Chapter 4
Justice of the Yellow
That was a woman, a woman with golden eyes, she had a slim body and oval face that really suited with her gold silky hair. She was a very beautiful young woman, but she didn't seem weak. Something in her eyes made Lucas feel the strength and solid.
"Nice to meet you, young lady, may I help you?" Ivan asked her with his untrusty smile again.
But suddenly, the yellow eyes woman pointed the pistol at them, she walked closer and closer.
"This's an officer laser pistol, I can kill both of you before you can use your ESP," said she. It seemed she also knew who she dealt with. "Send me your watch, I wanted to check."
"Check? Don't you believe our destiny meeting?" said Ivan.
"I believe what I believe."
"Another stubborn child," Ivan complained, but before they could discuss more, all of them listened to the strange sound.
At that moment, above them, the drones beamed lasers to them. Ivan opened his barrier for the three of them and used his power to interrupt the mechanical controller of drones, suddenly, all of them destroyed themselves and exploded in the sky.
"That's the first move, come with us young lady, you've no time to think," he persuaded her, and it seemed she knew exactly what she should do.
"Bad guy!" said she.
However, they had no time to move forward, now above them many drones appeared and beamed laser-like rain bucketing down, no way to run!
But they had Esper. The creature that could cheat all powers!
Ivan had no hesitation, he used his power to mechanical psychokinesis to influence the system of all drones again, now all of them were exploding and the power controlled all communication systems around here. He used his power like he opened his show-time, and it seemed his performance was great.
Although both Lucas and the woman felt sick about him, his strength was true. He was an unbelievable powerful Esper.
"Now, it's time to go," Ivan said and then his eyes were brighter, he used his teleport again!
Not only two persons but three!
When everyone noticed, all of them were moved to another place, in the desolate robot factory.
"Are you alright?" Lucas asked Ivan, although he didn't understand all his capacity, as he knew, the power Ivan used that too much for a normal Esper.
"Do you feel sorry?" Ivan asked back and smirk.
"I'm worried about you! Don't mock me!" Lucas knew that Ivan still thought about his words. "I'm sorry about what I have said, but don't do this!"
"Don't take it seriously, my dear Lucas," he said and laughed a little.
Now, they had no time to waste, but the woman in front of them was the key. She also felt a little bit awkward.
"I'm sorry to suspect both of you, I've just been afraid that the royal army may try to trick me, as you know, this was the important data," said she.
"So you really had the data," Ivan said "Then, send it to me, I'll bring it back to the group and.."
"No"
"?"
At that moment, the woman stared at them with her strong eyes. She knew that both of them may think she was silly, but this was also her personal problem. This data was as important as her life too.
"I can only confirm that both of you rebel, but it can't guarantee that my brother's data be safe in the hand of the rebel, in this situation,"
What she said brought tension between all of them, Lucas could feel that Ivan felt angry, he still smiled back but he was actually irate.
"Oh! You've said your brother, it means…" Lucas interrupted the conversation, he knew that he had to do something. And this was a good question. Maybe he could change their emotion and create a better atmosphere.
"Yes, the one who died is my elder brother, and you…," she stared at Lucas with hesitation, but suddenly it seemed she noticed something, "no, it's not you, I'm not going to be fooled by the empire again, sorry, I'm not going to suspect you. I'm Rene, Rene Anderson," she introduced herself and rose her hand for Lucas.
But immediately, Lucas was stunned.
"Are you Rene Anderson? the attorney who filed a lawsuit against Robert Carter?" Lucas asked back.
"ah…y…yes…," she also felt afraid. She herself understood what this question meant.
At the moment, Lucas swatted her hand away, he felt angry and disgusting from the bottom of his heart.
"He's one of us! He didn't do anything wrong except criticize the government! How dare you suited him for the death penalty!" Lucas shouted at her, he always remembered her name, it was the name of the attorney who was the reason why they had to protest today!
"It's my duty!" said Rene.
"No! It's your fault! You're a coward! You're the emperor's lapdog!"
"It doesn't mean I want to do! It's my job!"
Now, the situation seemed ridiculous, Ivan may feel annoyed but didn't hate Rene, in contrast, Lucas seemed furious. And Rene seemed to want to cry. To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he felt helpless.
"Dear Lucas, my young lady Rene, why don't we have some discussion? Please calm down," Finally, it was Ivan who acted as an elderly brother to disrupt their argument. However, both Lucas and Rene also had something in their mind.
Something that could not change easily.
"I have nothing to talk with her," said Lucas
"But I have!" Rene shouted.
How boring! Ivan screamed in his mind!
And then, they talked, Rene accepted that she was the attorney who filed a lawsuit against Lucas's friend, Robert Carter, Lucas couldn't control his angrily.
"I'm sorry, I know you can't forgive me, but I'm really sorry for my fault and my own people," not only herself, but she meant all attorneys on duty. "But you should understand our situation, if we didn't, our families would die."
"Your family can't die, but the other can," Lucas retorted, they always had this kind of argument with the officers, "the police also said like you, and what the reason we have the police, attorney or judge? All of you only dealt with simply cases no any tension, your justice was so pity."
His words made Rene feel angry too, she thought this guy was so egoist, he didn't accept the other's circumstances, only self-centric!
"How about my brother? He fought against the emperor's government, and what he get? He died like an unnamed corpse and was torn pieces! Do you want everyone to die like him? Are you going to let everyone die?" Suddenly, she cried with fury.
Rene was an attorney, and she knew what had happened with people who confronted the power. It didn't mean there was no one tried to go against orders, but all of them had disappeared,
It was an enforced disappearance.
"And why don't you send me the data, and you can run away," Ivan asked, it seemed that the army knew she was the sister of the one who died last night. She couldn't live ignorance like the past, but she still had the solution.
She may surrender the data to the army or send it to the rebel for her safety.
"No! This is what my brother gave his life for, I'm not going to give it to you, especially in the group that had a betrayer!"
Betrayer?
In the rebel has a traitor!
