Chapter 101: Chapter 101 - Desecration of a Society

Saying what he deemed necessary to convey to the stubborn man still clinging to his dire predicament, Delmar stretched back his right hand.

A surge of red, fiery aura started to envelop his fist quickly and spread to his whole arm. The aura felt so heavy that one might wonder, "How is he still holding on to it so perfectly?" But that was not all; the aura had a unique property that made it even more formidable as it burned more brightly as time went on.

It was scorching. The heat was so intense that the very ground where they stood began to melt from the aura emanating from Delmar's hand. Yet, surprisingly, neither he nor his clothes bore any trace of the inferno's wrath; both of them stood unscathed, defying the blazing heat.

Nile was gravely wounded, more than ever before. He could feel the blistering heat radiating from the aura and knew his demise was imminent. He attempted to utter a few words but was hindered by his dislocated jaw and a tongue that had ruptured.

Delmar momentarily halted, observing the man's futile efforts to speak, but did not dissipate the lethal aura he had summoned to end him.

Delmar leaned closer, straining to catch the man's faltering words.

"If you ever encounter the man with the indestructible body, Run. But if you can then land a punch or two for me," Nile stammered, his voice barely a whisper, awaiting the monster's response.

Delmar pondered briefly. He knew precisely whom Nile was referring to: Apollo Degenetic, the formidable leader of the Goldstein Family's elite fighting force, known as the Indestructible Man.

Although he could have easily lied to the dying man, Delmar chose not to. Nile had earned his respect, a rare achievement, and for that he deserved the truth.

Delmar reflected for a moment before giving Nile a solemn nod. "I don't know if I will ever be able to fulfill your request, but I will certainly try my best if the right opportunity presents itself," he said earnestly, withholding false reassurances and delivering the unvarnished truth.

Nile believed every word that Delmar spoke. Despite the uncertainty of the future, he felt the sincerity in Delmar's voice. "Thank you," Nile whispered, his final words, as he lay there, awaiting his death.

Delmar heard the words, spoken so softly, but did not hesitate further. He was aware of the approaching sirens from the royal forces' armed vehicles. Delmar nodded to Nile and readied his right arm, which now glowed like a bright flame. With a decisive strike, he delivered the fatal blow.

Nile felt nothing—not the punch nor anything thereafter. The moment Delmar's fist connected, the red aura ignited, exploding like a volcanic eruption.

The explosion was colossal, disintegrating Nile's body instantaneously, and continuing to obliterate twelve more buildings in its path before finally subsiding.

Though angry at the kid, Delmar didn't let it affect him. As he sat down in his chair and spoke with a smile.

"Hey brat, so you finally decided to call me after causing such a massive problem for me."

The other end of the phone was filled with disbelief as William retorted, "What do you mean I created a huge problem for you? You were the one who decided to attack the assassin that was sent to kill me."

"And I wouldn't have had to do that if it weren't for trying to protect your sorry ass, which, by the way, should be thanking me immensely right now instead of complaining."

William, feeling defeated, sighed and conceded, "Alright, alright, I get it. You were kind enough to protect me, and I do thank you for that. But what on earth did you do to make the entire Goldstein house declare you their number one enemy so quickly?"

"Don't even ask, kid. I just made a little mockery of their agent, and now look at the mess I'm in. They've branded me as one of the most wanted in the whole Tudor Kingdom."

William burst out laughing on the other side, "Hahaha, Ahahah! Ahh, they actually made you one of the most wanted. Man, I'm talking to someone really famous over here."

He paused for a moment as a realization hit him, "Wait a second... Doesn't that mean the royal forces and whatnot are monitoring you?"

"Yeah, kinda."

"Then that means me calling you right now is like committing a huge crime, right?"

"Well... yeah, but only if you get caught." Delmar advised the kid on criminal advice.

"But aren't they capable of tracing my location because I'm calling you?... I think I should stop talking to you for a while."

"Well... you should have thought about that before you called me. The royal forces should have already traced your location by now." Delmar casually said to the kid on the other end with a mischievous smile.

The voice on the other end remained silent for a moment before a low voice finally emerged.
