The Dark Side Of Fate

131 The Phone Call

~Sylvester~

Leo’s explanation made a lot of sense, and I was afraid and eager simultaneously.

I was afraid we might not be able to help Jake, but keen that Yuri would reach out to me.

It was about time he did so.

If there was anything I could read about his personality was that the man was very arrogant.

He must believe he had the upper hand for him to remain silent after all that had happened.

Not having any dealings with him also made me nervous.

What if Yuri was dead, and we were just dealing with an illusion?

He wasn’t anywhere. No one seems to be able to point out his location. He was like a ghost.

What if he had killed over somewhere and someone, maybe his child, was trying to realise his dream by all means? It was a wild guess, but anything could be possible with how everything was unfolding.

“You say they are on their way?” I asked Leo, and he nodded.

I could tell he was a bit stressed out. I would be too.

Too many things were happening around him. He needed a breather; we all did. I hoped we would get it soon because I was tired.

We waited for Erik in the hallway, and he joined us.

He still had his lab coat on. He must have been interrupted in the middle of something.

“Hope we did not interrupt a process?’ I asked him, and he shook his head.

“Not at all, your majesty. Nelson is becoming a pro, you see. He is handling it effectively. The Agk32 is almost ready. I plan to start working on the improved version tonight. I am still studying Leo’s genetic and DNA patterns to understand the code that enables him to retain his alpha capacity,” He said, and I nodded.

I did not understand anything he was saying. My mind was muddled up with worry and uncertainties.

“That is great news. Worst case, we would use the old formula. Another rash would not be a deterrent for the cause,” David said, and even though it was meant to be a joke, no one laughed. The situation was dire, and we all knew it.
