Maximus and Esther drove towards the Nobles District. All houses and villas in this district were owned only by the truly wealthy, and security in this district was tight. The gold-coloured BMW X7 stopped in front of a well-fenced villa standing on six acres of land with a fountain in the middle, its floor was covered with well-trimmed carpet grass.“Truly worth the two hundred million trium I paid,” Maximus commented with a smile on his face.“Come, Esther, let us take a tour of our new home,” Maximus said as he walked towards the entrance while Esther stood rooted at the spot as Maximus' words shocked her.“Our.. our!?” Esther stuttered. Maximus turned around and faced her with a smile on his face.“Did you think I am heartless as to take your family's company and then leave you to fend for yourself?” Maximus asked her.“But you paid for it fair and square.” Esther clarified.“Come on in with me Esther, let's go check our new home,” Maximus repeated and went in as if he did not hear
Early the next morning. Maximus was dressed in his immaculate gold suit, a gold wristwatch on his left wrist, his dark blond curly hair was combed to the back and tied with a golden ribbon giving him a small ponytail, a golden hairpin was inserted in his ponytail, Maximus looked every inch a rich European Prince. Meanwhile, Esther's mother led her out to the field where Maximus was waiting for her, she looked so stunning. Dressed in a silk-satin evening dress with a V neckline which left her arms and shoulders exposed, plus it emphasized her bosom. She wore a golden circlet that appeared to be made out of small camellias woven together, in a word, she looked like a 'Fairy Princess'. Maximus had spared no expense on getting her the best fashion Triton had to offer, he felt he had to make her smile always, which has been what he had been doing ever since he brought her to his villa, he also knew she would be a great help to him in future.“Wow! You look stunning! Your gorgeous figure an
The opening party of the Ozilla Empire Corporation proceeded without a hitch, and soon it was time for the clan heads and heirs to move on to the mini auction house. A lot of people complained saying what quality product will a greenhorn in the business world have that will gain their attention. Nevertheless they still followed behind the gold suit clothed man who was exuding a confident aura.Inside the mini auction house, the family heads and echelons stayed on one side inside separate rooms while the scions and heirs stayed on another side, also in separate rooms. Maximus had recruited a commoner who seemed to be talented in the art of persuasion. The auctioneer, a thin blond man who had a few freckles on his face, mounted the podium and gazed at the intimidating faces of everyone seated inside their various rooms. Maximus had also recruited several Tech ability users and light element users to not only provide the technology needed for security and bidding, but also to lighten the
Leaving the mini auction house, the guests proceeded to the music studio as many of them marveled at the top notch equipments they saw at the studio. Maximus and Esther had it all planned as they sought to milk all these rich cows dry.As the guests were observing the equipments, Esther went into an enclosed glass cubicle which was set specifically for musicians. She took the headset, connected the microphone and tapped on it to get everyone's attention, which it certainly did. The tech ability users responsible for handling equipments in the studio got everything ready in a flash, then a sweet melodic instrumental beat flowed out, it sounded soothing and inspiring, but what got the guests hooked was when Esther used her light ability and began to glow like an angel, then she opened her mouth and spewed out an awe inspiring song...“I will run, I will climb, I will soar...I'm undefeated ooh,Jumping out of my skin pull the chord.Yeah I believe it.The past is everything we were,But
Maximus had just received a boon in strength and he couldn't wait to check it out. He left Esther gaping at him while he hurried back to the suite. Laying down on a gold colored sofa, he summoned the system.“Show me my status window” Maximus said with excitement clearly shown on his face.«As you wish Host.»«Ding!Host: Maximus Akkris GayleRace: HumanStatus: All for oneStrength: 100Agility: 100Stamina: 100Perception: 100Skills: Knowledge of King Arthur; martial arts and weapons mastery (Lv3), Knowledge of Loki; deceitful charms (Lv4) copycat (Lv0), Knowledge of Lykoi; system coins Exchange (Lv1) Fortune appraisal (Lv2).

