“What do you mean the potential to become a pillar? That doesn’t make sense, pillars are powerful beings, they are selected by the President himself as they also serve as the guardians of this world and its continents.” Vincent argued.“Technically, yes.” Jonathan answered.“And with their strength and powers, they are given a city or a land that would become their own realm or territory. They also have a certain power that allowed them to be on their current position. So, it’s not possible for me to—”“You doubt yourself too much, Vincent. Besides, you do not need to have that power anymore. Becoming a pillar does not mean that you have to be the most powerful, as it is sometimes acquired through merit.”“But—”“Anyway! Let us proceed in this training. You have got to finish this before your mission begins.”Despite his curiousness, Vincent just nods as he has no choice here. Him becoming strong before his mission is much more important that what he is about to ask. Jonathan then beg
The revered Mr. Arthur Phoenix, the richest man that is outside of a noble household. He is widely known as the Demon Lord when it comes to business and has a lot of influence and connections. And one of those connections is apparently the President of the world. That is a direct connection, not some puny ones. With that reveal, the whole room was rendered silent. They dared not to speak. But the person who is most stunned by this is Jessica, his fiancé,“Vincent, what are you talking about?” Violet asked as she stood up.“You heard me. Arthur Phoenix is the mastermind of the operations of the gambling center and may be behind some of the most notorious crimes in the world. This is not a speculation or a hunch, it’s the truth.” Vincent then proceeded to tell them how he came up with this conclusion.Him in the vents, overhearing, sensing, and determining, he is confident of his reveal,“Vincent, you know quite well who Mr. Phoenix is. He is a respected and revered man who even donates
The heroes now have the upper hand. Villains after villains are being captured and some are being slain. This is a battleground, and this is like a war, death is inevitable, and there’s plenty of that today.“Take this!” Angela shouted as she then corralled a group of villains into her elastic arms and then spun them like tops.Each division commander was swiping the villains off the ground, the heroes were unbeatable. Meanwhile, in Vincent and Jessica’s side, it was now a one-sided show. Vincent who struggled earlier now has Agatha by the throat. The poor evil woman kept on running and running cowardly,“Please let me go! Please! Have mercy!” Agatha begged.Her eyes were still bloodshot red, and it pisses Vincent off every time he hears this kind of thing from a criminal,“How many have you killed?” Vincent asked as he slowly approaches Agatha.He then mixed his earth and fire powers to create gauntlets that has the same effect as when lava flows through the cracks of rocks. That was
With Vincent being in serious mode and is shirtless, people all over the globe were mesmerized by his fighting and a lot of girls were fallin’ in love with him. Those six-packs and even with those scars, to them, Four-Eyed Miles is a hot fellow. Another thing that glued the people into watching this battle is the fact that Vincent has shown to the world for the very first time, his earth powers in which he kept hidden in honing and training. But now, even the ones who lived their whole lives using the power of earth was astonished by the swift movements of the young commander. He is using his earth powers very well right now, and it’s proving difficult to Agatha to move carelessly as of the moment. When Agatha was about to impale Vincent who was midair, the hero just willed the rocks into his command and hurled it towards Agatha, who managed to avoid, but not without a scratch on her left chin.“Not bad! No wonder you’re already promoted to commander. But let me please remind you, you
“Angela, I want you to cover the west side area! Jessica and I will handle these two!” Vincent ordered.“You’re not the ones who makes the orders. And if you just forgotten, I am the one who has the higher—”“We’re both Division Commanders! Jessica is the one in charge here as she is a Vice-Captain! Anyway, Jessica, your call?” Vincent looked at Jessica as he then fended off a sudden rock barrage from Agatha.“Vincent’s right. We need to divide our forces! We may be able to defeat these two with the three of us, but let’s take into account that other areas need help, you are most qualified! Listen to Vincent’s—” before she could even finish, Yuji turned himself into lightning tiger and blasted bolts at them.Since Jessica’s element power is not useful against lightning and it is now about to hit her, Angela then stood in front of her and lightning struck him,“Angela!” Jessica screamed.Vincent looked and was distracted. Agatha used that opportunity and pounced at Vincent. She pinned
