Chapter 87
We returned to the Red Skull Gang's base .
The injured men were sent to the infirmary . The infirmary was full today . After all, I had incapacitated various of the gang members before and now another group was sent in .
Fortunately, the injuries of the people I incapacitated were light . I was careful to no injure them gravely . They were going to be my future subordinates so I could not be too hard with them .
Once the healing mages confirmed that Cline was alright, Marana and Akilah sighed in relief . They then looked at me gratefully for saving their brother .
Marana hesitated for a little while before bowing deeply .
"Thank you . "
"S-Sister?" Akilah was slightly surprised seeing that, but I just smiled and nodded . "Don't mind it, you are my subordinates after all . "
Marana's expression became complicated . "… Right . However, I still want to thank you . If you had not been there, perhaps Cline would have died . "
"Hahaha . As I told you, don't mind it . If you want to thank me, then swear me your loyalty . "
Marana was startled when she heard that, but in the next instant, she smiled wryly . "I'm sorry, although it's true you helped us, I'm not sure yet if you are worthy of me and my siblings' loyalty . "
I just shrugged without minding Marana's rejection . After all, she was right, we just met today and she could not be sure if I deserved her loyalty or not . If she truly swore me her loyalty just now, then I would have suspected that something was wrong .
I had to admit that I was pretty satisfied with these four siblings . Marana, Akilah, Cline, and Raven were all very talented . Marana was already at the eighth layer and the other three were at the seventh layer . The oldest of them, Marana, was just twenty-eight years old .
People as talented as they were rare, but I got four on my first night . Moreover, I also got clues to resolve the issue of achieving group immortality, so my mood was pretty good . Even I did not expect tonight harvest would be so good .
With such good luck, nothing can go wrong .
After that, I asked Marana to take care of the Red Skull Gang and show me the remaining data tomorrow . I also instructed her to keep a low profile while I was not here and try not to provoke the Blood Night Gang . They probably would not dare to take action in the middle of the day, but it was good to be careful .
Besides that, I told her to find a group of loyal people with passable talent . Marana and her siblings were indeed pretty strong, but they were not enough if we wanted to make the Red Skull Gang the strongest of the capital .
Of course, I could simply go and erase the other gangs from the map, but if I had to do all the work always, what is the point of having subordinates?
Lastly, I instructed her to keep an eye on Raven . I was not sure if the soul contract caused any side-effect, so I had to be careful .
Once I made sure that I did not forget anything, I left .
It was almost six already, and my classes began at eight . Although I would be alright without sleeping for a few months, I wanted to rest a little before going to class . After all, I was still injured .
But when I was going back to the academy, an overwhelming sensation of danger assaulted me .
My expression changed . My senses expanded to the surroundings and Akashic Sight showed me everything in a few kilometers around me .
However, I was unable to find the source of danger .
My brows furrowed . I don't like it .
The feeling of danger did not disappear . Instead, it became even stronger . At some point, it was so strong that I was pretty sure I was going to die .
I filled my entire body with mana without caring for my injuries . I prepared myself to fight to the death .
But suddenly, the feeling of danger vanished .
It was very sudden, as though it never existed . I even suspected that my senses were failing me .
However, I instantly denied that guess .
With my strength, my senses would not fail so easily .
I searched for a while for the source of danger, but I failed to find anything, so I sighed .
Shaking my head, I departed towards the academy .
Unfortunately, I could not shake off the strange feeling of unease in my heart . Something was wrong, I knew it .
Less than twenty minutes later, I was back in the academy . I took a step across space to return to my room and let out a tired sigh .
