"Meet?" Were they really here to meet him?
Deep in his heart, Garen had already understood everything . After the battle with the Blood Breed Wellington, both Hochman and Dahm's powers had reached extremely powerful levels . That battle resulted in qualitative changes that upgraded the seeds within their bodies . Furthermore, their natures would not allow them to resign themselves to being controlled by the Holy Fist Palace for an eternity .
Loud gunshots could be heard outside the car but Garen remained in his seat quietly . He did not move and waited silently for the noises outside to cease .
After a short while, the gunshots stopped before they were replaced by the sound of someone yanking a heavy object out of the ground and smas.h.i.+ng it against the floor .
All of Hochman and Dahm's planted agents within the convoy were taken care of completely . Not a single one remained .
The sound of car doors opening and closing again could be heard from the back quickly .
The deputy got into the car again and spoke respectfully .
"Commander, all of the people in the third car have been taken care of properly . "
"Continue on our journey, quickly," said Garen casually .
Engine noises could be heard throughout the convoy again as they began to move forward .
Seconds and minutes ticked by and the drivers switched twice . Finally, they reached a part of the road that was much better maintained . There were even simple fences on the border . Meanwhile, advertis.e.m.e.nt boards on the roadside pa.s.sed them slowly .
Soon, many cars drove towards them from the opposite directions . Most of these cars were cross-country jeeps . More pa.s.sersby appeared on the side of the road as well .
"We're going to reach Ansett soon," said the female driver softly .
Garen nodded and opened his eyes . He suddenly noticed that the road in front of them was getting wider .
"Get ready to stop the convoy . "
"Yes," the female driver did not object at all . She used her communication device to contact the vehicles behind her before slowing the car down gradually .
Moments later, two separate convoys of cars stopped beside the road in front of them from afar . Those two convoys seemed to separate the people on both sides . From afar, they could hear the sound of the engines roaring while people got down from the cars on the left and right sides respectively .
The ones leading the way were Hochman and Dahm . One of them was extremely muscular and dressed in a black s.h.i.+rt and trousers while the other one had a slender body and was wearing a tight-fitting bright red leather jacket . Both of them looked strange .
Hochman and Dahm watched the convoy approach them from afar before lowering their heads slowly as a sign of respect .
A faint smile appeared on Garen's face while he remained inside the car .
The car stopped within less than five meters in front of the two men slowly while driving close to the side of the road .
Garen opened the car door and got down before his eyes scanned across the duo in front of him .
"You arrived really quickly," he said casually .
"Since our Master was in trouble, our natural response as disciples was to rush over and help at the first moment . This was the right thing to do," answered Hochman quietly . "We've already made the necessary arrangements . We will go to the airport in front immediately and take a personal jet that will fly directly to New York . Master, please get in the car . "
"Everything has been arranged accordingly over at the Holy Fist Palace as well . You don't have to worry, Master . " Dahm stood on the sidelines and spoke respectfully in a voice that was neither feminine nor masculine .
"You're truly my beloved disciples, huh…" Garen smiled happily before taking large strides towards the luxurious and exquisite sedan that had been prepared behind the two men .
Behind him, Hochman and Dahm clenched their fists simultaneously before a strange atmosphere began to permeate around them slowly . The power that they were concealing gathered in one place like the silence before the storm .
Both of them glanced at Garen's unprepared back from the corners of their eyes unconsciously .
Garen's face seemed abnormally defeated and this was the first time they had seen him in such a tight fix . Although they did not know the reason behind this, it was still a once in a lifetime opportunity…
Faint blood red auras and light burned throughout Dahm's body . He clenched his right hand gently and released it before the blood red nail polish on his five fingers turned brighter .
Clap!
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his right shoulder .
Dahm was shocked and turned his head around to look before realizing that it was only Hochman . The other man was shaking his head at him faintly .
Clap!
The sound of a car door being opened could be heard from the front .
Neither of them dared to make any more moves . Instead, they dispersed quickly and followed behind closely .
"I just received the news that all of my men have died . It happened last night on the way back," Hochman whispered in Dahm's ear quietly while the latter felt his heart sink slightly .
Both of them glanced silently at Garen who was now sitting inside the car . Although Garen was not looking in their direction, they could feel a strange gaze that was directed towards them from Garen's body .
"Go! Return to the headquarters!"
Hochman spoke quietly .
Dahm took a deep breath . After being tortured previously, his whole body had become skinnier, and a fearful shadow flashed in his eyes while he followed Hochman closely .
*************************
Half a month later…
Wellington Manor
"What?! Those three people have left!" inside the dark hall, a frail voice could be heard suddenly . The voice sounded extremely shocked .
Before him was a half-kneeling figure clad in a black cloak .
"Four days ago, two of the elders left Kaska . We don't know of their whereabouts as they did not leave any messages . However, we have intensified the search . Elder Tu Lan wanted to let you contact them personally . "
The figure spoke quietly .
"That guy…" the frail voice became softer . "Get up first and then speak, Pigus . "
"Thank you, Elder," the man in the black cloak rose respectfully . "Great Elder, your subordinates want to deliver something that they found in the surroundings of the family's secret pa.s.sages . Once we appraised it, we realized that there is a seventy percent chance that this object is an important item that belongs to the Holy Fist Palace . "
"Oh?" the Great Elder sat upright in his seat while a strange expression appeared on his face . "Bring it here . "
"Yes . " The man in the black cloak removed a little box with a pitch-black cover . No one knew what was inside .
He held it with both hands respectfully before walking towards the Great Elder's seat and pa.s.sing it to him .
