Chapter 37

"About you here Nina have it, it contains everything you need for project oblivion. Fund, influential people, weapons, fake identity. I had planned everything for the past 3 years. As for me, I guess it's our last meeting." Conner offered her a hard disk which he took out of his desk drawer.

"..." Nina receives it without asking any questions. Nina and others gave sadden and upset stares at him.

He understands their emotion but still says because this ending was not what he planned. "What…."

Feeling frustrated due to being powerless in the situation so Ela asked. "You are not even human so why are you fighting for us then?"

"I….. We don't even know you yet and still you persist to fight for us."

"You are an asshole!"

Few of them chose with more guts to speak and stayed to be vocal and true about their emotion.

Ignoring their rant he continued talking in a sagely tone.

"There are many things in the world and universe that don't make sense as long as you see it from a human perspective. And good luck girls for your future endeavours."

He further speaks in a genuine sorrowful tone as wanted to fix the small issue which may turn big if left unchecked. "The only regret I will have might be me being unable to guide you all, throughout the long and dark path I have created for you."

"And Nina looks after them on my behalf." Bidding his farewell to her, he patted on her shoulders.

"Yes, Boss. Try to come back alive." Nina said, trying to be optimistic.

Likeba wise sage and a philosopher he describes all his crew. "It's not like I have presumed that I will die if I fight against my brother, it is more like those who wield a sword alway should be prepared to die by it too."

"Shall we leave." With that said he and the unknown female sorceress left as she insisted upon departing.

Conner teleports both of them out; himself and the sorceress. Staying calm and quiet for a while, the tension rose sharply.

Both then looked at each other as they waited for the other to speak first.

"My name is Ancient one: earth protector, against the harmful supernatural world." She proclaimed wiseful manners as she removed her hood, revealing her face to him.

"You desire an alliance, right." Looking at her bald head and beautiful eyes, Conner answered as if with a glance he understood her intent.

She bowed respectfully for a moment and said. "Indeed, young prince."

"I have a condition," He started getting more serious pondering about what to task her with.

She earnestly responded to his words as she had an idea he will not work for humaity sake only. "As long as it is under my jurisdiction I will fulfil it."

"Oh it's simple, prove to me you are not working with him and protect my crew."

Acknowledging his condition as reasonable she replies. "That's quite inconvenient and hard to fulfil but still do-able."

Then she and Conner sign a deal with each other which may kick start a chain of trust in their alliance because a team without synergy is a big L team.

—-------4 hour later----------

"It's finally finished," Kara said, wiping off sweat from her fake forehead. "So now we all will wait for Conner?" Hera inquires as she lies down along with her identical twin sister.

"Indeed, after all he is the Master." Miranda spoke with authority to which everyone nodded or agreed silently because it was not a topic of discussion.

Miranda informs everyone as she sees Conner entering her domain. "He is here."

Others felt Conner existence or more like their connection with them getting stronger as well as someone new accompanying him so they waited for him to come and clarify.

"I'm back!" Conner announced his coming as lively as usual. "With a friend." Miranda mocked as she hates when Conner uses her domain like a 5 star motel for one night stand or adoption centre.

"Quite a warm welcome, Prince." Getting sassy, the Ancient one joked acting friendly.

"Here I thought someone as old a-" *ahem Attempting to make another joke about her age, he didn't dare to finish it as she was emitting deadly rage and dangerously glaring at him.

"Let's start the power up session girl, ignore her. She will accompany us for a while."
