Chapter 957 Return Home 2 The young man stood still. Although he was wearing clothes from that planet, it was obvious that he was not used to it, and he seemed to be feeling out of place.
The hideous scars on his face seemed to have just healed and looked extremely terrifying.
Once the aircraft docked and resumed normal operations, the young man turned around and walked toward the City of Phoenix.
âI hate it, uncle!â The young man gritted his teeth, and the scar on his face became more and more hideous.
âThis planet is all about the survival of the fittest. We are like ants in front of them and canât resist them. Remember this hatred in your heart and strengthen yourself with it.â The voice of an old man resounded in the young manâs ears.
âLetâs find the person and escape from this planet.â There was a hint of helplessness in the old manâs voice.
âThey destroyed our homes, killed my people, destroyed our land, and snatched away our resources and women...â As he spoke, the young manâs eyes began to turn red. âI want revenge!â
The old man gently patted the young manâs head. Then, he looked at the City of Phoenix before them and murmured, âRevenge? Itâd be better to think about how to survive first.â
There was a sense of resignation in his voice.
The young man did not seem to understand the old manâs words. He raised his head stubbornly and looked ahead at the massive City of Phoenix with a hint of determination in his eyes.
The young man was Octavio Faraday, who came from a planet named Red Moon.
Nathanial had invaded that planet not long ago, making its civilization almost extinct.
In the dark starry sky, an aircraft was flying slowly on the star road.
When Gerald and the group left Earth for the first time, they had mixed feelings and did not understand anything beyond Earth.
But now, they knew much more things compared to the first time.
At least they could understand the star roads on the map now.
These star roads had been recorded and concluded from generation to generation. They were the safe routes. in the universe..
No one knew the border of the endless universe, and there were many dangers within it.
The safe star roads were like the highway in this universe that ran in all directions. As such, Gerald and the group would occasionally encounter some other spaceships while they were on their way back.
They had used to it, though.
Half a month was neither too long nor too short.
After Hector set his destination, he steadily ran to his room and slept in the sleeping pod.
Gerald still felt uneasy, so he stayed in the aircraft cabin for the past ten days. Besides watching the TV series that Carolyn and the others had downloaded on their tablets, he practiced occasionally to keep himself busy.
In fifteen days, the aircraft traveled through the endless starry sky. At some point, Gerald looked up into the dark starry sky and saw a tiny blue dot.
As time passed, the tiny dot got closer and closer to them.
It was then a mechanized voice resounded through the cabin. âAttention, we have arrived at the solar system! Attention, we have arrived at the solar system!â
Gerald could not help but shudder upon hearing that.
The aircraft was still moving.
Although there was also a star in Havotune, for some reason, Gerald felt a stronger sense of familiarity when he saw the sun.
With the reminder of the voice, each of the sleeping pods was opened. Carolyn and the others left their sleeping pods and went in Geraldâs direction. Through the clear and transparent window, they saw a blue-colored planet that gradually became larger in the distance.
âAre we... finally coming back?â Tears welled up in Claudeâs eyes.
Everyone indeed had mixed emotions at the sight.
They had been missing this planet for the past six months.
They liked the atmosphere and everything on this planet, not merely because their relatives and friends were there.
And all they did was to protect the peace of this planet.
Hector walked to the cockpit and personally controlled the aircraft, slowly approaching the blue-colored planet.
âI want to have a vacation when we go back. Gerald, please take me along when you guys are having your honeymoon,â said Carolyn.
Geraldâs lips twitched as he replied, âAre you crazy? Why should I bring you along on our honeymoon?â
âItâs okay. Iâll take you with me!â Valery said with a smile, Gerald was speechless.
Claude stroked his chin and said, âSpeaking of which, I havenât named my child yet, and I donât know if itâs a boy or a girl. Well, everything should start from a young age. If itâs a boy, Iâll let him practice martial arts once he can walk. Iâm not very good at martial arts, but thank goodness Aleen is talented.â
Triston cleared his throat and said, âExcuse me, we havenât landed yet. If weâre unlucky and the aircraft get disintegrated by a cannon later, weâll wander around in the universe. Only the person who burrowed into the T Purple Elite Ghost will be able to survive.â
âShut up!â Carolyn glared at him and said, âBelieve it or not, Iâll throw you out now.â
âJust kidding. Iâm just kidding!â Triston cleared his throat and cowered.
After all, the stronger one would rule. It was apparent that Carolyn was better at fighting than him and even restrained his attribute-related ability.
Despite Tristonâs curse, nothing seemed to happen, and the aircraft kept moving forward. After a while, the group finally arrived in the outer space of Earth.
From outer space, the floating satellites around Earth looked so friendly and love,y.
âWhatâs that?â Triston pointed at a metal object slowly rotating in orbit and said suspiciously, âIt doesnât look like a satellite!â
âThere seems to be someone up there!â Carolynâs eyes turned cold. âCould it be the Four Ancient Families who came here for detection?â
âSomeone requested to talk to us!â Hectorâs voice suddenly sounded in the cockpit.
âAnswer it!â Gerald walked to the cockpit.
At the same time, the signals between both parties were established successfully.
âWho are you?â A voice reverberated in the aircraft the next moment.
The person spoke in standard English before switching to a foreign language and then Havotune language.
âAre they from Earth? Is this a space station that can carry people?â Carolyn asked excitedly.
Gerald then exhaled slowly before speaking to the microphone. Iâm Gerald Kenneth, an American Watchman.â
On Earth, there was a place inside the research base of Night Watch in Bismarck where only a few senior executives of Night Watch could enter.
There were signal transmissions between here and the space station.
Ashtyn Casey was on duty that day. She sat there, playing with her phone while listening to the signals received.
Suddenly, she stopped swiping her phone.
âIâm Gerald Kenneth, an American Watchman.â
The voice rang out in the spacious room.
âGerald... Gerald and the others are back!â Ashtynâs voice trembled slightly.
Then, she took out her phone and quickly made a call.
The news of Geraldâs return spread like wildfire.
Meanwhile, in Night Watchâs base, Blaine looked at the time and frowned in his office. âItâs been a few days. since the date of return. Did something happen to Gerald and the group?â
They had made a promise to return after half a year. According to Hector, it would take a month for them to go back and forth from the process, but seven months would be more than enough..
It had been two days since the appointed time now, and Blaine was distraught.
Zackary wanted to comfort Blaine, but he found that he couldnât bring himself to do it because he was worried, too.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Just then, the phone in the office rang.
Blaine was not in the mood to answer the phone. He stood before the window and occasionally looked up at the sky.
Zackary heaved a sigh before answering the phone. âHello, this is Zackary Benjamin from the headquarters of American Night Watch.â
âZackary, G-Gerald and the others have returned.â Ashtynâs grandfatherâs voice came from the phone.
Blaine, who was standing by the window, immediately rushed over and snatched the phone away. âAre you sure?â he asked.
âDamn you, Blaine! You scared me!â the person on the other end of the phone cursed. âYes. They are talking to the people from the space station and entering the Earthâs ozone layer now. Itâs estimated that they will land in half an hour to an hour.â
Swoosh!
Blaine dropped the phone and disappeared from the office.
âHey! Take me with you!â Zackary cursed loudly.
