"Damn it! I didn't expect this at all. I thought that bastard hired an ordinary person, or at most he hired a professional soldier. I didn't think he would use the services of an expert to guard his mansion. That old man really made us both almost die this time, not only he couldn't dig up any information on Austin, he didn't even know about this. I have to report all this to the chairman..." Alex seethed angrily. As someone who was recognized as a member of the Nine Heavens, he could not accept being defeated so easily by the opposing party.Everyone in the Justice Founder organization knew how strong the people in the Nine Heavens group were. Even if the Heavenly Harmony was not the strongest among the other eight members, they were still very strong and it would be very embarrassing if news of their defeat spread to everyone in the organization.Zia was also upset, but she was calmer than her husband. It was true that Michael hadn't told them any information about the other side,
There was rarely a moment when the members of the Night Squad used their full strength. Usually one member of the Night Squad is more than enough to handle several problems at once.They may not be influential people in the eyes of society, but all of their clients are the most influential people in their field. The Night Squad can easily utilize their clients for their own benefit.About fighting power? There's no doubt the Night Squad is at its peak. That's also the reason why they often divide tasks rather than having to intervene at the same time. One member alone is enough to take out a few annoying pests.But it seemed like this time was the time for Vin to use his full power in order to defeat those two annoying people in front of him. How long had it been since he'd used his full abilities? It had probably been more than five years, Vin couldn't remember for sure, but it had been a while.Vin's entire body was flowing with a very thick Mana, all the objects around him were flo
Vin could only leave his opponent severely injured, this was the first time he couldn't finish his opponent off. To be honest, this made him wonder, are people as strong as his two opponents roaming the small town, Winston?If so, then it was dangerous."I must report this to the chairman..." Winston was where all the people that the Night Squad had to guard lived, that meant that all the people the new boss cared about were in Winston.Even if the Night Squad were guarding those people, there was no guarantee they would all be safe under their protection. After all, the Night Squad were still humans who needed rest, they couldn't constantly guard those people.Moreover, the two people Vin had fought earlier were equal in strength to the Night Squad, which meant there were other forces in Winston that were as strong as them or even stronger than the Night Squad. It didn't rule out the possibility of there being people whose strength was equal to Finley and Luna.What would happen if p
Austin and Noah's sparring match on the hill ended evenly. Overall, Austin was superior to Noah. Excluding Austin's endless stamina, Noah could definitely win the sparring match against Austin.But unfortunately he couldn't, even so having the experience of fighting with someone whose strength is beyond human reason is invaluable.Both of them had changed into casual clothes. Austin was a little surprised to see that Noah's residence was on top of Winston Hill. He thought Noah lived in the city at least, but living in a hill bag, he never expected it at all."How long have you been living here?" Austin asked.Noah replied, "Since I became a warrior. I live here with my master." Noah found no reason why he should hide the fact that he already had a master, he casually answered Austin's question according to the facts.Austin's eyebrows raised slightly at Noah's words, "You have a master?" At first he was curious as to why Noah had become a warrior. Even geniuses need direction from the
Everything related to Mana or magic is never simple, and as everyone knows when reading fantasy genre novels with magic in them, nothing is impossible. A fish can turn into a dragon or an ordinary human can turn into a god.Since Vin has been one of the characters who understands magic like in most fantasy novels, he has never limited his thinking to some things that most people would find absurd.One of them is the human lifespan. Most people will live for at least 60 to 70 years, some even live for more than 80 years, but that only applies to ordinary humans. Then what is the age range of humans who can use magic?100 years? Or even more than that? Well, it's possible. Vin didn't know if he had ever met a magician who could live for hundreds of years.Finley and Luna were also two of the most powerful people in the Night Squad not even 30 years old.There were all kinds of lies in this world that humans couldn't detect, because humans basically only believed what they wanted to beli
"Tighten the security of the mansion, there should also be at least three people to guard the social center. We don't know when they'll come again, we better be prepared..." Austin tried to calm his anger. He knew that just being angry didn't make things better, he had to handle all these problems with a cool head, so that the same mistakes wouldn't be repeated.The young man glanced at Finley and said, "Call me immediately when you find out who broke into the mansion last night. As for you, Vin, tonight you'll be on guard again at the mansion with Finley."Finley and Vin nodded their heads together, obeying the orders given by Austin unceremoniously. They also didn't think that the opponent they were facing now was an easy target, being able to overwhelm Vin while fighting him was clear evidence that the other side was also very strong. Probably much stronger than they all thought."Okay, boss!"Austin also contacted Christina and asked her to tighten the security of every social wor
