Chapter 336 336. The Professor’s "Mom"
"Mom." Was the only word that left the Professor's mouth while watching the lady in gold clad outfit walk slowly towards him.
The entire battlefield made way for the duo to walk without interruption, reaching nearer to the Professor's army.
Once they were near, the commander ordered the army to make way for the same.
The man walking beside the woman suddenly stopped, making the woman pause as well.
"My role ends here. I was grateful to meet you, lady Amyra. Thank you for accepting my last minute request and saving a million lives." The man said, his blue eyes filled with nothing but contentment.
"I should be the one thanking you. If not for you and Satan, I wouldn't have made my decision of returning back. I am sorry for putting you all through so much pain and grief that my son has inflicted on you all. Thank you, Aaron." The lady said before giving an understanding nod and turning ahead.
Meanwhile Aaron, who had stopped at his position immediately started searching for Markus, hoping he wasn't late and everyone was safe.
Markus, understanding Aaron's searching gaze, immediately climbed down the tree, before walking ahead, knowing no one could dare to attack him without the Professor's order and the professor was definitely not in the position to order something similar when his long lost mother had finally appeared before him.
"Is everyone safe?" Aaron asked in a worried tone while his main worry was directed towards none other than Kizy, though he was trying to remain nonchalant about her situation.
"I wished I could say yes." Markus said a few words, but the weight his tone carried was way more than that.
Joel was in grave condition, Nicole was still unconscious and pale, Victor was missing and he had no news from Jason nor Kizy. Was everyone safe? No he didn't knew. And now that everything was quite, he suddenly couldn't help but blame himself fpr being a terrible leader, a bad friend and the worst husband and father. 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦
"Don't worry. Everything will be alright." Joel placed a hand on Markus's shoulder, trying to reassure him when he himself wasn't much aware of the current situation.
If somebody would have told him a year or two ago that he would be witnessing a day, standing alongside Markus on the same side, he might have beaten the crap out of that person. But today he did, standing in front of the Professor as Markus's ally.
"And Kizy will be fine as well." Aaron spoke again, knowing this was what Markus needed to hear the most right now.
Markus just nodded with a sigh, hoping Aaron's word would come true.
*JASON's TEAM*
Jason, Harry, Kizy and Rose - all of them were simply speechless at the events that were taking place in front of them.
They all were busy killing the Professor's army from behind when those loud blasts were heard. And them being at the last meant no proper view for the scenario ahead.
Those loud blasts had even made Kizy, the gun goddess loose her target for the first time ever.
"What exactly is happening?" Rose went towards Jason and asked.
"Do we have that secret drone?" In turns Jason asked Harry.
Harry immediately nodded before taking out a cricket ball sized gadget, along with a small notebook like thing which was the screen.
"If anyone finds out, we would be in grave danger!" Rose warned Jason.
"Everyone has quietened down which is something unusual. There is no movement from both sides. I don't think anyone would attack others for the time being. As for why this is happening, we can not go out by ourselves. Hence drones are the best way." Jason explained Rose in a low voice.
"Okay, as you deem correct." Rose nodded, agreeing to Jason's plan.
With that the drone, without making any noise, was quietly sent to the battlefield while the live video of whatever was happening on the battlefield instantly appeared on the screen.
"Who are they?" Harry questioned with an eyebrow raise, watching the invaders intently.
"Aaron?" Suddenly Kizy who had been silent all this while peeked at the video, only to be surprised by whatever she saw.
When the professor had attacked her last time, where Aaron had saved her life, she thought he had died.
She had even asked Markus about Aaron, but Markud only replied that he wanted Kizy to heal properly before he could discuss other matters.
She thought he was avoiding Aaron's topic because he might have died while saving her which would definitely make her feel nothing but utter guilt.
But from the scene playing on the screen, she thought there was something else that Markus might have wanted to tell her.
"Second sister, I think you are right. He does look like Aaron. But wasn't he dead?" This time Rose spoke up.
"I am not sure, first sister." Kizy said in a contemplating tone.
"What about the woman accompanying him? Can anyone identify her?" Harry asked after confirming that the man was actually Aaron.
"I might have some hint about her identity but I am not sure as well." Jason mumbled, his thoughts trying to piece everything together.
"Look, they both stopped." Rose pointed towards the screen.
The duo was seen talking for a minute or two after which Aaron stopped in his position and the lady continued walking ahead.
"As I had guessed!" Jason said to himself but was loud enough for all his team members to listen.
"You know her?" Rose asked.
"No. But I now know who she is." Jason paused before speaking again.
"Lady Amyra, current ruler of the Imperial nation and that psycho's mother." By the time Jason stopped talking, all of them were shocked to the core.
"Are you sure?" This time Kozy asked in disbelief.
"Yeah. I have heard some bits and pieces about her missing. I have also heard Markus saying something about that. We will have to ask him for the sidestory though. I am not aware of the details." Jason said, something shining in his eyes as he saw the Lady walk ahead while Markus reconciled with Aaron in the back.
