Chapter 426: Tragedy

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Eric was the leader of the Roth Financial Group and was extremely influential.

With just a few phone calls, the police surrounding the castle left in an instant.

Furthermore, many groups of construction workers promptly arrived and began restoration works for the castle. They quickly erected the tent outside the partially destroyed castle and invited Fang Yuan and Lucy to have some tea.

"This Angel...

"

The rich tycoons were indeed luxurious and Lucy could not stop herself from enjoying all the delicacies.

Fang Yuan paid no attention to the food and focussed on the little girl, whose powers were to erase other's special abilities.

'It seems like her ability cannot be controlled by her own will and is always active... Furthermore, the area affected is a radius of about 200 to 300 metres. The nearer a mutant gets to her, the stronger the disturbance.

"Respectable Mister Lei...

"

Eric's voice was shaking.

"When I first found Angel, she was already in this state...

"

Eric was afraid that Fang Yuan would wrongly assume that he had tortured this girl.

"I know...

"

Fang Yuan casually picked up a piece of cake. As the girl sniffed the fragrant cake, she delightfully gobbled it up.

"Such level of maturity... She is only like a 4 to 5 years old kid. Could it be due to the fact that her special ability is too strong and is hindering her growth?

"

Thinking to himself, Fang Yuan began to formulate a few plans to allow him to aid Angel in growing up properly.

'This is great... I am interested in researching on such a rare special ability.'

"There's another thing!

"

Eric picked up a phone call and had an embarrassed look on his face.

"The police of Ivy City will no longer find trouble with you. However, there is a group of people from the Black Man Society. They have just landed at the airport and are rushing down now. The one leading them is Golden Lion Barton!

"

As soon as Eric mentioned the name, William, who was standing behind him all the while, twitched. One could tell that he had once suffered under Barton before.

Of course, now, both Eric and Lucy were not worried a single bit.

After all, to them, Fang Yuan was an almighty 4th Tier mutant. Together with Angel, the weakness of all mutants, even if the entire Black Man Society were to combine forces with White Pigeon Society, they could do nothing to harm Fang Yuan.

"Alright... I've troubled you for quite a while. It's time for me to take my leave!

"

Fang Yuan toyed around with a golden sceptre in his hands.

"I have one last question... Where did this blue gem come from?

"

"This is... the tears of the River of West Flor?

"

Eric was stunned.

"This is my latest collection. The gem on it is rumoured to have been found from the River of West Flor...

"

The River of West Flor was a huge river in the Golden Eagle Federation as well as Flor State. The people specially built a reservoir around it, turning it into a popular tourist destination, so popular that even Fang Yuan had heard of its name before.

"I see! It's the River of West Flor, right?

"

Fang Yuan lowered his head and gave a mysterious smile.

...

"We're here... Roth's Castle!

"

Not long after, a black sedan car arrived at the castle and an explosive Barton came out of the car.

"No matter who it is, whoever dares to step on the toes of the Black Man Society will have to die!

"

"Black Bird!

"

"Don't worry, boss!

"

A lack pigeon landed and transformed into a human shape.

"Although I am afraid of going too near, I can ascertain that the other party is still in the garden and has yet to leave!

"

"Very good!

"

Barton stripped his windbreaker from his body, revealing his golden muscles.

"Although I don't know why they have reconciled, even if the Roth Family wants to protect him, no matter how powerful that William and his metalbending skills are, he is no match for my defence!

"

In the Black Man Society, Barton was in the top five most powerful mutants. Because of his special ability, he was able to perfectly counter William's ability.

"Bang!

"

However, at this point in time, a huge armoured vehicle roared to life and rushed out of the garden.

"Boss... Those people are Barton and his men from the Black Man Society!

"

Lucy drove the car and her voice was shaking.

"Roll over them!

"

Fang Yuan carried Angel in his arms and casually commanded Lucy to squash Barton over like how he would squash a worm.

"That's Lei, he's in the car!

"

A few investigators held their monocles up and were certain.

"Fire!

"

"Bang! Bang!

"

Bullets landed on the car but were deflected by a layer of water membrane and did little damage.

"Hehe...

"

Barton scoffed and the hair around his body started to grow, forming a golden armour around him. Without fear, he rushed towards the armoured vehicle.

"Stop!

"

His defence was not only tougher than a diamond, he had already flipped the heaviest tank in the Federation before. He was like a fearless giant as he rushed towards the Humvee.

"This is... such a tragedy...

"

Lucy closed her eyes and did not dare to witness what was about to come.

"Bang!

"

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the car windows.

The defeated Barton flew out like a broken gunny sack. Rolling on the floor, he was subsequently crushed by the Humvee into a pile of bloodied mess.

"Is this a joke?