What is regret?Who are the people who usually regret things? They are people who are stubborn and don't listen to what others have to say.Even though Alex had told all his colleagues not to bother others until they received news from their superiors, some of his colleagues did not want to listen to him and continued to do what they thought was right.It was as if the defeat suffered by the Heavenly Harmony and Zia's fall in the hospital and having to undergo treatment for the next few months were not convincing enough for them.Well, they were nicknamed the Nine Heavens for a reason, not only were they strong, but they were also brave. Brave enough to rashly challenge their own lives by approaching the grim reaper directly. But unfortunately there were only a few of them who were wise, and of course the three people who were now staking out Austin's house were not wise people who rarely used their heads.The three of them would rather deal out blows to the other party than make peac
All the members of the Founders of Justice knew of the existence of warriors, even though they were just ordinary humans like Michael. They also believed that there were warriors out there, they knew how rare warriors were and how superior they were.The tangible proof for those people was none other than the Nine Heavens, the highest organization among the other organizations in the Founder of Justice.They were a group of monsters who worked to fulfill the wishes of monsters stronger than them, or commonly known as the Chairman.Chairman of the Justice Founder organization, the highest position that occupies the throne in the Justice Founder organization. His decisions are absolute and no one has the right to oppose him, even if that person orders his subordinates to commit mass suicide.The figure most feared by everyone in the Justice Founder organization, or perhaps also feared by others from the opposite side.Although the Chairman was the most respected and feared figure by eve
There were only two young men in the small bookstore. Felix ignored Austin's presence, but on the other hand Austin kept watching Felix.Somehow he felt a strange fluctuation as soon as he saw the man named Felix. He couldn't explain it well, but he knew it was a kind of scientific attraction as Heaven and Earth complemented each other even though they would never merge.Of course Austin could tell clearly that what he was feeling now wasn't any kind of romantic attraction, he wasn't that stupid to interpret it."This seems to be getting more complicated..." Austin muttered. He could have used his abilities and made the girl named Lily come out on her own, but the presence of other people in the room made him think twice.Austin sighed heavily, he looked back at the man named Felix for a moment and then sat down on one of the empty chairs positioned right next to the shop door.He picked up one of the random books and read it. He would think of another way he could meet Lily today or
There was nothing Austin was more worried about than those closest to him. Those who dared to interfere with his people more than deserved the most gruesome death they could receive.Although there were many people who took refuge under Austin's banner, the man showed no strong favoritism at all and gave them a life worthy of their fond memories.Moreover, those who accepted Austin's help were more than willing to follow the young man forever. For them, there was nothing better than following Austin all their lives.But now one of the homeless people whose life Austin saved is likely to be affected by the 'suicide disaster' that is engulfing Winston.Austin might not be too concerned about the safety of other people's lives, but it's a different story when it's his own. He never claimed to be a saint, nor did he ever think of himself as a savior, he just tried to give those people what they deserved when they couldn't get it, happiness.Luna, Finley, Audrey, Vin and Zod gathered in th
Hia eyes snapped open as he felt something like ice water pouring over him. He didn't realize what was happening and looked around him with a questioning gaze.He was in a dark room that gave off an eerie impression, moreover he just realized that he was sitting with both his hands and feet bound in thick chains. But the shock didn't last long as he remembered that he was a Magician. He should be able to break these chains easily.Unfortunately he could not sense the presence of magic here, in short he could not use his magic here which made his resistance futile."Trying to run?" a heavy voice sounded, the small man focused his gaze towards the source of the voice and found a large man with long hair and a thick beard and mustache covering his facial features.The man was more accurately described as a monstrous monster than a human. This was the first time he had seen anyone with an appearance and demeanor as terrifying as the man in front of him."W-who are you? Where am I?"The bi
