"Larson Complex is now under quarantine when an intense earthquake hit the area causing a gas explosion on the dical Center of Larson. Due to the sensitive research being conducted on that area, the Governnt has sanctioned to isolate it fearing that the chemicals and airborne diseases in that area could kill people.. Staley Kitfield, head of public relations of Larson Conglorate has released an official statent." A young female reporter narrated.
The screen shifted to a tall, respectable middle-aged woman with jet black hair.
"The Earthquake apparently damaged the large drainage system which keeps the complex flood-free. Our engineers had developed a large flood basin underground the entire complex leading to the Yangtze River. The reports suggest that the Earthquakes strength was amplified due to the hollow water basin. Though the integrity of the buildings above the complex managed to withstand the shock, this led to another accident creating an explosion damaging the dical center. This has only proven that even the slightest laxities can cause great commotions. This is a lesson hard-learned by our company and we will ensure that this won't ever happen again."
The screen returned to the female reporter.
"A lesson hard-learned indeed. Owen Larson, CEO, and founder of Larson Conglorate could not be reached for a statent. The explosion led to an accident due to the tragic accident of his son and daughter, Granite and Orea Larson. It was found that during the evacuation, the helicopters that were evacuating the two crashed sowhere in the Yangtze River. The community in Nanjing had set out a volunteer search party to search through the Yangtze as the helicopter that these two used reportedly crash so 2 kiloters as it was transporting the two to the south."
"Tina, this is just devastating. Larson Conglorate has been one of the most outstanding business companies that One China has ever created."
"Indeed it is. Owen Larson has yet to release an official statent. Our deepest condolences to the Larson families. This continues to remind us of that age-old question which continues to haunt Christianity; if there is a God, why would He allow bad things to happen to good people?"
Lynd laughed at the reporter's comnt.
"You know, I just noticed how even the news reports are pretty anti-Christian or anti-Semitic." Lynd laughed.
"It makes sense. Must be their doing. These small subtle statents can only add to cent the faithless and shake the resolve of the faithful." ryl sighed.
"Since when are you so poetic?"
"Ugh. Haven't you been doing our howork? I just read the email from the Principal. He's one of the few who knows that Alean is still alive and has sent us the howork we need to finish. We have a lot catch up with. I've been doing eight essays about my opinions in history! That's why my English is a bit dramatic. I have to deal with that advanced mathematics howork next!" ryl frowned as she continued to write.
"You're still doing howork?" Cliff was surprised.
"Yes. We can't abandon our student identities after all. What are you going to do to hide your identity? We can't afford to leave any suspicious traces. It might draw more attention."
"Oh. That. I've already finished all that including the math howork." Lynd shrugged.
"How? Those were the-" Then ryl realized it.
"No fair! You just simulated Arthur! That's cheating! That's cheating!"
Lynd gave a hearty laugh.
Cliff didn't know where to begin and he simply kept his mouth shut.
Suddenly, three tall n barged in the lounge where the trio was staying at.
The three wore similar black outfits. The synthetic, leather-like feel added with the strange bulks on certain parts of the suit made it obvious that several of the most expensive technologies in the world has been applied on these suits.
Leading the group was a middle-aged blind man. The person next to him was a man who looked like on his early 20's. He had a bulky, and larger right hand. The last person wore a strange mask to conceal his face.
"Hi, Shock. Looks like you brought your friends with you." Lynd smiled as he approached the familiar assassin who guided them inside the room they were staying in.
The man with the bulky, large hand didn't smile and gave Lynd a strange look.
"Sorry for the doubtful treatnt. I had to verify if you are indeed one of Arthur's peers. Your superiors brought quite a trouble in Nanjing." Shock spoke with a serious tone.
"Oh… So that whole thing in the news was caused by our Arthur?" Lynd laughed.
"Man… I wished I went with them." Cliff sighed.
"It seems you two have grown stronger…" The blind man spoke.
"I don't believe we've t." ryl tried to recognize the blind man before him.
"Sting. I've briefly t Young Master Seeker."
"Oh! You must be that guy Seeker fought in Harker's base! I heard you managed to wound him!" Lynd smiled.
"I rely scratched his skin." Sting laughed. Shock and his other companion gave a curious stare at Sting.
"As expected of Young Master Arthur. He created quite a commotion. We will be escorting you to et with them now. They have arrived." Sting smiled as he respectfully led the group outside.
anwhile, outside the large land that belonged to Greydon ng, several buildings were secretly taken over as a totally new set of characters observed the area.
"How's the situation?" Pridgeon returned to the main headquarters for this operation.
"Presider, a few hours ago, three individuals walk into the base. We cannot identify them as they were wearing specialized suits. For so reason, they were accommodated inside without any conflicts."
"What?" Larson was surprised.
"Why would they be? Those ought to be Richie's disciples! Why were they granted entry?"
"Pioneer Larson, we are unsure, Sir! But based on the satellite feeds, the three were treated respectfully before they were accommodated inside the building."
"That's strange… Were there no High-tech resonances from our scans?" Pridgeon asked.
"Sir, the scanners are not detecting any high-tech devices outside of ng's organization. These places are clean."
