“Who knew the trump card of the Sun had such an impactful terror. Their wealth is immeasurable, much more so than ours!” Spout said with a smile. After a few days' work, the Khan had looted everything they could from the Sun. Spout sat on the Khan throne, and smiled brightly at his subjects. “Indeed! After our little insurrection, our clan had risen far beyond what was once thought possible!” a leader said. “Now, we have both Skyfall and the mayor having our backs, who’d dare try anything against us?” another chipped in. The Khan leaders cheered and celebrated their success. “Hey, now that we have the Sun’s techniques at our disposal, no doubt the Khan will improve further!” a leader checked. “Right! The Sun also had a lot of weaponry!” another added. It would seem the Khan were very pleased with their spoils.“Even though we are now the greatest power in Starlight, there are still some that dare to oppose us!” a leader suddenly said sternly. This leader was Motte Khan, a loyal Khan l
Although Lewis had followed Zephyr for a while, he still felt pressured. He quickly added, “Never fret My lord, I will double my efforts!” Zephyr nodded, “Let’s go for a walk!”“Busy!” Zephyr said, as he saw the busy streets of Starlight. Before, Zephyr had never tasted such peace and freedom, seeing the carefree nature of the children brought a smile to his face. Lewis however felt uneasy around Zephyr, wondering what he had gone through to constantly exude rippling energy. Suddenly, Lewis’ face lit up, “My lord! Look! It’s Leah, and next to her, Linus!” Zephyr quickly turned to see.Among the many citizens, was a plainly dressed girl, and a stoic young man, chatting away in front of a boutique. Leah’s face was full of excitement and happiness, she pointed and picked among the stock while the young man kept a gentle watch, nodding occasionally. “Nice!” Zephyr nodded, satisfied at what he saw. He and Lewis approached them thereafter.“I think my master likes black clothes,” Leah fro
“Do you like Leah?” Zephyr asked once more, feeling dissatisfied at Linus. His power was but a thread of his Might, one unmatched by most. “Yes! Yes I like Leah! I love Leah! I want to protect her for the rest of her days!” Linus answered through gritted teeth, as he tried to withstand the pressure on him, physically and mentally. Zephyr let go.Linus shook for a bit, before he dropped to his knees. “That’s right!” Zephyr nodded, before he patted Leah on the head. Linus was trustworthy, under intense force like that, no one could lie. Leah can be left with him, Zephyr was relieved. “Have fun guys! Let us go, Lewis!” Zephyr turned as Linus heaved on the ground. It was at this moment that Linus finally realized why his father thought so highly of Zephyr Khan. “Are you alright?” Leah asked, seeing Linus drenched in sweat. “I’m fine, Leah. Master Zephyr sure is strong!” he replied, while he wiped his brow.…“My lord, where are we going?” Lewis asked, foot in tow with Zephyr. “I’m just
Not far from them was a group of angry hecklers that surrounded Leah and Linus. An angry voice called out from a woman, “What? Are you just gonna leave like that? Do you know how valuable these clothes are? Can you compensate? Here you are trying to bargain your way out of it, this is laughable!” The woman was probably twenty-five years old, with attractive features, elegant posture, and expensive clothing, this signified that she was no commoner. Behind her, a troop of 7 escorted her. Their expressions were grim, with humorous undertones, they were not taking Leah and Linus seriously.“This is outrageous My lady! Knocking into each other under such crowded circumstances is natural, besides, we’re not the ones at fault here!” said Linus, he put himself between Leah and the rest. “Wow! Do you really think I purposefully knocked into this b*tch for fun?” The woman’s expression was furious. “You b*tch, don’t think I don’t know who you are. You’re the little handmaiden of the Khan aren’t
“The Khan people are so bold! They would dare argue with me over this b*tch! She must beg before me today! Do you really think that just because you’ve defeated the Sun, you’d have no challengers? Pathetic!” Opal jeered. The Zane guard roared, and charged towards Zephyr. This man’s power was no meager thing. However, Zephyr just waved his hand, and it sent the man flying. Although he was a Strength of level eight, how did he not endure such a blow that came from Zephyr Khan?The Zane guard crashed into the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and struggled to breathe. “What?! Impossible!” Many people in the crowd gasped at Zephyr’s nonchalant defense. No one could believe that the Khan B*stard Zephyr could have so easily defeated a Strength of level eight. ‘Is he really just a B*stard?’ Many people in the crowd had this thought. Was this the b*stard that everyone had just clamour over?“Woah!” gasped Linus. Although he knew Zephyr was strong, he did not know by how much. “*sshole!”
The man’s expression immediately switched upon Zephyr’s reply, it had turned into an icy cold glare. “I am Noah Leed, the second heir to the Leeds of Celadon. You people of Khan may be the biggest in Starlight, but to us, you are just but the dirt beneath our feet!” Noah said. “I can forgive your barbarisms, but you must apologize to Opal, and order that b*tch to beg!” Everyone’s look changed at the realization of Noah’s background, and looked upon him in fearful respect.“The Leeds of Celadon are a powerhouse, far bigger than any clan in Starlight!”“Indeed! Zephyr really got himself into deep sh*t this time!”“What will Zephyr do?!”“What can he do? Apologize! Who would dare offend them over a measly servant woman?”“Agreed, but Zephyr’s different! The Khan would soon grow far more powerful!”The crowd around them debated. A sense of pride and satisfaction snuck onto Noah’s face upon hearing their chatter. “What do you think? Are you really going to make an enemy of the Leeds?”
Seeing Noah attack, Leah’s expression had changed. “Linus, protect Leah!” Zephyr ordered. “I’m on it!” Linus quickly nodded, while he promised the Khan. “Kneel!” Noah’s talon-like hands tore through the air as it created a tearing sound. “You don’t have the right!” Zephyr chuckled, and met it with his fist. Zephyr did not regard Noah Leed too highly, he knew he could take on Agiles without much issue, much less a Strength of level nine. “Away with you!” Zephyr threw a punch that barreled towards Noah’s talons.Their blows clashed, and it sent shockwaves everywhere. The might of their bout forced the onlookers back, some even spitted blood. Their battle was fierce. Zephyr and Noah had stopped as suddenly as they started, each of their bodies glided against the ground, away from each other. Noah stared at Zephyr apprehensively, it would seem that the boy was not all he looked to be. This made him envious. He had wasted much of the Leed’s resources in his training. It was only through pe
“What?!” Linus gasped. Agiles could crush any Strengths easily. Even though the technique Noah used was enough to match an Agile’s, its power was indescribable. “Run!” Linus shouted to Zephyr. “Destruction Hand? Ha!” Zephyr laughed, and stood his ground. Noah was indeed strong, unfortunately, he had no right to boast.A flash of blade swept pass, no one could tell when and where Zephyr drew his blade, but it appeared in his hand suddenly. “Sixth Slash!’ Zephyr’s sword wobbled with energy, then it shot forth towards Noah. The blade vibrated with energy, its afterimages mimicked ten thousand swords. The blade pierced the palm, and blasted it with energy. With a loud bang, it pierced the palm’s defenses, piercing and shredding it. “What! How?!” Noah’s expression was wild, jumping from disbelief to fear. His technique was one feared by Agiles after all.Although Zephyr was young, he was weaker than him by a level, how could he have destroyed his Hand? Noah stood still, still in shock. Ho
