Chapter 17 - Welcome Gifts (1)



Two days later...

Around 5:00 p.m. at Jeremy\'s garage beside his house.

Currently, the usually spacious garage was almost packed with almost 20 people of various ages.

Those people were Jeremy, his three friends, and the rest were those three friends\' family members and friends.

From Charlotte\'s side, there were her two besties, father, mother, aunt, grandfather, and grandmother.

From Owen\'s side, there were two younger brothers, mother, aunt, uncle, grandfather, and grandmother.

However, regarding Samuel, there was absolutely no one standing beside him because he didn\'t choose anyone in the first place.

Not even his girlfriend, he didn\'t tell her to come for some unknown reasons.

Jeremy was currently standing at the garage\'s center between the wooden dummies at the garage\'s end and those 17 people at the garage entrance.

Meanwhile, everyone was talking and whispering to one another incessantly.

If an onlooker was present, they should feel like they were in a classroom packed with students to the brim instead of the garage.

As for the topics of their discussions, they talked about tutorials, Ortus, aftermaths of transmigrations, today\'s events, the gifts from Jeremy, and lastly, the reliability of Jeremy\'s story about Ortus and everything related to it.

After all, even after Jeremy had shown them various kinds of miracle and mysterious magic skills. Within their deepest minds, they still harbored a tad bit of doubt.

Or rather, it should be called \'Hope\'...

They still had hopes within their subconscious minds.

They hoped that, after September 29, 2019, everything would remain the same.

They hoped that the world\'s end would never come.

They hoped that they could normally live like they always did.

However, how could they doubt Jeremy after seeing and witnessing his magical powers?

Jeremy also had his own credibility that was very hard to refute.

Consequently, they kept talking with one another ceaselessly and erratically, as they saw that 17 other people were sharing the same fate as them of being the ones who \'knew\' about the upcoming \'advents\' before the other seven or so billion people on Earth.

Some felt scared...

Some felt despaired...

Some felt excited...

Some felt unreal...

Many emotions were coming and going inside their mind at the moment. However, there was one emotion that all of them had it the same.

It was the emotion of when they stared at the man in front of them.

That emotion was \'relieve\'...

They felt relieved... relieved that there was someone they could rely on.

They felt relieved... like when they finally found an oasis amidst a scorching hot desert.

And that person who made them felt relieved was... Jeremy.

If they only considered his age, he still looked relatively young with only early-twenties of age.

Nevertheless, he was exuding a mysterious and unfathomable aura.

They knew all too well that those things had nothing to do with him being an introvert or extrovert, wearing dark clothing, or having a somber voice.

They just felt that he was mysterious, and at the same time, he also felt ancient and unfathomable.

But how was that even possible?

He looked just like someone in his 22 or 23 years of age...

As for his features, he had lush, mother lode-gold hair with a tinge of brown color with a rippling quality.

With perfect health being showed clearly as a result of training his body regularly. He looked even more like a model than Samuel in those people\'s eyes.

His outstanding facial characteristics, the aquiline nose he sported complemented his prominent cheekbones. His fine-lined jaw and feline shoulders spoke of strength.

He should possess a latent, redoubted power, and he stood there with purpose and authority.

Altogether with the wayfarer-blue eyes that could resemble two liquid-blue pools of flashing iciness that could attract and drown them into the deepest part of Abyss.

His appearance combined with the unquestionable aura causing him to look beyond and outside a mortal\'s reach.

They instinctively knew that he was different from others...

They also felt safe whenever they were under his care...

Still, they didn\'t really know where his mysteriousness was induced from.

Was it about him hiding earth-shattering secrets?

Maybe or maybe not...

Those unknown secrets should be big and dark enough that, upon being discovered, they could destroy the person who knew about them one way or another.

But how did he know about those secrets?

They didn\'t dare to question him...

His auras alone didn\'t allow them to look at him for a prolonged time.

At this moment, after realizing that Jeremy\'s ice-cold blue eyes were staring at them, they had unknowingly stopped talking, then turned their heads to him like they were in a trance.

...

*Sigh*

\'That\'s why the road to become a sage is full of hospitalities and hostilities.\' Jeremy sighed and thought to himself.

That\'s normal; after all, respect and hate always came together.

But for a person who trod a path of true magic, that person must be prepared to receive much more respect and hate than ordinary people.

After seeing that everyone\'s attention finally shifted to him, Jeremy started speaking while looking straight at them one by one.

"Let\'s make it quick. I have already told every one of you about how the incoming events are going to unfold. Also, you might have realized already that, even if you know about those things before anyone else, it doesn\'t mean that you will \'survive\' those ordeals."

What Jeremy meant was that they might still die even if they knew what was coming at them... because they were powerless to protect themselves.

As when Jeremy had talked till the word \'survive\', he narrowed his eyes coldly at the two brothers of Owen\'s, two besties of Charlotte\'s, and at the 4 \'very old people\' of his two friends.

Simultaneously, those people instinctively shivered with the realization of dangers and the predator-liked stare from Jeremy.

The two younger brothers of Owen, namely George and Matthew, were now almost huddling together to lessen their fear.

Concurrently, Amelia and Grace, who were Charlotte\'s besties since young, were shivering and shaking nonstop while trying to grab Charlotte\'s hem-cloth as reassurance.

As for those \'old people\', they just sighed with a saddened face and stood there with dejected expressions.

Meanwhile, everyone else was clutching their own hands tightly at their own incompetency to do anything to save their own lives and their loved ones when the supposed inevitable future came.

But they knew that there was one person they could rely and depend on to survive the upcoming advents.

So, they were waiting for Jeremy, their possible \'savior\', to declare about his real purpose of inviting them here.

They were hoping that Jeremy, the current most mysterious man on Earth who could wield enigmatic magics, could be able to give them a way to survive.

Seeing that everyone didn\'t get outraged or get annoyed at his mild sarcasm, he felt a bit satisfied.

He knew that as a result of \'Do you believe in magic?\', everyone here was as obedient as they could be. They didn\'t want to mop the ground with their faces or got muted ever again.

Jeremy had \'taken care\' of them really well...
