A few hours passed in India before I allowed myself to have a little break. I was simply hungry and really needed so food. So I just pulled so stuff from my vault.
- A break? - asked Jayadeva.
- Yes.
He nodded with a smile.
- Is it tiring? This - He pointed at the invisible barriers.
- Yes, and no. A couple of hours is ok, but a couple of days is... It's just boring. Not to ntion...
I ended up not finishing the sentence, and just focusing on opening one of the cans. I twisted the lid a bit to make a spoon and started eating the tuna.
- Not to ntion the angry people in the city? - he asked.
- Yeah.
- You can't please everybody. I had to learn this as well, and I was way older than you.
- What happened?
- You took my son behind my back. I was furious back then, but now... Now I understand that was the right choice. They might not understand right now, but they will in the future.
- Maybe so will, but not everybody. Blue... He was planning to do sothing.
- I noticed. He really wanted the gate to open in Japan. Probably to contact the governnt, and take over the place.
- People would fight for it. I would fight for it.
- You think he cares?
- Yeah... I don't know. For so reason, I had this... Hope? That he changed... But I was obviously wrong. He didn't do anything for so long and even helped us so much.
- I think he is the type of person who fights till the end. Today he lost, but tomorrow might be a different story. We should watch out for him.
- Yeah...
- But don't be concerned, Peter. You are not alone here, and he knows that he cant lay a finger on you.
- He is a sneaky bastard, so it's better to be careful.
- I think you should just talk to him. Find out what he wants, and negotiate. Maybe you can figure out so kind of compromise?
I shrugged my shoulders and threw the can back in the vault, to get rid of later.
- I don't know... I don't know... What I know is, that I'm tired of fighting among ourselves. If he kips doing that I might have just to...
- Kill him? Yes, you might. Still, Peter, I would start with talking. You would be surprised at how much you can achieve with just that.
- Why do you think he will talk to ? Not to ntion that he is a liar. I can't trust him.
- He won't lie to you. That might have not been the case before, but he respects you now. I think it's worth trying.
- I need to finish this first.
I resud the process of overcharging mana and putting more of it into the barrier. Jayadeva just sat in silence, admiring the view. So people showed up on a boat, swimming towards us. I didn't see them, because I was too focused on my work, but Jayadeva waved to them, as he stood up from his chair.
The boat landed on the shore, and curious locals ca closer, talking to Jayadeva, but I didn't pick up the language. I was too focused on overcharging for my skills to get activated. Those people looked over closely, then approached the barrier, which Jayadeva presented to them.
They put their hands on the invisible wall, and their minds got blown away. So pulled up phones and started taking pictures and videos.
That was just the beginning, as more people, stationing deeper in the hall ca closer to the gate, showing themselves to locals. So of them were craftsn and so Wuxias soldiers. A discussion in English started among them.
In the next hour, police showed up. They walked by land, circling around the lake to get to us. When they saw the gate, and the barrier they were just as freaked out like the rest. There was a bit of talking, which led to so of the police talking with the higherups through radio communication, while the rest made people back off. Then one suddenly approached , to put in cuffs. This broke from the trance.
I felt his hand pulling mine, as he attempted to subdue . Even with the seal turned on my body was simply too strong. I turned 'Eyes of the Void' on to scare him off. He stepped back, as his hand unconsciously went towards the gun.
- I told you this is a bad idea. You can't cuff that man - said Jayadeva to the policeman.
- You are on the territory of India illegally - I was told by the man in khaki uniform. - We need to arrest you.
- Just call your authorities or sothing, but you are not arresting . Talk with that guy, and figure sothing out - I pointed at Jayadeva.
- I've been telling him what's going on here - the leader of craftsn explained. - but he didn't listen. He talked with his supervisor, but I doubt they believed what he told them.
- Ok... - I turned around to face the police and used 'Telekinesis' to make their guns levitate in the air. - See? I can do stuff you can't even imagine, but I don't want to. So please stop making to. Call so politicians, or dia, or whatever, but stop interrupting . I'm doing sothing important. If you want to talk, Jayadeva here will explain everything. Just be reasonable.
With those words, I threw the guns into my vault, and resud the process of overcharging mana, and supplying it to the barriers. The surrounding faded away as I focused. I could still hear them talking, and noticed movent, but it was like through the water.
Jayadeva talked with the police for a while, and then they resud talking with their superiors yet again. It went for a few minutes and was just a prelude to what happened after. As the news spread and even more police showed up, followed by n in suits.. It was already dark by then.
