Zeryon may not have the heart as other demons. But that didn't mean he didn't understand what the consequences would be if the demons took control of the earth's surface.
Chaos, darkness, and endless suffering for earthlings. If humans were dying, the demons would not be able to obtain energy supplies. If they preserve the earth's surface then it was for the good of the demons themselves. Unfortunately, their souls were dominated by never ending lust and greediness.
Vargas' cell phone rang and he quickly stepped away to answer it.
A few minutes later, he returned to Zeryon and asked, "Is your cell phone off, sir?"
"Active." Zeryon fumbled in his trouser pocket and couldn't find his cell phone. "Did you see my phone," he asked.
"No, sir. It might have left it in the car. I'll find it later. But now you have to attend an emergency meeting."
"Was that an order from the academy head; Declan Warlock?"
"Precisely."
"Okay."
They parted ways as Zeryon Drax took long strides toward the assembly hall, while Vargas Nart returned to the parking lot.
While passing through the campus hallway. He could hear the ringing of the bell as the start of the announcement for the students.
"Attention, please! I will make an important announcement. Today's class is extended just until this noon. Because the teachers will be holding an emergency meeting. All students are welcome to leave campus. Thank you very much."
His steps stopped in a room dominated by white color guarded by a well-built guard. He immediately entered the hall. The room was open empty. He walked towards the end of the room. There was an iron door on the wall. Precisely functions as an elevator.
He pressed the elevator button and the elevator doors opened. He immediately entered the elevator and pressed the ground floor.
The elevator led to a basement that was inaccessible to everyone let alone the students.
The elevator door opened. He stepped out into the actual meeting room. The heat immediately spread throughout his body, even though there was an air conditioner installed on the wall.
He found the teachers already sitting at a table arranged with U letters. In front of him there was a projector board and a special table for meeting leaders and moderators.
"Hey my man, Zeryon!" A bill tall man said hello.
"You've been invited to a meeting too, Madrox." Zeryon came over to his friend.
"Of course. I'm also one of the invited guests on this campus," Madrok said, puffing out his chest.
"Yeah, I think you'd rather avoid the meeting and make excuses for not attending as usual." Zeryon's hand pulled up a chair, then he sat down beside Madrox.
"This time it's definitely different. This is an emergency meeting. There's bound to be a hot topic to talk about. Of course I don't want to lose any information." Madrox defended himself.
"You don't want to know. You saw that the meeting participants were just demoms and severals humans devoted themselves to demons. This is no ordinary meeting."
"Yes, I noticed that, my man."
Their conversation was diverted when the moderator asked the participants' attention. The meeting would get started.
Declan Warlock took his position at the front desk. His hairless head gleamed in the lights hanging from the ceiling.
Several men in luxurious black suits followed him and sat in the front. They are the dignitaries and the global elite. He could still remember the faces of the men, especially the man who seemed to have a terrible aura behind his old face. He still remember him. Duca Alastair.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today the emergency meeting will start soon," Moderator said.
The moderator explained to all participants that this meeting was related to the attack in the art party hall earlier. Zeryon had predicted this from the start.
"Today our campus hall was attacked. Therefore, I think we will discuss the best solution and anticipate if this happens again. With this, the meeting is opened. To the head of the academy, I invite you to start taking over this meeting." The moderator sat back down.
Declan Warlock seemed to tidy up his suit. Then he cleared his throat before he spoke, "Let's talk straight away. The attack on the party art hall was quite shocking. A demon just crawled out of the underworld. Meanwhile the hell portal was closed. How did this new demon suddenly get summoned?"
Declan cast a questioning look at the meeting attendees.
"And this demon is not just one, in several locations around the academy new demons have sprung up who are still unable to adapt to the life of the earth's surface. They wreak havoc at the trafic lights and in the marketplace," he continued.
Declan Warlock then stood up and turned on the projector. The screen shows a map of the United States. He pointed at the map with his laser pen. Then he began to explain again.
"The main portal is right in Hawaii. To the human eye it looks like a big mine. In fact it is the gateway of two worlds; the underworld and earth's surface. That's why the demons chose to stay in California and focused more on the city of San Francisco because it is not too far away."
The meeting participants listened to Declan's explanation carefully. Some were nodding and some were frowning their foreheads.
"Then, the surprising thing is, how can these demons appear together in this city. It's as if someone is calling and summon them. The information I got; the music teacher sang this song with her students. But it's impossible to have an element of power if sung without a jaw harp. It never happened before for thousands of years."
The meeting participants glanced at each other after they heard the academy head's explanation.
Zeryon had thought the same from the start. However, Gina was in music class. He was starting to worry that if the attendees thought she was involved, her life would be in danger.
