CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: THE ANOMALY 4

Vice was now watching the pond waiting for Valeria to bring her friends to come.

He heard footsteps approaching him, he turned to see Valeria and Jones

"Valeria did you tell them what you were supposed to?" Vice looked at Valeria

"Yes I did but most of them don’t believe me" she didn’t look at him

"Who do they trust or who do they look up to?" Vice stood up

"A few trust me, Jones, Scarlet,Freya,Gordon and Luca" Vice squinted his eyes when she finished speaking

"Who’s Luca?" Vice walked closer Valeria

"Luca is the one who telling everyone that Valeria is lying, he’s telling everyone that the humans would never be able to poison our the whole forest" Jones answered

’Luca is a man of the people and seems to be capable but I can’t waste my time telling him to shut up’ Vice turned to Jones

"Can you kill him?" Jones nodded his head while Valeria eyes widened

"No if kill him no one will trust us just give me time I’ll convince him to stop" she tried to plead for Luca but Vice didn’t bother to look at her

Vice grabbed Jones shoulder then looked him in the eyes "Jones tell this Luca guy to come meet me at edge of the middle region with his trusted friends.."

"Why do you need to kill his friends?" she spoke but Vice didn’t bother looking at her as he kept speak to Jones

"When they are at the edge of the middle region you drag them into the core region and let the mana kill them make sure the is no blood you understand?" Vice stared at Jones waiting for answers

"Yeah but why can’t I just kill them in the middle region when no one is around?" Jones asked

"Because I want you to show their bodies to the others and tell them that they died from eating the poisined food so thats why you can’t leave any mark on their bodies to make it believable" Jones nodded his head

"I’ll need some help although they are not as strong as me it would be impossible to drag them into the core region without harming them by myself" Jones spoke

"Who do you think will do this without hasitation" Vice looked at the dungeon tab

"Gordon and Scarlet will do it if I explained it to them" Jones spoke

"Ok then I’ll turn Gordon, Scarlet and Freya into ratman when they are turned take Gordon and Scarlet to deal with this Luca" Jones nodded his head and walked away

Vice glanced at Valeria when he turned to face the lake "say what you want to say before I get annoyed"

Valeria crossed her arms "after killing them why do we have to show their bodies to other when we can just tell them that they die from poison"

"Because sometimes words are not enough some people need to see prof to believe something so the moment they see the bodies everyone will believe that the food is poisoned" Vice spoke

"Then after convincing them that the food has ran out where will they get food" she looked at his back

"Just say the core region trees are not poisoned and you’ll be getting food from here for those who grow stronger" he faced the pond

"Valeria you and Freya will be responsible for management" after he spoke Valeria left

Vice sat their enjoying the view ’I should train while’

He walked to the tree’s and began his training

***********

"Huff..huff..huf" Vice leaned against a tree ’my fighting style depends on my speed and skill thats why I have to always priorities my agility and mana’

As he leaned against the tree he felt droplets of water hit his head ’finally’ he smiled then stretched his body after that he walked to the edge of the core region

It was a slow walk he had to give Chris enough time to arrive to the core region

’Damn’ even after walking at the speed of a snale Chris had not arrived

’No matter how I think about it, it shouldn’t be possible for chris to get the cores in a single day something isn’t right’ he sat down and waited for Chris

After a while Chris appeared Vice smile when he saw the young man but the feeling wasn’t mutual

Chris clenched jaw and grinded his teeth when he saw Vice

"Here are the thing you want" Chris took out two large purple crystals and a stack of paper the moment Vice saw the paper his eyes were clued to it

"I don’t know why a monster is interested in human lives but I hope the bats and nagas give you a horrible death" those were Chris last words as he tore a scroll and vanished

Vice didn’t care about Chris words he ran to the papers and read

.....

...

"No no no this cant be right, it not right" Vice shock his head as he read the papers again but the third time he read the papers his hand clenched on to it, his nails were tearing the paper

His eyes widen every time he read the paper

The stack of paper spoke about how Nate and the twin humble porters saved S-Rank hunters from death, it spoke about how a greedy rouge hunter entered a SSS-Rank dungeon to rob it but bad publicity wasn’t the part that shocked him

As he read the papers he found that the twins were now S-Rank hunters and Nate was now an SS-Rank hunter and some how a student to an SSS-Rank hunter they were all core members of the Association

And Vice could never touch them in his wildest dream

"Thud"

Vice threw the paper to a tree

"FUUUCK!!" his veins were throbbing

"THEY CROSS ME AND BECOME HUMANITY CHAMPIONS!!!" He walked to a tree

"Thud..thud..thud"

"AND I BECAME A FUCKING RODENT FUUUUUCK!!" He punched the tree until his hands bled

.....

...

After a while his hand went limb, he stared at the ground with lifeless eyes

’The has to be something I can do I’ll even make a deal the devil to get them’