Maximus lay on his King-size bed as the event of the day flashed through his mind. After getting a new quest from the system, he had asked the system the amount of system coins needed to upgrade it to 2.0, the system's response was a bit disheartening. Ten thousand system coins were needed to upgrade it to 2.0 and Maximus had only 2,500 system coins.Sigh! If only there was a mission that would yield a bountiful amount of system coins, he would grab onto it without a second thought.Ring! The telephone beside the bed rang, who could it be at this hour of the night, Maximus groaned, got up and took the phone.“Hello?” Maximus spoke into the mouthpiece.“Hello Mister Gold, sorry to disturb your sleep but I have urgent news which I thought you would want to hear.” Esther's voice sounded from the receiver.“What news? What happened?” this time Maximus sprang up from the bed, the thought of his company being robbed or his employees being harassed came into his mind.“The young master of th
[PRESENT TIMELINE]Shawn walked to the wardrobe inside the bedroom and opened it.He could see clothes and other accessories of his parents inside the wardrobe and even some of his old clothes that were too small for him to wear now.Inside the Wardrobe, he also found what he was looking for. There was a pair of Dark Gloves placed inside the Wardrobe.The gloves belonged to his mother that she had specially made for herself so that she could go on with life without worrying about destroying everything she touched.These were special items that were made of one of the rarest materials in this world. It was something that could resist the powers of Decay.Unfortunately, it also couldn't resist it for infinity. It also decayed, but it was able to resist many times longer than the most resistant item.Shawn didn't even know how long he could keep the gloves for himself without destroying them. From what he believed, he should be able to get one year of use out of these gloves, but these w
A heavily guarded research facility existed in an unknown place.The facility was a government facility under the control of one of the highest-ranking generals in the government.At the moment, the guards of the facilities were running towards a newly arrived helicopter that was soon about to land on the helipad.The guards reached the unknown helicopter. Their weapons remained in their hands as they stood alert. Even though it was a military helicopter, this wasn't from the army. They needed to be alert.The green helicopter belonged to the APF, which soon landed on the helipad. The door of the helicopter slid open as a few men stepped out of the helicopter.A red-haired man was the one who seemed to be leading the small group.The Chief of security was amongst the guards. At the sight of the red-haired man, he stepped forward."Calim Naders, the chief of security. May I know who you are? " The Security head reached out his hand towards the red-haired man."Xander Blake, APF, " Xand
IT ENDS HERE"I see now. Everyone has a story to tell." Black Heart sighed."Very well, locate Jian and Akira, it's time we finish this the right way.""Already did Father." Erik said with a smile."I'm not saying I forgive you for ditching us and going all bloodlust back then, but for Japan, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones." Jian said as he opened the door leading to the roof."What Jian meant to say is that, it's nice to see you again Mr Black Heart." Akira said with an amiable smile."I'm glad you two are not against me. Now, what shall we do about our numbers. We barely have enough men to take down the Triads manor " Black Heart said."I have a few men, they are my closest aides in the Yakuza, and they will storm the manor tonight. During the chaos we will be able to go deep into the manor." Akira said."Splendid! it ends here!" Black Heart exclaimed in Joy.*The streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district were always alive with activity, but tonight they pulsed with tension. The
“Hey you! Get out of here before I do something nasty!” the toy salesman shouted at Lucifer when he saw the teenage boy staring at the glass case. Lucifer paid him no heed and the man's face twisted in a grimace."Guards! This kid is not listening. Take this useless kid and throw him out!" The salesman said as he looked towards the guards."I am not useless!" Lucifer suddenly roared as he was again called useless. Black Thunder started cracking around him, shocking even the salesman. His voice seemed to contain a mysterious power that made it as intimidating as the roar of a lion. Not only the salesman but even the red-haired man was shocked as he looked back."Get back! He is an Awakened One! Move back; he is losing..." The red-haired man let out in warning, but it was too late. Before he could even complete his sentence, he saw Lucifer holding the neck of the man and crushing it entirely.The guards were horrified as they saw the salesman being killed. They raised their guns and aim
"Don't laugh at him. He might be homeless orphan who found some old clothes of someone in a dumpster or something, the woman replied to her son."There are many like him. Just ignore him." She continued walking holding her son's arm. while Lucifer heard the child's words and gazed at his clothes. It was right. He did think he looked odd. He once again shifted his blank gaze towards the child- sİzed mannequin that had clothed that was going to fit him perfectly. He started walking towards the shop instead. Just as he was walking towards the doors, another person was walking in his direction.It was a young red-haired man who was wearing a green t-shirt and black pants. He had donned a black coat over his clothes that had a Red Eagle Symbol on the chest. The man seemed to be in his mid-twenties only.Lucifer stepped closer to the shop and reached out his hand to open the door, but to his surprise, the doors slid to the side on their own as soon as he got near. Tilting his head slightly,
