The Mech Lord

Chapter 19 - 18: I Guess I Have A Big Brother Now



Leo looked at the guy in surprise. He had Silver hairs like him but his were dark unlike his white ones. The person looked to be a three to four years older than him and was not any worse than him in terms of looks.

'Could it be…'

Leo suddenly started to have a bad feeling when the guy suddenly turned his head to look towards Leo, "Its been a while little brother, I hope you have ran enough now.."

He knew it!

This person was related to this body's owner.

Hell, he even called him little brother!

But Leo couldn't understand, how did this guy managed to reach this place so fast. He thought that it would have taken at least a week for him to reach here. Assuming that the Embassy had informed about Leo's presence on earth the day he arrived here and the Captain was probably late on informing Leo about it, it still had only been 3 days.

Just what kind of sorcery was this?

And how did he managed to locate him?

Nonetheless, Leo was extremely grateful to this sorcery which had saved his life.

'I guess I have a Big Brother now.' Leo really was speechless for some reason looking at the guy.

The person smiled at Leo. He definitely was pleased to have found his brother. But the smile suddenly ceased when he saw his missing arm.

"What happened to you arm?" He immediately rushed up to Leo and took out his storage capsule out without a moment's hesitation.

Leo saw him taking out a green vial from the capsule and the moment he poured it down on the severed area of his arm, even Leo couldn't endured it anymore and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"What is this?!! Are you trying to kill me?" Leo asked looking at him in utter pain.

"They are wound sealing bacteria. It would hurt for a few minutes. Just endure it.." The guy said with a grim look on his face before turning to look at the man in the distance, "Was it him, Aiden?"

Leo finally managed to learn the body's real name. It turned out to be Aiden.

But that wasn't of his main concern now.

There was a hidden anger in his voice. It was like a volcano waiting to erupt at any moment.

"Let's get out of here. He is too strong," Leo didn't care whether he was this body's brother or not. But he wasn't willing to let this person in danger who had just rescued him from his death.

A fight between Lv 31 Titled and Lv 21 Magnate. This person was at a huge disadvantage here.

Aiden's brother looked at Leo with a strange expression. He obviously had found his behavior a bit odd but this wasn't a time for a chat.

"Just sit and watch," He said to Leo and then turned around to look at the evil guy as he kept the back of his curved blade on his soldier.

'Arthur Scan him,' Leo couldn't help but command in concern.

[Name: Unknown]

[Level: 29 Magnate]

[Skill: Thunder Type]

[Skill Rank: Unknown]

Well, he was strong it seemed and was close to the next category. But the opponent in front of him was someone who had already entered the category of Titled.

"You want to kill his family. Here I am," Aiden's brother asked the person with a mocking smile. "But let me ask you one thing first. Do you even know my last name?"

"…"

The man definitely had no idea about it.

"It's Silver."

The moment he heard those words, the man knew he had messed up. He immediately tried to leave to not further aggravate the situation but who would have thought that Aiden's brother would suddenly moved. A green bolt of lightning covered his body and in a blink of an eye he had appeared behind the man swinging his blade down.

The man immediately turned around waved his hand forming another energy blade to defend himself.

"Znng!"

The two's energy clashed before they separated from each other.

"I didn't ask you to leave. Do you think, you can leave this easily?"

Leo really didn't know why this brother here was inviting death, wasn't that person living him quietly? Why stop and provoke him?

"Both of us don't want this situation to aggravate any further. Do you think you can survive, if I am hell bent on killing you?" The man asked in a threatening tone. He obviously knew that he had messed up but that didn't mean he would let his head be sliced in an attempt to not further aggravate things.

If push came to shove, he might as well kill both of these people to seal the things, even though a research might be set up leading to a huge troubles. It would be better than letting himself dying and there were still chances that they would be able to hide their movements with the two gone.

"Why don't you go ahead and give it a try? Let me see if you have what it takes to kill me?" Aiden's brother smiled as he suddenly moved with a flash and immediately appeared in front of him. His curved blade made a sharp arc in the air once again before slicing towards his opponent's neck with a green gleam following behind its edge.

