Zen looked down on James with an annoying smile. he stood puffing out his chest. On the other hand, James felt very disturbed by the inclusion of this person in his conversation.

"Move Zen, I need to talk to Henry." James said shifting Zen's body away from him. Unexpectedly, Zen's body was moved easily.

"Henry, please let me out for a moment. This won't last long." James pleaded.

Henry shook his head.

"No James. The surface is very dangerous for people like you. People with superpowers without proper training will only make them weak in the face of monsters. You'd better calm yourself down and train your body until you're ready. Your parents will be fine, I'm sure of it." Henry replied while patting James on the shoulder.

"Huh? Does that mean if I'm stronger then I can just come out?"

"That's not entirely true, but not only that. All the humans in HORNET don't know much information about the monsters, nor should we be careless while on the surface." Henry retorted.

James was adamant,

    James entered the training room and slammed the door loudly. It’s voice was so loud that it startled Axel who was waiting for him. James walked quickly to Axel and stopped right in front of him.He looked at the guy who often looked down with piercing eyes. The look of someone who was upset."Axel, I do want to see my parents, but fighting Zen is not a good idea! He'll maim me for life!" protested James.Axel clasped his hands together with a thump. He smiled widely and chuckled happily."Y-you're going to win, James!" he said regardless of James's protests.Axel pranced around happily. He loved this situation so much, he imagined that Zen would bow down to him and ask for forgiveness.On the other hand, James became annoyed with the behavior of the human in front of him. James grabbed Axel's wrist to make him stop prancing. Unexpectedly, James' hand was immediately rejected by Axel. The look on the man's face changed briefly."Sweat! Don't touch my sweat! There's a lot of bacteria!"

    "Sure! I'll follow you!" James accepted Anne's invitation without hesitation. They both left the training room, Axel couldn't do anything to stop them.James and Anne entered the research room, then Anne knocked on a room. When the owner of the room opened the door, James could see that Lisa was the owner of the room."Anne? James? Why are you here?" Lisa asked."James and I need your help. We need to talk in a quiet place." Anne said seriously.Lisa then looked at her two friends. She then opened the door to the room fully."Come in, Professor Miguel is away and won't be back anytime soon. We can use this room."They then entered the room. Lisa locked it and made sure no one came near. Then Lisa came over to them.Then Lisa sat down in front of them."What are you doing here? Is it about the duel with Zen?" asked Lisa matter-of-factly."See, James, you're famous." Anne smirked slightly at James."Have you even heard about it?" asked James.Lisa nodded.

    The police car was speeding along amidst the glittering lights of the street. They were not on patrol, but on their way to a house on Blue Hill Street, a small neighborhood in the middle of the city.They stopped the car in front of a small house there. Even though it was ten o'clock at night, the house lights were still on. The two policemen who had previously checked James's house got out of the car.Ethan and Benjamin, the names of the two policemen. They were investigative police from the Landfield Police Department. Of course, their real identities were monsters, just like their colleagues at the police station. The police station in this city no longer had humans. Everything was dominated by monsters. With their position of control over the security field, the monsters began to use it to protect their own nation, and didn't care much about ordinary people."It's annoying when the Chief of Police assigns tasks late like this. We were given a case that's halfway through anyway. Li

    Mark seemed hesitant about Benjamin and Ethan's invitation. Several times he took his eyes off the two policemen. The boy was actually still deeply traumatized by the massacre in front of him half a year ago.Exactly a week before he was adopted by his parents, he traveled with his friends and the orphanage officials. As they stopped for a meal, Mark was suddenly kidnapped by a man in a black mask--Ryo Krugger, and he was taken hostage. Three orphanage caretakers along with seven police officers were mobilized to search for him, while the other children were left with a caretaker of another orphanage.By the time they were found, Ryo Krugger and a man in a white mask--Zen, who carried a scythe--were waiting for the seven. Ryo pulled out a short shotgun and a dagger, and pointed them at the police and the three caretakers of the orphanage."You've had enough of playing orphanage caretaker. You've caused a disturbance by eating the homeless human children you picked up last month. You b

    Keeping Mark alive was a big mistake for Zen and Ryo. Mark apparently remembers Ryo's face and the smell of the two of them. A week later the monsters hunt Ryo who is doing a mission in the middle of the city. Ryo killed them one by one and interrogated them. From the interrogation, he found out that the monsters can find someone through their smell, and Ryo is their main target. Ryo is hunted down to be killed and to find Zen. Knowing that his partner was in danger, Ryo reported the incident to HORNET. The organization acted quickly. They created a special cloak to disguise their scent. However, they couldn't find a solution for Ryo's face that was already known by the monsters. HORNET finally made the unilateral decision to dispose of Ryo for the safety of everyone in NEST.Ryo drank a serum that made him forget everything related to HORNET, and then he lived his life on the surface. Zen had negotiated with HORNET several times not to do that to Ryo, but was ignored by the higher-ups

