Chapter 138: Choice (6)
In the end, those two easily convinced their parents and their friends after they told what happened. Still, they couldn’t just leave without saying anything, so Mark went to talk with Frank. Luke went with him as well to avoid problems. Luke wondered about how things would play out, but he had quite the surprise since Frank didn’t show any emotion on his face while he heard Mark talking.
“I see… that is most unfortunate,” Frank said after Mark explained the recent events.
Until now, Mark had followed his orders without caring about rank and whatnot, he just wanted to preserve as much of the country and rescue as many people as possible. However, it was evident that Frank was operating with other goals in mind as well.

After using Appraisal on Frank, Luke saw that. He used the same skill or ability that the owner of a crystal had to hide his status and skills… was that because that cloaked figure was around? Luke didn’t see them since the incident with the monster.
“Are you really going to throw away your duty to the country?” Frank asked.
“No, I will defend the country against enemies from inside and from outside,” Mark said. “However, after considering many of your actions, I am not sure if that is your goal. Even now, I am having a hard time controlling my anger from letting me jump into your throat and crush your neck after the order that you gave and almost got my son killed. Since he didn’t mention that, I decided not to do anything harsh as well, but I can see that as long as we work with you, you will continue keeping secrets and putting him in danger.”
Luke frowned when he heard that… Billy probably didn’t tell him that either. So, Amanda or Celia’s groups did that. Maybe they were forced to tell for some reason or the other, or they couldn’t hide from the people that helped them such an important event.
“Well, it doesn’t matter in one way or the other, as long as you don’t cause problems, then I will overlook your actions,” Frank said.
“We sure can sleep in peace after hearing that,” Luke said, sarcastically.
Frank decided to ignore that for whatever reason, but most likely, it was because Luke managed to defeat a beast that his soldiers didn’t even dare to approach after two of them got crushed in a single attack. In any case, since their conversation had ended. They left the tent. Luke thought that suddenly losing around ten survivors who were over level fifty would bother Frank, but that hadn’t been the case. He probably was confident because of his level… Even without thinking too much about it, it was evident to Luke that Frank had some kind of crazy skill that granted him the power to level up without leaving his base. It was insane, but Luke was pretty sure that he wasn’t the only one who received a powerful skill when the monsters appeared. Still, Frank’s skill’s rarity was probably above his.
Luke decided to look for Jennifer and talk with her about his leave, while he just brought her, and it seemed like a pain to move again, he felt like she was reasonable enough to understand his choices. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for him to find her and explain everything.
“You know… we aren’t just luggage that you can throw and move around whenever you feel the need,” Jennifer said while frowning..
“Well, sorry about that… but you don’t have to come if you feel better here, you don’t owe me anything,” Luke said.
“I am just joking…” Jennifer said. “In any case, if that really happened, then I don’t mind moving again. The atmosphere here is rather… is hard to call pleasant.”
Luke didn’t realize that, but it was probably because he never stayed there for long. In any case, at the end of the day, around eighty people had packed their things and were ready to follow Luke. That was way beyond his expectations… he thought that aside from his parents only ten or so people would come with him. He didn’t imagine that they had saved so many people while he was away.
“Do you have some place in mind that we can settle in?” Mark asked. “We know the region pretty well, so we might be able to select the best places.”
“There is this place where I stored my loot of my travels,” Luke replied. “While it is a bit small, we can find everything there and it is connected to all parts of the state. There is also a river nearby… even though the usual fish gave place to a new species of monster that can fire poison bullets.”
They frowned when they heard that. It didn’t seem like a good place to gather food like Luke apparently tried to make it be. Still, Jennifer and her group recalled spending a night on the place Luke has mentioned, and on that night as well, his loot had disappeared… He had stored his things there…
