********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Now then, How do you want to become food for a school of fish?" Once the Lady Boss was out of sight, he stood straight and came over to the hoodlum boss with a menacing grin then he asked him as a joke but the hoodlum boss almost peed in his pants."Please let me live! Don't throw me to the river!" The hoodlum boss grabbed Old Ren's legs and started to beg while looking very pitiful with tears and snots on his face.Old Ren, who was experienced in dealing with all kinds of thugs, didn't even look at him and directly flung him away from his leg by kicking his body which slid a few steps back."Know your place, you trash. Who are you to even let me consider listening to you!" Old Ren looked at the hoodlum boss with utmost disgust, as he knows this pitiful-looking hoodlum boss has done almost all kinds of crime which isn't tolerated by any normal human being and more so by their Boss.So he has no qualms putting this guy into the river
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..She dragged the man like cabbage to the main street and took a cab then went to the company.Just like her, other security guards who were following their targets also did the same and brought the culprits to the company.……After the Group had become a top listed company in the country whose turnover is millions per month. Aashi shifted the group and bought land in the centre of Osaka, and made a large skyscraper which has 100s of office floors in it.The heart of Osaka is the Kita Area, which is also known as Umeda. This is the city's main business and transport centre, and it's packed with hotels, restaurants and shops.So the land was very costly and almost all their profits had been spent on buying the place and building the skyscraper. But in Aashi's eyes, it was worth the effort as the magnificent skyscraper with a large sign of Star Dust Group showed others the prestige of the Group.As the group is in the most popular area of
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..In The Blossom World,"Well, It's admirable that you want to protect your team members, as nowadays, very few people tend to do that. Everyone is selfish and wishes to save their life over others so I respect people who despite the danger still try to be brave. You can now rest and I will take care of this mess for you!" Erick made his decision about the group of ten people so without delay he appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Leader Shun with his back towards him."Thud!"Leader Shun, seeing him appearing out of nowhere was surprised and hearing the words of the stranger felt a little confused but decided to trust him as he had no other option at the moment. When he relaxed his body slightly his legs gave up and he fell to the ground.In the corner of his eyes, he saw that the stranger was moving towards the Malice Organisms in an imposing manner.Erick heard the thud sound so he figured that Leader Shun might have fallen
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Wait a moment, I remember that I saw something on the way here which might be helpful in this situation!" Making an excuse, Erick came a few hundred meters away from them where they couldn't see anything. Erick took out an odd-looking small-size truck, after filling the fuel in the tank he started it and drove over to the group."Ohhh! Wow, where did you find this?""And how this truck was not eaten by the malice organisms?"Others expressed their surprised opinion, it's very rare to find anything intact from the malice organisms who would, at first sight, gnaw their smelly jaw on anything edible.It's not just an exaggeration to say even high buildings get eaten by the malice organisms so the small truck is nothing but a cheap snack for them.Erick, not wanting to make any nonsense for them to pick any mistake from his words, urges them to get in the truck so they can move on hurriedly.Everyone squeezed together on the small size t
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..When Naraku Makani was first brought by the government, he was working with other top scientists on those cells and trying to find how the cells were still alive.Many top scientists discovered very surprising results that the cells were part of a bigger cell. After researching the stones, they came to realize that this is just one of the pieces from the larger meteorite. That's how they came to know that other continents where pieces have fallen were also being researched by their respective empires.The governments for the first time put away their small squabble aside and formed tri-joint cooperation to do the project.It was also that time, Naraku Makani left for his family. After being forcefully brought back into the project, he got to know that other scientists had discovered similarities between the cell present in the meteorite and their world organisms.Naraku Makani studied the similarities very carefully and looked into t
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..Just as he was about to put the diary away, a letter fell from the diary. Erick picked it up and opened it to see what it was, but found that it was a request letter of sorts."Dear Sir/ Madam,When you find this diary with the serum sample I would most likely be dead so keep them safe or use it for your interest, my only request is that please meet my granddaughter and daughter. If possible please, send them to live in a safe environment. I just hope that this little request is fulfilled as for me I regret that I wasn't able to become a good father or grandfather for them.Sincerely Thank you!" Erick looked at the letter and read it out, then pondered for a few minutes, not knowing what he should do about this matter."Ahhh! Whatever, I will think about it later when I'm able to find your daughter and granddaughter!" Erick thought he would decide after meeting with them what to do, to leave them alone or to take them with him.Erick
