Duke"s camera wasn"t just a video recording device, it also acted as a detection device. It followed the sounds and saw that they came from the bombasted area which Will had just destroyed. A lot of dust and smoke were there, but within a few seconds, a silhouette gradually appeared. When Duke gradually saw who it was, he instantly lost the strength in his legs. If he didn"t know who that was, then his t.i.tle as an information broker was in vain.The others all gradually saw who was approaching, and when they did, an instinctual fear crawled up their spines into their brains. They all had different reactions. Some of the weak-willed ones such as gabby and Francisco fell straight to the "ground."
The more grounded of the group shivered in fear. While the stronger ones, Alexa in particular, only gulped. Her toned-down reaction wasn"t just because she was braver than the others, but because she knew that this man was coming. Which gave her time to prepare.
Her orders were clear, if Will showed more potential, she should do everything in her power to escape in case that man became hostile. Will had just shown monstrous potential, so he was now a huge a.s.set to the empire.
"But then again…its him."
As "he" got closer and closer, the first to feel his presence was Ibrahim. It was as if a tsunami of death had smashed into him from nowhere, causing the ever handsome man to fall on his backside. Still handsome of course.
"E-Ezra The Mad One!"
Ezra was walking in Ibrahim"s direction, and with each step, Ibrahim felt closer and closer to the afterlife. It was as if he could see thousands of wraiths gathered around Ezra, wailing in agony, trying to curse him in futility.
Ibrahim almost lost all bodily control and was a step away from urinating himself. That"s how much of a threat "he" was. As Ezra walked past Ibrahim, the latter wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but his lungs felt as if they were filled with lead while his mouth became as dry as the deserts from his home.
It was clear from his trajectory that the man was headed for Will, who walked toward him as well with a frown on his face. As far as everyone was concerned, Ezra was death incarnate himself. What on earth did the world"s most powerful nutcase want with Solitary?
Only Letty had a rough idea of what was happening, as Will had told her of his "master plan" to take down the empire. Nevertheless, she couldn"t help but wonder.
"If Ezra is one of the men master mentioned, then his plan is crazier than I thought."
When Will and Ezra got within a couple of steps of each other, they both sized each other up with great curiosity. Will spoke first with his arms crossed.
"You look older than I thought you would.
Ezra grinned and replied.
"You look like a baby. What"s up with that?"
"Yeah, there is a story for that, anyway, glad to finally get to meet you bro."
"Likewise bro."
The duo grinned like little boys and hugged each other. Everyone watching this was shocked. Ezra knew Solitary? And they were close? What ridiculousness is this?
There were plenty of arguments as to who was the most powerful user on earth, but there was no doubt as to who was the most feared. And it was Ezra.
The reason for this was pretty simple. There is no one who had killed as many humans as the man. Yes, humans, not demon beasts.
The man was a verified nutcase. Before the system came, he was in a mental asylum, recovering from a serious case mood swings. Rumor had it that he was bipolar. His mood changed at the drop of a hat.
Ezra was Chinese according to birth, and it was also thanks to him that China was untouched by the rest of the world. China had the Earth"s greatest population before the system arrived, with over 1.5 billion citizens. And it had one of the longest histories in terms of cultivation, hence it stands to reason that China should have the largest amount of powerful users. But that was not the case. In fact, China"s current population was less than 100 million, and it was largely due to the man standing in front of Will.
A large civil war, the likes of which the world had never seen, happened a year and a half ago in china. There were two sides in the war. One side was a coalition of the most powerful cultivator families in china, while the other side consisted of Ezra alone…and Ezra completely destroyed his enemy. One man against millions of humans, and he triumphed without breaking a sweat.
The story shook the world. Had Genesis not come in and defeated Ezra, its possible that even more people could have died. After defeating him, Genesis managed to have Ezra join his sect, and peace once again returned to China, but the damage had already been done.

Rumours state that blood ran like rivers and millions of innocent lives had been lost due to the conflict. But no one outside the ones who took part truly understood what happened. One thing was for sure. Ezra was a monster in human form. Some experts even stipulated that had Ezra not been tired from his previous battles, Genesis might not have been able to subdue him. Either way, it did not matter, because the bridge has already been crossed.
Ezra, and what remained of china and its elite cultivator families joined the Samsara Sect, while Ezra became one of its Four Cardinal Protectors, with the t.i.tle, Tiger of the East.
Imagine if multiple people gained abilities all over the world, many countries would collapse within months. But thanks to the presence of the cultivator families who quickly took control, atrocities like the one in china did not happen elsewhere in the world, nevertheless, worldwide, during the first year of the system"s existence, the world lost at least a billion lives, not to mention the civil war that would happen in china later.
Now, a man, who was the very personification of death was shaking Will"s hand like they were long lost brothers. Just what was happening?
