He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 81. A ranked

In a luxurious room with exquisite decorations boasting beautifuly adorned paintings on it’s walls , a beautiful figure clad in pajamas seemed to be muttering something in her sleep as she panted and breathed incessantly . The beauty with blonde hair would pant from time to time ,tossing and turning on the bed.

It was obvious that whatever dream she was having was not a pleasant one.

Suddenly, her eyes drifted open as she sat up on the bed and sighed depreciatingly .

" Another episode " Like any other regular time she slept, the nightmare or rather memory from the past , that plagued her would repeat itself over and over again. The night the incident occured,was their honeymoon, when she watched the masked female assailant heinously sexually harass her husband tied up on their matrimonial bed before her ,only to killl him later in the end. . She had been utterly powerless at the time, unable to even move an inch.Just the presence the masked woman exuded at the time indicated that she could have been killed effortlessly by the woman .

Up to now, she had no idea who the woman was, and why she had committed the heinous act of forcefully ravaging her husband and killed him in the end, as she forced her to watch everything in addition.

" Years of searching have proved futile. I’ve tried to rid my mind of this memory ,yet it still haunts me" Sighing ,she got out of bed about to head to the washroom , when a young man with blonde hair and eyes that seemed uninterested in everything swung the door to the room open without even knocking.

The woman shook her head tiresomely then sighed " Charles, how many times have I told you to knock before you enter someone’s room"

Xu Li Charles shrugged " Can’t help it, habits take time to die mum"

The woman chuckled. This brat was beyond saving. " There would come a day when you’ll barge into a room and see what you shouldn’t see"

" Heard that, been there "

Charles scoffed , rather thick skinned and shameless.

His mother’s figure flashed , appearing before him .

The next second,

Pa!

A slapping sound reverberated in not just the room but through the mansion.

Charles held his buttocks with a pained expression " Damn it mum, do you have to slap my bottom every time I come into your room?. Shouldn’t mothers be more gentle with their sons!?"

The woman chuckled " Till you stop this nonsense, I have to take the role of your father and discipline you in his stead!"

Charles rolled his eyes. This had been his mother’s reply whenever she committed this heinous act.

" Anyway I came here bringing news. Something happened during the time you were asleep"

****

A few minutes later.

" As expected of the monster your uncle warned me not to go try to intimidate into joining the family. This young man is dangerous. Ever since he appeared , he’s been causing a commotion everywhere he goes. No wonder you’re extremely interested in becoming his friend, and he even influenced you to stop lazying around"

"And this Terror Surge Syndicate. To think Angela Hayes’ vision about this unknown syndicate turned out to be spot on.I’ve been lazying around as a family head for so long with nothing to do, refusing to participate as a squad member of project Terror Surge.Perhaps, I should return to the special ops department again . Years of boredom is killing me"

Charles’ eyes widened " You really weren’t bragging when you said you were a member of the special ops department of the military?"

" What? Did you think your old woman was bragging?" Charles’ mum raised her hands , making cracking sounds with her hands as the bones in her hands were clicking.

" No mum. Of course I believed you. I just have some memory block sometimes, seemingly forgetting about some stuff. That’s why I almost forgot you were telling the truth " Charles raised his hands defending himself with a shaky voice.

The blonde haired woman chuckled then shook her head. Just as Charles was relieved that she’d let it go .

Pa!

Charles held his buttocks again, this time squirming on the floor in pain.

This old lady was just too wicked and irresponsible.

Why did she always have to always resort to violence .

" Old lady, I’m currently 18 years , technically an adult, do you have to shamelessly keep bullying me around ?" Charles spoke painfully.

" If you think you are grown up, then move out of my house and find me a daughter in law. Also knock before you enter someone’s room and don’t make fun of your elders" The blonde haired middle aged woman feigned a righteous disposition as she spoke, muttering nonsensities , her spittle flying all over.

Her son even forgot about the burning sensation of pain on his buttocks despite the hard jeans he was wearing, breaking into a fit of laughter .

