Chapter 653: Mysterious Mask 1

Garen stared at the two glowing dots floating in front of him. He hesitated slightly when he realized that these two lights were not physically real but images by his brain.

He was lucky that he was able to merge out a powerful technique last time, but he couldn't be lucky every single time.

He focused his gaze as he reached out his hand to touch the icy blue seed.

As he finger touched the icy blue seed, a familiar Secret Technique image appeared in the Attribute Pane in his vision. It was an ice sculpture of a bird which spanned its wings wide. Its wings were very elegant as its body was covered with frost, just like the legendary blizzard phoenix.

'Unnamed Living Secret technique: First grade (Ice type Living Secret Technique, total of four grades)'

Garen remained his expression as he felt a coolness spinning in his inner body. After that the coolness spread out with a terrifying amount of coolness all over his body, skins and organs included. This formed into a huge and complicated web.

It was as if he knew what he was doing. The soul seed had reconstructed his body since young and in addition to Garen's incredibly high physical attribute, Garen instantly learned it. The tough understanding and will of the Living Secret Technique were given to him without hardship.

'You really have done it!' Black Sethe shouted, 'And it's a Living Secret Technique!'

The Slaughtering Demon Technique diminished quickly as the Living Secret Technique grew. The Slaughtering Demon Technique was supposedly the one which swallowed the Living Secret Technique. However, under Garen's delicate control and management, he was able to completely control it, allowing the Ice Living Secret Technique to swallow it instead.

The demon technique that he had learned had already reached an advanced level and he had instantly grasped the foundation of the Living Secret Technique. He would have to slowly grind it out in the future as he had to slowly reconstruct his body to his needs.

'You're crazy! Do you know how long it is required to train yourself to reach back your current level? You abandoned the Demon Technique and the stronger your Living Secret Technique is, the life force you are able to store decreases, which makes your activated Seven Star Secret Method weaker! Your overall strength will become weaker and weaker! You're literally committing suicide right now!' Black Sethe shouted as she tried to persuade Garen to turn back.

"I don't need something impure," Garen replied calmly. Although the additional life force was useful to his Seven Star Life's Secret Point, this alone wasn't the reason he decided to switch his path as he knew that Black Sethe's Demon Technique definitely had a hidden trap that no one knew.

Instead of walking on the same path, he took a bet and relearned everything. He hoped that he could obtain more Relics to absorb the potential points before Nadia appeared. He couldn't have won against Nadia with his previous strength, to begin with.

As his path was getting more complicated, he decided to choose a path that was pure.

"Garen hasn't been replying lately." Jason was unenthusiastically helping Trish beat the eggs with the egg beating machine, which was stirring the eggs in a big bowl.

"You're in your twenties! You don't even have a girlfriend and now I have to worry about your life." Trish was busy in the kitchen. She wanted to create an egg pie but he felt that she'd messed up the procedures.

Jason, on the other hand, was standing at the entrance of the kitchen and was about to carry the beaten eggs to her.

"Little Vivien too, ever since she'd entered puberty, she's started to not respect me as her brother." He said with a very bored look.

"Isn't that because you've done something wrong somewhere?" Trish didn't have the time to tend to her son's dilemma. "Teenagers are often rebellious. However, I'm more concerned when you will go to school. Your university's semester should be open by now right?"

"Who knows? I'm currently not interested in attending university." Jason said.

"This is not something that depends on your level of interest…" Trish turned her head around, revealing her gloomy face. "If you don't go to school, I will call Garen this moment and I'm sure you understand what comes after. Do you remember how much you've cried after you got beat up by Garen in your twenties?"

Jason then raised his hand up to show off his biceps.

"Call him, I'm not afraid of him anymore." He looked at his muscles in satisfaction. "Look at my muscles, I'm already at 100kg."He flexed as he tried to show off his muscles.

"Oh my god." Trish didn't know how to answer to her eldest son as she and Emmer weren't into muscles at all. She wondered how she had given birth to a son who could only think of muscles.

"By the way, the building at the edge of the town caught fire. Did you know?" Trish asked. "I heard that the people there saw the Isaros sisters."

"No. I was with them the other day swimming on the beach. Why would they go to where the place where it caught fire." Jason replied innocently.

"It's best if that's true. The police officer came to inquire about it. Even the officers in the city came to investigate. They're preparing something but I believe the Isaros sisters wouldn't do such a thing like causing a fire. They simply do not have the intention. I will talk about it with the city councilor John so that they won't accuse an innocent citizen."

Trish casually spoke her mind.

"Okay," Jason replied casually as well as his eyes were brimming with happiness. "I'm going to watch the competition today. It's the Battlefield Cannon! I can't miss this!"

