Chapter 14 - Zero

Cale chose two hundred skilled men and bought some stronger warriors as well. He was conflicted if he should buy Zero as well, but then he decided to just purchase him.

A bright orb of light floated in front of him and he still looked fascinated even if this was not the first time he saw this beautiful scene.

"I, Zero, the Phantom Sovereign swears loyalty to the master. I will become a faithful servant from now until enternity."

A tall and lean man who was clad in tight and fitting black clothes knelt down in one knee in front of him. The man's eyes were white and does not have pupils, making him look rather mysterious and scary. He looked dashing with his long black hair that reached his waist. Two short swords were strapped on his back, one look and you could tell that both swords killed countless men just from the frightening aura they were emitting.

Cale looked at him and nodded in satisfaction, he then looked at the two hundred men behind Zero and smiled brightly.

"All of you may rise. From now on, you will be part of my Tyrannical Tower. Brogen and Santharus will handle your training, and you will be under the supervision of Ulric." Cale said loudly towards the strong men in front of him.

Each one of them emitted a strong and frightening aura that can make even the bravest of men tremble in fear.

The big room looked cramped with all the men inside, but nevertheless, Cale was extremely happy.

"Zero, come forward." Cale looked at the dashing man and called him.

Zero stepped forward and lowered his head slightly towards Cale.

"My lord." Zero said in a calm voice.

"I will appoint you as the head of my intelligence department. Are you willing to take this position?" Cale asked in a tranquil voice, but the calmness made the two hundred men feel weak. It was like they were facing a strong and baleful prehistoric dragon who can kill them any second.

"I, Zero am willing to take this position my lord." Zero answered in the same calm voice, but Cale saw his lips trembling a bit.

He smiled in satisfaction and nodded his head.

"Good! Leonhart, Kenji and Demetrio step forward."

Three men who emitted the strongest aura after Zero stepped forward. They all lowered their heads slightly and said in unison.

"My lord."

* Leonhart (Human)

- 80000000 Black Coins

- The strongest guardian knight of the Lusciana Empire. He single handedly killed thousands of men during the great war between Lusciana Empire of the Western Expanse and the Ludwigg Empire from the harsh lands of the South. The Lusciana Empire emerged victorious in that war because of the huge contribution from their wargod Leonhart.

* Kenji (Human)

- 90000000 Black Coins

- The strongest wandering swordsman in the world of Luna. The noble households were fearful of strength, and even the imperial families does not dare offend him.

* Demetrio (Human)

- 95000000 Black Coins

- The patriarch of the renowned Kure Family in the world of Altura. The family was composed of skilled fighters and killers. Even the emperors from all over the world of Altura feared them.

"The three of you will be the first S-Class guards of my Tyrannical Tower. Only the best of the best clients can hire you and your job as of the moment is to ensure the safety of the tower." Cale told them seriously.

The three men had looks of delight when they heard the importance of the job given to them.

"As you say my lord."

"Your will is my command."

"Yes my lord."

Cale then proceeded to tell the rest of the men about their rankings and duties for about two hours.

He called Ulric and told him that he already had two hundred men with him. He then tasked Ulric on supervising the men.

"Ulric, no one must know that the Tyrannical Tower belongs to my real identity. Don't make it too hard for them and place clues that will lead them in knowing that it belongs to my second persona." Cale thought that it will be troublesome if someone knows that the tower belongs to his real identity.

"Yes my lord. Everything will be ready in two weeks time and we can open the Tyrannical Tower a month from now." Ulric answered over the phone.

"Good. I will leave everything about the tower to you Ulric."

"I will not disappoint you my lord." Ulric replied.

Cale ended the call and smiled widely. "Now, little underworld king, wait for my revenge."

The men who saw his smile trembled uncontrollably.

"Now, the people of the underworld will learn of the emergence of Lord Wolf King." Cale laughed hysterically, but his eyes were still as calm as water.

"Zero, this will be your first task. Beat the men who injured my brother. As for that underworld king and his son, break one or their arms, but don't kill them. It is not yet time for us to kill, just scare them. Oh and leave this letter once you are done." Cale said as he gave Zero a small piece of paper.

"I will get this done today my lord. I will not fail your trust." Zero said with fierce lights in his eyes.

"Good. Oh, by the way, do you know Brogen?" Cale asked mischievously.

Zero's pupils enlarged for a brief moment, but Cale saw through him.

"There was indeed a feud between me and Brogen my lord. I was tasked by the Heavenly Wind Empire to take Brogen's head. But even after using my strongest attack, I was still not able to injure him severely."

Cale thought for a moment and said "I understand, since it was merely a mission and not a blood feud, I hope that there will be no conflict between the both of you."

Zero bowed his head slight and said "As you say my lord."

"Good, you may leave. I will wait for your good news." Cale smiled and waved him off.

Zero bowed one last time and left the room to begin his task.

The smile in Cale's face became even more prominent and evil, but his eyes were still as tranquil as it always was.
