The Almighty Landon

The Almighty Landon. Chapter 6.

.

Landon was stunned.

What the hell is really going on?!

‘No…this has to be a joke right..’

To be honest, since yesterday things are so strange that he has so many questions to ask but he did not expect his mysterious caller to be like this. First of all how did she know she had seen a mysterious crimson silhouette? Who is she? How did she get his number?

At first he had thought that his encounter with the crimson silhouette was a dream but this lady before him is making him think otherwise…and to top it all of he didn’t expect his mysterious caller to turn out like this.

“Are you the one who called me?” Landon asked.

“Yes, young master. You can call me Eve.” Eve looked around and understood the current situation going on so she took action. “Young master, why don’t we go somewhere private so that we can talk?”

Then why the hell does she keep referring to him as young master?!

Landon was still stunned but he nodded. He was sick of this place already.

Eve turned around as they walked outside with Landon following her. The security officers who were about to assault Landon watched him walk away with the high-status lady with a stupefied expression.

“Who is he? And why are they treating him like someone very important?”

“I’ve already said it he must be a wealthy heir.”

“I’m definitely going to video this.”

There was chatter among the people in the restaurant when one of them was about to take a video of Landon.

Smash!

His phone was instantly grabbed by one of the bodyguards in all-black suits and smashed to the ground.

“My phone!” The guy that was about to video what was going on the scene.

“No videos allowed!”

The bodyguards covered Landon and Eve as much as possible till they entered a luxurious black Rolls Royce in the convoy.

Before they all knew it, the bodyguards got into the car and then they watched as the luxurious cars drove away.

They were gone.

Everyone was still trying to comprehend what was going on with a lot of questions in their minds but no one here had the answers.

Xander and Tricia were still in a daze.

If they had not seen the current scene for themselves, they wouldn’t have believed it if they had been told!

Landon, the pauper everyone knows was picked up by cars like that…Even he could not afford those cars. Xander’s father can’t even afford all those cars. Xander felt like he wanted to die. This was the worst humiliation he had ever received in his life.

‘What…just happened?’

***

Before Landon knew it, he and Eve were already in the Crescent Resort! The Crescent Resort! The Crescent Resort for goodness sake!

The Cresent Resort was a known place by all. There are many exquisite hotels in the Dimvale city but Crescent Resort was the one that topped the list among all of them. In terms of luxury, the hotel is simply unbeatable! Their Spacious, well-appointed guest rooms and suites with high-end furnishings and decor. On-site restaurants and bars with gourmet cuisine and premium drinks. Full-service spas and fitness centers. The Crescent Resort is indeed a luxurious place.

What made this place's demand so high was that one could not just have access to their service because they were rich. The person has to be a member to be able to enjoy their services. But right now he was here in the Crescent resort with Eve, and from the looks of it, the services Eve had access to were very high.

Landon felt like he was going to die from shock. He had spent their entire ride admiring the Royce Rolls that rode them here now he had to take in all these luxury like it was normal?!

“Who are you?” Landon could not help but ask.

Eve smiled, her eyes filled with admiration. “My name is Eve Quinn, young master. I am nothing but a humble servant here to serve you.”

“Young master? How am I your master? Why do you keep calling me that and how did you know about my dream?” Landon asked, absolutely confused and curious for answers.

“When you mean dream do you mean your encounter with the crimson figure?”

“Yes. How do you know about that?”

Landon felt like almost everything was strange regarding this area of his memory that he had mistaken for a dream but he had woken up this morning totally healed with no bruises or injuries that he sustained yesterday…then here’s this rich woman in front of him calling him master. Everything was just getting confusing for him and it was going confusing at a very fast pace.

“Your encounter you had with crimson figure was not a dream and the King family noticed knew of this immediately because of your ring.”

“My ring?”

“Yes your ring. It actually a magical artifact the King family created for the descendants to detect the presence of our lord.”

Landon was so confused that he could barely understand what Eve was saying. How is his ring a magical artifact? It is the only thing that the nuns from his orphanage found on him when they found him.

“To be…honest I still don’t understand…” Landon replied with a bewildered look.

Eve smiled and stretched her hand holding an Apple tablet toward Landon.

Landon glanced at her and collected the tablet, he looked at the tablet screen only to see the painting of a black-haired man in barbarian clothing.

With confusion in his eyes, he opened his mouth:

“Who’s this?”

“That’s your ancestor, Marcus King. The first ruler of the King family and the first man to meet the Crimson figure…”

“My ancestor?…And the Crimson figure?” Landon said these words in absolute confusion.

“What is this Crimson figure?” Landon asked.

No matter how hard he has tried he could not come with an explanation for a figure that defied any sense of logic before his eyes. The figure had no mouth and nose but only eyes. There was nothing about it…except a crimson light taking the shape of a man.

The woman standing in front of him seems to know something about it.

However…her answer was not what he expected.

“We do not know…”

“Huh? What do you mean you don’t know?” Landon was dumbfounded.

He agreed to follow this lady hoping to get an explanation for this but her answer made him even more confused. If she does not know then why is he here?

As if sensing his confusion, Eve voiced out. “We don not know anything about this Crimson figure but we do know that this Crimson figure grants your family with endless wealth and insane powers..”

“Endless wealth and insane power?”

“Yes. Many centuries ago Marcus King, had come in contact with the Crimson figure. No one knows what it is…where it came from…or its intentions but it had given Marcus a deal of Endless power and wealth to conquer the entire world in exchange for a price.”

“Marcus, who was in so much need for power at that time agreed and he came above the top in the world. He had supernatural strength and super human abilities. Marcus was so strong and he was the only one that could communicate with this crimson figure but no matter how hard he tried to find out anything about the crimson figure, it never told him its name or anything about itself. The Crimson figure knew everything about Marcus King but Marcus king knew nothing about it.”

“Why?” Landon was curious.

He found it strange that this his ancestors of his was not able to know anything about this crimson figure that granted him power. Wasn’t he curious?

Understanding his curiousity Eve continued. “It’s not that Marcus King was not curious and the being did not want to tell him anything about it..but the being itself could not tell Marcus King its name because doing so would lead to his death. As it turns out the crimson figure had ended up showing him the facts. Whoever saw the crimson figure other than Marcus died instantly. The Crimson figure made Marcus knew that he was special in the sense that he could see it and communicating with it without dying. And when I mean communicating, Marcus King could hear the crimson’s figure’s voice.”

“Wait…” At this point, Landon spoke out. “I also heard this crimson figure’s voice..so-“

“You did what?!” Eve was so shocked that her full body was trembling at the moment.

“I heard his voice. It spoke to me.”

“W-wait you mean…the Crimson figure spoke to you in its voice? It’s actual voice?” Eve asked with an incredulous expression on her face.

Landon was puzzled at her reaction at the moment. “…Yeah. Why is it such a big deal?”

“This…This is a big deal young master because…if what you said is true then…you are the only person in the entire generation of the King family to have heard the crimson figure’s voice apart from Marcus King without dying…”
