Chapter 27 - Help The Hostages

Shut!!!

Lucas then brought Aidan to the place where the hostages were which made Aidan's eyes widen when he saw the many corpses lying on the floor as well as the unkempt skinny people in that place, who looked very sick. And seeing that made Aidan without having to be ordered to immediately walk up to the sick and injured people one by one, which then made him treat them all with his abilities. Seeing the actions taken by Aidan to the Devil Rebel hostages made Lucas realize that Aidan did not know or even the same as the gang. Lucas was one hundred percent sure that Aidan had been used by the leader of the gang.

…

"Who are they? Why are they in this condition?" That was the question asked by Aidan, who at that time was busy healing several injured children, a question that made Lucas who was standing beside him glance at the busy man.

After a long silence, Lucas finally started to speak, "Would you believe what I said if I said that they were all prisoners??" Lucas didn't answer Aidan's question, instead, he gave the man a question.

Aidan, who had just finished creating one of the children in front of him, immediately turned his back to look at Lucas who was standing beside him at this time and glanced at him with the corner of his eye.

"Prisoner?" Aidan who was surprised by what Lucas had just said he asked again, making sure that his hearing was not wrong. While Lucas who was in front of him only gave a nod of his head confirming the question.

Aidan frowned and looked back at the people in the room who now looked a little better than before, "They are prisoners of the plot against the government, Devil Rebel." And the words that Lucas just said succeeded in making Aidan surprised, he looked back at the strange man beside him. Aidan never knew that his group had captives, even in such dire conditions.

"What?!" Aidan asked in surprise, and at the same time, an alarm suddenly sounded loud. The sound of the alarm also made the prisoners in the place scream hysterically, frightened, and ran over to Lucas and Aidan who were standing in the corner of the place.

"Get us out of here!",

"Please! Please help us!" These words were said simultaneously by the prisoners to Lucas who frowned at the words that were not very audible, he who saw how panicked they were when they heard the sound of the alarm decided to ask.

Lucas approached one of the captives and asked him, "What's wrong? What is this sound?" Lucas asked the prisoner, but the prisoner didn't answer and still looked panicked. while Aidan, who already knew about the alarm, immediately walked over to Lucas to tell him about the alarm that was now ringing.

"Vernandes! This bell signals that Vernanders will come to this region in the near future." Aidan explained to Lucas who could now see if there was a sense of confusion whipping up inside Aidan. The man seemed to believe and not believe what was happening now, and he still looked confused at this time.

"Aidan? Aidan!" Lucas called Aidan repeatedly when the man didn't respond to him. And when the third call that Lucas threw at him. Successfully making Aidan realize, he turned to Lucas who was now holding the arms of the captives who were holding hands and were gathering in that place at this time.

"We have to get them free first, and then we can find out the truth about all of this!" Lucas said to Aidan who was now frowning, feeling suspicious of hearing those words.

"What if it turns out you framed me? What if these people are messengers from the government to kill us?" Aidan asked Lucas who then exhaled hearing all of Aidan's suspicions about him.

"Are you an idiot?! How could the government involve children as well as elderly people to fight, huh?" The question that Lucas said at that time succeeded in making Aidan feel slapped. He finally realized what really happened.

Aidan looked at Lucas and nodded his head, he then walked over to one of the prisoners and grabbed Lucas' hand. Lucas who saw that they were all holding hands finally snapped his fingers. Instantly they all disappeared from that place in just an instant.

Whoosh!

In a wide field, with a cold morning breeze that blows against everything around it, making the group of people who just suddenly stood there at that moment feel shocked. They all opened their eyes and saw how beautiful this region was.

Shut up!!

"This is the territory at the end of the Country, I want all of you to rest here and stay in this area first… We will ask the government for help to pick you up at this place! And since this is one of the safest places, then all of you need not worry." All the prisoners nodded their heads at the words Lucas gave them. They all trusted the man they had just met because Lucas had saved them according to what he had told them earlier.

"Thank you, young man… We are very grateful that you saved our lives and asked the government for help!" said one of the prisoners to Lucas who then nodded his head and smiled at the person.

The prisoners also chose to sit in a place and rest there while talking to each other.

After saying that, Lucas turned to Aidan who was standing quite far from them who also turned out to be staring at him. Lucas decided to approach the man, who was the same person as him.

"So what's the truth you're about to say?" The question that Aidan gave to Lucas made Lucas exhale and ask the man again.

"Don't you realize that you have been used by your leader all this time?" And that question also certainly made Aidan feel angry, while Lucas had already guessed if this was bound to happen, Aidan must have felt angry at the question he just asked.

"What are you saying? Don't just talk! What do you know about Vernandes, and about me huh?!" Aidan asked Lucas in a rising voice. But Lucas, who had just been snapped, just pointed at all the people he had just saved who were currently sitting and clustered quite a distance from where they were.

"About those captives?? What would you say about them?" Lucas asked back to Aidan who was now silent and thought what Vernandes might do.
