Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 40 Kevin Flash- The Soul Splitter!

?"We are here, master is waiting inside." (Butler)

After we reached the door of James office. The butler suddenly said and then he stepped aside. Clearly displaying that Rio will be the only one going inside.

Rio didn't care about it much and without hesitation, he entered the room. Once inside he found a burly man sitting on a sofa in a liesurely way.

The man seemed to be sleeping at that time but when Rio entered his eyes immediately opened and locked with Rio.

Rio felt as if he was being watched by a beast, a hungry beast eyeing its prey. But after a few seconds that deadly aura disappeared.

'he restrained his aura, but why did he released it in the first place, to intimidate me?' (Rio)

"So, you are Rio..." (James)

"Yeah." (Rio)

James then pointed towards the sofa right in front of him and said:

"You can sit..." (James)

Rio nodded his head and quietly sat on the sofa. Although, Rio was still expressionless, but inside his head he is actually already thinking about several things.

'If he suddenly attacks, my chances of running away alive will be 5% and if i use every single skill I have to just run, the chances are still rather slim. But first figure out his motive.' (Rio)

While Rio was busy planning his ways of action and making a full proof plan to not die, James was also eyeing him.

'Hmm, this guy is clearly vigilant and I am sure that he is capable of dodging a few attacks from me if am not serious. Indeed, he is a talented kid.' (James)

"Do you know about your parents kid?" (James)

"What do you mean by that? Please be specific, so that I can understand." (Rio)

'why is he asking about my parents suddenly? I thought he was going to give me some kind of warning like 'how dare you deceive my daughter? Or something' (Rio)

"Well you see, Rio Flash, your father was an old comrade of mine, do you remember his name?" (James)

"Yeah, Kevin flash but how can he be a comrade of an S-ranker like you, i remember that he was an ordinary man he wasn't even an awakener. Both of my parents were non-awakened, i remember it as clear as day." (Rio)

"Yeah right, I forgot to tell, In public's eye he was a non-awakened human." (James)

"In public's eye?"(Rio)

James suddenly got up and walked towards the window, looking in the distance he said:

"Yeah, your mother was a non-awakened human, but Kevin was a Peak S-ranker" (James)

Rio frowened a bit and said:

"Even an S-ranker can't hide his aura so thoroughly that others won't get affected, this is a well known fact, there's only one way for a awakener to hide his aura so thoroughly...could it be!" (Rio)

"Yeah, he was an assassin. He was the most lethal assassin ever recorded in human history." (James)

"He he liked to work hidden from everyone's sight, even his own family never knew that he was an assassin, his proficiency to his class had reached close to perfect." (James)

"He was capable of infiltrating the most haurded areas and he had collected a huge amount of important information about several races and that all information was then given to the alliance." (James)

"He had been a high ranked member of the alliance and was a a very capable man" (James)

'Allaince? The alliance of all the S-ranker and above. He was part of that allaince!?' (Rio)

'Now i understand. It is definitely possible to hide his identity then. But I got reborn in this body was it really just a coincidence?' (Rio)

'But there wasn't any mention of Kevin in the novel though, even during the allaince was first brought to light, there was still no mentio of the name Kevin' (Rio)

"He was known by the nickname of The soul splitter. Although I don't know how he got that nickname but one thing was for sure he was capable enough to sneak right behind any S-ranker without them sensing his presence at all. This is also the reason why he was well known, I have even completed several missions with him, so I can be considered an old comrade." (James)

"But when he died he was killed while fighting with the huge swarm of demons attacking the drift city. I was one of the reinforcement sent that time but we got late and that whole city was destroyed. Every single human was killed mercilessly thus giving that incident the name drift city massacre, i still remember that horrific sight of thousands of dead bodies scattered all over the ground." (James)

"Twenty-five thousand humans, including awakners and all others were killed on that bloody day, the purpose was to collect enough blood to summon a new SS-rank demon." (James)

"Twenty-five thousand!? But didn't the records say that only five thousand had died?" (Rio)

Hearing this James laughed bitterly and a sad expression appeared on his face:

"Obviously, the information was manipulated so that panic doesn't spread, even five thousand had created enough panic that people were protesting everywhere and we top rankers weren't able to give answers to those whose family members were never found." (James)

"Those who were relatives, we shut their mouth either by force or by compensation. We had no choice, dead doesn't comes back afterall." (James)

"Then what about by father?" (Rio)

"He fought untill his last moment and created opening for your mother and you. You may not know that" (James)

"Yeah, i don't have memories of that time, when I opened my eyes I was already in an orphanage. I don't know how i fainted" (Rio)

Rio looked at James with questioning gaze asking for the reason. But James also shook his head:

"I also don't know about that. When I reached the place your father was long dead. Your mother was also right beside him both died while holding hands, your mother must have come back later to find Kevin." (James)

"We thought that Kevin's son died too and his body was destroyed by demons, so further investigations were never done. But it seems you managed to survive that bloody day. A remarkable feat, indeed." (James)

'That means, if i hadn't came to this world, this guy Rio would have never been able to talk with James and would have died without even knowing about his father. As I thought this world is indeed very cruel. Only strong are valued here.' (Rio)

The room suddenly queitened for a while, then James looked at Rio and said:

"That's all I know but there's one more thing for which I wanted to talk to you. (James)

James then started to walk toward the cabinet at the corner of the room, he opened it and brought out a small box.

He brought the box with him and then gave it to Rio. Rio held the box and looked at it for a while. He tried to open it but it didn't even budge.

"This is?"(Rio)

"When I reached Kevin's body i found this box with a letter, on the letter it was written that 'anyone who finds this box, please give it to my son.' So I am giving it to you now. I don't know what it is either. But i think you will be able to find if you inject your mana in it." (Rio)

"Hmm, okay." (Rio)

Rio slowly moved his mana towards the box and as if a mechanism has been triggered the box opened all by itself. A bright golden card came in Rio's sight.

The card suddenly lightened up and within a few seconds the light started to envelope Rio.

"It seems this is a key to some kind of space, it's transporting you somewhere so be careful!" (James)

Before Rio could have answered him, he was engulfed by the light and his body disappeared with the fading of light. Now only James was standing in the room looking at the spot where Rio had disappeared.

"Hmm, looks like Kevin prepared something for him. I hope he don't get overboard, he always did things very thorough, so it is possible he will end up beating that kid too." (James)

James shook his head, he knew that nothing can be done about it now, only Rio can choose what he should do now.

"I have completed my promise, it's up to you now, boy" (James)

Authors note: so here's the question of the day.

What do you think where has Rio been transported off too?

1. To a trail.

2. To a place filled with monsters

3. All of them.

Don't forget to use power stones, we are already very close to our goal of rank 50. I know you guys can do it. So let's do it together. I will make sure to update everyday in return.

Also thank you all for your support.
