Chapter 53 by BlueKnight
The tragic event that occurred will certainly affect the future…
The Axeman City now gained an excuse to go to war against the Jackson Fortress!
Inside of the bunker that located beneath one of the wooden buildings in the Axeman City, the humanoid robot with human;s brain on top of its head known as Mr. Grice-Hutchinson is looking on the screen through the eyes of the camouflaged drone about what happened at the new home of the Williams family.
With a drone such as this one and many more, he can spied on whoever he wished inside the city and get the information he desired about the latest political development so easily. And since he spied on the Sullivan's manor and learn about the plan of another attempt to expand the Orange Kingdom, he had one of his humanoid robots disguised as a human and hired three thugs to get rid of the Williams family in order to maintain the status quo.
But sadly, all of the three men that had been hired through one of his robots have been killed. And he knows of that by watching this through infrared visions of the drone at the moment.
"Return to the base." Mr. Grice-Hutchinson said but after flying not that far away, a few sounds of gunshots happened and the connection is suddenly lost!
"What?!" Mr. Grice-Hutchinson said as he's getting up while staring at the screen that showing "CONNECTION IS LOST" in big red words.
Meanwhile at the new home of the Williams family, Elijah is looking down at the drone that he just shot down.
As for how he got into the garden so soon, it is because he came out to check things out in case there are more of the people like the three men that just broke into the new house of the Williams family. And when he heard the familiar sounds similar to that of a drone he used to encounter back during World War III, he decided to pull out his pistol and open fire at where he heard it sounded, thus damaging it and causing it to crash into the small garden.
"Hmm..." Elijah groaned as he's looking down at the damaged drone before him.
Inside the house, Brittany is personally attending to your wounds in the room you chosen as yours with a few servants standing behind her while Teresa is sitting near her pregnant daughter-in-law and her grandson and console them nearby for they are crying at the moment after they learned that they just lost a husband and a father.
As for the dead bodies of the three intruders and that of Solomon, they have been collected by the peoples who operated the field hospitals to be brought to the coroners while the officers of the security forces have already left after everyone have been questioned about the incident.
"Ooh..." You groaned as Brittany is tending to your wounds.
"You saved us again. I mean, you saved my family this time. I mean-" Brittany said but unable to explain it the right way that you saved her family after you saved her from the Hellhounds gang back then.
"I get it, Brittany." You said as you're still feeling bad due to the injuries.
Touched by your understanding, she rubbed her belly for a few times, knowing that you and her made something together in there while also smiling back at you.
Then, you spotted Brittany's father walked passing your room and heading for the stairs.
"Mr. Williams?" You said and that make Brittany turned around and look at her father along with the rest of her family.
"Dad?" Brittany asked as she's running to the door to look at him with her family.
"Edward! Where are you going?!" Teresa asked as she's following her husband downstairs.
"To the Sullivan's manor, of course. I am going to report my eldest son's **** to them. That way, they can used as the justification to rally the other major families in Axeman City to-" Edward but before he can finished, his wife slapped him right in the face!
"WE JUST LOST A SON AND ALL YOU CARED ABOUT IS POLITICS?!" Teresa asked loudly, yelling to be exact, back to her husband.
"Teresa! I am saddened by what just happened as much as you do! But I am doing this for all of us and for the future of our family!" Edward said as he's looking at his crying wife.
"All we needed right now is for you to actually care about us! I married you for the sake of the alliance and even bore three children for you! And now, I just lost one of them! I even almost lost Brittany back then! Can you for once be a husband and a father and not a politician and a businessman?!" Teresa asked as tears are streaming down from her eyes. She then falls on her knees and begin to sob.
"SERVANTS!" Edward yelled to get one of the servants to where he is.
"Yes, Master Williams?" The coachman's mother that came with you and her son said as she's approaching him.
"Take this letter to the Sullivan's manor. They needed to be informed of what happened here." Edward said as he's giving her the note.
Once she received the letter, she left to get her son, who is the coachman that came with her and the Williams family from Port Williams, so that she can traveled to the manor of the Sullivan family by a carriage.
After the maid left, the head of the Williams family gets down on his knees and hug his wife to console her to show her that he still loves his family.
Sometime later, the maid and her son arrived at the Sullivan family's manor and due to saying this is an urgent letter from Mr. Williams directly addressed to Mr. Sullivan, she is granted an audience with him in his office. And when he is informed of the **** of the eldest son of the Williams family, he is shocked but also quite satisfied at the same time.
"Now, this is unexpected and clearly wish to never even happened in the first place. But... I finally found a way convince the other major families to join my cause now." Patrick said after he finished reading the letter as he's looking out of the window into the city.
"Servants!" Patrick said loudly to get the attentions of the servants outside. Then, one of the servants opened the door and enter his office.
"Yes, Mr. Sullivan?" The African-American butler said after he entered his superior's office.
"Send invitations to the heads of the other major families! Telling them that I summoned them to have lunch with me tomorrow to discuss some important matters together!" Patrick said without turning to look at his butler.
"As you said, sir." The African-American butler said and then leave to carry out the task given to him.
Back at the Williams family's new home, Elijah came to your room with the damaged drone he shot down earlier. And the sight of such an ancient tech alone got everyone's curiosities.
"What is that thing?!" Brittany asked, wondering what is it that the ghoul just brought in.
"This is known as a drone, little lady. It used to be around back before World War III changed this planet forever." Elijah said after he dropped the damaged drone down.
"And where did you find it?!" You asked as you're trying to get up but injuries prevented you from doing so.
"I shot it down in the garden after I went to check in case there are more people like those that just broke in." Elijah said as he's turning to look at you.
And despite your injuries, you still determined to get up so that you can take a look at the drone itself.
"So what happened down there? I entered and saw Mrs. Williams crying with her husband hugging her. So what did I miss?" Elijah asked as he recounted what he witnessed earlier when he was coming here.
Unbeknownst to everyone, one of the drone's eyes becomes online once again and it sent back what it is now seeing back to the screen that is online at the moment in the ancient bunker beneath this city.
"So it's you, Lieutenant Moore. And Blake, my old friend. Glad to know that you two survived into this new world just like me." Mr. Grice-Hutchinson said as he's looking at you and Elijah through the only functional eye of the drone.
What will happened now that the another "ancient relic" finally learned of your survival?