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..…..The empire is called Nihon and Trish city is just a strategic first line of defence so only volunteers dare to live in this dangerous city.Leader Shun also asked where Erick came from and what he was doing in that forsaken central continent. "Well, I was just passing by and got lost in the middle!" Erick made an excuse with a straight face to which Leader Shun gave him a look that said, seriously who would believe in that nonsense?Leader Shun tacitly decided not to ask about Erick's purpose as he was their saviour so this much respect he deserves from them."So would you like to accompany us to our city, as we need to buy resources for them with what we have got in this hunt!" Leader Shun asked Erick if he wanted to accompany them and explained to him why they needed to hurry over.Erick didn't have anything to do at the moment so he agreed to tag along with them as he also needed this world's currency for accommodation so he ought
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Okay, then I will start first. My full name is Livia Cortel. I joined the leader Shun team about a year ago. I have a little brother, a cute little sister and a mother. My Father passed away when he was trying to save us from the fall of a building when the chaos started…..!!" Cortel took the lead and started first, she introduced her full name and then started telling Erick her backstory which led her to the Leader Shun hunting team.Erick didn't interrupt her to ask in the middle but he did feel her discomfort when she talked about her father's death. Cortel recounted her sad and struggle-filled early days, how she joined the leader Shun team and with their help how her life got on track.Erick sympathises with her past, but he didn't show any pity expression as he knows showing that would be an insult to her and just patting her on the back as a gesture that she did great to survive thus far.Erick has a special place in his hear
............Aashi gently pried Yuyun from her embrace, whispering soothing words to the frightened child. "Alright Yuyun, let's go. We need to save those big sisters and brothers over there, okay?" She placed Yuyun on her back and quickly moved towards the cries.Erick and Aashi turned and sprinted towards the explosions. Aashi headed to where the injured were, while Erick ran towards the Malice Creatures attacking the elven guards.As Erick reached the first defense wall, he saw the extent of the destruction. The once strong barrier was now a smoldering ruin, and dark, twisted Malice Creatures were pouring through the breach."Boom... Boom... Ahhhh...!" The elves were fighting valiantly, but they were clearly outmatched. Their traditional weapons and combat techniques were ineffective against the Malice Creatures, which seemed impervious to normal attacks.Erick moved forward, energy leaking from his hands, blades of wind and fire shimmering with a strange, ethereal light. "Let's
............"Splash...!!""Whoa... how much energy did you put into that attack, Master?" Aashi asked in wonder, looking at the explosion and the water splashing over their shield."Not much, but enough to crush that annoying portal to bits," Erick replied, glancing down to ensure no traces of dark, foul energy remained. While the area was cleared, some fish-shaped Malice Creatures had been flung into the distance and were being erased slowly."Master, can you leave the rest to me?" Aashi asked, sensing her master's thoughts."Oh, okay. I'll take care of little Yuyun for you," Erick smiled and nodded before crouching down to pat the little girl on the head."He he... Big Brother!" Little Yuyun giggled, enjoying the affection."Okay then, watch how Big Sis handles those bad monsters!" Aashi said with a smile. She stepped onto the water's surface, running across it just like Erick, without causing any ripples."Boom... Bam...!!"Loud noises echoed as Aashi handled the Malice Creatures
............Aashi paused, listening intently. The sound came again, a weak cry. They immediately searched for the source and found what appeared to be the remains of a house, left in ruins after being devoured by the Malice Creatures. Beneath a pile of rubble, they lifted the debris and found a young girl, her body battered and bruised, but barely alive. Her eyes were shut, and her body quivered nonstop from all the pain.Erick immediately used his Origin arts to heal her and fed her a life-saving potion he carried in his storage. Before long, the little girl was cured, and her body returned to a healthy state, making Erick and Aashi sigh in relief.“It’s okay, you’re safe now,” Aashi said softly, lifting the girl gently.The girl coughed, opened her eyes, and whispered, “Thank you…”Erick knelt beside them, his expression softening. “You’re a brave one, aren’t you? Can you tell us if there are any others?” he asked, seeing the girl calming down.The girl shook her head weakly. “E
