My Angel system

"I wasn't exactly sure she was underage but you came by and clarified that for me, thank you." The man with a scar on his face said moving closer to Carl and Diana who had their hands chained to the floor with the strange blue chain.

"Come on Diana, you could have told me that you didn't tell him anything," Carl muttered to her. "I could have talked my way out of this, besides you don't even look that underage."

"If I had told you, he would have still found out," Diana said.

"Yeah, that's right," Carl muttered. "If we get out of this, remind me to establish a secret communication code so that things don't always end up like this."

"The boss will be really happy once I bring in a fresh and nice-looking asset for him." The man said, running his fingers down her cheek.

None of the people in the bar dared intervene as there were four men dressed in black standing in the area now while Festus was watching from the counter.

"Get your hand off her," Carl said, gritting his teeth.

"I don't think you'll be of any use to us." The man said, turning his gaze to Carl.

"Diana," Carl called with his gaze on the floor.

"Yeah," Diana answered with a terrified voice.

"Grab onto me, fast!"

She quickly did as she was told as Carl got a firm grip on her and spun her toward the man to knock him down.

As soon as the man was down, he pulled out the dagger in his pocket and struck it down on the chain.

That was an act of desperation as he didn't expect that to do anything but to his greatest surprise, the blue energy shield broke and vanished.

"Hey, get up." He said quickly helping her up but before they could take any step they were already surrounded.

A spear, a scythe, and two swords were pointing at them from all four directions.

"Don't touch the girl, kill him." The man ordered slowly getting up from the floor.

"No!!" Diana screamed as the four of them thrust their weapons toward the knight but before the weapons could get to him, the whole area got covered by a flash of white light.

It didn't take long before the light cleared up to reveal that Carl and Diana were no longer there and the four men who had thrust their weapons toward Carl had pierced each other's throat with their weapons.

The people in the bar let out loud gasps as four of the men dropped to the floor.

The scarred man had a horrid expression on his face as he stared at the men who were lying on the floor with their weapons stuck in each other's throats.

The military jet had just reached Phoenix academy now and was heading toward the landing space in the barracks.

The soldiers in the area saw the jet fly past them and started making their way toward the area to welcome their colleagues from another continent.

The jet landed safely in the large landing space and it didn't take long before the door opened for Layla and Bryan to make their way out first.

"Hello, Lieutenants." The sergeant in front said as soon as the Lieutenants got closer to them.

"Where's Iris?" Bryan asked before the sergeant could say anything else.

"Lieutenant Iris is at the stadium, she put me in charge of welcoming you." The sergeant said.

It didn't take long before Jude and the elf twins made their way out of the jet along with the pilot who was a sergeant.

"Okay," Bryan said, already moving out of the area as Layla followed him.

Jude and the elf twins got strange stares from the sergeants in the area as they walked past them but they completely ignored them as they hurried to catch up with the two Lieutenants.

"Tauriel," Layla called as soon as they were out of the barracks.

"Yeah," Tauriel said, moving closer to her.

"Tablet."

"Yeah," Tauriel said before handing her the tablet she was holding.

The homepage of the device was being displayed on the tablet now, she didn't want anyone apart from them to know what they were using the tablet for.

"So which way's the stadium or whatever that guy said?" Jude asked.

"That's where we are heading," Layla said.

"Is that…"

"Yeah, that's where Tania and a lot of other students from different academies and this one are currently," Layla said.

"The place is huge so you guys should put this on," Bryan said, handing them the earpieces in his hand. "Use them whenever you need to tell us something and we'll use them whenever we want to tell you guys something."

"Wait, are we splitting up?" Tauriel asked.

"Not now but it will happen eventually," Layla said. "And if that happens you guys should remember to act just the way I told you to and don't do anything suspicious."

"Okay," Jude said with a nod.

"Tuchel," Bryan called looking at Tuchel who was standing a little distance behind them as he was lost in looking around the area.

"I'm sorry, it's just that this place is really huge," Tuchel said with an amazed look on his face.

"It's called the largest academy for a reason," Layla said. "Come on, let's go."

"Hey, please let me know as soon as the sun starts setting over there," Jude said before she took a step forward.

"I wouldn't forget to," Layla said with a smile before turning to continue her walk forward as Jude and the twins followed from behind.

The presidential house of Eukerion was one of the most sophisticated buildings on the continent.

It had that castle look and feel with a very large fence surrounding it.

The sounds of a roaring car engine could be heard as the large black gates automatically opened for a black Toyota Rav4 to drive out before the gates automatically closed up.

The car stopped in front of the gate as the driver wanted to pick up a call.

"Hello, Theophilus." The man putting on a corporate black suit said after placing the phone against his ear.

"I know I should have been there by now but I had a lot of things to deal with back here."

While the man was speaking with Theophilus through the phone, a thick purple smoke entered the car from below and was now heading toward him.

"Okay…"

He wasn't able to complete what he wanted to say as the purple smoke covered him and was now choking him.

He struggled for his breath but he couldn't struggle for long as he eventually passed out after a few seconds.

The smoke got thicker after he dropped to the floor and then slowly formed into someone who looked exactly like him but he had a purple glow in his eyes which didn't take long to clear out.

He adjusted his collar and looked forward before he started to hear Theophilus' voice coming from the phone on the floor as the call was still ongoing.

"James, James are you still there?"

He slowly picked up the phone and placed it against his ear.

"I'm coming, Theophilus." He said before dropping the phone on the seat by the side.

He stared ahead for a while before starting the car and zooming off.
