Multi-Gene

Chapter 191 - Deception

At the clearing, in front of an old complex, five figures stared at each other with vigilance and weariness, not daring to slack off in the slightest, keeping their distance from each other.

The figures consist of three young men and two young women.

This figure had undoubtedly seen that the intruding professor had been destroyed by multiple laser beams in the forest and with the same thought in mind, they had all gone in search for the body of the old man as valuable treasure might be within the old man's grasp. Just the Skywalker alone was enough to make them absolutely rich.

So they definitely wouldn't miss out on such good opportunity.

David was amongst them. If he was in his peak state, he wouldn't be bothered by them and would immediately go after the treasures he was seeking but unfortunately, he was terribly injured.

David couldn't help but curse his luck. Even when he had taken different shortcuts by the arrow projection, four others were still able to match up to his speed. "If not for my situation." David smiled bitterly.

Most of his energy were being used to fight off the destructive force in his body, so he barely had any energy left for a prolonged fight.

From the waves coming off of them and with the sound of their heartbeat, the one with the lowest strength was a one of the young lady with a beautiful face and exquisite features and a light green a to boot. Her blood revolution was at 120 CPM.

While the other beautiful young girl who was no older than 16 years of age had a quiet looking feature has a blood revolution of 130 CPM.

While the remaining two guys had a blood cycle of 135 and 140 CPM respectively.

This made them wary if each other as they had all suddenly reached this place at this same time. David was also cautious and he didn't dare to act recklessly.

He could barely release 50 percent of his powers and the remaining 50 percent was being used to prevent his organs from being destroyed.

Seeing as no one was ready to make the first move, David coughed slightly and said. "This is an awkward situation for everyone, including my self. But if we were to remain silent for long, other people would find their way here and things will definitely become chaotic. So why don't we make a decision quickly and I have an idea which might be perfect for the situation."

David paused as he stared at the four students around him. They remained quiet for a while before the quiet looking young lady nodded.

After which, the rest also responded. "Sure." "let's here your suggestion."

David smiled softly and he responded as he gazed at the building. "We all know that the person's corpse would be at the roof of the building." David said while he halved at the dust rising from the top of the building. The building was tall and large, the five were unable to truly see the roof.

Upon hearing this information the quiet looking girl blinked her eyes rapidly as though the information was knew to her but she hurriedly contained her joy and managed to stay indifferent. If she had to search by herself, she would have entered the building, or search the surrounding area thinking that the body of the old man might of dropped there.

The gaze of the one of the guys and the green haired lady darkened as they glared at David. They too have noticed the little details and knew that the body was definitely at the top Of the building. They just didn't expect David to say it out loud, informing the other two people.

Now their chance of obtaining the corpse or some valuable items had reduced a lot.

His eyes shone with a cunning light which he concealed deeply and he continued.

"My suggestion is that, The first person to touch the corpse owns it and everything on it, what say you guys?"

The old man's corpse was definitely at the roof of the building before them. All they need to do was climb it and they would definitely find it.

"I agree with your thoughts." One of the younger man there quickly agreed but seeing as he was quick to agree made the others suspicious. Even David couldn't help but give him a few glance over, trying to estimate the guys ability.

"Sure." In just a few seconds, the other lady squinted her eyes as she also agreed.

The quiet looking girl pursed her lips tightly before reluctantly nodding her head

There was nothing they could do and this was the best and suitable choice they could make.

As soon ad the last person agreed, David instantly burst into motion under the surprised gazes of the other students. But they themselves weren't slow, as they also stamped their foot to the ground, propelling their figure straight towards the building.

Although David was the first to react, the others by passed him with their explosive speed as they rapidly made their way to the top of the building using the various pipes, ledges and windows as leverage to climb up the tall wall like geckoes.

Seeing as the four students have started climbing, David immediately changed direction without slowing down and headed fro the entrance of the building.

"I only have five seconds left."

Immediately he entered the building, David jumped up with all his might and caught the handle leading to the second floor, he instantly smashed through a door to one of the rooms in the building.

Upon getting entering the room, David saw the devastating corpse of the old man.

Not waiting a single second, David turned the old man's corpse over and forcefully yanked the small backpack hidden behind the old man's back.

He didn't even mind the boots. It was definitely a high grade Skywalker. This made him very reluctant to leave it.

Although reluctant, he knew his limits. He hadn't fully healed yet, there was no way he would handle the pursuit of the four students if they were really determined to pursue him.

He didn't place a single hope in his suggestion at all since he also wouldn't follow it if it were someone else who found the corpse of the old man.

Therefore, he left the Sky walker there as distraction, to let them fight over it, greatly reducing the amount of pursuers her might have.

Placing the compact bag behind him, he jumped out of a small window which was barely his size.

As he landed, David rolled twice on the ground to reduce the impact of his fall in order not to alert those that were about to reach the roof and would soon figure out how empty it is.

"Two seconds left. That's all the time I need to escape."

David smiled widely and he started running.

All of a sudden, David's gaze turned cold as he saw two people with malicious intent blocking his way, attempting to ambush him.

"Drop the things y..." he wasn't done speaking when he was suddenly and violently interrupted.

David abruptly increased his speed and in the blink of an eye, he smashed a palm at the neck of the first person, while simultaneously twisting his waist as his leg turned into a black blur, smashing straight at the chest of the second opponent.

The two students had a drastic change in expressions as they attempted to evade the attack but to no avail.

"Twack! Boom!"

The two was immediately sent reeling backwards like broken kites.

Suddenly, David coughed out a little bit of blood. His expression solemn. His injuries were more serious than he had imagined.

"I need to hurry up and recuperate quickly." David's speed only slowed for a bit suddenly, he heard the sound of people furiously shouting and cursing behind him.

David smirked but didn't bother to look back. He had take what he could. He wasn't going to wait to see how things would turn out between the four people.

* * * * * *

"That bastard!" A young boy standing at the roof of an old abandoned building furiously yelled with his face red while there people around him also loudly gave out their own dishes of curses to an unknown person.

Suddenly, the green haired girl's eyes sparked as she thought of something. Her figure instantly blurred and she charged into the one hole which was right in front of them.

The others were stunned, but they weren't stupid. They instantly followed her and jumped into the hole in the roof, heading straight into the building.

The distance from the roof to a floor from the hole was a bit deep and there was no telling that when she landed, the ground wouldn't collapse quite suddenly.

The four students executed different tricks and skill, and they successfully landed right before the corpse.

As the first to arrive, the green haired lady saw the corpse and sighed in relief as she saw that the boots were still intact, she immediately grabbed at the body of the old man using his almost pulverised neck, like it weigh nothing and without hesitation, dashed out from the room and reached for the exit of the building.
