Chapter 267 - Home (3) (2/2)
”Yeah and I know the way”
Mars brushed off the elf and continued walking further into the tree, soon he arrived in the innermost chamber and stood in front of a big door which he kicked open and walked into the dim hall
”Oh, he's finally here”
”Welcome Mars”
”We have been waiting for your arrival”
Mars narrowed his eyes slightly before he spoke
”You all have some explanation to do”
The elders fell quite before one of them spoke
”So do you Mars, Where have you been?”
”Why did you only return now?”
”and why---”
”SILENCE!”
The elders fell quite again at Mars' outburst, seeing them shut up Mars gave a nod and asked
”Who told you it was okay to touch my stuff?”
”Mars we assumed that you weren't coming back”
”If you are angry with us we will gladly apologize”
Mars narrowed his eyes and spoke
”If you didn't assume that I would return then why didn't you protect my women?”
”We did, we have---”
”If you did then why did I have to kick away a bug yesterday?”
”...That particular... 'bug' is the crown prince of a nation that is twice the size of Green river and has the full support of the NNE, Mars... You didn't kill him did you?”
”No I did not, broke every bone in his body though”
One of the elders gave a sigh of relief before she spoke
”In that case we can still salvage the situation... Now if you don't mind us asking, where have you been the last year and why didn't you return sooner?”
”I didn't return because my ability to tear space have been revoked by the administrator of Alfan, the new one”
The expression on the faces of the elders changed before they exchanged glances before one of them spoke
”In that case we can shelter you in Green river no more”
Mars returned to his home and walked into the living room, Varvei that was lazing around on a couch noticed him returning and felt that something was wrong and quickly got up from the couch and walked over to him before she asked
”Mars what's wrong?”
”....can you gather all the others here quickly?”
”Sure”
Varvie ran off to get the others and soon all six of the girls were gathered along with VIctoria, Mars took a deep breath before he spoke
”I am being kicked out of Green river”
The girls reacted like one would think, with bevidlement after some time passed Chloe asked
”But... Why?”
Mars gave a sigh and then explained why he had been gone for so long, about how he had been punished by the administrator and his ability to tear space had been taken from him and then about the elders decision to kick him out of Green river
”Basically I am a liability to Green river”
Chloe looked like her spirit had left her and walked over and sat down on a couch meanwhile the other girls looked taken aback, Mars gave a wry smile
”They did offer to take us out of the forest by sky carriage though... So I guess it's time to get packing”
Mars walked over and sat down next to Chloe while the others began packing, Mars didn't know what to say at first but then he gradually formed a sentence in his head but right before he began speaking Chloe suddenly yelled
”Those damned undead! What 'liability'!? You have protected the city more than a few times over the last five years and now they are just going to kick us out!?”
Mars gave a wry smile, it looked like he didn't need to cheer Chloe up, instead he handed her a crystal card and asked her
”Can you go to the bank and transfer all our assets onto this card?”
”Sure Mars... Damn undead, I hope their reign will end soon!”
Still fuming Chloe took the crystal card and walked out of the living room leaving Mars alone with Victoria
”Well then... Victoria want to help me destroy the prototypes that are too heavy to move?”
”Sure...”
