Chapter 2 Get Lost

“Haha! What do you think, Asura? Do you like the gift my young master has given you?” the man asked with a cocky grin. Bang! No sooner had those words left the man's mouth, than a flash of cold light streaked by, and his head was sent flying into the air. A plainly dressed man with an ordinary appearance showed up beside Fabian. A drop of fresh blood dripped off the sword in his hand. “I'm sorry for arriving late, Boss!” the man apologized while bowing respectfully. This man was Eleven, ranking eleventh among the twelve sworn brothers under Fabian's command. Before joining the border army, Fabian led these twelve brothers into countless battles abroad and established an unrivaled superpower known as Fifth Nation. These twelve brothers were all incredibly powerful. Any one of them, if chosen at random, could instantly defeat the top elites from any other country. When Fabian joined the border army, Eleven was always by his side, responsible for ensuring Fabian's safety. “Return to Jacaster with me!” Fabian's voice was chillingly cold, filled with a terrifying intent to kill. Those elderly men, bearing the weight of their high ranks on their shoulders, were quick to advise him, “Please don't act rashly, Asura!” “Asura, this could be a trap. They've set you up before, and today is the day you're finally being released from prison. They're repeating their old tricks, staging this whole scene just to provoke you, to make you furious, and to drive you away from here!” said the leader, Jonathan Wright. “If you leave here early, they'll have another reason to punish you!” another elderly man added hastily. “Last time, we exhausted all our efforts to keep you safe. If you leave here early now, we won't be able to protect you!” A year ago, Fabian was set up and framed. In his fury, he broke the legs of a young man from Juxshire, who happened to be the grandson of a highly influential and powerful figure. As a result, the influential figure was displeased and intended to punish Fabian. In the end, it was the personal intervention of everyone in the military pleading for mercy that saved Fabian. “Get lost!” That was all Fabian had to say. His terrifying aura was so intense that it made the elderly men turn pale, causing them to retreat several steps. Swoosh! Just then, eighteen masked figures in black suddenly appeared from all around. Each of them exuded an unparalleled aura of terror. “Eighteen Shadows!” “They actually sent these guys over?” The sight of these eighteen men in black greatly shocked the elderly men. Eighteen Shadows had been a renowned superpower in Clusia for over twenty years. For a full decade, they had dominated countless strong individuals in Clusia. However, ten years ago, all of these people pledged their allegiance to that prominent figure. “My master has spoken, Asura. If you obediently hand over what you hold, your family can be spared from further torment. If you don't do as my master commands, then your family will perish in endless agony,” said the leader in a cold voice. “Kill!” Fabian yelled and said nothing further. Eleven instantly transformed into a blurry shadow, leaving only afterimages in his wake. A few moments later, Eleven sheathed his sword and followed behind Fabian. The supposedly invincible Eighteen Shadows all collapsed to the ground. A gash was present on each of their throats, from which blood was wildly gushing out. “This...” The faces of those elderly men were filled with shock. What did we just see? This invincible superpower, which had dominated the world for decades and kept countless strong men of Clusia from raising their heads for ten years, just got killed by a single person... Whoosh! As the roar of the helicopter began to sound, the elderly men finally regained their composure. “Who was that person just now?” Jonathan asked immediately. “I have no idea!” “That person referred to Asura as his boss, so it seems he's working under Fabian!” another elder said. “Go and find out. If Asura has such a terrifying elite under his command, I fear that Clusia will be thrown into chaos if he returns,” said Jonathan, his face filled with dread. At that moment, Jonathan seemed to understand why that important figure had forced Fabian to leave.
