I had received the report from one of Dexter"s agents about the situation of person I had saved, Ellis. I had Dexter then as soon as possible keep a tail on him as I went to where he was.

It seemed like he was heading to the Rainbow Waterfalls to suicide.

From here to the Rainbow Waterfall should roughly take 25 minutes of walking. I am just too lazy to walk there. I thought of how to get there without using much effort as I yawned.

Suddenly I remembered how first saw Albert. I smiled as I sneaked off to t.i.tus" storage room.

I grabbed a travelling board from his storage room.

He shouldn"t mind me using it as it"s for emergency use. No, in fact, he will appreciate if I use it instead of wasting my time walking. I justified my reasons as I carried the board out of the house.

Now I have roughly 25 seconds before that muscle head gets notified that I took his board. I should close as much distance between me and Ellis in that time frame before t.i.tus arrives to take the board back from me, and I am forced to walk.

In order to do that I will have to set the speed to highest possible. I turned the dial which showed high in the board, as I slowly set the board down and got on top of it.

I leaned my foot on the switch under my left foot as the board took off in what seemed to be 70 mph. Steering the thing was easy for me as you just turned the ball under your right foot in the direction you wanted to go.

I might be one of the only person able to perfectly control this travelling board on its first try in this world, due to using more complex travelling board than this.

I reached the gate leading to outside the capital. They tried to stop the person who was travelling so fast to the gate on a travelling board.

But as I got closer and they were able to see me they moved away to let me go, knowing it was the 3rd prince.

I followed the path leading to the waterfalls when suddenly a 2-meter-tall wall made of muscle got in front of me. I slowed down to a stop seeing t.i.tus with his smug grin.

My eyebrows twitched. He is 2 seconds earlier than what I had calculated. Darn, now I have to walk those extra distance covered in 2 seconds.

Seeing his smug grin turn into questioning glare I replied "What? It was getting dusty in your storage, so I decided to shake its dust off while trying it out."

He took the board from me as I held it to him.

"I was really expecting you to be lying on the floor with broken bones, after crashing into something. I was even thinking how to explain to Dexter of your accident if you had crashed into something at that speed. How are you so good at using the Whizz board?" He asked as he walked beside me with the board to the Rainbow waterfalls.

I shrugged my shoulders in reply.

"Seriously just tell me how you do it? It took me 2 days to learn how to use it, and I took nearly a week of practising before I could travel with it at high speed as you did."


"Did you forget I am a genius and natural at everything I do?" I replied back.

"Yeah, I did forget." He sighed as he looked at the board in disappointment. He probably was wishing to be as talented as me in using that travelling board.

We walked in silence for 2 minutes before he asked me "How important is that guy in your future plans?"

"Not much," I said

"Huh, then why are you trying to stop him from suicide?" He asked me as confusion was written on his face.

"Because I need a new loyal bodyguard now my previous ones are gone."

"That still doesn"t explain why you even saved him in the first place, as you had your "Rotten Rat" then?" t.i.tus asked as he tried to understand where I was going with this.

"No, it doesn"t," I said as I nodded my head.

"I saved him because he has a really rare quality found among people."

"What rare quality? Almost everyone keeping eyes on you checked out his history. He has a low talent and an average capacity. He would have never got close to ranking up if not for you feeding him with your foo..." Suddenly he stopped talking as he realised I purposely increased his acc.u.mulation.

"What is the quality you found in him that you were willing to save him, increase his acc.u.mulation and that none of us noticed?" t.i.tus asked as he stopped me.

My smile grew larger as I said "He has one of the most important qualities needed to be a hero, that everyone single one of us has read in stories. A strong resolve that not even a giant can move. Once he decides to do something then nothing can stop him. And I want that hero for myself." I said as I did a grabbing motion.

t.i.tus grew confused "All this build-up for someone with high willpower? What so special about that? If you see our agents training then you will understand how high their willpower and resolve is."

I shook my head as I said "Yes but all of those people are taken by you guys or the emperor. He is a jewel that I found, unclaimed by anyone, which I can mould and mount anywhere I want."

"It is still useless." t.i.tus said as he to shook his head.

"His talent is c.r.a.p. There is a limit to how much he could acc.u.mulate with your cooking."

"Neither brains nor brawns on its on gives absolute power. When both brain and brawn meets, you will get an unstoppable force. He is the brawns and I will be the brains. Besides I will come up with something."

"Well do whatever you want but be warned everyone will be aware of both of you, especially Pablo and Adam. They will try everything to make sure that he doesn"t grow into a threat for their son and daughter."

"I know. Pablo is on Jacks faction am I right?" I asked

"Yes, and Adam being a merchant should have been neutral. But since both families agreed for a marriage alliance between those two kids, he is now considered to be in Jack"s faction as well." Answered t.i.tus

"Finally, we are as a faction, are starting our first fight against another faction, in the compet.i.tion. Hahaha" I laughed as we slowly neared the waterfalls.

"I seriously hope you got some plans for what you are about to do. Messing with Jack and Steven is the last thing you should ever do."

"We are here." I said as I saw Ellis standing at the edge of the cliff. A little push was all he needed to go down.

"Catch him if he goes down." I said as I went closer to him.

"Ellis!" I shouted his name. Hearing no response, I shouted again.

"Ellis!" This is strange. Suddenly t.i.tus stopped me as he walked forward and stood in front of Ellis.

He started shaking Ellis, shouting his name but he didn"t seem to wake up. As he was about to slap him I stopped him. It was then I saw that Ellis was standing there with his eyes closed.

"He seems to be in deep thought or in a trance of some kind. Let"s just wait." I said as I walked towards a tree and climbed it and sat on its branch.

Grunting something t.i.tus followed me and sat on another branch.

After 15 minutes t.i.tus got annoyed with waiting. "I am so bored of waiting. You better cook for me today, for all this extra effort you put me through."

I smiled as I said "Ok"

After waiting for half an hour, we saw the first response from Ellis as he moved away from the cliff. Seeing this I clapped my hands after being made to endure to long boring show of him deciding whether he was going to live or die, along with trying to get his attention.
