Chapter 917 Your Fault!
The Links of Loyalty with Zeke and Kaleb were completed. The Links were weak, but that was expected from newly established Links of Loyalty, which had been forced without the other parties' acknowledgment. It only worked because Zeke and Kaleb trusted him and probably because they were in a stasis-like state.
Michael manifested the Runic Gate before him and retrieved two of the hundreds of Teleportation Tokens he'd accumulated over the last few years. The Teleportation Tokens weren't Platinum grade, but that wasn't necessary. He pocketed them in Kaleb's and Zeke's jackets and picked them up. Finally, Michael stepped through the Runic Gate carrying his friends.
The Teleportation Tokens broke as he stepped through the Runic Gate, but the teleportation worked. Both Kaleb and Zeke appeared in the Untamed Jungle.
He teleported to the wooden manor, where he put down his friends. His eyes landed on the staff eying him in awe and curiosity.
"Give them one of the rooms next to mine. Make sure someone is tending to them at all times. Inform me before the healing serum is used up. I don't want them to wake up and the Blood Incursion to affect them!" Michael commanded one of his attendants. The young attendant fled with hurried strides to prepare everything.
Michael used the last bits of River of Vigor's healing serum on his friends before again manifesting the Runic Gate. He returned to the war zone, where he used the Rescue Token given by Selena and the others. Clearus couldn't be saved anymore and wasn't willing to anchor his Runic Gate to a planet bound to be lost to the Supreme Human Alliance. Michael crushed the Rescue Token and was teleported back to the Nest, where he was already awaited. Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
"What the hell did you do?" Fera cursed Michael when he appeared in the teleportation chamber.
Michael noticed that he wasn't alone with Fera. The Nest Leader, Hesta, and Eren were also present.
"I don't know what you're talking about." "You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Fera stepped forward, her eyes glowing as a flood of curse power surged out of her. A primal roar and a resounding hiss escaped Michael's lips as Fera approached him threateningly. Michael's muscles bulged, and his eyes glowed dangerously.
"And what do you think?" Michael thus asked Selena.
She lifted an eyebrow and looked back at Michael.
"I cannot really condemn you for doing what you did because you announced it early enough, but the timing was unfortunate. They must have expected some members of the Nest and prepared the first attack to move the City Guards. The remaining Numbers moved once the Nest members were forced to leave the Galactical Plaza. That was smart of them. It was probably not within their calculations that you wouldn't go with the City Guards, but that didn't matter at the end of the day. It doesn't change whether you went with Hesta to explain the situation to the Defense Ministers or utilized hours trying to rescue your friend." Eren nodded, "I don't condemn you either. If anything, it's good you got one of your friends back...However, it is not easy to break whatever the Supreme Human Alliance did to them." "I got two back, not just one," Michael said with a smile, explaining everything in detail. Selena and Eren's eyes widened at some point, and they looked at each other.
"It makes sense why the SHA hates us so much. We are their natural enemies. I should have expected that. Especially their hatred and fear toward me," Selena smiled, but it wasn't a nice smile. She looked like a predator ready to burn down the Supreme Human Alliance.
Michael nodded slowly.
"If that's all, I would like to leave. I have a few Numbers to extract."
The Nest Leader waved at him dismissively.
"Just go. Either way, I cannot keep you here even if I want to."
Michael smiled and manifested the Runic Gate before him.
He reverted to the Origin Expanse, where he could withdraw the Numbers in silence.
