Life didn't get easier, even in another world

211 You had to run

‘Get out of here?’

Kairen looked at Alan with a slightly surprised expression.

‘Does this man know of a way to get away from this crowd?’

Seeing Alan’s confident face, Kaire thought there was no way that he wouldn’t know of such a way.

Shhh Shhh

‘Alright alright!’

Kairen nodded his head.

“How are we going to get to somewhere quiet?”

Alan turned around and started to move.

.....

“Follow me!”

“....”

Kairen looked one last time on the soil before following Alan. The two of them walked a few meters until they stopped right in front of team leader Dains.

“Hey, Fidel!”

Alan waved at the team leader who was busy staring at the crowd with a cold and serious face. In Alan’s response, team leader Dains turned his gaze and looked at him with the same cold and serious face of his.

“We want to get away from this crowd for a while!”

“....”

“....”

‘What?’

Kairen nearly blurted that out loudly.

“What do you mean?”

Team leader Dains seemed just as dumbfounded as Kairen.

“I said we want to leave for a moment! This brat wants to talk to that soil dude so he needs to go somewhere quiet.”

“....”

“....”

Kairen... almost fainted.

Team leader Dains glanced at the panicked Kairen. He was staring at anywhere but his team leader’s face while screaming inwardly.

“...Talk to the soil attribute user?”

The team leader still looked confused. He seemed to have a lot of questions that he wanted to ask but couldn’t due to the circumstances.

“Ha!”

After staring at Kairen and making him cry even more inwardly, team leader Dains nodded his head with a sigh.

“Be back soon. I also need a full explanation.”

He then turned his gaze to the spot where he had been looking before Alan and Kairen interrupted him.

‘What? Really?’

Kairen couldn’t close his mouth.

‘He let me go? That easily?’

He looked at Alan with that open mouth of his.

“Let’s go, brat!”

Alan puffed his chest and strode towards where the cars were parked with a proud face.

“.....”

Shhhh Shhhh

‘Okay okay...’

Kairen opened and closed his eyes.

‘Well, whatever.’

What was done was already done. Would he get punished later? He didn’t want to think about that probability.

He turned around to walk towards the cars when he locked eyes with Kain for a moment.

‘Where are you going?’

Kairen hurriedly turned his head and looked at the air and fastened his steps.

The cars weren’t too far away from the crowd, but they weren’t too close either. Also, one could hide fairly good behind such big objects.

“I’ll stay here!”

Alan stood beside the first car and shooed Kairen away by waving his hand. Kairen walked a little bit more until he stood behind the last parked car. Just when he was wondering how they were going to talk and where the soil dude would come from, he heard the sound of soil again.

Shhh shhh

The soil shook and started to turn into letters.

‘Communication by soil again? Really?’

To say that Kairen wasn’t disappointed would be a lie.

Unlike last time that the soil would take shape on the ground, this time the small particles of dust started to float in the air.

-Sit down

“....”

Kairen obediently sat down on the ground. That car was not that tall and the upper half of his body was seen. It would be too obvious if he stood behind a car and looked at some floating soil anyway.

“Where are you?”

He asked as soon as he sat down.

-Somewhere around where you are

“Eh?”

Kairen looked behind his back.

-Don’t look

But he only saw some words floating in the air.

‘Ah but I want to see who you are!’

This wasn’t fair at all!

-This is urgent

Before Kairen could insist more on talking with the man face to face, the words changed again.

-You need to hurry

“What is it?”

The soil fell down. No words were created for a few seconds.

-They...

The words were changing rapidly

-Philomns

Kairen only focused on the words after seeing that name.

-They want to do something

Shhh Shhh

-Here

Shhh

-And the capital

.....

Shhh Shhhh

-They must’ve already

-Gotten started by now

. . . . . .

The room was silent.

The people sitting all around the large table were reading the papers in front of them. Some were frowning while reading them and some were jotting down some notes. They were all focused on the contents of the papers.

After a few minutes, the one sitting on the head of the table lightly tapped on the table and opened his mouth.

“So, does anyone have any objections?”

He looked at the people, waiting for their answer. The people also looked at the president and then started to exchange words with each other.

“Sir!”

Someone raised his hand.

“I want you to explain a little bit more about clause 5.”

The president nodded and looked at the documents.

“It is indeed a little bit complicated and I wanted to give a little more explanation. This clause intends to-”

Tap

The president had to close his mouth after sensing a hand on his shoulder.

“There is no need to explain any further, sir.”

A man whispered in his ear.

“....”

Once the president raised his head, he could see the smiling eyes of the leader of his escorts.

“What is the meaning of this?”

He glared at the team leader with a furious gaze. The president grabbed the team leader’s hand on his shoulder and tried to move it away, but he obviously lacked the strength to do so.

“Please don’t worry sir.”

The team leader completely ignored the president’s struggle and instead looked at the other people present in the room.

“I can’t promise anything, but I’ll try not to harm you much.”

“What are you-”

Creeek

The president was unable to finish his sentence as he was suddenly pulled out of his chair and thrown down to the ground by a strong force.

“President!”

“Team leader what are you-”

“Protect the president!”

The agents who were standing guard beside the door rushed towards the president in panic. They didn’t know what was going on. Their team leader had suddenly started to act strange and now was using violence on the person they were supposed to protect. Some of them stood there, not knowing what they were supposed to do, and some rushed towards the president in an attempt to help him.

“What is going on?”

“Isn’t he the head of the escorts?”

“What is the meaning of this?”

The other people in the room also stood up from their seats in shock.

“Team leader, the president-”

The team leader grabbed the president by the shoulder and pulled him behind again. He glared at the woman with long blonde hair and brown eyes, that was rushing towards them.

“Hah!”

He sneered and moved his hand inside his pocket, searching for something. As if he had finally found the thing he was looking for, the man raised an eyebrow while taking out his hand.

He was still staring at the woman with blonde hair and brown eyes.

“Didn’t you have a son, Alessia?”

“....”

The woman’s eyes widened upon hearing the thing he had expected the least to hear in such a situation.

“If I was you, I’d rather run away than stay here.”

“Team leader what are you...”

Alessia’s eyes fell on the thing that his team leader was holding.

There was a ring in his hand. A red, shiny, red ring.

‘Isn’t that...’

Why did the ring look so familiar?

Didn’t his husband have a bracelet with a familiar design to that ring?

“Argh!” ????????????????????????d. ????????ｍ

The team leader grabbed his chest as a groan left his lips. His expression suddenly looked pale and bids of cold sweat were forming on his forehead.

“Team leader are you alright?”

Alessia took one step closer to the man.

“That commander bastard...”

But she had to stop after hearing his mumbles.

“Heh!”

The man let go of his chest and chuckled. He moved his hand once again.

Wrrrrrr

The storage item on his uniform started to shake.

Wrrrrrr

Wrrrrrr

A few seconds later, there was something big and round on the man’s hand. He let go of the president and grabbed the ring with one hand while holding the round object with the other.

“Ah!”

Alessia took one step back.

“You had to run while you still had the chance to. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

She took another step back while staring at the round thing with trembling eyes.

“What is going on?”

“Team leader can you explain what is-”

“What is that thing?”

“This doesn’t look normal. We should leave this place.”

The politicians and diplomats in the room were all in panic, but there was no one who could answer their questions.

“R...”

Then, the same woman who was standing before the team leader said something. She took his eyes off of the object on the team leader’s hand. The object was now trembling ominously.

“Run!”

She yelled at the others in the room.

“Ah!”

But there was no time to do so.

BOMMMMMMMMMMMM
