The Ancient Genes

Chapter 807 Infiltrating the Spatial Pouch

”You are here, Dear?” Aunt Kel smiled as she hugged Erina and welcomed her back.

”It’s only been two days, Aunt..” Erina replied with a smile.

”Is it? It feels like I haven’t seen you for weeks. Let’s go and meet your mother, she sure has missed you as well..” Aunt Kel led Erina towards her mother’s chamber. If even she herself was missing Erina, then there was no need to think about Erina’s mother.

As the two went into the mansion, a person had sneaked into the spatial pouch.

…

”This place is better than our place..” Synthia muttered as she breathed in the fresh air filled with pure energy. This really rejuvenated one’s body and mind. If someone had said that a place like this existed a while ago, she would have never believed it. But, it was right in front of her.

’Even those old geezers have no idea about this..’ She muttered in heart, and with that Max’s image in her mind changed a little. Initially, she had thought that Max was like a little frog in the well who hadn’t seen the world. She had looked down on him because she thought herself to be a superior than him because she was from an Ancient Family.

But, it had been proven time and time again who the frog in well actually was.

’Who is he?’ She couldn’t help but ask herself. Max was actually able to provide her some help with Rihanna that even her own family couldn’t do. It was obvious to understand Max’s ability from this.

It didn’t seem that the guy was really simple.

’It’s not time to think about this..’ Synthia shook her head, and began to move. She had got some information from Erina regarding the routes to reach the city, and to avoid the guards as well.

Even though she was supposed to be caught by the guard, it wouldn’t be a problem if it happened a little late. She was planning to check out the spatial pouch and see what she could find about the Crimsons.

After all, even if Erina had returned to Crimson Family, it hadn’t been much time, and she had been constantly training to awaken her power. This meant that she didn’t have much time to dwell on the other things. It was already a lot for her to have found out about the route and guard duties, and it was partly because of the fact that the escorts who came to take her wouldn’t refuse her questions as they brought her up to the castle.

Synthia skimmed through the forest terrain, trying to find her way out, but her luck seemed to be really bad. She was soon spotted by a group of flying units who seemed to be out on patrol.

”Sir, it seems there is a person down below..” A member of the team spoke as he looked below to where Synthia was.

”Hmmn..” The Captain finally seemed to notice it as well, and a frown appeared on his face, “How is it possible? There is no way that someone has crossed the borders..”

It was true, one had to cross the city borders and travel through these forest terrains if they wanted to get out of the Spatial Pouch. And, the Crimson’s obviously didn’t allow people to leave. Only a few had that power, and that too because of the responsibility they had.

But, these things obviously didn’t apply to a person who had come from outside, and the captain could see that this person too didn’t seem to be moving out of the city, but instead was travelling towards it.

”Descend! Capture her!” He immediately issued a command.

Synthia wasn’t aware of the group that had spotted her from a distance, but as they got closer, she sure noticed it, and her facial expression changed. She didn’t think she would be caught so soon.

The security was way tighter than Erina had told her about. It seems that the girl wasn’t well informed.

’Well, I won’t be an easy catch for sure..’ Synthia smiled, she was really fearless right now. Since Max had promised her to help her find out about Rihanna, she was willing to go to any length for it. After all, she was willing to risk it all for her.

”Don’t let her escape!” The captain yelled when he saw Synthia escape under the forest cover.

Four riders of the flying unit immediately jumped down their rides, and chased after her, while the others quickly spread out in the sky on their captain’s order to locate and track her down.

’She didn’t seem like a person from out City..’ The Captain had a frown on his face as he looked at the forest below. He was only doubtful earlier, but after seeing Synthia at a closer distance, his doubts had grown stronger.

’This can’t be taken lightly…’ He made the decision, and soon the information about a person crossing the borders was spread out along with a suspicion that it was a person who had sneaked in from the outer world.

And, as expected, it didn’t take long for chaos to erupt.

…

’They really are sparing no efforts..’ Erina looked through the window, and saw a swarm of flying beasts flying towards the directions where the entrance of the Spatial pouch was located. She knew where they were headed to and why. After all, she had heard through Max that Synthia had been spotted.

It was just that she had never expected them to take this matter so seriously.

”What’s wrong, Eri?” A weak and feeble voice entered Erina’s ear, and she turned her head towards the lady lying on the bed.

”Nothing, mom..” Erina replied with a smile, “Anyway, continue telling me the story I was listening….”

Erina’ mom could see that there was something in her daughter’s mind, but she knew that her children wouldn’t want to worry her. But, she didn’t even have to guess, she already knew a lot of trouble that would be plaguing her children right now. But, all she could do was lie in the bed while her husband and children faced all of it alone.

These were the moments in which she truly felt helpless, only if she hadn’t fallen for the cheap tricks of her enemy, and become a liability for her family.
