Strongest Necromancer System-Chapter 192: A Flight Risk
Chapter 192: A Flight Risk
"Thank you! Sori! Sorri!"
’Huh?’
Janet tilted her head to one side in surprise as she tried to figure out what Riyala was trying to say! But Janet’s eyes narrowed curiously when she saw the sharp teeth that peeked out from Riyala’s mouth! Those were nothing like human teeth, and Janet immediately leaned closer in curiosity to try and get a better look.
"What’s wrong with your teeth—?"
"Riyala, we’re leaving."
Jason called from the door in the Radagan tongue and Riyala sprang up from the couch quickly and headed straight for him. Janet stood up as well, and she asked Jason what was wrong with Riyala.
"Is she from another country? She can’t understand English."
Jason nodded and told Janet that Riyala was a foreigner who became friends with Gina recently. He was looking after her until she managed to get her feet under her. Janet didn’t look like she completely believed him, and even Mira was watching Riyala with a curious gaze, but Jason wasn’t going to say anything more about it. He turned as he saw Mira coming over with a flask, and he gained a small smile as she handed him the flask of hot food.
"Make sure you eat well and take care of Gina, okay? I believe in you, my son. Never forget that. If you ever have anything that is troubling you, then you can always come home."
Jason released a calming breath and smiled before pulling his mother into a hug and promising her that he would keep her updated about Gina’s condition. Mira hugged him back and when they separated, she caressed his cheek softly and brought him down to place a loving kiss on his forehead. Mira knew that Jason wasn’t telling her the whole truth about this situation, but she trusted her son enough to know that he would always figure things out. Jason looked so much like his father in that moment that Mira couldn’t help but travel back to when Richard was still with them. She was sure that Richard would be so proud of his son.
Jason bid goodbye to them, and then he and Riyala walked out of the apartment. They left the building a few seconds later, and Jason looked towards the left and waited calmly for the Enforcers to get close enough. Jason had heard the police sirens from up in the mother’s apartment, and he didn’t want them to come up there, so he made sure he left as quickly as possible so that they would meet him outside the apartment.
Three police vehicles and another black car arrived on the scene a few seconds later and Jason watched as the policemen got out while keeping a close eye on him. The black car parked closer than the police vehicles and Jason was glad to see Liam coming out of the car and approaching him first. Liam looked a little drained from everything that had happened today and there were dark circles around his eyelids, but he was physically fine since he was superhuman. He glanced at Riyala first before he turned to Jason and gave him a nod.
"The entire country has been looking for you. You pulled quite a stunt and vanished on us."
Jason shrugged calmly before he eyed the policemen and asked,
"Am I under arrest?"
Liam’s eyes widened and he immediately raised his hands.
"No, nothing like that! We just needed to get a statement from you about what happened at your former apartment. The fire wasn’t caused by you, and there hasn’t been any need to open a case, so you’re practically free to go on that end. The only issue we have is about the Dragon that appeared. The government is trying to make a case that you lied about your Gift and they’re asking us to classify you as a flight risk until things are cleared up."
"What does that mean?"
"It means you can’t leave the country until we’re sure of what your actual abilities are."
"I see... there’s no need to make a big deal out of it. You can tell them I’m a necromancer."
Liam blinked in surprise and then his eyes widened. A necromancer!?
"Wait, does that mean you can resurrect anything that dies?"
"That’s the gist of it, yes."
"Then... that dragon? How did you get it? And how did you get this ability along with the ocular ability you have? How many monsters do you have under your control?"
"I’m not interested in sharing that information. I already told you what my Gift is, so I don’t need to tell you anything else." novelbuddy-cσ๓
Liam sighed tiredly when he heard this. Jason was actually right about not needing to tell the government everything about his Gift. The only thing that superhumans were mandated to tell the government was what their Gift was. Anything about how the Gift worked wasn’t necessary, and the superhumans would only need to report their increase in strength over the years.
But they had never had a case like this before! Jason was already strong enough to be classified as an S Rank, but if they considered that dragon that he summoned as well, then he would be far stronger than most S Ranks! In fact, he might even be able to take on an SS Rank! If Jason had any more monsters under his control, then his very existence could be a threat to national security! There was no way the government wouldn’t want to know how many monsters Jason had under his control!
Liam sighed once again before speaking.
"I still think it’s best for you to stay in the country for the meantime. At least until things blow over. I’ll talk to the higher-ups, and I’ll get a list of questions that they want answered. It’s the only way you can get them off your back. And also... the SMD already completed the interrogation of Millicent. She’s been found guilty of conspiracy to murder and the siblings have been found guilty of attempted murder."
Jason’s aura immediately changed the moment he heard that last news. He turned to Liam fully and spoke in a low tone.
"Did she tell you who ordered her to do it?"
Liam took a step back from Jason when he felt the pressure and the policemen who were standing at the side reached for their guns cautiously. They didn’t dare to draw them since they hadn’t seen Jason attack yet, but Jason’s pressure was just too much for them not to feel threatened! Liam raised his hand to tell the policemen to calm down! They weren’t under attack! The policeman looked at each other cautiously before they finally listened and Liam released a breath to calm down. Liam hesitated to say anything to Jason since this was classified information, but after a while, he realized that it was better to tell Jason now and sort things out properly.
"She said it was the vice captain of the BloodRaven guild, Tobias Grant. Wait, Jason, let me finish. I didn’t tell you that so you can go hunt him down. There are protocols to these things. The government is already looking for him, and we’ll apprehend him once we find him. For now, we’re asking you to do nothing."
Jason narrowed his eyes angrily.
"He tried to have me killed, and you’re telling me to do nothing? Do you really think I’m just going to stand down because you tell me to?"
"Yes, I know you’re angry, but we have things under control. There is an obvious link going all the way up through the BloodRaven guild, so we are trying to sort things out and bring in everyone who needs to be arrested. I need you to stand down."
Jason’s frown deepened. Jason was no stranger to the way the government handled things. The government would always say they were working towards bringing criminals to justice, but it was all just a ruse! The government only did things to benefit themselves, and if the BloodRaven guild turned out to still be useful, then Jason was sure that the government would never bring them down. Jason wasn’t going to allow the bullshit bureaucracy that the government practiced to stop him from doing what he had to.
