《Fantasial Apocalypse》Chapter 44: [ Did you not receive it? ]
Advertisement
Silence fell upon the room.
The middle-aged man; Captain Otanes widened his eyes in shock. If his jaw wasn’t connected to his face, it would long ago be dropped into the ground.
“Y, You-!”
He wanted to say something but he was cut off by Allen.
“Don’t think that I don’t know what you wanted to do. I remember giving Major William a warning. I wonder, did you forget about it or maybe I was speaking a different language at that time?”
Major William who was listening quietly almost jumped back in fright when he heard his name being called. “M, Mister Allen, d, don’t misunderstand, I…”
“Well, either way. I didn’t expect anything before giving that warning so it’s okay. In any case, that was just a friendly reminder.
I understand humans quite well, as I’m a human myself, so I understand you.”
“Mister Allen, please…” Although Lt. Colonel Mayla didn’t understand the conversation, she could tell from their expressions that the conversation was heading in a bad direction.
She wanted to calm the tense atmosphere but she was stopped by Allen with a wave of a hand.
Besides the youth was Silver who immediately stood up and growled menacingly the moment it felt the change from its master. Even lightning who was leisurely sleeping without care on the youth’s bosom suddenly stood up in a threatening manner.
It bared its fangs towards the people and sparks started appearing around its body.
“Then let me tell you this, Mr. whatever-your-name-is. No one wanted to be a puppet or a dog for someone else, especially me. If you force my hand, then I’m sorry but I would not hold anything back against you. When that time comes, be prepared to get annihilated.”
Allen spoke with golden sparks crackled around him.
He was already aware of Captain Otanes plans towards him.
As an Electromaster himself, stealing information in a military base is as easy as cutting a pie.
Using his electric abilities he can hack any electronic device and bypass normal electronic security measures with ease. He can even decode the electronic flow of information… and so stealing information from the military network is nothing.
Allen gathered a few pieces of information, especially the order Captain Otanes gave to his subordinates.
[ Watch and observe Allen Bando. And if an opportunity arises, capture him quietly. ]
He seemed to be underestimating Allen’s abilities too much or he might have just treated him as nothing but a child.
But unfortunately for him, Allen has matured a lot from the years he spent in his previous world.
He had experienced many things that normal people wouldn’t be able to.
Treating him like a kid is something only fools do!

Captain Otanes gritted his teeth as if bearing with something.
“…Kid, are you threatening me?!” He said as if coughing up blood.
Tension ran through the air.
Allen smiled slightly as he looked at the monitor.
He looked like an exhausted adult smiling at a child who understood nothing.
“Did you think I need something like that…?” Golden sparks flew from Allen’s shoulder.
The sparks poured out and connected to the long table where they vanished.
The people beside him; Aileen, Alicia, Flor and Ms. Grace was shocked speechless and immediately moved away from their seats because of the noise of the sparks.
“…You know what I hate the most… is being planned behind my back. I abhor betrayal, which is something I couldn’t accept.”
Then a smile formed on Allen’s lips.
It was the ferocious smile of someone viewing their enemy. Naturally, the people in front of him were not an enemy…yet but the youth still smiled.
This smile brought chill and fear to all the people who saw it.
A mere monitor wasn’t enough to stop it.
The middle aged man’s breath caught in his throat.
“Threat is only for the weak…” as soon as Allen finished saying that, a loud explosion suddenly rang out from behind the monitor.
Like a frightened rabbit, Captain Otanes jumped from his seat in fright. From the scene showed in the monitor, anyone could see a smoke appearing through the open window.
“Y, you!! What did you do!?”
Shrugging his shoulder, Allen’s eyes narrowed slightly in a smile.
At this moment, a voice answered his question.
“I believe we have already warned you beforehand, Mister Otanes.”
A beautiful tall woman with long black hair wearing a black suit walked calmly towards Allen.
“Who are you!?” Captain Otanes asked with a shaky voice.
“Forgive me for my insolent behavior. My name is Lieri Del Con, Mistress Mia Bianchi’s devoted servant.”
Lieri introduced while performing a curtsy.
“B, Bianchi?! That Bianchi Family?!”
“Oh, I’m really honored that you know of us. But I believe we have sent you a letter regarding the young master? Did you not receive it, I wonder?”
“Young master? No, you should be talking about that br-, uhum, I mean that youth” Captain Otanes wanted to call Allen a brat but he suddenly noticed the sharp look Lieri was giving him and it gave him a chill as if he would be cut down.
