Chapter 107 - Old Drunkard

"Don't let them escape so easily!" Demetrio's expression was full of wrath as he ordered in a hoarse voice. He glared at the traitorous Marchand Family soldiers. They had actually colluded with the demi-humans! Everyone must join hands in repelling those aliens, but one of the strongest families on Earth had already betrayed them.

The academy's guards fired wildly at the escaping soldiers. They did not even bother thinking about the consequences of depleting their origin essence. They only wanted to avenge their fallen comrades.

"Doov!"

"Doov!"

"Doov!"

Demetrio then saw the two vice headmasters retreating towards the academy with solemn expressions. Kenji was carrying a lifeless body gently. 

They both landed on top of the academy's wall, but they did not stop moving and both headed inside the academy while carrying Zero's body.

Demetrio glanced at them and then at the retreating enemies. He decided to stay and take command of killing a few more enemies. He was hoping that the old man would be able to heal Zero.

Recalling that old doctor, Demetrio's hair stood on end for some reason. He was one of the new slaves bought by Cale within the entire year. He was a drunkard and if not for Cale telling them that the old man was a doctor, they would have thought that he was just a trouble-making old man.

"Old man, I will entrust Zero to you." He muttered in a worried voice.

Kenji and Leonhart brought Zero to the academy's clinic. They had also seen the old doctor in this clinic. Although he looked like a scammer, they chose to believe him. If even Cale did not think twice about making him as the academy's doctor, then why would they still doubt him?

They went inside the clinic without knocking the door. 

Inside, they saw an old man lazily curled up on a chair. He held a wine flask in his hands while his eyes were closed tight. His face was flushed red, clearly drunk. He was not even able to wake up after those loud explosions. 

"Old man! Wake up! We need your help!" Leonhart was a bit annoyed so he could not help but shout while shaking the old man's body.

The old man's eyes opened slowly and they saw a pair of murky orbs which had experienced the vicissitudes of life. They felt a stifling sensation which they had only felt when facing Cale. This old man's strength was unfathomable!

He ignored the two vice headmasters, his focus was completely on Zero's body. He then stood and pointed towards the bed. Kenji understood what he meant and he gently placed Zero's body on the bed.

Zero's face was pale with no hints of origin essence. He had also lost a lot of blood and he could be considered as a dead man. But the two vice headmasters thought otherwise. How could the strongest mercenary of Gallantos die so easily?!

They glanced at the old doctor who was still standing nonchalantly before them. 

His sparse hair was completely white and his skin was full of wrinkles. He was not that tall, just five feet in height with a thin physique. He looked like a sickly old man who had one foot on the grave. If not for the strong burst of origin essence a few moments ago, they would have believed that he was just a normal old man.

"Leave." The old man spoke in a barely audible voice, but with Kenji's and Leonhart's acute senses, they were able to hear it clearly.

They opened and closed their mouths a few times, but no words came. Both men then obediently went out of the room after having one last look at Zero.

After seeing that both Kenji and Leonhart had already stepped out of the room, the old man walked towards Zero. He opened the wine flask in his hands and poured three drops of 'wine' in Zero's mouth. He then checked Zero's pulse and felt no signs breathing from him. He frowned and exhaled solemnly. His peak stage Divine-Class level strength burst out. His wrinkled fingers poked Zero's body at an indiscernible speed from time to time.

Kenji and Leonhart who was outside the clinic felt the strong burst of origin essence. It was actually at the peak of the Divine-Class level! The two vice headmasters glanced at each other. Both of them had a surprised expression.

Less than two hours ago, inside the Tyrannical Tower.

Cale stood up after he heard a series of loud explosions. He went to the terrace and glanced towards where he heard the explosions. It did not stop and continued for a long while. Cale knew that something must have happened to the academy.

He wore his silver wolf mask before he jumped from the terrace of the building without hesitation. He was on the seventieth floor which was also the topmost floor of the tower! 

He spread his limbs to reduce his speed and wrapped himself with his origin essence. He then manipulated his origin essence when he was close to the ground before he somersaulted in midair and landed gracefully. He ignored the awed and shocked looks if everyone as he went inside a black hummer.

"Broom! Broom! Broom!"

The pedestrians thought that someone was shooting an action film after seeing Cale's stunt. All of them stood rooted on the ground and their hearts were on their throats as they spectated the entire scene. How awesome!"

Inside the hummer, Cale took out his phone and dialed Brogen's number.

"Ring! Ring!"

The call was answered after the second ring and Cale heard Brogen's reverential voice.

"My lord."

"Brogen, I know you guys also heard that explosion. Call Atlas and go to the academy. Bring a few fighters with you." Cale did not wait for Brogen's reply and dropped the call.

His silver eyes were devoid of emotions, but his aura was dancing wildly around him as he stepped on the gas pedal. The hummer accelerated with great speed, scaring a few drivers within its way.
