*****“Do any of you see how that new recruit took down the opponent? Could… could someone like that still be called a new recruit?”“This… I did not see anything.”“I… I also did not see anything.”“Same here. It… he didn’t even get near the opponent at all but yet, the almost invincible opponent was taken down.”Inside the achievement hall of the headquarters of the Scepter Directive Agency, a group of middle-aged men were heatedly debating at this moment, gazing blankly at a particular screen that was hanging below the high ceiling.These middle-aged men were the heads of all the major departments in the agency, whom the AS had ordered for the subordinate to call to witness what he was watching the other time.“Do you know how the new recruit took down his enemy?”One of the Middle-aged men in his high-ranking uniform abruptly asked after seeing the knowing smile that was spotting the face of the AS.All gazes were immediately drawn to the AS who had a mysterious look on h
*****The young man gazed frostily at everybody for a moment, then he slowly turned his gaze to the AS who instantly broke out in a cold sweat while trembling slightly for a brief moment.“The head sent me to inquire if you’ve readily gotten the new recruits he ordered you to find.”“I…” the AS hurriedly swallowed hard, then he quickly nodded his head and picked up a stack of papers from his desktop, looking like a mere subordinate of a company that was communicating with one of the higher-ups.“Here,” he gave the stack of papers respectfully to the young man and quickly reversed back to his initial position.After accepting these papers, the young man gazed at everybody more for a few seconds, then his gaze settled on the most scared person in the hall.“I will not touch you today given the fact that you’re my senior and a head of department. However, the next time I hear you speak bad about my department…” The young man chuckled coldly, then not finishing what he was saying, h
***** “How come I had no idea that you own one of those incredibly rare-to-come-by second-chance medicines?” “Mistress, We kept this a secret from you because we knew that you’d have intentionally been careless about your own life and would have done something very silly if you had known about it, which would have in turn made us use the medicine on you unnecessarily.” “That’s right mistress. Look at how you have risked your life today. Had we long used the medicine that was assigned to us by the master when he was alive as the last line of defense for you, wouldn’t we have only become helpless as we watched your vitality gush out of your body and dwindle till it disappear now?” This was what Williams heard as he and the fourth king were respectfully led into a lounge by the lady who had come to relay the second king’s wish to them. No sooner had they entered than they were noticed by the second king who was now half lying and half sitting on a sofa and the two elderly women, who
******Knowing what Williams was thinking due to the expression on his face, Simi smiled and instantly felt another wave of respect for him.She sighed and opened her mouth.“My family’s name is…”Simi embarked on telling Williams and Marcus her story and background.However, the more Williams and Marcus hear, the wider their mouth open with shock, and the more disbelieving they become.They soon became engrossed in the novelty story that sounded surreal to them and they became lost.The story was captivating, emotional, and blood-pumping.As it was, Simi was from one of the several powerful hidden families located in the world, as she had claimed.Her family’s strength was several times above that of the strongest family in Zed City, dang, even in the whole of the country, but that was still from her explanation. Not that Williams and Marcus have another way to confirm.it was a peace-loving family and would rarely fight with others unless they were friendly matches most of
******As soon as Mark nodded his head in response to her question, Simi smiled and instantly felt another wave of respect for him, knowing what Mark was thinking in his mind.She sighed internally before she eventually opened her mouth.“My family’s name is…”As though she were narrating a story that had nothing to do with her, which was obviously a facade she put on to keep her emotions from getting out of control, Simi embarked on telling Williams and Marcus the story.The more Williams and Marcus hear, however, the wider their mouths open with shock, and the more disbelieving they become.They were soon engrossed in the novelty story that sounded surreal to them.It was not only a captivating story, it was both emotional and blood-pumping as well.As it was, Simi was from one of the several powerful hidden families that were located in the world, as she had claimed.Her family’s strength was top-notch and several times above that of the strongest family in Zed City.Her
***** Even before they get to where the first king was locked, the sound of constant wiping and grunting of pain already entered the ears of Williams and the trio. They quickly grasped the origin of these noises as soon as they arrived at the jail that was located within the second faction's estate. In the place, a pitiful-looking elderly man, with tattered, blood-soaked clothes and numerous visible injuries, was bound to a chair. Two women who were presently displaying faces filled with hatred were continuously lashing him with two long belts adorned with embedded nails. The ladies were sweating profusely, a testament to how they had long been using all the strength they could muster to whip the first king who had now lost all the traces of grace and pride he ever had in his life. “You bastard! This is for my third sister! (whip!!)” “This is for Her Highness!!! (whip!!)” “This is for my best friend whom your dogs killed!! (whip!!!)” “This is for my…” The beauties continued c
*****“What… what where are you going?”As though Williams was an approaching devil who was going to extract his soul and give it the greatest torture known and unknown to a man, the first king began to tremble when he saw him getting nearer to himself.Unintentionally, he recalled the image of how Williams had easily taken down the strongest backer he had ever gotten in his life, and the old man almost fainted from fear.As for the others, they looked at Williams with perplexity, not knowing what he was going to do.‘Will he resort to torture?’ The old granny thought and both the second and fourth kings shared her thoughts as well. This was also the same conclusion the old man had also come to that scared the living hell out of him.However, Williams didn’t do as they’d thought, instead, he suddenly placed his right hand calmly on the now frantically fidgeting old man’s head as soon as he got to him, then he shut his eyes.“Hun…”The spectators exchanged further bewildered ga
***** The inside of the lounge was unusually quiet at this moment, with everybody gazing blankly at Williams. Their faces ranged with all shades of colors, most of which were of intense shock, disbelief, and deep rage. Nobody was able to speak for more than ten minutes after Williams was done narrating what he had managed to extract from the first king’s memory. “Are… are you saying that that bastard was the one who had kidnapped the adopted sister whom I’ve been searching for for almost four years now?” Simi suddenly quivered as she inquired of this, her eyes rapidly turning red and her face looking painful. Although Williams pitied her, he still nodded his head. “So, because my sister argued with his subjects that I’m more powerful than him, he turned her into his sex slave, subjecting her to various sorts of torture every single day until he killed slaughtered her?” Again, Williams nodded his head when he heard this question. As soon as Simi got this confirmation, however,