The man's expression changed and energy blades spurted out of both his hands and immediately moved in to intercept the attack.

As the two blades clashed, Aiden's brother looked at the guy and smile, "Why don't you bring out your skill? Are you afraid of being recognized?"

The man's expression changed, it was true. He wasn't using his skill and only using his energy to fight because he was afraid of giving anyone any kind of lead to him.

"Hmph! Even if I don't use my skill, someone like you is no match for me," He snorted before applying even greater strength and overpowering Aiden's brother.

With a cruel smile on his face, he looked as the edge of his Arora Blade and moved it closer to to his opponent's face planning to viciously cut his head apart.

But suddenly, the man's expression changed when he saw a golden light flash in his opponents eyes. This immediately terrified him and his movement's slowed for a second.

"Swish!"

The man immediately reacted and moved his head to the side as an energy armor appeared on his body but it couldn't stop the blade and it immediately sliced of his right shoulder spurting out blood like a fountain.

"Aaahhh!!!"

The man screamed miserably before gritting his teeth and looking at the person in front whose left eye had turned golden and there were some strange attachments like a body suit appearing all over his left hand in which he held his blade.

Aiden's brother looked at the man and pointed his blade at him, "I will let you leave now. But if you think otherwise, then please be my guest.."

Even if he was confident here, he wasn't going to fight someone probably ten levels above. That not only included minor levels but a major one as well. It was dangerous and he even had Aiden around to protect.

The man looked at the guy with red eyes filled with a desire to kill but he had finally recognized this person. He just wasn't just any guy from Silver Family, but Aaron Silver.

He really had rotten luck to have met these people here. Even though he wanted to kill this guy, he knew it was impossible to do in a short while. There was no way a guy like him was out here all alone. And he definitely want to wait and find out about it.

If he ended up bumping into some High level Awakener, then that would be the end of him.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to take back his severed limb before planning to retreat.

But suddenly a blade sliced his severed limb into two.

"Y-You!!" The man looked at Aaron in rage but he paid no attention to him and sliced of the arm in several pieces before finally kicking the blood thing away all over the place.

The man's eye were bloodshot in rage. A bit more and he would probably spew out flames from them but he was a smart person and controlled himself in the end, before retreating. After all, an arm couldn't compare to his life.

...

Aaron finally breathed in relief as the man disappeared and he lowered his blade before finally keeping it back in its sheath and at the same time, the body suits like attachment which had appeared on his left arm vanished.

He then turned around to look at Aiden only to freeze on his spot. There were no traces of him around. He was gone and had disappeared once again.

"That guy…" Aaron's face finally changed colors for worse. He had been running around for two weeks tracking that guy down and now that he finally managed to catch him, he ran away again. "He is injured, he mustn't have gone far away.."

On the other side, Leo had already walked half the way towards the hospital. Even though he didn't like leaving that person all alone when he rescued him, he was way too worried about Kyle and his father.

He already had contacted the Local police force about seeing some suspicious figure around the hospital hoping to let them confront with that evil man's ally.

City Hospital, Vista City.

A while ago…

"Hmmn.." Kyle was suddenly woken up by the loud clattering noise of an elderly patient's walking cane which seemed to a have tripod ferrule towards its end.

Seeing that it was nothing worth paying attention to, he was about to go to sleep again when he finally noticed Leo missing in his place.

His initial thought was that he must have been to the washroom but even when a lot of time passed and he didn't return, it began to worry him. In the end, Kyle got up to check. He looked around the washrooms, hallways, even the the room were Uncle Von, Leo's father was being stationed and treated.

But Leo couldn't be found at any of those places. He tried to contact him but there wasn't any responses and it was still raining heavily outside.

"Where did he go at this time?" Kyle muttered with a frown as he paced around the entrance of the hospital.

Suddenly, his ears perked up, and he saw a figure waking towards the entrance but when the person got closer, it didn't turn out to be Leo but an entirely different guy all together.

