Chapter 144: Confrontation

It was really late in the night and they still have not made it to the mountain yet showing how far the mountain was to them.

"I need a rest for once or I don't think that I will be able to make it to the capital" said Hannah as she stopped in her tracks.

"Come Hannah, this isn't the time to be playing around" replied Clara as she walked up to her.

"But I am a really tired mother, we have been on the run since morning with no time to rest and eat something and it is already late in the night" said Hannah in tears.

"But there is no place for us to rest here" replied Clara before taking a look around the place to see if there is any place for them to rest before continuing with her word.

"The only place that we can take shelter on is the mountain, so come let's hurry, I promise you will get all the rest you want once we get there".

"You promise" asked Hannah as she wiped the tears off her face. 

"Though you can't rest for long since we don't know about the movement of our pursuer so you can take a rest for sometime before we continue with the journey" replied Clara with a smile.

Since their mother had already agreed to let her rest once they got to the mountain, Hannah was happy as she continued walking again. And seeing her this way, Jason couldn't help but let out a chuckle before following her from behind.

Meanwhile, Alex was still following the trail that he saw earlier during his search, and this time it was quite clear that whoever the print belonged to must be heading to the mountain.

"If I were to increase my pace, I might be able to catch up to whoever it belongs to" mutter Alex to himself before taking his eyes off the trail as he pushed off while running towards the direction of the mountain.

After traveling for a long time, they were finally able to arrive at the foot of the mountain and that is when Hannah finally gave up as she put her things down before resting her body on the mountain and closing her eyes.

"Come on, this is not the best place for us to rest up" said Clara as she looked up the mountain.

"So where are we heading to mother" asked Jason.

"We are going up the mountain Jason and do you mind carrying your sister" replied Clara.

Doing as he was instructed, Jason carried Hannah on his back before they begin to climb the mountain, and after sometimes, Clara was finally able to locate a better place for them to rest for the night and that is when Jason finally put her down before going to a corner to rest also. Seeing that her children have gone to sleep, Clara lets out a sigh as she makes her way to the edge of the mountain where she keeps watch.

In about two hours that they were resting, Clara suddenly pick up foreign energy not too far from where they are. Not hesitating to know who it was that is in the mountain at this time of the day, Clara quickly went ahead to wake them up knowing fully well that the only people that could be in the mountain at this time would surely be their pursuer.

"I think they have caught up to us, we need to hurry out of this place as soon as possible" said Clara as woke Jason up before carrying Hannah on her back before running forward with Jason following behind her.

"Is it a crime for someone to have a sleep" complains Jason.

Sensing that the foreign energy is getting closer to them, Clara stops in her track since it is no use running when their enemy is already behind them. Seeing that his mother has stopped running, Jason was just about to ask her why she suddenly stops but before he could, his mother pushed Hannah to him before instructing him to look for a place to hide.

Meanwhile, Alex who was chasing them after picking the energy of someone in the mountain suddenly has a smile on his face after noticing that the energy has stopped moving as he moved faster and before long he was already standing opposite a lady.

"I wonder what a lady would be doing at a place like this, could it be that you are trying to get away from someone" asked Alex with a cunning smile on his face.

Instead of replying to his question, Clara was just observing him and there was something that reminded her of the Wallace family which robe he was dawn on and the mask covering his face.

"You are from the Wallace family ain't you" said Clara with a serious look on her face.

"Look like the Wallace family is quite famous for you to recognize a member when you see one" replies Alex with a chuckle.

"How can one not know about the family who only knows how to kill for a living" said Clara.

"With the way you are speaking is making it certain that you are the one I am looking for but I thought you are three in number so where are the rest hiding" asked Alex with a smile on his face as he begin to scan the place.

"What business do you have with my children besides you have to think about your own safety before thinking about the others" replied Clara as she pulled out a sword.

"Look like someone is already prepared to die" said Alex with a chuckle as he placed his hand on his back.

"Who is going to die here hasn't been decided yet so don't just jump to conclusion yet" reply Clara before pushing forward to deliver a powerful attack to her opponent. 

Seeing the lady charging towards him, Alex took a step back before swinging his hand upward at the sword that is coming at him as he blocked the sword from coming any further. After successfully stopping the sword, Alex swings his hand once more as a short sword flew into the sky before falling on his hand as he also begins to fight back with a smile on his face.

"You know at first I was angry to be sent to the Fox family territory to get a job done but now that I have finally caught up to you, I just want to drink your blood to quench my anger" said Alex with an evil laugh as h continue to fight.

Trying her best not to waste time to talk to the mad man in front of her, Clara swing out another sword from her free hand as she deliver a slash are his stomach as he was not expecting it and Alex was left to take a step back as he looks at the blood soaking his robe.

"What a cunning woman you turn out to be but good thing that I also brought an extra sword along so let have a lot of fun" said Alex with a smile on his face as he ignored the pain he was going through.

Taking out another short sword, Alex quickly charges forward as he slashes the sword at any opening he could find leaving Clara to defend herself from getting any serious injuries. But the more they fought the more it became difficult to know who will come out victorious since they are evenly matched as they both have injuries in some part of their body.

Meanwhile, Jason was busy watching the fight going between the two with a worried look on his face together with Hannah who was woke up by the sound of metal clashing against each other.

"With the way things are going, it won't be long before your mother loses the fight" comment the bracelet.

"There must be something I can do to help her defeat him" said Jason as he clenches his fist together in anger.

"There is nothing you can do to help the situation, instead you would only get in her way" replied the bracelet.

"Don't you have any plan on how we can distract him even if it is for a second since it is enough for my mother to deal a fatal blow to him" asked Jason.

"The only way that you can help your mother in this situation is only when he is distracted but I don't think it would be that easy for someone of your caliber" replied the bracelet.

"All I just need to do is distract him, then that is what I am going to do" said Jason.

"Take it easy there Jason, any wrong move you make could cause your death" advises the bracelet.

"Don't worry about me, I am not just going to rush up to him like a fool" replied Jason as he focus his gaze on the fight.
