Chapter 178 Universal Dimensions War Preperation

Two days had passed, and spending time with everyone was enjoyable. I felt ready to finish the war quickly and return home.

Constance still hasn't returned yet, and I hope she does quickly. I hope the IUC will allow me to find a search party for her once I gain enough merit for this war.

"Linsey. How will we be getting there?"

Out of curiosity, I asked about our method of transportation. I could wait a moment later, but it never hurts to ask now. Like everyone I asked, she didn't answer and had a mysterious smile.

"You will know when we're on our way."

"Who are we missing?"

"Missing? We're waiting for someone."

I guess our method of traveling will depend on the person coming. While we were talking, it didn't take long before a person teleported.

"It's been a while, Charles."

"Nice to meet you too, Agnus."

Agnus had arrived. It had been a while since I last saw him. He was the man who helped me install the dragon heart inside me.

I was surprised to see him here. He was a big shot that would be hard for anyone to meet. While this matter was huge, he, a dragon, could afford these losses. The life span of a dragon varies from the amount of life force you have.

And from what I heard, the life force of Agnus should have reached more than five digits. More than what an average human could imagine.

"I heard many things from Linsey. You have grown tremendously."

Like a teacher talking to his student, Agnus was proud to see how far I had come. The training he gave helped me a lot. It may not look like I needed it due to my skill, but it was helpful for stamina-related activities. After making some small talk, Agnus finally got to the topic.

"Ten of our world has been engaged in combat in the past few days. From what Linsey had told you a few days ago, you could tell that our side is losing."

"The other side has about eight nine worlds while we have sixty nine."

I could now see why we were at a significant disadvantage. They have many more worlds participating in the war and would have more people in the fight.

"Let's talk in my office, we have more to do there."

Agnus opened a space portal that ripped through space. We entered the portal and saw more people in the room.

Meeting new people sure is great. When Agnus arrived at his office, the people around had welcomed him back.

"Before we start our meeting, let me introduce Charles."

Having me introduced by Agnus had a weird feeling. It wasn't nervousness, but being put in the spot gave me an indescribable feeling.

"He will be our lead combatant during this war if we have any hope then its him."

After I got introduced, Agnus hyped me up. Those who heard his words looked at me and started to observe.

Some had believed in Agnus' judgment, while others wondered what could be so special about me. Being treated like an object pissed me off, but I couldn't do anything in this situation and could only stay silent.

"Charles. Before we send you off to battle, do you have any wishes? Of course, we won't grant it right away. Once you show you abilities, we will try to grant your wish right away."

Instead of waiting around for the war to finish, Angus had allowed me to have a request. The request wasn't immediately put to use, but that shows how much Angus values me.

Those who knew Agnus were shocked by his proposal. For him to grant this meant a lot to the others. I had earned some stern from his underlings.

"There's a friend of mine that went missing in the hub, I hope you can find her. Is that request possible?"

"We do have resources that allow us to do that. We will find her immediately if you do well."

Even if Agnus immensely helped me, I couldn't trust his words entirely. He seemed to have read my thoughts and laughed loudly.

"If you're concerned, I could sign a geass."

When Agnus said that, I felt the glare of some of his colleagues. They really do be like that. Meeting people with admirers was annoying. These people don't think for themself.

After Agnus got the geass, we signed it immediately.

"Could I be deployed now? I want to get this over with."

[Third Person POV]

After telling Charles which world he needed to go to, Charles went to the destination alone. Linsey was left behind with Agnus and his men.

"Boss! Is there a need to do something like that?"

They were worried about his dignity being ruined. Being too accommodating would make people look down on that person.

"Matthew."

Agnus tried to calm down the speaker by calling out his name. For Agnus to do this because he recognizes Charles' talent.

As he had said earlier, he knew that Charles was someone that could turn the tides of this war. His instinct as a dragon was sharp. He couldn't see the future or anything like that, but his prediction was always correct.

"That child talent isn't something anyone could mess with. I only needed to give him a push for him to unleash those talents."

Agnus then looked at Linsey, who stood there. Even if Agnus and Linsey were aquatints due to their position, Agnus held more power overall.

"You're fortunate to have someone like him to be born on that planet. Sometimes I don't understand why a talent like this is born under rubble."

"What can I say? Luck's a big part of life. And I just so happened to land in one."

Despite their positions in the company, Agnus wasn't the type of person to care. Because he was a water dragon, he was more humbler than most dragons.

As for Agnus' colleagues, they began to track for more information.
