Chapter 41: S Rank Salazar

Chapter 41: S Rank Salazar

"So how strong would you say he is? Was it more than you expected?"

A smooth voice asked this question as the chairman of the NSA made his way back to his office. The man who asked him this question was tall, and his face had an expression that would make anyone think that he was a snake. He had slitted eyes that were almost closed, and his relaxed demeanor and long, calm face made his appearance appear untrustworthy and twisted!

He was wearing a pure white suit and standing beside the chairman's window as he spoke, and the chairman propped himself on his seat with a sigh once he heard the man's question.

"Was it really that difficult? I thought you said you would be able to suppress him easily if you used your abilities. Don't tell me that someone was able to counter your abilities. That kid?"

James waved the man away and put his hand on his head as he sighed again. James trusted this man more than anyone else in the NSA. This man was known as Salazar, and he was one of the only S-rank superhumans in the entire NSA. The NSA only had three S-ranks right now: Salazar and two others who were preparing for the raid on the island.! James was not even one of their S-ranks, but everybody knew that James was strong. James was so strong that he would definitely not lose against any of the other S-ranks in a fight to the death! James was a very high-level A-rank, and he was just a few points away from also being able to call himself an S-rank!

This is why James's silence was so shocking to Salazar! What sort of power did that child have that he would be able to make James go silent and start thinking this hard? Salazar already heard about Mark's ability.

The ability to grow stronger the more you kill.

It was definitely a good ability and something that would thrive on the battlefield. But if it was so simple, then Salazar would have heard about GHOST before today. GHOST has been fighting and killing Anima for the past two years, and after Salazar learned that GHOST was actually a person of interest who killed a Calamity Class, he went and watched all of GHOST's former clips on Metube to see how strong he was, and he could only say that there was something special about him!

James had no idea that Mark was KING. Right now, he was basing his deduction only on what he felt from Mark while fighting him and the stories he heard about KING. He had no idea how powerful Mark would truly become.

...

[Mission Accomplished]

[Hold Back the Attacker for Five minutes]

Strength +50

Mana +50

...

After the whole issue with the Chairman of the NSA finally passed, Mark's system sent him the notification telling him that he passed the impromptu mission that he was given! Mark was happy about this because he could feel the increase in power that he had and his flow of mana became even greater than before, but this wasn't the mission that Mark was interested in the most! The only mission that Mark had an eye on was the mission telling him to protect and rescue Arit! That mission had still not gone away and that was the only thing reassuring him that Arit was not dead!

The mission would have definitely failed the moment that they killed Arit, but just the fact that it was still there gave him some confidence and he was sure that he would be able to make it to the island before anything happened to her.
