Chapter 17

1

The lightning in the thunderclouds was extremely intense, indicating that there were many "humble ones" in the thunderclouds. Even if there were so many of them, what was their purpose in attacking the plane? Or was it a mistake?

Blood Thunder continued to block the thunder attacks from the besieging aircraft. Only thunder could effectively deal with thunder.

"Boom!"

A figure flashed in the thunderclouds, and another armed personnel appeared while being surrounded by two other people. Indeed, this person was wearing a mask, with a symbol on the forehead distinguishing the Snake Party and the Eagle Party, but they were attacking together.

"Weren't they supposed to be fighting each other?"

I stood between them, not touching the plane with my feet. Blood Thunder intertwined with the thunder from the "humble ones" in my hands, directly hitting their hands.

"Zzz!" The two individuals swung their smoke-emitting wrists, showing that they were not weak. If it weren't for Blood Thunder hitting their palms, their wrists would have been crippled.

"Who killed that person?" I pointed to the armed personnel standing straight behind me. He was able to stand till now because of the equipment he had on his body. In fact, he didn't have any special equipment, just a large magnet tied to his feet.

The still-living armed personnel inspected, and his body was already covered in blood.

"It was him!" The injured armed personnel pointed at one of the Snake Party "humble ones".

"I am fair. An eye for an eye."

"Outsiders should all die!" The other party spoke unfriendly as soon as he opened his mouth. Although I was unfriendly too, the reason was simple. The entire plane was filled with people from the Othrie Empire, including these two armed personnel. They might be retired military, which meant they had a chance of being my father's people.

"Aren't you supposed to be fighting each other? It seems that you all are united when it comes to resisting outsiders!"

"Outsiders have destroyed countless of our esteemed pyramids. Regardless of whether we are from the Eagle Party or the Snake Party, we have an obligation to execute you!" The Eagle Party "humble one" released electric shocks towards the plane.

"What about the people?" I appeared behind them, with Blood Thunder stopping the "humble one's" electric shocks.

"They are tourists. Even if someone has stolen from the pyramids, it's the thief's business." These "humble ones" seemed to have a more exclusive sentiment than the common people. To me, it seemed that their relationship with the pyramids was more than just reverence for the great men.

"The matter of internal strife can be resolved after we settle the score. This high school student here is quite capable. If he comes to our country, he will definitely be the future of the pyramids!"

I couldn't see the expression of the "humble ones" behind their masks. I have seen many people wearing masks, but those with gold masks were rare because they were ostentatious.

"Gather more people!"

"If you're afraid, then stop killing people in front of me!"

"Drip, drip, drip, drip..." Each drop of blood, the size of a bean, collided with the tail of the plane as it moved at high speed.

"You..."

"Ah? I really don't want to kill two people, but you forced me to." If they wanted to gather more people, then I would have to deal with more people. There was no need for me to suffer.

Blood Thunder pierced through their hearts, and in the final moments of their lives, I asked, "The power of the masks is very strong, but what about yours? If you tell me whose power this is, I can give you a chance to continue seeing the sun tomorrow."

"No... it's impossible!"

"Then, goodbye." I lifted their masks, and with that their lives ended. Their limp bodies tumbled down from the plane.

"Golden masks?"

The two masks in my hands were different, one with a snake head and the other with an eagle head, representing different factions. It was obvious that the masks of the two individuals were different, and there was no way for me to witness the so-called Magic with different powers but same abilities.

"Are you okay, uncle?"

I helped the heavily armed uncle to his feet.

"Wow, I almost died. I could've lost my life!"

The uncle had been using magic to protect himself. After all, it's easy to run out of oxygen on a high-speed flying plane. If he were to fight those two men again, I believe he would suffocate in less than ten minutes.

"What about your brother?" I asked.

"He would consider dying in battle to be honorable. Let him rest in peace here. Taking him back wouldn't be right." The uncle took off his brother's equipment, allowing the headless body to fall to the ground.

The uncle's gaze was incredibly strong. Death was a regular occurrence in his line of work, and he had probably seen a lot of it.

"Go back, uncle. I will take care of things out here."

After the uncle left, I stood on the plane and looked at the thunderclouds above. Two dead and potentially more to come, but at least I wouldn't have to face them all at once.

"There are too many people, and I'm not confident in defeating them all. But I can scare them!" I took off my glasses and used my dual-colored eyes to look at the sky. With the help of the "L" particles from my ring, I could create blood lightning from the artificial lightning within the thunderclouds. While there were some natural lightning as well, the blood lightning I created was a paler shade of red and half as powerful. So, ultimately, I could only use it to frighten people.

As time passed, the lightning around the plane gradually decreased, and it seemed that my intimidation was working.

"Even in battle, Angel only sings hymns to repel civilians. But you people, you even attack bystanders. Your grudge against outsiders is immense."

