Chapter 97 Trouble on the Way

Pressing his feet into the two, remembering the movement of an anime character from his childhood, Vicente did not falter.

Facing two enemies in agony, he kept moving to weaken them, knowing that one right blow would not bring him victory. nw stries at n/vel/b/i/n(.)co

He moved some metallic objects around and changed their electronic configuration, using a spell based on his affinity for Lightning to create a powerful attack.

Blue lightning suddenly formed in the air, cutting its way erratically toward the two brothers.

"Damn it!"

"Shit!"

'What is that?' Jax wondered, feeling that he could not dodge the blow that had even made him tremble.

Unlike the metallic objects flying around him and colliding with his defenses, this attack was hard to deal with, even if he knew Vicente's powers!

But he didn't have much time to think when he and his brother were electrocuted until smoke came out of their bodies!

He and his brother stopped momentarily, screaming in pain, and the armor over their bodies cracked along with the scorched soil on the ground.

Both found themselves free of the pressure on their feet, but feeling Vicente's blow, neither took advantage of their "freedom" to attack the young man.

Vicente finally ran at them, using the mixture of martial arts he had brought from Earth and what he had learned at the Academy of Stars.

Sliding across the ground, he moved his body. He kicked Jax in the balls, taking advantage of this person's moment of distraction to hit his weakest point.

Jumping into the air immediately after, Vicente used one of the metals there to kick on before turning with his leg already spinning in the air toward Jax's younger brother's face.

Pow!

Vicente's right foot hit the level 1 Acolyte's face, causing his face to turn clockwise as blood spurted from his mouth, and one of his teeth flew out.

The Acolyte's eyes rolled back, and he was unconscious before he even hit the ground!

Back on the ground, Vicente took a deep breath, feeling sweat dripping down his cuts and face, visibly exhausted from using so many of his skills.

But he still had enough to land another blow on Jax, stapling the man's body to the ground with his metals as he kicked him hard in the chest.

Jax shuddered in pain as blood dripped not only from his facial orifices but also stained his clothing from the many cuts Vice had inflicted in this confrontation.

He was not yet unconscious, but the blue-haired young man's uncle, this young master who was watching this confrontation from behind a door, still had enough energy to glare hatefully at his enemy.

Unfortunately for him, one's magical form greatly determined a warrior's fighting ability.

As a Junior Apprentice, Vice could not defeat him. At best, this young Fuller could surprise Jax and make things difficult for him. But after becoming an Intermediate Apprentice with a magical form and talents superior to this man's, Vice was already stronger than him!

Embittered by this humiliating defeat, Jax waited for Vicente's final blow.

But when he saw the two brothers lying on the ground, Vicente wiped his sweat and stopped before Jax, looking the level 2 Acolyte in the eyes. "I didn't want to blackmail you today, but since you gave me the idea, we'll do it from now on. I want 20% of your profits starting next week. If I don't get my share on the right day, we'll have bigger problems than today, Jax." Vicente said before kicking this level 2 Acolyte in the face and walking away.

Some men around the property were shocked by what happened and looked from the corners of the building to where Jax and his brother were.

None of them dared to stand up to Vicente, remembering that days ago, this young man had coldly killed all of their group's Apprentices around his building.

Gulp!

'Damn it! With whom I get involved?' Brody fell on his ass, fearing the worst not only for his family but most of all for himself.

...

As Vicente returned to his house to meditate and enjoy his evening 'workout,' someone dressed all in black ran through the city's shadows.

Such a person, dressed in black and hooded, used the shadows to his advantage and quickly made his way to a building not far from the center of Millfall.

Arriving at this location and passing through the area's traps, this man found no trouble on his way and soon found himself in a doorway of this building where some men were standing.

"We have trouble." He said, attracting the interest of three of the four men standing there, looking in different directions.

"What is it? Has your target made any strange movements?" One of the three looking at this man asked, while the fourth continued to watch toward the street.

"Not exactly. But people from the Scarlet Syndicate just visited the headquarters of that mercenary group." The man dressed in black said.

"Oh?"

"Do you think they made a deal with the Scarlet Syndicate?"

"If they did, they would become the enemies of everyone else in the city. The damned Scarlet Syndicate is already in a very delicate position with the rest of the city."

"Hmm, after acquiring the legacy of the Enchanted Creed, no one will allow them to make a new breakthrough!"

The newly arrived man then answered the previous question. "I am not sure. But the men from the Scarlet Syndicate seemed grumpy about leaving the estate. Perhaps there is no agreement between them yet."

"If that's the case, keep watching them." The fourth man there finally opened his mouth. "If they get into a disagreement with the Scarlet Syndicate, it will be better for us.

Otherwise, let the underworld deal with this problem. Defiant Tyranny will definitely move even if we do nothing now."

"OK!"

...

While this group was thinking about the troubled future of Vicente and his people, another man in black was deciding something important in front of the Fuller family estate.

After listening to the report of the observer he had been sent to replace, the newly arrived man frowned in front of the estate where Rory was training. "If this is true, we have to act." He said to the person who was about to leave.

"Since you are at the end of your shift, go to one of our battalions and gather some men. We will attack this place immediately. Since they have received contact from the Scarlet Syndicate, there is no need for them to continue to exist!" This person said, following his leader's orders.

"I will do it immediately!"