Kyle sighed and turned around to go back inside. Standing around there wasn't going to do anything and with Leo missing, he couldn't just leave his father alone like that.

As he entered the elevator and pressed on the button for 10th floor, Kyle suddenly saw the man who had entered the hospital just now coming towards the elevator as well.

Being a gentleman, he stopped the doors from closing and allowed the man inside.

"Thank you," The person said with a smile and as he turned to press the button but stopped realizing that it was already heading towards his designated floor.

"You are going on the 10th floor as well?" Kyle asked as he looked at him. "There are only people in severe conditions up there.."

"Yeah. I have one of my relatives admitted here. He is really not in a good shape. I just want to have a look at him before its too late.." The man nodded before replying with a sigh.

"Ting!"

The elevator finally reached the 10th floor and the two walked out with the man slightly ahead of Kyle.

"Hmmn?" the man suddenly noticed that the rooms around were all full of elderly people. It didn't seem that the people were in a severe condition here at all.

When the man finally realized that Kyle seemed to have lied to him, it was too late.

"Swish!"

A Sharp compressed blade of wind sliced his back and blood immediately spurted out as he crashed into the floor ahead.

"Bang!"

Kyle didn't wait any longer, he raised his palm and shot a blast to wind towards the emergency alarm and immediately woke up the entire hospital.

The Patients and the staff immediately began to evacuate the place and Kyle stood there as the people passed by his side. But he couldn't just leave yet, Leo's father was in the opposite room to him. He had to go through that person if he wanted to pass by him.

The man who had been caught off guard by Kyle suddenly turned around while suppressing his injury as a green colored energy began to leak out of him. It immediately made Kyle serious and he let out his energy to defend as well but unlike last time, it wasn't yellow but cyan in color.

It seemed he had been hiding himself back earlier.

He clearly had crossed Lv 10 to enter the ranks of Elites.

"I am surprised not only you managed to identify me but even mount a sneak attack. You don't seem like an ordinary kid," The man said as he stared at Kyle. "But, didn't someone teach you not to poke your nose in other people's business? Now you have to die to learn this lesson the hard way."

Kyle looked at the man not daring to let him out of his sight even for a second.

He had been surprised initially when he saw the man entered the hospital because even though it was raining outside, he wasn't wet at all. It was possible to do so when one reached Lv 11 to became an Elite as one could then use the Arora energy to conjure a shield around them.

Still it wasn't enough to make him suspect the guy, it just felt a bit off for some reason. But when the guy entered the Elevator and turned to be going to the same floor, alarms began to rang in Kyle's head. He suddenly remembered the Doctor asking Leo if it was a case of assault and how Leo was so adamant on selling his property and wanting to leave the city with his father. He was really rushing and Kyle could see it.

But he had thought it was all due to the trouble caused by his new body. Yet, if he thought carefully, Leo didn't need to take his father along when he was in such a severe condition. It was better to let him stay here and it only would take a few minutes for him to arrive in the city to visit him using the Light Speed Circle.

This immediately made Kyle suspect something was up…

In the end, he ended up asking that question to the person and his answer was more than enough to confirm his doubt. The 10th floor was a place were the elderly who had gone through their surgeries were stationed for rehabilitation.

Since they lacked a place in the ICU wards, Leo's father has been stationed here for now. And this person clearly had no idea about it.

But there was one mistake that Kyle made, even though he was different from Leo in terms of the other kids due to being raised in an entirely different environment. He still went soft and didn't deal killing blow. After all, he was assuming things here and wasn't hundred percent sure. Not to mention, he hadn't killed anyone up till this point.

Actually, his family would allow him to experience that as well, but the time hadn't arrived yet.

It was planned that he would be put in a fight against one of the the death row mates before leaving for Academy.

After all, if you wanted to be at the top and survive the raging competition at the Interstellar level, then it was necessary to have all kind of different experiences to improve oneself.

But now it seemed that he wouldn't need to wait for that day.

Either he would do it today or won't have another chance in this life...
