Chapter 116
"Was this the thing you weren’t planning on telling me?" Zephyr asked.
Ikem nodded, "Fathers friend Red informed me that such situations would happen following the treasures but he said the chances of that happening was slow so to not raise a false alarm I decided to keep quiet until now"
"So this Osita situation was what you were looking forward to," Zephyr asked.
"Indeed but now that I know, it’s even more dreadful. The fact that the enemies can take over someone is quite disturbing especially if they stay low and not show any difference"
"That means that any apelings now in our kingdom is under the suspicion of being taken over and the only one that can notice that difference is those close to them like the Osita case, if not them a stranger could possibly be roaming freely among our people" Ikem said disturbed.
"Oh my god, I never thought about it that way " Zephyr spoke out loud in surprise.
He recently just got the news from Omadi, so his mind is still occupied with the thought about humans and their problems so he hasn’t thought about how his own people could be affected too.
It is already a known fact among the leaders of the apelings that most apelings kept a treasure they favored to themselves so that means the chance of an apeling being taken over is high and the worst part is that they have no idea about.
"What are we to do father, I kinda now understand why you didn’t get pan on sharing the news. It is really unsettling knowing that it is an unknown enemy you know nothing about?" Zephyr said as he started pacing around.
"We do nothing son, things will stay the way it was. Time has passed since the incident of treasures yet no abnormality among our people meaning that any possessed apelings knows that it currently cannot do anything to us right now"
"So we do as we did before and continue growing in strength but we have to be more cautious and stay on the lookout for the slightest abnormality and inform your siblings on this new situation, they should also keep an eye out for their own people too" Ikem answered Zephyr.