The other people, especially the two high ranking soldier showed in the monitor was hanging their heads or scratching the back of their hair, completely ignoring Captain Otanes.
And if one looked closely, their eyes seemed to be saying ‘You reap what you sow!’

“Uhum, anyway, I believe that this youth is one of us; a Filipino! He must be siding with us, not with some foreign forces!”
“I believe that is not for you to decide!” Lieri almost raised her voice.
She did not know the details of Allen’s situation right now, but she had received a call from Mia saying that the Philippine government is eyeing Allen.
Although she didn’t know the circumstances, her master had already issued an attack to the Captain’s place in her own initiative as a warning for him.
She was even ordered to make sure that something like this wouldn’t happen again.
Allen was her master’s reverse scale.
Anyone would lay their claws on him would experience her wrath.
… And of course, not just her own, all of the Bianchi Family would move if something happened to him.
That’s how important Allen was to the Bianchi Family!
… besides, even though she didn’t remember anything, but just through the stories she heard from Mia about their supposedly close friend relationship in the other world, she would also protect him as to honor those times!
“The young master is someone very important to my master. Anyone who planned against him is my, no, our enemy! I take it that you wanted to be ‘our’ enemy, Mister Captain Otanes?”
“No, that’s…”
“Wait!” Another voice called out.
It was from the woman on the monitor.
“Captain Otanes doesn’t mean any harm. And of course, we have no intention of creating any ill fates with the Divination Princess, so please just this once, please forgive him.”
“… …”
Allen watched the scene unfold while drinking his milk coffee.
Truthfully, he didn’t expect Lieri to suddenly show up, but now that she appeared, she actually took the spotlight away from him causing him to be reduced to a mere spectator, like the people on the side; (Major William, Lt. Colonel Mayla, Aileen, Alicia, and Flor)
Well, seeing Lieri acting like a defendant on a court was a rare sight so he could only step back and enjoys the show. Too bad, there is no cola here and popcorn.
“We will certainly give you an explanation for this, so please calm your anger.”
“And you are…?”
“My name is Commodore Camila Ramos… commodore of the Philippine Navy.”
“Oh, so you are the rumored Femme Fatale of the Philippines. Just like what I have heard, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Oh, the honor is mine…” Commodore Camila Ramos politely spoke.
“… Ahm, I wonder if we can set these things aside…”
Lieri turned around and looked at Allen.
She seemed to be waiting for his decision.
All eyes turned towards the youth, calmly sitting comfortably as if saying he was just an ordinary observer and it got nothing to do with him.
This scene irritated the surrounding. Did he forget that he was the one who started this…?!
Feeling their strange gazes, Allen raised his head.
“Ahm, what are you looking at me? I’m just buying soy sauce~” As he said that, he smiled as if he were truly enjoying himself.
This expression really owed him a punch.
Most of the people present clenched their fists and if not for Lieri’s scary appearance, they would have rushed and given him what he owed them!
Lieri on the other hand only smiled and nodded her head.
“The young master accedes but there would be no second chance!”
“O, of course. Thank you for understanding!”
“What about you, mister Otanes?”
“Hmph!” Captain Otanes gritted his teeth and immediately turned off his transmission in shame and anger.
Lieri turned around and started walking towards Allen.
She didn’t say anything anymore and only stood behind the youth.
Looking at her intimidating presence like a lioness protecting its cub, no one said anything.
“Ahm, Miss Lieri, I wonder why you came in that place…?” The infamous Femme Fatale of the Philippines endured the pressure and tried to break the tense atmosphere.
“Are you here to bring Mister Allen back with you?”
With those words, most of the women immediately tensed.
Ms. Grace, in particular, showed a restless expression – albeit she didn’t know why or even noticed it. She only looked straight at Allen.
“I wanted to do that and I’m sure my master also desired it as well but…” Lieri looked at Allen acting carefree and couldn’t help but smiled bitterly.
“…but I don’t think the young master would agree to it.”
“Well, I still have something to do here~”
“As you have heard, that is why this time I didn’t come for that reason. I was ordered by my master to hand something to the young master.”
“Hand something…? Could we have the pleasure of knowing what it is?” the other man showed in the monitor asked.
Lieri glanced at Allen.
Seeing that he wasn’t doing anything she nodded her head and waved her hand.
Two men in black wearing black shades entered the room. One of them is carrying a black metal briefcase.
The case was put on the table in front of Allen.
“There are some things that are confidential so we can’t show you those things but as for this, we could.”
Lieri opened the briefcase.
