When he woke up from the deep slumber, he shielded his eyes as bright light blinded his vision until he blinked a few more times. Adjusting his senses to the surroundings, he found himself laid on a cold floor and an almost empty room with only a single bucket could be spotted on one of the edges.

One side of the walls was clear glass, where he sighted a man in uniform who sat on a chair while he fiddled with his exwatch. Oblivious to Yunzheng's state for his attention wholly focused on another thing and beside him, a table with a few sorts of things such as a plate of piled chips, cards, a glass that held what seemed to be half filled coffee, and a paper.

Yunzheng rubbed his glabella and let out a soft groan when the circumstances finally sunken into his mind. He got captured, that much was obvious but what vexed him would be how he couldn't even guard against whatever skill that man with a mask thrown at him.

Just in time, something rang within his head and a translucent blue scre

    A bizarre sight even for Yunzheng as he saw the moving smoke coming from Gilbert and entered through the orifices of a full grown man. As if he couldn't breathe, the man held his neck, choking and his eyes bulged out until at last, he slumped to the ground. Eyes rolled backwards while Gilbert landed with a hop. [A Side Task has Appeared!] [Side Task : Escape the building with Gilbert's help in less than an hour! Rewards : Gilbert's level +5Failure : Suspend Gilbert for a few weeks.]Skimming through the notification, another shout ensued. This time, it sounded familiar and when Yunzheng glanced at the direction of the voice, there was a struggle between a full grown man and a cat which he couldn't touch. "You cannot be so rough to the soon-to-be noble, nya!"With its feet materialized out of the drifting smoke, Gilbert clawed the man's mask and knocked it away. The scarred feature had been displayed for the world to see and the man tried to cover his face with his hand. Still, th

    It has always been a bad day for Chen Yue. Things in life have never been brightening up for her and at times, her hard work pays nothing. Sometimes, she would be assigned to a task which nobody wanted to get and most of the time, things went awry outside of her control. "So, how many people get injured, exactly?"When she said those words, she could feel her stomach churning and threatened her last lunch to get out of her system. As she walked beside her colleague, who flipped the stacked reports on his hand while they were both walking through the wrecked hallways filled with cracks and holes, the man finally replied. "Fifteen heavy injuries, twenty six minor injuries and light concussions, but there's four deaths of which two of them were Guardians, ma'am."The scene of a bellied pot, balding short man yelling at her face had appeared instantly in her mind. The day was when her team scheduled to watch over the newest troublemaker with abilities undetected by any sort of machines

    While Yunzheng rode the wind in his wake, many kinds of thoughts raced in his head and some of them were just as he had expected. Recalling the brief moment he had when browsing through the document of his family back then, there was another piece of information that stated he was among the deceased. The official statement said how his entire body was devoured by Hofgast, the name of the gigantic monster back then which devastated a group of soldiers with ease. Information they gathered from some random witnesses on the scene and not to mention he was missing for all this time, it wasn't wrong for the government to declare him dead.That gave birth to a question which he was dying to know of. Whose body he was using right now? Through the reflection of glass that he had seen before, his face definitely looked like him, same height and same birthmark, a little mole right on his neck. Granted that his body was a little sluggish now than before, but that was because his body hadn't reta

    As the sun slowly set from afar, Yunzheng enjoyed the strong breeze of autumn whilst he munched upon a half eaten hot dog in his hand and a bunch of food inside a plastic bag beside him. Both of his feet dangle on top of one of the skyscrapers, watching the bustling crowd and passing vehicles below."Master, this one found the nest of some thugs distance from this place."Gilbert's voice rang behind him, reminding him that he wasn't alone in his 'homeless venture'. After the disappearance of the cat, Yuzheng managed to steal another Exwatch which had a password in effect, making him unable to use it in the slightest and leaving it back at the entrance of the cafe. Still with no money and no place to call home, Yunzheng let out an almost inaudible sigh before he rose and turned to face Gilbert. Gilbert's small stature and twitching ears birth curiosity of his backstory along with the urge to pat the cute head. Still, he dispelled those thoughts instantly, focusing on the matter at han

    When the cloud of dust scattered around, Yunzheng rushed with a palm open wide. Before the boy could react, the strike hit him right on his neck as he subconsciously choked in response before Yunzheng went to execute a few sets of punching moves in a single breath. Each strike felt like a hammer, which made the boy both confused and bewildered, seeing how his gigantic state should lessen the strength behind the impact. Unable to keep up with Yunzheng's pace, the boy threw a wide sweep of his hand in hope to bash through his foe. Unfortunately, Yunzheng easily ducked and then leapt to grab his opponent's neck. In a blink of an eye, a surge of life force flowed from the boy to Yunzheng, causing the former to return to his normal form as he struggled free of the iron grip. In a short amount of time, the abundant and boundless strength seeped away from his limbs and the boy felt deep despair within. Before his arms could fall in weakness, Yunzheng took back his hand.

