"My father's enemies are powerful and strong but they shouldn't be so powerful as to be able to force my father to stay in the earth's core for so long even if my father is having issues with his moral values." Blade started thinking critically."It's as if he is on mobile arrest and yet they can't do anything to him for now""This means they are wary of him and probably want to use him for their own stupid purposes""This means our enemies are here, and they are all around us." Blade paused as he became more confident in his deductions and analysis."Our enemy must be confident of their intelligence network and ability to locate my dad. It is obvious that our enemy is the Seven Apex Alliance." Blade started stating the obvious over and over.Unfeeling haze just looked tired. What's wrong with him this time? He's basically summarising everything that we've discussed, what's the point? Blade himself was shocked at the despicable attitude of the Seven Apex Alliance. They didn't want to

Right then, a shadow flashed and the leaves rustled on the floor as someone who looked like an assassin clothed in all black from head to toe appeared. The figure's voice was neutral, making it hard to determine if it was male or female. But from the name 'Jane', it was very obvious that she was a lady. "My lord, I am here at your command," Jane said.Tules, the lord, turned to Jane and said, "This is a new trainee that is very important to our future plans. I need you to train him twice as hard as the others, let him feel pain, draw him close to death, and let his life flash before his eyes multiple times." Tules' words sounded like those of a grim reaper, and Blade imagined terrible scenes of torture, which made him feel like crying."As you wish, sir," the assassin female called Jane responded."Good," Tules nodded and turned his back on Blade as he quickly increased his steps towards the edge of the courtyard.Then, as if he remember

"With pleasure!, With all pleasure!!" Rodrick bowed as he swiftly and elegantly collected all black mags heading his way."Now as I was saying, I got to know from a reliable source that Blade, that infamous youngster that survived..." Rodrick was about to give a long lengthy speech when he was interrupted by the people around him."Straight to the point! We know who he is!" Actually, after a golden collection appeared in the inner base, a lot of people had looked for information about the lucky collector.By now, information had spread very fast and everyone knew that it was Blade the low tier but handsome superhuman who got lucky."Okay, Calm down, since we all know who he is, I would go straight to the point." Rodrick paused and took a deep breath like he was about to make a very important confession.Everyone's senses became heightened in anticipation. Blood had rushed to some people's ears and turned them red. Every tiny sound was bei

Snap!The sound was especially loud in the quiet hall and like the cracks on a broken mirror, the strange charm that left everyone in a daze began to crack and shatter. This woke up everyone from their dazed state and they instantly all realised what had happened. It seems this guy had been using some weird magnetic talents on their minds! How dare he?!The mere thought of influencing people's minds even though it was subtle, still irked them."Beat him up!" Someone shouted and soon the crowd had all rushed to deal at least two punches to their satisfaction. "No! no! Wait! Wait! This is all a misunderstanding!" Rodrick pleaded."Misunderstanding my ass!" A chubby woman with puffy cheeks boosted herself forward. Her speed making people evaluate her further. These days, you really couldn't judge people by their physical appearance especially weight.The lady arrived close to Rodrick and got ready for a smash of her fist.“Where's the money?! Aim for the money!“ Someone shouted.“Ah! Y

His luck and prompt action had enabled him to dodge the latest attack but that didn't seem to be all. This prompted him to get up and start running once more but he was much slower due to his lacking endurance. He was full of energy but too tired to use it. Blade realized at some point that the casual snacks he had in the garden a day before had enough energy in it for him to still survive for two more days. Any more and he would collapse. This means he has to find the exit in two days time or minimalize his consumption of energy to the least while searching for optimal solutions to his current predicament. He just couldn't keep running right?While on the run, he scanned the walls of the tunnel for a way to disable the mechanisms responsible for shooting the hidden weapons. His findings left him discouraged. There was no clue from the outside of the wall. After 3 hours of running, he figured out a subtle pattern of the traps and stopped stepping on them. THis gave him breathing spa