    James looked disappointed when he found out. He turned to Anne, but she also looked confused. The blonde woman seemed to have no other way but to ask Lisa for help.Lisa stood up from her seat. She adjusted the position of her glasses. The bob-haired woman squinted slightly at James."Please don't ask me to do something like this again. Especially when you're only doing it for your own benefit. You are a man, you should be stronger than us women," Lisa said.Lisa walked over to the door of the room and opened it."If you have nothing more to say, please return to your places immediately. My other coworkers might see you in this place if you linger here." Lisa said coldly.Unable to argue, James and Anne left the room. Lisa then closed the door without saying anything."Looks like you've lost your chance, James. You can't leave NEST like I did." Anne said.There was no reply from James. He just contemplated what Lisa had just said. James felt that what Lisa had said was true. James nee

    Heart racing, James feared that his mother would be harmed, but he couldn't ignore the person holding his leg right now."Let go of me, Zen!" James slapped Zen's hand hard, making Zen's hand release its grip.Zen was in pain from the blow, his hand was bruised red from that one small blow.His strength is like that of a monster! Zen thought.Not to be deterred, James took advantage of the opportunity to run back out.Zen picked up a rope and threw it. The rope wrapped around James' leg and made the man fall. Zen ran over and touched James' neck."Don't move, James! If you move, I will make your neck rot and you will die." Zen threatened coldly.James was transfixed and his eyes bulged. He glanced at Zen's face. The man had an annoyed expression on his face."Stand up, damn it!" Zen guided James' body to stand up, he followed suit."Walk!" Zen forced James to walk slowly towards somewhere."Where are we going?" asked James full of cold sweat.Zen smiled a little."Where else? We're goi

    A tall, strong-faced woman entered the arena. She was the one Henry had assigned to referee the duel. This woman was Michelle Kurt, who was more senior than both James and Zen.Michelle watched James carefully. The confused face of James who was looking for a suitable wooden sword to use made her intrigued. A new kid like James would probably lose instantly when faced with Zen. Although he was Axel's student, he hadn't even practiced for a month. Moreover, the bruises depicted on James' face convinced Michelle that this man must be very weak.The woman turned her attention to Zen. In stark contrast to James, Zen looked in great shape and full of confidence to finish off his opponent. That sturdy body would probably pulverize James in no time. Add to that Zen's expression of holding back annoyance at James, he must be eager to kick the new kid's ass."You're wasting my time, new boy!" said Zen getting impatient seeing James still struggling to find a suitable weapon.James didn't liste

    "Mother Grizzly's telekinesis can only be used on one object. When she is using telekinesis, she will choose to avoid attacks rather than fight with telekinesis. Right now Mother is using telekinesis to make herself levitate. She can't move on her own because she has no legs now, meaning she can only rely on her physical strength to fight you, James," Sasha explained with a grin.Mother pouted in annoyance. "Even knowing the secret of my power won't allow you to defeat me, Sasha! You were wrong to hope for this human!"James himself was not in a good place. He was extremely frustrated that he had failed to help his friend again. He was so stressed out, he was beating his own forehead with his hand and yelling. "Stupid! Stupid! Damn it!" he swore repeatedly."Even humans are crazy, Sasha. Your hopes are dashed!" Mother chuckled.As James could no longer bear the weight on his shoulders, he ran towards Mother Grizzly and unleashed a punch. Mother Grizzly blocked it with her hand, but it

    James didn't hesitate to lunge at him. But after just a few steps, his body suddenly became immobilized. Then his body was thrown to the side until it hit the wall. The supernatural impulse was so strong that the wall broke."When I wear this form, my telekinesis ability increases dramatically. Humans like you are just like insects before my power," Mother Grizzly said, belittling James.While they fought, Lisa quietly led the badly injured Anne back outside the room. Feeling far enough away, Lisa took out the only remaining regenerator serum liquid. "Relax, Anne. You'll survive," she said as she fished the serum out of her shirt pocket.Anne's hands held Lisa back from injecting the liquid. "Don't... our fight isn't over yet," Anne gently refused.Lisa frowned instead. "Anne! You're hurt badly!"Instead of ignoring Lisa, Anne forced herself to stand up. "James is a terrible person. He'll be overwhelmed if he's alone!" said Anne as she walked back towards the battleground. "Besides, t

    James couldn't help but think that the monster in front of him was out of his mind. He would do anything to fulfill his ambition, even to involve a child like this. James hates them because they kill. James hated Mother Grizzly for using a child, even James hated himself for having the heart of an Unchegila.As Mother laughed in satisfaction, suddenly a sword slid out and stabbed the child, sending him flying into the wall. With Mother Grizzly's eyes turned slowly and trembling, she saw the child hanging from the sword stuck in the wall. The child's heart was stabbed and he seemed to be convulsing in pain. In less than five seconds, the boy stopped moving.James, the only human still conscious felt a rush of emotions. His chest felt tight and his breath came in gasps at the heinous scene. He turned to the one who had thrown the sword. The only person who did not want Mother's ambition to be achieved even if she was a monster: Sasha."Asshole!" James immediately ran and unleashed a str

    "Jack, beat them. If you do, then you'll get more power than me," Mother Grizzly said casually."What do you mean, Mother?" Jack began to worry about Mother Grizzly's wishes after she revealed her goal.Mother Grizzly glanced at him sarcastically. "You still don't understand? You have two choices. You will perish at my hands or help me create the perfect creature to replace humans. If you help me, then I will give you more abilities that can make you my right hand. However, if you turn against me, then I will give you a painful death," Mother explained.Jack stepped forward by forming four fireballs above his head. "Isn't the answer obvious, I will defend you. Even if you want to replace the current generation of Unchegila, but I still can't do anything in front of you."Sasha stood up and turned to James. "Ghost, no, James Winter. I know it's a little annoying, but we have to work together for a while. They intend to kill us and take our organs. Help me kill Mother!" she said coldly.

