Chapter [249] The Golden Brawler.
[A/N; This happens a few days before Edward"s defeat.]
*******
"He"s good, isn"t he?"
The woman in the vixen mask said as she took a sip of wine.
"Yes."
A large man, wearing the mask of a tiger replied as he watched the "Golden Brawler" decimate his opponents in the ring.
"It"s hard to believe he isn"t awakened..."
The man said, his predator-like eyes staring at the ring from his position above.
Edward was indeed exceptional as a fighter. And the shocking thing was he hadn"t fought ever before. The tiger had just heard that he wandered into the ring one day and dominated his opponents.
And he continued to do so as well.
"When will the solution be ready? Isn"t he good?"
The woman wearing the mask of a vixen asked. However, the tiger did not respond to her, His eyes kept gazing at Edward.
The vixen stayed quiet as she just simply waited and enjoyed the cup of wine.
She knew from prior experiences that it was best not to disturb the man when he was thinking.
"The anti-awakened are troublesome. What was the name again?"
Finally, the man opened his mouth and said.
"Pure, And what have they been up to?"
The woman answered, curious.
The organization Of anti awakened all across the world. Pure.
Although it was worldwide, it didn"t have a lot of influence in big cities which were dominated by immensely strong guilds, and the cities where the presence of the a.s.sociation was higher. The organization was mainly composed of people who could not awaken and had deep regrets and hatred embedded deep within their bones or of people who had suffered at the hands of some ill-minded awakened.
It was this very same organization that had attacked Alan in the middle of the night during the rain, although it did not end well.
"They messed with Behemoth."
"WHAT?!"
Upon hearing the man"s words, the woman dropped the gla.s.s in her hands and shouted.
"They messed with the second strongest guild in the world?! Even we are careful when it comes to Twilight! What did they even do?"
She asked, shocked.
How stupid it was of the organization to mess with Behemoth of all. It could have been any guild in the top 10 and yet they chose to mess with one of the top three, the second-strongest guild at that. Even they, with their hidden strength, did not dare to fully mess with Twilight. They had left the recent branch of Twilight in their city, their turf alone because they did not want Twilight to get serious.
They would be annihilated in hours if Twilight got serious and sent a part of its main strength here.
"Something that was serious, considering "he" was involved."
Said the man, his way of speaking leading the woman to enquire about the ident.i.ty of "he."
"He? Who?"
"Ezra Fornum."
And then silence engulfed the whole room. The vixen"s eyes widened in surprise.
The infamous CopyCat. The Talented one, the genius...Ezra Fornum. The man that beat Alan to a pulp.
Although Alan was restricted to a human form...the result would not have changed. Once Alan was caught in his Domain "Mirror World." It did not matter if he had transformed he would have lost. Ara.n.u.s would have changed the outcome, but considering that he could not release a large power due to some "complications". Ezra would have won no matter what.
"...how was the copycat involved?"
Ezra was famous, and he was feared by nearly everybody, not only had he absolutely crushed the talents of most guilds. His talent for Copying was extremely special. No guild wanted their core members to fight him in fear of their Combat Art being stolen.
" He destroyed three major bases of Pure."
...
"Apparently, they messed with someone he cared about. It was a sibling of his. A team of Pure had ambushed him when he was away. They stole his mana and turned him into a maniac."
"What?"
His words confused her...how did they turn him into a maniac and steal his Mana.
"They have developed a special drug, one that has the ability to restrict mana flow and cause severe implications in the body of an Awakened if administered in a large enough quant.i.ty"
"...isn"t that dangerous?"
"It is, thankfully they messed with Behemoth of all after becoming Overconfident. And now Ezra is enraged and destroying every base of Pure he could find."
The talk continued, and the shock on the woman"s face increased.
"...are we safe?"
Finally, she asked worriedly.
"Their operations" were something that needed to be kept hidden at all costs.
"Yes, For now."
The man answered, and a look of relief washed over her face.
"AND THE GOLDEN BRAWLER WINS!"
A loud voice announced the victory of the golden Brawler and The man observed Edward Keenly.
"A Fox demihuman...strange for someone like that to possess that much strength, He should be able to go against some low-ranked awakened by himself..."
There was a silent type of rage in his eyes...
"If only I had that talent..."
If only he did, maybe this could have been avoided.
"What should we do about the Twilight branch here? It"s not just them, but kids with great backgrounds have come as well... Henry Fornum, and Sabrina Wellington all are here, and Elaine Parker as well. Behemoth, The Wellingtons, and even the t.i.tan guild is here...will we really be ok?"
The woman asked as she stood up to stand beside the man.
"If we tread carefully, Do not even gaze at them. If something happens to them, we would have a wild and enraged Ezra, The patriarch of the Wellingtons, and Even King Midas himself would be after us, and they will raze this entire city to the ground if anything happens to the three of them."
The man said, his eyes displaying some fear as he mentioned the three "Monsters" above. A single one of them would be able to easily destroy what they had been working on for years.
"I know...but."
Hearing the women speak, the Tiger"s ears perked up.
"But?"
He inquired.
"I can make a deal with the princess of the Wellington Family..."
And the Tiger"s interest was piqued.
"How so?"
"The Wellington"s are the richest family, and their princess is here, All I need is for her to enter the Black Market to initiate a conversation, If she does, Who knows maybe I might be able to strike a deal with her..."
Explained the woman, WHo knows? Maybe Sabrina would enter the Black market for a reason and then that would give the Vixen a chance to socialize with the "Princess."
If that happened, it would benefit them immensely for the time they had left.
"Tread Carefully, Do not do anything that will garner the attention of The Patriarch of the Wellingtons."
The man warned her, but it was clear that he was not against it.
"Come on Darling~ You know me..."
The vixen said seductively.
"There"s no one who escaped my traps."
She gazed at the scene beneath her, Of Edward roaring triumphantly before she took the man"s clothes off little by little, going for a "particular" spot more often,
"All we need to do is keep Twilight busy...and then nothing will happen."
A tattoo of a white tiger was present on the man"s back, yet it seemed incomplete. Although it looked to be complete, the Tiger"s claws, teeth, and eyes all were complete and looked ferocious...yet it lacked "substance." It lacked Depth.
The woman bent down.
"The Reaper of Death troubles me...and Twilight"s Spatial MAge, The void Predator still hasn"t made an appearance aside from the initial break...Too many variables."
The man was still concerned.
"Don"t worry~ It will be complete soon...no?"
...Yes...
"Yes...It will be complete... And we will be complete...Our incomplete bloodlines will be completed and we will break further..."
The man monologues...his eyes expectant, and hopeful.
"Yesh..."
The woman responded, unable to speak well due to a certain activity.
"Soon...He will Descend...and fulfill our wishes."