The blood-red lightning in the sky continued to flash. I lay flat on the cabin floor, watching the thunderclouds and feeling the faint electric current passing through my body. The combination of the current and the high-speed wind sharpened my senses.

But unfortunately, I ended up falling asleep on the plane. It was probably because I couldn't turn off my heterochromatic eyes...

"Qin Yang, do you want to see my underwear?"

"Who's talking?" I suddenly woke up and saw a long, soft line in front of me.

"So you like flat-chested girls?" Zi Sirou said in a disgusted tone. Suddenly, my mind cleared, and I looked around to see bright lights and a stable cabin, devoid of the turbulence caused by air currents.

"We've landed?"

"Get your identification ready. We're preparing to disembark!" Guffy took off his eye mask again, looking as if he had had a good night's sleep.

"How did I end up back inside?"

"That uncle in the back carried you in." Zi Sirou adjusted her collar, and I caught a glimpse of her deep black, sexy underwear. What was she planning to do?

Fifteen minutes later, we got off the plane and were thoroughly searched from top to bottom at the airport. Even when I went to The Demon Realm, I didn't get searched so thoroughly.

"I'll go get our luggage." Guffy said before leaving.

"I..." I wanted to ask her what she had brought with her, but then Wenxin called.

"Hello?"

"Brother! Did you go abroad?"

"Huh? No, I went... went to the western border city."

"Cough, you're lying! You clearly went to see the pyramids. How could you leave me behind? Are you even my brother?"

"Huh? When did Nofice become such a bigmouth?" I had only told Nofice yesterday, so who else could have told her?

"Nofice knows?"

"It wasn't her. Who told you that I went to see Emo Inia?"

"Oh... So it's you... You really... went abroad!"

"Do you know or don't know that I left?"

"I don't know."

"Then why did you call? You're not that bored, don't have homework to do?"

"Um... Big brother didn't come back all night. I asked Aunt Nia, she said you went home to sleep last night and this morning... this morning you went out with Zi Sirou, senior student!"

What, today my mother betrayed me!

"Wenxin, anyway, big brother went out today, what can you do?"

I just called to ask, anyway she can't come, let them learn spatial magic, not many people can learn it. Even if they learn it, they won't have the energy now. No one is here to annoy and harass me.

"Ohni-chan~"

"Wait, what does Wenxin want again? If she doesn't tell anyone, I'll buy a week's worth of cheesecake when I come back!"

"Do you think I care?"

"Two weeks!"

"Fine, but there's a problem." I heard Wenxin's voice in a weird tone.

"What problem?"

"Even though I didn't say anything, the girls behind me know that you went out and brought other girls along."

Then I heard the voices of the girls, almost all of them.

"Qin Yang, you promised to introduce me to my master, what does it mean that you ran away now?"

"Hanya, let's talk when I come back. I have... I have a celebrity filming here. I'll go and take some pictures now and show you when I come back, bye!" I immediately found a reason to hang up the phone because I really saw someone filming a movie, I just didn't recognize the actor.

"Are you hiding in the harem?" Zi Sirou picked up the camera and looked around to take pictures. After taking the pictures, she sat next to me and listened to my phone call, looking at the photos in her hand. She kept looking left and right, not sure if she could see anything good.

"I thought if I didn't tell them, they wouldn't know."

"But obviously they know, why deceive them? If you told them, would they not come?" Zi Sirou reversed the photo in her hand and wrote some words on the back.

"I'm afraid they will follow me. The girls around me are becoming more and more dangerous. When I first signed the contract with them, I planned to have them protect me. Unfortunately, the enemy is too strong and can't wait for them to grow."

"So you're starting to refuse girls?"

Zi Sirou took out a stack of photos from her pocket, one of which was a picture of me and Situ Liyao with a circle drawn around it. The picture was moving, recording the words that I and Situ Liyao had said, telling her not to get close to me.

"I know you're good at tracking, but I didn’t expect you to be so clingy. There is a term for this, it's called a perverted molester."

"I'm a reporter, do you understand?"

"If there is danger around me, would you still be willing to continue being a perverted reporter by my side?"

"Elena can do it, and I, Zi Sirou, can definitely do it." Zi Sirou was firm and steadfast.

"Are you willing to accept the girls by my side?"

"I'm not willing."

"Okay, they're all the same."

Zi Sirou lifted my chin and pretended to be domineering, saying, "No girl really wants to, unless you can clone yourself!"

"I hate cloning the most, thanks to my magic powers."

"Weak kidneys!"

"I'll go see what Guffy is carrying!" I stood up and looked around. I decided to stay away from all the questions about my magic, I don't know why the girls like to discuss my kidneys. Please don't question the effectiveness of lamb kidneys.