"So these three went inside without having any support or backup. That ans that ng trust these three. If such a secret organization trust those three, then they are either one of ng's top n or are a very important guest." Madelyn concluded.
"Could they be from the Governnt?"
"I doubt it, Presider. The relationship between the two isn't that good."
"Sir, another group has arrived and is entering ng's fortress."
The satellites zood on the images of a group of six entering ng's gates. All of them wore masks. The six were t by a group of soldiers. Leading the group were five masked figures who wore the sa suit the six were wearing.
"The two at the side fit the physical descriptions of the one ones who attacked. That one should be Specter and that should be Trigger."
"So there were six of them who attacked? One of them should be the killer of your kids Larson. Why the hell didn't you put so video feeds on your Underground base?"
"Presider, the Governnt in One China has required that all video channels and network be monitored. Unless I have a server and internet source of our own, then I won't be able to do so." Larson's expression was raging at the sight of the six.
"Then why is ng allowed to have this network? Is the Chinese Governnt so afraid of ng?"
"It's because of the contributions of his father, Nogard ng. We've also received information that Greydon carries out assassinations requested by the Governnt." Madelyn answered seeing Larson buried in his rage.
"I see. So these two are this formidable. If none of the Pioneers enjoy this benefit and he does, that ans he still holds more authority here in China. His death will be very beneficial to us."
"ng! Rosa says, Hi!" A loud and thundering voice shouted. This loud and explosive voice could even be heard inside the secret safe room where Pridgeon presided.
The loud voice commanded domineering power as it raced across the block. It was as if the entire area was shaking.
"It's Richie!" Larson shouted in delight.
"Impossible!" A grave look appeared on Pridgeon's eyes. Seeing the power of Richie's voice shocked the Presider who holds countless technology.
"We found him!"
The satellite focused on a building near the main gate.
"Why aren't there any reactions from our scanners?"
On top of the building, a figure stood tall. Suddenly he disappeared as he started zooming towards the base.
With a powerful shout, the glasses and lenses of the various caras and CCTV's in the area started cracking.
"Sir! We're losing visuals! Only the satellite feeds remain! Should we send the drones?"
"No. We can't risk getting detected. Let them fight."
"Richie?!" Force shouted in surprise as he turned around.
"Get ready!" One ordered.
The four masked n who awaited them imdiately moved with Force and One.
"What's going on?" Arthur asked in confusion.
"That's Richie. The strongest independent assassin." Force spoke with a grim voice.
A figure appeared on the top of the high walls which guarded the entire base. The soldiers below it scrambled and started shooting the enemy.
Far out from the wall, near the entrance to the main building, were the seven assassins who were with Arthur's group.
The figure stood silently and seed to be observing the group.
"Get back! He's not soone you can handle!" One moved quickly in front of Arthur.
"Twister, Clutch, Specter. Support us. Strike and Force, join for the lee. Use all techs available. Kill him imdiately. Blur, you're the fastest. Contact the others and get Master. We will try to buy you so ti." One ordered imdiately. The group imdiately took out their own sets of weapons.
"Fire at will!" The leader of the soldiers below the wall ordered as he pointed towards this mysterious figure on top of the wall.
But as the guns started firing, the figure disappeared from the area and a sonic boom could be heard.
"Attack!" One ordered.
A powerful burst appeared on Blur's boots as he zood towards the main building.
Surprisingly, Lowengren was already standing right on Blur's path. He was already throwing a strange, familiar red and white ball.
"Voltorb! Self-destruct!"
BOOM! The whiplash bomb created another loud sound.
Blur managed to retreat on the last second as another burst appeared on his forearm pushing him backward.
One and the rest were surprised at the sudden attack and imdiately Twister and Clutch turned around as the remaining assassins rushed towards Richie.
A large windmill-blade appeared on Twister's arm as he threw it towards Lowengren.
The windmill's blade started spinning and it was moving as it had a mind of its own. But Lowengren didn't even move.
BANG!
The windmill was shot down and a fiery explosion threw the windmill off-course.
Alean held two large pistols and started shooting Clutch but Clutch sohow disappeared amidst a purplish smoke bomb. The purple smoke then started burning as the shots Alean fired exploded like napalm.
The figure that stood on top of the walls also vanished as it broke through the sound barrier.
One could still see the movent and let out a loud shout as he readied his Iai drawing technique. Force and Strike readied their attacks as well.
A black-red whip appeared on Strike's hand as he prepared whipped it forward. Force's two hands were glowing with a reddish glow.
But Arthur imdiately intercepted Force. He held a vibrating mace which was also emitting electrical charges.
Lander was zooming high above and also intercepted Strike as he unleashed a barrage of attacks with his trademark spin.
"Why?!" Force cursed at Arthur.
One was also confused at the sudden attacks. But he could not ignore the approaching threat in front of him.
Specter imdiately appeared on top of One as the two zood to et the arriving figure. Though the speed was terrifyingly fast, the two had the capabilities of clashing with it.
BANG!
Arthur's mace t with Force's fist. A terrifying explosion rang out and Force stepped back.
Arthur who was also thrown out imdiately recovered and was rushing to clash once more.
"Why not?" Arthur asked as he smirked.
