nChapter 64 Patriarch Knows
nBranco and his fellow scientists sat in the car in the middle. They were almost at the airport when the incident happened.
nBranco had anticipated something like this. They had a safe trip until they reached the last few miles, making him nervous.
nThen, over a dozen men pushed through the cars from both sides and surrounded Branco’s vehicle.
nOne of them stared at the Flamians and smirked. “The Moonians are leaving, and no one is going to stop them!”
n“Who are you?” the leader of the Flamians asked coldly.
nThe captain of the men in black said proudly, “I’m Theo Soan! Get lost now, or you’ll be in great trouble when he gets angry!”
nThe Flamian leader snapped. “I don’t care who you are! We won’t let Branco leave Flamia, even if it means killing him!”
nTheo Soan smirked. “And what makes you think you can do that?”
n“Try me!” The Flamian leader gave the order, and his men charged at the Moonians.
nTheo shouted, “Jack, Fred, protect Uncle Branco. The rest of you, attack!”
nThe Guardians were far more capable than ordinary people. Although they weren’t as formidable as the three divisions, no ordinary people would be their match, not even members of James’ Martial Arts Association.
nThey defeated the Flamians without any difficulty.
nTheo tapped Branco’s car window, and the latter rolled it down.
n“Uncle Branco, we’re the Guardians. The Patriarch has sent us here to escort you back! The award ceremony is taking place tonight in Neige, and the Patriarch wants to know if you want to attend. If the answer’s yes, you can go to Neige, and someone there will get you back to Moon. You don’t need to worry about anything.”
nBranco was delighted. “You’re the Guardians!” He then asked in surprise, “What did you say? The award ceremony?”
n“Yes! Viclan has won the Nobel Prize!”
n“Viclan? I have to go, then! But the Patriarch wanted us back…”
n“It’s alright. The Patriarch is the one who asked us to deliver this message.”
n“Thank you! I’ll stay a night in Neige, then, and go back home tomorrow!”
n“Deal!”
nIn Winland.
n“William, you can’t get away. Please come back with me, or we won’t be so civil anymore!” A few Winish men cornered William and his colleagues. They might sound sincere, but they were trying to intimidate the scientists.
nHimmel Soan had anticipated incidents like this. That was why he sent the Guardians.
nOver a dozen black men jumped down from the building roofs on either side of the alley.
n“I’m sorry, Uncle William. We should have come earlier. Are you alright?”
n“Who are you?”
n“We’re the Guardians. The Patriarch has sent us here to pick you up. He knew these people would give you trouble, so he sent us here to help you!”
nWilliam’s eyes lit up. “The Patriarch is a wise man! Thank you for your help!”
n“My pleasure! The Patriarch also told me to deliver a message. The Nobel Prize ceremony is taking place tonight in Neige. If you would like to go, you can go to Neige first before returning home!”
nThe Winish men were furious.
n“Who are you?”
n“It’s none of your business! Get out of my way!”
n“You clowns! You think so highly of yourselves, don’t you? Guys, let’s teach them a lesson! No one can take William away!”
nIt was the same as what happened in Flamia.
nThe Winish men charged at the Guardians, but they weren’t their match at all. They were defeated in no more than three minutes.
nSimilar things happened in other countries.
nMany scientists headed for Neige when they heard that the Nobel Prize was to be given to Moonians this year.
nBack in Moon, people were discussing avidly online.
n“What? The Nobel Prize ceremony has been moved forward? Why?”
n“The rumors are true, then. The scientists really are coming back, and Neige has stalled them with the Nobel Prize!”.
n“Don’t make me laugh! You’re living in a dream! Why do you think they’re ever going to come back? With or without the Nobel Prize, they’ll remain where they are! Stop dreaming!” “Don’t take such news too seriously. Neige is always behind everything. They’ve tampered with the Nobel Prize every year. Although, why is the ceremony so early this time? I thought it wouldn’t happen for another two months.”
n“You people are hilarious. Do you seriously think they’re coming back tomorrow? Do you still believe it now? You’re so dumb!”
nThe netizens bickered online as they watched the Dragon Cave trial.
n“We still have time. It’s too early to tell. I’m sure they’ll be back tomorrow!” “Look! We have another naive little fool here! I’m laughing so loudly right now. You really believe they’re coming back tomorrow!”
n“Let’s wait and see if they’ll be here tomorrow! I hope you can still be so certain by then!”
nIt was going to be an eventful night for Neige. Because of the 12-hour time difference, it was daytime in Moon when everything took place.
nBy the following morning, people were saying all sorts of things online. “What did I tell you? They would never abandon what they’ve earned in Neige! You people must be dreaming! You idiots! Don’t make me laugh!”
n“It’s noon already. Didn’t they say they would arrive at Sacred Temple Airport by noon? Where are they now?”
n“Where are the people who were so sure they would come back? @CandiceMain, don’t play dead! I remember what you said yesterday! Why have you gone radio silent? Say something! Answer me!”
n“That’s right! Say something! What? You can’t face reality now? Have you lost your faith? Do you still love your country?”
nSome vloggers were even waiting at the airport so that they could broadcast the scene live.
n“Hello, everybody. I’m at the Sacred Temple Airport. I’ve been waiting here since ten o’clock this morning, but I haven’t seen a single scientist. I think it’s safe to say that the accounts that have replied to Mr. Himmel Soan’s post were all fake!”
