Chapter 125 125:I Warned You
"Did you find him?"
A deep solemn voice whispered into his ears.
Two people remained in a spacious room.
Kratos swept his gaze over the person sitting before and couldn\'t help but click his tongue in sheer annoyance.
"I don\'t know. After the Vampire fight, he just vanished without a trace. I am unable to trace him."
"What do you mean vanish? What were you doing at that time? Isn\'t he just a mere Martial Grandmaster?"The man in the black suit gritted his teeth and roared furiously.
"I passed out after the battle and when I woke up he was gone," Kratos answered solemnly.
Unlike his previous self where he acted quite carefree, in reality, he was a stern brutal guy who could do anything for profit. The only reason most of his crimes haven\'t been found was because of having connections in the government.
"And you were Mayor of Horizon previously so don\'t you have vast connections. Did you know how important this is for us Jeffeson? Noel is someone who we can\'t let go and this is an excellent opportunity for us to kill him and for you to obtain many things but you let it go."
"Let it go...Let go of a mere Martial grandmaster, that\'s what you are saying right?"Kratos burst into laughter and then he played.
The atmosphere became solemn, veins bulge over Kratos\'s forehead and his eyes flashed with anger.
"You know a shit. That mere Martial Grandmaster took down a Vampire which the five of us weren\'t able to put a scratch on. Though Feng Ruoxi managed to put up a fight she wasn\'t able to finish him but that bastard fucking dismantled it."
"You don\'t know. You don\'t know anything that happened there Gravis?"Kratos\'s voice became louder as his body started quivering and his hair stood erect.
"The look he had when he walked out of the forest, being covered in darkness. It was inhumane, like a ghost. I can feel my soul screaming those emotionless haunting eyes. Not only me but everyone who saw this lost their mind."
"What\'s up with this reaction? You are ranked 25 on the Blood Netlist and you are saying that you are afraid of him?"Gravis\'s lips opened wide with shock.
\'Isn\'t his reaction a bit too big? A mere Martial Grandmaster manages to take out a Martial Vampire Lord whom they couldn\'t defeat.Its simply impossible.\'
"I think you are misunderstanding. Your fight might have already tried out the Vampire or depleted his blood essence and killing his slave must have caused a backlash."
"Sigh!"Kratos sighed, shaking his head, and getting up, lit a cigar with his trembling hand.
Only after he takes a huge puff of smoke, does he find his mind calming down. Resting his rear, on the chair he raised his chin and started blowing the smoke.
"Maybe it\'s my paranoia but he is certainly strong. We need an army…I mean a whole squad of Martial Lords to take him down."
Kratos closed his lips wondering if they needed the army but on a second note, now that he thinks.
\'Maybe we tired out the Vampire and he collected the fruit.\'
"I passed out after the fight and when I woke up he was gone. I am trying to track him and I am sure he hasn\'t left Horizon. He is in the city."
Gravis in the black suit rubbed his chin and said"You said he knows that we are hunting him. Maybe he is hiding from us."
"Yes, that can be."Kratos back lurched forth hearing this.
"In that case, I will call for backup and a team to find him,\'\' Gravis murmured.
Last time they hadn\'t neglected Noel Star and sent a troop capable of taking him down but who knew there was Martial King beside her and it was none other than the Queen of Ace.
Kratos and Gravis conversed for a brief while making a few plans about the hunt while the man inquired Kratos about the manpower, the weapon he used, and his power.
Kratos filled in the details he could remember also hinting at chances of plausible relation between Feng Ruoxi so that they can try to approach Noel through her in the name of a private request and lay a trap which they can\'t do through Blood Net, otherwise they would be hunted till the end of the world.
To commemorate their partnership, Kratos walked towards the bedside and pulled out a drawer over which fine wines were laid. He also rang the bell to call his servant.
Pouring a glass to himself and the black suit man, Kratos raised his glass.
"In the name of Jefferson and celebrate the death hunt of Noel."
"To the death of Noel Star."
With a pleasant smile, both of them clinked the glass.
However.....
The moment they did it, their expression changed as no sound emerged from the clink.
"Something is weird."The man dressed in a black suit muttered.
"It surely is, "Kratos answered with a frown and then walked out of the room followed by Gravis.
"Hmmm! Where are the servants."Kratos frowned as he opened the door.
He rubbed his eyes for a moment wondering if this was a dream but much to his horror, the entire place was empty.
"When I came, this place was filled with servants so where did they go and why are the lights off?"Gravis looked trying to suppress the faint sense of Deja Vu crawling on his skin.
Kratos wordlessly stared at the empty corridor, his instincts on high alert. He grabbed a wine glass left on the table, and as he walked back to the doorway, Gravis joined him. They exchanged a glance before Kratos tossed the glass into the corridor.
The glass sailed through the air, shattering on impact with the floor, but there was no sound, not even a faint echo. A chill crept up Kratos\' spine as he realized something impossible had occurred.
"This…"Gravis hissed.
Sensing danger, Kratos and Gravis exchanged uneasy looks, a sense of foreboding settling over them. They knew they were facing a threat unlike any they had encountered before. With a shared sense of urgency, they swiftly moved away from the doorway, preparing for whatever lay ahead.
As Kratos slowly turned around, his heart pounded against his chest like a drum in a haunted forest. His eyes met those of a black-haired man whose grin seemed to stretch unnaturally wide, sending shivers down Kratos\'s spine.
"What?"Kratos and Gravis screamed at the same.
The man seems to appear out of thin air.
One of the man\'s hands was ominously tucked in his pocket, a gesture that exuded an unsettling calmness amidst the palpable fear.
"We meet again, Kratos."
The air grew heavy with dread as Kratos heard the familiar voice but the figure of a young man who seemed in his 20 didn\'t make sense.
Gravis on the other hand demanded in a voice tainted with unease, "Wh….Just who are you, people? And how did you come here?"
"That\'s not an important question."The man muttered with a stifled smile.
Darkness seemed to swirl around feeding them with a sense of ominousness.
"The real question is why am I here and what is going to happen next."
