Chapter 75 - Judging

WUSSSHH!!

Marla was eventually brought by Nick, Lucas, and Wilson to Nick and Queen's residence. And seeing the arrival of the four, made Queen and Aidan who was still waiting to hear from them finally feel happy, after realizing that the three of them had succeeded in bringing Marla along with the three.

…

The day went by so fast, that night Nick asked them all to gather in a room with a round table in the room, or rather the room was exactly like a meeting room.

"So… what are we going to discuss tonight?" A question that sounded very enthusiastic that was said by Aidan that night, made Lucas who was beside him now chuckle and shake his head in response to those words.

"We'll discuss our plans tomorrow, Aidan!" said Nick to Aidan who smiled and nodded his head,

"Are you sure you'll come back looking for them, Nick?" a question asked by Marla, made Nick turn his gaze and then nodded his head in response to the question asked by Marla at that time.

"Yeah… I think Lucas said the obvious to you, Marla!" said Nick to Marla who was now exhaling and nodding again there.

"So what are we going to talk about, Nick?" A question that was asked by Lucas at that time made Marla who was about to be annoyed now sat down beside Wilson and then chose not to speak anymore, while Nick now turned his gaze to Lucas and asked,

"Where was the last time you saw Vernon as well as Kendrick, Lucas?" a question that was asked by Nick at that time made Aidan now frown upon hearing those words, which then Aidan now said,

"Who are they, Vernon and Kendrick?" Aidan asked Nick, which made Nick now turn his gaze to Aidan while saying,

"The fire and the lightning, Aidan." Nick replied to Aidan who was now nodding his head in response to that, and while Lucas was now looking at the map laid out on the round table by Queen, Lucas then pointed to the south and exactly where he met Vernon and Kendrick,

"This is the forest where we meet them, Nick!" Lucas said to Nick who was now exhaling and then nodded his head in response to that.

"Will they stay in the same place?" a question asked by Wilson, making Nick who was silent now shook his head in response to the question,

"No, Wilson… I know them very well, they wouldn't be living in the same place… but they won't move as fast as we move either, because we have teleportation here, and they. I bet they don't!" Nick explained to Wilson which made all of them who were there now nod their heads, agreeing with what Nick had said at that time.

"So… do you think you know where they are right now, Nick? Because I think you predicted it!" Nick's eyes now turned to look at Marla who had just asked, which made Nick now nod his head while pointing towards the surrounding forest, where it was a border between a burning forest and a small village, which made Lucas squint his eyes to see the area.

"I am one hundred percent sure that they are temporarily settling in a nearby village!" said Nick to those who now looked at Nick's index finger which was pointing at the area.

"So they're supposed to be there?" asked Aidan, which made Nick nod his head.

"Yes!" replied Nick, which made Lucas now nod his head and then say,

"Then we will go tomorrow and today we rest here, right Nick?" Lucas asked Nick who was now smiling and then shook his head and said,

"No… we'll be away an hour from here! Get ready!" Nick said to Lucas who was now frowning before finally, Lucas nodded his head after feeling that Nick's words needed to be followed at this time.

"Get ready everyone, an hour from here we will go to the territory we just got!" said Nick to those who also nodded their heads following his words,

"Oh, Queen ... you together with Marla prepare food and clothes, I will bring my money!" said Nick to Queen who now nodded his head in response to the order, and that day they immediately prepared to leave even though Lucas felt that he needed a break at this time because his body was very tired.

…

Because Lucas had nothing to do at that time, he sat on the long sofa tired. He was trying to recover his strength, and when he realized something warm was still from his left shoulder, Lucas finally turned his head to look at Aidan who was apparently recovering from Lucas' condition who looked very tired at the moment.

"I know you are tired…. why didn't you tell me?" Aidan asked Lucas who now chuckled at that and then said,

"Because I know, if I asked you, you would protest and ask Nick to rest!" Lucas said to Aidan who was now frowning and then said,

"But isn't that how it should be? You who are very busy these days, he should know and give you time to rest even if it's one day!" Aidan explained to Lucas who was now chuckling and then said,

"He gave me an hour to rest, Aidan!" Lucas said to Aidan who shook his head, not knowing how to respond to Lucas.

"I don't really like his character, Lucas… that guy is too arrogant and too authoritarian… why is he acting like he's the boss here?" Aidan muttered to Lucas who was now smiling a smile before finally saying,

"Because it's Aidan ..." Lucas said to Aidan who was now frowning at Lucas as if Aidan didn't understand what Lucas was saying at this point.

Seeing that Aidan was confused, Lucas looked at him and said, "He's the leader of us, he's the leader of the eleven fallen stars!" Lucas explained to Aidan who was now chuckling as if he couldn't believe it and then shook his head in response.

"I don't agree with him being our leader, Lucas… I don't think anyone will like him if he stays like that!" said Aidan to Lucas who was now chuckling at Aidan's words at that time.

"Do you have the same thoughts as Wilson?" Lucas asked Aidan who was now frowning,

"What did Wilson say?" Aidan asked Lucas who was now saying,

"He said you and he didn't like Nick, more than you didn't like me!" Lucas explained and made Aidan now chuckle and shake his head,

"No… no… there's a difference between me and Wilson, Wilson doesn't like you, but not me! I'm not saying I don't like you, Lucas!" Aidan explained to Lucas which made Lucas laugh hearing that. At the same time, without Lucas and Aidan noticing, there was someone who was listening and watching the two of them at that time.

…

(Told about Nick two years ago, who at that time was looking for the Ice bender)

It was Monday, and as Nick had planned. He will make a competition through a medium that reaches almost all over the world, namely international newspapers. Nick left his house after Queen went to his college. He who used to go to the office didn't even go that time, he went to one of the printing offices where all the world's information was in it.

The man with authority entered the office lobby and asked the receptionist who was in front of him about some things about posting personal news.

"Excuse me..." He greeted the two receptionists, both of whom looked quite surprised to see Nick's handsome face.

"Good morning, sir... Can we help you?" Asked one of the receptionists who wore bright red lipstick, while the other receptionist was silent and stared at Nick's handsome looks.

"If I want to put up an announcement that you can put in your newspaper, who should I meet with?" Nick asked the woman who now turned to her colleague who was also confused by Nick's question.

"You mean you want to insert some kind of advertisement? Like that sir?" Asked the receptionist who had been silent. Nick, who heard those words, turned to the receptionist and nodded his head, confirming it. The two receptionists immediately opened their computer screens and saw if part of the ad loading was still running or not.

"Ah... You will meet one of our agents, wait on the seat in front of you, sir!" Said the red-lipped receptionist to Nick, while showing a place not far from their position. A place that has four sofas and one table, a place that is deliberately reserved for those who are waiting for someone and will have a meeting with several agents in their office.

Nick nodded his head and straightened his tie as he walked to the sofa. He waited very patiently for the arrival of an agent who could help him put up the announcement of the contest.

It didn't take him long to wait until he finally saw a man get out of the elevator and turned to the two receptionists and asked who was looking for him. The two beautiful women who were standing behind the information desk pointed at Nick who was now watching him silently.
