"Oh? you came back so quick? did you manage to.." Gregory's voice trailed off when he saw Aiden enter into the bar with an expressionless face. "I caught up with her. Infact we might be having a new team member pretty soon" Aiden replied as his eyes finally roamed over to Rin. Smirking, he slowly approached him. "Why didn't you run?" he sneered. "Uhm.. I apologize for what happened earlier today. I was kind of nervous and thought you were going to call the LEA on me" Rin lied through his teeth.Aiden nodded slowly before glancing around the bar. Thanks to the scuffle they had with Purple Rose, the whole place was currently in a mess. Aiden figured the LEA Enforcers would begin storming the place anytime soon. "I have a lot of things to discuss with you. However this isn't the right place " Aiden said slowly.... "Hm?" Raya had just snuck into Aiden's bedroom and was about to solidify her misty form when she suddenly noticed there was a foreign party in the room. "Huh?" Mari
"Are you really not going to give me the bite?" Gregory whined for the upteenth time as the lightning wings behind him flapped, causing him to remain airborne as he streaked through the air. Besides him was Aiden who also had a pair of lightning wings flapping furiously from behind him. "No" Aiden replied flatly as they flew past a street light which was barely luminating the dark street they had just flew past. Above them, the night skies was still young with tiny glittering stars hanging above. "C'mon stop being stingy. If I become a Red One, then that means my combat strength will increase, thus increasing our chances of survival when we go against the Red Sharks" Gregory stated in a convincing manner. "We're partners after all" he further added. "You are strong just the way you are. Just your arcane mastery alone is capable of giving many people headache " Aiden replied bluntly. "Not to mention being a Red One isn't something glorious or amazing as you think it is. Trust
Dong! Dong! Dong! The once rowdy hall of the Battle Rambo instantly became quiet, in the wake of the loud beating of the gong. The once dimly lit atmosphere became engulfed in darkness. Pudong. Pudong. Pudong. The loud drumming of hearts was the only thing that could be heard in the darkness. However strangely enough, these rapidly drumming hearts wasn't happening due to fear, but an infectious kind of excitement and anticipation. "Helllooo everybody!!!!" Just then, a loud voice boomed, followed by the release of a spotlight that shone on a rapidly descending flat surface. Standing atop the floating board was a middle aged man clad in black trench coat while wearing a pair of skeletal hand gloves. His whole face was ridden with thick tattoos, giving him an hideous facial appearance. However when the attendees witnessed his entrance, they exploded into a loud fit of applause. If not for the fact that the Battle Rambo building was surrounded by a noise silencing Runic matrix, th
"Nice one brat. It would seem you are not as weak as I had thought you were. However, that would only make things more interesting" although Metal Buster tried appearing unfazed, he was inwardly stunned. That was because when he had punched Aiden, if felt like his fist didn't collide against flesh but a thick wall of steel, causing his knuckles to hurt a bit. "Tch" Aiden merely clicked his tongue at the other party's boastful exterior. "Accept mine then" lightly tapping his feet on the ground, Aiden dashed forward like a phantom. Before Metal Buster could react to his speed, Aiden right fist had already appeared a little inches away from his chin. Bang! A body flew back like a missle as Metal Buster crashed roughly against the edge of the combat ring, cutting a sorry figure The whole crowd went silent. Metal Buster was an infamous name in the Battle Rambo House. Although he wasn't their top fighter, he was a powerful champion who was known for crushing the skulls of his oppon
"And that's Blood Kid thirty seventh kill!! he's a total demon!" Mr. Tattoo face screamed with much fevor as Aiden ripped off the head of his latest opponent, which just happened to be a female. Currently, Aiden was a stark difference to the Aiden from two hours ago. His hair was now completely blood red, stained with the blood of his fallen opponents, the same went for his eyes and arms. Although many couldn't see it, his eyes had now taken a shade of demonic pitch black, like a deep void. Once the crowd saw the headless corpse fall to the ground, they burst into loud cheers. For the past one hour and half, Aiden had been in over thirty seven fights. And in all these fights, he had always ended up being the victor while brutally killing all his opponents. Thanks to his winning streak and brutal killing method, he instantly became a fan favorite of the crowd. Apart from the savage way he fought, many of them had ended up striking gold thanks to the winning bets they had, all t
Clang! Clang! Bang! Aiden's feet skidded across the surface of the battle ring before coming to an abrupt stop as soon as he reached the edge. Bringing his fist up, he noticed thin lines atop the surface of the *Rock Gauntlet* he wore. "You're powerful" he confessed grimly as he eyed Kubo cautiously. It had been more than ten minutes since their battle began. And of all the battles he had participated in for the night, this had to be the longest. Although they had exchanged more than a hundred blows, Aiden was shocked to notice that he was gradually being on the defensive side while Kubo was slowly taking the advantage! Whirl! Whirl! Ignoring his statement, Kubo spun his blade around, sending out three arcs of saber will streaking towards his direction.. Two were aimed at his chest while the last one was streaking towards his left leg. The attack's precision were flawless! "Tch" clicking his tongue, Aiden stomped his foot heavily on the ground, causing the three sharp ear
"You b*tch! who the hell do you think you are to call Division Captain Barry weak huh?! if not for the fact that he appreciates your talent, do you believe I wouldn't rip off your head right here and now huh?! you better watch yourself!" Seizen warned sternly as he slowly made his way over "You can't do that. Because you are even much more weaker than he is" Oge bluntly replied. "You!!" veins exploded on Seizen forehead as an Hex pattern was on the verge of liting up when he suddenly felt a strong grip on his shoulder. "It's fine. It would seem you are quite confident in your strength. Which isn't a bad thing. However over confidence is a hazard that will get you killed early " Although it sounded like Barry was giving Oge a calm lecture, Aiden was able to tell that underneath that calm tone was a surpressed anger that was on the verge of exploding out. "Alright. You both should stay back " Oge warned Aiden and Gregory as her saber seemed to have come to life, springing out
"I can't believe we are back here again" Derulo sighed as he alighted from the limo, while staring at the building before him. Beside him was a plaque that read.. *Inner Mountain Guild* Stepping down from the vehicle after him were the rest of Team Fifteen, as well as Spark. "Why do you say so?" Aiden asked. "Because this was the place we lost Tasha. Maybe if you were not enjoying your suspension last week, you'd at least understand" Lara retorted coldly. "Calm down. It wasn't Aiden's fault" Spark patted Lara on the shoulder. "I was surprised to hear that you guys would be returning back here. I figured it might reopen old injuries " Sterling's voice rang as he approached the group, engaging in a handshake with Spark. "We are just doing our best to keep the country safe just like you all. What is the problem?" "I'll feed you in when we get inside " . . Vroom.. Vroom.. Two trucks pulled over before a large crater like ditch in the middle of an arid landscape.