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, giving the world some warmth. Refreshing winds were flowing through the city of Ikrego, brushing against Lucifer's face as he reached the new city. The city seemed a bit bigger than anything he had seen before. In fact, it happened to be even biggerbthan the Legion City, which was the largest city he had seen before.There were beautiful houses everywhere. Even though Lucifer hadn't stepped inside the city, he could still see the beautifulbstructures of the city. There were also two tall statues placed at the entrance of the city of Ikrego, which seemed to look like humans. Lucifer didn't know about this, but the statues belonged to the previous heads of the Red Eagles Guild, which had its headquarters inside the city.Red Eagles was a guild that consisted of Hunters who went inside Dungeons to keep the Monster Index in control. Even though it was a big group and part of the Hunter Association, it hadn't always been an organization. In fact, it
Xander and Flourance were shocked when they saw the footage of the inhumane torture on a fifteen-year-old kid. They could see the boy's body twisting and turning in pain before he ultimately stopped moving.Xander was clenching his fist uncontrollably. Flourance was also shocked."This is torture! How can they be so inhumane to a little child?" Flourance commented."So they killed the boy, and now he's back for revenge. There is no Dark Variant Uprising angle in this anymore. It's all a tragedy made by humans." he further added, still enraged."Because of their stupidity, they put the whole world in danger." Xander hadn't spoken anything. But his face was saying everything. He seemed enraged, as if he wanted to destroy something.However, something happened. All his anger disappeared as a calm and serene emotion overtook him. His other ability had started acting. It was his Emotion Control that kept his emotion in control and prevented him from losing emotions whenever he was about t
Drak instantly opened his eyes and looked at Xander as he heard the words. It was as if his pained nerves were pressed. He also noticed a picture in Xander's hands was that of his sister and his mother."Are you threatening me?" Drak asked, frowning."How low can you fall? Going after my family?""You said you don't care if the world is destroyed. I'm just reminding you. If the world is destroyed, then don't forget, your family is a part of this world too. It would not only affect you and me but millions of people like her too." Xander replied calmly."I read your file, and I know about your family. The Beta team had also managed to locate your family when they were trying to find you," he further continued, ignoring the question as he walked closer to Drak to help him better see the image.Drak reached out his hand to hold the image, but before his hand could touch the picture, it was burned to ashes in the flames that appeared in Xander's hand out of nowhere."Do you want to know ab
The silence in Ayn's office was ultimately broken by her sigh itself."Alright. I'Il allow you to meet him. I won't let him leave the cell, though. You can take a laptop to his cell and have him help you." She stopped using her powers. Xander also stopped at the same time."He would not help you for no reason, though," She muttered as she placed her fingers on her chin."Leave that to me. I'll handle that. All you need to do is let me enter his cell and turn off the cameras for as long as I'm inside, " Xander said with a subtle smile on hisface."Alright. " Ayn tapped a button that was on her table while she simultaneously opened a drawer, bringing a laptop out of it."One of my men will take you to the cell. I will turn off the cameras from here after you get in the cell. Here, you can use this laptop. It has a masked ID; the Military won't be able to track it even if they find the hack, " She said as she gave Xander the laptop."I appreciate it. " Suddenly, there was a knock on the
After a few minutes, Lucifer picked up the last piece as he finally moved. He started walking towards the man who had been trying to drag his frail and injured body away from Lucifer. Unfortunately, despite Lucifer giving him so much time, he wasn't able to get much farther. He could only drag himself for a few meters. Lucifer easily closed in on the distance."Forgive me! Please forgive me! I'll be a good man. I won't do it again. I swear on my life."Gazing down at the man who was holding his hands, begging Lucifer to free him. Seeing no change in Lucifer's expression despite his begging, he changed his approach.'He's a kid. AlI kids love their parents,' he thought as he decided what to do."Think about your parents. What would they think if they knew their son was a murderer? Let me go. Walk on the righteous path and make your parents proud! "Albeit, his words fell on deaf ears, it seemed. Lucifer wanted to do it the same way since the man wanted to use his feet to show his crude
Even though he had S-Rank abilities, it wasn't as easy. Despite having the same S-Rank Super Strength, his strength was nowhere near the level of his father. He didn't even have one percent strength of his father just because his control and experience were lacking. It was a newly gained power.Generally, he shouldn't have been able to use even a fraction of this power without training, but surprisingly he could. It was unclear why it was that way. Maybe because he had seen his parents use their powers previously when they trained. Or perhaps it was something else.Despite only having the fractional strength of his father, his Super Strength was way stronger than any normal human can hope to comprehend, which only showed how strong his Father must have been. That was why his father was called the Strongest Warlock. He was just in a different realm altogether.Shawn was still sitting in a forest, cooking a beast that he had hunted. There was still half a day of distance between him and
