Brent Revolving Restaurant, private room no. 10000.
After returning back to his room, Levis sat on the bed and lowered his head.
He softly took out a necklace from his s.h.i.+rt. On it was engraved a word: "William."
"Brother…" Looking at the engraving on the necklace, Levis softly caressed it. His action was very gentle and soft, and his eyes had already lost focus…
26 years ago.
That year, Levis was nine and his brother William was seven.
On Earth, a small village on the Seberien ice fields that was isolated from the rest of the world.
This was the training camp of the largest a.s.sa.s.sin organization on Earth!
Nine-year-old Levis had already started displaying his talents in the training camp. His ability to control his muscles had already started to show its prowess!
For normal people, nine was the age when they would be attending the second year in elementary school. But for Levis, he could already lift a 70-kilogram object and even kill eight wolfs on the ice fields with his bare hands! Nine years old! And he had already achieved such a feat. Amongst those of his age, it was enough for him to be proud of himself.
But his brother was just a normal person who needed his protection every time.
"Heh, useless kid, look at your brother, then look at yourself again. Can"t you be so useless? And need someone to protect you every time?"
"Look at that William, he isn"t capable of doing anything. He is just rotting away there and waiting to die. Humph, he will sooner or later get killed by a wolf."
"Isn"t that so. I reckon all of the essences have been absorbed by his brother and only left behind this useless little brother. Even now, he will be afraid of looking at a wolf, he"s such a disgrace."
Every day, there would be discussions and talks like these.
William was very hardworking, but compared to his brother who could control his muscles, the gap between them was really too big.
"William, don"t give up, I believe you can do it!" Every night, Levis would hold William in his arms and console him. "If I can do it, you can too! Press on, as long as we survive through this period, I will definitely find a work to get you out of here! I swear!"
"Yup, I know, my brother is the most impressive!" Little William shrunk into Levis"s arms with a body full of wounds and softly said, "These small wounds are nothing, I will definitely press on! I will definitely not give up!"
"That"s my good brother!"
18 years ago, Levis was 17 and William was 15.
On the ice fields of Seberien, the cruelest fight for survival started.
118 young a.s.sa.s.sins. Unlike the legendary two fought and one survived, their method was much crueler and brutal.
All of these 118 people went into the ice fields. There was no time limit, but only the last three surviving people could live on.
118 to 3.
In less than a month"s time, there were only 34 people left.
The second month, 11 were left.
In the third month, only six were left.
At this time, Levis and his brother faced off against the combined attacks of the remaining four people.
It was an extremely horrifying and tragic matter, and both parties used whatever methods and tactics in their a.r.s.enal.
The final result was that Levis survived, but his brother William fell…
"Brother! Brother, wake up!" Levis hugged his brother"s body, shouting furiously, "We promised to get out of here together! We promised to survive together! How can you… You must persevere! You must definitely persevere!"
"Cough cough, brother, I… I can"t make it…" William"s body got colder and colder. He looked at Levis and suddenly smiled, mumbling, "Sorry, brother, I can"t accompany you anymore… I… I am free now… You must… help me live my part… and live on too…"
15-year-old William died.
That battle, out of 118 people, only Levis survived.
"Brother, look, I found a small piece of metal. I am going to engrave my name on it! In that way, you can always carry it with you!
"Brother, I found another small piece of metal. I engraved your name on it and am wearing it!
"Brother, it hurts, I almost got bitten to death by a wolf today…"
Six years ago, Levis was 29.
He wiped out the a.s.sa.s.sin organization that trained him and his brother and became a freelance a.s.sa.s.sin, then became the leader of the Four Kings.
Nickname, Tyrant!
Softly caressing the small piece of metal that his brother gave him, Levis took in a deep breath and muttered, "Brother, I met someone who is similar to you, he"s a little brother too…"
"Same as you, he"s happy every day. Actually, he holds a lot of things in his heart, I know.
"But, those ain"t important, right?
"His name is Hong Dali, and he likes people to call him Young Master. I like to call him Young Master too. He is very protective of his friends, this is a really good trait…
"I want to protect him too… I am very willing to protect him…
"When we were on Earth, I was already strong enough to protect him. But in the Universe, I am still very weak…
"Last time, I lost you. I don"t want the same thing to happen twice."
Speaking up to this point, he carefully placed the small piece of metal back inside his s.h.i.+rt, then put on the new cape he obtained.
Grand League.Levis!
His eyes were filled with resolution.
"From now on, I won"t lose anymore!"
Outside Levis" room.
Lucifer, Li Yang, and the rest gathered around the center of the living hall, discussing something.
