Chapter 125: Surprise!!!

While everything seemed to be going great until now, there was one thing that surprised the people participating, and made a lot of rumors to spread around.

The absence of the Old Patriarch of the Kirigaya Clan, and a few of the important elders, including the elders of the brides.

It seemed like all this was more of a personal event organized by Kirigaya Endo, the current patriarch of the Kirigaya Clan, than some big wedding amidst the Clan.

There were a lot of reasons thrown in the mix, some people said that the Old Patriarch was still supporting his elder son.

Some said that Kirigaya Endo was doing this against the Clan's wishes! There were even those who said that Kirigaya Endo didn't want to marry the ladies, but was forced.

No matter how wide, and rich the imagination of the gossipers was, none of the people inside believed in those stories, as they were more concentrated on the approaching ceremony.

Kirigaya Endo had disappeared a few moments ago to wear the appropriate outfit for a groom, and also prepare himself, as his future wives were ready waiting for him.

But more than a few moments went by, and there was no one showing up. It seemed like the groom and the brides had disappeared into the night.

Everyone was waiting for Kirigaya Endo and his brides to show up, but there was no sign of them. The more time passed the more people got bored and agitated waiting for them and the ceremony.

It took more than 15 minutes for someone to appear on the stage, and it wasn't Kirigaya Endo and neither were his brides.

It was that ponytail idiot, who had appeared in the middle of the stage and said,

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I deeply apologize for this inconvenience, but due to some unfortunate happening, the wedding ceremony will have to be postponed.

We are really grateful for your presence here tonight, and ask for your magnanimous understanding, as the wedding will be impossible to take place tonight.

The rings we distributed earlier were a gift for you with all our hearts, and even though the planned setting didn't happen, we hope those rings bring you luck.

Once again I deeply apologize in the name of my Master, and the Kirigaya Clan!"

These words fell on the audience like a heavy rock, and no one was able to understand what happened just now.

It seemed like everything they heard was some kind of joke, and in no time Kirigaya Endo and his brides would show up inside the hall, telling them this was all just a big trick.

But that wasn't happening, and the ponytail idiot's face didn't seem to be the face of someone acting, as a matter of fact, he had a really weird face and expression right now.

It was the face and expression of someone who had his big plan spoiled all of a sudden. This clearly attracted the attention of Eric, who until now had been 'observing' the ladies around him.

Earlier he hadn't paid too much attention to this guy, as he looked just like a useless idiot, but right now Eric felt like something was really wrong with this guy.

It was at this time that his system seemed to get a bit agitated, as he was getting an alarm notification from the system.

! Warning! Signs of Divine Qi detected in the surroundings of the Host!

! Warning! Signs of Divine Qi detected in the surroundings of the Host!

! Warning! Signs of Divine Qi detected in the surroundings of the Host!

Eric wasn't able to understand what this meant, or what meaning it had right now, but it didn't take long for him to arrive at a crazy theory.

What if Kirigaya Endo wasn't the true mastermind behind this!? It was true that he had a system, and connections to a system, but what if his system was just a sub-system kind of thing.

What if he was being played for a fool by someone close to him, without understanding he was being used and played with?

But still why hadn't his system warned him earlier, when he first met this ponytail guy. Why was it acting only now?

There was the possibility of that being due to some artifact he possessed, or some ability that either he or Kirigaya Endo had gotten from the system.

Either way, now he had one bigger problem, it would be much more difficult to point out the other system users before the S-day.

This also made him think that he should act more maturely and secretly from now on, otherwise he might end up dying without knowing how or why.

While Eric was thinking like this, the whole crowd inside the hall seemed to have understood that this wasn't a game, as they started throwing words, and derogatory terms to the Kirigaya Clan under their breath.

It seemed like they had tired their asses all the way up to here for nothing, and coming here had been a mistake, as they started to empty the hall.

Even though there were a lot of people inside the hall, still in less than 15-30 minutes the whole hall was almost completely empty with the exception of Eric, Uncle Satoru, and the organizers.

Of course, the left crowd also included the ponytail guy, who was clearly displeased with Eric's and Uncle Satoru's attitude and said in a respectful but hasty manner.

"Honorable guests, I don't want to disrespect you, but can you please leave the venue, as we really have an emergency of the clan, and unfortunately we need this place."

Eric looked at him from head to toe, and disregarded him as he turned towards the solemn Uncle Satoru by his side, and said,

"Old Man I can't believe we were both played for fools until now! The Patriarch is just a smoking bomb, there is someone else pulling the strings in here."

Uncle Satoru was already prepared for any possible scenario, but he didn't expect something like this, every scenario included the fact that Kirigaya Endo was the mastermind.

Yet right now Eric was telling him that they were played for fools! How could this happen!? And what did he exactly mean by that?

On the other hand, Eric was still calm and carefree, as he continued to say,

"It's good that he came with us tonight, otherwise we would both end up dead tonight!"

Uncle Satoru was still unable to understand what was going on, when that blonde-haired girl that was still close to them, suddenly attacked towards Eric's head.

Her attack was truly fast, strong, and vital, she was aiming to cut through his throat in a single strike, and not allow any possibility of Eric living past her attack.

At that moment though Eric truly understood the difference between a true expert and him, he wasn't able to even look at her attack.

The moment his brain started to process the fact that the blonde-haired woman had attacked, the attack had probably reached his throat.

On the other hand, Uncle Satoru hadn't expected such an attack to happen right then and there, as for not even a single moment had he doubted on the blonde-haired girl.

All this time that she had been so close to them, flirting with them, joking and talking, he had never felt any kind of threat or bad premonition from her.

Forget that, he had not even felt the smallest bit of strength, and power from her, she seemed just like a weak mortal, but right now she had exploded with strength even greater than his.

It had to be mentioned that Uncle Satoru was the head division of the Supernatural's Department of Japan, so of course, he had a certain level of strength.

He was ranked as an SS being in the records of the department, and he was truly strong, but this lady in front of him seemed to approach ever closely that SSS power level.

But that wasn't all, as she wasn't the only one making a move, as right now there was a frightening 4 meters long Python heading towards him.

The Python had a black shiny scaly skin, and a pair of scaring vertical eyes, a slithering long tongue, and two yellow canniness that seemed able to rip him apart.

Against all expectations, even this 4 meters long Python had a strength that was really close to that of the blonde-haired lady.

At this moment Uncle Satoru didn't even have the time to think about this, as there were more urgent things to think about, like for example how to deal with this situation.

Both attacks were strong and fast, much stronger than what he could handle, and he could block only one of these attacks.

Meaning that he could only save one of them, so it was either Eric or himself. It was truly a difficult dilemma that it took him only a slash moment to decide.

He didn't really know Eric, and he only thought that this kid was a genius that would achieve a lot if he didn't die.

As a matter of fact, he didn't really care if Eric was dead or alive as a person, but he cared what he represented at this moment.

What was happening right now it was clear evidence that Eric's claims were true. There truly was a real threat to his country and the whole planet.

While he really didn't want to die, Eric's life had more importance than his right now. At this moment he hated being such a country loving guy, but he didn't regret it.

At that split moment, he decided to protect Eric, and he immediately jumped towards him, grabbing with his own hands the knife heading towards his throat, without caring about the attack heading at him.

An attack that…
