He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 24 Guild War 5
Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Guild War 5
A few minutes earlier.
In a hotel suite atop a high skyscraper.
Conrad Ronald’s lascivious gaze lingered between the mirror he stood before and the beauty that lay beneath the sheets asleep without a care in the world .
He had decided to put today’s ’ recreational activity’ to a halt . After all, he had to begin his preparations to end Kailen Darkhaven .
However, his lubriciousness fought with his reasoning , tempting him to almost procrastinate his plans.
Before he almost gave in to his lasciviousness and put off his clothes, however, the ringing of his phone reached his ear.
His expression changed to one of annoyance when he saw the name of the caller . However he picked the phone .
" Angela, what do you want ?"
" Yo, chill man. Can’t I just call the gentleman who tried to force himself on me a few years ago and wish him farewell " The female voice at the other end of the call, Angela Hayes, responded, a sarcastic tone dominant in her voice.
" You’ve rejected my advances towards you for as long as I can remember , and besides I apologized for that incident . I told you I was drunk. Can’t you just let it go. Also, we haven’t spoken in 10 years, why would you call me?. Is today April fool’s day or something?" Angela could sense an impatient and annoyed tone from Conrad’s voice,however , she didn’t care about this bastard anyway.
Having seen a vision a few hours ago about him sprawled dead in an arena today with blood spewing from every orifice of his body, she had happily called the bastard to wish him farewells to the afterlife.
Being a social media fanatic used to watching videos on Vutube, she had seen Livestream of an event happening at the Awakeners’ center of New Alexandria City that confirmed her vision.
In the video, the student , who had shook the city recently, and whose past information she had dug up these few weeks, Kailen Darkhaven, had revealed he was a B ranked awakener ,created a guild with some sort of strange summoned diabolic beasts as his guild members, and issued a guild war towards Conrad Ronald.
She connected the dots quickly ,coming to a realisation that the death of Conrad would have something to do with Kailen Darkhaven.
She quickly replied " Like I said , I called to wish you farewell. Also, you should check Vutube, you’ll love what you see " After that, Angela Hayes chuckled , then ended the call.
Standing before the mirror,Conrad thought about Angela’s words . " What did she mean by calling me to wish me farewell?. Is she leaving the city soon?... Has she probably taken a liking to me finally?. Has she accepted my feelings?... Or could what she said be related to one of her crazy visions?. I’ve heard some rumors that she can see visions about the future , however they’ve been brushed off as baseless rumors. Never mind, let’s check what’s happening on Vutube "
*****
A few minutes later .
" If he dares not accept, I think he would be not only the most useless, but cowardly and hypocritical person who has ever lived."
Fumes of rage exploded from Conrad, materializing into red flames,further causing the temperature of the room to soar to new heights of searing heat. " That bastard, I’m gonna rip him to shreds... " What followed was the breaking of the mirror Conrad stood before, the shards spinning before they fell to the tiled carpeted floor.
The beauty laying beneath the sheets woke up with a scream at the sudden sound akin to something breaking in the room.
With her now paled fearful eyes , her whole body shook,as she covered herself with the blanket,staring at Conrad fuming in rage, with flames dancing around his figure, and trashing anything his hands came into contact with in the room.
He turned around to stare at the woman with rage ,flames dancing in his cold eyes and around his whole figure ,then bellowed , " What are you looking at, you whore, get the hell out of my room! "
Her central nervous system kicked in, initiating a flight response .The woman bolted out of the room with the blankets covering her whole body ,not wanting to ever get involved with any awakener ever again. She had spent the night with this man because he would pay her twice the amount the usual customers would pay her, however she cherished her life. In fact she even decided to quit the business for the rest of her life.
As for Conrad , donning a red armor made from the body of an A ranked diabolic buffalo ,flames flickered beneath his feet, his figure shot towards the glass windows, causing the windows to break into glass shards ,then with sickening rage, he fell, his destination, the Awakener’s centre of New Alexandria City.