Lucifer lighted a cigarette first, then turned left and right. Lowering his voice, he said, "I believe everyone saw what happened today. On this Silver-blue super-planet, the rules aren"t like on Earth, the suppression between different levels are very severe, and there"s a lot of powerful people. Today, Dali actually fought personally. He wasn"t like this in the past."
"That"s right." Li Yang hugged his arms, thought for a while, then said, "According to our current circ.u.mstances, we are unable to handle those major crisis here yet. Even with Brother Levis" power, he didn"t even last a single move from that Wu Qing, that"s really scary."
Tang Muxin softly sighed and said, "Sigh, Dali only wanted to be a happy prodigal. But who could expect that things would turn out like this? This is really…"
"Miss Xinxin." Ling Xiaoyi smiled and hugged Tang Muxin"s arm, then said, "Let"s work harder and help to relieve some of the stress on Young Master"s shoulders. That"s all we need to do, right? Actually, thinking carefully about this, it"s better than the events that happened today. At least, we were still able to settle the crisis this time. If not, if this happens next time, will we be able to settle it then? Wouldn"t that be even worse?"
It must be said that Ling Xiaoyi"s words made sense.
Today"s events could still be considered manageable, and the consequences weren"t too severe. But if the events today didn"t happen and alert them, and something happened next time that they couldn"t handle, wouldn"t it be too late for regrets?
"We are lackeys." Li Yang looked at others and said in a deep voice, "If we, as lackeys, can"t help out the Young Master, then what kind of lackeys are we?"
Lucifer gradually said, "Therefore, our main objective now is to work hard to increase our power."
"I believe all of us understand why the Young Master bought the armors and gemstones today. That"s because he wants to raise our attributes to strengthen us. After all, this place isn"t Earth, combat might is still very important here."
"In times of peace, we have to consider the danger." Being a big sister figure in the team, Li Nianwei looked at the others and gently said, "For the Young Master, let"s all work hard to strengthen ourselves. Let"s start with the Tower of Trials!"
Everyone shared a look and held out their hands together and tightly grasping them together. "Okay! For the Young Master! Do our best!"
At the Sauron Auction Center.
"Brother Ye Feng, how"re your preparations going?" Fatty Vidi Sauron patted Ye Feng"s shoulder and said, "This time"s Tower of Trials is probably a compet.i.tion prepared by the Galaxy Aristocrats to groom talented warriors.
"It"s truly a top-level trial.
"This time, the Galaxy Aristocrats have given out word that those who pa.s.s level 20 will directly become red-level Honorary Aristocrats. Pa.s.s level 22, orange-level. Pa.s.s level 24, yellow-level. Pa.s.s level 26, green-level. Pa.s.s level 28, blue-level. And for those who pa.s.s level 30, purple-level!
"Apart from being able to become an Honorary Aristocrat, there are also numerous pieces of equipment! Treasures! Any item that can be obtained after level 20 will be worth at least a million Galaxy Dollars!
"They will also be able to receive the grooming of the Galaxy Aristocrats and enjoy all kinds of special resources and treatments!
"Therefore." Fatty"s eyes were practically s.h.i.+ning gold. "Do your best!"
"Yup, I know." Ye Feng gradually nodded and said, "I will do my best, don"t worry."
On the other side, at an average-sized villa.
"Little Yanzi, how are your preparations?" The holographic projection of an old man was projected on the floor. Seeing Gu Yan working hard in his preparations, he said, "You have to do your best for The Tower of Trials this time, there is a lot of benefits. As long as you can get past level 20, the benefits it will bring for your future are extremely huge."
"Yup, don"t worry." Gu Yan took in a deep breath and said, "I am ready."
"Good! Then, get ready to enter!"
Galaxy Aristocrat, Jiang Family Villa.
"Qianxue, how"re the preparations?" Jiang Duxing bit onto a cigarette and looked at Jiang Qianxue, who was making preparations. "According to the news from on top, the Tower of Trials this time is actually specially designed to choose the most talented people to work for the Galaxy Aristocrats. There are more than 3,000 main cities in the Milky Way Alliance, and each main city has one Tower of Trials. Numerous talented people will be competing under completely fair conditions. All those who are able to get past level 25 will all definitely be super talents.
"At the start, all of their attributes will be at 100. All of them will be able to prepare a weapon to be scanned and bring along with them inside the Tower of Trials!
"They will also be able to use whatever unique skills they possess in the real world! Including superpowers! Including all kinds of unique abilities! Including all kinds of martial arts they learned!
"I wonder if anyone will be able to get past level 25. I hope there will be such a talented person in our Shenluo City."