Vin is naturally an arrogant person, often looking down on those he perceives as his prey.He was not a virtuous or benevolent person like the heroic heroes in some heroic novels.He himself realized that he was cruel and merciless, but all that kind of cruelty was extinguished once he faced Austin. As arrogant as he was and even if his arrogance was as vast as the ocean and as high as the sky, it was nothing in front of Austin Barnett.He could still be a bit arbitrary in front of Luna and Finley, but it was a different matter when he faced Austin Barnett. All he could do was bow his head respectfully, because in his heart, in the hearts of all the members of the Night Squad, Austin was a true ruler with tremendous power in his hands.There were only a few moments where the Night Squad could see Austin's power, and that was less than ten times. Austin rarely used his personal power, but once he got serious, even the Gods themselves couldn't stop him.Vin looked at the small man who w
Finley exhaled slowly, then sheathed his pair of longswords again. His eyes gazed at the natural geography in front of him that had been destroyed by his battle with the woman in the red dress earlier.There was something weighing on his heart, but Finley tried not to think too much about it. This was something he was used to after the Night Squad came under Austin Barnett's banner. There were no premeditated acts of murder or anything like that, just brutal massacres that were extremely destructive.If before the Night Squad was a group of owls working in the dark, once the Night Squad became Austin Barnett's right-hand man, they became a group of eagles that openly dominated every territory. Challenging anyone who dared to disturb them, killing prey without a second thought.The man turned around, leaving the scene of the fight with his staggering steps.Meanwhile, in the woods on the other side of Winston, Vin circled in the middle of a large field. The black shadow had dragged him
A man was running in the darkness as if he was chasing something. His gaze was fixed on a black shadow that was darting so fast, he almost couldn't catch up with it if his boss didn't give him a magical equipment that could increase his speed.The man running with the magical shoes was none other than Vin. He was investigating Winston's suicide, but in the middle of the investigation he found something that made him curious."Damn it, why is it so fast!" Vin cursed, he had run as fast as he could but his distance from the black shadow was still the same, even a little further.The uneven terrain of the forest and the many shady trees around it hampered Vin's movements. Trying to catch up from the sky was definitely not a good option, as the black shadow was too opaque for it to easily blend into the darkness of the night.Letting his guard down, Vin would instantly lose his trail.As the black shadow's movements quickened, Vin widened his eyes in disbelief. Previously he believed that
Just as there is always a shadow behind the light, so is Winston's current condition.One should not describe the evil and good sides easily. They should dive to the bottom and search deeper into what evil really is and what good really is.A mass murderer today would be considered a true ditactor, but a massacre during a war in the past would be considered something that they had to do in order to create a prosperous kingdom or empire.Each action has its own time.Behind the catastrophic 'suicides' that are happening in Winston, there are some groups of people who are taking advantage of the gruesome cases spread throughout the city by creating more chaos in the city.Some wreak havoc openly, while others wreak havoc in the dark. While the residents are busy protecting themselves from factors that could affect their mental health, the criminals in the darkness launch their actions.Inside a suite in a five-star hotel in the city center, a middle-aged man sits on the room's sofa over
No one knows better than him that power is everything. The stronger you are, the more power you can wield. With absolute power in his hands, everything would bow beneath his feet, kowtowing and licking the toes of his shoes masterfully.Austin didn't want great power in his hands at first, instead, he wanted to live a simple life without any burden on his shoulders with his parents and everyone he cared about. But the more he knew that in order to realize such peace, he needed great power in his hands.Now that he is the guardian of Earth, there are some mysterious and ancient facts that have only become known after he took this position. Facts that only he knows and may also be known by other ancient existences, but Austin does not know whether those ancient existences are still alive today or have been buried deep in the Earth's core.However, the position of Earth's guardian cannot be occupied by just anyone, only those who can defeat the three mythical creatures of the ocean are w
The extremely rare occurrence of Dimensional Energy made Austin travel the world more vigorously to visit some untouched locations and ascertain if there were any other visible Dimensional Energy or traces that might have been left by other beings.However, those who can control Dimensional Energy are not simple characters, they could be invincible existences like the three mythical beasts guarding the Earth or even existences equivalent to Gods.Although the little black centipede the other day looked very vulnerable as if it could easily die if stepped on at any time, the fact that it was able to enter a small dimensional gate was proof that it was able to navigate the chaotic currents of time and go to other worlds in this vast universe.Now Austin was in the interior of a fairly dense forest. It was far away from the city and there were only a few villages in the forest that maintained a traditional lifestyle amidst the rampant modern lifestyle.Austin stroked his chin as he looke
