For quite a moment, Keith's heart skipped. What was worse than being accused of what you didn't do? Keith couldn't believe his eyes. Now he noticed he was summoned to the Head Lord's fort just because he was the suspected killer."Why would I do that?! I'm not a murderer!" Keith shouted in anger and confusion, not believing what was happening to him. He just lost his father days ago, and now he had to face this? How miserable. He summoned the courage he needed and got to the Head Lord's fort after some minutes only to see countless Awakeneds. Among these Awakeneds were counter-crime officers, Armies, and Warlords. The vast expanse of the Head Lord's fort was enveloped in moans of grief. Actually, no one expected that the great Head Lord would die at this stage. It was unbelievable. Just like the sudden demise of the Supreme Warlord. Just as he stepped in, countless outrageous stares were cast on him. It was as though a Specter just ran into his enemy's court, and in the sligh
"Err... Um... Uhh..."When Keith heard the question posed by the chief officer, he stammered horribly. Keith's level of shock and confusion was beyond words. He was clearly taken aback."Actually... Officer, I'm still a Bronze-rank Awakened." With eyes that looked like a chasm, Keith mustered the courage to speak. As the chief officer stared at him, he noticed the sense of astonishment and nervousness in Keith's eyes. Even if a six-year-old boy caught a glimpse of Keith's countenance at this moment, he would clearly notice the unease lurking around him.Although Keith knew that the two guards would have suspected him after his fierce attack against them, he just didn't expect that they would spread the news to someone else.Keith just didn't think much about these things because of his father's issue, and now that the Head Lord was dead, it could be an investigative factor.'Shit! I'm in trouble now.'Keith couldn't help but curse badly, slightly clenching his fist and teeth at the
The video display that just appeared in mid-air stunned all the attackers, making them furrow their eyebrows in astonishment, some eyes broadened. In the video, a masculine figure clad in a black robe and covered in a hood cap could be seen entering the Head Lord's inner chamber. It was as if this man had a shadow ability, or perhaps, an ability that could make him invincible.No one noticed his presence in the fort, and even the main guards in the Head Lord's chamber couldn't even track his steps, even with their Observation Talents!It was quite unbelievable, and the attackers who were watching the display thought this was a total joke! "No way! That guard dressed like a knight is now a Gold-rank Presence Detector, there is no way he couldn't notice the presence of that guy!""Faked video! This isn't true!""Whoa, that guy must be a Platinum-rank Awakened already!""So this guy killed Lord Asher?! I promise you, I'll make you drink my pee before eating my sh*t to your grave!"Seve
Keith had a strong iron fist pouncing on his lips, causing an excruciating pain in his mouth. It was as though a rock of about 200 pounds as suddenly fallen on his mouth, and he couldn't help but exclaim..."Arghh!"The pain he felt just couldn't be expressed with silence.The young man who seemed to be about nineteen to twenty years old was vibrating uncontrollably in anger. Even after launching that fierce punch in Keith's mouth, he wasn't still satisfied. With anger, he attempted to push Keith again, this time, he aimed for his chest, not minding if he could kill this young man. But thanks to Officer Oliver, before the angry young man could launch another punch, he held his hand and stopped him. However, what happened next actually shocked Keith and the officer. Instead of getting hold of the young man's hand, Officer Oliver was suddenly blown away due to the force of the punch. Although he managed to stop him from hitting Keith in the chest, he became the victim of the attack w
Keith was quiet and didn't say a word to the detection officer. Of course, he knew that not everyone in the Blue Planet attended the Postings, but at least the news should have been spreading, right?The detection officer stole confused glances at Keith, his face blank and cold. He was actually the detection officer who detected Keith's talent several months ago and clearly saw that he had no talent, now he was accused of killing the Head Lord? 'How?!'"Can we just begin the detection, please?" Brendon said from behind, his face still red and fierce. "As you wish, young master," the detection officer turned to Keith, "Come forward, young man."Keith let out a mute sigh and walked further to reach the talent detection machine by a meter gap. The talent detection machine looked exactly like a CPU device which had a screen on the surface. Close to the screen at the extreme bottom of the machine's surface, two fingerprint sensors could be seen. The screen covered all surface areas exce
Punch back?No, Keith wouldn't dare to punch back.He was just getting ruled by his anger on the inside. If he did, well, he would be getting himself into another trouble.They decided to begin the mission the next day and let Keith go... Keith who hadn't eaten for a couple of days was suffering from stomach ache. He only tried to endure and rode to his fort as soon as possible.On reaching his fort, Keith saw Skyla coming out of the house dressed as if she was about to go out. She was in haste, and her appearance made Keith freeze."Oh, my king... I was about to come to the Head Lord's fort," Skyla said with a relaxed smile as she saw Keith. "It's fine now, they found out that I'm innocent," Keith said casually, giving a nod. "Of course they will. I showed the accused the murderer. Although many doubted, some still believed," Skyla said and walked close. "What do you mean? You know who killed Lord Asher?" Keith's brows furrowed in shock. He was trying so hard not to believe this,
Zenith municipal, capital city of Premier Territory. "Detect 432, come forward," a middle-aged man's voice could be heard in the crowded hall of Zenith City. A lengthy queue was formed before him. Before long, Detect 432 who was seen to be Keith Rotunda stepped forward without hesitation. His face showed a clear hint of fear as he approached a duo standing in front of the Talent Detection Machine. Today was the Talent Detection Day and every human at the age of eighteen was summoned to Premier Territory's capital city for talent detection since it was discovered that every single person in the Blue Planet awakens their talent at that age. Keith had waited for this day to come, training day and night just to help his core disclose his talent to his body. Today, Keith only hoped not to be Talentless. "Place your palms on the palm prints," the middle-aged man, a Silver-rank Awakened ordered. Keith quickly placed his palms on the palm prints after heaving a soft sigh. A particul
"What do you mean by that? No one can help out in this kind of situation," Keith rejected. The old man turned to look at him, his face slightly scowled. "That's a huge falsehood, the Lords had to lie to the people just to make sure that there would be Commoners among the humans. No one is unable to awaken their talent. It's just that they might be different methods," the old man said. "What methods? The Sacred Scripture mentioned only one method of Awakening, which is the Natural Awakening," Keith said. "Tsk! Are you being fooled by that piece of trash?" The old man said in anger. "The so-called Sacred Scripture is nothing but a bundle of lies. They aren't written by the Saints but the cruel Lords who want the world to themselves." Keith's sadness was suddenly replaced by a serious, pessimistic expression. His doubts about the words of the old Silver-rank Awakened only got higher. This time, his usual hatred for old people began to display itself. "What do you mean? How is th
