Multi-Gene

Slapping David didn’t make him keep quiet, instead, David didn’t stop smiling, gazing at him like he was stupid.

Alan felt something was wrong, but he couldn’t say exactly what is.

“Young master, we should just check his ring and if he doesn’t have it, he will be free right?” Gordorf frowned slightly as he said this. He only agreed to capture David since the young master said he would only check his storage ring and return it soon after.

David turned towards Gordorf, slightly surprised. “I thought you were stupid but it turns out you are just naive. Do you think he will let me live even if he doesn’t find the key he’s searching for?”

“I said shut up!”

Pa!

David’s neck snapped to the side and his figure flickered like a hologram. The young master’s face changed slightly when he saw this.

“What’s this?” he immediately stretched his hands and grabbed at David’s ring. But while David’s hands seem real, the ring on his hand wasn’t.

“Impossible!” The young master’s eyes turned red as he stared viciously at David who was still smiling at him.

“What is it, young master?” Rutherford asked in confusion, waking forwards to grab David’s ring, but his hands simply passed through the ring.

“It’s only- “tTeela wasn’t able to finish her words when the young master completed it.

“-a clone.” The team gazed down at David in shock. They didn’t think such ability existed. They had seen genes that allowed one to have multiple clones, but they had never seen one that looked so real. It could even talk and react back to their words. The blood it spat on the ground after taking damage from Alan’s slap was very real. Even Teela couldn’t help but be surprised

David’s figure began to flicker more intensely as the mental energy imbued in it was getting exhausted.

“Isn’t his gene map a Werewolf? How come he is able to create realistic clones like those of the Wu clans. I doubt theirs is as realistic as this.” Gordorf said, he was truly impressed.

“This isn’t a genetic ability, it’s a Mental Art.” The young master managed to reign in his anger as he replied.

David was impressed. “As expected of the Prince of the Kirrin Family, you are not lacking in knowledge.”

“Mental art? The power system of the Azure Cloud continent?” Rutherford added.

The young master stared at the still kneeling David. His face was calm once more. “Let me apologise to you for my previous behaviour, being away from the palace made me easily irritable, but all that is gone now.”

He bent down towards David’s level. “If you have the key with you, I’m willing to give you a hundred million Star Coin for your troubles, what do you say?”

David blinked his eyes, a slight smirk on his face. “I’m not with the key. Moreover, even if I have the key with me, now that I know how valuable it is, why would I release it to you? Question Teela about it, I suspect she’s with it.”

“Don’t let me find you.” His voice was so low, but the threat within it made the team shivered. They knew if David was captured, he would suffer a fate worse than death. Once they go back to the outside world, he would certainly be hunted down until he’s either dead or captured.

BANG!

David’s body exploded into a massive wave of mental energy and genetic energy. That was the way he made the clone even more realistic.

Inside the first prison, David inhaled deeply and his eyes snapped open, anger within them. He had done everything within his power to cope with the young master and the team to avoid a situation like this, but even after enduring the insufferable Rutherford, he had still made an enemy out of the Kirrin Family.

Maybe it was meant to be like that in the first place. A larger key appeared in David’s palm. He had no idea if this was the key, but he was pretty sure it might actually be the key.

David hurried out of the prison, making his way outside the hallway. He arrived at the large golden door that he saw the first time he came here.

He gazed at the six other doors, there were twenty-some people who came out here to rest or still haven’t decided to go in.

As the crowds saw David walking out alone. No one said anything nor asked any questions.

David was still deciding which door to enter next when a group of five walked right in front of him.

“You must have gotten some good stuff from the prison right? Release your storage rings to us and maybe we will consider letting you live?” The leader of the group of five was a middle-aged man with a mouthstach. The others within the group seem old also.

It was no surprise since only Integrated Realm and above are allowed here and mostly those at the Integrated Phaser stage are quite old. Unlike geniuses that could easily reach the Integrated Phaser stage at a young age.𝓷𝒐𝓥𝓔𝑙𝔫𝓮xt.𝓬𝒪𝕞

David’s eyebrows rise in surprise, “Are you robbing me?”

“Don’t be daft boy, we only want to keep your treasure for you. Do you see those big brothers and sisters, they might want your treasure for themselves.” One of the lackeys spoke to David as though they truly wanted to help him.

David chuckled when he heard this. “This is a new style, I should probably learn it just in case.”

Seeing David laugh, the lackeys were surprised and their eyes darkened. “Seems like you want this the hard way.”

One of them stretched out their hands and grabbed at David’s finger.

David’s face turned solemn. “What’s with you guys and my storage ring?” he grabbed the man’s hand with lightning-quick reflex and immediately twisted it.

Crack! Ahhhhh!

A miserable shriek echoed through the large hall. As the man’s entire arms wrapped like dough.

“You dare!?”
