Chapter 24 - Mysterious Man

Dhan's words are true, he will always be beside Aidan. However, it turned out that he could not last forever because Dhan died after he had a dispute with Vernandes about things that Aidan did not know at that time. Which in the end Aidan felt that he had no one else but Vernandes a few years ago.

And now, Aidan has grown up and he has grown into a handsome boy who has a kind heart and will be firm when needed. Aidan will always be on guard at the border area this year because Vernandes has already informed about their target to take over the unrighteous government that has oppressed its citizens like that.

"You've been doing well, Aidan… you can rest!" a word was thrown by Vernandes through the walkie-talkie that he is currently holding, Aidan exhaled slowly after hearing those words, he leaned back on the chair he was sitting in, and looked at the clock that was attached to his arm which then made Aidan also nodded his head in agreement with Vernandes as he said,

"Yes… thank you, Uncle. I will rest in the barracks." said Aidan to Vernandes. Aidan walked tiredly and then lay down on the mattress in the barracks that had been provided at the border at that time.

Aidan was silent and stared at the ceiling of the barracks, the situation inside the barracks at that time was very quiet. There was no one there except Aidan who was lying down tiredly.

Aidan who was on the bed looked to the side which made him suddenly feel a feeling of longing in his heart. He misses those close to him who is no longer in this world.

"I want a friend…" Aidan mumbled to himself, he whispered as if he was a very lonely child right now. Even though Vernandes and the Devil Rebel followers were around him, he still felt lonely in the crowd. It was as if there was a void that no one else could fill by his side at this time.

Krssskkkk!!

"Report!! There is someone who appears and disappears suddenly at district seventy-fifth, once again… Objects appear and disappear at district seventy-fifth very quickly!"

Krrrrssskkkk!!

Aidan, who was dreaming at the time, now frowned upon hearing the report. He quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie lying on the side of his bed, Aidan tried to listen to the broadcast that was being reported by the security team at district seventy-five which at that time was probably by unintentionally broadcast his report to everyone at this time.

Aidan's brow furrowed when he heard the report that seemed odd to him, which in the end made Aidan mutter softly, "An object that appears and disappears suddenly?? What object is that??" That was the question Aidan mumbled to himself.

Krrrssskkkk!!

"Someone appeared at district ten and disappeared again, once again the object approached the base and appeared at district ten and disappeared again!!" Aidan heard another report on the walkie-talkie.

Krssskkkk!!!

"What?!!" Aidan was very surprised after he heard that the object that had disappeared had now appeared at the closest district from the base, namely at district ten, which of course made Aidan curious about the object he didn't know what it looked like at that time.

Krrrsss!!

DARR!!!

A gunshot that was released made Aidan startled until he got up from his sleeping position at that time, Aidan turned his head to stare at the walkie-talkie that was no longer on, which then made Aidan quickly get out of the barracks to stare at the district ten that is located. quite a distance from him right now, as he was at district seven, which was the border closest to the base.

BUM!!!!

An explosion occurred at district nine which of course made Aidan surprised by an explosion that occurred at district nine which is the central monitoring office.

Krrrssskk!!!

"MEDICAL!! We need medical urgently!!! Many people are injured here!"

Krrrssskkkk!!!

Aidan was stunned, he seemed unable to digest the words he heard from the walkie-talkie which was now lying under Aidan's feet because it had previously fallen from Aidan's grasp at this time.

Krrrssskkkk!!!

"Aidan!! Aidan!!! Aidan!!!!!"

The call that sounded in Aidan's ear also made him realize, which then made Aidan immediately run towards the central monitoring office which was one district ahead as fast as he could.

"Hah…. hahhh… hahhh…" Aidan took a deep breath as he ran very fast at that time, running was something he found very tiring. Aidan's eyes narrowed when he reached the ninth district and tried to find injured people among the rubble, the scattered dust and darkness of the night became an obstacle for Aidan who wanted to help people.

Aidan's eyes widened when he found the people who were guarding the district ninth all lying limply which made him immediately approach one of those closest to him.

Aidan immediately tried to heal the person with the healing he had, a light that wasn't too bright appeared from both of Aidan's hands at that time, and slowly the man he was treating was healed. But at the same time, a bullet shot and directly hit the head of the man who was being handled by Aidan, which made Aidan immediately turn his head to look behind him.

"..."

Aidan who was surprised quickly turned to look behind where a man who was unfamiliar to him, the man with tan skin and American style hair, and the gaze of the two piercing eyes that were now staring right at him. This of course made Aidan surprised and moved from his place, looking at the man quite wary.

"Who are you?!" Aidan asked in a high enough tone to the man who now approached him and immediately grabbed Aidan's arm quite firmly, which of course surprised Aidan.

"Follow me!" Take the man to Aidan, who is now quickly kicking the man with enough force that the man's grip on him is released because the man is in pain and winces.

"Who are you?!!! Were you assigned by the government to kill us?!" Aidan asked by shouting at the man who was now grimacing and then standing up straight, trying to endure the pain of the kick that Aidan had given him.

"I'm not from the government." The man replied to Aidan who was now frowning and then asked again,

"Then what did you do to them? Why did you hurt my friends?? Who are you?!" Aidan asked back to the man who was now chuckling, which made Aidan feel annoyed, and immediately approached one of the heads of the team at district nine at that time. He was just about to heal him, but the words from the man-made Aidan quite annoyed to hear it.

"It's useless for you to heal them, they're all dead!!" And that was what the man said that made Aidan now glance at a weapon in the team leader's pocket which in the end made Aidan quickly take the weapon that was there and immediately shoot a foreign man he did not recognize in front of him.

DARR!!! DARR!!! DAR!!!

"!!!" Aidan's body jolted when he realized that the man had disappeared, and quickly appeared beside him. The man immediately grabbed the weapon that was in Aidan's hand and turned to point a gun at Aidan who was silent, surprised to realize it.

"Don't act so much or I'll kill you like I killed them all!" The threat was hurled by the man-made Aidan silent, but he did not stop speaking as if speaking was not forbidden by the man at this time.

"What do you want?!" Aidan asked the man who was now exhaling. Then the man answered his question,

"You."

The answer that the man gave, of course, made Aidan feel confused. But one second later Aidan realized that the man was now targeting him and deliberately provoked him to come to this base.

"I don't have anything, what do you want me for?!" Aidan asked which made the man now walking towards him and then said,

"You know what I want too, Aidan." Said the man who again silenced Aidan, who now felt that he was in a very critical situation.

….

Aidan fell silent as the man lowered the weapon he was currently holding, and then grabbed the surprised Aidan's arm. Aidan felt he had to remain vigilant about what a stranger who had power that was quite shocking for him at this time would do.

"You come with me now, so you can understand why I want you right now." The man said which of course made Aidan feel that this man would trap him.

"Where are we going?!" Aidan asked with a little fear in himself, while the man now exhaled at the question and turned his head to look at Aidan quite sharply, as if from his gaze he gave an order that Aidan just had to follow him and he would understand afterward.

However, Aidan was not an easy person to threaten like that. With all his might Aidan defended from his footing when the man was about to take him away from the current ninth point.

"Aidan!" Call the man to Aidan who is still stealing his body trying to restrain the man who was about to take him away. At the same time, the strange man looked around, finding a lot of people coming from a distance with weapons with them, which made the man realize that Aidan was biding his time right now. In the end, the man had no other choice but to take Aidan using his teleportation powers.

Shuut!!

And they both disappeared from the ninth point which was already ravaged at that time.
