Chapter 143 - Its time (2/2)

”Avrion is split, we don't know who to trust, the only people I trust right now and the only people you should trust right now, are those with the Red wings marking. Anyone can be after your life.” Ray thought about Jasmine as he said this.

”I grant you all permission to invite whoever you wish into this group; invite your close friends you want to protect but more importantly invite those you trust. You may all leave now apart from Jack.”

The three others bowed down before quickly leaving again while Jack had stayed behind. Now that Harry had left Ray no longer had to keep up his disguise and changed back to himself.

”It amazes me every time I see that?” Jack said. ”what do you need boss?”

”I want you to ask my roommates to join Red wings for me, offer them a contract. Right now is the best time. I can see that each and every one of them is frightened after the attack. If they believe this Nes character that was able to fend off the Dark Guild leader offered them protection and power, they're most likely to accept. The most important person we need right now though is Slyvia.”

Ray knew that Slyvia was important right now. If she was part of his organisation technically Ray would have a seat at the top of Avrion but Slyvia was cautious and the contract had too many restrictions. Would Slyvia really be able to put her life in the hands of a stranger?

Jack nodded and before he headed off, Ray said one last thing.

”One more thing, don't invite Gary. I need to do that myself.”

Ray sat down patiently as he waited for the results of the others. This whole time Ray had been taking it easy at the academy slowly getting 8stronger. After all, he was in no rush to achieve things, he had his goals but he could complete them at any time but Ray now knew he was being naive.

Twice now the Shadow plague had gone after his life and Ray couldn't let this go on any longer. When he fought against his father who was a true infected, Ray felt powerless. Although Ray wasn't sure if all true infected whereas powerful as his father it came to a shock that he wasn't able to lift a finger.

....

Suddenly notification screens started to pop up in front of Ray, as he went to take a look at them, he could see that all of his roommates so far had agreed to join Red wings which was the expected outcome. Now there were only two left Gary and Slyvia.

It would be a while before Jack would be able to invite Slyvia as she was busier than ever these days, which meant now Ray was left to invite Gary.

But before that, there was something else that was more urgent for Ray to do. Something that was on top of his list.

It was time for him to evolve.
