Chapter 266 Emergency (2/2)

Going into a city, especially Haven, posed too much risk There were too many bounty hunters on the main roads Panopticon and hero presence in Haven was also especially high right now incase variants attacked again

Going to Blackwater took too much time Same issue with the Crypt

There was a way around this, though Fler'Gan had arcane type spells, spells relating to utility, that could dispel [Spatial Lock] Froet to the Death Lord

However, Fler'Gan was all the way back in the co farther away by the minute

Valera closed her eyes, and by virtue of her strong bond with Aldrich as his chosen, she could sense Chrysa too "She is suffering- we must tend to her" She looked to Aldrich, but saw in his eyes the same confusion she had "But if even you do not knohat ails her, then the only one left we can turn to is that snake"

The Death Lord Aldrich knew Valera was right If there was so on with Chrysa, it was her

"We need to go And we need to do it now She's not suffering any physical da her ently His jaw set in si discontent

Aldrich laid Randall's body down and pointed to a tarp hanging from a shack "Wrap the body in this and carry it out"

"Yes, my master," said Valera

As she went to tear the tarp away, Aldrich contacted V

"What, ?" said V

"Get Casimir on the line," said Aldrich

V sensed the seriousness in Aldrich's voice and immediately did as he asked

A few seconds later, and Casimir smooth voice flowed into Aldrich's ear piece "Ah, Mr Vane, I trust things are going remarkably on your end, no?"

"No time for small talk," said Aldrich

"I understand" Casih it kept its friendly fluidity, it was easy to tell that if Aldrich saw Casimir now, the emote on the ht lipped, focused gaze "What is it you desire ofto send you soency evac In the et there"

Air flight was strictly regulated in the post-Monstering era, so nobody in the underworld atteet the ha down on theardless, Casimir had two Airbirds, medium sized transport jets, as an insurance policy for a quick and desperate getaways It was always better to travel by land and not draw attention, but when push came to shove, air travel was faster

If possible, Aldrich would have sent Ace over, but he was busy on the mission to capture Feather

This was risky Even if the airbird took Aldrich outside of the city, he was still in range of Panoption/AA surveillance

But it was a risk Aldrich illing to take

"The airbird?" said Casihtly controlled around walled cities, even if they are a er tier 3 - are you certain this is the only way?

You will no doubt draw lingering gazes not only from rabble bounty hunters and underworld eyes, but also Panopticon surveillance and the AA itself

A breach of city airspace may warrant quite an unpleasant response

Nor drones and perhaps a C rank hero, all annoyances you can say, but in light of the Locus Raids, youwith an ill disposed B, no, perhaps A rank hero"

"Get Clint on board," said Aldrich Clint was a natural deterrent His reputation as the 'Unbreakable' was not just limited to nomad communities

Heroes would know of him too Even an A rank hero would think ht with Clint on it "And tell him I owe him a favor and a drink for this"
