Chapter 113 Debt
Aaron moved his gaze on the Fortress, turned around and walked away.
"You know what to do."
He said not looking back.
Protean channeled his demonic energy, forming a dark cloud above the Fortress... He stared at the cloud for some seconds, then followed behind Aaron.
BOOM!!!
A huge dark lightning fell from the cloud, turning the whole Fortress into ashes, and ruins.

Some distance away, Anna stood on a tree, her sword in hand, gaze fixed on the Burning Fortress.
With gritted teeth, she observed the two figures walking away.
"Who are you two?" She asked with killing intent, and added:
"The big boss won't be happy with this news, what should I do?" She sat down on the tree, thinking of ways to reveal this information to the Boss.
"What happened here?"
Anna jolted hearing the voice behind her, only one person can have such voice.
She stood up, and quickly turned around:
"Boss!!" She bowed.
Hovering above her was a figure in black outfit, and mask enclosing her face.
"Answer my question! What happened to the headquarters?!" The voice was filled with anger.
Anna quickly got down on her knees, and started:
"Two guys came to the headquarters, they were powerful, and destroyed everything... I alone managed to escape."
The Boss stared at her with narrowed eyes... She flew towards the Fortress, and Anna quickly stood up, and followed behind.
The Boss landed on the ground, and frowned seeing a Flag with the logo of a red sun.
"Huh?"
Anna was stunned.
"There's only one kingdom in whole of Elvis who has the flag."
"Terra." Anna muttered.
"Yes, and I'm guessing the two men are Aaron, and someone else... Someone powerful... It seems Terra is more powerful than we all thought." She said.
"What do we have here? I know you'll return."
The two looked over their shoulders, seeing Aaron and Protean smirking at them.
"Let's retreat, this flag Is graining our energies... Staying longer, we'll be weak."
Anna nodded with her Boss, and the two instantly disappeared.
Protean turned to Aaron:
"Master, why did you let them go?" He asked in mild confusion.
"Let them prepare, fighting weak enemies is boring... At least they now know who we are." Aaron smiled, and disappeared from the ruin fortress.
Protean moved his gaze around the place, and also disappeared.

[1 mile from Mott's Home.]
Aaron and Protean appeared before the group of three.
"What about the Academy? I heard the Dean and miss Kara are good people, they might help us... Think about it."
The Baron thought for a moment, and shook his head with a sad smile.
"If our son was a core student, they'll gladly help, but he's only an outer student... And we can't bring our son into this. This is my fault, and I'll take all the blame."
"Then how can I call myself your son?"
The two turned their heads towards the door, and was stunned seeing Mott, and three youngsters walking inside with him.
"Mott?!"
The woman stood up in shock, ran to her son and hugged him:
"Why are you here, Mott? Shouldn't you be in the Academy?"
She asked a little scared, with the issue at hand, why did their only child suddenly show up? With him in the Academy, he'll be safe, but now.
"Wait."
She calmed down her mind, separated from the hug, and observed Mott again.
"You? How did you reduce in fat? Did you follow your Father's advise and exercise more?"
"Nope, you know I can't do exercises, My friend here helped me." Mott said, turning to Aaron.
"SON!! When did you enter the core section?!"
The Baron stood up, he has been staring at the uniform his son and his friends were wearing... And he finally recognized it as the core section uniform.
"Oh? We're all core students." Mott answered with a smile, this was the reason he asked them to put on the uniforms.
"Wow! My son is so powerful!! But... Why are you here?" The Baron asked, trying to make his voice as calm as ever.
"I took a day off to come and see both of you, It has been a year and some months... I miss you two."
With tears in her eyes, she hugged her son tightly in her arms.
"Mum!"
Mott separated, and gestured to his friends.
"Oh?! It's nice meeting you all."
"Greetings, Baroness." The girls greeted.
"Oh, so beautiful... And please don't use honorific, you're my Son's friends... Honey, please introduce your friends to us." She said.
Even the Baron was interested: 'These three are all Core students, which means, they're from a powerful family or are powerful themselves...'
He was hoping for the two, or even one.
"Mum, Dad... This is Jack, he helped me enter the core section, and also helped with my fat... This beauty here is Lori, Jack's girlfriend... And This cute bunny here is my closest friend in school; Stellar."
"Wow!"
Out of everything their son said, they got only one; which is: Jack is the strongest here.
"Welcome, Do you need anything... Someone should bring--"
"--Hold on, Mum... What were you and dad talking about? And don't lie to me."
The two looked at one another, not knowing how to start...
The Baroness heaved a helpless sigh, and before she could say anything, Mott stopped her.
"I know everything, even before leaving for the Academy. You tried to hide it from me, but I overheard both of you, and even saw some things with that despicable man called Scar--"
"--Oh? I don't know someone is so disrespectful, I'll have to teach you some manners."
They all turned to the door, and was stunned speechless.
"This?"
