My Vampire System novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539 What family?

Most of the soldiers had decided to head back to their temporary base that they had out on the field. While three of the men, including Lieutenant Bugen, had decided to come on board the ship. When entering, even though they wished to keep their composure, it was hard for them too.

Their eyes continued to dart around the room at the spectacle that the ship was. They knew that there couldn’t be many in existence being made of this caliber. Most likely the military only had a few. This was why, when they first saw it, they believed it was coming from headquarters. It was a big surprise when they saw head general Paul on board.

One of the rooms on the ship was a meeting room, and it was made for situations just like this and they were on their way heading there now. In order to not make things look suspicious. The others including Quinn were acting like Paul was their leader.

They followed him behind as a group while Paul talked to the lieutenant. They were quite a distance away. So much so that the lieutenant thought he would be free to speak without the others hearing him. Unknown to him that most of the kids had super hearing abilities and could hear every word that was spoken.

"Is it okay for them to come along with us for this meeting?" Bugen asked.

There were a few things Bugen found strange when entering the ship. The first being how empty it was. Seeing the thing, they thought a whole fleet would be on board. He never expected there to be so few people. The second problem was that said people.

They were a bunch of kids to put it politely. Most of them looked extremely young. It didn’t make sense why a head general was even with them in the first place. However, only a head general would be able to have access to a ship such as this one.

"They are with me, it’s fine, they will not be a problem. The situation is an odd one, but for now, they are under my direct command. I’m sure we both have a few things to talk about." Paul replied.

Turning his head, Bugen still wasn’t sure, and as soon as his eyes met Quinn’s he turned away.

When entering the meeting room, there were chairs that were scattered around the edges of the room, not too far off from the table in the center. Then there were also a few chairs around the table.

In a meeting like so, it wasn’t normal for one to have their whole crew sitting at the table. One would usually bring only a couple of men with them, and Paul knew this, so he made some quick decisions.

He asked Quinn, Vorden, and Logan to come with him and sit at the main table for the meeting. While the others sat on the chairs around the edge. They could still hear what was going on in the meeting but couldn’t really interject or be a part of it.

"Oh, they will be joining us?" Bugen said, surprised. He actually wasn’t but wanted to know if there was something special behind picking these.

"You will be surprised how talented these kids are." Paul replied. "I believe they will be some of the people to lead us in the future."

To them, it may have sounded like a stray comment, but deep down, Paul actually felt that way a little. He really did think these three were different from the other students he had met before.

After sitting down, it was time for the meeting to commence. Paul was the highest rank, so he would be taking charge and asking most of the questions. The three boys at the table knew they wouldn’t be able to interject much.

"First question, since we are here. What happened to Dreamland? I find it hard to believe that a city that was protected by Truedream would just disappear overnight?" Paul asked.

The lieutenant paused for a bit before he answered and then spoke slowly.

"That’s actually why we are here, the truth is we don’t know what happened."

A confused look appeared on all of their faces, and this only confirmed Bugen’s thoughts.

"Sir, if I may ask, how long were you gone for?"

"I was assigned a special task by the supreme commander. We were on a red portal planet doing some investigations for a little over a month. Unfortunately, my team ran into some difficulties. They are currently missing. At the time we were mentoring a group of students from the second military base."

"These here are the only ones that have returned with me. When we arrived at the second base. Everything was destroyed. The soldiers were dead and there was nothing left of the school. After getting on board the ship we proceeded to head onto the nearest city and that’s when we located you."

A deep frown was seen on Bugen’s face as if he was struggling with what to say.

"A month, was it really only that long ago when things were normal?" Bugen spoke to himself. "I suppose you really don’t know what has happened then."

From the tone of his voice, it sounded serious, and the others were listening intently.
