Chapter 784: Mess, Reunion
[A/N: Hehe, this will end in an unexpected manner. To be honest, I liked how I ended it. Sometimes, it’s good to write such characters and scenarios instead of repeating actions. Read this and the next chapter to understand what I mean.]
——
“Hehe, just a minute before this barrier breaks,” Starfinn licked his lips as he leaned back on the sofa with a wicked smile on his face.
“A minute left before you die,” Avelia coldly spoke as she took out her daggers.
The daggers were silver with black inscribed patterns on them. She held those two daggers in her hand as she infused her power in them.
…
“Do we stop Starfinn directly or let them fight for a bit?”
“Those daggers are quite powerful, it seems. Well, let them fight for a bit.”
…
On the other hand, Athan and others have entered the city after paying a fee.
“Athan, don’t get reckless in this city. There are many big shots here that we can’t afford to fight,” Komin said with a somber expression while following Athan.
“Hurry up,” Athan spoke as he continued flying in Avelia’s direction.
After two minutes, Athan stopped in front of a huge mansion.
“Is she inside this mansion?” Cromwer hurriedly asked with an anxious expression.
“Shit…this mansion clearly belonged to a Fear-level powerhouse,” Lienia cursed before she looked at Athan, “Athan, don’t be reckless. A Fear-level powerhouse can instantly kill us, and we won’t even know how we died.”
“If a Fear-level powerhouse got in my way, then he will have to kiss goodbye to his life,” Athan spoke in a cold tone as he walked into the mansion before arriving at its grand doors.
“Cough…Athan, don’t break into yet. Let’s just knock first,” Komin said with a cough as he moved forward and knocked.
“All of these mansions are sealed with plated barriers, so it’s not a good idea to attack it,” Lienia said as she frowned a bit.
…
“Die, bastard!” Avelia shouted as she was floating inside a mystical black cube with her daggers and changing her position as if teleporting from one place to another in the hall while releasing dark slashes towards Starfinn from her daggers.
“Y-you…,” Starfinn was livid as he wanted to go easy on her since he wanted her alive, but she was forcing his hand.
‘What the hell is this forcefield?’ Starfinn was having a hard time moving, and he was also feeling fear without knowing why. On the other hand, Avelia was showering attacks from her daggers without stopping.
On the other hand, Lulu heard a knock on the door and went to open it while trying to contact her father with a comm crystal, ‘Father…hurry up and accept the comm request. Why is he not accepting it this time?’
Actually, her father knew about the situation here, but he already had everything under control with those ten shadow guards he sent.
Lulu opened the door slightly, and right after that, the ten shadow guards also revealed themselves as they surrounded Avelia and Starfinn.
“Back off, young miss Lulu!” Two shadow guards appeared in front of her as they led her backward before standing in a defensive stance while looking at the slightly opened door since those shadow guards sensed the presence of people outside the door.
“What?” Starfinn was startled seeing shadow guards before he clicked his tongue, “tsk, shadow guards. I should have expected that.”
“Naive sister, father already knows about things happening here, but he didn’t stop it, hehehe,” Starfinn grinned before he saw the door opening and four people entering the hall.
“Ek…,” Cromwer almost choked as he used his unique technique to sense the power of those shadow guards who were not oozing out any aura, ‘guys!! There are three freaking Arbiter plane powerhouses. Let’s finish this as peacefully as possible.’
Lienia and Komin’s expressions changed because they really couldn’t sense the presence of those shadow guards, but since Cromwer said that, it must be true.
On the other hand, Athan saw Avelia surrounded by those shadow guards.
Looking at Athan, her body trembled as tears flowed out from her eyes, “Athan…,”
“How dare you!!” Starfinn saw this scene and grunted as she dashed towards Avelia.
Seeing that, Athan almost exploded with his origin baptism power, but one shadow guard was faster than him as he trapped Starfinn inside a transparent bubble before chaining him.
“What are you doing!? Release me!” Starfinn shouted while inside the bubble.
On the other hand, Avelia dashed towards Athan, but she was also blocked by the shadow guards as a barrier covered her. But she was not chained like Starfinn.
Athan’s expression turned dark as he spoke, “release her!”
“She is a special guest of Starling River Organization,” the strongest shadow guard indifferently spoke while talking with master Starzin via a method, ‘Master Starzin, four people have arrived here looking for lady Avelia. Lady Avelia also seems to be eager to meet with a man.’
‘Release her, dumbass.’
The shadow guard was stunned before he hurridly released Avelia.
“Athan!” Avelia arrived in front of Athan teary-eyed and hugged him tightly.
“I am here,” Athan closed his eyes and also hugged her tightly while caressing her back.
“You really took a long time!” Avelia spoke as she looked at Athan with a happy smile and wiped her tears before kissing Athan.
“ARGHHH! Release me!! SHE IS MINE!” Starfinn angrily shouted as he smacked himself in the bubble.
Athan glanced at Starfinn before he turned to those shadow guards, “send him away before I kill him.”
“Athan…that bastard couldn’t do anything to me, humph. He is just a brainless beast,” Avelia snorted as she stood alongside Athan and locked her arm with Athan’s arm before looking at Starfinn.
“Brother, you…,” Lulu also sighed as she shook her head as she also became teary-eyed, “how could you become like this? This is not you!”
Suddenly, a portal appeared in the circle that the shadow guards created.
From that portal, Starzin arrived with his hands behind his back.
A powerful presence spread in the entire hall as everyone felt a bit pressured.
After coming out of the portal, the first thing he did was walk toward Starfinn.
