Chapter 629 Touring a conquered city.
"Funny enough, I didn't get to do much in the war. Right from the time I joined the League of Assassins to the late stages of the war, I was just looked up in a room, training." Blake took another sip of the dark blue liquid before continuing. "I would actually love to chill a little bit before going on with the next stage of all this, but it seems we don't have time."
Blake let out a helpless sigh as he shook his head and asked.
"With everything that has happened so far, has your stance on returning to Earth changed?" This made Brian look toward the ceiling and stroke his beard while pondering the question.
After close to a minute, Brian finally replied "My stance still remains the same."
"You see, I grew up in the trenches and my family is barely above the poverty line. My Dad has been absent even before I was conceived and my mom is a call girl… You know, the typical black man's story."
"Going back would mean returning to poverty and a life of misery. Also, I have no clue what the time difference between the two worlds is, meaning a lot of issues concerning our disappearance would surely come up."
"So why should I go back to all that when I have money and power to defend myself and control my life?" Brian explained.
"I understand, even I wouldn't want to go back to such a life." Blake nodded as he took another sip of his alcohol before continuing. "As for the time difference, I had always thought of using the time authority of the space pathway to revert things to how they were. However, not only do I not know the implications of such actions, but from what I have heard about the space element it is incapable of achieving such feats."
If the time authority of the space element could rewind time to such a degree, then it would have been impossible to foil any of Valerius' plans, talk less of killing him.
"What about bringing your mom over here?" Since all that Blake cared for on Earth was his mom, it made sense that she was brought over here instead of going to the extent of rewinding time.
"Yeah, that would definitely be the best option especially since my dad is also here. However, that would have to wait until will deal with all the problems we are currently facing here, as well as the Neons."
There was no point in bringing her into Infinite realm to start worrying about everything getting destroyed. Also, they still didn't know how Valerius had managed to summon them into Infinite realm. So it was best to channel their energy into something more productive and worry about it later.
After close to two hours of talking and drinking, the bottle was emptied. Brian dropped the glass cup on the table and rose to his feet before saying.
"See you later today, I have to meet my adventurer party and inform them that we would be disbanding. The original gang is here!" Brian said as he was making his way to the door.
On placing his hand on the door handle, he suddenly remembered a matter. "Is it okay if I crash here?"
"Of course." Blake gave him a thumbs up.
"Thanks bro." Brian didn't waste time swinging the door open and leaving.
'He is speaking as if the others have already accepted.' Blake chuckled as he was left alone in the room.
"What to do now?"
After sitting in silence for more than 5 minutes, Blake was clueless about what next to do, and that included Ebony and Ivory who shrugged when he turned to them for suggestions.
Having spent the last few years doing nothing else but training and cultivating, Blake seemed to have forgotten how to have fun… at least the little Camilla and Tessie had impacted on him just before he left.
"Let's go tour the city then." Blake immediately rose to his feet and cleared the glass cups and bottles before heading out of the house with Ebony and Ivory sitting on his shoulders in their miniature form.
Spreading out his senses, Blake detected the nearest empty carriage and warped toward it.
"What the" The carriage driver was startled as a white-haired individual dressed in all black appeared beside the road, but what made things even more crazy was that the individual was stopping him.
'Did he just appear here just for me to pick him up?' The driver was trying to make it make sense because anyone who could teleport at will was able to directly move to their destination.
Seeing no reason to reject money, the carriage driver reined the horses to come to a halt.
Blake opened the door and took a seat before Ebony and Ivory rushed down from his shoulders and moved to the windows.
"To where Sir?" The carriage driver asked politely.
"I want to tour the city, so just drive in any direction you want. You will be compensated handsomely." Blake replied with a smile.
'Praise the heavens!' The driver screamed in his head as he began taking back all the stupid questions he had asked concerning the white-haired man.
Without wasting another second, the carriage began moving at a steady pace, allowing the passengers to enjoy what was meant to be a breathtaking view of the city.
'Thinking about it, it is quite crazy that I decided to tour the city that I assisted in capturing. How would people receive me when they recognize me?' Blake asked Ebony and Ivory but they just gave him an incredulous look.
'You guys are right, it doesn't matter. Who would dare attack me, they must be tired of living.' Blake quietly chuckled.
Not only would it be difficult for someone to recognize him inside the carriage, but people with the power level that could pose him danger weren't just wondering about the streets of Calton.
