Chapter 190 - Laser Beams
He had supported his decisions and even personally makes a move whenever his disciple encountered a difficult mission. Collecting 70 percent of the payment for the bounty as a result.
But who would have expected his disciple to hide such a high bounty mission him, and even died from it.
His face turned cold and his eyes refocused on David. "What is the person name and information?"
Without hesitation whatsoever, David spilled the beans to the old man and even the direct location where the person might be at. He wasn't really on good terms with the guy anyways. Moreover, this was a perfect way to stall the old man.
Back at the gathering of the professors. The area suddenly turned quiet as they watched the large hologram screen of the white haired man's possible new disciple unhesitatingly send the information of his fellow student to an enemy, they didn't know what to say in a situation like this and they isn't dare to rub it on the white haired man's face either so they could only remain silent and mock that student.
The white haired man sat quietly and expressionlessly but his hands on the handle of the chair was squeezed tightly. He was speechless and most of all, embarrassed.
"Just kill the old bastard now!" he ordered with a low growl.

Deep within the forest, several tall trees opened up like flowers as they spilt into multiple pieces from the top, like a banana.
The whirring sound of several machineries echoed in the distance and in the next second, large muzzles emerged from within and they all pointed in the same direction.
As the old man was about to ask another question about the original target his disciple had wanted to make a move on, his expression suddenly changed and a sense of intense dread filled his body.
He roared loudly and in the next second, five transparent green force fields appeared around him, he suddenly grunted out loudly as a large feathery grey pair of wings covered in bodily fluids and mucus grew out from his spine and burst out from his back.
In the exact same time, countless grey feathers grew out from his skin. The feathers were extremely hard and resilient and gave off a feeling as though they could not be penetrated by even machine guns.
"Caw! "
An Eagle like a pattern shown was reflected from his back as a sharp cry of Eagle rang out.
Immediately after, a bright and deadly red Ray of laser shot out from a muzzle far off the distance, turning the muzzle of the weapon slight bright orange.
The old man's face fell. Instantly, the bright ray of red light pierced through the five force field like a knife slicing through paper. The force field didn't even hold for a full second before it was pierced through.
In the last moment, the old man flapped his wings and his body expertly shifted sideways, evading the laser attempt to piece his heart. But, his shoulders wasn't so lucky as the edge of his shoulder and his arm was pulverised.
It was as in the shape of an arc as if some type of animal had taken a bite at his shoulder. His defence didn't manage to hold and also, one of his wings had been pierced through and had a large round hole in it.
But luckily, he had survived the ordeal. It was supposed to be a sure kill but using his experience, he had been lucky enough to evade a Laser Beam locked on him.
With his experience, he knew a laser beam had a few seconds of reload before it fires again, he immediately activated his cloud walker, causing several hundred degrees of combustion energy to spew out from his boots. In the moment of crisis, he didn't even bother to look at the kid before him.
Since he was in a hurry, he had pressed down hardly with is toe on the boot.
The boot instantly accumulated massive amounts of energy and under the insane amount of power and energy used from its charge cells, there was a sudden boom and the old man was propelled upwards like a rocket launcher.
And in just a second, he had reached several tens of meters in the air.
At the same time, he reached out from some unknown pocket of his and sprayed a bottle of fluid at his injured shoulder and wings even of some of them where wasting away due to his unstable movements.
The old man breathed deeply and he gazed downwards in fear. He had almost died. But then, he viciously stared at the figure of the student below him, he would come back for the bastard sooner or later.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong as he felt several dull pains all over his body. His chest, legs, waist and even the wings.
Soon after, his gaze darkened and he only managed to say one word, "How?" as he sank into eternal unconsciousness. He didn't even knew how he died.
If one looked at his body carefully, one would several holes the size of a large cup appeared all over his body. Still emitting out smoke and the edges of it still red.
His chest had been hollowed out by three holes, his waist, two holes, his legs two holes respectively and on his wings, had been thoroughly shattered into pieces and meat paste. A Phaser, a powerhouse had died just like that.
This was the terrifying power of weapons.
David was in slight awe as when he saw the skies lit up with several red rays of light, its target focusing on just one person.
But soon, he came to his mind and his shouted hurriedly . "Hazel, calculate the trajectory of the old man's flight and where he would land. Give me the exact location quickly." Even as he was saying this, he rapidly got to his feet and ran in the general direction the old man would land at.
That was a genuine Phaser expert, that was very old. The amount of treasures he had with him isn't something David could hope to calculate. But if he could just take the cloud walker the old man had been wearing, he would be satisfied.
The genetic killing force had been supressed by him already but the injuries he had suffered should still be severe. At least, that was the plan. He knew some people might be watching him since he felt several gazes in his direction. He just couldn't tell from where, so he decide to put up the act of been heavily injured.
But he also couldn't let the Cloud walker and other valuable things from the old man land in others hands as that would mean he had suffered for nothing. Which brought David's thoughts back to Dravin.
He swore to rob that guy of his Gyno points each time they meet in the future. As for now, the treasures that were about to land into his hand matter.
All of a sudden, Hazel's voice rang out in his hears. "Done! Follow the arrow."
A light large blur arrow floated above David's left arm.
Looking at the direction, David dashed quickly toward the direction.

Deep within the control centre, a light crack sounded and the arm of the handle of the luxurious chair the white haired man had been sitting on burst into powder.
The room remained quite. Someone suddenly spoke softly. "The vitality of Thai fellow is quite outstanding."
"Yes! That's true. Its rare to see a Spryher having the energy to loot... Err, to run after taking a hit from a four gene Phaser." The professor quickly corrected himself after his mistake.
The white-haired man's face had turned slight red but he still remained emotionless.
In his mind, he roared "Little Bastard!!!"
"Just you wait until you come back!" he gritted his teeth tightly. All his face had been thrown to the gutters because of this kid.
"Alright, Since the threat has been solved, turn off the surveillance. We are only here in case other experts try to interfere." The white haired man closed his eyes, and remained silent.
Mr jerkins walked forwards and then asked in a low voice, "Will there be any trouble from White Eagle Institute?"
"Hmph! After one of their people try to murder our students, they should hope we don't give them troubles instead. Alright, that's enough for now, I need to rest." Mr White wasn't in a good mood. At first he had been secretly happy the kid had survived the attack of that old man, but now, he didn't know what to think about that kid's behaviour.

Removing the helmet, David cleaned the blood stain at the edge of his mouth. The helmet had also been stained and he could barely see anything. David gazed at an old and barely standing building in front of him.
From what he could see, it should have been a complex but the building was now covered in moss and a few green vines which had a tinge of yellow within.
From the corner, David saw the entrance of the building, he breathed a light sigh and was about to rush into the building when four people suddenly came out from within the trees, bursting out into the clearing from different locations entirely.
The atmosphere suddenly dropped by a few degrees.
