I Became A System

Chapter 219 - Rafael's Escape

The Supreme thought that he had forgotten something to tell his brother, but just after a week of thinking about it, he couldn't remember what the important thing was about living with humans.

Since angels are basically children and subjects of the 'gods', they don't question the words of their superiors. However, there were no superior angels in this world, and thus, how would Rafael act if his common sense wasn't in agreement with the mortal world?

"Right. I forgot to tell him to lay low and don't let Verxal meet him. That bastard has some abilities to see through people and he is not an exception."

But after a week, it was too late for the Supreme to tell his brother.

"Tsk. Tell Killian to watch over Rafael. He'll be sent back to our plane if he dies. Even if I want him to return, I can't think less of his penalty for dying in the mortal world."

"Yes, Master." Then his secretary left.

The Supreme caressed his temple and looked at the table with papers piling up, reports about the current happenings on the continent.

He browsed through different papers, looked at every piece, and just when he saw one that piqued his interest, he held onto that paper.

"Viscount Ghudan took over the Baronial Family of Swish? How funny. That human finger of Wrath can't surprise me enough. He has such incredible human allies, I just couldn't wait to fight with him, despite that being the reason for my descent into this world."

***

Jane, Verxal's secretary, brought Rafael into a cell. It might be unreasonable to put a person here for an uncertain reason, but for Jane, it's too suspicious.

Earlier, when Jane tried to intimidate Rafael again, he acted weirdly.

"Don't try to talk to me like that, human. Even if you are strong, I will obtain my powers after a few days."

Furthermore, Rafael appears stupid for saying the words that caused the lady who assisted her to leave.

"I don't know him," she said to Jane, then ran away.

Jane didn't bother with the lady and just looked at Rafael once again.

With her intent gaze, Rafael couldn't help but be more agitated about the situation.

"You're coming with me."

"No! I must find Ellena! I am interested in her!"

Jane just gritted her teeth and slammed the hilt of her sword against his nape, immediately making Rafael unconscious.

"Weirdo."

And so, that's how Rafael ended up in a cell inside the Murphey Family.

Rafael just sighed after thinking of what he had just done. He was immature and too rash in his decisions. But it wasn't that bad either. The experience he got was useful since it just proves how his views are different from humans.

He didn't grow arrogant, thinking that he was superior to humans. He only grew as an inferior who followed his superiors' commands. Fighting with the dimensional chaos was just as important to him.

Rafael had observed Ellena for almost a month, and just as he wanted to know more about her, he was captured and brought as a prisoner.

'Now I have to learn how to negotiate with humans. They are so strong that I can't underestimate them!'

"Hey! The Young Master will be coming; be sure to pay respect to him." The guard outside his cell suddenly said.

Rafael just nodded.

Verxal was just outside the cell, waiting for the guard inside to report to him what the state of the interiors was. When they were sure that there are no more dirt since Verxal is sensitive to dirt, they entered the cells with Jane guiding him inside.

"Here's the way-!"

Before Jane could finish her words, the cell suddenly exploded before Verxal could enter.

"Shit!" Verxal cursed as he didn't see that one coming.

When the smoke covered their vision, he activated his rune to see who was inside.

There was only one human, grabbing at one person who was kneeling down, covering his head.

"An escape," Verxal mumbled, and with his men hearing it, they immediately moved to spread.

"An escape! Lock down the premises."

Verxal just shook his head when, in the next second, the two people disappeared.

'They must have used some artifacts to teleport. I didn't expect that there would be another person who's targetting Ellena.'

***

It was already sunset when Verxal left the residence. He immediately went straight to Ellena's house to report what had just happened and his family's decision.

He was gritting his teeth while he recalled his father's decision on the matter. He went inside with trepidation, still unable to stomach it.

"Welcome, Young Master Verxal." one of the ladies greeted him.

"Where's Ellena?" he asked.

"She's inside. Should I call her?"

"No. I will greet her." Then, Verxal left the lady and then headed to Ellena's office.

He knocked on the door, and after a few seconds, Ellena opened the door.

"Verxal?"

"Ellena, we have to talk about something," Verxal said that with him being serious, Ellena became serious as well and offered him to get inside.

After he sat down on a chair, he started telling her everything that happened until the decision by his father.

Ellena released a deep sigh.

"It was unfortunate. I didn't think that there would be someone after the guild master. Perhaps this time it was the mysterious organization. But I don't really have a strong feeling that they really sent that person." Ellena expressed her dissatisfaction with just thinking about it.

Also, Aaron gave her his opinion.

"It was too stupid. If it was from the organization, they wouldn't make that simple mistake. It's too funny to think that he's targetting you. Maybe that's just a person from the past, or perhaps your cousin, who was left with no other choice but to escape."

"Even still, it was really stupid."

Then again, Ellena sighed.

'I can't remember having a cousin associated with who had blonde hair...'

"Anyway, I will accept your father's decision. But I will be the only one who'll leave, not my people until we find another place." Ellena said to Verxal.

"I really apologize for the outcome of this Ellena. It was embarrassing that we resorted to this decision. We couldn't manage enough violence since the guild master's exposure."

"Yes, thank you very much. This time, you can find me in the capital of Phobious territory. The preparation was done after all."

An awkward smile emerged from Verxal's lips, still embarrassed about what he had just said.

"Thank you for understanding."
