Chapter 18: Unescapable Grasp

"Oh yes!" The familiar voice rang out as Hale looked at Captain Aliea, who slowly took off the cap she was wearing with a sinister smirk and started the car before immediately driving off.

Trying to quickly kick open the door, what he felt was an intense pain in his foot and the door didn't even bulge at all...

"Why the craziness? It's not like I'm a monster or something..." Captain Aliea said, this time her voice returning to a strange feminine form from the previous masculine one...

"Yes. You really aren't a monster that flung me down from the 72nd floor of a castle..." Hale roared out as he moved as far away as possible from the monster, just around 7 centimeters...

"That's not a castle, you silly, that's a skyscraper. Where do you even come from?" Captain Aliea said with mockery, but Hale didn't let his guard down at all...

"And also, I expected you to have fused with your first core or else you wouldn't be worthy of partaking in the mission in the first place. So, you're the one who has a lot to explain to me if you think about it..." Captain Aliea said as Hale looked at her with furrowed eyebrows before sighing...

"Ah. To avoid more harm, then I really should tell you something so you don't accidentally kill me..." Hale said as Captain Aliea smirked...

"Or don't tell me there's no rule for killing in this place..." Hale asked just to be sure if he was at least relatively safe.

"Of course there is, you dummy. The relationship between me and you is that of a captain to a lesser teammate, so if I kill you, which would be no doubt accidentally, and it is not on a mission, I will get my captain rank demoted. Yeah, that is the maximum punishment that would be given..." She said as Hale's heart dropped to the bottom of his chest.

That is the most stupid thing he had heard in two worlds. Back in the Winterfall Dynasty, if the highest rank, say a royal, killed a commoner, then he would be forever wiped out of his royal status with his entire bloodline, and then he would be sentenced to at least ten years in the dungeon, based on how serious the issue was.

And all this monster would get is a simple demotion, that could be gained back after years of working hard?

"Yes. It sounds stupid. But it's the truth..." Hale replied as he looked out through the windows, seeing everything rapidly shuffle past him...

But a hand grabbed onto his chin as he found his eyes colliding with another pair of blue eyes.

"Are you really speaking the truth?" Captain Aliea said, this time with another level of seriousness.

"Yes. I am.." Hale also replied seriously...

"Wow! And can you tell me more about your village? Perhaps I can find a sector that seems to be where you possibly come from..."

"Hmm, well, my village doesn't have these cars, nor those metallic guns, nor those tall skyscrapers. And also it snows all the time. I have never seen such a bright sun before..." Hale mused out as he looked dazedly at the sun.

Atheria was a world perpetually enshrined in four weather conditions shared in four dynasties. The Winterfall Dynasty was just as the name suggested, winter, and that was all Hale had ever seen. The snow. He had never seen other weather conditions before since his birth...

And seeing such clear sun right now gave him a much greater euphoria, or say a feeling of much greater satisfaction.

It was ten thousand times better than reading it in those strange rusty books...