"This is?" the Great Elder outstretched his hand and received the item before opening the box at once .
But there was nothing inside!
Bang!!!
The man in the black cloak pressed both of his palms together in the shape of a sharp claw before striking at the Great Elder's chest suddenly .
Hahahaha!!
A tearing noise could be heard from the man in the black cloak as if a powerful invisible Qi had torn him into many pieces .
Pigus' ferocious guffawing face was exposed underneath the cloak .
"Great Elder, Master Dahm from the Holy Fist Palace sends his regards!"
Boom!!!
The Great Elder smashed one of his fist's against Pigus' body before sending him flying violently .
Pigus was sent flying and crashed into the wall painfully . A large depression formed there before he bounced off and rolled on the floor . He rolled more than ten times consecutively and his entire chest had been stabbed through .
However, the low rumble of his laughter continued to echo throughout the hall continuously .
"You… You…!" the Great Elder's chest had sunk inwards . Although he was an Upper-level Blood Breed, he was unable to defend himself from a Middle-level Blood Breed's powerful punch, which could pierce through his chest . The injuries that he had suffered could not be ignored at all .
The thing that shocked him even more was that the injured areas were becoming unbearably itchy . It felt as if numerous little insects were constantly biting his wounds and crawling into the deeper parts .
He glared at Pigus below him with a mixture of fear and rage . This was the core of the Wellington family that only the Elders could enter . Furthermore, its insulation effects were also extremely strong . Pigus had always been one of his most trusted confidants and one of the most elite leaders within the Middle-level Blood Breeds .
On the ground, Pigus crawled upwards with much difficulty . However, his nimble movements allowed him to leap backward quickly before closing the distance between them in a flash .
"Great Elder, the glory of the Wellington family has pa.s.sed . There's an ancient Asian saying that goes 'A wise man submits to circ.u.mstances' . As long as you're willing to submit and pledge your allegiance, Master Dahm from the Holy Fist Palace will not treat you unkindly at all . Instead, he will definitely place you in a higher position!"
A deceitful and ruthless look appeared on his face .
"You… Why did you have to betray me…" the Great Elder could feel that the itchiness from his chest was spreading throughout his whole body . His body's self-healing abilities were completely useless now . He had never been a fighter, and although he possessed the physical qualities of an Upper-level Blood Breed, he could not release his fighting abilities at all . Therefore, in reality, his power was only sufficient to suppress Middle-level Blood Breeds .
"We can only learn the ways of the supreme Fist Techniques by submitting ourselves and pledging our allegiance to the Holy Fist Palace . This is true power! As part of the secret party, didn't we only gather to pursue power?"
This Middle-level Blood Breed named Pigus was already being controlled by the Waterbird Fist Primer that Dahm had pa.s.sed on to him .
After the Wellington battle, Dahm and Hochman began attempting to pa.s.s on the Waterbird Fist by using their auras to set up primers as measures to control the Blood Breeds .
These measures could truly create powerful functions that could control the life and death of a Blood Breed . However, the most important aspect was that it was still being completely supplied by Garen .
Generations of Blood Breeds could always be suppressed by the blood in their bloodlines . The Upper levels would control the Lower levels, making the latter completely unable to resist due to the difference between their powers . However, Garen's research regarding the soul and flesh had greatly surpa.s.sed this world . He was finally able to solve this issue after some probing .
Using the experience that he had gained from dissecting creatures in the Totem world, Garen successfully implanted his soul primer into the blood of a Blood Breed before fusing it completely as one body . He was able to achieve his goal of properly suppressing the instincts of this blood .
Although Garen was unable to return for half a month, he was finally able to find a way to control the Blood Breeds' Secret Techniques . He could quietly control Middle and Lower-level Blood Breeds now, and once he obtained the poison that old man AG was refining, the scene before him would occur again .
****************
Simultaneously, within the barren hills of South America
"Dead Waterbird Fist!"
A red shadow flashed past quickly and drew a blood red line in the air before falling on a large white stone gently .
This place was actually a narrow valley .
Within the valley, a figure in white clothes was sent flying horizontally in an extremely embarra.s.sing manner . The figure crashed against one of the stone walls in the valley with a 'bang' before falling into a pile of rubble and sand .
After he was struck, the clothes of the figure in white were stained with a grey layer . He crawled upwards with much difficulty while faint scars could be seen all over his hands and body .
This was a pale but handsome man who had a head of beautiful blue hair that was currently dripping with sweat and sticking to his forehead . Despite his scars, his beautiful face could still be seen .
He turned his head around determinedly and looked at the red figure that was standing behind him on a large rock . His eyes were filled with panic and fear .
"I've always hated those who are more beautiful than me…" a voice that was neither masculine nor feminine echoed from the large rock .
Bang!!
A horrific gash was opened suddenly on the left side of the man in white's neck . Bright red blood sputtered outwards and fell on the ground . Strangely enough, the blood attempted to move backward and flow in the direction of the man in white, as if it was a living creature . However, it was immediately intercepted by a black shadow, causing it to lose its activated abilities at once . It condensed and solidified before turning into normal blood .
Although the man in white had just suffered serious injuries, his neck was still able to heal quickly in a strange manner . The wound shrunk quickly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye .
"You…!!" an expression that displayed his fear of death appeared in his eyes, exposing his thirst and desire for his life .
"Don't… Don't kill me… Don't!!" He begged loudly before his entire body slumped to the ground lifelessly . He was not out of strength; he had merely lost every bit of resistance in his heart .
