After several days of walk, Alex and Blake had finally reached Nerfadox City. It was quite developed as compared to City Locis. But Alex didn’t have the time to appreciate the infrastructure. Him and Blake were currently hot news among the people.
“10 million?! How much is that in dollars?” Alex asked as he looked at the passing by people from an alleyway.
“How would I know? Stop talking nonsense and pay some attention here human, I am not going to go over the plan twice!” Blake scolded.
“Yeah, yeah, go on.” Alex waved his hand lazily.
A few minutes later…
Two people walked amid a crowd of people towards a tall 50 stories building. It was a company providing private locker services. One wouldn’t believe but people had a lot of things to hide as well as to keep safe.
The two people who seemed to be a couple walked through the building’s main entrance as the security guards let them pass through.
“You really have some weird tastes, don’t you?” Alex said in a whisper while forcing a smile. He was currently dressed in a long coat going up to his knees. His hair wasn’t black anymore. Rather it was replaced by long blonde hair similar to that of a woman. As for his face, he had put on large shades. Coupled with the wig, no would recognize him.
Blake on the other hand had long grey hair coming up to his shoulders making him look quite handsome. Even his clothes had changed to simple nice causals. At this moment a certain shop might find these things missing.
“Shut up human, just let me take the lead here. They can’t really have two people walking with cuffs on their premises now, can’t they?” Blake whispered back.
‘Miracle, are there…’
‘Yes… there are several guards here, stronger than your average soldiers you both fought. In addition, there are two other individuals here, even stronger than that Gale insect.’ Miracle informed understanding what Alex wanted to ask.
At the moment the two of them were walking with their arms locked with each other, using their long sleeves to hide their cuffs.
As soon as the two reached the reception at the middle of the hall, the employee asked for their names to see if they are registered with them. As requested, Blake provided his basic details.
“Mr. Liam Jade, please verify yourself here.” The employee at the reception said as he pushed forward a small fist sized machine. Blake never really registered himself with his original name keeping in mind a situation like this. He knew that working with Black Cloud, he might face some issues of his identity being revealed. At that moment if he was ever on the run, he would definitely need some supplies to fall back on which was exactly this.
The next moment Blake kept his thumb on the
machine. It scanned his finger print and after showing a message that his
identity has been confirmed, the employee called for someone else to lead Blake
to his private locker. Since Alex was with Blake, they didn’t have any
objections of him tagging along.
After leading them to his room containing his locker, the employee waited outside. As soon as the doors closed Alex and Blake separated away from each other faster than the like sides of magnet repelling each other.
“HAH… HAH… I thought I would die of suffocation!” Alex said taking deep breaths.
“Same Here… Human” Blake said equally disgusted.
“Hurry up and open the locker up, I can’t stand being cuffed with you.” Alex said hurriedly.
“The feelings are mutual human.” Blake replied as he didn’t waste a single second using a key to open his locker.
Followingly apart from various things which seemed like weapons, rings or what not, Blake removed two things. One was a disc like object about the size of a palm.
“We can use this to get out of these cuffs.” Blake explained placing it on a nearby table.
‘Oh… I sense anti magic properties from it. It seems, this Blake does know what he is talking about.’ Miracle commented.
“Next is this…” Blake said as he opened a
small box. Inside which was the same
black and bluish colored cube which Azmiel had used to open the portal back at the school to take Alex away.
“This is…” Alex muttered to himself.
‘Yes, this is legit. This’ll be able to transport you back to Earth. You two should firs- someone’s here.’ Miracle said suddenly sensing someone outside.
*Knock* *Knock*
Blake suddenly stopped after hearing the knocking noises. There never is a time constraint for them to do what they want with their personal things. So, this was unusual. Blake gestured Alex to wait where he was until he suddenly shouted.
“Get out of the way! Human!”
‘Get out of the way! Human!’
Both Miracle and Blake warned together as the next moment the door came flying towards them. The two were quick enough to evade it at the last moment. Miracle and Blake had sensed the surge in mana outside the door.
But the real surprise came after seeing the person outside holding an unconscious employee by his collar.
“Yo, kids it’s been a while huh?” Azmiel said with devilish grin.
