Returning From The Magic World

Arthur stared at her because of her movements.

Of course, there was a reason he had brought her with him.

It was because of the possibility that they were family.

Although there was no proof yet and Isabel had not confirmed it, there were signs.

Perhaps he didn't have any memories with Alice, but if their blood really came from the same blood, showing a little hospitality to her was natural. After all, that woman did not look like she had done anything wrong.

The truth was that she didn't know anything either.

Over time, they went further and further into the forest, passing through more and more dangerous places.

The crocodile was probably the biggest, but there were some bears that were also very dangerous if they targeted humans.

People who had never entered the forest wouldn't know how many unexpected creatures there were.

After some time, Arthur and the others saw a light ahead, a light that clearly came from lamps.

It was in the middle of a very dense grove of trees. The top was completely covered by the branches of the tree so that nothing could penetrate out.

Arthur ordered the crocodile to stop.

He then made a more thorough observation.

There, there was a building similar to a castle and it looked very old, probably built several hundred years ago.

The width of the building was about 50 meters while the length was about 30 meters. It had three floors where the spacing of each floor was quite high so overall the building also appeared tall.

Despite its age, the windows of the building were new, clearly a product of the modern era.

Plus, there were a few cars in the courtyard.

"Have you been there?" Arthur asked Alice.

The others looked at her as they were also curious about her answer.

Alice responded by shaking her head.

"This is my first time coming here," she replied.

"What did Grayson say when he asked you to follow him here?"

"He said there was some secret research going on."

"Secret research?" Arthur laughed softly.

Of course, it didn't matter if Grayson took it all as official because of his high rank.

As long as the Army Chief of Staff and the Commander-in-Chief didn't know, it was fine.

Those who were commanded by him could only nod.

He, on the other hand, could easily keep an eye on them not to leak secrets.

"There are a lot of people in there and really no CCTV," Arthur told everyone.

It seemed that Grayon might not want any traces here so he preferred not to install CCTV in the building.

Ordering people loyal to him to conduct surveillance might convince him more.

"Rose!" Arthur then called out to the woman.

"You and the others, go in first, make sure you take out everyone in the building."

Although there were many people in the building, most of them were just ordinary humans. There were probably only about five Evolvers.

More were the people who would be helped to become Evolvers.

Unfortunately, that process had not yet begun.

With such a situation, Rose and the remaining three mercenaries were enough to handle it, he and Isabel did not need to come along.

Rose, Ryan, and the other two quickly went to the building.

And Jade, even though she didn't get the order, she also followed them.

With their quick movements, it only took them two seconds to pass through the building's courtyard.

They entered it immediately and soon after, panicked screams echoed from inside the building, followed by the sounds of gunfire.

Surprisingly enough, there was even an explosion, shattering the walls of the building and several soldiers were blown away.

When they fell, they were already lifeless.

However, Arthur wasn't sure if it was an explosion from a bomb or certain chemicals.

He wasn't interested in finding out either, he just kept waiting.

The only one who was panicking was Alice. She showed a horrified expression when she heard the sounds of various screams inside the building.

Unfortunately, Rose and the others didn't seem to be able to do a good job as there were several people who managed to get out of the building.

Some of them surprised Arthur.

"Alex," he said spontaneously.

That's right, he saw Alex who he hadn't seen for a few days since Bella used her wind magic to teach him a lesson so he couldn't take the exam.

Besides him, there were five other students who were members of his gang.

"Who are they?" Isabel asked Arthur.

"These are the school students who have challenged me," Arthur replied.

"And that man, he should be a member of the God Eye Organization, more precisely their agent."

Arthur didn't know if Grayon had any connection to that organization, but of course Alex's presence here didn't guarantee that since the latter was only a field agent.

It could be that he chose to enlist when Grayon was secretly recruiting people to join the force he was building.

For now, he couldn't help but be intrigued by the man. He finally patted the crocodile's head, telling him to move.

Alex was now very panicked.

He didn't know what was happening, but the woman who beat him up at school had suddenly come to the place where he was going to get superpowers.

The woman beat up everyone until they were helpless.

He didn't know what happened, but when she saw him and his gang, she just laughed and then let them go.

Of course, he took advantage of that.

Now, escaping was the only other option as the entire building was almost overrun.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to reach the end of the building's courtyard, he suddenly saw the trees ahead fall one by one.

Before he could think of what happened, a loud roaring sound echoed from there, making his body freeze and he finally saw the crocodile that was still taller than him while being almost half the length of a basketball court.

His body was still frozen when he saw the crocodile, but sweat filled his body in just the blink of an eye.

His friends experienced the same condition, and in fact it was even worse.

"It seems like we're really connected by fate, even here we meet again, I suspect the heavens gave you the fate to die in my hands."

Right after that, Alex heard a very familiar voice, the voice of someone he really wanted to beat up.
