Samuel rested so distance away quietly watching the old woman retreat along with her three captains.
He beckoned Luna to him instructing her to stay away from the area for the ti being. There might be poisonous residue that might affect them so they should hunt at soplace remote just to be safe.
As usual he didn't know if she understood him but he was too tired and injured to repeat himself. Not only he was battling with poison but he was also pierced by their weapons half a dozen tis seriously injuring him.
His regenerative powers were taking so ti due to the poison but he would be fine after an hour or so. He laid down trying to rest when he felt his cellphone buzz which miraculously didn't sustain any damage during the fight probably because they were never aiming for his legs only for his vitals.
"Samuel! Where are you? They told -"
"I am fine Uncle. I have taken care of them so you can start the clean up process." His tired voice was noticed by Daniel.
This ant the initial prediction of five peoplenmust be fault as they had to be extrely strong to make him break a sweat.
A collection of that many remarkable individuals was highly unlikely.
"Were the from the sa organisation? Who are they? We need to get to the bottom of this madness!" Daniel was frustrated. They touted themselves being the best in the world but it seed like others didn't even put them in their eye. Such a force needed to be monitored closely.
"They were here for unfinished business."
"Is that girl involved in this? It was foolish for you to trust her." Daniel ntioned Talia na which made Samuel grip his phone harder.
"She is not involved. I am sorry, I will tell you everything when I co back."
" What do an co back? If you are going sowhere take Steve and others with you." Daniel proposed.
"No, absolutely not. Let them focus on the Greens. We have almost cracked their defences. With so much pressure from foriegn and local forces, I believe even the Queen wouldn't be able to hold on for long."
"It's not wise to go against the crown Samuel."
"It's not that made that choice. I warned her but she failed to make an exception. The era of monarch is like a setting sun, sooner or later it would be aningless especially when she is harbouring and protecting people like them."
"..." Daniel didn't have any words so he stayed silent and chose to change the subject.
" Everywhere here is worried about you. Adele and others woke up and not finding you here, they are clamoring for answers. So stupid brat told them and now they are in fear which is not good."
"That.." How he wished to go back and fall back asleep in their arms but he couldn't. Not without knowing where they took Talia.
Talia might not honor their agreent but he had a duty to protect her, at least this ti so that he wouldn't feel burdened with guilt.
He felt like it was his fault of being too reckless with his eting with Raani. But that too was necessary to absolve Talia of her 'cris'.
Still he never expected them to attack two tis in two days, even sending one of their top leaders to do the job. It showed how vicious they were woth their secret which might just be their recipe for survival, after all they had a history of two millennia behind them!
"Don't worry. You whole family is down here including your parents and grandparents."
"What? Why?" Samuel nearly had a heartattack.
"I already warned you, I will not be keeping more secrets from them. When they learned about a possible attack they ca here before . It's strange to think it's their first ti seeing your place."
"That's not the problem..the real-"
"Amanda and Adele are there. You aunt Ludivine also ca with our kids who can keep Grayson company. The atmosphere was tense few minutes ago but when they hear the good news, I am sure everything will be fine. Yes,yes, he is fine. No, he will be busy fornfew hours..." Suddenly Daniel started talking to soone else giving them updates.
Samuel on the other hand was shook. His family had t Adele but Kate, Bella, Robyn and Dhia would be strangers to them.
The whole point of his house in the woods was to conceal his personal life so that they wouldn't think of him as so kind of sick person who likes to run through girlfriends like clothes!
Even after all he did, like creating an empire or even being a accomplished actor and writer, he felt like his Harem king title would always be in the spotlight.
Even he didn't know how many people he would end up with in the end. What if when he is an old man, young girls keep chasing him, just the thought of it made him sick in the stomach!
"I will contact you. Please send soone to the city to wait for ." He knew the cover of darkness was important as people would begin to question if he dared to walk in public.
He was covered in blood from head to toe making him look like a serial killer!
He wanted to wash up but he feared his clothes would also be contaminated so he simply undressed up to his underwear and started searching for soone who fit his build among the people he knocked.
He found soone matching but it still felt too tight but he still put in on. The temperature was coldest at this ti and he could feel it.
His face and hair was still covered in blood but he was sure any poison there would be neutralized by his system.
He also got to check his injuries, it stopped bleeding but would take so ti to close up.
His vision was also blurry and his body felt tired too but he knew he had no ti to rest walking toward the edge of the forest making his way to the road.
He could run to the city on foot but he decided it was best to rest for few minutes to get his bearings.
This road wasn't used much as it went through the forest and one had to take a long detour around the whole periter of the estate to reach the highway.
He thought he could find those people's abandoned vehicle but it seed like they took a big bus or van to transport so many people.
As he was thinking about Talia's situation, he saw a distant light heading straight in his direction. He was off to the side under thick tree and bushes so any normal driver would not be able to spot him unless they specifically looked for sothing in his direction so he disregarded the approaching vehicle.
But he beca alert when the car stopped right beside where he was hiding. Samuel decided it was best to gain so distance and see if more of them decided to co for support but as he stood up a sharp pain in his head made him stagger and unfortunately, whoever was in the car heard it coming out to inspect.
Samuel tried to lift himself up but he knew the poison have began to take a toll on his body. He had to push his limit constantly whenever he was hit with one of these monstrosities and this ti was the sa.
While Raani let him rest for half an hour, he had to fight within minutes this ti making it spread faster in his bloodstream.
It was also different giving him hallucinations and headache which was still better than the feeling of being burned alive while feeling your skin fall in the process.
"You stop! Put your hands in the air!" Suddenly he heard a female voice which made him even more confused.
He had been arrested before but always peacefully and now it seed like his haggard looks with bloodstains covering his whole face had beco his downfall.
He squinted as the flashlight shone on his face making the situation worse. The female gasped and tried to reach for her radio that's when she realised she wasn't carrying on as this was a off duty call!
"Miss, can you just ignore ? I promise I am just soone who have last his way. I promise you will not see again." Samuel knew it was futile but maybe she would get scared and run off so he made sure to give his creepiest smile.
"Shut up! Don't try to play coy with !" He could hear her voice tremble. He tried to squint to see her face and what he saw shicked him to his core.
He abruptly stood up reaching for her facebut she was so startled that she weapon discharged hitting him right in his shoulder making him fall!
