"You have a problem with the Red Sharks right? I am just their business partner! I am not part of their gang! just their business partner! a complete stranger!" "Please let me go! I don't want to die? I'll give you anything you want. Just.. Just let me go please.." Darrin begged, with snot flaying about. In the face of his cowardice act, an amused smile couldn't help but grace Slugger's lips. "You don't want to die?" He questioned. "Yes please!" Darrin trembled, banging his head on the floor as he didn't dare maintain eye contact with Slugger. "Hm. Letting you go isn't that hard you see?" Slugger let out a distressed sigh. "However what's in for me if I do huh?" "I . I will pay you three million! just let me go!" Darrin begged. "Ohh. That's a lot" even Slugger was taken aback by the humongous sum that Darrin called out. At that moment, a crafty grin appeared on his lips, underneath the mask he wore. "Well, your offer is kind of tempting. I would've accepted it if you had j
"Half of his bones are broken.. you sure didn't hold back huh" Hard Stone removed this gaze from Seizen as he fixated them on Haruna. His gaze was sharp but at the same time emotionless. It was unknown what kind of emotions he was currently feeling at that moment. "He attacked first. I was just defending myself. I didn't come to pick up a fight. He was the one who started this by ambushing me" Haruna tried explaining in hopes of salvaging the situation. "Yes he did. Under my orders. Don't think you can escape here Haruna. This is the place where you die tonight" Dropping this cold since sentence, Hard Stone suddenly disappeared from sight. The speed at which he moved was so fast that Haruna couldn't even pick out a bur. Afraid that he would suddenly sneak attack her, she looked behind her cautiously. However nobody was there. "Captain!" just then, she heard a familiar voice shriek in horror. Looking over, her expression soon darkened. That was because, Hard Stone was currently
"Huh? Blood" Hard Stone was taken aback as he observed the red liquid escape from his fingers, dripping onto the ground. "Who's it? you don't have to act like a coward.." Hard Stone chuckled in amusement as he tossed Haruna away, already loosing interest in her. "I wasn't planning on doing so" just then a spatial crack appeared besides Hard Stone as a fist wrapped in beta force shot out, landing quick punch on his cheeks. Bam! The punch came so quick and unexpected that before Hard Stone could react to it, it had already struck him, cussing him to stagger back a bit. Whoosh! At that moment, a shadow blew past, materializing into Aiden as he squatted before Haruna. "She's still alive" he noticed that the other party was breathing, albeit faintly.. Picking her up bridal style, he casted*Monarch Departure* transforming into a shadow that blended with the darkness... "Yawn!" yawning lazily, Aiden stretched his limbs. After what happened the previous night, he felt extremely e
"She's awake" Haruna had just opened her eyes when she heard a voice from behind. "Are you okay!" she heard Kaine's voice as the latter stroked her cheeks worriedly. "Uhm.. am I in a hospital?" she asked weakly as she attempted to sit up. However the pain she suddenly felt on her back caused her to wince in pain. "You shouldn't be doing that right now" a young looking man wearing a doctor coat and spectacles chuckled as he stared at the machine screen before him. It was currently showing the skeletal visuals of Haruna. They were currently inside a laboratory and Haruna was lying on a white bed with Kaine seated in a stool besides her. "How did I end up like this?" she asked before suddenly realizing something. "Wait! I..my healing.. why aren't I healing?!" she cried in panic. "That's because you are currently suffering from radiation.." the young looking doctor replied, adjusting his glasses. "Radiation? from what Doctor Bruno? why aren't you telling me anything?" Kaine fro
"He's the newest addition?" Barry swept his arrogant eyes around Rin before snorting. "We didn't ask for drinks.. do you know the penalty of interfering in an important meeting such as this huh?" he barked. "Your ears or your eyes? which one is it huh?" "Sit down Barry. You are too impulsive.. Just so you know, I invited him here. He's a part of the meeting today" Bart finally spoke out before some friction arose. "You invited him over? this brat?" Barry stared at Rin, dumbfounded. "Indeed. Infact, I plan on having him take Average Joe's place" Bart revealed, shocking all the executives who were present. Take Average Joe's place? didn't that mean that this brat before them was going to become a Division Captain? Wouldn't that make them equals?! "C-Commander, have you thought about this? I mean the position of a Division Captain isn't something you just give out but it's something that Is earned through merits and strength.." one of those present said in a shaky tone. As for
"With that said and done, I think it's time I really go into details regarding the other reason why I had you all gathered here" clearing his throat, Bart took a sip from the glass of blood before snapping his fingers. At that moment, Elle walked into the room, holding onto a large brief case. Behind her were three other ladies carrying equally large briefcases as well. As soon as these ladies entered into the game room where the meeting was being held, many of the executives began to inhale deeply as they glared at the newcomers with blood red eyes filled with intense hunger. "Don't even have those thoughts" Bart growled in a low but dangerous tone as a blood curdling vibe unknowingly emitted out from his body, causing the executives around him to shiver slightly before their eyes went back to normal. "Thank you for your good work" Bart nodded towards Elle as she led the other three ladies out from the game room after they had dropped the brief cases. "Heh. Looks like you hav
"Yesterday night.. the streets of Lights End was filled with terror as two of the city's dangerous gangs clashed in what seemed to mark the start of a brutal gang war" "This morning, it was discovered that twenty buildings had been felled during their clash and more than fifty civilians suffered serious injuries with thirty found dead.." "Reports just came in that twenty more households were attacked by these hoodlums. The general public are currently in a state of panic and the number one question racing in their minds right now is.." "Where are the Sentries when they are currently urgently needed? I am.." Owling angrily turned off the television as he smashed the remote control against the wall, causing it to shatter into nothing but useless bits. "You know, taking your anger out on the innocent remote won't help in this kind of circumstances " Spencer chuckled as he sipped from the cup of coffee he was currently holding. The both of them were currently inside the study roo
"Why would you want to take a school leave? I mean this is an assignment that every student who has signed up for the Sentinel Program must participate in " Spark questioned. "I-I don't think I am in the right shape to face a Mercenary " Tasha sighed in embarrassment as she proceeded to explain how she had almost been kidnapped by a group of delinquents from the Red Sharks and how Aiden had saved her. Hearing her story, Rin scoffed audibly. "What do you expect. You nobles keep on flaunting your wealth but don't have the strength to protect them" Ignoring his comment, Spark patted Tasha on the shoulder as he proceeded to flash her a reassuring smile. "I get it that you are scared. I really do. In the path of cultivation, it is only natural that we'd run into such kind of things.." Taking a deep breath, Spark continued. "You know.. a wise Noble once said, in the path of cultivation, there are three essential things.. Resources, Relationship and Dedication.." "The ability to fac
