Chapter 280 [280] A Matter Of Trust.
It took just a second for nearly half of the slums to collapse. The ground beneath caved in and the black market was no more.
*RUMBLE!*
The fight had taken a toll on the environment. The Black market was below the ground, under the slums...and now both it and the Slums were gone.
Adam and Alan's fight was destructive, and Adam lost the fight miserably. He had found a way to escape, however.
The slashes he fired off were not aimed at Alan but were instead aimed at the already suffering ceiling. He was waiting for it to fall and escape by using a mysterious circle that oozed Chaos Energy.
who knows how many people died? The entire ground collapsed and fell On Alan and Lucas and whoever was left alive in the Black Market.
*BOOM*
An explosion of frost energy occurred amidst the rubble, And Alan emerged from the Rubble.
"huuu..."
Frost's breath escaped from his mouth as he looked at the destruction.
"...he escaped..."
Alan muttered. He was angry that Adam had escaped. Although he was unaware of how he had escaped.
The energy of chaos was felt as he disappeared into the magic circle.
Suddenly, Alan saw dozens of metal chains erupt from the ground. And an angry blonde-headed man rose from the rubble.
"DAMN IT, THE BITCH ESCAPED!"
It seemed even his opponent had escaped.
Lucas took a glance at the surrounding destruction, his face crumpled as he came to a sudden realization.
"MY MEN! DAMN, IT! OPERATION OFF I HAVE TO GO!"
"..."
Alan saw him scoot in an instant.
"..."
He sat down on the rubble and looked at his wounds. He didnt realize the importance of Pheonix's bloodline power until now. It hurt.
Normally, it would hurt only when he was injured and that pain would be somewhat nullified with the Pheonix's great power of Regeneration. Now it hurt all the time. His head would be on flames sometimes and now this. His blood seeped out of his wounds...his entire body was covered in wounds.
He wanted to rest, just for a little while...
"...!'
All of a sudden, he heard the sounds of sirens and various other noises which indicated the coming of people with his enhanced senses. He got up and opened up a portal.
*****
[Alan's room.]
As always, the room was messy and covered in chalk. The walls...nearly everything that was solid was covered in chalk. However, there were new additions to the already messy room. Seven Notebooks were littered on the ground, and Sabrina was also present, writing in a notebook and wearing glasses. It was unknown how long she was there for, but judging by the number of notebooks on the ground it seemed she had been trying for long to solve the markings of the walls.
All of a sudden, A green portal opened up and Alan entered his room, However, Sabrina, despite being aware did not stop whatever she was doing.
"Back Already?"
She said, her gaze still fixed on the notebook. Alan on the other hand stood still, shocked.
He hadn't moved a single inch upon entering his room. He was just too surprised about the presence of Sabrina in his room.
Sabrina still did not take her eyes off her notebook...until.
*Sniff*.
She smelled the scent of blood. The metallic scent of blood invaded her nostrils and finally caused her to look at the source.
Her pencil fell on the ground as she saw Alan, covered in his own blood, with multiple cuts on his body and his face scarred.
"..."
Alan remained silent, not knowing what to say, the poor guy was confused.
"...stay here. I'll get the medkit."
"...?"
******
He couldn't say a thing. He could only just listen to her berate him as she healed his wounds. Sabrina had gone and gotten a medkit after seeing Alan. And just as Alan was about to leave she got back.
Her gaze just screamed 'Stay Fucking Still.'
And what do you know? Alan listened. It was shocking but who would have thought Alan would just stay still? Was he tired to argue or just terrified? Who knows.
"...Did you cause the Black Market Incident?"
Suddenly, as She was bandaging his arm she asked a question. Alan however stayed Silent.
"..."
Seeing that Alan did not respond...she fell Silent.
'...How is he still alive?'
She thought to herself, the amount of Blood Alan had just bled was not normal, it was enough to kill awakened...but then she remembered he was a Draconian. And they were an entirely different species.
'...those tattoos
"Did you know how worried we all were?"
"What?"
"You suddenly disappeared, Your grandparents were all worried and even Predator."
"..."
Alan remained Silent as he truly had nothing to say. His anger had taken the best of him...and and...and...?
He was just so angry all he thought about was revenge... revenge...and revenge...
Nothing else?
"Don't do that ever again."
"..."
She said, her voice sounded worried. Funny, It was supposed to be Alan worried about her safety but now the tables had turned. Instead of the bodyguard being worried...it was the client.
"...what are all those notebooks around?"
Alan asked, he had been wondering for quite a while about the notebooks on the ground.
"I solved the four runes that were highlighted."
She said, pointing to the four runes circled in the wall.
"...?"
Alan abruptly stood up in shock. He had tried so hard to solve all those runes...but she did it? That meant...that meant...
"...elvenheim..."
He muttered in a low voice...
"After doing a bit of research...I found that they were runes that were in the Norse Mythos, they all contained some sort of information about Spatial Travel..."
"...you actually did it?"
"Yeah? Although I am stuck now, I did find the meaning of the four runes."
"YOU FUCKING DID IT!"
suddenly, Alan grabbed her shoulders and lifted her up, like she weighed nothing. His joy was immeasurable. HOW COULD IT NOT BE? HIS DREAM OF SAVING HIS SISTER...had advanced! His affection for Sabrina had risen tenfold!
Sabrina, surprised by Alan's sudden actions blushed while she screamed.
"HEY! PUT ME DOWN!!!"
