Chapter 136 Global Meeting III

Chapter 136 Global Meeting III

A few hours before Crow stepped his foot on the great meeting hall…

Crow was in his original form, as Zio Varrez, an Octagram student who held so many secrets and kept them for himself. He stood before his friend with a dumbfounded expression due to the shock Zio had given him.

Lux Virtus. The 'Lux' in his name was a Latin word meaning 'Light', while 'Virtus' meant 'Virtue'.

His name already described his appearance. Just like a light, everything about him was white — white hair, white-pale skin, white outfit — with a little bit of gold in his eyes.

Meanwhile, his surname defined his character. He was a man of virtuous qualities. This was the fact everyone knew about him.

Where in reality, he wasn't so much a virtuous character. He had killed people without discrimination — he slaughtered men, women, and even children — making him a cold-blooded murderer.

But that was nothing more than history. A regretful history Lux wanted to forget while hoping no one except his mentor found out about his dark past, especially the person before him.

Zio Varrez was the first person he found unique. Their first meeting was some months ago during the entrance exam, where he caught the mysterious swirling energy around him.

It was so mysterious and eerie that even the Odyssey System which claimed to know everything couldn't identify the mysterious energy.

Even until now, that mysterious energy seemed to remain or maybe increased since the last time he saw him.

Lux was surprised when he heard Zio talking to him, but it was not him who he talked to, but the Odyssey System.

"Can you tell me how my skill work?"

That was what he said. Lux did not realize that the question was not for him until Zio clarified.

"Can you get the Odyssey up to answer my question?"

It was at that moment Lux's mind seemed to blow. How did he know about the Odyssey System?! Even the system itself was confused when it was asked by Lux after they helped Zio with his problem.

At the current time…

While Zio was attending the Global Meeting with his other identity, Lux was heading for the academy after being discharged from the hospital.

On his way, he couldn't stop asking the same question over and over to the Odyssey System. "How did he know about you?"

Unlucky, the only response he got from the system was a reminder that he already spent all of his daily questions. Thus, making him unable to get the answer he wanted.

Although, the system's answer would be the same every time he asked his question. The system had no idea there was someone other than Lux — his host — who knew about its existence.

Luckily, Lux knew when to give up.

"Haa… Whatever. As long as the system deemed him as 'safe', then I could let this pass…"

Crow's gaze stopped on a middle-aged man dressed in elegance, carrying a sense of intelligent person.

That was Alexander Galonn, the Guildmaster of Keepers Guild.

His frown deepened as he recalled the story.

'Alexander Galonn. The betrayer of humanity. After this meeting, he will seek the demonic human and make a contract with the demon because of his greed for power.'

Despite knowing the piece of information about Alexander Galonn, Crow didn't brashly make a move to eliminate him right away. That was a foolish thing he could do.

Crow made a mental note about the man and throw his gaze from him, inspecting everyone in the hall.

Since it was a meeting where the leaders who became the foundation of the new world gathered, he just seemed could not stop staring at the strong Enhanced individuals swarming the room.

He recognized all of them. Although, only a few of them was one that he knew from the writing — his own writing. The rest were coming from the additional information gathering he had done these past six months.

Among the hundreds of leaders' aides, only three of them could fully snatch his attention from the rest.

The first of the three was one of the aides accompanying the representative of Japan. Youko Kiguchi. He was ranked 104th in the global ranking.

And the twin aides from Indonesia's representative. Nathanael and Natalia. They were ranked 198th and 199th respectively in the global ranking.

By the time he finished observing everything, the majestic door swung open with a loud bang!

The sudden interruption made the discussion halt as everyone looked at the culprit who disrupted the meeting.

"Hey, kid. Why didn't you include me in this meeting?"

Standing at the doorway was a prominent figure. He exuded a majestic aura as though he was an emperor. The blue and white glow seemed to spark around his majestic form as he strode into the room, stepping between Kyle and Evelyn.

