Throne Of World 76 Ch 76 | Something Wasn't Right About That Place

Hearing his words, their movement stopped and they turned back. "Brother Alexander should have reached us already. We weren't moving that fast." Another guy with a strong big body spoke. He was obviously Jacob, friend of 'Little Fatty aka Alexander Joseph'.

"Did he proceed on the straight road from where we turned?" Another guy with a common face joined in. What he said resonated with everyone's thoughts at that movement and thus they nodded their heads. 

While they left Alexander behind, they turned and changed their direction taking an unused road covered with leaves. It's not surprising that Alexander took a wrong ordinary path.

"Then… should we go and find him?" Joe one pondered for a while and then asked. Although Alexander behaved unnaturally and was kinda perverted, he was still their teammate. They can't let their teammate alone, it was against the rules and morales of the military.

"Hmm…" Jacob was most concerned about Alexander. He knew about his friend's strength very well. Listening to Joe, his eyes lit up while he hummed in approval and was about to nod his head when a cold voice interrupted.

"Let's not waste our time. We are already quite deep into the forest. You people set up ambushes and wait for targets to appear, while in that time, I will quickly go and bring that boy back."

Jacob turned his head towards the speaker and saw the ice cold and expressionless gaze of Isabella. Just by looking at her gaze, he can feel her despise towards Alexander. 'Is she going to take this chance and finish Brother Alexander?' He questioned himself before shaking his head and dispelling his thoughts.

The name of Isabella Davis was famous throughout the academy. Although cold and indifferent, she was someone who follows rules and imprints military morales in their daily life. How can she be such a petty person? There must be some other reason.

Similar thoughts traveled through the minds of Joe and Doe. The trio became silent and started thinking.

Isabella who was standing in front, sensed something was off and explained herself, "It's like this. While we were there around that place where we got separated from him, I sensed something wasn't right. I'll go and check that and, on the way back I'll also fetch him." 

Sure enough, she also realised about the presence of  something unusual at that place. But, why didn't she announce that then and there? That's because of Alexander, the guy who suddenly started shouting about mating out of thin hair. Her mood was not good, and she just wanted to leave that 'little pervert' alone and not bother with him.

"Senior Isabella, if something is wrong about that place. We all should go back and have a look at it. How can you go alone?" Jacob said in worry. If there was really something wrong, Alexander may be in danger, 'No, I can't let something happen to my brother.'

Isabella shook her head and replied sternly, "No, you all stay here and wait. If I am alone and something is really off, I can escape with that boy. But, if you all follow me back, I will not be able to protect everyone."

"But…" Not satisfied by the response, Jacob wanted to insist. But, a heavy hand patted over his shoulder. "Jacob, stay here. Senior Isabella is saying true. Although it shouldn't be any grave dagger, we still need to remain careful. If she says she can escape and bring Alexander back, then she can."

Isabella Davis was the most experienced one in the team. And military laws suggests, listening to the commands of seniors and experienced comrades is most beneficial.

"Hmm… ok then. Senior, please bring back my brother." Jacob finally let go. 

It wasn't that he was unaware of the situation or he was doubtful about Isabella's capabilities. He was just too worried about his friend.

"Hmm… I'll be back soon. You guys stay safe here and don't move deeper into the forest." Isabella said, before her body disappeared into the woods, with swiftness.
