The father immediately had an almost overwhelming sense of certainty about this.

"Kyle!!! It's Dad!!! Please answer me!!!"

The crowd had almost evacuated the area, except for a few scattered bodies lying on the ground, but the father continued to shout loudly.

Sounds of explosions could be heard everywhere, the smoke in the air was thickening, and he could only wave his hands constantly to drive away the mist while ensuring clear visibility as he advanced.

In the corner of his vision, a set of extremely familiar clothes appeared.

On the clothes, there was a badge they, father and son, bought last year as a souvenir when they went on a trip to the seaside. The father saw it and immediately rushed forward.

"Kyle!!!"

Lying on a bench for resting was indeed Kyle without a doubt. The father hurried over and embraced his son.

Kyle barely opened his eyes, still unsure of what had happened, and could only let out a faint groan.

"Dad...?"

"It's okay, sweetie, we're safe now..."

While speaking gently, the father checked Kyle's arms and legs for any injuries.

"Um, what's this?"

On the back of Kyle's neck was a sky-blue hexagon. Initially, the father thought it was a sticker or some kind of tattoo that kids often play with. But when exactly... Well, that's something to think about later. The priority was to quickly evacuate to a safe place!

With that in mind, the father stood up with all his strength, holding Kyle, preparing to move towards the outskirts of the city.

Just then, a jumble of footsteps came from behind, as if many people were running towards them.

"Are there survivors here? Are you okay?!"

It turned out to be a militia soldier! The father's expression lit up with some joy.

If it was a soldier, they would surely be able to relocate him and his son to a safe place quickly.

"Friend, my child fell..."

"Is he injured? We can arrange immediate treatment, of course, be clear about the situation."

"Um, I'm not really sure about that, we got separated halfway, so..."

The militia soldier reassured him that it was not necessary to explain to everyone, perhaps there were emergency state manuals or something similar?

In any case, the medical team behind them quickly unfolded a stretcher and placed Kyle on it.

Inside the vehicle, a female soldier provided care beside him, she looked at Kyle’s slightly dirty face for a while before finally exhaling.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

She reassured Kyle while checking his complexion and consciousness, then nodded to the nearby doctor.

"Take him to the emergency room, the child's father, please come along."

"Please save my child, I... please!"

The nurse nodded and followed the doctor, pushing Kyle into the emergency room.

The emergency room was chaotic at this moment, with tourists and staff injured or feeling unwell while trying to escape. Perhaps due to nerves at the moment he was lifted onto the stretcher, Kyle became very cooperative.

When the soldiers laid him on a makeshift bed, he seemed unable to bear it any longer, so he began restlessly moving his legs and gazing up at his father.

"Dad, I..."

"Be quiet."

The father tightly held Kyle's small hands with both of his palms and gently shook his head.

"Before the doctor finishes the examination, you must be honest." "Hmm... okay, Dad." Kyle reluctantly nodded. At that moment, his father thought to himself, it was probably due to the appearance of seriously injured personnel that the hospital corridor suddenly became chaotic again.

The doors of the emergency room swung open, followed by a large number of soldiers. Recognizing that these individuals were not local security forces, their attire was strikingly similar to that of the Alliance Army, but with certain elements exuding a sense of elite Alliance military, yes, it was—The Western Alliance Army!

"Emergency notice! Effective immediately, Des Energy City and its surrounding border areas will all fall under the jurisdiction of the Western Alliance. Everyone is to obey our instructions, and your East Alliance commander has been lawfully dealt with by our forces."

Standing at the forefront of the soldiers was a young woman with a beautiful face and a graceful demeanor, immediately making everyone overlook her identity as an invader! After all, she seemed to be the epitome of beauty and talent, though her gaze appeared slightly stern, possibly due to the glasses she wore.

"Des Energy City and the air transport center are temporarily suspended. We have set up temporary tents in the square outside the factory for everyone. Therefore, those who have undergone medical examination are to rest there temporarily, and..."

"Why should we?!"

Suddenly, a towering eight-foot soldier emerged from the crowd, clearly a member of the East Alliance security forces. He stepped forward to rebuke the female officer, even indicating a willingness to confront her.

