Chapter 127 Evolution Stone
"Fine, you win. You get to keep 70 percent of the items but I don't agree to you selecting the loot first."
"On one hand, I acknowledge your strength, you are without a doubt one of the strongest opponent I've encountered within out set. But even then, it's not nearly enough for me give in to you. Moreover, you might have been the first to get here, it would entirely useless if you couldn't at least open the vault. If we chose to fight, there's no saying who would come out victorious but the entire loot would end up being destroyed by the aftermath of out battle regardless of who won."
Keira then paused, her eyes locked in on Erian's eyes with her heavy chest lifting up and down as she breathe, she continued. "I won't make things difficult for you. I get to chose one item first from the vault and then you can select your 70 percent as you want. This is my buttom line, if you still refuse to accept this, then we have no choice but to battle."
Her stern voice echoed through the quiet tension of room. But it did nothing to get rid of the tense atmosphere and even seem to increase it by a notch.
Erian's facial expression was stern, also staring back at keira without backing down.
It was as though he wanted gl see through her and rid her thoughts to know what she was thinking. It was obvious she didn't want to compromise at all just now, but she suddenly changed her mind like a switch.
And with this new condition, it means there is something within the vault that she desperately wants and wouldn't back down for.
At first, Erian was only slightly curious, but the moment keira compromised, he couldn't help but be even more curious. The item must be important to her and with her clear stance, she was even willing to destroy everything by transforming if Erian didn't agree. From the things within the vault, apart from the Super-genes, Ores, the bank notes and the serum, the others were only mortal grade ornaments.
Things that are basically useless for titans to use. He didn't understand why keira wanted to pick first.
Numerous thoughts flew rapidly through Erian's mind and but then, he came to and smiled. "Fine, you can take first from the vault."
Keira's cold facr seem to melt a little as she nodded, walking past Erian. With a little bang, she kicked the corpse of the chubby man aside. It flew backwards like a man sized doll, it's skull instantly exploded as it slammed into the wall.
For her to dk this, Keira's strength was definitely above normal and was really astonishing. With the support of her family, ko one knows how many strength serum she would have ingested, increasing her strength to an astonishing amount.
She stopped the moments she arrived at the pile of ornaments that contained gold, diamond and other precious stones. Her body moved slightly in a way that instantly blocked Erian's sight. He wasn't able to see what she was reaching for.
This made Erian's eyes narrow and he let out a light scoof within his mind but strangely, he didn't do anything to pry and only waited with his hands in his black pant's pocket.
After a few seconds, Keira walked out, holding what seem to be a diamond in her hand, before Erian, she placed the piece of diamond within a peculiar dark box and closed it, placing it in her backpack.
Erian's heart skipped a beat as the system showed the information if the shine to him and his breathing seem to have gone violent, but he managed to control it, glancing toward Keira with a casual expression.
A slight smile appeared in Keira's face the moment she noticed the slight change in Erian's breathing pattern, but it was as though she hadn't noticed anything.
"It's your turn, chose your 70 percent and leave the rest to me."
Erian took back his gaze and went into the store. The first things he selected was the crate of Serums! He needed nuclear energy badly and the serums contained massive loads of nuclear energy he would be able to make use of to upgrade his various attribute.
Secondly, the super cells. Two of the three Super gene were only a basic superorgan with the ability of atomic breath while the last was a Neutron Poison Gland which grants the user the ability to poison the surroundings depending on the strength of the user.
Thirdly, was the bank notes. No matter how rich he is now from selling Anti-regeneration Blade, Thunder beads and Impact Breaker, the total amount was barely enough to upgrade his nuclear talent by one grade therefore, he can never be too rich.
As he had selected all of this things, they already attributed to the 70 percent of the items within the vault. Not wanting to miss out on anything, Erian had used his system to comb through the pile of gold and diamond but didn't find another of the Evolution Crystal that Keira had selected.
The breadth of his back pack expanded to three meters. After organizing every thing within it, be clicked in a button and it immediately compressed back to its original size which is almost as tall as Erian.
"You sure know how to pick the good stuff." Although she said this, she wasn't at all annoyed as she stored a few items within her bag. She only selected Ores of great importance and ignoreed the others. Erian even doubted that she wouldn't have taken anything if not the fact that the Cosmic Ore is considered an important ore needed to create a legendary item.
"It's useless saying this when you've taken the most important item." Erian shrugged a reply in return.
"Since we are done here, I'm heading out." She walked a few steps forwards when she suddenly stopped. Giving Erian a sidelong glance, she spoke.
"How about the matter we spoke about? Have you given any thoughts to it?"
Erian's hands stroking the air he's machine stopped momentarily and then continued. "There's no need to rush, we still have a few days left. I will inform you once I make the decision."
Keira stared heavily at Erian and then nodding her head after a while. "Suit yourself. But I have to remind you, the others are not stupid, and would definitely figure out the true treasures of this city are not the titans, but the city itself. Time is treasure."
Witbh that speech, she faded into an afterimage as she leapt upwards through the holes she had created on the ceiling when she tossed the vaults door.
Erian retracted his hand and stared at the hole for what seem to be a long while before removing his gaze. This was the first time his expression was extremely solemn!
Even when he was facing the second-year senior, there wasn't a single trace of fear in his mind, but this girl with fluctuating power levels have him the chills.
It was as though the strength she exuded when she used the strength serum was her normal base strength while the strength she normally gave off was only a font! As though there was a raw majestic power well hidden within her body.
The waves overflowing from her seem to distort the air around her. If he weren't so sensitive, he would have definitely missed it.
He thought back at their conversation and a plan formed in his mind. After a careful, thorough and complex plan, Erian also exited the mansion.
Just as he walked out from the mansion gate, he halted his steps. Before him was a fellow firatyyear student with sharp eyes and a confident and smart outlook that bordered on arrogance.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The young man had a fiery red hair that seem like a ball of fire with the intensity of the radiation nearby. The moment the young man spotted Erian, he gave out a visibly frown as an intimidating wave of power exploded out from him, overflowing towards Erian and threatening to overwhelm him.
Erian raised an eyebrow at the pathetic show of strength. His mood wasn't all that great as he had just suffered a loss from a fellow student now this young man's attempt triggered him.
A creepy smile carved its way off his face as he tilted his head and blinked his eyes. Suddenly, his figure seem to fade away with the wind.
"An afterimage?" The young man's eyes constricted. Knowing himself, he knew his fastest speed couldn't create an afterimage even after using an agility serum which is why the moment he saw the afterimage fade away, his instincts kicked in. He immediately drew out a knife, slicing his wrist to draw out blood. He wanted to immediately transform, taking his opponent by surprise!
"Ding!"
This sound instantly made the young man's eyes widen. The blade was stopped halfway by a metallic palm.
"Bang!"
His body shot backwards like a broken puppet, slamming into a nearby building. Seeing as there was no transformation
after that injury, it was safe to say the young man couldn't be anymore dead.
