"Huh? The Syndro has an offer for ? That's surprising, I guess," Ma Feng said as he sipped the wine from the cup in his hand.
The ssenger, clad in a black robe, crossed his legs while sitting on the chair, directly facing Ma Feng.
The ssenger brought out a letter, which he handed over to Ma Feng. Ma Feng grabbed the letter and dropped the burger he held onto the table. He cleaned his hands before opening the letter to read its content.
"What's this?" Ma Feng asked.
"The Syndro has given you two options, Ma Feng. This is an invitation letter. Our leader has requested your recruitnt into the Syndro. It seems like he has found good use for you and now wants you," the ssenger said.
Ma Feng read the letter and then chuckled out loud. He laughed so hard that he choked on his food before dropping the letter on the table. He picked up his burger and began munching on it again.
"A direct invitation by a powerhouse like the Syndro. It's quite surprising that I got chosen by the Syndro without even doing anything. And besides, if I recall, the Syndro was the one who attacked ," Ma Feng said.
He wore a dark grin on his face while glancing at the ssenger with the side of his eyes. This ssenger was a student of the Assassin Departnt—he could tell by his style and deanor.
"Yes, I'm aware of that. But you should also know that you were at fault," the ssenger said.
"I was at fault? Can you enlighten on how I was the one who was at fault?" Ma Feng asked, continuing to munch on his burger. He licked his lips after devouring the entire thing without hesitation.
"A few nights ago, you ambushed a scouting troop of the Syndro and went face to face with our leader. That attack was a simple payback for ssing with the Syndro in the first place," the ssenger said.
"Oh, now I get it. No wonder that mysterious being was able to escape my ti stoppage. He isn't an ordinary being. And if I recall, his na is... what's his na again? I've forgotten," Ma Feng said.
"While this eting is held... you are forbidden to ntion any nas!" the ssenger said.
"Well, well. You don't have to warn about that already since I'm also aware of the Underworld. But you should know —I won't join the Syndro at all. It's not even my type of society," Ma Feng said.
"You said there are two options involving this eting. What's the second option? I'm sure it's not the option of facing death once I reject the Syndro's invitation?" Ma Feng asked as he licked his lips.
"Damn it... this food is too delicious," Ma Feng said with a smile on his face.
"The leader had doubts that you would accept the offer, so he prepared a second option. He wants you to take out one man for him—a man who's hindering the works of the Syndro in the daylight," the ssenger said.
"And who might that be?" Ma Feng asked.
"His na is Jo Jing, Crown Prince of the Marcel Kingdom and the President of the Punishers. The Punishers are the school board opposing complete control by the Underworld—and he must be stopped," the ssenger said.
"So your boss wants to take out the eldest son of the man who adopted ? He's supposed to be my elder brother. That's an impossible option. Your boss should think well next ti," Ma Feng said.
He stood up from the chair after dusting his shirt and licking his lips. Ma Feng turned to walk away, then halted as a dagger was positioned near his neck. Ma Feng slowly turned his eyes.
He saw the ssenger pointing the dagger at him with a dark smile plastered on his lips as he laughed evilly. Ma Feng could feel the murderous intent in the air and took a deep breath.
"What are you doing? You're forgetting that we're still in school?" Ma Feng asked.
"The Syndro isn't called the Kingdom of Nightwalkers for no reason. We destroy whoever challenges us, and we crush those who defile us. You rejected both options from my boss—it's better to die now," the ssenger said.
"Oh really... is that so?" Ma Feng asked, not showing the slightest sign of fear.
"Yes. You defiled the Syndro. You must be crushed to oblivion by our might. I'm not only a ssenger but one of the Syndro's best assassins," the ssenger said as the dagger slightly glowed.
"Hmph... well the sa goes for you. You see, you're standing against and threatening the leader of the Dragon Knights with a dagger. What would the Dragon Knights do? Would they be happy?"
Ma Feng asked just as the ssenger gasped—he had to dodge a knife attack!
