Bab 52: Amusing Arrogance

Currently, Seth was sitting in an AI-driven jeep and staring at the fast passing scenery through the windows, this was his second time in a car with an AI and he had to say he was beginning to fall in love with them.

AIs were quite an exclusive product in Moroc city, but with his current wealth, getting one would be quite easy for him, but after meeting the sobbing Alexia at the apartment, she informed him that she had already gotten them such a jeep through her connections.

The car was built like a jeep so that it could easily move across rough terrain, but the inside was luxuriously built for comfort, well luxurious if compared to the likes of the truck he had abandoned near Longsam canyon.

The inside of the car was built like that of a luxurious coach, with two long seats facing each other, a blue light liting up its inside, and a window on each side.

Seth looked at Alexia who was sitting opposite him and holding two qi stones in her hand while she cultivated.

Until further notice, qi stones were useless to him, and Seth already had plans of getting far better ones for both him and Alexia, an easy task for him given his current level of strength.

While Seth had been on the edge of defeat when he fought mama Slowly, it still didn't change the fact that he had grievously injured a rank 8 beast. With Raiju's lightning, his speed and ability to deliver damage had increased tremendously, and he now had confidence in being able to battle a 1st stage Kaiser.

"Darling where are we going," Alexia asked with a yawn and stretch of her arms.

Hearing Alexia's voice, Seth turned and looked at this woman who had left all she had just to follow him to an unknown destination, his heart twinged a little though when he thought about Rose not following him.

"Well she could always find me", Seth thought,

"Hmm I haven't made up my mind yet, but don't worry the answer is on its way" Seth replied.

"Riiiinng', Alexia's phone rang and she picked up an incoming call, while Seth relaxed into the soft comfortable seat and took a swing of his now ever-present orange juice.

Three minutes later, Alexi ended her call and spoke to him,

"They just found the governor's body in your room, and well given your absence from the city, they've labeled you a prime suspect and also suspect that you've kidnapped me, it's only a matter of time before a warrant for you is put out throughout all the cities in the federation, "Alexia said.

"Okay" was Seth's simple reply.

Alexia seeing that Seth wasn't going to say anything more, continued her cultivation, her heart filled with worry for both her and most especially Seth.

If it was before, Seth would have kept the governor's dead body in his apartment just to rile up the city and get himself an entertaining fight, but with his current power, fighting the city would just be a slaughter.

Alexia had wanted to dispose of the body to at least buy them some more time before they were declared murderers, but Seth had told her to leave him lying there in the open in his own apartment.

Seth's motive for leaving the governor in the open was quite simple, he wanted Alexia to have a leeway in case there was some mishap, she could always say he killed the governor and kidnapped her, and given her and the governor's well know relationship, coupled with the state of his apartment, Alexia's story would be very believable.

Pulling Rose out of the city and after him was also another added bonus of leaving the governor's body in his apartment.

They had been moving in silence for 10 minutes when out of nowhere they found themselves surrounded by dozens of military trucks and jeeps driving in sync with them.

These cars had most likely been driving under a cloaking device because it was until they appeared that the car's AI picked up on their presence and began sending a warning signal.

Alexia ended her cultivation, a look of fear and anxiety on her face, but when she looked at Seth, she found him spotting an annoyed expression.

Before she knew it, Seth suddenly ordered the AI to stop the car, she looked at him questioningly but he replied to her with a smile and then said,

"Don't' worry I already knew about them long ago, I just didn't want to disturb your cultivation".

Seth had already known about them long ago but had decided to be passive this time and let them make the first move yet they had taken so long, with a command, the car door opened, and he got out and turned to look at the anxious Alexia,

"Do you want to come?" he asked with an outstretched hand, and without missing a beat, Alexia took his hand and came out of the car, then with her clinging onto his left hand and leaning into him, they walked towards one of the cars parked at the back.

They looked just like a couple out on a stroll, with the only difference being that they were in a dry deserted region and surrounded by men dressed in black with their qi all spiked up and tense, ready to be attacked by Seth at any time.

With Alexia in hand, Seth walked towards a particular man who was standing all alone in front of a jeep, smoking as he watched them approach him.

Seth had expected to be stopped some distance away, but nothing of that sort happened, he could feel the tension in the air increase as he got closer, but the man showed no interest in their approaching figures as he kept on smoking and then began watching the sky.

"How arrogant," Seth thought.

He walked up until he was just outside the man's personal space and then he stopped and decided to watch this amusing man, he was almost more arrogant than him.

"Do you want a drag?" the man said all of a sudden as he offered Seth his cig.

"Thank you for the kind offer but I don't smoke" Seth truthfully said.

"Hmm, that's quite the pretty thing you have over there, you shouldn't have brought her out here, don't you know it's dangerous," the man said as he took back his cig and kept on smoking it.

"Thanks for the advice but I like to keep my treasures close to me," Seth said.

The man nodded his head in reply to Seth's words, but after that, he just kept on smoking.

"Are you guys by any chance here because of my massacre of Hammer gang?" Seth asked when he saw that the man wasn't going to say anything more.

With a grin, the man replied "yes and you successfully pissed off quite a lot of people".

"Oh that's good," Seth said while nodding his head, with a smile on his face.

"ha, ha, ha " the man chuckled "are you planning on killing all of us, do you think we're the hammer gang," the man asked and then a second later a powerful aura poured out of him, sending the car and everything including the ground 5 meters around him flying away, well everything except Seth and Alexia.

"Not yet, I just want to ask if your organization has any isolated Kaiser level cultivator they would like to be killed, I am offering to help you kill them for free".
