Chapter 285 Let him go

The last words from Duke's mouth had been heard clearly by everyone . By now, even Layla stopped complaining and every single one of them remained motionless in the room . They received confirmation that one of them was caught .

There was always the possibility of something like this happening . However, before getting caught by the military, Quinn always thought that another student would've at least got them first . He prepared for such a scenario, but he wasn't ready for this one .

'Fight them, get him out of there . ' A voice seemed to be resounding at the back of his mind . However, he kept his rationality in proper order . Quinn didn't have the power to fight against the military just for one person .

Currently, Peter was left in the room, he was sitting down on a chair at the table . His hands were still cuffed behind his back . Nathan and four other soldiers were in there with him . However, Duke was no longer in the room and went somewhere else .

The room was silent . In the meantime, Nathan was busying himself with going through some films of Peter in the past . He wanted to make sure that he didn't misread the information he had . In fact, he was extremely sure that Peter didn't have an ability in the first place, and had later been given the Earth ability .

But when Nathan used his own ability to drain away Peter's MC cells, he realized that the latter was actually using a Transformation ability .

As he was still in the chair, handcuffed, Peter continued looking around the room to find an opportunity of a way out . Despite a small bubble being left over around his hands, the energy he recently lost was already starting to recover .

It was for this reason that a part of his body continued feeling incredibly weak . Thankfully, it seemed like they underestimated Peter's true strength . In just a short amount of time, he would soon be strong enough, even with the bubble on him, to break free from the handcuffs .

Peter glanced at the guard closest to his right side . Once he broke the cuffs, if he reacted quick enough, he should be able to kill him in one blow . Even if he was attacked by the others, his body would be able to withstand or heal any of their hits .

Peter also had another trick up his sleeves . He had the ability to turn two people into lesser wights . If he was to use this now, then there was a higher chance he would be able to get out of this situation . However, despite this plan in his head, there was one more person he had to take in mind of . Nathan was still here . He was unsure of exactly how strong Nathan was and what his ability did . And with Nathan being a General at the military base, Peter was sure that he was strong . But he had no choices left, this was a risk he had to take .

A portion of his energy had now come back, and with a slight tug, he tested the cuffs restraining him .

"Wait," a small voice directly resounded in his ear . "Don't do anything yet, Peter . We still don't know what will happen to you, just remain calm . "

These instructions were being transmitted by the small spider Logan had placed on him before . Peter hesitated for a moment, trying to decide whether he should listen to Logan or not, however, he felt like he could trust him and cancelled whatever plans he just thought up .

'Since they got me and Erin out of something like this before . They can surely do it again . ' Peter reassured himself with these thoughts . Unaware of what was currently happening inside the room, no one had a clue what to do next .

"We have to start thinking about leaving the military base," Vorden broke the silence .

"With Peter, or without?" Layla shot back with a question .

"Without, of course . There's a high chance that they will soon start interrogating him . By then, they'll link him to everything that has happened so far and find out we were all involved . "

"I think we're safe from anything like that happening," Quinn quickly responded . "I know Peter won't sell us out of his own accord, and even if they did get that girl to question him, it still wouldn't work . "

"How would you know that?" Vorden asked .

"Fex will back me up on this, Peter is different now . One of the things that's different about him is that certain abilities no longer work on him," Quinn explained .

Fex nodded in agreement while adding in his own words, "He's right . A Wight is unaffected by abilities that target the mind or body in some type of way . They are also immune to poison, they don't sleep, and they don't register a heartbeat . A Wight will never give up his master either . If you're worried about them linking him to us, the only connection you guys have is being his past teammates . "

"Even so, that still doesn't solve our original problem," Layla continued speaking, "They're going to do something to Peter and will eventually find out he's different . Don't you think that they're already wondering why he has a different ability now? If they find out about his healing capabilities, he'll be used as a lab experiment for the rest of his life . "

What Layla just said was one of Quinn's true fears . It was why he was extremely intent on hiding his secret in the first place . The fear that he would be locked up in a lab somewhere and be tested on . . . If that ever happens, then everyone would say it was just fine because it was for the sake of humanity, to help them defeat the Dalki .

"There are a few possibilities . Luckily for us, this world still has an order of civilization . I still don't know how far that will get us . . . " Logan started speaking . "Even if Peter is to be moved to a research lab or such, or maybe even treated as a terrorist who works for Pure, he will still first have to undergo a trial . I'm pretty sure that this so-called 'trial' would only be for show . The Generals and Truedream have their own ways to speed up the process and put the judge in their pockets .

"What this does, however, will give us a little bit more time . I guess that before Peter attends the trial, an investigation will continue in public or behind the scenes . He'll probably be temporarily placed in the underground dungeons . We aren't sure how heavily guarded it is for now, or if we have the capabilities in breaking him out, but we can use this opening to save him . "

"Just let this one go, Quinn . " Vorden's words sounded like an ultimatum . "You already saved him once before . Forcing a rescue operation would get us all killed . I'm sorry to say this, but if you decide to go through with it, I won't be helping you . "

The room fell silent once more after Vorden spoke . The reason being was that the others kind of agreed with what he was saying . The dungeon was a place where they kept undisciplined students and soldiers, there was a higher chance it was heavily guarded because of this .

"Whatever you do, Quinn . I'll be there with you . " Fex said as he slapped him on the back .

When looking around the room, Quinn could see the expressions on their faces . No one else volunteered to help, even Layla who really wanted to participate in the operation, didn't do so due to the simple reason that she felt she was too weak . She herself knew that by forcing herself to do it, she would only hinder them .

"It's okay," Quinn responded back . "I've decided . . . it's best not to save Peter right now . It's too risky and is none of your responsibilities . " While saying these words, something in Quinn's mind tugged at him, telling him to try and save Peter .

Despite deciding not to go through with the plan, it still kept reminding him . 'Is this connection from before? It seems like I can fight it a bit now . '

Even though Quinn had now grown stronger, it seemed like he wasn't going to let his emotions get the better of him . It might have also been the fact that Peter wasn't in immediate danger right now . He knew that the military would most likely not kill him, but instead, perhaps torture him . He had convinced himself that Peter wasn't going to die anytime soon, and this was how he stopped himself from trying to save Peter .

"That's the right choice . " Vorden agreed with him .

'Was it really, though?' Quinn's mind asked this question . For some reason, he had this huge feeling of guilt looming over his head . If he knew he made the right choice, he shouldn't be feeling like this . But right now, he felt nothing but miserable .

Just then, another sound emerged from the computer . It was a low and familiar tone . Duke was talking .

"It looks like Truedream made a decision on what to do with you . "
