1 Missing

Somewhere.

In a Conference Room.

"Okay, got it."

A man spoke in a device sitting on a seat close to the center.

"so, is it true?", a weird-looking alien asked that man.

"It is confirmed that Paul has been M.I. A as of 22nd of March 6789 Union Calendar,". Declared that man.

There was a large round table with a large circumference. On the table, there were a total of thirteen seats, and each one had a person sitting in them, all apart from one. It was a mixture of men and women, and they all looked all sorts of ages.

Even though there are 12 members in that room there is no sound after listening to that man.

Absolute Silence...

"Old First, you don't have to worry about your beloved disciple. That kid just destroyed civilization with one strike no one in the younger generation can defeat him,". Said the man who declared the news to the person sitting at the center.

"I am not worried about him. I'm thinking about the next steps. Anyway Eight, you negotiate with a Union that we'll compensate the people who survived that destruction and pay the penalty for causing a massacre. Third, if any organization tries to put pressure on us by using this, Show no mercy. You can use any resources you want.

This would be enough for this issue. Others can continue with your own duties as usual. The meeting is adjourned. You can leave". Issuing commands the First's Holographic image faded away leaving the room. Immediately followed by thirteen.

"What a nuisance. We should punish him severely next time." said that alien who is also called third looking at others, but there is no response from them. "Why aren't you guys telling anything". This time there is a response.

"Because we are not confident enough to punish him".

At this time a person is waiting outside a room, knocking on its door. "Come in", a dominant voice came from the other side of the door.

"Your Majesty", are the first words that came out of his mouth looking at this old man.

"You are no longer a general under me Armstrong. You are one of the 13 kings now. You should have the attitude of a king, not a subordinate. Understand." Lectured the old man.

"Yes, Sir."This is the only response given by Soze Armstrong, the 13th.

Old First just sighed with that response and asked, "what's the matter?".

"Sir, I have to tell you something about Master Paul". seeing old first's face turning into a clear frown, Armstrong immediately continued,

"Master Paul is safe but got heavily injured." hearing this made that frowning face back to that previous calmness.

" I know he is safe. But why didn't he met me? At least a message on his current status would suffice. What is that kid thinking?" Said old first.

"About that, sir. Master Paul said that his presence would bring more trouble to you and our organization. So he will go into hiding for some time and come back after the commotion toned down." thirteen completed Paul's message to Old First.

Hearing this made Old First felt assured and asked thirteen, "Did he said where he will go into 'Seclusion'?".

"Oh! yes, He said that he will go back to his home planet,", answered thirteen.

"That punk. He just wants to go back to his home. Knowing that I won't let him. He used this commotion as a facade to go there. Now I get it why he left without a word to me, his own master."

"Sir, why don't you let him go there and always restrict his communications to once every year".

"You need not know about this" is the only reply thirteen got. He wanted to shut himself up without asking further questions, but he continued.

"My son Leonard went with master Paul. I can't stop getting worried because of this."

"The place where Paul came from is not dangerous, but there is something abnormal over there I can't figure out. Anyway, you don't have to worry, both of them will be fine considering their power. You can leave now."

Thirteen regained his calm composure and left with giving a bow to Old First looking at the bustling city from this room at the top of a building which is over 4000 meters tall.

This is Kings City, an artificial planet that solely belongs to The Kings organization, one of the most powerful entities of this universe.
