Sam wanted to go back to the lab, but he has this bad feeling that he couldn't shake off. He took out a token and sat down at the table.
Gail who is sitting at the sa table while going through a book looked at him.
"What is wrong? You don't look too well."
Sam looked at him and didn't even know what to answer.
"I feel like sothing is wrong. Jyon is taking the kids sowhere and at the sa ti a guy who was suspicious is also getting out using the clan's public space gates."
"It could just be a coincidence," Gail said with a faint smile.
"I have seen far too many things to believe in coincidences."
"Then why don't you just confirm it? It never hurts to try. Go and clarify your doubts instead of brooding over here and trying to guess whether you are just overthinking. It is only a waste of ti."
Sam imdiately nodded and took out his communication token. He walked out of the room and contacted Jyon.
"Ms. Jyon why did you plan this vacation at this mont?"
"What do you an why? For the kids of course."
"I know it is for kids, but is there any trigger or any suggestion from anyone you know or don't know that might have prompted you to take the vacation right now at the mont?"
Jyon stayed silent for a mont and said.
"Sam, I respect you a lot and with all the recent incidents my respect only grew, but don't you think you are being a bit too paranoid? Nothing will happen to the kids and I am taking the kids out completely out of volition. Even if it is hard for you to believe, I completely thought of that idea on my own.
I am near the space gate and I would be leaving now. You wouldn't be able to contact through this token, so just don't bother. You also need to take a break from this, so just relax. Nothing will happen to the kids."
"Listen.."
Before he could even speak, she cut the communication off and he wasn't even able to contact her again.
Sam sighed.
Overly paranoid. That thought also crossed his mind, but he has this feeling that he is definitely not overthinking.
He couldn't suppress it and contacted one of Giyon's subordinates stationed at Jyon's place. He asked her so questions and he still didn't get any answers that he needed.
From the looks of it, everything is normal.
Sam then made a call to the subordinate outside.
"Where is the rcenary group going?"
"They are in the line for one of the subordinate realms, Sir. Nothing is wrong. I also inquired from which realm did they co and it indeed looks like they just stopped here."
"What about the suspicious activity outside the clan? Why did they show it?"
"Maybe their force of habit sir. A team is looking into it, but that all we could think of at the mont."
"Alright. Just keep an eye and make sure that you report to if there are any changes in their plan. Also, call after they left."
"Yes, Sir."
Sam walked in and Gail asked.
"So, what is the situation? Is your gut instinct wrong?"
"I believe so. Everything seems normal. I don't know why, but I just couldn't shake the feeling off."
Gail looked at him deeply for a mont and didn't say anything before going back to the book.
Sam also took a deep breath and went back to the lab.
He went on with doing concoctions while looking through the reactions of the flesh. He even saw so results that could be useful here and there.
An hour passed and finally, the call ca from the subordinate.
"They left sir. There is no activity whatsoever."
Sam sighed and just decided to go with his own work. But before that, he looked at the token on the table.
He slowly picked it up and was about to store it away and all of a sudden, it started glowing.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he imdiately grabbed the token and ran out. He went to et Gail and said.
"Sothing is wrong on that vacation spot. Please co with ."
Sam said as he took out another token and threw it to him.
Gail frowned, but he still caught the token and got ready. Both of them crushed the token at the sa ti and the whole room is surrounded with spatial elental energy. But when it stopped, only Sam disappeared from there and Gail looked at his hand with a frown.
The crushed token is left in his hands, and he also felt it working, trying to envelop him and trying to take him away from this spot to a different one.
But all of a sudden, he felt a lot of resistance and it didn't work anymore.
The bad feeling that Sam is speaking about also started coming for him and he imdiately ran out of the house.
He leaped into the air and rapidly made his way to the space gates. It didn't even take two minutes for him to do that and he grabbed the person in charge there.
"Where did Jyon take the kids?"
The person in charge couldn't even speak because of the suppression and could only weakly point at a space gate.
Gail threw him away and ran towards it. The subordinates there hurriedly activated the space gate, but when Gail entered it, it didn't work.
No matter what they did, Gail didn't disappear.
"What the fuck is happening?" Gail asked coldly.
"We… We don't know sir. Sothing is wrong with the space gate all of a sudden."
"Then fix it. You idiot."
Gail then looked at the elder who is in charge and said.
"Call the clan leader here. If sothing happens to my daughter on the other side, I will not let this go."
As Gail is seething in anger on a faraway planet which is solely used by the Gaja clan mbers for vacationing on a beach.
The kids are all frightened as they surrounded Jyon and hugged her. In front of her, there are a group of people.
And that group is the sa rcenary group Sam has suspected all this while. Behind that group, Malgav stood coldly looking at the whole scene.
"Malgav, this wouldn't go away easily. My father wouldn't let you go."
"What does this have anything to do with ? I didn't cause this. All I am doing is standing there and looking at what is about to happen. I accept that I don't have the guts to do anything to you or the kids, but I am definitely not going to be the hero that is going to step in and stop sothing that is going to happen to you."
Malgav paused as he touched his disfigured face and skin. They are all wrinkly and there is clearly no trace of the charm this young man used to have.
"Just because, I enjoyed myself a bit with a girl, your sister's dog did sothing like this to . I would like to see if these kids would be saved by that guy."
Jyon was horrified. She doesn't know if what Malagav said is true. She doesn't know if these people really don't have anything to do with him.
But she knew that malgav is the only one around them and she needs his help to save them.
She then turned to the rcenaries and yelled.
"The Grand Elder, wouldn't spare you. You wouldn't be able to use this barrier to stop his senses for long."
Before the rcenaries could say anything, Malgav said.
"Too bad, the grand elder is not on this planet. He has gone back to the Clan to report sothing. It is just you and those vermin along with these rcenaries. It would be a good show to watch."
As he said that, he used his spiritual energy to pile the sand up a bit and sat on it.
Jyon held the token in her hands and squeezed it hard. She already sent the energy into it, but she doesn't know if this would help her at the mont.
She took her flute and started playing. The water in the sea riled up and surrounded her and the kids creating a barrier.
The rcenaries just smirked and started attacking. Every one of them is actually a warrior and they are using different blade weapons.
The leader in particular sliced through the water barrier and entered. But was shocked to see another water barrier in front of him.
"let see how many layers you could create miss. This would be fun."
He swung his blade and the layer was torn off.
Jyon started panicking and she almost started weeping. Her eyes clearly beca wet with tears and at this exact mont, she sensed the spatial energy coming out of her token and was surprised.
Before she knew it, the token flew out of her hand and hovered in the air and Sam appeared out of nowhere.
