System: Inherited - Chapter 160

(In an Unknown Location)

There was a slight vibration in the air as six men appeared out of nowhere. Pink particles were being spread all around the room, and the men were holding hands with each other.

Right after reaching, everyone looked at each other and a smile appeared on their faces. One of the men came forward and looked at The Military Head in the eye.

“Why did you prolong the fight? The timer was up almost a minute ago. We have work to do, remember?”, asked the Royal Magician Head.

All of them had shape shifted, and they had a plan that they had to follow strictly. If any mistakes were made, he was sure it would screw up the upcoming things that were supposed to happen.

The Military Head shrugged his shoulders as he walked away from the place. He kept his hands in his pockets and walked away, waving his hand as he left the place.

“I remember we do have a mission, but does that mean I cannot have my fill of fun? By the time the Military set up, I could have had a good fight. They hadn’t et up yet, from the knowledge I had gathered from the man’s faint memories”, he thought as he tried to access them.

The moment he did that, he felt a splitting headache and didn’t want to probe any further. He reached the living room of the house and began to sip his coffee. He turned on his television and watched the stream that was going on.

“Now, let’s see how my ‘Animals’ are doing”, he thought as he looked at his Zoo in particular. He was switching through the cameras, and he was looking at everyone just standing and loitering around.

“But why? I am sure Shadow Fang is within this group”, he thought as he began to use the zoom-in tools and saw Zen’s face. He saw it show a lot of emotions, and one of them being frustration.

He turned the camera manually and saw one man kill them all with his strength. His Aura levels were increasing rapidly as he fought, and his Mana was something that he had full control of.

“Computer, bring up this person’s profile”, he commanded and a profile appeared next to his face. He began to read, and he was astonished.

“If that is the prince, I wonder what level the King will be at. And we are tasked with killing the King. Well, if we use the final card, we will be able to kill him”, he thought as he looked at the screen.

He then began to calculate all of the risks that his Animals had to take, and the number of kill points they could rake in.

“And boss just had to cut off the communication and let them off be on their own. Let’s just hope that they do the right thing”, he thought. After the killing spree of Sam, he saw one of his men go up to the people that were fighting before.

“Turn on audio privileges”, he commanded and he began to hear the contents of their conversation. The more he listened, the more he was astonished about the plan they were doing.

“But that is TREASON! HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME AND THE ORGANIZATION!”, he bellowed and banged the table. It broke into pieces, and the loud bang created more anger within him.

When he turned the camera to Zen, he saw a smile on his face. For just a moment, he saw Zen smile at the camera that he was looking through.

“Huh? Does he know something that I don’t?”, he thought and began to look at Zen’s face closer. Zen was moving his lips, and there was no sound coming from it.

“The Auction will be screwed”, he read the lips carefully. He was doubtful at first, but when he ran an algorithm to check if what he had interpreted was wrong, it said that it matched ninety-three percent.

The Military head was pissed off. He wanted to kill off Zen, and he flipped open another laptop that was connected to the supercomputer that was connected to their chips. He began to type in some manual commands to give him a shock.

[Processing…]

[Command failed. The subject does not have any thoughts of escape]

He didn’t stop and tried again. He kept on trying when he saw a notification appear.

[Commander has been blocked Authority from Supreme General]

He sighed out loud after he saw who it was that had blocked him. He snapped and a new table appeared, and along with it was a cup of tea.

“If he is involved, then I won’t be able to get anything out of this. Let’s just hope that ‘The Auction’ isn’t screwed. Else, I can kiss my arse goodbye”, he sighed. He didn’t want anything to get out of hand and thus wanted to give Zen a shock.

After seeing the plan being hatched, he watched the fight they had with Lucas’s team, and he was stunned that Zen and he were on the same level. He pulled up Lucas’s profile and was more astonished when he saw who he was.

“He has been banished? Just what kind of deed did this kid do to be banished? Oh wait, there is also that Roaming Hermit who has a pendant with the same symbol around his neck. If they are the same family, I am sure it is going to be trouble this time”, he thought.

He remembered meeting the Roaming Hermit once, and he was defeated with just two strikes from him. His attacks were so strong that he, who was once a Master had to grovel for his life.

That day, he vowed to have his revenge against that Hermit and trained relentlessly. That was when he had met Fenrir, who promised to give him unparalleled strength for him to attain his goal.

“But I had to finish one mission of his, and that has already taken eight years away. One day, after this mission is over, I am coming for you, Roaming Hermit. And that day is coming closer as we speak”, he muttered under his breath.

After he saw Zen’s move and began to analyze it from his standpoint, he understood that was the best chance of survival, and he could easily rake in a lot of points. But he was bound to lose some, as others around him would deal alongside him.

“So, you plan to fight alongside humans, and stand against all five of the other Zoos”, he amused as he sipped his cup of tea, watching the drama unfold in front of him. He also didn’t miss Zen’s eye that was on the camera all the while.

After the group split up, he split the screen into four parts, and each of them showed the place where they were headed to. When he saw Bruce’s group head into the tunnel and join up with Steve, his hands trembled slightly.

“That man, he is the SSS Rank Adventurer. Just what in the hell is he doing here!”, he exclaimed and coughed out the tea that was in his mouth. He didn’t understand what was going on.

He then aw their group split up, and he now had seven different streams running in front of him. There was no commentator for the live stream, and the bets were still raking in.

“Now, since it has come to this, I can only hope that they succeed. And the best people will be off in the Auction. I do want to buy some of them off, and keep them around as my bodyguards for safety”, he chuckled.

But his thoughts were different, as he wanted to keep them around as his prized Animals and use them to do his every work. In the name of releasing them and giving them freedom, he wanted to keep them in slavery.

The number of bodies that were around Steve and Jasmine was something that he took note of, and thanked his lucky stars that Zen had decided to join up with the humans.

“It seems like Zen still has the foresight to analyze and predict the future. If only I had such smartness, I would have outsmarted the Supreme General a long time ago”, he muttered as he placed his empty teacup back.

The Military Head looked at the number of bets, and there was a new section where comments were popping up. Amused by this, he began to read the comments.

‘A truly great leader that Shadow Fang is. Who would have thought of joining the opposite side, and helping them win the battle? And along the way, rake in a lot of points’, read one of the comments.

He was amused by this comment and saw that it had a lot of replies. He began to go through all of them, and the more he read, the more he was convinced that Zen was much smarter than him.

“You better do well in this and get out of my Zoo. I don’t want you loitering around. I want you next to me”, he muttered as he saw that his Zoo had the highest kill count at the moment.

“While the other Zoo’s have more than a thousand people in their Arsenal, mine has four hundred strong men”, he smiled.. The fight was still on, and he was placing bets on his Zoo winning, while some money on the others for safety.
