Chapter 969: Reaching A Peaceful Resolution
While this was happening, David, who had walked off the plane after being ordered by Alex, noticed their last combatant had arrived as well.
She was already all over Ri-Chu, her exuberant side making him all sorts of uncomfortable, but the boy didn't attempt to push her back, accepting things as they were.
"Alright, you two. Calm down or get a room. We have an expedition to plan," David dropped, making a disgusted face.
He couldn't care less if they wanted to be all over each other, but it could wait until after they accomplished what they were here for.
Jin-Sil, who most of them knew as Athena, gave him a stink eye, refusing to let go of Ri-Chu's arm and pulling her tongue at him.
David started gathering his thoughts, getting ready to do his hunting briefing off of memory, when he felt a small surge of mana coming from the aircraft behind him.
With a sigh, he looked at the plane from the corner of his eye, turning his head a bit, and murmured, "How many people are you going to tell our secret to, before it's time for the world to know..."Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
He knew Alex wasn't doing this to hinder their anonymity, but it could still backfire on them.
If he ever told someone who was so shut off to the unknown, they could end up trying to tell the world about it, and mass panic could very much ensue. Imagine the panic of a new kind of powered humans suddenly being all over the news.
Even if they had done this on a smaller scale in Montreal, it didn't mean the world was ready to hear about it yet.
Proof of this lay in the fact the world governments had yet to make a statement about it; almost like they were waiting for something.
'Last time, they waited until they had some awakened people of their own who could stop the ones wreaking havoc and the monsters with ease. Are they going to wait that long again?'
But as his thoughts stray to this subject, David snapped back to reality when Alex came out of the plane, soon followed by the pilot. Her face was no longer the mask of arrogance and anger it had been a couple of minutes ago.
Clapping his hands to gather attention, Alex quickly became the center of it.
"Alright, everyone. Major Schrute has an announcement to make, and I would like everyone to pay attention, please."
Feeling the gazes of the twelve powered individuals turn on her, all of which Alex had assured her could quickly snuff her out, Carol gulped nervously.
A light wave of laughter spread across the others as they all silently accepted her apology.
*Clap clap*
The sound of clapping brought everyone's attention back to Alex again.
"Alright. With this matter aside, I believe we can go back to the cargo hold and do our briefing away from prying eyes now?" Alex asked, looking at the woman.
"Of course. Here, let me open the drop door for you," Carol replied, climbing into the aircraft swiftly.
And not a moment later, a loud rumbling echoed, before a mechanical whine reverberated across the area, the back of the airplane suddenly cracking open.
Alex looked at this with a smile.
Kary walked up to him, grabbing his arm slowly.
"You know, she would have had to open the door anyway, since the people in the hangar were waiting to unload our gear. But the intention behind it is refreshing, to say the least," she
said, giggling a bit.
"Yeah, I guess she needed a little push to realize we are not only were her bosses but also not just some rich kids using their money to travel the world on a private jet. Go figure," he
chuckled.
Kary rose an eyebrow at him.
"But isn't that what we are doing?" she asked mockingly.
"Hah! I wish."
As the drop door gently rested against the ground, David walked past the couple, smiling.
"Let's get this meeting started, shall we? There is much to discuss."