    Chapter 156 : James is Ghost

    Lisa fell to her knees while covering her mouth. Her trembling eyes could not hold back the tears that spilled out. Anne couldn't believe what she was seeing either. She took two steps back. And the most surprised was James.James' heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to explode. He couldn't bear to see so many corpses in that big room, and all of them were human. The bodies of their friends were no longer intact and were lying there. There were even a lot of pieces of human bodies from HORNET that were already very difficult to recognize.Unconsciously, James' laser eyes became active. His eyes glowed red and focused. He wanted to immediately finish off the mastermind who had killed his friends. "ARE YOU THE ONE KILLED THEM, HUH?!" said James angrily.All the Unchegila in the room were surprised by James' presence. Sasha, Jack, and even Mother were stunned to see the figure in black armor and flaming eyes."Apparently that's the reason why you're so strong..." Sas

    "Sasha, you are an Unchegila with human logic. You are almost perfect. All your actions, the way you obtain information, the way you learn, all indicate that you are a person capable of replacing humans. Unfortunately, you cannot learn human emotions well. You cannot know many human emotions including happiness. Intelligent people who lack kindness will only create a generation that kills and destroys each other. Then, what's the point of that? But Martin, he has a lower learning ability than you. But he can feel various human emotions, so he can influence other people's feelings. Unchegila wants to make everyone around her happy," Mother Grizzly explained as she approached Sasha.When she was in front of Sasha, she brought her mouth to the beautiful red-haired woman's ear. "So, do you know what I need to do to create the perfect generation?"Sasha glanced sharply at the old woman. Mother Grizzly grimaced and chuckled as she returned to her seat. "Of course I have to do experiments, r

    Sasha threw a smoke bomb into the center of the room, then quickly put on her goggles. The explosion of the smoke grenade spread throughout the room, even to the children and Unchegila."Everyone, close your eyes!" Lois exclaimed as she covered her eyes."Asshole! He's after us too!" cursed Jack as he closed his eyes tightly.Moloch wailed as he felt the pain in his eyes. He covered his eyes with the palms of his hands, but the smoke was already making his eyes hurt. The monster struggled to open his eyes again as water kept coming out of his eyes.Moloch slammed his fist on the floor to the point that the floor cracked. "You bitch! Use all your strength! Why are you using the techniques of the humans instead?!" he exclaimed in annoyance.From a distance, Sasha aimed a gun at Moloch's head. "Sorry Moloch, you're still too stupid to fight me," Sasha said with a smirk.Two shots were fired by Sasha. The bullets traveled at a very high speed, then hit the side of Moloch's head. The monst

    "Hey! Stop you guys!" James exclaimed while carrying Michael Hubble's corpse. The red-scaled Unchegila all turned to him and were wide-eyed. They shook in disbelief at what they saw."Mr. Michael... how could...," whimpered a thin Unchegila. He fell to his knees in disbelief, even shedding tears.James lit up his eyes, he wanted to intimidate these monsters. "You will leave or I will annihilate you!" James shouted an order.The Unchegila simultaneously changed into their human form. They looked at each other. "Those eyes..."It's my laser eyes all over again. What exactly do they mean? James' mind was troubled."Alright, we'll leave and not bother you anymore. We have your smell in mind, Ghost," one of them said firmly.Without caring about Michael Hubble's corpse, they walked away from the place towards the city. They walked with their heads down as if they had lost hope. Resigned to the future. There was only one Unchegila still standing there. Wordlessly, he sprinted toward the Ti

    Chapter 152 : Michael Hubble

    "Kuh!" Anne fell to her knees in exhaustion. This sexy woman pulled out her sharp iron hand from the head of an Unchegila she had just killed. Out of the 10 Unchegila that attacked them, Anne and Lisa were able to keep up and kill three of them. Anne's martial arts skills gave her an edge over the Unchegila who had only learned martial arts in a short time. However, the power and physical strength of these two women were no match for the Unchegila. If any of these red-scaled Unchegila attacked them at close range again, they could be injured."Damn it! I'm exhausted just from facing three of them!" complained Anne while trying to stand up. "What about James?""I don't know, I'm busy here!" replied Lisa while busy throwing beads at the Unchegila. The explosions from the beads caused the surroundings of the monsters to be filled with smoke.James himself was still fighting with Michael and the two skinny Unchegila. James was overwhelmed by the two skinny Unchegila because of their fast
