nWhen Michael entered the restaurant and started walking towards the tables, he could immediately feel a pair of eyes looking at him. When he turned around to look at the source of these eyes, he could see two girls staring at him. One of them was blonde and the other was red hair. Obviously, both of them were super hot but Michael was not in the mood to enjoy their beauties as they could simply kill him like swatting a fly as the blonde was at the Core Formation level 6 and the red hair was at Core Formation level 3.

nAt the moment, two of them were checking him out and not in a good way.

n

"Take a seat

" the blonde one gestured at Michael. She had shiny blonde hair, perfect facial structures, and silky smooth skin. The red hair beside the blonde was even hotter and younger than the blonde.

n

"Huh?

" but when he took a step forward, he felt a tight grip around his hand and looked at Gaya who was shivering for some reason.

nAlthough she acted weird, he had his own problems now and walked towards the table without showing his worries on the face.

n

"System, at the sign of the first trouble, activate the teleportation scroll

"

nNoted!

nImmediately he noticed the tension in the hall and people in the restaurant tried their best not to look at the two girls and him. The atmosphere was quiet and gloomy like everyone was afraid of these two beauties.

n

"Sit down,

" the blonde one said as Michael calmly sat before them.

n

"Wine?

" the blonde girl asked but Michael shook his head.

n

"I don't drink booze, just water for me and waiter

" he signaled the waiter to come. One of the waiters slowly approached them

n

"Bring whatever my friend asks

"

n

"I'm... not... hungry

" The waiter was already tense and when he heard Gaya's cold voice, he didn't dare to talk back to her.

n

"What's your name? Your real name

" the blonde girl asked as Michael took a short sip of water

n

"Ghost, that's my name, I know it's hard to believe but that's the truth

" He tried hard not to sound arrogant. These two were not someone he could mess with, at least not yet.

nWarning! The system detected a telepathic intrusion! Firewall Activated

nThe system's level is too low to retaliate!

nThe system can only stop the telepathic Intrusion!

n

"This bitch is trying to hack me?

"

nFor a moment, the blonde seemed surprised but she quickly hid her surprise.

n

"You made name for yourself in this small kingdom, Ghost

"

n

"Thank you, Miss...

"

n

"You don't get to know my name, at least not yet

"

n

"Okay,

" He didn't know whether the blonde knows it or not but she sounded extremely overbearing.

n

"Is every pretty girl in this world an egoistic bitch? No, it can't be

" he sighed inside and thought.

n

"What do you want from me, Miss?

" Since these girls didn't even give their names, he was not in the mood for small talks.

n

"You don't have anything that we don't, Ghost

" The red hair girl snickered.

n

"My friend is right, Ghost. We don't want anything from you, on the contrary, we are here to give you something

"

n

"This is different

" Micheal thought in his mind and asked,

" what is it, Miss?

"

n

"How'd you like to join the Guardians Guild?

"

n

"Woah

"

n

"Holy moly!

"

n

"Guys, they are Guardians, holy **!

"

n

"I knew it

"

n

"What are they doing in Bradford?

"

n

"It seems they are here recruit Ghost to their guild

"

nThe people who were staring at them silently until now began to murmur immediately when they heard the blonde girl's last words. Unfortunately for Michael, Abras had no knowledge about the Guardian Guild; however noticing the people's reaction, he realized that it would be suspicious if he said he didn't know anything about the Guardian Guild.

nTherefore he decided to ask questions without revealing his lack of knowledge about their guild.

n

"Am I not too weak to join the Guardian Guild Miss?

"

n

"Of course you're too weak and that's why you won't join the Guardians

" The blonde's words confused him and looking at his expression, the girl put the wine glass in her hand down and explained

n

"We are searching for promising talents and forming a group of trainees to serve the Guild and Guardians

"

n

"Serve?

" he sneered inside and wanted to punch her in the face.

n

"What about after training, Miss?

"

n

"Why are you asking too many questions? You should be thankful for us to even consider you

" The red-haired girl lost her temper for a second and slightly raised her voice. If it was a normal circumstance and she was weak, he would have taught her a lesson. However, these two girls were extremely powerful and seemed to have a powerful guild behind them.

nAlthough the blonde girl didn't seem to like him asking questions, she still had a small smile on her face.

n

"After training, you will continue to work with your fellow trainees and serve the guild. The Guardians will evaluate your performance and if you're good enough, they might take you as their subordinate

" The girl made it sound being a subordinate as a huge honor and opportunity but Micheal didn't give a ** about their Guild. How could he serve someone else other than himself?

nYet, he had only one last question to ask before rejecting their offer

n

"Miss, can I ask you one last question?

" he asked humbly because he didn't want the two girls to get mad and attack him which would threaten his life.

n

"Go on

" the blonde girl nodded.

n

"Is there any chance for a trainee to become a Guardian?

"

n

"Hahaha

" the red-haired girl's eyes went wide for a moment as the blonde girl burst into laughter. Michael still had a calm face but he could sense Gaya was trembling.

nThe blonde girl stood up when she stopped laughing and put a silver round medallion on the table.

n

"If you want to join the Guild, bring this to the Capitol before tomorrow night

" In a flash, the two girls disappeared from the place leaving everyone stunned.

nHe took the medallion and saw a logo of a crown etched into the surface. After storing the medallion in the system storage, he stood up to leave the place but saw Gaya didn't move a muscle.

n

"Hey, come on, we are leaving

" he shook her shoulder and felt her body trembling.

n

"I know something's wrong but this is not the place, come

" He forced her up as she reluctantly followed him outside.

nWhen they stepped outside, Michael grabbed her hand and activated the Lighting dash. In a flash, he and Gaya left the place leaving a trail of dust.

nExcept for the stop he made in front of his store to leave a note for Daniel and Ricky, he dashed straight outside Bradford and reached the outskirts of the city.

n

"Alright, now we can walk and talk

" the outskirts of the city looked deserted and they had no one but trees to accompany them.

n

"What happened back there?

" He asked but she still remained silent which was a rare thing when it comes to Gaya.

nHe sighed

"usually I don't give a ** about your past but when it comes to my subordinates, I do give a **. So tell me before I make you

"

nAfter looking at his serious face, Gaya took a deep breath and opened her mouth

"The girl back there

"

n

"Which one? the blonde or the red hair?

"

n

"The red hair

" she gritted her teeth and said

n

"What about her?

"

n

"She is the reason for my state, human, she's my half-sister

" Michael halted his steps in surprise. He never expected this twist and now that he thought about this, it really made sense.

n

"So that's why you went quiet. You have to tell me what happened in Nagaland, what did you do?

" She hesitated to open up but Michael knew what would cheer her up and make her talk.

nHe retrieved a shiny white pill from the system storage. It was the cheap tier pill that would create a false sense of repairing her crippled meridians.

n

"If you tell me what happened, I will give you this pill I concocted just for you

" her face slightly lit up when she saw the pill and reached out to grab the pills.

n

"No flashback no pills

" the pill was too tempting for Gaya and looking at her expression, he laughed inside because it was like taking candy from a baby, he manipulated her easily.

n

"It all started...

"

n

"Short version would do, tell me only the good bits

"
