After a while, Peter walked into the meeting room. There were only an old man and two middle age men with resolute faces inside. As for the rest, obviously, they had evacuated fast earlier.
However, Peter didn’t care much as he had already told his brothers to go after them.
With him as a living radar, it’s an impossible wish to escape from their hands.
“Hello, Marshal Washington. My apologies for making a scene like this.”, Peter greeted politely to the old man.
The old man’s eyes flickered slightly and asked sternly, “Brat, what have you done! Do you know the followup consequences of your actions? The federation isn't going to easily recover from this mess.”
Peter moved his body slightly and asked back calmly, “Wasn’t it already in a mess before that? I’m just rooting out some harmful weeds in our garden. Old man, you’re too soft on them. If you took action early, the things wouldn't have become bad to this point.”
The old man motioned his men to sit and said, “You brat, your courage got bigger a lot. I admit that it was also a mess before that. After all, that is human nature we're fighting against. I like what you did but I can’t do the same thing.
Evidences! You need enough evidences to clear these cancer cells like parasites sucking the blood of our federation. But, look at what you did. It’s a mess. We need to take a gentle and better approach than this. Of course, everything is beyond the patching program now.”
The old man angrily scolded and sighed, “It’s a good thing that you stepped into the occult world. At that time when you moved into San Christobal, I was still hesitating whether to let you know about their existence or not.”
Then, he looked at the tall man in fully enclosed armor and said, “What! Don’t you even wanna let your own grandfather see your face?”
Peter smiled deeply and took off his helmet. He looked at the old man and said, “Long time no see, old man. Actually, I wanted to pay a visit to you. But things were changing too fast and I decided to not bring you more trouble. I’m already married. Moreover, it’s with two beautiful girls. I also adopted a little girl.”
Then, he took out a photo album book from his space ring and introduced his family to his grandfather.
Old man looked at the family photo of four and sighed, “Bella would be really happy to see this. It's a pity that I could not even attend your wedding. It's all that damn brat Lucid's fault. He took my daughter away.”
Hearing his mom’s name, a sad thought still flashed across his mind. Nevertheless, Peter smiled and said after he took back the photo album book into the space ring, “I believe that mom is blessing us from above.”
Thinking about that gentle and kind woman in his memory, Peter firmly believed that the noble soul like his mother would be welcomed by a lot of gods. She’s really special unlike his dad. He sighed, "May be she's already reincarnated into the next life. I wish the best for her."
The old man rubbed his eyes and said in a low voice, “I have a feeling that your parents might not be dead yet. Actually, I’ve been secretly investigating about what exactly happened on that day twenty years ago during all, all these years as much as I can.
Since you have already stepped into the occult world, I can tell you about something earlier than I planned before. Listen to me. This mysterious occult world is just a tip of iceberg, son.
There used to be twin planets rotating around each other unlike only one today. One is known as Tera and the other one is called Theia. We’re now living on Tera but Theia disappeared at some point.
Finally, I found out a big secret in a booklet after many efforts. Billions year ago, a big war happened between the two planets for unknown reason. You may not believe it but Theia, she is now actually in another space. And, there is a secret passage between Tera and Theia.
You may wonder why I’m bringing up these things here but the last place your parents appeared before they went missing was at the gas station a mile away from that secret passage.
That’s all I could find out. I believe that they might have accidentally got into Theia and might still be living at there. Son, I hope that you could find them and take them to see me before I die.”
Peter looked at the old man complicatedly. After all, he’s his own maternal grandfather related by blood. At that year, he’s sent to an orphanage after his parents were reported as missing and dead. He's just a eight years old brat but he remembered a lot of things clearly.

He had never seen nor heard of his father’s family but he knew that he still had a grandfather in his maternal family. Moreover, he’d met with him too for a few times every year. At that time, he really resented a little bit for placing him in the orphanage.
However, after he grew up, he started to realize how much this old man in front of him sheltered him and wanted to give him a warm environment to grow up. After all, the old man was too busy to take care of him even if he took him in.
Moreover, he didn’t have a hard time at all at the orphanage. It’s until when he turned sixteen, he hacked into Pentagon and only then he knew that his grandpa’s identity was unusual. Before that, he only thought that his grandfather might be an extremely busy banker.
Since then, he understood that it might be also to hide and protect him better.
