For months, Julius rest on his lodge deep within the mountain range with his companion as the world ravaged by chaos.
He watch the news, or rather, a courtesy of a citizen as they watch the government police and common people fight each other in urban places.
Julius can't call them rebels since he knows for himself that those people are truly in the right ones. Right in the law, right in place, and right in their minds.
No one even knows why does those police still serve the greedy officials.
However, this does not concern Julius. This people may have his sympathy, but that's all there is. He can't do anything about them nor even if he can, he just don't want to do anything.
It's as if he was fed up by the system of this world.
Even if he join them, it won't change the fact that the world is dying.
Sigh.
"This world really had gone crazy. What do you think, Ela?"
(I think we should get ready, master. Leaving this place within a month is favorable to us.)
Julius frown upon hearing her worried statement. Ela, for the last months, became like his mother as she keeps worrying for his wellbeing. However, that does not mean that he doesn't like it.
Someone worrying for you is genuinely felt good, even if it's an artificial person.
A smile escape his lips as he stare at the ceiling while hanging his head.
In a month, with no exact date. Julius will leave this place, this country, this world.
He does not know what he will see beyond that, heck, he doesn't even know if he can manage to pass the solar system.
But all he needs to do is trust his companion and everything will surely go as plan.
And as if fate was trying to mess with them.
Knock knock
A knock, which is unusual in a place hidden in a mountain range, was heard.
"Ela, look who's it."
Ela immediately starts to scan the area outside, and as if her worries were answered. Multiple government vehicle parked in front of it. No, surrounding his cabin.
(They're all there master. The one with the guns, what do we do?!)
Ela starts to panic as she rush herself towards her master to warn him. However, Julius didn't even faze after hearing her.
"Don't worry, we have an escape plan remember?"
(Wait, you don't mean that we will leave in front of them?!)
A smirk appear on his face and starts to prepare the devices he will need. After finishing, he soon head towards the metal door followed by his own companion.
There, it opens automatically and reveals a huge space with a large complex oval structure in the middle.
Julius made a warm smile as he stare at the grandious mechanics that they have been working on since the past three months.
Yes, it's their ship.
Julius look at his companion who have a worried expression visible on her only one-eyed face.
"Are you ready?" he said as they hurriedly walk towards the activated machinery.
"Is he still there?" ask by a person in a suit.
"No, I dont think so."
"Shit, what do we do now?"
"It's possible that he escape. We should try to infiltrate him in the other side. Try to contact the others."
"This is Alpha, the fox has escaped. Begin the hunt."
Inside the Malacañang Palace, there stood at the presidential sit, is the current president, or rather, new ruler of the Philippines.
"President Miguel, It seems the fugitive have escaped its den. But the team had started to infiltrate him."
"No worries, just find him. And please don't even try to touch him aggressively. Remember, we need him."
This person is Miguel Constantine. He is the 19th president of the Philippines, as well as Julius stepfather.
The reason why Miguel wants his stepson is because of his prodigical mind that far exceed normal means. Which basically means, an asset to his country, a country which he will soon rule.
For another reason, he wants Julius to work in order to save the planet. Which can become a reason to become favorable to other countries.
Using his mother as the hostage. Miguel is sure as hell that Julius won't be able to deny him.
However, that is what he thought would happen.
"What?! Can you repeat that again?!"
"Yes, we were able to enter the cabin where Mr. Julius reside, however, nothing of sort were found. Only a piece of paper that contains nothing important."
"What's the content?"
"Nothing impor-"
"What. Is. The. Content. Of. The. Letter?"
"A-ah yes, it just say that..."
You can have that dog.
Miguel punch the surface of his desk upon hearing the content. Miguel is not dumb enough not to know the meaning of this.
It's as if he's abandoning his mother.
'That ungrateful brat. I am sure as hell that you will face extreme consequence.'
"Double the size of the team. Don't even let a single path of escape be used by that person!"
"Y-yes, your excellency!"
The fat person immediately run off from his office. Knowing he was left alone, he massage his forehead while thinking about the pressures and burdens he will carry in the future.
He definitely need Julius.
If not for his mother's attitude, he might have been by his side since the beginning.
That person's intelligence level is simply unimaginable.
Suddenly.
Another person some running to his office interfering his thought.
"Sir, a rocket-like vehicle starts to fly off the vicinity. According to the team, it's the suspected machinery!"
"Then what are you all doing!? Shoot it down! Don't even let that person escape!"
"But sir, you just told us not to harm him."
"Then change the plan! At least keep him conscious!"
However, as they speak, Julius's spacecraft starts to ascent. Leaving the people near the place dumbfounded as they see a small vehicle leave their place in a flash.
