Child of Destiny

…

King Jesse traveled with a great speed using his short-distance teleportation technique repeatedly. He was travelling in the air above the sea, trying to cross it for as fast as he could.

But after more moments of travelling, he suddenly felt a pair of powerful auras coming his way. He knitted his eyebrows at first when he felt those auras since he could feel some familiarity on them.

Given that, he forcefully stopped himself from further using his teleportation technique more and stood in the air, waiting for the incoming pair.

Not long after, he was finally able to see a pair of silhouettes coming from a distance and flying in the air with a great speed.

He then knitted his brow a little before squinting his eyes to use an observation technique. And that was when he finally discovered the identity of these two.

The pair was a man and a woman with powerful attainments in their respective disciplines. Not long after, they finally arrived in front of King Jesse.

“Brother Jesse, what are you doing here? Why are you not in the kingdom?” said the beautiful woman right after arriving. Behind her was a handsome man who was bearing a mysterious and dangerous aura.

“Evangeline? What are you two doing here too? I am on my way to fetch the two of you since I need your help for something,” King Jesse said when he saw the pair.

Hearing him, the eyes of Evangeline suddenly turned wide as misunderstood his words. “What? Don’t tell me, those b*st*rds already invaded the Kingdom!? But we should still have a day or two before they arrive there.”

At this point, it was King Jesse’s turn to become surprised. “What are you talking about? I am not talking about any invasion. The favor that I want to ask you is to perform a ‘Meridian Blocking’ for my son.”

“He was born with a powerful Mentalism attainment, with his Mental Energy being in ‘divinity grade’. So, me and the Spiritual Master can’t do anything about it. That is why I am on my way to you, hoping that you are going to help me.”

Evangeline was stunned at first when she heard that, but she immediately took a sigh of relief when she heard that her fear hadn’t happened yet.

And when King Jesse saw that expression on her face, he suddenly knitted his eyebrows before saying. “So, what do you mean about the invasion? Someone still has the guts to mess with us even if they saw how we crush all of the other organizations who tried to invade us before.”

Being reminded, Evangeline’s face suddenly turned solemn before she said with a serious tone. “We don’t have much time to talk more about that, we now need to go back to the Kingdom as soon as possible. I will explain to you the details while we are travelling.” 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

Feeling the gravity of the situation, King Jesse nodded his head heavily before turning around to travel back with them.

But before they could even continue, Evangeline suddenly noticed the man behind her knitting his eyebrows. Seeing that, she turned her head at him before asking. “What’s the problem, Adam? Is there something wrong?”

Hearing her, Adam suddenly looked at her with his knitted eyebrows before saying. “Honey, I guess you need to go with him for now. I will catch up with the two of you later after I am done dealing with those guys on our tail.”

Evangeline also knitted her eyebrows for a moment when he heard him. But not long after, she also realized what he was talking about when she turned her head in the direction where they came from.

She slightly squinted her eyes while looking at that direction before activating a special ocular technique. And that was when she saw a large group of military fleets coming from that direction.

This time, the expression on her face suddenly turned heavy the moment she saw those large military ships. “Looks like those b*st*rds are really declaring war with the Kingdom.”

Hearing her, Adam suddenly took a helpless sigh before saying. “I already told you. Those idi*ts are not going to let such a powerful nation continue its existence. If they can’t seize it for themselves, then they rather destroy it completely than to let it become a knife that may threaten them in the future.”

“Those guys are that greedy. They are going to destroy everything on their path as long as they could maintain their ‘seats’ on that ‘throne’.”

Then he shrugged his shoulders a little before adding to his words. “Look at us for example. We save their faces by defeating ‘Jan Manteo’ and his ‘Dark Hall’ before, yet those greedy b*st*rds choose to hunt us down for wanting to know our secrets instead of thanking us for what we have done for them.”

“Do you know how Shameless is that? So, how can they let such a powerful Kingdom who uncover most of the mysteries about Mentalism continue to exist. If they can’t lay their hands on those things, then they are not going to let others have it either.”

After saying that, Adam took a resentful sigh before waving his at the two. “Okay, you two need to hurry and leave now as soon as possible. We still don’t know if the World Government is going to send their most hidden cards yet. So, make sure to be careful.”

He paused for a brief moment to lean his head to the side, looking over Evangeline’s shoulders before saying to King Jesse. “Jesse, I can trust you to take care of my wife while I am not around, right?”

“If I discovered that something serious happened to her when I arrived in your Kingdom-…”

He trailed his words for a few more seconds before tapping the left side of his chest while saying. “I can’t promise you that I can hold myself back. So, I trust you to abandon that Kingdom along with your most loyal citizens to avoid any kind of ‘accidents’ from happening.”

Right after those words left his mouth, Adam suddenly sensed that one of Evangeline’s fists was currently swinging down towards his head with a great speed. He could avoid that if he wanted to, but he chose not to dodge.

Pak!

“What do you think you are doing to scare him like that?” said Evangeline with a furious tone after smacking Adam’s head.

She then took a helpless sigh before saying. “Gosh! I really don’t know what to do to you.”

And with a humph, she suddenly turned her body around before saying to him. “Just make sure to take care of yourself.”

After that, she didn’t say anything more and immediately flew towards the Solomon Kingdom. And when King Jesse saw that, he took another look at Adam and nodded his head before chasing after her.

Meanwhile, Adam watched them leave while scratching his cheek with his finger while wearing an embarrassed smile on his lips.

He stayed standing on his spot for a few more moments before turning around and looked at the direction where the military fleets were coming from.

A moment later, he muttered to himself with full of displeasure. “These guys sure know how to ruin my mood every time. So, this time, I am going to make sure that you are not going to forget about this lesson.”

He waited for the military fleets to arrive before lowering his altitude in the air. Due to that, it was natural for the observers of the ships to spot him on the air. And when they reported it to the respective captains of the ships, the whole fleet came into a sudden halt.

Moments later, a group of people suddenly flew in the air and stood in front of Adam with full of hostility. And from the looks of it, all of them were powerful individuals and seemed to be the captains of those ships.

“To think that the famous ‘Heavenly Demon’ is going to appear right in front of us. Now, you save us all the trouble of looking for you,” said one of the guys who were standing in front of Adam.

At the same time, another guy suddenly added. “Are you willing to turn yourself in now?”

Hearing those words, Adam felt an urge to laugh out loud. But he refused to do so, because he was really in a very bad mood right now.

Instead, he scratched his cheek with a finger before saying. “I heard that mistakes make everyone stronger. But how come you guys are still too weak despite bumping at me every time? Moreover, you guys are seemingly becoming more and more stupid every time I saw all of you.”

And with a helpless sigh, he put both of his hands on his waist before shaking his head a little. “Tsk! Are you guys a ‘Bonsai’ or something? Because you all seem unable to grow any larger than you currently are.”

BOOM!

Hearing those insults, the captains of the ships standing a few meters in front of Adam simultaneously release their respective ‘Natural Forces’, feeling provoked and furious. And due to the powerful auras that each of them was releasing, the area surrounding this place suddenly turned dark due to the pressure.

BOOM!

But that pressure was immediately pushed back and subdued the moment Adam released his own Natural Force. And together with the killing intent hidden within the pressure that he was releasing, the whole area suddenly turned cold and chilly.

Feeling the pressure that was coming from his body, the opposing side couldn’t help but see an illusion of a colossal demon standing right in front of the whole fleet and looking down at all of them as if they were insects that could easily be crushed.

“Have all of you guys already written your ‘last will and testament’? Because if you don’t, you are not going to have time to write them down anymore,” said Adam with a cold tone while looking at everyone with a fierce glare.
