Chapter 273 - The Mysterious Mission (1) (1/2)

As they entered the big hall, Charles came running towards them ”Where were you, I was so worried when I didn't see you.”

Rachel smiled and replied ”Dad, you worry for nothing, we were just looking around.”

Charles expression softened at his daughters words and then he said ”Now that you are here, come with me and stay close because we will be leaving soon.”

Rachel felt relaxed hearing that and after her dad left she turned to Robert to say ”I feel relieved that we are leaving soon but I am sad that there will be no drama for me to enjoy anymore.”

Robert laughed at her words and then quietly followed her around when she bumped into Alex again. He was about to run seeing Robert behind her but Rachel stopped him ”Are you alright?”

He had fear lurking in his eyes as he nodded ”What about you?”

Rachel smiled and questioned him instead ”Do I look like I am not alright.”

He quickly shook his hand and then Rachel looked into his fearful eyes and quickly comforted him ”Relax, he was just angry with me earlier and now that I have explained what happened to him, he won't act rashly and I am really sorry for his behavior.”

She then quickly turned to Robert, starting into his eyes waring him to apologize or she would not talk to him. If it was in the past, he could never have thought about apologizing to anyone but for this woman he spoke ”Sorry” without any sincere feeling but as long as he said that, Rachel was satisfied and gave him a smile.

Alex nodded and said ”It fine”

Rachel then looked at him and with a lot of trouble she spoke ”Can you not mention what happened earlier to anyone.”

He smiled politely ”You have my word for it, you are my best friend and I would never do anything to rat you out.”

Rachel smiled satisfied and then after a few more exchange of words he left. Soon Charles came back and all of them left the party after greeting the host.

After a few days Rachel got a call from David and she quickly picked up excited about what it was and as soon as she did she was greeted with scolding ”Didn't I tell you that I have to assign you to an important mission and you dare not come to me to even ask the details.”

Rachel quickly apologized and said ”I am sorry, I will come right away.”

As soon as the call was cut, Robert looked at her with a disappointed look and said ”Do you really have to do this, just let it be and live a normal life.”

Rachel smiled ”You worry for nothing, I love to do exciting things so I can't just give it up like that.”

Robert had a grim look on his face but he did not reply knowing that it was useless to argue with this person. He had no option but to go along with her to protect her so he shook his head in disappointment and went after her ”Let's go then.”

Rachel was way too excited for the mission as she had not done something this exciting, she did not consider the trouble with the creatures that were not human as she was only harmed in those situations but missions like these where she could get to fight with the people of her own level and most importantly humans ignited a spark inside her. She was practically hopping up and down which made Robert smile too, he simply could not help but let go of his anger. He smiled at the woman in front of her and said ”Let's go now or do you want to get scolded again.”

She shook her head and quickly went to change into her outfit that was given to her to be worn for the missions and at the same time Robert too changed his clothes. Both of them soon left to meet up with David. He was impatiently moving around in his room, Rachel had never seen him this anxious so she understood that the situation right now was dire and she had to be on full alert mode.