"Our East Alliance territory is not yours, Western Alliance, to occupy at will... Ugh, gah!!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the charming female officer swiftly drew her dagger, and with lightning speed, traced a graceful curve in the air. Everyone was stunned by the beauty of the motion, followed by loud screams, indicating the situation was spiraling out of control.

"It's alright, darling, we'll be safe. Please don't make a scene," the father quickly covered Kyle's eyes and whispered.

*Sobbing* "Hmm!"

"...Quiet!!!"

A gunshot rang out, finally restoring peace to the room. The female officer acted nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened, and proceeded with her instructions.

"Let's continue. Those who have not been examined and medical personnel, please proceed to the medical tents. From now on, no East Alliance personnel are allowed to enter this medical facility!"

As she spoke, chaos erupted in the emergency room as soldiers followed her lead, dividing the crowd into those 'examined' and 'not yet examined,' then escorting them to their respective areas. Truly, the Western Alliance, with its technological superiority over the East Alliance by fifty years, displayed a professional crisis management approach (laughs without saying a word).

"You... stop right there!"

Father and Kyle moved towards the back of the queue heading to the rescue tents when someone lightly tapped his shoulder.

"The child who evacuated last in front of the factory, is this one, right?"

It was the female officer leading the soldiers, with glasses, who approached Kyle without a sound.

"I am a commander from the Alliance Army, and I would like to discuss—about this child with you. Please come with us."

"Discuss?"

"Keep it down!" She gestured by placing a finger to her lips.

"I know what you want to say, but could you please follow our instructions first."

It was from that moment on that a power began to grow inside Kael, a power he had not been able to fully control so far. This power was valued by the Alliance, who benefited from it and dared to extract the Evil Entity recklessly and implant it into the armed mechs.

"Let's talk about the details on the way, it's too crowded here."

What exactly happened in such a subtle way, and what's wrong with Kael?

Although both Kael and his father were full of questions at this moment, the other person was a high-ranking figure in the Alliance military, so what could they say?

"...Okay, we are willing to follow orders!"

Although his father looked reluctant, he could only nod at this moment.

The Alliance, a terrifying organization originally created to unify all countries, had its power stolen by certain individuals, becoming a standalone massive organization wielding the world's largest military force!

From that moment on, the Alliance was dragged into an irredeemable abyss.

Afterward, the soldiers from the Western Alliance disguised as severely injured were evacuated and boarded Alliance's spacecraft to leave.

Whatever the case, the fact that a high-ranking Alliance figure happened to come to the Energy City meant that something big had happened or was about to happen there.

Her sudden appearance was probably not a stroke of luck. Although the beautiful woman who claimed to be an Alliance military commander said that they would soon be taken to the safe zone, Kael's father whispered something to him, immediately causing his heart to leap into his throat.

"Remember, don't easily trust those from the Western Alliance; they are a group of cunning and deceitful people... no, cunning and deceitful is in their nature!"

They were the ones specifically dealing with 'Evil Entity carriers'.

Why did Kael think it was lucky for them to show up at the factory back then?

No, no matter what, as long as his son was safe, it didn't matter.

In his heart, father was very vigilant, watching the few soldiers around Kael as if looking for an opportunity to escape with him at any moment.

However, without much explanation, they had already been taken to a new military zone established by the Western Alliance under the East Alliance's expansion.

Although she had said details would be discussed on the way, even during the flight, medical personnel were just on standby.

But since the other party said it was for the safety of his son, what else could he say?

Father was really at a loss at that moment, even forgetting about his daughter and wife.

"I wonder how they're doing now... Well, you must be feeling the same way, Kael."

Curled up in his father's arms, Kael fell fast asleep, likely exhausted.

Kael was immediately placed in another room by himself, so he must be feeling scared, right?

At the thought, father found himself unable to fall asleep.

"I always blame others to survive, it seems like it's coming back to me now as karma."

He was very concerned about what the Alliance military commander had mentioned about the Evil Entity carriers, you see... he was an expert in this field. The existence of the Evil Entity left people clueless, but at least he understood that the probability of children becoming Evil Entity was very low. Children showing signs of evil intentions at this age generally were not so easily transformed into mindless beings, yes, that must be it!!!
