Chapter 249: Fuel My Progress

Chapter 249: Fuel My Progress

Varian grabbed Sarah's arm and pulled her behind him.
Under her surprised gaze, a large black and white disc-like space shuttle appeared.
It sped up to unbelievable speeds in an instant and Sarah only felt a blur before a huge shockwave from the space shuttle's speed hit them.
The wind was enough to blow away low awakeners and injure a Level 4.
Using her Body Awakener powers, she rooted herself on the ground and shielded her eyes with her arms.
When the wind died down, she quickly and curiously opened her eyes.
"Are you alright?" Varian turned back and asked her, his expression the same cold and indifferent from earlier.
"…" Sarah nodded slowly.
Before she could ask him further, his cold expression collapsed and he patted his chest. "Fortunately, I was worried."
"Worried? About…?" She asked, half curious and half expectant.
Varian said like it was a matter of fact. "Of course, the clothes! Thankfully, they're in my space ring."
Sarah blinked blankly and then gritted her teeth.
She hated clothes!
Soon, the planetary guard arrived and questioned them for a few minutes. Varian and Sarah agreed upon the common story.
The Shadow Order members came to assassinate Sarah. There was a Level 7 Shadow Guardian who appeared and fought them off before quickly taking them away.
Their narrative was a bit lacking.
There was no trace of space power on the scene.
However, it was their only choice.
The surveillance also 'showed' a Level 7 Space Awakener in all black appearing after everyone dispersed and taking away the Order members.
Of course, it was the handiwork of Boo.
The Planetary Guard left with sighs of wonder and amazement.
"Guardians…they just destroyed the Order's nest and now, they are even going for the remnants."
"Check the identity of everyone that entered! One of them is a member of the Guardians!"
"But sir, it's a disguise."
"We have a lead, idiot! We can start from there."
Varian shook his head and turned to Sarah. She put on a cold expression and walked to her hover car.
'Is she angry about the assassination?'
"…" He simply followed her in and soon, they reached the space port. Their venue was in outer space and Sarah said her space shuttle was under maintenance.
Thus, they reached the Starfish spaceport. The same spaceport he attended for the academy entrance test.
As he followed Sarah in, Varian had a feeling of Deja vu, yet also a feeling of rebirth.
His first arrival here was full of hope and anxiety.
He was still at Body Level 1: 50/100…
Now, even his lowest divine path was far ahead. More importantly, he found Sia.
'Haa!' Varian couldn't help but sigh.
Even thought it was just two months, he was feeling old.
He got a feeling that after a year, his life would irrevocably change. No. The moment he took this path, it already did.
Starfish spaceport has 8 terminals, each dedicated to a planet, including Pluto. The Pluto's terminal was long disbanded and used for other purposes.
One such purpose was for Entrance tests.
The other was…
"Private space shuttles?" Varian raised an eyebrow as he saw a fleet of luxurious space shuttles.
"Yes, sir. We have 80 private space shuttles and 40 charted space shuttles. You can…" The lounge attendant explained with pride before Sarah cut her off with a card.
The attendant's eyes nearly popped out when she stared at the card.
"I apologize! Please follow me." After deeply bowing to them, the young lady took them to a streamlined space shuttle.
It was a sleek red space shuttle. It was as big as a regular airplane but looked just much better. No. Except for dimensions, they couldn't be compared in any aspect.
Varian couldn't find any other term than 'sexy'.
"Have a safe trip! Once again, I apologize." The young lady waved them off.
Their venue was in the outer space, some thirty thousand miles from moon. It was apparently some fifteen minute journey.
The interior of the space shuttle was every bit luxurious as the exterior, if not more.
Varian first changed and after a few minutes saw Sarah coming out of a changing room.
Compared to the gorgeous look the previous dress gave, this soft blue one piece dress that leaned on the cuter side.
Of course, she still looked beautiful, save for her cold expression.
"I thought you weren't interested?" Varian asked.
Sarah glanced to the side and slowly said. "Father is attending…"
"Oh." Varian nodded in understanding and asked again. "Where's Anna?"
"In the venue. I stopped her from rushing here." She said, her expression still cold.
"…Did I perhaps make you angry?" Varian almost facepalmed after asking the stupid question.
Sarah looked at him and…nodded.
"Huh?" Varian's brain ran faster than light and he grasped the issue. "I was worried about you more than clothes, alright? Isn't that a no brainer?"
"I...That's not the issue." Sarah glanced to the side and stuttered.
"Then what did I do to make you angry?"? He realized she was lying, but to save her from embarrassment, he decided to play along.
Sarah thought hard and clapped. "Right! Where did they go?" Her cold expression was long gone, replaced by curiosity.
Inwardly, she heaved a sigh of relief. 'Finally some excuse.'
Varian chuckled at how fast she changed her expression and pointed to the ring on his hand. "All here."
The next moment, ghost ship expanded inside the space shuttle. The hatch opened and Varian led her in.
The inside was deadly quiet.
No screams.
No sounds.
Sarah tried hard, but even with her Level 6 Enhanced senses, she couldn't hear anything.
"Where are they?" She tugged his sleeve and asked.
Varian snapped his fingers and three enclosed rooms appeared in front of them. Inside, the three men were dazedly looking at the crystal wall.
Even when they walked in front of them, the three didn't respond.
Sarah turned to Varian and he answered promptly. "They can't see us."
"But why aren't they trying to get out?"
Varian's lips curled into a devilish smile. "Try? How can they?"
A robotic arm appeared in one of the rooms and he said. "Do you remember this guy? He's the body awakener."
The next moment, the metallic arm punched the guy in the gut and sent him flying across the room before he crashed onto the wall and slid down, leaving trails of blood on it.
Sarah's eyes widened as she covered her mouth.
It was barely 20 minutes...what the hell happened?
She turned to Varian and held her breath.
"I…dealt with a level 6 from Astor Clan a few weeks ago. I poisoned that guy and rendered him powerless." Varian said, his expression slowly turning cold. He still hated that guy.
"And I had an idea, if I can use Boo's speed to my advantage, I can take awakeners inside the spaceship before they can react and shut them inside these impenetrable rooms." He said lightly. "This is a ghost prison of sorts."
Of course, he only got this idea after that mysterious incident that ended up with him disintegrating those walls.
"What do you plan to do with them?"
"They?" Varian's lips curled up into a cold smile.? "…they'll fuel my progress."
