Chapter 463 Arthur Clayborn

[Upper Districts of City C - The Airport]

"Is that him?"

"No, he's taller than that. You have his picture, stop asking stupid questions."

"I'm a little rattled is all. Do you think he knows?"

"No, I'm sure he doesn't... I hope he doesn't."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In the airport terminal of City A, large crowds of people can be seen walking out from the reception area after their planes landed. There were many men and women waiting for their loved ones and friends while carrying cardboard plaques or waving their hands high with smiles on their faces.

But among this crowd were two people who were standing separately from everyone else. It was a man and a woman, and they were both wearing full black suits and sunglasses. They had a single commlink in their right ears, and from the serious expressions on their faces, anyone would know that they were there on very serious business.

The man looked to be in his late thirties. He had black hair and a thin goatee on his chin. His hands were folded across his chest, and every now and then he would look down at his watch to check the time as if he was running late for something. The woman, on the other hand, looked a lot less composed. She looked to be in her early twenties, and she was frowning while glancing around constantly.

Her hands were also folded across her chest, but she was tapping a finger on her bicep nervously.

These two were agents from the Superhuman Alliance that had been sent here to retrieve someone very important. Normally, they would never allow themselves to be this exposed, but after the information that they got from their agent in Nature Academy recently, they knew that exposing themselves was the least of their concerns right now.

After Turner and Tina learned about Arit and the fact that she murdered Francis and Esmeralda, Turner immediately reported the incident to Alec Ben and told him everything that Maria told them.

"I have to get somewhere first. I'll come and answer whatever questions you have for me when I'm done with my business."

Arthur turned to walk away, but the female agent stepped forward.

"Mr. Clayborn, you can't contact your daughter, can you? There is a reason for this. Please come with us. We'll explain everything so you'll understand better."

Arthur stopped in his tracks once he heard the woman say this, and he turned to them in shock. Arthur was Arit's father, and he had been trying to contact Arit for the past few days since he heard the news about the attack on City F. Arthur knew that Arit was going there for the festival since she told him about it. He even sent her some money for her to use to buy anything she wanted.

Arit told him not to worry about the money, but he knew that it was a father's job to take care of his daughter, so he sent it anyway. When Arthur heard that two Elder Eldritch monsters had attacked the island, he almost had a heart attack on the spot! Just knowing that Arit was on the same island as those monsters was enough to put the fear of death into him!

Immediately after the attack, Arthur called Arit to ask her if she was okay. Arit picked up the phone and told her father that she was fine. She assured him that she wasn't injured seriously and had only to spend a single night in the hospital to rest.

That was two months ago, and Arthur had been calling Arit once a week since then to make sure that everything was fine, but lately, for some reason, Arthur hasn't been able to get through to Arit at all. It first happened a week ago. Arthur called, but he wasn't able to get through to Arit. He has been calling over and over again since then, but there was still nothing.

Arthur even tried calling Mark, but he wasn't able to get through to Mark either.

After a week of this happening, Arthur got a message from his company telling him that he had stacked up enough work hours to go on leave. Arthur immediately decided to use his time off work and come down to the Federation of America to find out what was going on for himself.

Normally, a request for leave like this would take at least another week before it was approved, but surprisingly, Arthur's request for leave was immediately approved, and he was allowed to go. He didn't think too much about this and just boarded the first flight to America, and now that he was here, he was being confronted by agents.

Arthur had no idea that it was actually the Superhuman Alliance that planned all of this from the start. The Superhuman Alliance needed him back in the Federation for them to be able to complete their plan, so they orchestrated everything perfectly to make sure that he came back here.

They jammed all his calls into America to make sure that he couldn't contact Arit or Mark, and then they made his company grant him leave once he requested it.
