I Lost Everything But My Will - Chapter 9 Love Blooms Up When Trouble Arives

-The Slum-

James was your classic prince charming minus the bravery and strength he was sixteen years old with very alluring looks to any woman, a good body stature, and he could swoon any girl with just his words, but most of all he had power. His dad was the overlord of the slums and he was even a level 1 late-stage death energy master. His dad was a level 2 mid-rank will energy master and the overlord of the slums.

As useless as this post was, a saying says, ‘Among the blind the one-eyed man is king’ and truly he lived like a king. You would expect his son too also be a brute who lavished all the pleasures a simpleton with the slightest bit of power would attain, but James was calm and coolheaded, and he was extremely analytical and logical in everything he did and to crown all these, He was a psychopath.

James might not have the strength but he had the smarts and the backing. He never hated anyone who killed or committed a crime, he was more interested in their motif for doing so and their methods, and he had a whole lot of the records of the crimes committed by the people in the slums, though not all, he had enough.

But just like most people he didn’t believe he should be alone and he desired someone to share his life, ideas and moments with, but unfortunately for him, not every girl was like that, they would always flee once they caught a glimpse of what went on beyond that charming face of his.

On a faithful day, he met a girl whose mother was whipping her whilst hurling curses at her but stood there and took it all without uttering a single word. After her mother was done she spat on the girl’s face and then went inside their small Hut styled house with a single room and a living space. But you could tell there really wasn’t much there. As the girl heard the door click she headed to the pigs and started laughing and narrating the incident to them.

It was love at first sight for James, ever since he would even sneak glances at her by dressing like an old man, and staying around her vicinity a lot.

On a faithful day, he spoke with her and discovered it was her birthday, so he gave her an old ring his father had looted from a badly injured quantum master that was currently in their captive, he had gifted her the ring hoping it would help her remember him because he was soon going to be dumped with a lot of work and he wasn’t sure she would ever be fated to speak to her again.

And now two years later he discovered she just mysteriously disappeared and a quantum master was on the loose killing people, her mom was already killed by this quantum master, her dad was long gone and now wherever she was she all alone with nothing left. This left him moping around all day, thinking about a single girl like a love-struck teenager.

-House of masters-

“So what were you able to discover,” said Dragonlord as seated behind his desk looking at an abstract painting before turning in his chair to face Chris. “Well master, this case is quite something, the young master of the house of skills is also involved, but his role in all this was what led to this situation, then Feng of the Daji organization was the one who caused the incidence at the Daji headquarters”.

As Dragonlord listened to all this information rather than the situation becoming clearer it became foggier. “So you mean to tell me, a child from the slums is a quantum master. A Bloody Immortal Quantum master”. “Are you flipping kidding me #@!* ” Dragon said smashing his table to the ground destroying it in the process. “Chris I’ll say this once. FIND ME ANSWERS FAST!” Dragon Lord said screaming. “Yes master” Chris replied then left

-Phantom Organization-

“So this was the message that man right, it seems I’ve become a laughing stock among the other organizations,” Shadow bane said laughing hysterically. “You know it’s funny how I’ve kept this secret for so long, how foolish these people can be. That’s why this fool dares talk to me in such a disrespectful tone” The transition of mood and facial expression in shadow bane was almost scary if you saw it.

“I guess playtime is over, with the rise of this new quantum master, I needn’t hide anymore and it’s pointless. So I need a grand entrance, and what could be a grander entrance than killing that self-pronounced lord, I mean it’ll be fun to watch one of the heads of the house of masters dead, but since I can’t kill him. His servant will just have to suffice. Shadow Bane said with a devilish smile on his face.
