“Zephyr, you *sshat!” Jade screamed. She did not expect Zephyr to be this cunning, leaving immediately after he took advantage of her. She did not even get a chance to exact her revenge. She gritted her teeth, stared at Zephyr’s back, and yelled, “You better watch you back!” Her face was red, her hair a mess, even her blouse was undone. Jade felt so ashamed were anyone to see her like this.Later, Alfred was summoned to the room. “My Lady, the recipe for the balance pills are quite modest. Though, the process of making them is very unique and strange. Should we investigate the Khan further?” he asked. “No, whether the Khan does indeed have a secret medicine man or not is irrelevant. The Khan are different… follow the agreement we made with the Khan boy, I believe that this is just the beginning of a very profitable endeavor!” Jade replied. For some reason, Alfred could sense feelings of anger and resentment from his mistress whenever the “Khan boy” was brought up. “Maybe I’m over-read
Word of balance pills spread throughout Starlight like wildfire. Although it was about twice its price, its effects were way better than spirit pills. This was great news to fighters all around. The whole of Starlight rumbled with its arrival. Pills were crucially important to every fighter, especially those without clans. For one to quickly raise their strength, they would need pills. Although the price of balance pills were higher than spirit pills, its effects warranted its charge. They sold like hot cakes. Many pill merchants had been instantly hit with competitive pressure. Many clans had mercantile fronts for pills to boost their personal finances. Alas, the appearance of balance pills had shifted the Starlight economy immensely, this diverted almost all the consumers interest from spirit pills. Many would kill for the control over these precious pills.However, these dreams were crushed once they knew that the influence behind the balance pills was done by Skyfall. Skyfall was
“We are still investigating, but nothing has come up yet…” one of the leaders replied meekly. “My Lord, I have a report on Zephyr!” a Sun leader suddenly spoke up. “What news? Spit it!” Sylvester’s eyes brimmed with eagerness. “The Khan heir, Zephyr, meets with Skyfall every other day. Every time he leaves, he is always sent out earnestly…” he continued, revealing his news in detail. “Hmm, it would seem that that boy Zephyr has a dirty little secret!” Sylvester said coyly, his fists still clenched.…The lavender incense burned fragrantly. Although it was not the first time Zephyr had met with her, his heart raced every meeting. “Hmph, these are the ingredients you need!” Jade huffed, rolling her eyes at Zephyr. For some reason, she would always forget Zephyr’s age, for the energy he exuded was not that of a sixteen-year old. Especially since he had taken advantage of her, this deeply shamed her. “Heh heh, thank you thank you! I’ll take my leave then!” Zephyr chuckled as he took the
If it was anyone else, they might not have noticed this. But this was Zephyr, a powerful, up and coming fighter with senses that extended beyond the norm. No matter how well the others had hid themselves, none may hide for long. ‘He’s roughly 150 feet away from me… with friends all around,’ Zephyr’s heart raced with this thought. With such preparation on their end, Zephyr knew he was in for a long night. “Have you finally cracked, Sun?!” he demanded.With this, a barrage of movements closed in on Zephyr, and in the blink of an eye, about ten or so men surrounded him. Among them was a middle-aged man, with a striking aura. He had made no effort to hide his power. Some of them, Zephyr recognized from his first meeting with the Sun. Most of them were Strengths of level eight, the other two were level nine. ‘The Sun are powerful indeed, sending such strong fighters against me,’ Zephyr thought, excited at the prospect. He made an effort to remember their faces.“Zephyr, our lord invites y
“Who knew that the b*stard of Starlight city, was actually such a terrifying character!”“The Khan has many secrets!”Some of the men sighed. “He’s too powerful to be left alive! We must take him head-on, at our full power! Change of plans, he is to be taken in, dead!”If they were just toying with Zephyr earlier, they were serious now. Unfortunately, they underestimated Zephyr’s power which was far greater than they expected. If they had known, they would have run by now.Suddenly, a surge of sword-skill came. Before they knew it, the shimmer of a sword flashed before them, followed by Zephyr’s sudden appearance. “Fourth Slash!” he said quietly. Blade after blade appeared around them, powered by Zephyr’s Lightfoot. With a disgusting, loud crack, and a spray of fresh blood, two of the Sun fighters were cut limb from limb. “Die!” One of them yelled, angered by the death of their comrade. “Fifth Slash!” Zephyr cried, he vanished and reappeared out of thin air in front of the man. “
“Impossible!”The remaining fighters cried out in fear and disbelief. Their eyes were full of hateful remorse. Zephyr’s frightening powers were on par with an Agile’s. They expressed great remorse for crossing such a foe. With an adversary like Zephyr, the Sun assailants were now in a dangerous spot.Zephyr sent forth another array of swords, a charge which swallowed his attackers whole. When Zephyr was done, he took a deep sigh, and wiped the sweat off his brow. He was exhausted. He had never had such an intense fight before, one in which many skilled fighters ambushed him. Although he was extremely powerful, he could not be careless. After all, these men were at least Strengths of level eight. The only reason Zephyr could quickly finish these guys off — other than their bad defenses — was that they underestimated him. Had they not done so, Zephyr would have had a hard time. Even if he had won, he would no doubt have suffered a grave injury.Zephyr stood there as he slowly regained
“You’re right Zephyr, the Khan now do not have much power left, much less if put up against the Sun,” Typhoon sighed, reluctant to admit the fact. Beside him, Spout bore the same expression. “However…” Zephyr suddenly interjected, a smile crept onto his lips. “They do not know that I can make pills, besides, the balance pills can be used by the clansmen!” He continued, “As long as the Khan are allowed time to grow, we will have strong fighters for sure! By then, no matter how strong the Sun become, we would definitely match them!”Hearing this, Typhoon and Spout’s expressions changed, “You’re right!” They had only considered the power the Sun held, but not the power the Khan had. “For the clan to be strong, the clansmen must be stronger. I propose every capable man start training now, and they should put their all into it!” Zephyr exclaimed.“Training? Zephyr boy, are you suggesting that the Khan go through intense training?” Spout asked. “Indeed! How else would we get stronger? We
“Please do not be afraid. We are Khan from Starlight, we’re here to wipe out the bandits,” Zephyr said comfortingly. “You… you’re Khan from Starlight?” one of them asked, her tone carried traces of sobs. “That’s right, do you know anything that could help us defeat the Wolves?” Zephyr asked. “We were all captured this morning. In fact, this mountain is but an outpost, nothing more,” she replied. “About every hour, they would change shifts… Thank you, thank you so much for saving us! The bandits have taken our purity...they have violated us… please… please avenge us!” she continued, her voice full of hatred. She had attractive features, what a shame they were stolen by such hooligans.What Zephyr did not expect was her reaction to what had happened to her. She immediately cracked her skull on a nearby boulder after she finished her wish. Blood flowed vigorously out of her head, she had died from the impact. Zephyr clenched his fists tightly, she had acted too quickly, by the time Zephy
