The portal snapped shut and Jake could find himself in the portal room of the Raven city Guildhall. Imdiately everybody ca out of the portal, Alfred did a head count before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you all for allowing hunt with you." Jake said politely as he did another small bow.
One eye just scoffed and walked away so did the rest of the team one by one while leaving Alfred along with Jake in the room.
"You are welco kiddo, and please don't mind their attitude. I'm sure they are still shaken up from the incident in the portal." Alfred said and Jake smiled at this statent but Alfred didn't see it.
"And I would love it if you join us more often." Alfred said as he made his way out of the room leaving Jake on his own.
"Phew! Good thing he left, pretending to be nice is very exhausting." Jake said.
"That guy isn't that all bad." Zee comnted.
"I guess." Jake said walking out of the portal room while fiddling with his system.
{Hey guys, where are you all at?}
Jake sent a ssage to his friends while heading to the inn unknown to him that he was being followed closely by a strange man.
anwhile, Helen, Alex, Peter and Berg were still at Steve's place trying to get whatever information they could from him when Helen asked a question.

"Steve…" Helen called out and Steve was pulled out of his thoughts. "My father… do you know where he is being kept?"
Steve sighed as he took another sip of his drink then he looked at Helen with remorse on his face.
"Yes I do, I know where the Rave lord is being kept but it's not good." Steve said.
"What do you an?" Helen asked.
Steve sighed and took a sip from his drink again.
"The rave lord is still very much alive." Steve said and Helen breathed a sigh of relief on hearing that as she had been worried that her father was no longer alive.
"And he's not being kept here, rather he has been taken as a hostage to sowhere else. I don't know why Blip still kept him alive."
"Where is he?" Alex asked.
"He is being kept at the main base of the Iron Fist Guild, in their own city where he can't escape and he is being guarded by high class fighters that are trained to kill and can subdue almost anyone." Steve said.
Hearing this, didn't instill much hope for Helen as she was now doubting if it was possible to rescue her dad from wherever he is.
"How do you know all these?" Peter asked.
"Because once a week, I always go to deliver food to him and also give him a type of drug that will continually weaken him." Steve said with a tear trickling down his face which he quickly cleaned but it didn't go unnoticed by anyone there.
Helen hearing this, was clenching her fist in trendous anger as she couldn't help but imagine what her father was going through.
"So what do we do now?" Peter asked.
"We stick with the plan, we try and set up a eting with them to stop hindering our progress and then maybe, we can attempt to help Helen." Alex replied.
"Are you crazy?" Helen shouted with tears dropping down her face.
"As much as I want to save my dad so bad, I won't want to risk your lives and most especially Jake's. We will find another way to save him that doesn't involve risking our lives." Helen said.
Steve noticed that the na 'Jake' kept coming up almost everyti Helen spoke and he noticed how she sounded whenever she said that na.
'He must be the leader they said is in this city. Which begs the question, where he is.' Steve thought and then he could see the reaction from the four people sitting across from him.
"It's a ssage from Jake." Berg said.
"Yeah, I think he is back from wherever he went." Peter said.
"Should we tell him where we are? Maybe he would co over here and we will plan our next move." Helen said.
"No." Alex said. "Let's go and et him rather than calling him over here."
"Fine, let ask where he is." Peter said.
{Hey dude, where are you now? Because we are making our way to the inn now.}
"I think it's high ti we took our leave." Alex said as he stood up and so did the rest but that was when they could see that the door to the cottage broke off its hinges and went flying while a person was seen walking through.
"I can't let you all leave now can I? After hearing what you all said." A voice was heard saying.
anwhile, Jake was still making his way to the inn slowly while ssing with his system.
"C'mon, why is it taking them so long to reply?" Jake asked himself as he was still keeping his eye on the system.
Right on cue, a system notification popped up and Jake didn't waste any ti in checking it out.
{Hey dude, where are you now? Because we are making our way to the inn now.}
"Oh, thank heavens, they are already on their way to the inn. Let also…" Jake stuttered as he heard a loud shout that ca from behind him.
"It's you!" The voice shouted and Jake turned around to see who was causing a ruckus and he raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"You son of a bitch! You ruined my life and you have the audacity to co here?" The man said walking over towards Jake.
"Huh? Who are you? Because I think you have got the wrong guy here." Jake said about to head off when the man placed a hand on his shoulder stopping him dead in his tracks.
"How dare you? You ruined my life and now you are acting as if you don't know !" The man said in anger.
"I'm gonna make you pay now!"
