章 12: Volume 2 Episode 6

Gerald was a prideful person. His many subordinates believed that he was the strongest in terms of his level.

Unfortunately, that day his heart was shaking with fear. He didn't dare believe what they were seeing. He couldn't.

"You've got to be kidding, right? Is he still human?" Both Richard and Gerald were flabbergasted by this crazy result. This son of a b*tch Lin Hamill seemed more powerful than ever! His performance had made both of their hearts tremble in fear.

Lin's body had come into full view. He had no injuries on his body. Not even one. It looked like their attacks didn't even lay a scratch on him. Although to an outsider it may look like that, the truth was that the ridiculously fast recovery rate had practically healed Lin during the time he was talking. As he looked at his enemies, a sinister smile crept up his face.

"Now.. are you both ready?" Lin asked indifferently as he looked at them.

Richard and Gerald looked at the speaker. The fact that there wasn't a single injury meant that there was absolutely no possibility for them to win this fight. Which meant that escape was the best option. As both of the men thought of various ways to get out of the escape, Lin made his move.

He opened his palms, which flowed with electrical currents and pointed at both of them, shooting countless yellow-colored electrical arrows out of his hands, showering them with a rain of arrows. These strings of sharp, concentrated, silk-like blades covered the entire sky as they enveloped Richard and Gerald. The projectiles were extremely fast. Both of them had ghastly expressions on their faces as they tried to evade the attacks.

As they were busy evading the fast approaching arrows, a golden glow rushed forward from his body through his arms, congealing to form a long whip. After successfully forming two long electrical whips on both his arms, Lin dashed towards the first target he chose, Gerald.

Gerald, who saw the fast approaching Lin, quickly tried to evade the attack, but an immense sense of danger suddenly flooded his mind, causing the speed at which his body moved drop by 50% and was hit by one of the electrical arrows, losing his footing in the process. Taking advantage of the distracted enemy, Lin quickly swung the Electrical whip. He went for a massive blow aimed at his left arm. Gerald felt his blood run cold, but he simply wasn't able to react to the attack right now.

"Please be merciful!" said Gerald.

However, it was too late. By the time he shouted out, Lin's whip had already swung down hard, and Gerald suddenly felt a scorching sensation well up in his mind, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

If he could, he would frantically tear up his whole body to get rid of this terrible pain.

However, he didn't have the ability to do so.

The whip collided with Gerald's left arm, slicing through the flesh and bone and cutting through it like it was butter.

"AHHHH!!" The screaming Gerald had lost his focus due to the shock that came from losing an arm. Lin then kicked Gerald in the face in the very next second, causing him to smash into a tree and his vision turned dark in a flash.

Richard, who was evading the arrows, saw the whole scene and felt terrified. He looked at the unconscious Gerald with his eyes narrowed, then shifted his gaze to Lin who was calm, with cold sweat pouring from his forehead. The astonishment he felt couldn't be expressed in words; but he didn't have much time to think about it, as Lin now moved towards him.

Richard quickly formed a strong gust of wind to lift him up high and tried to propel himself to fly. Lin, quickly figuring out his intentions, swung one of the whip which looped around Richard's leg, and pulled him down, causing him to hit the ground hard. Lin then swung his other whip as hard as he would, but Richard quickly evaded by rolling sideways and used air manipulation to pull him back up quickly. Lin saw this and quickly ran towards him and swung his whip once more. Richard evaded sideways and tried to attack, but Lin didn't stop and swung the whip down anyways, smashing the earth so hard and breaking the ground nearby, causing Richard to lose his footing.

"RICHARD!!" As Richard lost his balance and fell down, he saw the whip coming towards him at full speed, and although he used his wind powers to slow it down, it wasn't enough as the whip smashed him down to the ground and released the pent up electrical energy, causing a huge explosion.

When the dust settled, Richard was seen smashed into the ground, bloody and near dead. Lin, who stood by him, was without a scratch, and was calm as always. He looked at the almost dead Richard with cold eyes.

"I di-did what I ha-had to do." Richard, who couldn't even speak probably and was coughing up blood, spoke with difficulty.

Lin didn't answer. He waited for a minute, and then formed a ball of flames in his palms, and threw it on top of Richard, who screamed with pain. After a while, the screams stopped and silence returned.

Lin who looked at the burnt corpse in front of him and replied, "I don't care whether you did what you had to do or not, all that matters is that you crossed me. You broke my trust, and for that you must pay, whatever the reason may be."

He then moved to where Gerald was laying unconscious and carried him over to his apartment. Even though the basement had been destroyed, the first floor was still in good condition. The fire hadn't passed through.

As he carried Gerald over to another room, he tied him to the bed. He then waited for him to gain consciousness. Soon enough, he woke up confused and disgruntled, but figured out the situation quickly.

"I'm not telling you who I'm working for, you know," as he looked at the teenage monster Lin, Gerald calmly told him.

"I know."

"... What?" Surprised by the lack of enthusiasm from the child, Gerald thought that he had heard him wrong for a second. As he looked surprised, Lin grabbed the transfusion device and injected the needle into his vein. He looked at the confused face of Gerald and spoke:

"Two choices; Suffer through the most painful experience and die anyways or answer the question and I'll kill you in an instant. Your time starts…. "

He then turned on the device and injected the dual power procedure without the potions.

"... Now."

*******************************************

Few Hours Later.

Richard's House.

"Mom, are we really leaving?" A boy who looked to be fourteen asked his mom.

"Yes honey, dad told us to get to the top of the Holden Building where we'll be leaving in a helicopter." The mom smiled at the child and answered the question. She looked distraught. It appears she wasn't fully inclined to leave either.

"Now go ahead and pack up your things, sweetheart. We're going to be late if you don't. Don't you want to ride in the helicopter soon?"

"Yes, I'll be fast!"

The mother and the child packed their things and got ready to leave the country once and for all. She opened the door only to be greeted by a man in a black jacket smiling at them. She appeared to have frozen in her place. The man who seemed not to care about the terrified expression on the woman's face, calmly spoke:

" The young master sends his regards."
