Chapter 2391 Return
Central Command, Pyramid.
"It took both of you a lot longer than initially expected," Said Grand Commander seeing the two people who had returned from the long mission, which lasted more than a year.
Initially, it was only supposed to last six months max.
"The things we were able to find out made us extend it," the woman on the right replied with the grave voice.
The central command is silent and a lot more empty than usual; there are only council members and the three Grand Lords, the projections of two joined just a few seconds.
"So, what is it you were able to find out?" asked Grand Commander. Their mission had been vague; it was to infiltrate the Grimm territory and find out the trump cards Grimm, something that could possess serious harm to the humans.
Hearing the question, the expressions of both women became grave, very grave. Nearly all the council and Grand Lord knew the woman on the right well, and they had never seen such expressions on her face.
"It is bad, extremely bad news," said the woman on the right and began to speak.
Every word she spoke made the expressions on their faces worse; it was not just a council but even the Grand Lords, who had experienced numerous wars in their centuries of existence, looked horrified.
It took more than an hour to explain everything in complete detail, and by the time they finished, the expressions on everyone had returned to normal, but horror in their eyes remained.
"How sure are you about this intelligence?" asked the Lord of Gla.s.s to his student, "Very sure; we have risked our lives multiple times to conform this intelligence through various means," She replied.
"Are you sure this intelligence isn"t planted by the enemy?" asked Patriarch Bradford, "We are 70% sure of the validity of this intelligence," the women replied.
"It is hard to believe Grimms could do this. If they had been able to do something like this before, we would have been defeated by the Grimms long ago," said lady Angela as she ma.s.saged her forehead.
"Do you able to find the reason how they would able to accomplish all that?" Lady Angela asked after a few seconds of silence.
"No, it seemed to be a very guarded secrete, and there is something strange involved in it. All those with knowledge of it seemed to be very fearful of this secret," She replied, sounding slightly unsure herself.
Her answer had surprised them, but they did not press further; they would do that later after they finished reading the report, which was extremely long.
"Vivian, Anna, you have taken greatly to collect this information, and for it, we couldn"t be more grateful for it," said Patriarch Bradford. "You two go rest; we will inform you when we make the decision," Added lord of gla.s.s.
Both women nodded and disappeared from the central command.
"I think the intelligence those two collected is true; a year ago, I was able to find out something, I did not believe that time, but now, it seemed like it was true," said the lord of gla.s.s.
The council looked a little confused by it, but the expressions of the other two Grand Lords had become even graver.
"This is the biggest threat we have ever faced, but we are not out of options," Said Patriarch, "One of them we came across just today," added, and a file appeared in hand, the same one that Micheal had distributed to council.
"Micheal Zaar"s proposal is already showing us some hope out of this extinction-level threat, and I personally think he might be able to accomplish it; a little faster if we provide some extra help," said Patriarch Bradford, bringing a smile to his face, which obviously looked forceful.
...
I watched my mentees disappear through the teleportation formation and couldn"t help but feel a little sad.
I wanted to spend some more time with them, guide them on some things, and ask them some questions but all I did was give them some resources I had specially prepared for them and some quick guidance on some important things.
All of it was finished within half an hour before I went back to my room; I wanted to spend some time with my father and sister, but the rose was sleeping, and my father was working.
As I took off my clothes and began to shower, my avatar was looking at the seeds that Leonard and Danielle had brought.
I had given them some investigative seeds, and they have returned full of information, especially about the Aqua Apeman and the Rock Bearman.
I walked out of the shower, wore clothes before bringing out the dinner, which my avatar had cooked for me when I was talking with Danielle and Leonard.
I ate dinner quickly before falling lying on my bed to sleep; one hour had already pa.s.sed, and I planned to sleep for three; that will leave me two hours for some family time and work.
With that thought, I had slept and woke up three hours later before even the first bell of the alarm could ring up.
Hun!
I walked out of bed and freshened up, and changed before stepping out of my room. I had just taken a few steps when I heard the loud crying sound of my sister, but the very next second, I heard another sound which froze me on my spot.
I remained frozen on my spot for a few seconds before I disappeared and appeared in the living room.
"Mom!" I said with a barely audible voice as I saw my mother holding my sister, who was bawling in her lap.
"Oh, Micheal, you woke up," She said as she continued to console my crying sister in her lap. "When did you return?" I asked as I appeared beside her and took her hand into mine.
"About two hours ago." She replied, "I didn"t want to wake you up since you barely get any sleep due to the program," She added apologetically.
"I have time now," I replied and sat beside her.
