Chapter 576 Time Constraints and Travel Arrangements



Chapter 576 Time Constraints and Travel Arrangements

Azzy had so much going on in his life that he forgot about his challenge with that celestial elf.

Now that he is on an important case, he was reluctant to leave.

Hence, he asked, "Milord, the battle is on the day after tomorrow, correct? May I request to leave tomorrow evening?"

"Not possible, Mr. Garcia," the elven messenger answered him instead of Vesyrn. As Azzy looked at him, the elf went on to explain, "It's a tradition of Elves to invite our challengers to our home a day prior to the battle and serve him with our utmost hospitality so that he goes to the battle in his peak state, both physically and mentally."

"Then, we will leave by dawn," said Azzy, hoping for the elf to accept.

However, the elven messenger rejected that idea too. "Not possible. The day and night are slightly different in our homeland. The time of dawn for you people is the time of lunch for us. And unlike in this place, our homeland is more in sync with the material world. So, it will already be midnight by the time we reach there."

Azzy felt the urge to punch him but he controlled his emotions to the core and acted in a calm manner, "Alright, we will leave at 6 p.m. You shouldn't have any problem with this arrangement, right?"

The elven messenger nodded, "That's right."

Azzy then looked back at his father, "Milord, if you excuse me, I would go and make preparations for my journey."

Vesyrn nodded. "Go on."

Azzy slowly walked away and stepped outside. After leaving the clan village, he quickly got to the portal point to travel to Emerald City in Arcana world and then traveled back to Gaia through the world portal, this time to Northern Qudour's Ecrin City.

From there, he flew to the ghost town located in the mountains and entered the pocket world of his alien friend, Dr. Mac.

Just like always, he found her quite busy with something. At the moment, she appeared to be speaking with the avatar of Fallen Angel Berith.

He waited outside until she was done and then surprised her with his presence.

Both of them went back to the control room after he told her his plan.

Dr. Mac was ready to assist him and quickly got to work, taking control of the satellites of all the nations.

Somewhere in the nation of Llyne, Aaron was in front of his computer and was chatting with some people in the group who are also using their designated codenames

Mosquito 09 (Aaron): Has WAMO taken the decision yet? What are the odds of fulfilling our demands?

Dragon 00: According to my sources, the execution is going to be postponed for now.

Orca 60: Those officers were breathing down our necks. It is tough to get their eyes off our backs. For the moment, you are on your own, Mosquito.

Mosquito 09 (Aaron): Nothing to worry about. Until now, we only pressed WAMO. From this moment, we will focus on pressuring the parents of the hostages.

Pegasus 26: What the fu*k

Mosquito 09 (Aaron): ???

Dragon 00: ???

Orca 60: Sh*t

Platypus 71: F**k

As Aaron wondered what the heck is going on with the board directors of Arc, the second most influential director in the company shed light on the matter.

Alligator 04: Switch on televisions. All the channels were displaying something.

A moment later;

Elephant 38: O' boy. Mosquito, you are fuc*ed up.

Mosquito 09: What is it?

A photograph was shared in the chatroom. It wasn't exactly what you call a high-quality picture but it is enough for Aaron to understand what's going on.

The image contains a photograph of Maria and a message. It states, "Your sister is with us. I give you one hour to come to the place where her hideout was supposed to be. I'll be waiting. If you don't come by the time this timer hits zero, she dies."

Below the message has a countdown timer of 60 minutes. 

The entire world was taken by storm in just that instant. No tv channel is working in any country. The white hat hackers or the ethical hackers working for governments went to work but they couldn't get back the control. 

Even WAMO found itself in a helpless situation but Kruger felt like Azzy was involved somehow as Maria is involved in this abduction case. The question is whether he should question Azzy just based on assumption or not. 

Meanwhile, Aaron logged out of the chat room without any hesitation or bothering about how it could be a trap. Wearing a mask and hood, he rushed to Emerald City. 

As for how he went undetected completely, he used illusions on everyone he encountered on the way. The satellites of Llyne's government that are now under the control of Dr. Mac, though have managed to track him down.

By the time Aaron got to the caves of Eldnirg, Azzy already reached there and waiting for him.

The white-haired fellow saw dozens of corpses on the way and his suspicions only increased further. And at the end of his path, his eyes spotted the familiar teenage-looking troublesome fellow who had Maria kneeling beside him in sadness.

Aaron's steps slowed down as he approached Azzy. 

"Brother," Maria let out a cry for help.

Azzy raised his hand, gesturing for Aaron to stop. As he halted his footsteps, Azzy spoke after wiping off his smile, "Well, let's talk."

A couple of hours later at Garcia Palace;

"No, I'll go with Chuckie," firmly said the three-year-old little girl, not letting go of Azzy's leg.

Her manipulation of gravitational force was at its best and Azzy felt as if he was standing on top of Violet Pavilion's training ground. Nevertheless, he was fine.

"Affy, don't be stubborn. You can't go there. It is too dangerous," Izora was stern with her daughter. Meanwhile, Vesyrn didn't know what to do. He helplessly stood on the side as he failed to convince his daughter.

"No, I will go. Chuckie will protect me," replied the little girl. She further added, "Mama never let me out of this village."

"Azzy, tell her." As Izora exploded in anger, Azzy let out a sigh and knelt down to his sister's height. 

Looking straight into the eyes of little Affea, he said, "Affy, Mom is right. Here, the entire village is there to protect you. But, once we step outside, the situation will be different. If your powers are exposed now, then, later on, when you go outside without me or any pavilion master, you will be targeted. It's for your safety."

He hoped for his sister to understand the graveness of the situation but little Affea is just 3 years old. It would be too much for him to even expect her to under the consequences or listen to his advice.

The stubborn little princess of the Death Clan puffed her cheeks with fat tear drops filling her eyes, "No one supports me. I hate you all."

As she shouted, her powers went out of control, increasing the gravity in her 10-meter surroundings to over 70 times the original gravity, almost forcing Izora to her knees.

The palace suddenly started shaking but it withstood the impact of change in the gravitational force, but not for the servants who are in the affected area on the above floors. They collapsed to the floor immediately. Some threw up blood and fainted in just a one-second span of time. Fortunately, no one died.

Azzy quickly acted by creating a natural energy barrier around her, negating the effects of gravity outside of the barrier and freeing the pressure on his parents at the same time.

He then proceeded to hug her and said, "Fine, you win. We are going together. Now, calm down, little devil."
