All Chapters of The Entangled Fate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CHAPTER 56Jacquard stepped into the normal building as usual. He greeted everyone he crossed paths with as he was heading straight to his office. As he was going, he felt as if the whole world is watching him. Every single person he passed by both the seniors and the Junior officer was all looking back at him. Some greeted him with a smile while some, most especially the female returned his greeting as if they were forced to do so.He did not let their reactions to having any effect on him. He managed to get to his office and locked it. Before he entered his office he turned to check if the door opposite his office is open. The office was locked and no traces of anyone on the floor. It seems he was the only one on the floor. He asked himself where were the other staffs. Or where did they go? He tried to check the date and confirmed that the day wasn't a holiday. He ignored the feelings and entered his office. Upon getting to th

The following morning he left home as usual, he did not even inform her mother about what happened in the office and about his resignation. He was able to escape that just because his mother together with his uncle, Siyabong, both traveled to attend to some things in a nearby village. They were unable to return home that day. It was only Jack and Jacquard that were in the house. Both of them just ate whatever they met in the Kitchen and went straight to bed.Jacquard feelings were ambivalent. He felt happy and relieved because he believed he is free and out of bondage. He is no more surrounded by the set of people who always and will always pray for his downfall. He also felt bad about how he left the job. It was not in a good term. But above all, he was happy to be free. He thought about what is going to be his next move. He can't just sit down doing nothing. Even the law of the land won't allow him to stay indoors for too long except if he was sick or suffered from a terrible illn

But that man from unit 9? Jay oh, one of the kids that Jacquard teaches, was right. The guy was just plain stupid. And besides, General Lane probably did not understand what these books represented. This was the inherited knowledge of mankind! If this was not stopped here, where would it stop? Only a librarian and Knowledgeable people, the scholars, could understand just how important it was. Suddenly in the distance, Jacquard heard a sound. The soft whoosh of an automatic door opening. For a moment a shaft of pale light cut through the gloom. As quickly as it appeared, it was gone. Jacquard frowned. If the thief had entered the room, the light should be coming on. But they were not. Maybe it was not the thief after all. Maybe someone had walked by and the door had opened automatically. Or maybe the thief had started to enter, but somehow sensed Jacquard's presence. There was no way to know. Whoever it was, was gone. He paused for a while, " I was told there were

After he was done chasing a thief and felt his efforts are fruitless, he decided to try again tomorrow. He turned to take his leave. As he was moving backward, he suddenly stopped. Looking confusedly, he did not know where he was and how to return back to the surface. He was there looking around, trying his best to recollect the path he took while he was running after the theif. He was just running after the thief without taking note of those path he took. Now he is lost. He was not even sure if he was still within the walls of Abasia Kingdom but he was so sure that it is impossible for an underground like this to connect with any kingdom or vilages. He said to himself, if such could happened, then the security of the kingdom will easily get comprised. Abasia Kingdom dugged those underground to prevent and protect her people from the effect and radiation from those giant machines and also to protect his heritage and keep his power source out of people. People can have access to the

While the students perched themselves on a fallen log and began pulling out their lunches, Jacquard pulled out his comm again. It was still not working correctly. Then, for a moment, the antenna link strengthened, and he could see the route they should have taken on the tiny map. They were about two kilometers off the trail. There had been a fork, and he had taken the wrong path. He remembered it clearly and saw his mistake now. Fortunately, it would be easy to go back. He quickly checked the tracer to see if he could tell where Shena was. He was glad to see that the tiny red circle representing her location shiwed up brightly on the map. But then- to his dismay- he realized that she was not anywhere close to the shelter by the road. Instead, she was on completely the wrong trail. He zoomed in on her location. The trail she was on, he noticed m, actually out her close to the cave than Jacquard and the rest of the class were. He frowned. Why had not she gone back to the shelter? Was s
