Chapter 105 - Descending With Fashion
"What do you mean by again—Wait, isn\'t this person the hailed as the hero of our city? Did this person also took credit for the gang branch eradication, Big Brother Albion?" Xiao Hua queried with wide eyes.
Seeing Albion\'s light smile confirmed her suspicion.
"How preposterous! How can there be someone so shameless as to steal credit for Big Brother Albion\'s heroic deeds?!" Xiao Hua felt angry for Albion.
Albion patted her head with a calm look and said, "It\'s okay, Xiao Hua. I am just a hero for—Ahem, I don\'t like the attention, so this works out fine for me."
He figured the Four Emperor\'s attention would be drawn onto Captain Wudi due to the false news.
\'Try not to die, my scapegoat—that I did not know I wanted but needed.\' Albion silently prayed for the person.
While he had tried to rub good luck off other people, this person must have rubbed off his bad luck.
"How is this okay?! I need to bring this shameless person to justice!" Xiao Hua responded with a grudging tone while clenching her small fist.
Albion chuckled slightly before pointing out, "Look at the screen carefully, Xiao Hua. Captain Wudi is obviously trying to find the chance to explain, but these people aren\'t giving him the chance."
"Also, his character is so meek, he can\'t find his own opportunity and timing to speak and can only let himself get carried with the flow of others." Albion added before asking, "Don\'t you find this quite amusing instead?"
"Eh? Now that you mention it, that does seem to be the case." Xiao Hua agreed after watching the live interview more carefully, "But still…"
"Since no one else knows, just let it be our little secret."
"Our little secret…" Xiao Hua muttered before her eyes lit up, patting her chest, "Don\'t worry, Big Brother Albion, Xiao Hua will not tell a single soul!"
"Un." Albion nodded.
Shortly after, he noticed a few groups of strong-looking men in black arriving at the building entrance with his [Eyes of Ashura] before he suddenly clapped his hands together.
"Alright, playtime is over. It\'s time for you to go back to your sister and grandpa. People have arrived to escort your family out. Big Brother has something else to do now."
"Will we meet again, Big Brother Albion?" Xiao Hua asked.
Albion stood at the edge of the rooftop before glancing back in response, "Aren\'t we neighbors? Why wouldn\'t we meet again?"
"Right!" Xiao Hua immediately broke into smiles.
…
"Mr. Klein, please allow us to escort the Old Master and the rest of you to safety," a level 5 hunter personally hired as subordinates of the Seymour family spoke.
"No, just take my father and the others to safety." Klein Seymour shook his head before stating, "I will be fine on my own."
"What will you do, sir?" the Level 5 Hunter was startled along with the rest of the subordinates.
Klein Seymour glanced outside and said, "This is a rare chance to become strong before the government imposes laws on the new Dimensional Rift in this area. I mustn\'t waste this opportunity."
"You mean we shouldn\'t waste this opportunity, son." The Old Master, David Seymour, stood up with the solemn look, filled with grandeur before instructed the subordinate, "Take us back to the hidden base and have everyone equipped for the hunt."
"Yes, Old Master!" the Level 5 Hunter answered faithfully.
At the same time, Klein Seymour asked his father with a startled look, "Our family has a hidden base, father? Since when?"
"There are things you aren\'t aware of in the family because you were never interested in partaking, but we always had one. How else would we guard our family\'s wealth with predators all around?" David Seymour threw Old Xiao a glance.
"Hahaha, what is with that look, Old Seymour? You\'re making me seem like some big bad wolf." Old Xiao chuckled before waving to his granddaughter, "Come, Qing-er. Let\'s go and fetch your little sister and head back to make our own preparations."
"Now that a Dimension Rift has appeared so close to the city without set regulations, we must act quickly and not fall behind in the race. Otherwise, our family will just be stepped on by others."
"Yes, grandfather." Xiao Qing complied obediently despite having mixed feelings.
While she had been practicing the Xiao family\'s martial arts, she also understood that hunting interdimensional beasts was the quicker path of improvement.
Shortly after, Xiao Hua came running back as they thought of fetching her, "Sister, grandpa!"
"Xiao Hua? You\'re back." Xiao Qing said with surprise before asking, "Where\'s Young Master Albion?"
"Big Brother Albion said he had something to do and left." Xiao Hua responded honestly.
Seeing Xiao Hua returned at the right timing, Old Xiao nodded before turning to one of his subordinates, "Ah Li, take us back now."
"Yes, Old Master Xiao!"
…
Meanwhile, within the virtual space of a conference room, the three emperors sat at the round table with their virtual avatars.
"What do you want, Thanatos? Make it quick. I am busy over here." Emperor Kasin spoke coolly through his avatar.
"Aren\'t we all?" Emperor Thanatos glanced at both Kasin and Una severely before he continued, "However, you should both know the reason for my contact. The Dark Emperor is alive, and Polemos wants to make contact with him. We need to stop them."
"It\'s already too late for that." Empress Una stated coolly.
Seeing that Thanatos appeared to be unaware, Emperor Kasin explained, "With Polemos\'s tech and his Damocles Space Station, he can deploy himself anywhere on the globe within minutes like an ICBM."
"Let us not forget that none of us are located within the Asiana continent, and we have been stuck in a stalemate for the past half-year ever since Polemos escaped into space and built that damn space station of his."
After Emperor Kasin spoke, Empress Una nodded before cracking a cold smile, "Unless you want him to drop his Sword of Damocles on your ass, I suggest you don\'t go and bother him."
"Those tungsten rods? I admit that they are very powerful when dropped from outer space with such high velocity…" Emperor Thanatos admitted before stating confidently. "But they are not something I cannot deal with."
"Dumbass. You might be able to stop the attack, but what about your base? Can it endure it as well? If you head over there to piss him off, who else is left behind to defend your base?" Empress Una spat while rolling her eyes.
"This…" Emperor Thanatos quickly frowned before he muttered, "That is quite a problem…"
…
Meanwhile, Emperor Polemos\'s spacecraft descended from the heavens like a hot flaming meteor as it was heated from the friction of entering Earth\'s atmosphere at high speed, heading straight for Silvercove city.
It was too easy for Emperor Polemos to track the origin of Albion\'s attack after sensing the general direction and filtering through the news in the region with technology.
"Oh my god, what is that?"
"Is that a falling meteorite?!"
The people of Silvercove city were alarmed, being quick to notice the glowing object dropping out of the night sky, occupied by countless flying interdimensional creatures.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
Several interdimensional creatures splattered against the spacecraft\'s hull as it was passing through with alarming speed—while the person inside simply had his ears plugged with a calm expression, listening to modern music.
"Oh no… it\'s going to hit our city—!" the people were startled with realization as their faces quickly paled with fright.
With such momentum, wouldn\'t the impact wipe out a portion of the city?!
