Chapter 885 885: Finding Aliac
"Thousands of years old?" The dark haired man repeated in disbelief. "I see, you do know how to joke."
"Anyway, did you lose your friend in this area?" he further asked as he looked back at the reaction of the group.
"Urgh..." he smiled wryly, seeing no confirmation in their reaction. "Did you at least lose him in this city?"
The reaction remained the same. It was clear that they didn't know if their friend was in this city.
"This state?" The man asked.
"Not sure," Gabriel answered after a long time.
The dark haired man's expressions turned weird, almost on the verge of clawing his skin. "Please tell me you are sure that you lost him in this country?"
Gabriel shrugged in response.
"For God's sake, please tell me he is at least on this continent?" the man asked, his voice getting louder.
"Are you messing with me?" He couldn't control his emotions anymore. "How is anyone supposed to find your friend if you don't even know the continent in which he was lost?"
"Are you saying that the Police Station can't help us?" Gabriel asked, taken aback. He thought it was going to be easy to find Aliac without taking drastic steps.
"Argh, you people know magic but you don't seem to have any common sense. Are you from another world or something?" he sarcastically asked.
"Indeed we are." Gabriel nodded, making the man freeze in place.
"W-w-what?" the man stuttered, trying to find a response. These people were from another world? How was that even possible? Were the other planets in the solar system even inhabitable?
"Please tell me you're joking?" he asked, slightly scared now.
"You're not our friend for us to jest with you," Cyclix stated, seemingly amused by the man's reaction. "Though it is surprising that you people didn't know about the existence of other worlds. Weren't you attacked just recently by Ezekiel? How could you not know?"
"Attacked? Ezekiel? Who are you talking about?" The man didn't understand what these people were talking about. Were they supposed to know something? What attack?
"It seems someone has messed with your memories," Karyk stepped forward, realizing what was happening. He already had a feeling that something was wrong with the people of this world and now he was certain.
He stepped forward and placed his hand over the man's head. The man froze in place, his body refusing to move. He felt a headache, as if some mysterious force was invading his mind.
Not only did Karyk remove the force that was keeping the man's memories restricted, but when he was at it, he also read his memories to gather more information about this world.
"I see. So that's why he pulled us to the side..." Karyk removed his head, understanding a lot of things about this world and its laws.
The man dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his eyes as he remembered all the horrifying things from the time their world was attacked by godly beings. He couldn't believe that he had forgotten about something like that.
He also remembered seeing Gabriel when their world was attacked. Realizing these people were invaders, he was horrified. He tried to crawl away from them, scared out of his wits.
The ordinary citizens around them looked at the man crawling on the ground in confusion.
"Is he putting on a play? His acting is quite good."
With time, a lot of attention was gathered on the man who finally managed to stand up and ran away from there.
This time, he wasn't pulled back. Gabriel freed the man from the loop, realizing that they didn't need him anymore.
"Did you find out where we need to go?" he asked Karyk.
"I do..." Karyk nodded. In the man's memories, he had seen the godly beings that had stopped the invasion. One of them was Janus, a being from the Realm of Heaven. The other person was unknown and definitely not from heaven.
In the man's memories, Karyk also saw a lot of information about that man who was no less than a celebrity on this earth. Almost everyone knew the face of that person, who was the wealthiest person in the world.
Karyk also understood why the man had erased everyone's memories.
Since the man was very famous, his address was also in the public domain. That made it easy to find him.
"So where are we going now?" Gabriel asked Karyk who appeared to be lost in some thought.
"We're going to meet him." Karyk waved his hand, opening a portal to the location. Unfortunately, he felt some resistance when he did that.
There was some barrier preventing direct teleportation to that place. He changed the coordinates of the other side of the portal.
The portal opened right outside a wealthy part of a distant city. The entire area was owned by the person and also protected by him.
It was said that even cops weren't allowed to enter that place without special permission from the higher ups. It was truly owned by the person, without any government intervention.
....
At the present moment, Aliac was sitting inside a luxurious mansion on earth, unaware that there were some people looking for him.
In front of him, there stood a man who looked like he was only in his late twenties, even though he was much older.
"Are you really not going to side with us?" Aliac asked. "I've been trying to convince you for over a week, yet you just don't agree. Do you not understand how dangerous it will be for everyone when that day arrives?"
"I told you, I'm not interested in dealing with your matters." The man didn't even bother being kind with his replies.
Nevertheless, his gaze softened as he looked at Aliac.
"I understand your concerns, but I have my own path to follow," he said calmly. "You can leave now."
"I will keep coming until you say yes." Aliac stood up and prepared to leave.
"Are you sure? The next time you come, I might just kill you." The man's cold voice echoed in the hall.
