Aliens?
How could that be possible!
After saying that, Brian couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
However, when he looked at Jason and John, the middle-aged father realized that his two companions had serious expressions on their faces.
"I an, you guys don’t honestly believe in aliens, do you?"
Brian asked.
"Anything is possible."
Jason replied earnestly.
In so ways, he could also be considered an ’outsider’, since he had appeared. Why then couldn’t aliens exist?
"Hmm." Stay tuned for updates on
John also nodded seriously in agreent.
"Hey, guys."
"I was just saying that off the top of my head."
"What if I said it’s the end of the world? That’s the kind of thing not even kids would believe."
Brian said with a wry smile, spreading his hands.
"We’re not kids, we’re adults, so we should believe and prepare for it accordingly."
Jason responded in such a manner.
Living in the Nightless City had long ingrained in Jason the habit of ’safety first’.
No matter what he faced, this habit wouldn’t change.
"If Edward has discovered this, what about the others? What about people with a similar status to Edward?"
"Have they also noticed and made so preparations?"
Jason questioned Brian.
Imdiately, the middle-aged father’s laughter faded, and he sat up straight with a now serious look on his face.
Edward was a fact, sothing he had witnessed with his own eyes.
Although it was unclear what it was, if others had similar facts...
"I will start investigating right away."
Thinking this, Brian could no longer sit still.
He wasn’t afraid of danger to himself, but he was afraid for his daughter.
"It’s not just an investigation, we also need a ’safe house’, enough weapons and ammunition, and supplies for living. And, we must be quick!"
Jason added.
"Is it because of the battle just now?"
The now serious Brian imdiately thought of the key point.
"Not just because of the battle now, but also because of the entire change in Cherry City. If it’s really like we guessed, I think it won’t be long before soone contacts us. Their power will extend far beyond our imagination."
Jason narrowed his eyes slightly.
If it really was only soone of Edward’s level who could notice this, naturally there would be people who choose Edward’s approach, trying to ensure their own safety, but what about the majority?
Humans are social animals.
Even at Edward’s level, it wouldn’t be an exception.
They would inevitably co together!
Form an ’alliance’!
And this alliance would surely be able to influence the entire ’world’!
As for the recent battle being unnoticed?
That’s impossible!
Cherry City, at this mont, had already entered the sight of certain people because of the faxes sent out. These people would undoubtedly be keeping a close watch on what was happening in Cherry City.
Although John had affected the surrounding caras with machinery, what about outside the caras?
Edward’s appearance was enough to prove that this world has its ’Mystical Side.’
Jason was by no ans naïve enough to think that Edward was the only one who had mastery of the ’mystical.’
The variety of strange thods of the ’Mystical Side’ ensured that they would enter the sight of certain people.
Indeed, their information might already be laid out on the desks of so high-profile figures.
Whether such a result was good or bad, Jason didn’t know for the mont, but he did know that he couldn’t just sit around waiting for them to co knocking.
"The ’world’, huh?"
Brian muttered to himself. His career path had convinced him that Jason was absolutely not exaggerating.
John silently stroked Daisy’s head, and sensing her owner’s change in mood, Daisy stretched out and licked John’s palm, which brought him back to reality.
He smiled at Daisy first and then slowly said,
"I have a ’safe house’."
"It’s on the outskirts of Cherry City."
"I built it just in case, it should be safe enough—it’s located 500 ters underground, with a natural shield consisting of 300 ters of granite above it. I’ve prepared enough supplies for 25 people to survive for 5 years, as well as sufficient weapons and ammunition to protect ourselves."
"Just in case? You an to prepare for a ’nuclear flattening’, right?"
Brian couldn’t help but comnt.
As soone with a career path like Brian, he was also accustod to having his own ’safe house.’
And not just one.
But none as ’professional’ as John’s.
Facing Brian’s comnt, John simply curled up the corner of his mouth, accepting the remark.
Of course, he had prepared it for a ’nuclear flattening.’
And, he had specifically prepared for the most advanced bunker-busting bombs.
"I also have so ’safe houses’, and while they can’t compare with John’s, I believe the supplies and weapons there can be transported to his place."
"And mine."
McCaul, who had been leaning back in the chair, sat up, rubbing his stiff neck, and said with a grimace, "Couldn’t you guys find a bed? At least a pillow and blanket, right?"
McCaul grumbled softly, sounding almost like he was complaining.
"I thought you could hold on for a few more minutes."
Brian laughed.
He had noticed McCaul waking up a mont ago.
Breathing in sleep is completely different from when you’re awake.
And the middle-aged father was sure that Jason and John had noticed it too.
In fact, they had.
