DragonBall X: The Ultimate System [Re-Mastered] - Chapter 83
The Elders saw the space distort in a certain area and grew cautious. They had known that many times before that there had been several attempts on the King’s life. The king and the elders readied themselves for a fight until the figures revealed themselves. Once they saw the three figures, they all sighed in relief and relaxed. This wasn’t the same for a certain elder and a certain young man standing near him, the two were elder Mars and his eldest son Marshal Mars!
“My dear daughter has returned from her training session for this great event for our family. If we win this, then we’ll own another city and we’ll get more rich, haha! There are also more rewards for our victory but that’s for a later time.” The King spoke once he saw his daughter; he could even feel that his daughter was much stronger from the last time, like much stronger!
“Yes, father, I’ve trained hard! When does the tournament start?” Athena asked curiously.
“It will start in 20 minutes, I am very relieved to see that you’ve arrived on time or you may have been disqualified.” The king was indeed worried but she returned right on time. “You’ll have to go down below, if you look out this window, you can see the arena and many other clans all around.” The king said.
“Okay, I’ll head out and prepare.” Athena nodded. She could see that the window could be lifted with a push of a buŧŧon. This room was a special room for King class clans such as her clan.
“Humph, you would have arrived much earlier if this bodyguard did his job right instead of slacking off!” Mars took this time to ridicule Kayn, he glared at Kayn with hatred and disdain. His eldest son Marshall also looked at Kayn with hate. He had come back about a week ago and saw his brother’s condition and was very angry.
“Elder, it’s none of your business whether I made it back or not. The only thing that matters is that I’m here to fight!” Athena wasn’t stupid, how could she not know that he was starting something because of his son’s condition?
“I am your elder, How dare you speak to me like that!?” Mars couldn’t believe she dared to speak to him, a supreme elder like that.
“Mars, not here, this is an important moment for us, so stop arguing!” The king suddenly spoke, he didn’t like disrespect but this was her moment to shine and right now, she was the star of the show.
“Tsk!” Mars stared coldly at Kayn, he couldn’t blame Athena or the King. The way Athena talked to him just now must be because of this damn medicine boy! Strangely, he hadn’t heard from the black cloak man at all these days, he had suddenly just disappeared out of nowhere.
“Father, I will dismiss myself and head to the arena.” Athena bowed and looked at both Kayn and Ariel. They both nodded and turned to walk away.
“Wait, I’m also here to represent the clan, so I’ll be coming with you!” Suddenly, an overbearing and arrogant voice spoke up. The person who spoke was Mars’ eldest son, Marshal. He wore fiery red battle robes, he had black hair and blue eyes. His face was very handsome that many girls would definitely drool over it.
“Humph, whatever, don’t cause any trouble or else!” Athena’s voice was gentle but it had a harsh warning behind it.
“Little sister Athena, I would never cause trouble for you!” Marshal smiled and walked over to Athena’s side. There was a hint of disgust in Ariel’s eyes when she saw this act, she had seen it so many times, how could she not know what he wanted? Marshal glanced at Kayn, he really wanted to teach this fool a lesson, how dare you stand next to my Athena, you damn medicine boy!
Soon, they walked out of the room and were heading towards the battle area. Three people would represent each clan, the other member of their clan had already left to the battle area. Once they arrived, they saw many people of their age from several different clans. Kayn saw some familiar clans from that time as well, such as the Cryo Phoenix clan and the Crow clan. Once they saw Athena and Kayn, their expression turned dark. This was definitely so for Crowell, he recalled his elder being killed in the most inhumane way by Kayn and he started exuding killing intent.
“Crowell, what is wrong, are you okay?” A friend of Crowell named Rai asked; he was from the Raven Clan and his clan was one of the ultimate allies of the Crow clan!
“That bastard over there wearing black, white and red, he is the bodyguard I was talking about!” Crowell gnashed his teeth while looking at Kayn. He hated him to the bone! Rai looked in the direction where Crowell was looking and saw Kayn walking with the princess and Ariel, oh and that annoying Marshall.
“Hmm, so that the bodyguard everyone’s talking about. Hmph, he doesn’t look like anything special!” Rai coldly snorted seeing Kayn, he was sure that the elders from his clan could kill this trash bodyguard with ease.
“Rai, don’t underestimate him, in fact, I think he does it on purpose! The guy likes to play sheep but he is really a monster in disguise.” Crowell wasn’t stupid enough to underestimate Kayn ever again. This guy had killed his favorite elder and even killed the mysterious man who came with the lion clan’s young master.
“Ah, whatever!” Rai shrugged his shoulders but still believed that Kayn was nothing in his eye. He was sure he couldn’t beat Kayn but he believed his clan could.
Kayn could easily feel the killing intent coming from Crowell but he still ignored him like air. This made Crowell so mad that he wanted to rush to kill Kayn immediately but he knew he wasn’t a match and would only die or get badly hurt.
