Chapter 34 - Looking For The Other Star

Because the answer given by Aidan was very reasonable, Lucas agreed to the plan and invited Aidan to immediately meet the prisoners they had saved some time ago.

"Alright… Then, let's go find them right away!" Take Lucas to Aidan while extending his hand, Aidan nodded and shook Lucas' hand. The two of them disappeared from that place again, heading for the place where the prisoners of the Devil Rebel were.

Whoosh!

When they arrived at that place… Lucas and Aidan were surprised because the conditions they were in right now were beyond expectations.

In that place, where both of them were sure that they had left the freed captives behind, there was not even a single one of them showing which made Lucas and Aidan wonder where the captives had gone.

Aidan who saw this also wondered, "Is it possible if the government has found them here, and evacuated them?" That was the question that came out of Aidan's mouth that made Lucas shake his head as he exhaled slowly.

"I don't know Aidan, I'm not sure about that. But it can happen, can't it?" Aidan asked again, it was very clear that he had doubts about it. At that time, Aidan began to feel annoyed that he was too late to trust Lucas so that he lost the prisoners. He shrugged his shoulders and took a deep breath.

Not long after that, the two of them heard a voice called out to them. Which of course made them turn towards the forest beside the two at that time, Lucas glanced at Aidan who was also staring at him, making sure that they weren't the only ones who heard the call.

"Psssttt!" It was the call they heard that caught the attention of the two at this moment.

"Lucas… Did you hear that? Did someone just say Psst to us?" Aidan asked Lucas who nodded his head confirming the question because he heard it too. Lucas also sharpened his eyes to look more clearly at the forest that was no longer in the sun.

"Psstt!" And again, they heard that voice that made them feel curious, who was calling them. Lucas, who remembered that he was carrying a flashlight, immediately took the flashlight out of his backpack and turned on the flashlight, and then pointed it at the forest in front of them.

The two of them were quite surprised when they saw that the prisoners they had rescued were there. "Oh, there they are!" Aidan said to Lucas who nodded and turned off his flashlight again. The two of them immediately approached the people. But unlike what they expected, it turned out that they only met three people from the many prisoners they saved yesterday.

Lucas asked the three of them, "What happened? Why are there only three of you? Where are the others?" Lucas asked making the three men in front of Lucas and Aidan smile broadly. Aidan frowned as did Lucas when he saw this.

"We deliberately stayed here to make sure if you guys would come, we were afraid that you would look for us like what you are doing right now. Oh, my name is Marcus!" Answered the man named Marcus which made Aidan and Lucas nod their heads in response to the answer. But the explanation Marcus had just given them didn't answer the question that was running through Lucas and Aidan's heads. So Aidan asked the man in front of him again.

"Then where did they all go?" Aidan asked.

Marcus also answered Aidan's question slowly, "The State security has evacuated them, and tomorrow... We will be picked up by them." Marcus replied to Aidan.

This also became an opportunity for Aidan who wanted to convey things to the President. Aidan also turned to Lucas who nodded slowly as if he knew what was in Aidan's mind. "Good, because we have something that we will leave with you for the President. So I hope the three of you can convey this properly!" Aidan asked Marcus and the other two friends who immediately nodded their heads after they had previously frowned at those words.

Aidan began to explain one by one the things he wanted to convey to the President. Meanwhile, Marcus and his two other friends are currently listening to Aidan's entire explanation so they can remember. The three of course will help Aidan and Lucas who have saved them and are now planning to help the government in stopping the plot that has detained them and caused a lot of harm to the country as well as losses to individuals.

It took about twenty minutes for Aidan to explain to Marcus all the weaknesses of the Devil Rebel. Aidan turned to the man who was currently quite far from where they were talking at the moment.

"We got it, Aidan! Thank you for this information!" Said one of Marcus' friends who now made Aidan nod his head. He left in front of them and walked over to Lucas who was standing for waiting for him.

When Lucas noticed Aidan's presence he immediately straightened up and turned to Aidan.

"How? Have you finished explaining to them?" The question was asked by Lucas to Aidan who had just come to him. Aidan nodded in answer to the question, he also invited Lucas to say goodbye to Marcus and his two other friends because they had to leave that place.

When the two said goodbye, the three men looked confused. "Why don't you guys just stay here?" Marcus asked Lucas and Aidan, representing his two friends who nodded in agreement with Marcus' words.

Lucas who heard the question smiled then replied, "Because we have other tasks that we must complete." That answer also made Marcus and the other two people look at each other, then they nodded their heads accepting the reason Lucas gave them.

"Well, if that's the case… We can't stop you from leaving, can we? Hahaha, We pray that your task will be completed quickly, whatever the form of the task! And thank you for helping us." Said Lucas who gave a prayer accompanied by a thank you for the umpteenth time to Lucas and Aidan.

The two young men nodded then took a few steps back from the three who were still there and smiled at them. Lucas and Aidan also smiled back, Lucas' outstretched hand on Aidan made the man glance at the hand for a moment and immediately grabbed it.

Wow!!

One second later, the two of them disappeared from before the three people they had saved earlier.

That night, Lucas and Aidan were walking on the edge of a highway in the middle of a city that was familiar to Lucas, but very foreign to Aidan. Because this was the first time Lucas had stepped out of the Devil Rebel's territory, which made him feel unfamiliar with all the things he had just seen.

"Now, all we have to do is find a place to rest," Lucas said to Aidan, and when he felt that his words were not heard by Aidan, Lucas turned to the side to look at Aidan who was not beside him at that time. Making Lucas confused and turned left and right to find where Aidan was.

Lucas finally found Aidan who was now standing at the end of the city park with his head tilted upwards. Currently, he was staring at a large screen showing a piece of news about the ambush being carried out by the government-assisted by other countries in besieging the Devil Rebel rebel group.

Aidan and Lucas, especially Aidan, because he was once one of the members who joined the plot.

Lucas who saw Aidan's silence who saw the news could only exhale slowly, he then walked over to the man.

"Am I a person who belongs to the group of people who deserve to be eliminated like Vernandes, Lucas?" Aidan immediately asked Lucas a question, when the man arrived and stood beside him.

Lucas immediately shook his head at the question, because he didn't think Aidan was guilty. Aidan is just a victim who is used by Vernandes and the evil gang of Devil Rebel.

"No Aidan… You're different from them. We're both different from them, and that's why I took you away from there." Lucas answered  Aidan who immediately turned to look at Lucas when he heard a very friendly answer from Lucas to him.

"…" Aidan was silent for a while, before finally looking back at Lucas and asking, "Then… What are we going to do next?" That was the question Aidan asked Lucas that made Lucas take a deep breath and stare ahead with his chest outstretched. Standing tall like a soldier preparing.

Without looking at his interlocutor, Lucas answered Aidan's question. "We have to find the whereabouts of the other stars, Aidan!" Aidan's forehead wrinkled when he heard the answer Lucas gave which he didn't quite understand. Lucas, who had already answered, turned to Aidan and saw the man was confused, which finally made Lucas realize that Aidan had not understood what he was saying because he had never heard him.

"We have to find the same people as us, Aidan. Because it would be dangerous if they were raised in the same territory as yours. You know what the Devil Rebel's life is like, right? Um… You know better, but I don't think that's good." Lucas said to Aidan who was currently exhaling and nodded understanding what Lucas just said and what Lucas meant by asking that.
