Book 4: Chapter 20: Reunion Part I

The Logistics Council

-and so, in conclusion, we need to send more- the Class V support Guardian pauses when a screeching sound comes from one of the chairs around the large table as Allen shoots to his feet with his eyes wide in shock and glued to his terminal. The Guardian then narrows her eyes ever so slightly at him and says, Cipher, if youve got important intel, please share it with the group.

Allen immediately looks up from the terminal, having been too shocked by the message he had gotten from Sage to even consider his current location. But even now that hes considering it, he still wants to simply ignore her and rush out the door.

He doesnt though. Instead, he displays extreme patience as he says, The Scarlet Wolf is back in action!

Then he begins running out of the room while all of the Class IV and V Guardians in it express their shock at the news, with several of them looking rather interested in meeting her. But by the time most of them recover enough to ask questions, the man is already running down the hallway towards the entrance of the building.

Shes home!!!! Finally!!!

Allen rushes straight out of the building before waving his hand as he runs, creating a hoverboard made solely out of nanomachines that he jumps on and begins flying through the air towards his base. From there, it only takes him a few minutes to reach the base, following which he startles each of his Associations members that he passes by, only for some of them to show happy and knowing expressions. As if they know exactly what it is that has him so excited.

But Allen doesnt care about any of that. He just keeps running through his base until he reaches Scarlets old suite and pauses outside of the door, panting a little from the exertion that it took to get there so quickly. Then he hesitates for several seconds outside of the door, briefly reaching for the knob only to pull his hand back again. Reach for it, pull it back again.

Right when hes about to repeat the process once more, the hall around him begins frosting over and his wife appears next to him, practically pushing him out of the way as she opens the door and rushes into her suite.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Shit.

Allen quickly follows after her without a second thought before finding a surprised Scarlet being held in his wifes arms.

Then he pulls both of them into his arms, lifting the two of them up into the air himself as she exclaims, Youre back!

Never mind. She doesnt know all of Gramps skills, so she didnt know just how good his senses were.

Actually, most of humanity doesnt know just how powerful he is despite everyone recognizing that hes the strongest being in the universe.

A rather scary thought, to be honest.

Oh, right. One more thing to tell them.

After the Demon King learned about the prophecy and my Gradual Corruption Nullification skill, he gave an order to all of the demons to no longer target civilians and only target the Guardians, I tell them with a smile on my face, honestly proud of making that happen even if it was entirely due to the Demon Kings will and not my own.

None of them seem surprised by this.

I blink at that.

Why arent they surprised by this?

Its not exactly hard to figure out that youre the one responsible for your grandfathers sudden change in attitude, Tar comments. Especially when it happened soon after you went to Tartarus in the first place.

Oh. Yeah, I guess thats true.

I scratch my head a little.

Yeah, this is awkward now, but I think I at least broke them out of their stupor.
