I’d have to wait until they ended their meeting and then I’d interrogate them for everything. I wouldn’t just settle with something like it was a secret and such bull**.

Anyway, as I had nothing else to do, I decided to rest until my team finished what they were doing.

It took slightly longer than I expected. The first to come up was Hilary. And from the look over her face, I knew she was feeling conflicted about what she already knew.

“You know…” She paused, not knowing what she should say.

“Shush, this is his secret, and we shall work to protect it together,” I whispered to her, motioned with fingers on lips to stop talking about this.

“His? Are you still calling him that?!!” She was still not sure about how to deal with the jumper. But in my eyes, as long as the jumper decided to keep his identity hidden, then I should simply respect his desire.

“It’s not up to us anyway to decide that, ” I said before adding, “everyone of us has his secrets. We don’t need to expose his secrets until he decides to do so himself.”

“But…”

“Just forget what you saw and knew,” I sighed, “just treat him the same way you did all this time.”

“He is… Pathetic,” she sighed, went to my side and sat as she leant her head over my shoulder, “I never thought behind that cold mask would exist such a fragile person.”

“It’s… Just unfortunate how things went wrong for him,” I also felt bad about him, “we are his friends, and I believe we are the only friends he acquired since that incident happened.”

“I… Can’t believe it yet,” she closed her eyes as she added in soft tone, “he is just a poor person. I hope I could have the chance to help him.”

“We can,” I patted on her head, “we will.”

“Hmm…”

She just nodded and didn’t add anymore. I also kept myself silent, only looked at the distance and enjoyed this rare moment of peace.

As for that jumper, I didn’t need to ask. He deserved a long period of rest. Avoiding everyone was the right course of action here. If he ended up dealing with others, he might just recur again and relapse.

I wasn’t in any rush right now to ask him to help. The upcoming period, luckily, was one which required planning and preparations.

“Oh, it seems whenever you two got the chance, you won’t stop acting like two teenagers.”

Just after a couple of hours of rest, the familiar voice of Angelica came while she wasn’t doing any control over her laughs.

“Stop it,” Hilary turned her head and looked at her in warning, “come here girl, let me know your latest news.”

“I’ll excuse myself then,” I knew sitting here and listening to such girl gossip was a nightmare for me.

“What? As if you already don’t know,” Angelica gave me such a look as if I was living with her all the time or something.

“I’m leaving,” I didn’t give anyone a room to say anymore, stood up and went to a far corner than where these two sat.

But I didn’t have time to enjoy staying away like that in peace. The next to come were the couples, the spearhead and his girl; Isabella. Then Alex came with Leo.

Then Sara came last.

And by this, my team was all here, only missing the jumper.

“Boss, we are ready to move out,” the spearhead said while stealing a few glances at the two girls sitting head to head and whispering to each other.

“Are they… Plotting something against you?” I didn’t know where this dude got such an idea from. He came closer and whispered as if he was telling something extremely important and serious.

“They are plotting against you,” I rolled my eyes before adding, “they are saying the spearhead doesn’t deserve the angelic Isabella and are thinking about ways to separate you from each other.”

“Damn! Damn! Boss, boss! Please! Please, I beg you!”

That idiot… He bought it as if there was no chance for it to be a joke. As from his side, Isabella was hardly controlling herself from laughing and giggling.

She was too smart to know this was a prank. But that spearhead was just acting all insecure and kept pleading for me to interfere and stop this from happening.

“Please boss, I’ll do anything you ask for.”

“Ok, leave this to me,” I said in confidence, while everyone around were trying to look away, trying not to look the spearhead in the eye or else they’d explode in laughter.

“Boss, don’t let them touch me and my Alex,” Leo said, faking his worry like a spearhead.

I gave that dude a warning gaze. This joke must stop here or these two girls would go crazy and turn it into a reality.

“Dude, stop playing with fire,” I said in an honest way, “or else I won’t be able to help you.”

“This… Ok…” he seemed to get terrified when I said that, stealing gazes from time to time at the two girls sitting at the corner.

“Now, are you all ready to move?” I didn’t want anyone to keep talking about this joke or else it would turn by our words into a reality.

As they nodded, and said things about how they finished deploying their forces around, I started to control my chariot and fly towards the direction of my capital.

The journey from here to Boston took six hours of direct flying. We passed over lots of empty cities and towns for almost two hours, before finally reaching a zone where we started to see races at these places.

Of course these cities and towns had only my humans, Berserkers, and Selvators. No other race was there.

“We need to check these towns and cities,” but Sara seemed to think about the presence of few races here and there, “if we found any, we should kill.”
