"Release them!"
"But..." The commander frowned, not expecting the mayor would release them, especially after 'interrogating' Nathan personally. He couldn't help but wonder if the mayor had been bribed or threatened by him.
"Are you the mayor? Are you trying to rebel?"
The commander bit his lips, having no other choice but to release them.
"Including all the servants."
The commander could only follow his order, even though it was annoying.
They all went out together as Nathan made sure everyone's safety and condition.
Even Anubis checked whether they needed some healing or not. Once they left the prison, Nathan said to the head butler and maid. "Both of you. Please lead everyone back to the mansion. Since all of you are local, you should understand what's currently happening in this city.
"That's why I want you to return to the mansion. As for the damage, I will take care of them, so you don't have to worry about being scolded or fired by my master."
"Will whatever it is return?" The head butler asked.
"Because of the failure last night, it was unlikely for the enemy to attack the mansion again. It could be said that the mansion and other places that had been attacked by them are the safest spots in this city right now. However, I can promise you that everything will end in two days. Just tell your family to remain inside their houses before dusk. They will be fine."
They didn't understand much about it, but they still knew Nathan had such an ability. Hence, they bowed their heads and obeyed Nathan's instruction, feeling a bit assured.
After that, Nathan turned to Selena and Serafina.
"As you can see, the situation in the city is quite concerning right now. This is the mission that the principal has asked us prior. And I will need both of you to return to the mansion right now."
"I might. Who knows?" Nathan chuckled.
"What if Evelyn wants to level a world? Will you do it for the sake of love?"
"Destroying the world sounds much easier than getting her heart, don't you think?"
"Pfft!" Bella couldn't contain her laugh. "You're truly the best. So, what do you want me to do? You can expect me to do anything for you if we can catch the culprit alive. Since there are three enemies, I guess we have to split up into three groups as well.
"In other words, I will fight the strongest one while you handle the alien or the familiar. Those two girls will handle the rest."
Nathan shook his head. "No. There are only two enemies, the summoner and its master. If we are talking about the screeching sound, I assume the alien has evolved so much that they are able to retain the vocal cord.
"However, that's not the problem right now. If we can capture them, we will be able to learn more about them. Does Neyeid have an important artifact or something? One that can be used for summoning." Nathan asked.
"An artifact, huh?" Bella pondered for a moment. "I don't know if Neyeid has one, but I can ask Evelyn for an artifact. Are you going to use it to summon your fourth familiar?"
"Of course not. Neyeid is famous, right?"
"Indeed. Even though he doesn't look like it, his family is rich, and he also has a big merchant group. Our funds are usually taken care of by him."
"All I want is for him to announce that he will bring the item and make it as grand as possible. If possible, make it look like I'm utilizing my teacher's influence to get that item and want to summon my fourth familiar."
Instead of asking the reason, Bella only nodded her head. "Alright. I can ask him to do it. Anything else?"
"The portal will be destroyed pretty soon, so Neyeid will send the item from the north. Tell the captain to prepare in case they send reinforcement. And I want you to go to the west gate and monitor that area. The mansion is in the south, so I will take care of that side.
"Just let me take care of this as quickly as possible and let me have a peaceful time for a while." Nathan sighed.
