Leaving this thought of acting aside, Aatrox became serious and started thinking about the revenge he will take.
By now Robert must have returned to the Price family headquarters to tell the patriarch everything that had happened. Aatrox was careful to not show his strength so the Price family wouldn't judge him by common methods.
They could either underestimate him for being too young or overestimate him and spend too much money trying to protect themselves from him. Any of the alternatives they chose would be good for Aatrox since the first would make it easier for him to torture them and the second would make them torture themselves little by little.
Aatrox, who had begun to emit his killing intent, went and opened his closet. When they were buying clothes, Aatrox felt nothing special about any of the mortal clothes he saw, but there was one outfit that had caught his eye. In his old world, there was a murderer that he knew before the divine level who, before he died, said. "I may die, but my image will always be remembered as a dazzling killer."
When Aatrox heard this, he thought the man was just another madman and killed him mercilessly, but the man's outfit was saved in his mind. And the man was right, in various places in that country, several women remembered him for always being well dressed and leaving a rose for the wives of the victims he killed. On earth, when he went out to buy clothes with his family, Aatrox found a set of clothes that looked like what the man was wearing. When Amanda saw him looking at that set of clothes for a long time, without thinking twice, she took them and put them in their shopping basket.
The clothing consisted of a dark gray Victorian vest, wide black pants above brown boots. Above the vest came a black overcoat with a high collar reaching his ears and folded sleeves showing a pair of red leather gloves. To hide his face, a blood-red mask came out from under the vest all the way to his nose, leaving only the pair of eyes and long black hair in sight.
When Aatrox looked at himself in the mirror dressed like this, now that he had learned some things about earth, he could say with certainty that he was definitely gorgeous, but when he activated the Darkin eyes, the eyes that kept his whole eye black with red veins around them, reminding him of a certain Hyuuga clan of an anime he had seen. The graceful and elegant appearance he had was replaced by that of a demon who had just come out of hell.
Satisfied, Aatrox deactivated Darkin's eyes and prepared to leave. His parents and brother were already asleep, so he jumped out the window and with a slight jump, Aatrox reached the top of a building that was next to it. The strength he used to jump wasn't very great now that he had reached the Baron level, but if other people saw him there, they'd think some kind of superhero was in town.
After using a little energy, Aatrox took advantage of the night breeze to get back most of the energy he had spent jumping around and to observe the area from the rooftop. He didn't know what the Price family's situation was like now, so going prepared was better than getting there with 10% of his power missing.

Joshua Clarke, 23, studying Computer Engineering. That's me, every day I leave college at 10:00 p.m., take a bus and listen to music while I stick my head out the window, so I don't sleep and miss my stop. I do this regularly, I'm lucky that I catch this bus every night, so the driver already knows me, the last time I slept, he woke me up when we arrived at the terminal, and knowing that I had slept because I was tired, he would put me on another bus that was leaving without me paying anything.
Today I made that mistake and when I woke up, I was already at the bus terminal. The driver laughed and put me on another bus as usual after saying a few things about me sleeping too much.
When I was on the second bus, going home, I started to pay attention to things. Usually, you keep your face on your cell phone for so long that you stop paying attention to your surroundings. Only what I saw... it looked like I was watching a video on the cell phone screen.
The bus was at a speed of 35 miles per hour, and incredibly when I looked out the window, there was a man jumping over the buildings at the same speed. I rubbed my incredulous eyes wondering what it was, and yet I could see that man running over the buildings at the same speed as the bus.
I remembered an article I read that Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world runs at an average speed of 45 kilometers per hour, something around 28 miles per hour, then how on earth was this man running from building to building at a speed faster than the fastest man in the world?
I tried to focus on him to see if he really was a human and yes, apparently, he was. He was wearing a slightly different outfit than we're used to, looking like a fantasy... maybe he's a superhero?
Do superheroes really exist in this world? Isn't that something from the comics? This guy's all black, maybe he's a batman? That's not possible, I need to get my cell phone to record!
When I grabbed my cell phone in my pocket and pressed the record button, the superhero apparently felt what I was going to do and looked at me. The blood-red mask he wore to hide the bottom of his face reminded me of a certain ninja known to have stolen over a thousand jutsus. When his eyes met mine, I felt all the hair on my body shiver, that look was definitely a look that batman would give! Looking at his face, I felt a familiarity at the same time a strangeness. It was as if I knew him from somewhere, but at the same time, I was sure that I had never seen him before in my life.
I tried to control myself as much as I could so I wouldn't shrink and stop recording, but luckily, he took his eyes off me and accelerated even more. I was amazed to record as he started running at an even faster speed than before.
When he was out of sight, I looked at the cell phone screen to see how the recording had turned out. When I saw that it was too much, I started to get worried, but I wasn't going to delete this recording. When I got home, the first thing I did was upload the video to YouTube with the title [Is Batman real?] and went to bed. But no matter how much I tried to sleep; I couldn't stop thinking about this hero. The feeling of knowing that heroes are things that don't just exist in comics is exciting.
After I stopped trying to sleep, I got up again and started looking for things related to this hero.

Aatrox who was running a little slower to recover energy suddenly felt a gaze on him. He turned quickly and saw that a man on a bus was watching him run. Aatrox knew that cultivation was something secret in this world, but he was prepared to kill at any time, he didn't care if the cultivation was hidden or not. If one or two people saw him running around the buildings he would just act as if he didn't see them, after all, he was using some of the energy he was recovering to sue the [Unknown Aura] technique, that technique would make anyone, even if it was his mother, not recognize him and think he was a stranger. This was probably one of the techniques most used by him when he was going to perform some kind of massacre in his previous life... as a God-King of War, it was indispensable that he knew any kind of techniques that would help him in battles, either before or after they occurred.
Suddenly he felt a different intention, turning around again he saw the man from the bus picking up a cell phone to record it. Aatrox thought this would be a little more problematic than just a few people seeing him running around the buildings, so he accelerated and got out of sight of the bus.
He was masked and even if he had long hair, because he was using the technique [Unknown Aura] he didn't bother to be recognized or sought by other growers because of this video.
What Aatrox didn't imagine was the sensation he would create on the internet because of this supposed "Super Hero".