"

"Oh Lord!

"

Across the street, the entire group of men from the Black Man Society were stunned and their jaws were almost dislocated from their mouths.

"Barton has been crushed to death? Is this an April Fool's joke?

"

"Don't slow down, rush towards them!

"

Fang Yuan waved his hands and an invisible force started to clear the bullets and obstacles ahead of the Humvee.

Lucy followed his command and sped all the way up to 80 miles an hour.

"Bang!

"

"Bang! Bang!

"

Lucy's hands shook and she felt as though she was playing bumper cars.

As blood spewed everywhere, Lucy had to activate the windscreen wipers to clean up the windshield. At this point in time, another mutant was helplessly ran over. One by one, the rest of them were slowly being squashed under the car.

"This is... this feeling...

"

Lucy blushed and as her body shook, there was a wet stain on her pants.

"This woman...

"

Fang Yuan was observing her all this while and was now speechless. 'Is this a newly discovered weird ability of hers?'

"Lord...

"

In the castle, Eric witnessed everything before quickly passing down instructions to his subordinates.

"Get the helicopter here to evacuate me!

"

No matter how much he could explain, the fact that so many members of the Black Man Society died at his castle would bring him much trouble and therefore, he had to hide.

...

After a few hours.

A few black dots appeared in the sky and slowly landed towards the ground.

They were wearing protective suits and appeared different from the rest.

As they examined the mess lying all around, one would still be able to see their disgusted faces through the protective glass layer of the suit.

"Barton...

"

One of the higher-ups spat a mouthful of saliva as he looked at the bloodied mess.

"Who would've known that he would die just like that, like a shattered watermelon... That d*mn girl...

"

"No one would know that she would end up in the hands of the Roth Family...

"

Another man in a black suit sighed.

When Angel was first discovered, there was an uproar in the mutant community. Many organisations were after her, but the outcome would always be a massacre.

They would never know that all that had happened before were only an illusion and that the Roth Family was the ultimate winner.

Of course, Eric was extremely cunning and careful as well. Even though he was a tycoon, he knew that he was nothing if the Federation were to combine forces with the Black Shirt Society. Therefore, he had diligently kept the fact that he had Angel and even William was unaware of it.

"Even with this secret weapon, the Roth Financial Group is still defeated...

"

"However, we have some findings. Although Angel's ability is devastating, it cannot be replicated. Furthermore... As long as one has this Separation Suit or is a 4th Tier mutant, one would be assured that one's special ability would not be affected...

"

At this point in time, another member of the Black Man Society took out his satellite phone.

"Society leader... What should we do next? That Lei... he seems to have broken through to the 4th Tier!

"

"In this world, no one would be able to break through to the 4th Tier before the third occurrence!

"

The black figure in the screen was composed.

"Other than our newest weapon! Lei's ability had indeed exceeded my expectations... Regardless if we are dealing with him or Angel, we have to quicken our plan!

"

"Deliver all the remains of our members and their DNA into the Flor Reservoir! One Barton will be very useful to us!

"

"It's for the Demon Weapon, right? I know!

"

The man in black took a bow and his heart shook in fear.

"Sigh... I've heard so many secrets! Didn't you say that the stand of the Black Man Society is that all mutants are brothers-in-arms? And now, you want to use your own member's body for experimentation...

"

Suddenly, a childish voice was heard from the side.

Lorita stood out of the shadows. She was wearing a black princess dress, red leather shoes and held an umbrella in her hands. Like a little princess on a field trip, she licked her lips and her eyes turned bloodshot.

"This is... disgusting!

"

"It's the second-in-command of the White Pigeon Society, Blood Lady!

"

A few higher-ups of the Black Man Society had a change in their expressions.

"King of Myriad Thoughts, bring everyone and leave!

"

"Understood!

"

One of them snapped their fingers and a huge force was felt.

In an instant, the few of them and even the broken bones and flesh on the ground started to levitate.

"Why are you in a rush? Let's play a game!

"

Lorita smiled sweetly and the shadow behind her started to grow in size. As it started to spread out, it was like a beast opening its mouth and attempting to swallow the entire sky.

"Kacha!

"

After a loud snap, everything reverted to normal.

"Old man... why did you stop me?

"

Lorita turned around and saw a displeased old and frail looking society leader of the White Pigeon Society.

"We are not prepared. Starting the war prematurely is not something both sides would want... furthermore…...

"

He gazed into the direction which Fang Yuan had left and his face was filled with worry.

"Interesting... hehe... this is really interesting!

"

Seeing this, Lorita felt as though she had found a new toy.

"Do you feel fear from Lei's powers? That stupid man... Hmph, how dare he take away my Lucy from me. I will not let him go!

"
