The Ancient Genes

Chapter 666: The Old Kid

“Yeah, I remember it!”

The Old man’s face twitched for a second there but he still remained calm. “If you two are going to get in my way, I won’t show you mercy..”

“Look at this kid, he thinks he can challenge us now that he has turned into an old fart.” The Storm Progenitor shook his head, “Kid, you are still at the Second Quarter of Ascension Realm. Around the middle stages, if you ask me. That certainly is impressive. But, I can still beat you to death with a slap.”

“Wanna give it a try?” He further asked while raising his palm.

The statement sure made the other guy’s face twitch once again.

“How many centuries was that ago?” The Old lady asked in surprise. She sure didn’t remember it. But, it must have been two hundred or more.

“What happened to you kid? We thought you ended up dead in the Cemetery..” The Storm Progenitor asked, looking at him in curiosity.

“I told you I am not that person..” These guy still insisted on it. He sure was not going down without a fight.

“This brat…” The Storm Progenitor was starting to lose his patience. He looked at one of the Supremes around and asked him to take Max and Naze away first. The two were two of the most talented in the younger generation. They couldn’t possibly lose them, especially after the two had completed their task of doing the impossible.

“That brat isn’t going anywhere..” The old man from the Yule family frowned and as he was about to move, he suddenly felt a chill behind his neck. That immediately made him stop dead in his tracks.

“Go and take a step ahead..” The Storm Progenitor asked with a smile as he stood behind him. But, that definitely didn’t seem like a smile to the other person. It was clearly a threat.

The old man looked at Max being taken with a frown on his face. But at the same time, he knew he couldn’t do anything to these people. He was doomed to fail today.

‘How in hell did I end up bumping into these old farts? Even if they are not dead, they should be in their graves..’ He muttered inwardly while looking at the two.

“I don’t know who you people are. But, I will let this go today.” He looked at the two, and then turned around to leave.

“Wait a minute..”

Well, it didn’t seem to be over yet.

“This lady is coming with us..” The old lady from Leviathan took Freya away from the old fellow when she sneakily revealed her token from the Ancient Family.

Freya finally felt relieved when she was in a safe position and was taken away as well.

The old man looked at the two Progenitors and grinded his teeth in anger.

“I will remember it..” He muttered in a grave tone before turning to leave.

“Wait a minute..”

It still wasn’t over yet.

“What do you need now?!” The old man suddenly turned around in anger, and the next instant a palm came and grabbed his head.

It immediately sent flashbacks through the old man’s head.

“Remembering the old times, kiddo?” The Storm Progenitor smiled at him. “Guess what, you are coming with us too.”

The old man’s eyes immediately widened in surprise.

But, he couldn’t resist at all. Even all his energy was clamped down by another overbearing energy

‘Sh*t! No one told me about this!!!’

…

On the other side..

Erina’s eyes slowly opened. She was finally awake. ‘Uh..when did I fall asleep?’

She blinked a few times to properly regain the clarity, and when she finally did, she froze.

Axel was there right in front of her. He was sitting on the stool with his arms on the bed, and his head laying down on it. He seemed to have fallen asleep as well. And, why wouldn’t he. He hadn’t slept for five days.

Two day in the express car were hell. He couldn’t sleep properly. Then there was planning for the whole competition thing. Then the party night which sure was tiring, and straight after that he had to participate in the competition.

Could you blame him?

Not only was he sleep deprived but also exhausted.

When given a calm environment with nothing to do, it was obvious that he got drowsy and then fell asleep.

‘Wait! Why am I holding his hand?’ It was only now that she realized that she was grabbing his hand, and he had his cheeks laid over them.

‘Should I wake him up?’ She looked at him in hesitation. She couldn’t pull her hands out like this without lifting his head.

‘I can feel his breath..’

Erina could feel his breath on her arm, and a bit over her face as well. She had been sleeping on her side with her arms a bit away but next to her face. So you could imagine the situation she was in.

She could probably define Axel’s facial feature in a two page essay in this situation.

‘He..doesn’t look bad..’ Erina stopped struggling and just stayed like that while looking at him.

‘Only if he talked in a pleasing manner as well..’ She shook her head with a smile. No matter how much she had fought with the guy, he seemed to have come every time to her help when she needed it. She definitely couldn’t deny that fact.

“I wonder what’s going on back at home. The competition would be in Ocien as well. I don’t wanna return…” She muttered with a sad sigh. She didn’t want to involve Wilson in this match making thing as well. Neo had tried to kill him once, and he had already suffered a lot. She didn’t want to see him sad anymore now that he had found a dependable group of friends.

But, she was still there all alone. And, now she was even pushing Wilson away.

“Only if he would do the job of a boyfriend and protect me..” She looked at the guy sleeping soundly on her hand with joking look on her face.

And, the once again sighed. She couldn’t hide her worries at all.

For a moment, there was a complete silence in the room as Erina stopped muttering.

She just turned her head towards Axel staring at him.

No one knew what was going through her head.

But, suddenly she moved her head closer to him, and then their lips touched. It last for couple of seconds before she pulled away and turned her head to the other side.

‘I must be going crazy. He is only here because he needed my help and we had the deal…’ Erina muttered inwardly as her hair laid over her face covering her expression.

But one thing was for sure, she was at the lowest moment of her life.

‘That didn’t just happen..’

Yup, this guy was not asleep.
