Chapter 73 Challenging the Elites
"ARGHHH!!" The man screamed loudly as blood spurted out of his sliced off arm, gathering attention from passer-bys.
Seeing an opportunity Xander immediately summoned his Primordial chains and binded the other three men together while tying the bleeding man separately.
Eve ran towards Harry as soon as the man that held her was caught in chains with tears in her eyes. She spread her arms as she hugged Harry who bent down to recieve her hug.
Seeing the commotion happening at Harry's house the people around began to check it out curiously.
"What's going on over there?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Those guys wearing red went in. It think something happened inside."
"Who are those guys outside?" Read new chapters at empire
Seeing red chains suddenly wrapping the men coming out of the house and also a man's hand cut off the people all scattered in every direction while screaming or just simply running away.
"Ahhh! It's the returnees!!"
Harry who was still holding Eve suddenly looked at the men held in chains which came from mid air, his gaze burning with fury.
"Please! Don't take us to that prison, I don't want to die!" One of the men shouted, while they tried to hold the leader's wound to stop the bleeding.
Intrigued by the man's words Xander walked forward and bent down to his level. Seeing Xander's intense gaze the man looked away, shivering in fear.
"What do you mean by that? What happened in the prison?" Xander asked.
The man looked at Xander in confusion as he thought that they were also part of the elites since they wore matching uniforms and the gears they wore weren't normal.
"It was the time we escaped– gah."
Xander turned to look at the man bleeding that struggled to talk, he was impatient.
"What happened there?!" He shouted at them.
"They–"
The man's voice was interrupted by the sound of a whirring helicopter and Xander looked up to see a white helicopter with dual blades coming towards them. He immediately noticed the familiarity and concluded that it was the elites.
Men in white jumped out of the helicopter and marched towards Xander and the group of men.
Seeing the commotion Harry turned to his parents.
"Dad. Mom. Take Eve inside."
"What about you son? You've been gone for long." Harry's dad looked worried, making Harry feel happy as his family still loved him. "It's been hard handling the dirty dishes, we need you."
Harry smiled bitterly as he heard his father's words and he just said, "I'm not coming back anytime soon. We have a way to stop the apocalypse but we need more time."
Harry then bent down and dropped Eve on her feet. The girl looked at Harry with furrowed brows, she wasn't crying anymore.
"Okay Eve. I want you to go inside with Mom and Dad."
"But what about you? Or brother Xan?" Eve put on a sad puppy face.
"Hehe. Xander has told you not to call him that. And we'll be back soon after we solve some things." Harry smiled warmly before handing Eve over to her dad and walking out of the house.
Xander stood there as a group of ten people dressed in white military uniform walked towards him and he stood up.
"No! No! Please!"
The men struggled to get out of the chains but to no avail they couldn't. The Primordial bind was too strong for the likes of level 1 to 40 players.
Xander looked as a pretty blonde boy walked in front of the group, towards Xander with furrowed brows as he saw the chains coming from inside the house behind Xander.
"It's you again." Felix said, squinting his eyes as he scanned Xander from head to toe.
He definitely recognised Xander as they had a brief encounter at the stadium which was used for Montana Luna's concert... or 'was supposed to be used'.
"I believe they are ours." Felix furrowed his brows as Xander didn't look like leaving the men to him at all.
"I got them first." Xander said in a flat tone.
"Oh. You're all returnees also. Good, round them up!" Felix commanded and the ten men suddenly surrounded them and brought out advanced hot weapons and pointed them at Xander, Hannah, and Harry who just came out from the house.
Before when they met at the stadium no powers were displayed but now that Felix saw the chains wrapping the men he immediately knew that they were returnees and all returnees were to be brought to a safe hold.
Xander furrowed his brows as he looked around him. The men in white held laser guns, Soundwave guns and other V4 weapons but he was faster than any of the V4 weapons held by the men.
As he was about to make a move he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked by his side to see Harry there. Seeing the look on his friend's face he knew that Harry had a plan.
"Why don't we all calm down. We're not hostile. They are the ones you were called for, not us. So why don't we leave this place without shedding any blood."
For some reason, Felix got chills when Harry spoke about shedding blood.
Harry on the other hand wasn't joking at all. He was extremely angry at what happened earlier with the men attempting to rob his home and using his sister as bait, putting a gun to a twelve year old girl's head.
He would even prefer to let out some steam at this moment as he felt like he could explode out of anger. He was never an unreasonable person though. Although he didn't know Xander's level and strength he knew he wasn't fast enough to dodge attacks from a large number of hot V4 weapons at once. Or so he thought.
Felix was also thinking about Harry's proposal as he held his chin. The rule is that he could capture any returnee that is hostile and it said nothing about the ones who weren't hostile.
"Fine. Give them to us and we'll let you go." Felix finally agreed.
Harry looked at Xander who still had an angry expression and he nodded towards his friend. Xander unwrapped the men reluctantly and they were taken by the elites.