With a very high IQ, he went to serve in the military for several years. Then, he discharged and switched into a detective. After several years, he became a famous detective. Sadly, he was a little arrogant and it ultimately cost the lives of his teammates and almost took his life too.
As for he, himself, he escaped alive thanks to the secret guards of his grandfather. Still, he’s cursed.
Peter put on the helmet again and said, “They’re coming. The trial is going to start. By the way, grandpa, you also didn’t participate in that thing, right?”
The old man leaned back on the chair and said calmly, “Do you think that I would do that kind of lowly things? And, remember these two men. This guy is Frey and he’s Jack. They’re from zone zero and they used to be your secret guards back then.”
In the middle, the old man seemed to remember something and introduced his two men after he hurriedly took out a small booklet from his jacket’s inner pocket and gave it to Peter.
Peter took a serious look at the two men who kept silence from the start to the finish for a second and nodded at his grandfather. Then, he took took out a tier two space ring and gave it to his grandfather. After that, they acted like strangers again.
After a while, the door opened. A group of middle age men in uniforms reluctantly walked in with cold and angry faces.
Peter looked at them and said cheerfully, “Welcome, all big men, the true power holders of our republic. I’ve no choice but to invite you all in this rough way of mine to do something good. I bet that you all already knew what would be waiting ahead.
Yes, it's the trial. Bingo! Let’s begin without wasting anymore time. Don't worry. I'll give you a fair trial. Only guilty will be judged.”
Then, he took out the trial rod again, activated it and asked, “Did you either participate in the actions or support any move of the criminal network which kept hunting the children to make something called the youth potions?”
Several people looked ugly and stayed silent while the rest simply denied it. Especially, several generals and the marshal of fourth command office seemed really looked ugly and angry.
A minute later, Peter took back the trial rod into his space ring and walked out of the room.
In the room, the three marshals looked ugly while looking at the ashes of several familiar people.
Especially, marshal Washington felt angry as one three stars general from the army also failed to pass the trial. After all, those three stars generals in the army were all handpicked by him carefully.
Compare to the army, the other two command offices were hit by a big blow as each lost half.
Before, there were like nearly thirty generals in the room. After the trial, only sixteen people remained.
The army branch looked better with six people including the marshal. Air force got five people.
The navy surprisingly only remained four people. The most surprising thing was the sole survivor of the space branch, the three stars general Luke Tyon. As for the marshal Douglas Crusol, he died too.
While the three marshals were having headaches over how to make up and solve the followup troubles, Peter had already retreated back to their vehicles with his brothers. There’s no accident.
The five aircraft flew up in an extremely fast speed from the Pentagon into the atmosphere and then they disappeared. When the fighter jets’ pilots adjusted their missiles’ targets, their opponents had already disappeared from their radars and also from their sights in a flash.
The whole attack on the Pentagon only lasted around seven minutes from the start to the finish.
But, it was enough for already highly alerted air force due to the news of attack on capitol hill to react.
Moreover, the jets took off because they saw the live report about the white house being attacked.
However, the terrorists who attacked the white house retreated fast when they arrived at the scene. Their response was late.
Then, they got the news about the pentagon being attacked again by the same group of terrorists.
How could they bear it! So, the two stars general Logan Bold, the commander of Washington airforce base, directly told his jets to go and guard the air space above the pentagon. He wanted them to wait and ambush the strange aircraft of terrorists in one go.
The ace pilots of fighter jets group composed of twenty jets obeyed their general’s order and waited.
Sadly, they only noticed the flashing dots on the radar for five seconds and then they disappeared.
When they reported about the failure to the command center, Logan Bold was standing beside an operator. He directly punched the monitor of the unlucky operator nearby in anger and broke it.
The hearts of jets’ pilots flustered as they heard the curses and the scoldings of their general Logan Bold.
Fortunately, their general soon calmed down quickly and told them to come back to the base first.
After all, it’s very risky for the aircraft to fly in the atmosphere during these days.
It’s all the experiences they earned through tears after they lost over ten thousand aircraft for unknown reasons since from the first day of earth expansion. Over two third of them were commercial aircraft which were flying at that day and trying to fly in the later days. Not to mention the property loss, the death toll was also not small at all. Over a million people died. Not even a single body was found.