    When the sunlight touched upon the wrecked room, Yunzheng had been stirred from his slumber and the corner. Despite the overwhelmingly energy coursing through his body, a sense of weariness which hammering on his head caused him to fail to find his strength. In a few attempts, he rose to his feet, indulging at the scene of havoc which he caused during the whole night.With a little twist to his neck, it cracked and he relaxed the stiffened joints before a drifting smoke found its way before him, reshaping itself into a black cat who stared at him in the same gaze of someone who didn't notice nor care about the scattered pieces around them. "Good morning, master. This one wanted to tell you that perhaps, your outburst last night had attracted some unwanted curiosity."In his frown, Yunzheng was about to probe further but Gilbert displayed his opened paw and conjured surging smokes that formed small figurines and the surrounding environment.There, some passing guests had sent their gl

    As the drifting putrid stench filled the dimly lit alley, a shadow flashed before a tiny squeak was uttered. The little creature tiptoed carefully in its stride, eyes wary of the surroundings but still fixated upon a half chewed piece of ham in the middle of a muddy puddle. Before it could grab its prey, a series of footsteps echoed, bringing its ears to twitch as it realized the sounds became closer in rapid speed. Soon enough, a figure way bigger than it was rushing forward, stomping at the puddle and scurrying away the critter. The figure gritted his teeth and sweats drenched the black shirt veiled by his fake, cheap leather jacket he found in some rundown shop. One of his eyes was swelling and he felt the pain and aches coming all over his body in this marathon. Still, he kept running, didn't turn his head even once, and tried to regulate his breath and posture, so he could run a little bit longer. His sprint led him to a crossroads to which he finally stopped and felt his eyes

    "Another murder report?"Saying those words wither raised eyebrows, Chen Yue titled her head which was held by her hand as she continued her queries, "Let me guess, their corpse looks a little shriveled, mutilated by some sort of sharp object, and found in either alleyways or some ongoing construction building?"The man in front of her, whose appearance didn't seem to be more than forties, shrugged his shoulders and handed her a stack of papers. Placing them on the desk, she browsed through some of them before sighed heavily. "Is there anything else?" she asked, when she noticed the man still hadn't left her office. "The captain ain't happy with how slow the investigation went, Xiao Yue. You need to keep looking out for our escaped prisoner that day.""Me and my team have done our best and will continue to do so, please tell our captain that."Shaking his head, the man turned around and spoke out before closing the door, "Your business. I ain't no pigeon. I already said what he want

    As his breathing started to calm down, Yunzheng's leaned body rose and his eyes narrowed. Half of his clothes were soaked by the blood of his own and others. Though the flesh mend and strength surged, exhaustion nagged at the back of his mind. Aching in a slow rhythm whilst he gripped his fists. It was a sign of overusing his body without a proper technique. Despite his wounds being reconstructed, he could feel that something was wrong and the Blood Nourishing pills could only do so much. He needs proper treatment or to absorb more prey soon but for now, he will grit his teeth, continue his search, and finish this mission. As he marched on, Yunzheng found the lack of presence nearby. Although he should be on the way to the section where it should be most guarded, he didn't see any cannon fodders, not to mention supers. Finally, his path led him into a dead end. Raising his eyebrows, Yunzheng simply executed his fist technique and tried to break down the walls. To his surprise, alt

    Half an hour after he barged through the mansion and wreaked havoc by himself, Yunzheng gained a considerable amount of energy as his cultivation almost reached its peak. Sometimes, he would spot other guardians that would fight in a group or two but Yunzheng immediately ignored them and went for another location. As he progressed forward, the notifications about Gilbert gaining more levels appeared in his view, causing him to smile a little even in the middle of battle. So far, what he had faced was supers that were either around rank C and B, with most seemed to be in the rank D but their ability was more diverse and unsuited for combat, such as wall climbing, tougher bones, spurting inks out of their hands. While getting closer to the main location of the raid, Yunzhenh also saw more B and A rank supers. If before there were only a couple or so of them, now it has turned into a group of ten. He had to even use his formation flags to fight and even ground with them. Fortunately,

    When Wang Mei and the rest finally arrived inside the mansion, some of them widened their eyes at the big pool of blood and guts decorating the place. One of them even murmured the word crazy and truthfully, Wang Mei had to agree. They were supposed to capture these criminals, no matter how heinous their actions were. Yet, one person turned this battlefield into a bloodbath. The scene was disheartening to see. Rumors of Yunzheng's ability or martial arts were heavily linked into something like a vampire or Dracula spread around, especially when there was a strange corpse of a super in the courtyard. Wang Mei commented nothing on the matter and kept marching on. There would be a group of people that would deal with this mess or aftermath. "Wait, there's a kid!"That shout caught half of the guardians attention as they approached to see the situation. A little girl, who seemed to not be older than sixteen, was lying on the ground in a ball. Clutching her stomach as she closed her eye

