"No, I would always pick up my phone." Ark said with a straight face. He looked Cia who is now thinking of another random question out of boredom.
"But what if I call you one day and someone else answered it?" She looked at him interestingly.
"Then assume I'm as good as dead." He said with a smile.
Following the little joke of him, she made another question. "Then whoever picks up the call, should I also assume he's the culprit?"
Her eyes' irises flickered like a broken digital tv. She has a smile and a straight face of innocence.
"No. It would probably be Hailing if not someone else." He said while looking outside the window.
"Ok then I'll also don't say anything. Maybe someone else will talk if it's not you on the line." She said to continue the joke.
He looked at her with a dumbfounded way. "Why is it?"
"To let you know that I'm maybe in same state?"
"Idiot, if he's already dead the how would he knows?" Hailing looked at them while asking to stop the stupid question train.
"Huh? I don't know why I said that but, Well it's not like he really would be dead and even if it's gonna be true then I would just hope."
"HOPE WHAT?!"
"Ok we are here." Guide said as the Driver slipped stop the Jeep. But then guide looked at the driver, "wait.... we are not there yet?"
Driver pointed forward, " now what's that thing?"
Everyone looked up to it. There's someone in the hood. That hood is recognisable.
"What? Is he trying to die here by car or something?" Andre said in confusion. Then driver just drove beside the man but he came in the path again. Guide stepped out,
"What's your problem huh?"
"Uh actually I want you all to wait here."
" What? It's about to rain ok? And why do we need to wait here? Who are you-"
Guide suddenly became silent. Andre felt tingling on his forearm as if he long ignored a danger that has now came.
Hailing and Ark stepped out to see what's going on.
"Uh.... Hmm...." The guy looked at Hailing then at Ark.
Why is it that he doesn't look so powerful? Even if his power is his brain and intellectual skills, he should have some aura about it.
....
A helicopter is flying just above the city.
"Is it true that even though he cannot comprehend force, he still cannot be taken down by guns?"
A man with his face hidden in shadows is sitting in black and leather clothing. He looked down the city. His gaze fell on a strange cafe but he dismissed it from the sight.
"Yes my lord. He is a war leader. Or say he was. He has seen wars and defeated many significant people. He is the no.1 hunter in this country too, well in whole northern hemisphere maybe."
He looked at his assistant who has praised the man a little more than needed.
"So does he got some titles as well? How come I never heard of him from the previous lord?"
"Yes you have my lord. You heard the story of Leadership of no Kingship? That's him. The SilentEclipse, The One who get to be called Chris, Sir. Though I cannot speak all the names of him."
He looked down on his tab and tapped few times before continuing.
"Currently he is known as Andre. A unemployed investor."
"Cut the crap and give me the location. That area is going to be ruined tonight."
"I hope it gets to be ruined by tonight."
"Exactly on what side are you on huh?"
Soon the helicopter stopped and started hovering a place. "It's here." Pilot said.
"Very well." The man in black stood from his seat and picked up his long sword with sheath. Then he opened the door.
" Uh sir we are just about to land-" before pilot could finish his sentence, that man spreaded his arms wide and fell just like that.
" W-woah?!"
Air started scratching over his leather clothing as he kept falling from such height.
"2 sword style." He wishpered with only 1 long sword.
With a fluent motion he unsheathed the sword and made air strike twice so close that it looked like 2 swords at one time.
"The reason that man became the lord is this."
As ground approched, the trees beneath already got perished with wide wind attack.
"Greatest swordsman I know. That's the man, Lord Qisvul La Junier."
Assistant said to pilot as he looked down him landing safely on one knee gently like a feather.
"That strike was designed purely to reduce our planet's gravity."
Qisvul stood up and set the sword inside the sheath.
"I wonder if I should call this a zoo."
