Chapter 102 - Preposterous

Name:The Black Market Author:Condemned
"This is... What is this?" Roan muttered in a questioning tone of voice. He was fascinated by the thing he was seeing right now. And now he knew why Wolf King did not want him to speak of anything about what he saw in the office. This was beyond the concept of science! It goes against the rules of this world!

"Close your eyes, Roan." Wolf King's voice traveled softly in his ears. He closed his eyes and he felt a painful sensation invading his head. It felt like millions of ants were biting his brain. The good thing was that the feeling merely lasted for a short while before it receded. Still, he turned numb after recalling the sensation.

"You can open your eyes now." Roan opened his eyes and he realized that the light was no longer inside the box. He was surprised but then he thought of something which made him gasped in surprise. Because as of the moment, he felt like he had practiced sharpshooting for many decades. He even felt like he was now much better than even the most elite of soldiers in terms of marksmanship.

'How the hell is this possible? Was it that light?'

He turned cold at the mere thought of it. Because such a thing was impossible!

"Roan, use this skill to further enhance yourself. With this, no one else will be able to claim the top spot against you, unless you show mercy. But I hope you won't do that though. Exceed your current self and become much stronger. The time will come when your strength will be needed by this world. You both may take your leave."

Wolf King smiled at Roan and gestured for them to leave the office. Santharus pulled the latter out of the office since he was still in a dazed state. Roan only gained clarity after he was already outside the office. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes burning with intense light.

'I won't disappoint you, Wolf King.' He promised in his heart as both he and Santharus walked back towards their classroom.

Roan faced a barrage of questions from his classmates, but he remained tight-lipped regarding the matters that happened inside the headmaster's office. His classmates stopped pestering him after seeing his firm look. They were not dumb, they knew that what happened the inside headmaster's office will only remain there. What happened inside might be one of the academy's mystery and only the top scorer was qualified to learn about it.

A few days later, inside the Tyrannical Tower's meeting room.

Several men wearing formal clothing sat before a round table. They were men of different nationalities and the most astonishing thing was that they were mostly world leaders. Some were presidents of their nations, and some were vice presidents or senators of their country. There were about eighteen representatives from all over the world who were present inside the meeting room. All of them were looking solemnly at the man wearing a silver wolf mask seated on the head seat. 

They had seen the interior and the level of security inside the tower and they were indeed surprised by it. But still, they felt that Wolf King was too arrogant to dare sit on the head position when faced against them. They were leaders of their own country! And to think that a mere businessman or martial artist actually dares to act superior in their presence?! 

"Wolf King, everyone is already here. Say what you wanted to say and don't waste our time any further. We still have a few meetings that we need to attend to." Said the president of Iran with dissatisfaction.

Everyone remained silent, but they nodded their heads in agreement.

Wolf King glanced at everyone present, his eyes void with emotions.

"First, I would like to thank everyone for coming here despite their busy schedule. 

Now, to start this meeting, I will show you guys a short video." Wolf King pointed the clicker in his hands and pressed it. The big screen in front of them turned on and played.

The world leaders were confused, but they waited patiently for what Wolf King was going to show them.

In the video, they saw two groups fighting against each other in close combat.

One group was cloaked with long robes to hide their appearance, while the opposing group was Wolf King's subordinates.

The battle between the two groups became more intense. Wolf King's subordinates were getting pushed back, but a man with grayish-white pupils suddenly joined the fray. His presence changed the tides of the battle, and the robed silhouettes were now the ones being pushed back.

One of the robed silhouettes was even killed during their fight. And after his death, the other robed men escaped and left their comrade behind.

The video ended with Wolf King's subordinates' carrying the dead body of the robed man that was killed.

Wolf King then signaled something at the hulking man standing behind him. The giant bowed his head before leaving the room.

"Gentlemen, I will show you, the body of that man who was killed in that fight."

"Are you insane?! Killing is a crime! How dare you show us the body of the man you killed?! Preposterous!" The fat vice president of Spain stood up and pointed at Wolf King.

The latter glanced at the man with a detached look. His emotionlessness contained a pure and terrifying atmosphere which made the fat vice president shut up.

The other world leaders also thought that everything that happened so far was absurd and incredulous. Was Wolf King signing a death contract by showing them his crimes? 

The meeting room opened and Wolf King's subordinates came inside while holding a black cadaver pouch. 

Wolf King stood up and gestured for all the world leaders to follow him

"You guys will know everything after seeing this. So I hope everyone will refrain from doing anything stupid."

"Open it." Wolf King's subordinates pulled the zipper of the black cadaver pouch. And a pale blue body of a humanoid can be seen placed inside. His features were very human-like. The only difference was that his ears were pointed and skin was pale blue in color.

"This... This is..."

"This was the man killed in that video." Wolf King replied in the same cold voice.
