Chapter 29

After going by different buildings such as businesses, housings, parkings and other stuff that almost made Sam forget he was in a military base he arrived in front of a mid-sized gymnasium, it was approximately the size of a basketball stadium and it didn't have a roof so the sunlight naturally lightened it up, as he walked in, Sam saw people sitting on the ground by groups of 4 or 5.

In a corner of the room he recognized his old friend, Edward. He was leaning against a wall and he was so tall that Sam didn't have any difficulty finding him, he walked towards him and saw he wasn't alone.

There was Ella who he knew already after fighting the grade three beast together, and he recognized the two other faces too, Sarah and Sid who were with him in the hospital, although they hadn't talked a lot he wouldn't forget about them so soon.

As soon as they saw Sam, Sarah and Sid lofted their hand to their temple in a salute, on the other hand Edward and Ella just smiled, in fact they all had to salute him since he was their direct superior but Edward just didn't want to as he felt awkward and Ella knew that Sam wanted to refuse that promotion so she believed it was ok.

"Sergeant Sam."

Ella smiled and greeted, her soft voice reached Sam's ear and he smiled back. He had an extremely good opinion of this woman, both because of her good looks and personality but also because of her talent and extreme strength.

"Hi everyone, you can rest. No need to salute with me."

He looked at Sarah and Sid who instantly relaxed, they already knew his personality a little bit and believed that he wouldn't care even if they didn't salute him but the rules were the rules and they were soldiers !

"Sam, let's talk."

Edward grabbed Sam's shoulder and pulled him far away to the side so that nobody could hear them, he then looked around himself to check if somebody was eavesdropping, when he was sure of himself he whispered close to Sam's ear:

"I looked for you for the last three days to ask you this, where are you staying ?"

"Oh yeah I wasn't assigned a place to stay yet, I was home and I turned off my phone to focus on some stuff."

Since Sam had started training in the dream world and crafting the items he had completely forgotten about the real world and of course also forgot to charge his phone, that was why all of Edward's calls had been ignored.

"I see, what happened that day ? I felt like it wasn't you fighting the beast."

Sam looked at Edward's eager eyes and smiled wryly, he hated lying to this brother of his but at the same time he wanted to keep Mechy a secret for the moment, Mechy was his passport to greatness, if he lost it for some reason he would have to work a thousand times harder and although he didn't mind that also meant a longer time of training and he would have to push back his revenge against Ates clan.

Edward looked at him and understood that his friend was in a hard spot but he didn't say anything, he waited until Sam decided on his own of what to do.

"Sorry bro, it's a secret."

Sam finally decided himself and looked determinedly at Edward who smiled wryly at his turn, he kind of expected this answer but he really was too curious about that phenomenon and wanted to know if he could also do it, he had seen Sam fighting and if he could do that too then he would become a killing machine !

"Alright alright, let's go back to the team. They will soon dispatch us to the battlefield they said."

Edward said and pulled Sam together with him, even when wearing his new set of items Sam was still physically weaker than Edward and that made him wonder, what kind of weird bloodline was that ?

Also, he knew Edward's family extremely well since he had grown up with them but Edward was the only one with an unusual strength since birth, his siblings were just cute and naughty little demons so he guessed it was a rare gene that had luckily been passed down to Edward out of all his siblings.

'Mechy, how strong will Edward be when his bloodline fully awakens ?'

[It might never awaken, the probability of it doing so is as low as 0.1%.]

'How come ?'

[This drop of bloodline is extremely diluted, his alien ancestor must be at least 5000 years old.]

Sam rolled his eyes, wasn't Mechy supposed to be an extremely advanced machine ? How can it not think of this ?

'Mechy, humans were still on Earth five thousand years ago, they didn't know even have a proof of extraterrestrial existence at the time !'

[Do you think I'm stupid ? I'm way smarter than you dumbass. Of course I know that, I already studied all human history through the internet. That can only mean that these aliens had been to earth at the time.]

Sam wanted to throw a fit at Mechy for being called a dumbass but held back, he didn't want to be brought to the dream world suddenly, he looked at his friend who was calmly walking next to him and sighed. If he could help him awaken his bloodline he would do it, the first reason was to have Edward help him during his revenge against the Ates clan, they weren't some random pushover but one of the strongest clan of humans in the universe !

The second reason was just because he was his brother, he didn't need anymore than that to help him get stronger.

As soon as Sam and Edward joined the rest of the group, a man walked in the gymnasium wearing a military uniform with a lot of medals attached to his chest, he swiped everyone with his eyes until they got onto Sam, he looked at him way longer than any other person and nodded, then he said:

"Everyone is getting dispatched right now, get in the vehicle that had been assigned to your team. You will be dropped from the sky into the mountains, your mission is to find the teleport station and make it explode with the bombs that are in your vehicles as soon as possible ! The longer you take, the more civilians will die ! Good luck."

The man solemnly left the gymnasium and Sam and the rest followed behind him, behind the gymnasium where there was a big parking lot there were now tens of helicopters ready to go.