"Just go." Trish was completely speechless with regards to her son.

Jason smirked as he ran back to his room with his tight black T-shirt and jeans. The door was slammed and soon a huge noise from the computer could be heard. The sound of the competition had rung.

Jason gently opened up his curtain as he looked at the window from another building afar.

The building was all white and the curtain on the second floor was opened up as well, revealing a cute red-haired girl's face. She was Arisa.

Jason smirked as he pulled out his index finger and thumb, signaling an OK gesture.

Arisa's face was brimming with happiness as nodded excitedly at Jason before letting the curtains fall back down.

After a while, Jason's phone started to vibrate and he immediately rushed towards his phone and looked at the screen.

It was a message from Arisa.

'I've sent the pictures to your email. With my reputation on the line, these are definitely sexy. All of the pictures were taken when my sister is changing clothes.'

'Thank you so much!!!' Jason was delighted as he replied immediately. He then clumsily rushed towards his laptop and opened his email. Behold, he saw an email with a huge attachment attached to it.

'Do you want something even more erotic?' Arisa sent another message.

'Yes!' Jason replied. He was literally holding onto his phone as if it was the most precious treasure.

'I need you to help me on something…'

'You name it! As long as it's within my capability I will do it to my fullest!' Jason browsed his email as he placed the pictures into a hidden folder and named it as Arisa - No. 0. He then sat alone on one side and smiled immorally.

'Get me the latest picture of brother Garen. I want the latest picture and stop using those old pictures to reach the quota. There were a few old pictures of him from the previous batch you've sent me.' Arisa was very dissatisfied.

'But he hasn't been back recently. I can't do much here.'

'Aren't your hacking skills very good? Take more pictures of him.'

Jason pondered for a bit and then he quickly opened a hidden folder, archived the files inside and sent it over to her.

In the other room, Arisa smiled wickedly as she received the folder. After browsing it, she transferred the pictures into a hidden file and renamed it as Garen - HD.

"Hehehe…" Arisa started to laugh satisfactorily.

"Arisa! What are you doing? Can you please help me take my towel for me." Isaros's voice called from the bathroom.

"Okay!" Arisa quickly returned to her lady and elegant vibe. She tidied up her look before going straight to the bathroom.

Arisa was very smart as she was able to settle the whole ordeal with just a few lewd pictures of her sister. She even managed to obtain a few high definition sexy photos of Garen.

The whole process was perfect!

The crystal clear water was freely flowing down from Isaro's body as she closed her eyes while standing in the bathroom.

Ever since the battle with the Blood Breed Lars, she had obtained some rather complicated injuries. Since she didn't have recovery abilities as good as those Blood Breeds, it took her more than a month to actually recover to a rather normal state.

She didn't want to get caught in such a complicated matter. She'd only wanted to help Sir Pritto with a small matter and push everything back to the Blood Breeds so that she and her sister could return back to the peaceful and quiet life.

However things didn't go as she expected, instead of settling down, everything became worse. She got snared even deeper after the fight with Lars.

Within a month, she had been ambushed by vampires three times. These vampires were like ashes as they kept interrupting her during her rest and recovery. She received the news from Pritto that these vampires were sent by Lars. He refused to let other Blood Breeds meddle as it seemed that being injured by a Mortal was too embarrassing for him. He specifically said that he would settle the matters alone to obtain back his reputation.

The bad thing about this was that Lars had lost his cool. When a true Lower-Level Blood Breed and district person-in-charge had lost his cool, it meant that he would do anything necessary to achieve his goal.

The good thing about this was that Lars had blocked off other Blood Breeds who wanted to dirty their hands in this mess.

Isaros understood very well that Lars would come after her very soon.

As she stood in the hot water bath, she unconsciously raised up her right hand. With her hand as sharp as a knife, she gently cut through the fog around her without any noise.

"Since I can't avoid this, then I will face it head on." Her resolution woke up from her exhaustion.

*************

Knock knock knock.

After a rhythmic knock on the door, The white villa's door was opened, revealing an elegant woman.

"Please come on in, Master is in the study room on the second floor." A female servant in white clothes said softly to the guest.

Hochman entered the villa with a calm expression. His bodyguards, one female, and the other male tried to follow him in but were blocked off by him.

"You guys wait outside."

Two of them were stunned but lowered their heads and waited outside.

Hochman entered the living hall on the first floor. His muscles were very streamlined and he was at least two meters tall. Even his shirt couldn't cover up the muscles on his body as each and every fiber was clearly streamlined out. His hair was combed back and he was in a purple-black suit. His black shirt was slightly open, revealing a purple crystal necklace pendant on his chest.
