Chapter 352: We meet again
“I got this scar when I was nine years old” Michael touched the scar.
“I’m not gonna tell my sad story but let’s just say, liquid hot metal is bad for skin” Michael didn’t want to say the drug dealers poured hot liquid metal on him because he dropped a pack of cocaine when he was smuggling it under his shirt.
He still remembers the pain vividly. He cried so hard that after lasting for a couple of minutes, he lost consciousness. When he woke up the next day, he had a crude badge wrapped on his chest. The drug dealers wouldn’t care about his health, they just wanted him to stay alive so they could use him as a mule in the future. Until he was fourteen years old, he lived the life of a child slave. Hence his hate for slavery.
“Who did this to you?” Ethan felt the air around him suddenly getting chilly. If Michael was good at hiding his killing intent, Diana was a master at it. Only because Ethan knew her so well that he could sense the killing intent. To Michael, it seemed like she was asking the question having no intention behind it.
“They are all dead,” he said.
“When-” Emelda opened her mouth, changed her mind, and closed her mouth.
“Why are you here, Lord Ethan?” He asked with a smile. He wanted to know what they want even though he knew it would be related to Andrews.
“Andrews’ ‘ Unexpectedly, it was Emelda who answered Michael quickly before Ethan or Diana could open their mouths.
Michael turned his gaze at the worried face of Emelda,
“Is that so?” Michael stopped wiping off the blood as he put the white towel around his neck.
“But what can I do? I already saved him once, you can’t expect me to save him every time he gets into trouble. Even if I wanted to, I can’t do anything now”
Although Ghost still had a calm smile on his face, Ethan could see the coldness in his eyes. If Andrews got in his way to get the championship, there was no doubt that Ghost would do the worst to Andrews in a heartbeat.
“But-“
“I am sorry Lady Emelda, if you really want to help Andrews, talk to him. When he comes to the final to face me, if he wants what he’s fighting for, he should give his all to beat me” His words and tone were not neither too polite nor rude, it was a warning.
The images of a seven feet tall man in full black metal armor holding a war hammer flashed across Emelda’s eyes. These were the flashes she wanted to forget, these were the images that kept her away for so many years, there were the images that gave nightmares to her, these were the images the Skyhall showed her, the DARK LORD.
She didn’t want to believe her sister’s son would be the dark lord yet she couldn’t help seeing the flashes of the Dark Lord in Ghost.
“We are not here to ask you to lose the final Ghost. We just don’t want anything to happen to Andrews’ Diana placed her hand on Emelda’s shoulder, wordlessly telling her to calm down.
“Can we talk honestly Lady Diana, Lord Ethan, Lady Emelda?”
“That’s what we want” Ethan quickly said,
Even if he couldn’t be a father to Ghost, he at least wanted to be a good friend to him.
“The Knight Andrews killed, what about him? What about his family? There’s no right or wrong in this world. Everyone’s the hero in their own story who does what’s necessary to get what they want, just like Andrews did” The three of them had no words to rebuke, after all, Andrews did kill the knight.
“If Andrews wants to get what he wants, there is only one way” Michael paused,
“What is that?” Emelda asked after a couple of moments of awkward silence,
“Simple, he just has to kill me” Michael shrugged while the trio was stunned to hear his words,
“Because he can’t break me or make me surrender” Diana knew very well what her son is capable of long before Ethan and Emelda. However since the two of them saw what he did to Alex and how easily he killed Alex, they knew there’s no chance in hell for Andrews to defeat Ghost.
To the last round, no one could guess his real power. Except for his cultivation level, none knew what he was capable of. Even Michael did not know how powerful he is right now after upgrading all of his spells. He had spent 300,000 badass points to become immune to all the attacks of a Core Formation stage warrior. According to the system, he could even fight with a level 3 Core Strengthening stage warrior without losing.
“What would…you…do to him?” Emelda asked after taking a couple of long breaths,
“There are ways to win the round without killing the opponent, Lady Emelda ” Michael smiled which sent a chill running through Emelda’s spine. She should have felt better after hearing his answer but something caused her to be worried about Andrews more.
“Master Gho-” Suddenly Ricky entered the room only to be shocked by the three of them,
Forgive me MAster Ghost, I didn’t know you were with guests” Ricky gave a small bow towards Ethan, Diana, and Emelda,
“It’s okay, what’s the matter?” Ghost was glad Ricky interrupted their conversation. It was obvious their love for Andrews would eventually lead them to ask for something he couldn’t offer them. Although Ethan and Diana didn’t seem like typical Lord and Lady, Michael still didn’t want to take a chance in pissing them off, especially after knowing Noah’s secret.
“There’s someone here to meet you, she seems like she won’t leave until she meets you”
Ethan let out an awkward weird grinning, he was thinking about his son having a one-night stand. It was pretty normal for boys like him to enjoy the company of beauty from time to time. However, Diana frowned. Just looking at Ghost’s face, she could tell he was surprised. Moreover, Diana heard about how deeply he and Aelia are in love.
“It seems like we have to take our leave” Emelda quickly stood up. She was too freaked out by Ghost as she wanted to get out of his sight as quickly as possible.
She almost pulled Diana by her hands while Ethan walked towards Ghost. Michael also stood up to send them on their way. When Ethan got closer, he put his hand on Michael’s shoulder,
“Take care of yourself” Just as these words escaped Ethan’s mouth, a warm sensation brushed past Michael as he felt refreshed. He looked down to see all the bloodstains were gone.
“You too, Lord Ethan” Michael nodded. If Michael had known the man in front of him was his father, he would have reacted differently. Right at this moment, Ethan was a caring man in Ghost’s eyes.
After the trio left Michael’s room, he put on a black full sleeve V Neck T-shirt and rolled the sleeves up to his elbow. He was looking at his face in the mirror while whistling some random tone that came to his mind.
Suddenly though, his whistling stopped as his brows creased. He sensed a powerful entity approaching him, he willed the system to show the Environmental scanning map to see an overwhelmingly powerful entity slowly walking towards him.
“The moment something goes wrong, buy and activate the teleportation scroll system”
[As you wish]
The system replied to his telepathic order. He didn’t turn back to see the door but took the swords in his hands just in case. In a couple of moments that lasted longer than he liked, a figure draped in dark brown robes entered the room. The figure was covered from head to toe as there wasn’t a spot that showed the figure’s skin. The darkness provided by the hood and cloaked completely hid the face but not for long as the figure slowly removed the hood covering their head,
“Lailah Alden” Michael looked at the beautiful face staring at him in the mirror. Ever since he came to this world, he had seen countless beauties yet Lailah was the only one who could challenge Gaya in terms of beauty. This woman had the womanly grace that Gaya lacked.
“Divine wrath”
In a blink of an eye, Lailah raised her hand, sending a powerful blast of golden energy at Michael.
“Lightning Dash”
Despite Michael’s quick reflexes, the golden energy blast hit him yet he felt nothing.
Laila’s cold expression soon took a turn to show the expression of utter shock. The mirror behind Michael obliterated into millions of light specks when the energy blast hit the mirror.
After all these times, she hoped she could hurt him unlike when she was inside the Treacherous ocean. But she was proven wrong, he still seemed to be immune to her attacks. Regardless of her bitter understanding, she wanted to cast another spell. Yet when she moved her lips, she felt cold metal on her throat as she saw Ghost standing only a couple of inches away from her. She could feel his hot breath on her face,
“Do that again if you want me to cut Andrews into pieces”