" As if I would move out. Why should I ever stop freeloading, also I’m just 18. Why should I be thinking of marriage now! "

" Family head Jane, sorry to interrupt " Butler Lee’s familiar voice rung outside the room.

" The young master and the madam are at it again " He sighed as he shook his head incredulously , chuckling again in the process.

This mother and son pair were really strange .

Family head Jane cleared her throat " Come in, Lee"

Lee entered the room ,chuckling inwardly as he observed the squirming Charles sprawled on the floor .

He quickly got to business " Young sir Charles has been invited to the banquet held by the Hayes family in celebration of the young master of the Family’s birthday"

" Who extended the invitation?" Jane asked.

" Angela Hayes , a few hours ago, the invitation was sent with her signature"

Jane clicked her tongue " Tsk, that lady is holding a grudge that I refused to participate in project Terror Surge huh. To think she won’t extend me an invitation, but extend my son one"

Butler Lee didn’t know how to respond .

Anyway he further added " Madam, she extended you one, on the condition that you rejoin project Terror Surge. Also, my intelligence report indicates Kailen Darkhaven will be at the gathering"

Lee handed over the letter of invitation to Jane.

" Ho, to think she would be this desperate and resort to dirty tricks. It seems I have no option but to attend this banquet. Not just because of her, but I’m interested in seeing this Kailen Darkhaven in person"

Charles’ eyes gleamed as he stood up from the ground " Interesting, I can finally get to meet him in person"

***

A few hours earlier.

The energy orb Kailen had ordered from Zanpala university’s online shop lay on the floor before him in a training room of New Alexandria City.

The group had reunited earlier with Angela and Kailen , and were chatting in a lobby outside the training room.

"Let’s get this over with " Kailen had completely consolidated his strength in the B rank,laying a proper foundation for breaking through to the next rank.

Furthermore he had no choice but to break through as soon as possible , since he had to create more shadow creatures as soon as possible.

He didn’t know anything about the Terror Surge Syndicate . However he was not foolish enough to not know that an organisation that could send a national level Guardian Awakener after him was not ordinary . What made the Syndicate more terrifying was the fact that they were extremely mysterious . He had to increase his strength as soon as possible and be prepared for anything. Also the issue of receiving more slots for creating Shadow Creatures was necessary to not only increase his strength, but to get Phil Ngonzola and the national level Guardian Awakener sent by the Terror Surge Syndicate to spill any beans about the syndicate.

Kailen sighed, then got to work.

He cut a portion of his finger with a shape edge conjured with his shadow, then made the blood drip on the orb.

The worldly natural energy in the A ranked energy orb was ravaged by Kailen constantly , each surge causing his being to brim with astonishing power.

In the span of some hours, Kailen’s eyes snapped open, having broken through to the A rank.

His being brimmed with profound power.

[ You have broken through to the A rank.

You have obtained 70 slots for creating Shadow Creatures]

Kailen’s eyes widened . This number of slots for creating Shadow Creatures, was it not too much?

[ Do you want me to reduce the slots? Tsk!"]

" Ah no system , I mean time Dilation Artifact. Thank you, my golden finger "

The time dilation artifact harrumphed again, ignoring Kailen completely.

Kailen scanned his surroundings, his perception dozens of levels above his previous level.

Also, the power that brimmed in his being was nothing to scoff at .

Kailen had become extremely strong.

Quickly he activated shadow manipulation ,

the result of using the skill to scan the environs for shadows baffling him.

Several hundreds of shadows kilometers away now seemed to be in his range of perception ,covering the whole New Alexandria City .

" This, isn’t this too broken?"

Kailen realized he had underestimated he monstrousity of the time dilation artifact and what it could help him accomplish even after all this time.

[ To think you’d adore me. Tsk!]

Kailen ignored the time dilation artifact’s Tsunderelike nature , chucking inwardly.

" Now, let’s see how strong my shadow creatures have become. I wonder if anyone of them have managed to rank up. Come out, everyone "
