Chapter 173: The Uprising

Ray was a leader now. It was like this whole event had given him a wake-up call. 

His team's life and the mission was his responsibility more than it was of his team. He was also influenced by his fleeting emotions because of his savior's death.

"Riya, give me my phone," He told Riya. He had left his phone back before he had gone undercover.

Riya returned the phone. 

Ray first called the captain to give him the update about the events that unfolded here, and he also told him to send more people so that they could search for the bodies of the ones that died in the blast if their bodies were still intact.

Some distance away from the location of the blast was a small hotel where Ryder's room was booked.

He appeared in the room with Okala because of the effects of the talisman.

"Sigh, it's not home, but it's the next best thing," Ryder muttered as he glanced around the room.