" Summon all the guild members and tell them to meet me at the Cirella Stadium . It’s time for war..."
He spoke through a special gluetooth device that could withstand the destructive power of awakened A ranked and below.
" Yes sir" A female voice responded, after which the call ended.
*****
Conrad Ronald entered the awakener’s centre with extreme rage. His presence was accompanied with searing flames that caused the the temperature to experience a dramatic rise.
" As expected of the Boiling Fuse. He really has a short fuse. But why would an A ranked awakener sink so low to the point of accepting a guild war from a B ranked awakener ?"
"The Boiling Fuse?"
" That’s his nickname. Are you sure you live in this city?. Boiling because he has the powerful flame affinity, Fuse because he has a short fuse, easily gets angry and acts without thinking"
" I admire him . He’s a fearless and no nonsense man.As a man ,one should act with your fists and think about nothing else"
" Such power"
" This is gonna be a good show"
" Quickly girl, turn the video stream towards him"
" Is that the Scarlet Borne Armor he’s wearing ?."
Conrad ignored the whispers of the crowd ,barely managing to hold in his rage ,his gaze focusing on Kailen Darkhaven who stared back at him with a relaxed smile . The temperature rose further to new heights . It seemed Conrad had lost sense of reason,upon seeing Darkhaven’s taunting,mocking smile.
" Sir, please calm down . No fights can be initiated in the awakener’s center" A B ranked guard appeared before Conrad, reminding him that the Awakener’s centre was not a place anyone could just walk into and start a commotion. Besides the Awakener’s centre had the backing of the Federation government after all. If Conrad tried anything funny in the awakener’s centre, he would face the consequences.
Conrad finally reigned in his rage, nodded politely at the guard, since he could not mess with the awakener’s centre. He then glanced at Kailen .
" Not only did you reject the invitation to join my guild, you also killed two of my guild members . I had decided to deal with you through other methods , however ,you’ve completely trashed over my dignity and that of my guild today. How can I ,as a man, sit back and watch a puny B ranked awakener insult me.I accept to have the guild war. Today, I will kill you and hang your head atop a skyscraper. Meet me at Cirella Stadium in a few minutes from now"
Conrad turned around after he spoke,then left.
As for Kailen, he was relaxed through Conrad’s trash talk. His plan has proceded perfectly. He had lured the prey into his trap successfully .
" It seems he’s more stupid than I thought. Risking his life just because of a public insult?. Why would an insult offend you when you know that you are not who the person says you are? Had he rejected the guild war, it would have just been seen by the general public as he not taking a B ranked Awakener like me seriously. However , what do you expect from the Boiling Fuse. The nickname really suits him well" Kailen mused inwardly, then left the awakener’s centre.
However, news of the guild war spread throughout the city . Everyone was talking about it.
Social media handles had taken it upon themselves to broadcast the event to the whole city.
Even some individuals outside in nearby cities who paid attention to the happenings of the cities close to them had decided to tune into the streaming platforms of New Alexandria City to watch the event. After all, a guild war was something that rarely occured.
Even New Alexandria Academy had halted classroom activities. Angela Hayes,the principal , had decided to give the students and staff the chance, or rather the compulsory order to visit Cirella Stadium to witness the event. After all, Kailen was a student of New Alexandria Academy at the end of the day. They had to support him. Many were not optimistic that Kailen would win the guild war. However , how could they throw away the chance to witness such a good show?.
Ever since he had awakened and the Smallville county video had spread, he had turned into an overnight celebrity at the academy.
Various fan clubs had been formed about him.
Kailen had been absent from school for a while now, so he had no idea how much people’s opinion has changed concerning him in the academy. He had become a role model to most students.
Everyone in the academy had generally disdained him in the past, however there were those bullied him at a personal level.These guys had been scared , wishing that he never returned to school.
These students however,had no choice, but to visit the stadium to witness his prowess.And these bullies included his two childhood friends, Stephen and Rio.
