DEVIANT

Chapter 180

180 Chapter 180: Threat

Alex seemed extremely pale and weak even after resting for an entire week. Somehow even the energy of the power crystal couldn’t replenish what was lost. The cost of using combining two foreign combat techniques, with the power of the familiar added was more than enough to leave him in a bad condition.

Alex remained seated while watching the camera feed outside. He had no intentions of what was going on in Africa since he was not in the condition to help. He could only do the task at hand now and ignore everything else around him.

The forces of the tyrant gang have come to a stop and sent some cannon fodder forward to explore. While Derik has never been the type to care about the well-being of thugs he gladly accepted the idea and let them push forward while he recovered.

The team pushing forward was under the command of Cherry, which even made Alex more irritated. He had a history with this and wouldn’t want anyone else to kill this man outside him. He was sure Cherry was anxious, now he has shown his strength and they are supposedly on the same teams.

“You shouldn’t be up right now. Rest a bit more, you need to recover properly.” Tracy said with a hint of worry in her eyes while she gazed at Alex.

For so long he has been using his combat techniques without any issue but just after combining three abilities at once, he was left in a weekend condition. His eyes had dark circles and seemed a bit sunken.

His pale skin was quite disturbing to look at and right now he was no different from a living corpse. Even Danny’s healing ability couldn’t work on him.

“I have rested enough. Right now I need to know what we are going up against” Alex shot her a sweet smile while he continued watching.

Deep down he was terrified and no one knew. After everything he did, look at the date he is reduced to and he strongly suspected that Danite was no more than a scout. If a real war starts now, does it mean he only has enough power to face one Danite before calling it quits?

.....

“I need to get stronger and fast” Alex mumbled as his golden pupils released a bright flash.

........

“Keep moving!” Cherry ordered as he and Mr blade led a small team of twenty tyrant gang goons into the Sandstorm!

With Cherry’s cherry blossom petals surging around them and forming a tunnel, they wouldn’t have been able to make it this far! They traveled for close to an hour before they reached their destination.

Upon arrival, Cherry and Mr. Blade saw what they could refer to as an ancient ruin. It was like a massive pyramid but what was more annoying is that it shouldn’t be there.

Yes, there are pyramids in the Sahara but not here, or at least not this type.

What they saw is a massive floating shape of a pyramid with floating sand stairs leading to it. It looked like a pyramid but how it is able to float or so is something no one can explain.

Surprisingly, the sand storm was located about five hundred meters away from the structure. Once someone crossed that distance, they won’t be affected by it anymore.

“You are getting all this right? We have confirmed the location of the sealed artifact. We are requesting backup... I’m suspecting other country representatives may be lurking around or in there already... also there is a possibility of...”

“Keep moving... go in deeper. We will provide support when we deem it necessary” An aged voice said coldly which made Cherry freeze.

If there is a danger at the S ratings or higher they will be dead before any backup arrives. The tyrant gang is a terrorist organization all over the world, any country elites that see them will immediately attack to kill, they won’t even be given a chance to speak!

This was practically sending them to their death in hopes of catching a glimpse of who the enemy may be.

“But...” Cherry wanted to speak but was cut off again.

“Are you going to question my orders now?” The aged voice barked in rage, making Cherry shiver. He had no choice right now but to obey.

He was about to give the order but then he heard a familiar voice.

“You are really going to send your men to their deaths without giving it a second thought... the tyrant gang is as disgusting as always” Alex said as his golden body emerged from the sand storm, entering the safe zone.

He quickly deactivated his golden money and fell on one knee coughing up a mouthful of blood.

“What are you doing there, Alex!” Another younger but fierce voice bellowed through the mic but Alex didn’t seem bothered.

“I am here to make sure the team doesn’t get wiped out instantly. I may be weakened now but I have enough strength to send any one of you to the underworld. So I suggest you lower your tone when you speak to me” Alex said coldly, sending a cold chill down the spines of everyone on the channel, including the tyrant gang leaders.

They have seen what Alex is capable of and they are sure that even in this weakened state if he decides to risk his life in a fight against them, they may win but at least two or three of them will die in the process. Their silence revealed their fear and even Danny who was on the same channel felt amused by this.

Alex just joined the Tyrant gang recently and he is already able to command this level of fear from them. This is someone who is just S-rated!

“Just like I said earlier, the Briggs are really scary monsters. But they gave birth to a devil and threw him away. Their loss, my gain” Danny said after he turned off the mic and laughed.

“Go ahead with them... we will provide support if necessary” The aged man said in a meek voice. He didn’t dare speak to Alex with a raised voice anymore.
