THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 126 I'm Doomed

Sitaram and Gnan were having chat. Gutherson was there too.

Gutherson said, " It's been 10 years. I don't know what kind of situation both of them are in. I'm worried."

Sitaram said, " Logan and others are looking all right. That means they are still alive at least. Don't worry. They will be alright. They are smart kids."

Gnan said, " But it's been 10 years since they entered the maze. What if they are struck inside? What if they couldn't find their way out?"

Gutherson asked, " Boss! Have you tried to know about their situation through Logan or Alwyn?"

Sitaram said, " No. They are in maze. I don't want to disturb them. I thought that it's better to talk to them only if Arjun makes initiative. If they are in the middle of a battle when we tried to have communication with them, then their is a chance that they will die in enemy's hands. We know it better than anyone else, that one should not lose their focus from their enemy, until unless your enemy is dead for good. That's why I didn't try to have any communication with them. I even forbid Logan, Alwyn and Adam from talking with them."

Gnan said, " So you already have taken the safety measures for them."

Sitaram replied with a smile. At that time a 28 years old young man with golden hair came hurriedly and entered the room.

Sitaram looked at that young man and asked, " What is it? Why are you in such a rush, Logan?"

It was Logan. After 10 years he turned 28 at the moment.

Logan said with excitement, " Boss and Rick are out! They left the maze. They are on their way back to home. Boss asked me to inform you!"

"WHAT???",Shouted everyone in excitement. They Started to laugh loudly.

Sitaram said, " I think both of your hearts are at ease now."

" Yes!" , replied Gutherson and Gnan at the same time. They were all smile at the moment.

Later the news spread all over the palace. Aeron, Kiera and Alwyn joined the happiest moment. Brooks was busy with the welcome banquet for Arjun. Arjun gave message of his return to Adam too. So John, Samantha and Adam also joined them. All of them are eager to meet their kids who are returning after a very long time.

----------

Arjun and Rick were on their way home. They were very eager to meet their family. The maze palace separated them for 10 years. They came out after a very long time. But the distance between them and Weissan City is very huge. It takes almost one month for them to return.

Rick said in frustration, " D*mn it! I'm very eager to meet grandfather and others. But we have to cross bloom kingdom's border and we have to reach Nora kingdom. Only then we will reach Weissan city. But it takes so much of time."

Arjun said, " You are right. We didn't feel this frustrated when we left the Adventure's a.s.sociation 10 years ago. I guess we should do something about it."

Rick asked in surprise, " What do you mean?"

Arjun said, " I'm planning to start my career as Goldflame after we go back. I have an idea. Why don't we create portals between different places all around the world. What I mean is, a transport type portal between one place to another."

Rick was thrilled. He said, " That would be awesome. It will solve a lot of transportation problems. It also save a lot of time for everyone. It will give an instant fame for Goldflame!"

Arjun said, " That's why I don't want people to learn the true ident.i.ty of Goldflame. Once we create those portals, it won't be long before the world start to suspect about my ident.i.ty as a Willpower user. Any products that is created using Inner Will produces different aura compared to the products created using magic power. It will be a matter of time before world learns about us. When they figure out that it is actually not one but five to six people who could use the Inner Will, then it will be a disaster for all of us."

Rick said, " Well! I think it's better to discuss it with grandpa and others first. We will do whatever we can after that."

Arjun nodded his head and said, " That's the only possible option we have."

At that time they sensed someone following them. They sensed the presence of a person who is following them for a while. Both Arjun and Rick stopped moving.

Arjun said in a loud voice, " Whoever you are. Just come out."

There was a bush behind them. When Arjun said to come out, that bush moved for a while. Later a person around 20 years old came out. That person walked near them slowly and steadily and stopped at some safe distance from Arjun.

That person smiled and said, " You found me. It looks like you are good. But not anymore. Take out all your belongings and put it on the ground. Maybe I'll consider to leave you alive if you be obedient."

Arjun replied, " We are sorry. Maybe next time. But today we don't want to stop. Stay away from us."

That person was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say after that. So he took out a knife from his pocket.

He said, " Trying to act like a big shot? Well. Now we will see how you act like a big shot. Take out all your belongings or else..."

Before he could continue a voice came from very close to his ears, " Or else what exactly do you think you can do?"

That person was stunned. He looked back and found Arjun standing behind him very close to his body. He was stunned. He looked at the original position where both Rick and Arjun actually stood. There was no one there.

He was wondering where exactly Rick gone. At that time he heard another voice from other side of his ear.

" Are you looking for me?"

He looked back and found Rick standing very close to his body at other side. What stunned him even more is, that Rick is holding the same knife which he took out to blackmail them. When he looked in his hand, he found that the knife was gone. He understood that the knife in Rick's hand was actually his knife. It's just that Rick took it from his hands and he didn't even knew about it. The speed through which they moved was proof enough that Arjun and Rick were not any ordinary common John Doe like him. He figured out that they have supernatural powers.

He said to himself, " I'm doomed!"