............“Oh, let me introduce my Master to you. He is the person who eliminated all the malice creatures in this area and the one who made me follow you guys.” Aashi smiled as she proudly introduced Erick to the kids and the Elder.The Elder and the children looked at Erick with awe and curiosity, their gratitude toward Aashi extending naturally to him.“Thank you, Master,” the Elder said, bowing deeply. “Your actions have saved our tribe's future.”Erick nodded, a small smile on his face. “I’m glad we could help. Your strength and resilience are admirable. Even though you lost so many of your tribesmen, you still didn't lose your will and continue to protect the children. It's commendable courage.”Aashi glanced at the children, noticing their worn clothes and tired expressions. “Do you have enough supplies and food? It looks like you’ve been struggling.”The Elder sighed. “We’ve been running low on food and we don’t even have a warm place to stay now. The malice creatures have
…………"This is not good; they are suffering from the bitter ice-cold!" The adult man observed them and realised they were suffering from an illness common among the tribe's people living in these cold plains.“I don’t have any medicine to cure them, damn it,” the man muttered, frustration evident in his voice as he watched their condition worsen.In normal times, he could easily help them with their cold, but now he couldn’t leave to search for medicine. Going out would be like signing his own death warrant if those creatures caught their scent.“What should I do? At this rate, these children won't be able to endure the cold and will succumb to it. No... no... I can't let that happen. These few children are all that's left of our ice tribe!” The elder felt a deep bitterness inside, trapped in a situation where every option seemed doomed.“Boom... Boom...!!”He heard loud noises and movement in the distance, and the tremors suggested that the Malice Creatures had picked up his trail.“
*******…………"Isn't this the east side, right?" Erick asked, feeling a little confused by the scene he was seeing.Erick and Aashi arrived after flying for hours, but they didn't see any forest there."Yes, it should be the east," Aashi nodded, having already calculated the direction when they flew here."So where is the forest that is supposed to be here, and what about the tribe residing here!" Erick muttered, looking at the distance with no forest or vegetation around, only the black, charcoal-like grounds were left."Master, I am sensing a foul stench from there!" Aashi's nose suddenly perked up, and she pointed in a certain direction, detecting an unusual foul scent."Hmm, this isn't supposed to be here!" Erick and Aashi flew in that direction and arrived there.It was a place that looked like a wrecked village or something, with a well made out of sand and mud mixed with blackish substances.Erick felt familiarity with the substances filling the well. After sending his energy d
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Thank you, Elder Ilona, for enlightening us. We are sincerely grateful for your invaluable assistance," Erick and Aashi expressed their gratitude with utmost respect, acknowledging the wisdom and guidance of the revered priestess.Elder Ilona, with a gentle shake of her head, dismissed any notion of inconvenience. A warm smile adorned her face as she conveyed her genuine pleasure in their company. "No, no trouble at all. In fact, I relish your presence. Do pay me another visit in the future," she suggested, her eyes gleaming with joy at the prospect of their return.Erick and Aashi nodded appreciatively, bidding Elder Ilona a proper farewell as they took their leave. Their gestures conveyed their gratitude and respect for the priestess, who had graciously shared her knowledge with them.As they emerged from Elder Ilona's abode, Elder Ryfang awaited their return, a patient figure in the fading light. His curiosity piqued, he inquired
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."Welcome, young ones," she spoke in a voice that was both soft and melodic. "I have been expecting you."Erick and Aashi exchanged greetings before settling onto the cushions that had been laid out for them. The woman before them exuded a sense of accomplishment, as though she had achieved great things in her life and had the love and respect of nature itself."Thank you, Elder, for having us," Erick said, his voice full of gratitude and admiration.The Elder smiled warmly at the two guests before her. "So, what would you like to hear first? I will do my best to answer all of your queries, but first, let me introduce myself."Ilona, the guardian of the small wolf tribe and priestess who oversaw the ceremonies held in the clearing, introduced herself with grace and poise. Her name carried weight and respect, and Erick and Aashi felt a pleasant warmth to be in her presence."I am Erick Dahl, and this is my companion, Aashi," Erick intro
********…..….." " Speech,' ' Thoughts,…..….."It's….it's alright!" Chieftain hurriedly replied while hiding his fear and reverence coming from his heart."Ahem, let me introduce you, Chief Ulric, this young man is Master Erick Dahl and she is his companion, Madame Aashi. And you both already know our chief Ulric name and she is the mate of Chief Ulric, Madame Ayla." Elder Ryfang tried hard to ignore the earlier what he felt and maintained his usual smile while he introduced each other, Erick and Aashi to His chief and Madame Ayla.Erick and Aashi observed the now standing Chief Ulric and Madame Ayla in front of them.Chief Ulric is a tall, muscular man with a commanding presence. He has broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline, and his piercing blue eyes seem to see straight through to a person's soul. His hair is a deep shade of brown and falls in unruly waves to his shoulders, and his beard is thick and well-groomed. Ulric also has wolf-like features, including pointed ears and