    As his sword swiftly cleaved through the mobs, a gigantic statue was thrown to him, prompting him to execute his movement technique and avoiding it entirely. The ground shook and the statue crushed some of the mobs. Emerging from the cloud of dust were a few guardians, suffering no injuries except some tears on their clothes. A loud snort echoed throughout the vast courtyard and a giant shadow loomed over the battlefield. At the same time, hundreds of clones with the same face were shooting back bullets towards the guardians, as if they were facing an army instead of a criminal organization."It's an A rank, duplication skill, Xen Wu. Find his real body and kill him!"A guardian shouted out as he conjured a transparent wall, making the bullets passing through them to become as slow as snails. Meanwhile, another Guardian rushed forward, both of his hands morphed into one and half meters steel claws and sliced through the clones and the bullets. Giant vines and branches sprouting out

    "So, we have our own positions and since your ability suits you in the front line, I will suggest for you to think twice before rushing in and being reckless. This is the map of the place that the association had gotten for us. This would be a nice, quick, and smooth operation, so mistakes wouldn't be acceptable."The more he heard the man called Chou Wen rambling on, the more Yunzheng couldn't help but to raise his eyebrows in amusement. It was as obvious as the day that this new colleague of his was trying to show his dominance in seniority. Strangely, he tried to focus his attention to Yunzheng but there were instances when the man would secretly take a peek at Wang Mei who was sitting quietly at the corner, watching the passing scenery in the window. Gilbert, who was sitting one his side, was gazing at Chou Wen too, seemingly as aware as Yunzheng was. Even Wang Mei herself didn't spare a glance at the man, pretending to not care or hear anything. Only Lavda was still looking arou

    A scorching pain followed him in every step he took. His ragged breath formed into icy mist and his body shriveled at the faintest breeze. Strength leaving him as time passed and the roaring of his stomach was what echoed the most throughout the road. He had lost the sensation of his legs for a while. Even maintaining his open eyes gave him an effort he never knew existed. The only fuel that prompted him forward was the faces of his family back home. One and only wish he held dear, to come back and to not become a cold corpse in a foreign land he never heard of. When he rubbed his hand to seek for the slightest warmth, he saw the frostbite fingers.he wanted to chuckle but instead turned into a soft whimper that escaped his lips. Despite this, he trod forward. Never looking back. Minutes stretched into eternity and his own flesh felt more of irons and steel to shackle him to the ground. For who knows how long, his feet hit a rough staircase and the big wooden door with a board on t

    When Wang Mei walked to the lift that led her to Kim YoSoo's office, she couldn't help but frown and wondered what kind of matter it would be since usually, Chou Wen would be the chosen one to attend the briefings. Finally, she got there and greeted An Shen who said, "They are already waiting for you inside."The word 'they' caused Wang Mei to raise her eyebrows before she excused herself. She knocked a few times until there was a reply. When she turned the doorknob and was about to enter, she noticed a man's face who made her rooted on the spot. "It's you!" subconsciously, she cried out as her eyes widened. As the people in the room heard her voice, they directed their attention to her, especially the man who simply smiled at her bewildered look. "We meet again, miss Wang Mei." Yunzheng said his clothes were different from the white long sleeved ones that he wore in his confinement. This time, he wore a blue polo and long black pants, along with a red jacket. "No need to be alarm

    "Knowledge?" furrowing, Yunzheng probed, "What do you mean?""Just like what I've said. But of course, I would give more than just one month of freedom. I will give you resources, clean your criminal record, payment, and more. "Hearing the conditions, Yunzheng became more concerned. "I want you to teach us the way to cultivate."His ominous feeling took form when those words fell. Subconsciously, Yunzheng's gaze became colder and there was even a trace of killing intent within. It wasn't known if Kim YoSoo noticed the change, however, he shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Do you know how I know this? Well, we have inspected your equipment, especially your pills, and I have to say, the effect is quite… extraordinary."Yunzheng snorted at those statements. The thief saw his products and wanted for more. If not for these shackles, perhaps he already rushed to kick the man's face. Still, Yunzheng wanted to humor the man's words and spoke sarcastically, "And why do you think I would

    "We have met before." pointed Yunzheng as he raised his eyebrows, "Back then, you tried to help me with those thugs. Though it was unnecessary, I appreciate your help."Nodding her head, she said, "I don't know that you have power before, I apologize for being busybody." parting her bangs, she continued, "I'll get straight to the point, mister Tan. You are under arrest because of your involvement in destroying others properties, murder, and robbery.""It seems so." uttered Yunzheng without even trying to deny the accusation, "So, what now?""You can help us and we can help you. I propose a trade."His interest piqued, he said, "Go on…""We want information, mister Tan, and perhaps I could try to convince my superiors-""Convince?" frowning, Yunzheng shook his head, "If you cannot uphold something that you cannot give, then forget it.""But-""However, I will propose something else." looking at the girl, he spoke, "I would say anything you guys wanted in exchange for my and my companio
