Chapter 98 - Young Man, Fighting!
"Brother, quickly take father and the others to safety. I need to make a call and take care of the company's matters," William Seymour said as he left his family in his elder brother's care.
Klein Seymour looked at William deeply before nodding, "Alright."
"Father, Martha, Darien, Antoine, come with me," Klein Seymour said before turning to his family, "Jun, Eleanor, and Anya, let's go. We will fetch Young Master Albion first."
...
"Xiao Hua!" Xiao Qing rushed over before grabbing Xiao Hua's hand, "Come with grandpa and me! I just received a text from dad, telling us to head home and hide in the underground bunker!"
"The underground bunker? Is the situation that serious?" Xiao Hua asked with surprise.
"Very serious!" Xiao Qing nodded gravely before saying, "New Dimensional Rifts are appearing in the skies. Mum and Dad believe it's the Second Wave."
"The Second Wave?" Xiao Hua was startled while gripping Albion's hand, "Big brother should come with us."
"No, Young Master Albion will come us. The Seymour family will provide better shelter," Eleanor spoke before Albion could respond.
His spare arm was quickly pulled by Anya before she added, "That's right, This son of—Ahem, Young Master Albion is closer to our family."
"The Seymour family may be the wealthiest, but the Xiao family is the leading figure in aerospace and metallurgy in Silvercove," Xiao Qing said coolly as her eyes flickered.
A person with strong psychic powers like Albion had to be roped to her family's side.
"Hmph, so what? Could the Xiao family's tech compete with provincial city's Smith family?"
Receiving Eleanor's signal, Anya tugged harder with force.
Albion was like a stalk of grass caught in a storm, swaying left and right wherever the wind blows.
Klein Seymour wanted to interrupt, but he suddenly got a call.
Seeing that the call came from his close friend, he excused himself to accept the call, "What's up, Quinn? Is there a problem?"
[Have you seen what's in the sky, Klein? A dragon! A real divine dragon! Make sure you don't lose sight of it! We need to know as soon as it defecates, so we can collect its droppings!]
Klein Seymour's eyes twitched before he asked, "What the hell is wrong you? Why do you want me to collect dragon poop? Are you high? Or did all that methane finally made you turn crazy?"
[High? Yes, I am definitely high on adrenaline! Didn't the hard turd you handed over to me also came from a divine dragon? Have you already forgotten?]
Quinn Richmond asked over the phone with doubt.
"Divine dragon?"
Klein Seymour frowned for a moment before his jaw dropped in realization.
"Oh, yes, that was also dragon poop, but it came from a different dragon..." Klein Seymour said with twitching lips.
A dragon among men is what the young master was.
...
"May I have a word, please?" Albion finally opened his mouth after some time before the ladies paused and turned their attention to him.
"Why is everyone's first thought is to hide in bunkers when others are screaming with excitement at the prospect of becoming Hunters?"
Everyone was immediately stunned by Albion's question.
The existing Dimension Rifts all had restrictions and laws placed on them. However, a new Dimension Rift did not.
It was the best chance for ordinary people to become Hunters and reap as many benefits before the authorities impose sanctions.
"The danger level has not been accessed. If it's an A-rank Dimension Rift, people will be throwing their lives away blindly." Xiao Qing shook her head.
"Miss Qing has a point." Albion nodded before he said, "But none of that is my concern. If you wish to go hide, go hide. I'm going to watch the show outside."
"Sounds like fun." Xiao Hua's eyes brightened and said, "I'll go with big brother!"
"Xiao Hua! Now is not the time to fool around. Come with grandpa and me," Xiao Qing admonished.
"But big brother is powerful! I think it's safer sticking close to big brother," Xiao Hua said.
Outside of Royal Pearl Club, the streets were filled with chaos.
The party's invited guests had all scattered and left to make their own arrangements and plans for the presumed Second Wave.
"Haiz, what a birthday this is." David Seymour sighed while being supported by Mr. Klein's wife, Jun Seymour.
"This old man is not young anymore. Why is the world throwing such excitement on my birthday? I won't be able to endure it..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Numerous gunshots came from the top of skyscrapers while a few interdimensional creatures fell out of the sky, crashing into the ground and shattering into countless Phantasmium shards.
As soon as everyone made it outside, they saw people getting swooped by flying-type interdimensional creatures.
"Hahaha, come! This King will take you all—Uwarghh! Noo!" A chubby young male with glasses boasted with a kitchen knife before getting picked off from the ground and disappeared into the sky amidst the chaos.
Suddenly, a gigantic mosquito-looking black interdimensional creature came swooping towards Albion with its pointed mouth.
"Xiao Hua, be careful!" Xiao Qing cried.
Splat!
Albion slapped the mosquito-looking thing into oblivion as it splattered into countless Phantasmium shards on an adjacent building.
"...Mosquitoes sucks. No pun intended." Albion casually said to Xiao Hua.
"Pff, whatever!"
...
A short distance in front, another foolhardy youth laughed while waving a butcher knife, "Come to daddy! This Emperor is destined for greatness!"
The youth dodged the grasping claws of a hawk-looking interdimensional creature, only to be pinned down by a giant fly-looking interdimensional creature.
Shortly after, the creature rubbed two of its limbs together enthusiastically.
The young man lost his courage after getting pinned and immediately cried with a paled look, "Ahhh! Help me!"
"Help me please!" The young man flailed his limbs frantically while looking for someone to save him.
His gaze shortly locked onto Albion, "Save me, please!"
"Me? Oh, no, no. Don't mind me. I'm just a spectator." Albion shook his head before encouraging the young man with a clenched-fist gesture, "You can do it! You are someone destined for greatness. Young man, fighting!"
"Nooo! Save me! I can't do it! I was just boasting!" The young man cried fearfully as he saw the creature's pointy mouth moving closer, "Ahh, nooo! Mommy!"
