Chapter 124 - 124. Who? (1/2)

The bedroom door opened at the same time as Mack's grip on the sword intensified, because he saw the man he didn't want to see right now, the overseer.

The overseer, seeing Mack's expression, quickly gazed down and saw Mack holding his sword and immediately understood what's on Mack's mind.

”Hahaha, good! good!” laughed the overseer, but Mack didn't bulge an inch nor gave an explanation, so he continued, ”Good that you are prepared, because we may need you. Someone leaked our position, and a Mage Alliance fleet had come to this planet. They will take time to track us, but we may need to fight our way out”

Mack relaxed his grip on the sword, and as if not understanding, quickly asked, ”Was not that Oath of yours absolute?”

The overseer shook his head and said, ”Nothing in this world is absolute, but enough of chit chat. Prepare what you need, and come to the main hall. Lets hope we would not need to fight. Otherwise...”

The overseer did not finish his phase and just started to walk out to leave time to Mack prepare himself when he heard Mack say, ”I'm always ready, lets go.”

While walking by the corridor Mack asked, ”This ship can fight? Does it have guns or something?”

The overseer shook his head and said, ”The guns are us!”

Mack understood the meaning. The overseer may look like an easygoing person, but just the fact that he could walk on air showed how high his battle prowess was.

Mack gave a small nod and didn't say anything more.

Silence permeated the corridor as only the steps of both could be heard. Both were already mentally prepared for a fight, and that was the difference between a regular person and someone forged by battles. Their attitude changed in a blink of an eye when their lives were on the line.

A few moments later, arriving at the main hall, Mack saw Lorin along with other members of the organization, some were non-essential crew of the ship while others were people that Mack recognized from before, the healer, and the guy that brought him to his bedroom.

Entering the room Mack gave a small nod to them but said nothing, their expressions were not of people worried, but they were not at ease too, anxiousness could be clearly seen on their faces, except for one person, Lorin, she was the only one that seemed on the verge of panicking, and the reason was obvious, she could not fight, not even to protect herself.

A man approached Mack and gave him a small backpack, and said ”A jetpack, do you know how to use it?”

Seeing the confused face on Mack, the overseer took the lead and explained, ”It will allow you to flight. It's very simple to use...”

But before he could finish the explanation, Mack said, ”I don't need, I have my ways.”
