Chapter 403 - Not Staying (2/2)

”Kids, go and try to gather information from the nearby citizens,” Harry ordered to the two students. ”And let us know what's going on.”

”Yes, sir!” They both said as they went to conduct some interviews.

”It looks like you might have another problem to deal with,” Scarlett said. ”Anyway, Ray, I wanted you to stop here because I'm not staying at the city. I still have more work to do out there.”

”Work? But you can stay here, you'll be safe,” Ray replied. ”And maybe I can help, or get one of these guys to help. They're good at all sorts of different things.”

”Ray, I'm proud of you, and I'm proud of what you have built. I know these people are great. I've been with them for a while now and thanks to them I have my answer. But this is something I have to do on my own.”

Ray didn't know why, but it was hurting him as he heard this. All he knew was he wanted to stay. If he didn't know where she was, it would worry him.

”If you go, then at least sign this!”

Using the system, Ray immediately pulled up the contract and sent over an offer to his mother. It was a shame, that adjustments couldn't be made but the contract was something every perosn had to agree on. Thier life was in Ray��s hands.

Reading this, Scarlett didn't know how to react, suddenly she realised what the seal was on the others as well.

'What amazing power you have Ray.' She thought.

Quickly, she declined the offer. ”Ray, I'm your mother. Not the other way round. I'm still in charge of you. As long as this city is still here, I promise I will come back in the future. Also, I hear you have been getting involved in the empire. Do you remember that pendant I gave you before I left?”

Ray quickly looked down, and could feel something around his chest, he brought it out around his neck, and it was still there. Not once had he ever taken it off.

”Good, keep it. One day I'm sure it will come in handy for you. Or it might even bring you more trouble depending on how you see it.”

With that, a carriage was hired, and Ray's mother was on her own journey that Ray had no part off.

”She was a nice perosn,” Martha said.

'Perhaps she played a big part in Sen's change of character' Bliss thought, seeing the interactions between the two. 'If the future of the world turns out well, I will have to greatly reward her.'

Seeing the number of citizens standing in front of the gate. The group decided to take a detour around. An announcement that the king and other high officials being there could almost cause a riot with how many were trying to gain access to the city. The students returned to Harry as well, informing him what they had found out.

”What is it?” Martha asked.

”I think it's best if we all talk to Slyvia about this one,” Harry replied.

As soon as they gained access inside one of the head guards came rushing towards them.

”King Ray, I have urgent news. Leader Slyvia has asked for everyone's prescience for a meeting immediately. She told me to inform you as soon as you return.” The guard said.

Just what was going on? They thought.
