Third person POV
But, suddenly, one of the cloaked members caught Robert and Harold for eavesdropping on their conversation, and he stood up and shouted, "Intruders!"
The rest then got alerted by it, and they, including their leader, stand up and looked around them for any intruder.
Robert and Harold then got terrified by it then, and they showed up in front of them, with Robert saying to them, "Um, hi?"
The secret group they were facing is the Old Faction.
The leader of the Old Faction, only known as the Grand Founder, then commanded his members to attack them.
"This is not good," Robert responded to this.
"We're dead," Harold added.
One of the members then summoned light magic using both of his hands and fired it as a beam of light towards Robert and Harold.
Robert then responded by summoning an Electric Barrier using magic, blocking the beam of light magic, which is known as Light Beam, with immediate effect.
Seeing this, the Grand Founder was shocked, commenting, "Impossible! Are you a Lightningheart or something?"
Deactivating the Electric Barrier, Robert responded, "Yes, I am a Lightningheart. Anyway, we heard everything. Are you going to stage a coup?"
"H-How did you know that?" one of the members stammered. "Are you studying law or something?"
"No, I just know that," answered Robert seriously.
He then looked at Harold. "Harold-kun, let's run."
"R-Right!" Harold responded, before he and Robert turned around and sprinted out of the lair.
Thinking that they would tell their plan to the king, the Grand Founder commanded two of his members to catch them.
Two of his members, with one of them being a Lightheart, then nodded in obedience, and they started to chase after Robert and Harold, with the Lightheart member activating his wings and flew with the other member, who was a human assassin.
While running for their lives, Robert and Harold jumped above the gate and ran across the tunnel as fast as they can as the two Old Factions are chasing them.
The assassin member then jumped above the locked gate while the Lightheart member just flew over it.
Looking back at them, Robert turned back and shouted in despair, "Oh, man! They're chasing us! Run for your life, Harold-kun!"
"I know!" Harold shouted back.
Not long after, they arrived at the same door where they went in, and they managed to get out, before Robert would shut the door immediately while barricading.
Sol and the others are outside for the whole time waiting for them to come out.
"Woah, what's going on there, Robert?" Sol asked upon seeing his frantic and panicking face.
"We just…meet a secretive group," Robert answered back while breathing and panting for his breath.
"A secretive group?" Jeremiah responded in semi-confusion.
Before Robert would answer, the two Old Faction members are now at the door, trying to pull it open as Robert tried to keep is shut.
The rest got surprised with alert by that, and Emma asked, "Who the hell is trying to pull the door?"
"I think it's them," Harold responded.
In a quick response to this, Sol said to Robert, "I know, let go of that door. I got this."
Robert then obliged and let go of the door, causing the two members to open it by pulling and showed up in front of them.
