Chapter 48
Awakeners Association was a massive organization built by the cooperation of the government and Awakeners that was in every country you could possibly imagine, in almost every city possible, no matter how small or large it is.
It was a necessary thing to defend against the gates that could pop out anywhere.
For his city, the Awakeners Association was even more massive because the S-class Water Emperor awakened from here, and ironically, this was the person he saw in that disaster which made him depressed.
“Sigh, I have experienced so much in the other world and relaxed so much that I don’t feel anything, but still feel like my heart is paining from all those screams.”
Eryke could only sigh. Even if he wanted answers, he was not qualified for this.
Awakeners didn’t rely solely on rank to become stronger. Eryke could level up so much in just a dungeon, although it was partially because he was only level 2.
But these Awakeners have gone to the dungeon for almost half a decade now.
Their strength, even if it doesn’t match the ranking, should be much higher. That head start gap was not something that he could cross so easily.
At least, Eryke felt like he couldn’t use any magic to stop the fire for an entire city in a matter of a wave of his hand!
And also, it didn’t even end there, as that was years ago. That Water Emperor should have levelled up even more.
“I am not a justice-giver, nor do I think like this, but I want answers!”
Eryke slowly wanted to park his car in the lane, but before he could do so, a Lamborghini sped into his car.
“Hmm?” Looking at the car that was rapidly speeding and was about to directly hit his car, Eryke was completely calm.
He kicked the door, and it flew through the air. Then Eryke walked out of his car with a nonchalant expression.
The Lamborghini crashed into his car and directly destroyed almost everything there was.
“Oww.”
A female’s grunt sounded from inside the car, and Eryke peered through it. A loosely dressed woman was in the driver’s seat with alcohol in her hand and her eyes were groggy.
Eryke’s eyes slightly widened. He turned his head to look at a school a little further away:
‘What if she crash-landed into the school?’
Anyway, before he could think, a row of cars sped towards them and a group of men in black appeared, hurriedly taking the woman out from the driver’s seat right before the car could blow.
“Jack, do it,” one of them shouted.
Jack, one of the men in black with a small height, nodded his head and took out his black goggles, revealing his face of Asian origins, and pointed his hand towards the car.
Almost immediately, the effect took place. The car started to float in mid-air just as it was about to explode, and it exploded in mid-air.
“We cannot afford another bad publicity in the image of milady.”
Jack muttered, then turned his head to look at Eryke and slowly started to walk towards him in very slow but firm steps.
“Is he going to silence me?”
As the man approached, Eryke tightened his fist. He didn’t want to get into any trouble now until he was completely sure, but if there was a fight, he would take it without missing a beat!
When the man approached, Eryke was ready to attack and unleash all his might.
But unexpectedly, Jack didn’t attack him. Instead, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him.
“What’s this?”
Eryke asked with a questioning gaze, and Jack muttered:
“A blank check. You can write any amount you want.”
“I see.” Eryke took it in his hand and went away, not before leaving a single sentence:
“Also, I suggest your lady be more mature and teach her proper discipline. If she really crashed into the school, then I would have killed her no matter what it takes.”
With a cold tone, he went inside the Awakeners Association.
Jack just stood there, frozen in place.
The other men in black caught up to him and asked with a frown:
“Our orders were clear, Jack. We need to remove all the evidence. Why did you give him money for no reason?”
Jack turned towards them. “You fool, this guy is not an ordinary person. He is an Awakener… no, he is a monster.”
He revealed his hand, which was trembling non-stop, and the absolutely shitless expression on his face.
“If we attacked him, he might not have died, but we might absolutely be killed.”
Jack spoke with a terrified expression, and the atmosphere grew serious. They all knew the skill of Jack, if he was seeing it, then that person was likely a big-shot Awakener.
Not long after that, they carried the woman and went away quickly.
Eryke walked into the building and was greeted by two rows of women bowing their heads.
Even though he was wearing poor and untidy clothes, they didn’t even have a trace of disdain or anything in their faces, they were respectful and professional.
“Hello, good day.”
Eryke flashed a radiant smile as he walked into the building, where he was greeted by another woman in a black suit.
“I wonder if you are here to buy or sell?”
“I would like to buy items, please.”
“Alright, sir,” the woman nodded her head and gave him a tablet. “You can choose anything you want from here.”
“Alright.” Eryke accepted the tablet and looked through it with curious eyes. His eyes glossed over, there were many categories, but he chose the herb category.
Immediately, he was dazzled by many items on the tablet, but even more dazzling were the prices, enough to make one despair. The top herbs cost a million dollars just for a single strand!
He quickly scrolled down and saw the cheaper ones, but these herbs, even the cheapest one, cost over ten thousand dollars.
This was an unimaginable amount of money, but everything related to Awakeners was expensive in this era, no matter how low it is!
