Chapter 2422 Trouble in a New World
Chapter 2422 Trouble in a New World
The moment Kendrick and his companions moved, his squire, Grisdi, widened her eyes as she unconsciously moved behind her young master.
'Shit! What's he doing?' She broke into a cold sweat as she tried to prevent the worst from happening. 'If you do that, you'll be considered a traitor! Forget The Blossom World. Our world itself will consider you an enemy!'
Simultaneously with Grisdi's move, the level 110 Sovereign and 10 other individuals between levels 107 and 109 moved towards the spatial distortion created by Kendrick, each of them widening their eyes and sensing bad omens.
"Shit! Don't do that, brat!" Old Igiro shouted as he crossed the space to prevent Kendrick from going through the portal.
Kendrick looked at Igiro and took a deep breath before jumping into his portal, doing what he felt he had to do to save his mother.
He was truly grateful to The Enchanted World, and the Banished Crossfire. This world and his sect had given him everything, from cultivation opportunities for him and his group to resources that would be very important for them to leave this world and move on to Zocarro when Minos returned from wherever he was.
But he couldn't leave his family and keep waiting, maybe losing his whole family before his father returned, or he got enough power to act.
All he said before entering his portal was a simple "sorry" before commanding his divine powers to close this spatial distortion zone.
Seeing the thing disappear before him, Igiro turned red with rage and continued forward to enter the portal.
But just as he was about to reach the spatial distortion, it closed completely as all the surrounding Sovereigns appeared on the battlefield.
"Shit!"
"He's gone!"
"Where's Grisdi?" someone there asked, amidst the observations of the others.
"I saw her go through the portal with the Hollie girl." Said one expert while Igiro activated an item to warn the Grand Elder and the Sect Master of the problems they would have from now on.
Igiro said to the men. "Let's find Grisdi's communicator. They've probably destroyed theirs, but hers might reveal the location of their group. In the meantime, send men to surround the place her group left behind."
"Are you talking about the place Kendrick's father left decades ago?" One man asked as half the group moved to carry out the orders of the strongest man there.
"Yes. Kendrick and his group believed he would return one day. When that happens, we'll use his father to force him back, just in case The Blossom World really wants him on their side!" Igiro said before leaving the area, pessimistic about what would happen from now on.
...
Meanwhile, Kendrick and his group appeared on the other side of the portal he had created, in a world close to The Blossom World, a neutral place in the galaxy's war. More importantly, the place they arrived at was the weakest zone of that world, the middle of an uninhabited desert.
"Kendrick..." Hollie called her brother's name, causing everyone in the group to turn their attention to her as they saw Grisdi hold her back, a weapon pointed at the woman's neck.
Noticing they hadn't left The Enchanted Realm alone, Hollie's five companions changed their smiling expressions as they took up fighting positions, seeing the trouble they had gotten themselves into.
Kendrick narrowed his eyes and motioned to Grisdi to calm down. "Grisdi, what are you doing?"
"Kendrick, I'm the one asking you! What do you think you're doing? Open a portal back to The Enchanted Realm and return to the sect, or I'll be forced to act!"
"Grisdi, you know I can't do that. If you hurt my sister, I will kill you here and now. Remember, you're my squire!" He gave her an ugly look, putting the alien in a terrible position.
"You betrayed the sect! How dare you order me around now? I know how much you care for your sister. Come back to The Enchanted Realm with me and I'll leave Hollie." Lily, Vico and Callie watched Grisdi warily as the level 106 robot prepared to take action against this level 105 alien girl.
Aware that it wouldn't be easy to kill Grisdi without risking his sister's life, Kendrick thought he would have to do something else.
"I've just crossed the galaxy, Grisdi. I couldn't go back now, even if I wanted to. But let's make a deal. If you release Hollie and surrender, we won't kill you and we'll let you go. The area we're in poses no immediate danger to us, but if we stay here too long, we'll be in trouble, especially you. There are enemy forces from your world who will hunt you down first. So it might not be in your best interest to keep us in this situation for long."
"Damn it, Kendrick! Do you realize this is suicide?" she asked him angrily, sensing that there was indeed trouble for her near to this place. "Even if I ally myself with you, we will all die to the forces of The Blossom World or the forces of my world. If we don't return immediately, we will be considered traitors!"
"We're not going back, Grisdi. I won't abandon my mother!"
Looking at the four of them preparing to attack him, Grisdi knew she would die as soon as she slit Hollie's throat. Worse, the moment she died, her sect wouldn't be able to track down this group, who had surely prepared well before coming here.
'I'll back off for now. They don't know about my emergency communicator, which is connected to my life force. That will be enough for the sect to send a group to my position.' She thought to herself.
"All right. Let's make a deal and calm our hearts." She opened her mouth when Kendrick offered her the contract with the previous conditions.
As soon as she was sure that she wouldn't be killed, she let go of Hollie and had her things taken away, as she had expected.
"You will accompany us for now." Kendrick tied Grisdi's wrists and heels while she continued with her plan to secretly sabotage this group.
"I hope you will not kill us all." She said as she looked into his eyes, really wishing it.