Erica stared at both Kayn and Athena with annoyance but she would show Athena today and disrupt her legs and arms! As Kayn and his group were walking, they were approached by three men who wore golden armor. “Are you the bodyguard of the Heavenly Phoenix clan!?” The man asked in a loud and overbearing voice.
“Don’t start trouble here or else, it’ll be bad, you better leave now!” Athena, seeing trouble coming, immediately spoke up. These people were from the Golden Lion clan, they appeared to be elders but they looked so young in age.
“Little girl, we weren’t talking to you, you stay in a woman’s place!” The man didn’t even look at Athena and kept his eyes on Kayn.
“You…!” Athena was starting to get angry seeing the disrespect this man was giving her. But before she could say anymore, Ariel spoke next.
“He is, so what does it have to do with you?” Ariel never liked the Golden Lion clan, in fact, they could be considered enemies to some degree. Her dad asked her to invite the Golden Lion young master to her party just to not gain another enemy. Ariel’s clan was stronger than the Golden Lion clan but they were being supported by them.
“You’re from the White Tiger clan and their young miss at that, this has nothing to do with you so back off, please!” The man spoke in a harsh voice, he knew no respect; he just wanted to avenge his clan members and his young master.
Just when Kayn was about to act, a powerful force came out of nowhere. Everyone’s facial expression turned green as the figure appeared. The man had white and black hair, it resembled stripes of a white tiger. The man wore all white, his clothes looked similar to piccolos in a way. His eyes were deep sea blue and he had a happy gentle face. This man was Ariel’s father!
“Dad, you’re here!” Ariel smiled upon seeing her dad appear. The man looked at the Lion clansmen and eyes glinted coldly, they all backed away in fear. The man from the golden lion clan steeled his will and looked at Kayn.
“Are you going to hide behind women and their dad as well? You’re such a weakling!” Kayn suddenly looked at the man and a terrible oppressive aura crushed them to the ground.
“AHHHH~~~!” Howls of terror echoed throughout the hall! Everyone was shocked, who was using this force to crush this man? Everyone looked at the white tiger clan leader in horror and he looked around with an innocent face that seemed to be saying, it isn’t me! Kayn withdrew his force and said nothing afterward but the white tiger clansmen leader knew it was him.
A telekinetic message was sent to Kayn’s mind “Kid, you have some skills, that was quite the force you used just now.” The Clan leader spoke with a smirk on his face, he was quite satisfied with what Kayn had just done.
“He had it coming. People like that can only talk trash but at the end of the day, they have no skills.” Kayn spoke loudly so everyone could hear it, the members of the Lion clan were angry with their current standing, they all walked away in embarrassment but didn’t forget to give Kayn a deadly glare before leaving.
“Damn, the Golden Lion clan Elders bitched out!” One random dude said.
“Yeah, with the arrival of the tiger clan leader, who wouldn’t?”
Many people from different clans shook their heads seeing the retreating Golden Lion clan. They were nothing in the face of the White Tiger clan leader. Both clans were affiliated with the Feline clan hierarchy, there were other Feline clans here as well but the White Tiger clan was one of the strongest amongst them.
“Wow, dad, you’re so amazing! Those annoying Lion clansmen couldn’t do anything to fight back!” Ariel thought her dad was the one who caused the men to be flattened and retreat. His mouth twitched as he looked at his daughter’s excited face.
“Ariel, come with me, the battle will start soon and we have front-row seats to the competition.” Ariel looked at Kayn and Athena. Kayn nodded, indicating that he should go with her father. Athena hugged Ariel and she left with her father just like that.
Athena, Kayn and Marshal went to their fighting area where there were multiple battle rings. Kayn didn’t plan on staying, he wanted to tell her about Mars and the plan he had to ȧssassinate her father. He also knew the clan that was behind the scenes causing trouble and killing several other clan decadence off. “Athena, let me talk to you for a bit in private, just the two of us!” Kayn gave marshal a knowing look.
“Sure, let’s talk.” Seeing the seriousness in Kayn’s face, she agreed immediately, it was not like she wouldn’t have agreed anyway. Marshal, upon hearing what Kayn had just said, his face darkened a bit.
“What is it that someone like me can’t hear? Let’s take a seat and hear what you have to..” Before he could finish, Kayn had already grabbed Athena and teleported away! Marshal’s face turned red from anger. “A mere medicine boy dares to ignore me, just wait!” Marshal walked away in huge strides.
Meanwhile, Kayn appeared outside the city with Athena. “I’m going to insert the memories into your head from the higher-ups in Order of Assassins. You will only receive the relevant memories about the people in the shadows causing these things to happen.” Athena’s face changed, she always wanted to confront Kayn about the memories he had retrieved but was too scared to find out the truth.
“Once you find out, don’t act immediately. I will show your father some other time.” Athena nodded slowly, her heart was racing! “Here we go!” Kayn attached something to her head and activated the Mind scanning device to insert the memories.