"Thunder Emperor…"

As soon as his name was spoken, the room was drowned in his pressure. Everyone could feel how strong the old man was just by experiencing the red pressure of his energy.

At first, they felt suffocated because of the pressure. But as they adapted, they all were thinking about the same thing.

<SS> rank.

They all imagined, what would it be like if it was them who reached that rank.

Sighing, Kyle continued:

"Thunder Emperor. Have you read the message I sent you a few hours ago?"

Thunder Emperor stared at him dumbfoundedly.

Looking at his face, Kyle knew the old man wasn't reading any of it. He started to regret his decision to not send a human messenger to deliver the news to the Thunder Emperor.

He face slammed himself knowing it was his mistake and not the old man's.

"I'm sorry, Thunder Emperor. I should have sent you a human messenger."

Thunder Emperor folded his arm in front of his chest. "What do you mean by that?"

With a sigh, Kyle informed him about the message he had sent to the top 10 heroes as simply as possible, fast enough so the meeting could continue.

In his message, Kyle had informed the top 10 heroes to attend the meeting through the Holo-vision. Unlike the top 10 guild leaders and 80 countries leaders who were obliged to attend the meeting physically, the top 10 heroes were free to choose whether to join or not.

At the very least, Kyle received 3 positive responses from them, telling him that they would join the meeting through Holo-vision. Those three were Nuria Crimson (rank 4), Kamael Nielsen (rank 7), and Olsen Vangoch (rank 9).

In addition, now they had a rank 1 hero attending the meeting physically.

"You should have been right there if you read my message," said Kyle, his hand gesturing at the hologram display in the center.

The hologram in the center displayed three holographic figures staring at the Thunder Emperor with a grin.

Noticing their grin, he grinned back as he straightened himself and stared back at them. Somehow, the intensity of their stares spread across the room as though the holographic figures were present in the room.

"Ha!"

Nuria's holographic moved. She looked like she was taking a sit on the other side.

"It is nice to meet you after the whole <SS> rank thing, Thunder Emperor," said Nuria.

Her voice was audible even though she was just a hologram. This showed how much technology had advanced in this world.

"Nuria Crimson. Hero of Octagram," Thunder Emperor's words trailed off. "Sometimes, I wonder why did you stop to become the strongest."

Nuria chuckled. "I've reached my limit. Rather than doing something useless knowing I've hit the unbroken wall, it's better to nurture the young generation to be the next pillar of the world."

Thunder Emperor raised his eyebrow, seemingly finding it weird about her statement.

"Hitting the wall? Have you tried the elixir those brats have created?" said him as his gaze fall on Andi Nova and Neyctha.

"I was unlucky," she shrugged.

As Thunder Emperor was about to make a comment, Kyle stopped him. He daringly reminded Thunder Emperor that he was in the middle of the meeting.

Feeling as though he was challenged, Thunder Emperor released a significant amount of his pressure on Kyle. To his surprise, the handsome and charming leader was unflinching.

Grinning, Thunder Emperor reclaimed his aura after seeing the resolute in the handsome leader's eyes.

"Interesting. No wonder they chose you as the leader."

Shaking his head, Kyle snapped his finger. In an instant, a chair emerged out of thin air behind Thunder Emperor.

Smiling, Thunder Emperor slid down to sit on the chair that almost looked like a throne. "Much better."

Evelyn leaned in to whisper in Kyle's ear. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, don't worry about me."

As though nothing happened, the Global Meeting continued as it should.

During the meeting, Crow just couldn't help but stare at Evelyn — more accurately at her eyes. And every time Evelyn noticed his gaze, again and again, she just smiled knowingly at him.

The first day of the meeting was supposed to be fruitless. Many of the leaders were against the idea to elevate the Earth to the next level.

Not until they got solid proof of whatever the creature had appeared on the night of the new year said was true.

But, when the first day's meeting was about to end. Evelyn gazed at Crow with a wide smile, and he knew that the moment he caught her smile, he was fucked up.