Three knives were thrown at the ssenger as he evaded them. Rose dashed out of the darkness, her face partially covered, and launched a swift kick. The ssenger blocked, but groaned as he staggered back.
He reached to grab Rose by the leg, but she disappeared imdiately and landed on the ground. The ssenger turned just in ti to evade another dagger strike from Rose.
He crashed to the ground after tanking a destructive kick launched against him by Rose. She landed like a freaking ninja and showcased her two daggers—her deadly artifacts—while dressed in the Dragon Knights uniform.
"You are not an ordinary girl. Who are you?" the ssenger asked as he staggered back. He rose to his feet, wiping the blood gushing from his nose, and looked up at Rose.
"The Savage Queen of the Dragon Knights. How dare you threaten my... our leader!" Rose answered as the runes on her artifacts glowed. She was using a copied version of her artifacts.
The copied version ca to be after she fought Ma Feng back in the Marcel Kingdom during the outing. She then realized how powerful and destructive Ma Feng truly was—but he had been hiding his strength.
"The Dragon Knights? I haven't heard of such a na before," the ssenger said.
"That's right. You haven't heard of such a na because we are a new organization—an organization that will balance the power between the Light and the Darkness of this academy. We are the Dragon Knights," Ma Feng said.
He smirked evilly while chuckling softly. The ssenger was stunned to see how skilled and mighty little Rose was. Ma Feng stood behind Rose as the ssenger roared and gripped his dagger firmly.
He charged at Ma Feng, aiming for his neck, but Ma Feng ducked the attack. With his hands in his pockets, Ma Feng did a backflip and kicked the dagger out of the ssenger's hand.
The ssenger roared again and supersped, aiming to launch a destructive punch at Ma Feng—when Xi Jing caught the punch mid-air. He stopped the attack before it could land, and Ma Feng giggled.
"You were late... she was already here," Ma Feng said.
Xi Jing frowned and then broke the ssenger's bone before sending him crashing to the ground with a forceful kick to the ribs. The ssenger coughed out blood.
"You sky fox... you left alone on the sports field, huh?" Roo asked as he walked into the cafeteria with a smile on his face.
Ma Feng smiled back and turned to see the ssenger wailing on the ground.
"Bro, you're welco—and as you can see... we were busy," Ma Feng said.
"Oh really? That was the target?" Roo asked, just as the ssenger struggled to stand back on his feet. He was about to make a move when a slight strike to his neck stopped him imdiately, and he collapsed to the ground.
"What just happened now? What did you do to ?" the ssenger asked, his body numb.
Jude appeared beside the ssenger, who was now lying on his back. Jude folded his arms.
"I disrupted the blood flow in your neck area. You should stay calm if you want to survive," Jude warned as they began approaching the ssenger, all dressed in their Dragon Knights outfits.
"Greetings, Mr. ssenger. Your presence here and everything else has already been calculated by my tactician. We would love to send out a ssage to the rest of the dark societies located in the Underworld."
"We, the Dragon Knights, are here to crush them all," Ma Feng said.
"The Dragon Knights? Crushing the entire world of the Underworld? You guys must be drears. And besides, who gave out the information that the Syndro would be sending to negotiate with you, Ma Feng?" the ssenger asked, groaning in pain.
"I did. And it wasn't much of a secret since I could detail how everything would be planned. I made a bet that this would be the action taken by the Syndro—since Ma Feng would be useful to them," a feminine voice echoed.
The door opened as Beatrice walked into the cafeteria, dressed in the Dragon Knights uniform. Only Roo was stunned, as he had no clue how Ma Feng managed to recruit her.
Upon seeing Roo, Beatrice smirked and began to catwalk into the scene.
"Let go, you dimwits... You just declared war against the Syndro! You'll surely pay for this!" the ssenger scread, coughing out blood from his mouth.
Jude stared down at him.
"Of course, we will be setting you free—since we have a special mission for you. You still don't get it. The Dragon Knights will be crushing the top ten secret societies and limiting their control over the world of Light."
"This is a declaration of war!" Ma Feng said with pride.
