Novel Bin Chapter 209 - SOMETHING GIDDY
THERE were a hundred, no, a thousand of things that went through Wulfric\'s mind when he heard that. In a matter of millisecond, it all became jumbled up and he couldn\'t make heads or tails of it. But even so, he still found himself saying;
"He can. Tell him to come quickly." Then, as if realizing that his phrasing was a bit forceful, he cleared his throat and added, "I mean, it would be better for him to go here quickly since I still have a schedule after this."
Slade gave his captain a meaningful glance. What schedule? He was there when the other complained to Leland that he needed a break after spending a week training kids. And now that same captain was saying that he had a schedule after this? It was so obvious that he only said that to cover up his too enthusiastic response at the beginning.
The real question here was, who was this \'brother\' the captain and the kid were talking about?
If Slade could think it, of course, Reas could also tell that the latter part of what the other said was just pure nonsense. He resisted the urge to call the general in his bullshit and just nodded. He still didn\'t know what kind of situation his brother was in. So, the faster he got here, the better.
He walked a bit further from the two and then video called Astrid. The line instantly connected and his brother\'s face appeared on the screen.
"Did the prince agree?" Astrid asked immediately.
Reas nodded in response. Although Astrid had already expected such an answer, he still let out a sigh of relief. Because if Wulfric wasn\'t there, things would be a lot more complicated.
After all, he technically assaulted two people using his mental power. Even though those people were kidnappers attempting to kill someone, it would still be such a hassle to deal with the aftermath. At least with Wulfric\'s involvement, this incident would definitely not be connected to him.
He smiled inwardly. Maybe that\'s the reason why he didn\'t hesitate to start all this despite the possible consequence was because at the back of his mind he knew that Wulfric would help him. Now he felt a bit guilty. It\'s like taking advantage of someone. Maybe he should do something in return as a payback.
He shook his head. No, he shouldn\'t get ahead of himself. He would think back on it once everything was settled.
"That\'s good," he said. "I\'m already near the military academy. Can I park somewhere with as few people as possible?"
Before Reas could answer, he felt somebody standing beside him. And that \'somebody\' answered his brother\'s question.
"Park the car at the parking lot near the west entrance. Don\'t worry about being stopped. I will handle it. Just tell me the license plate number of the car you\'re driving."
Reas glanced at the general who suddenly appeared beside him. He didn\'t even feel the other\'s presence until he spoke. Even more, he didn\'t hear his footsteps. Almost as if he flew from where he was standing to here. Just when did he walk up to here?
Astrid was also equally surprised. He didn\'t expect that Wulfric would suddenly appear during this video call. Although he should have probably expected it in a way. Because if Wulfric was anywhere near Reas when he video called, then, suddenly cutting in between their conversation was definitely something he would do.
Wulfric was trying his best to not show any emotions on his face. But deep inside, something giddy was bubbling up. It\'s like his heart was suddenly full for no reason and he couldn\'t contain the happiness he\'s feeling. It was an emotion unknown to him. But he didn\'t hate it. In fact, it was even accompanied by some sort of enthusiasm. As if he couldn\'t wait to welcome this feeling again and again.
All of this just because he saw Aster\'s face again.
With just that, one would think that the other had some kind of power over him. And maybe he did. Not that he\'s complaining.
It hadn\'t even been that long since he last saw him and yet he couldn\'t wait to see him face to face. Not through his photos in [Cyberspace] or through a virtual screen, but them facing each other. Seeing those black eyes staring at him up close, no number of photos would beat that.
He heard Aster speaking. He almost missed the license plate number he said because he was busy staring at the other\'s beautiful face. It\'s a good thing that he had SSS level mental strength or his brain would probably not be able to catch those numbers.
After that, Aster ended the call.
Wulfric then glanced back at Slade and told him to contact the security of the academy. To tell them to let the car with the license plate number Aster mentioned through. And that they shouldn\'t even try to check it.
Slade was already feeling a whole new level of confusion. From the moment the captain suddenly rushed towards the kid to cut in between the conversation between the other and this \'brother\' to the captain telling him to do what he said just now. He couldn\'t understand these sets of actions.
But he still did as he was told. When he was done with that, he turned to the captain.
"Captain, is Townsend\'s brother some kind of special guest?" he asked in his languid voice.
Reas also turned to the general when he heard that question.
It didn\'t take long for Wulfric to answer. In fact, he didn\'t even need to think just too much. He just said the first thing that came to his mind. "He\'s more than that."
Both Slade and Reas were surprised hearing such an answer.
At that moment, Reas actually wanted to ask the general just what was his intention towards his brother.. But before he could do that, he saw a car slowly descending from the sky.
