CHAPTER NINETY-TWO Hudderson drove for more than five hours, but the determination to find the cure for his sick daughter kept him going. He had decided not to stop until he got to the mountain, prompting him to leave very early that morning.But the fuel gauge on his dashboard was a reminder that he needed to fill his tank if he was ready to make it back with his car and enough fuel when he was done with what he had gone to the mountain to do. Since he had left Mog a very long time ago, it was hard to tell where he was going to get fuel since he was not familiar with the Territory.That was a City, but it looked almost deserted. Hudderson had to slow down while he was on the lookout for a fuel station, and after driving into places he didn’t consider suitable for over thirty minutes, he still couldn’t find anything.“What kind of godforsaken place is this?” He grunted, clenching the steering wheel tightly. He was about to give up when he saw the smoke rising from the sky.It was

CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR Ten minutes were passed, but Hudderson was yet to come out of his car. He remained silent, looking around and completely unbothered by the number of men who had surrounded him. About twenty more had come out from different corners, holding onto so many things that looked like weapons. Hudderson was silent, composed, and cautious, his eyes hawking from one corner to the other.Even though everything he could see read signs of danger, he didn’t feel threatened.He had not seen anything that was supposed to make him worried, his eyes moving to the entrance of the building. A few minutes later, the leader of the bikers tapped on his window, and he turned to look at him.The man gestured to Hudderson to roll down his glass, and he hesitated for a while before he reluctantly pushed the button beside him. “Come down.” The man instructed, his countenance displaying command even though his voice sounded calm. Hudderson stared at him for a while, and then he took a de

“Mog City, you say?” She inquired, and Hudderson nodded. “Yes, Lydia. I came all the way from Mog City, and I would be very grateful if you would be kind enough to help,”“Of course!” Lydia nodded, and all of a sudden, the nervous look on her face vanished.“I will be very glad to help you, Hudderson. That’s not a big deal. You shall have enough fuel to continue your journey, and I don’t mind giving you some extra just to make sure that you don’t get stranded on your way back to your city.”Hudderson nodded. “Thank you.” He whispered, and even though he forced a smile, it was very obvious in his eyes that he didn’t trust Lydia.There was something off about her smile, and even though he couldn’t figure it out yet, he was still reminded that she seemed a bit nervous at the mention of Mog City. Lydia cleared her throat, her body language indicating that she was trying to hide her true feelings.“I have heard so much about Mog City, Hudderson. I have heard about your vast economy, the

Taron gasped as soon as he saw this, turning to the Supreme Ruler whose anger was burning like magma."What have you done?” He muttered, his heart sinking into his belly.He couldn’t look at Hudderson, his eyes were just focused on the men who were ignorant of the fact that Hudderson was standing by the corner, watching as they hammered his car parts and dragged out as many parts as they could.Taron marched forward, and grabbing one of the men by the neck, he snatched the steering wheel he was holding from him and growled at him, panting heavily.“What’s the meaning of this?! Have you lost your senses?!”This left everyone speechless, and while they stopped everything they were doing, they turned to Taron, some of them dropping the objects they were holding. Taron turned to Hudderson, and when he saw his increasing rage, he swallowed hard, unable to find his composure.“Who instructed to destroy this car?!” He asked, looking around him.He was angry and scared at the same time, his

CHAPTER HUNDRED “Yes! Yes, Supreme Ruler!” Taron nodded, and then he got up from his knees, wiping the tears all over her face. He turned to the men, and unbothered that they were weak, he forced them to stand. “Get up, all of you!” He ordered, grabbing a rod from the ground. “I am going to strike you if you don’t get up and fix the car you damaged!” He lifted the rod, ready to strike the man in front of him. All the men were forced to rise to their feet, and even in their battered states, they hurriedly grabbed the parts of the car and began to reassemble them at once. Hudderson inched closer to his car, stood, and watched with his hands folded. When the men saw him, they were afraid, hastening up with the car. “Hurry up, all of you!” Taron fired, turning to the Supreme Ruler. He saw the impatience glittering in Hudderson’s eyes, and he cleared his throat, pleading with his eyes. “They will soon be done, Supreme Ruler.” He assured, his voice weak and low.