At the inside of the Gambling center, it is where the majority of the chaos ensues. Heroes and villains fought one another. Flames are everywhere, mainly it’s cause by Vincent’s attacks, but there are also explosives around the building and the villains are throwing grenades at every hero. Angela who was fending off a dozen criminals have managed to subdue them with his elastic powers. It was not easy for him; this is the first time he has ever been in a battle this big. In any case, bodies were everywhere. They were from both sides. Some injured heroes are being brought out of the facility in order to be tended, but some were unfortunate. Angela looked to his left to see that Vincent is fighting this woman with red glowing eyes and bulging veins,“Vince—” Angela called for his brother, but then Jessica landed in front of her.Jessica groaned and she was bleeding,“Jessica! Are you alright?” Angela tended to her.“Watch out!” Jessica wailed.Angela was just about to turn around when s
With the arrival of backup, all hopes don’t seem to be lost for now. Vincent and Jessica along with the other heroes who were fighting the criminals first were relieved. But that relief was shifted into distress immediately. Yuji and Agatha didn’t care. They still launched an attack on the two heroes. From behind the Amazonians, a person flew and landed in front of the army. It was Angela,“Take care of the other ones and capture them alive and limbs attached as much as possible.” Angela instructed.“Roger that,” says the blonde commander of the Amazonians.And with that, the Amazonians raved and flooded the entire Gambling Center. It was loud. Both the screams of the battle and the sirens around the district. People were being evacuated and some of the Division members of the Amazonian Tigers were on the streets, comprehending the criminals that are leaking out of the Center. Angela, to him, this is the first time he is seeing a battle this scale. It was uncontrollable, and many bodi
They haven’t even defeated the first batch, 2 more enemies that has the number of a whole platoon surged towards them.“Argh!” they yelled as they waved their swords and pointed their guns at the heroes.“I think this side with the newcomers you take the other, okay?” Vincent instructed.“Don’t try and boss me around, not when you—”“Now!”Vincent drew his sword and rushed towards the left wing. Jessica sighed in rage. She has never felt this annoyed before. Wait. She is now confused.“I’m supposed to be angry, but why am I feeling most of it as annoyance?” she questioned herself but there was no time to answer it as her enemies are approaching her fast.With sway of her bawled fists, water erupted around her, and it swept away the enemies and practically drowned them. She then raised them and made the enemies burst through the ceiling and head toward the other floor. Meanwhile, Vincent was fighting his enemies with ease and like a demon. One of the enemies that was bald swung his bat
Vincey? Well, that’s new. Normally, Vincent is used being called as Freddie, Fred, Four-Eyes, Loser, or anything else that his siblings or the others have called him. But now, Vincey, that’s new. However, the new name didn’t bother him as much as the real question. Does Vincent love Jessica? What the hell would he reply to that question. Yes, he had this kind of crush on her, but love? He didn’t know what to answer. Even though both of them are drunk, she was waiting for an answer. The question didn’t come out of a drunken state, it was meant. Vincent can feel that she is flustered not because of the alcohol, but about the question. The fact that they are now in a middle of a mission, a deadly one at that, he really doesn’t know what to respond. “So, about this meeting. What do you think would happen?” Vincent asked.The rush of disappointment surged through her body. She looked down on her bottle and started to play with it.“Don’t know. We weren’t invited even when you said that o
The fact that Vincent has felt the same heartbeat that Arthur Phoenix, has. No. It really was Arthur Phoenix, there is no doubt about that. The heartbeat, the way it beats, and the way it resonates with Arthur’s own personality. It’s him. Vincent suddenly felt a tugging-like sensation in his stomach. It may him anxious. Even with the mask and all the disguise, the heart never lies. Everyone stood up to applaud the one at the balcony, but Vincent just stood there, dumbfounded. After all the applause, Arthur raised his hand, and everyone went silent.“Good evening, my dear guests!” Arthur greeted. “I know that this event was out of the blue, but I just want all my guests to enjoy this evening staying in my gambling center. So, enjoy your drinks and night! Enjoy your stay also! Cheers!”As he raised his glass, everyone followed. Vincent noticed that when Arthur was speaking, it seems that he is using something to alter his voice. Of course, he’d do that, he is an important figure in the
