Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 25 Its time for Afro Cu

"... Miss Alina had told me about you accompanying us..." Lord Gallius replied with a cold voice. "Even though you joining Miss Alina is legally allowed, there are many that will still frown upon what you did."

"Well, as long as it is legal, then I see nothing wrong with it." Alex replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Hmph, its shady characters like you that besmirch the image of the World Esper Organization!" Lord Gallius said as his body bristled.

"I know all about your unlicensed awakening! The only reason that you are not arrested right now is because you awakened under the guidance of Sir Jackal." Lord Gallius said as he stared at Alex with narrowed eyes.

"What’s worse was your very ’dubious’ background. If it were not for Sir Jackal himself, then you should have been in the jail already for severe case of identity theft!"

"..."

"So, you better behave this time, for I will be watching your actions." Lord Gallius then spun on his place as he left the house.

Alina, who watched the banter between Alex and Lord Gallius impassively, looked at Alex as she said,

"Let’s go now."

"Ok..." Alex took a deep breath as he followed Alina.

Clint and his wife did not give any farewell to the two, as it was not needed.

Alex looked back at Clint one more time, before giving him another bow.

"Take care." Clint finally said as he let out a sigh. "You can go back here in the future. That is, if you still have the ability to do so at that time."

Alex gave Clint another bow before he left the house.

"Now that farewell sounds ominous." Alex thought to himself as he run after Alina.

"...."

"I really hope you can come back." Clint muttered to himself as he went towards his basement.

Booming sounds were then heard from the basement later, rattling everyone nearby.

They stopped in wonder and fear, as they could only imagine the things that could cause these fearsome sounds.

"If there is one thing that a technological world should have, it’s is obviously a cool flying ship." Asteria said as she flapped her hands around.

"And this ship we are in right now is a cool flying ship!"

"You already said those things for the 7th time. Sheesh, get a grip already!" Alex muttered to himself as he looked around him.

Right now, he was in an expensive-looking room filled with countless valuables furniture.

One might think that this is a part of a house, but the truth was that Alex was not inside a house right now.

Alex is currently riding a flying ship that is flying across the sky.

The ship itself had a sleek and aerodynamic design, but what made it better was its high-class accommodations inside.

There are countless rooms filled with velvety beds and its other amenities all seek to provide maximum comfort to its passengers.

With just one look, Alex knew that this whole ship was only meant for the extremely special and powerful people, and that Lord Gallius seems to be one of them.

"Well, what a way for him to show off." Alex muttered to himself as he fully recognized what Lord Gallius was doing.

He’s blatantly flaunting about his richness to Alina in order to impress her.

But that attempt of his has failed as Alex could see Alina ignoring Lord Gallius throughout the whole trip.

Needless to say, Lord Gallius was unhappy about this.

Alex could feel Lord Gallius’ piercing glares at his back, as if he was wishing that his eyes could bore a hole on Alex.

Alex of course ignored these glares as he continued on just staring outside.

As for Alina, she did not say anything as she just sat on her place, not showing any willingness to communicate.

It was only when Alex offered her food that she moved

But once the food was gone, Alina immediately went back on her stationary state.

"So, everything will just be like this until we reach our destination? I do not know if I can endure all this awkwardness..." Alex thought as he let out a sigh.

****************

At an unknown location.

Blue light could be seen spilling out everywhere, illuminating the walls of what could be said to be a room.

This room had the dimensions comparable to that of a typical house, only if the house was 100 meters tall, 100 meters wide, and 100 meters long.

There seems to be no human presence in the room, as only countless pieces of wire and machinery could be seen inside the room.

But as the blue light continued on illuminating the whole room, a shadow of a person could be seen hovering at the walls.

This shadow seemed to have a life as it moved horizontally across the wall, only stopping at the middle of the wall.

Of course this shadow was produced by a person, and this person was standing at the center of the room, with his shadow casted by the blue light.

Most of the features of this person seems unidentifiable with the current lighting in the room.

This person however, sported a large afro that is a very rare hairstyle these days.

This afro was swaying side to side as the person inspected the object placed in the center of the room.

All the blue lights inside the room were coming from this object, and from the looks of it, this object will not stop on emitting these blue lights for a long time.

"Victoria, show me the arriving guests later." The Afro person said as he looked at the object.

"Here is the video." A disembodied voice came out of the object, which sounded like the eeriest sound that a person could ever hear in their life.

Even the Afro person, who spent a long time with the object, still shivered imperceptibly when the object talked to him.

But now is not the time for the Afro person to complain about the object being creepy, as he focused on the video in front of him.

This video was being emitted by the blue object, and it shows a real-time coverage of Alex, Alina and Lord Gallius sitting awkwardly inside a room.

"There she is..." The Afro person muttered as he looked at the part of the video where Alina was shown.

It was hard to determine what the Afro person was thinking as he looked at Alina that intently.

"Victoria, is there any chances that a mishap on the WEO Headquarters will happen today?" The Afro person had asked this question every single day, just as a way for him to pass his time.

But the Afro person’s light-hearted intention was shattered into pieces as the object replied,

"There is a 100% chance of a mishap happening today. User is advised to stay indoors as it will be not safe."

"Oi, oi, oi... Why did the danger chose to appear now of all times..." The Afro person lamented to himself as he let out a yawn.

"Oi Victoria, tell me who will be in orchestrating this mishap."

"Sorry, but only people with Class Z clearance can ask this kind of questions." The object replied bluntly. "User has a Class SS Clearance, so your question cannot be answered."

"....." Upon realizing that he will get nothing from the object for now, the Afro person shook his head as he said,

"Victoria, stay in standby mode."

All the blue lights inside the room then dimmed as the Afro person left the room.

"Welp, its still the same now." The Afro person muttered to himself, obviously referring to the object that he was talking to earlier.

"There are still no signs of mental degradation, nor mental obscuration." The Afro said as he nodded his head.

"Conclusion: The machine is still fully functional." However, the Afro person seemed to be disappointed as he said these words.

It was as if the Afro person wanted something more to happen at the object.

"Security?" The Afro person suddenly whipped out his phone as he called someone with his phone.

"Em, what can we do sir?" The voice that replied sounded extremely hesitant and scared, as if talking to the Afro person is an extremely forboding and scary matter.

"I have received a warning that the WEO Headquarters will experience an upheaveal today." The Afro person then continued talking as he ignored the stunned silence on the receiving end.

"As such, I want your firm to send some of their best security personnel to guard this area. As for the other areas, I will just ask the other firms."

"You won’t regret this sir!" The voice on the phone replied as the voice sounded less tense and more high strung than before.

"Make sure that you do your jobs well. If not, then you will regret that you failed." The Afro person said as he closed the phone shut.

"Now that I have dealt with that, it is now time for my next scheduled meeting." The Afro person muttered to himself as he shimmered like a rainbow, before his body disappeared entirely.

This display might look and endearing and cute to children, but anyone who had seen rainbow colors before will tell you that these colors are the prelude to a nightmare.
