My Dragon System

Chapter 369 - A secret Home

The hooded man stood in front of Jack in the middle of the street. He wasn't blocking his path for the street that led back into town was a wide one. But it was clear that the man was trying to stop him from moving forward.

The mansion was located on the outskirts of the town up against the indie of the wall. There weren't many houses stationed around the outskirts. The few buildings that were there were just storage units or another odd house here or there, just a little smaller than the mansion.

This meant there were only two pathways. To continue going around the outskirts and run in circles, or head towards the centre where the town was and right now that was where the man stood.

The sound of angry men's footsteps and armour clanging against them was heard. Jack didn't have time to mess around.

"I'm sorry, but if you get in my way you'll get hurt," Jack said as he was preparing to bulldoze his way past the man.

"Now, is that the way to speak to your little brother now." The hooded man removed his hood to reveal a short brown-haired man. He looked similar to Jack but a little older, but had the same muscular build. The only thing that was quite different was there was a fairly large scar going across his face from the top of his eye down to his lip. Something that wasn't there before.

"We don't have time to catch up right now! Follow me!" Steve said as he lifted his hood and ran towards Jack.

"Hey, wait! Shouldn't we go towards the city?" Jack asked as he noticed Steve was going around the outskirts of the town instead.

"Just listen to your big brother and follow me," Steve commanded.

The two of them continued to run at an incredible speed. They both knew how to utilize Ki in their legs well, the only thing was so did the knights behind them. This had impressed even Jack. It was the first time he had seen an army that was actually capable of using Ki this well and keeping up with him.

"You ready brother," Steve said with a smile as he turned around.

The next second after saying those words. Steve leapt into the air around ten meters in height, while in the air it looked like his body was about to collide with the wall but at the last second he threw out his arm and dug his fist into the wall and held on.

The knights were unable to see what had happened but Jack could. Just before touching the wall, it looked like his hand had transformed into a claw and right now using his claw-like hands he was scaling it at an incredible rate.

This caused a smile to appear on Jack's face. It seemed like his brother was a type of beast as well. Perhaps the same as him. Not only that, but his brother was able to transform only parts of his body. This was something Jack had attempted at but had failed.

Jack attempted to do the same and although he was able to lift himself up quite a distance it was nowhere near the same height as his brothers. He dug his hands into the wall, but rather than using his claws, he jammed his fingers in using the power of his ki.

It had similar results but wasn't as impressive. With the two scaling the walls at a fast speed the knights stopped just below.

"With lost them, although we might have been able to catch up to them on foot, on the wall we're no match for them." The knight said. "Let's report this matter back to mayor as soon as possible."

This wasn't the only reason why they had left. There were many times the knights had chased Steve before. They could have waited for him to come down or followed him along at the side of the wall.

The problem was whenever the knights did this in the past, Steve would always be able to lose them and once that happened they would never see him again unless he wanted to reveal himself.

Jack continued to follow his brother but they had scaled up pretty high along the wall now. As Jack looked behind him he could now see the entire town in view from above.

"Come on slowpoke, we're nearly there," Steve shouted.

The part of the wall they were on was now dark. Most of the lighting was stationed just above the town. While above it there was no light at all. However, as they climbed up JAck could now feel his body slightly leaning back which meant they were getting close to the top of the place.

Then finally a small light could be seen up ahead. His brother disappeared into the light and Jack using his remaining strength hurried as fast as he could. When he reached the light he noticed that it was coming from a hole in the wall.

His arm reached out at the gap and Jack pulled himself into the hole when he stood up he was surprised at what he could see.

"Welcome to what I like to call my home. " Steve said with his arms wide open.

The hole was similar to a cave-like entrance and once through the small part of the entrance, it opened up to a fairly large area. The area was lit up with crystal lamps and also had a small puddle of water in the centre.

But what had shocked Jack most of all was there were other people here besides his brother Steve. There were a couple of teenagers, a boy and a girl. There was also a slightly older woman who seemed to be around fifty years of age. Then finally there were three kids running about inside the cave.

Although they were living in a cave, the place was quite nicely decorated. They had normal beds that were just as good as any other of the inns. And it looked like they even had a food area in one of the corners. This was where the older woman was. She was currently cutting up vegetables and seemed to be boiling something.

However, as soon as they heard Steve speak those words. Every single one of them stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Jack.

"Did you manage to save another one?!" A little girl said as she ran over to see who was the new person he had brought over.

The three little kids who looked to be around the ages of 6 and 7 were the first to come running over to Jack.

"Now, now this is someone who is very special to me so treat him well," Steve said with a small smile, "It's my little brother Jack."

"You mean your real brother?" The young girl asked. The little girl seemed braver than the others, as the two teenagers chose to watch from a distance and the two kids were hiding behind the girl as she got closer to Jack.

Jack looked down on the cute little girl, who had black hair that was tied up in a bun and big eyes. "What's your name little one?" Jack asked as he smiled and bent down to her height.

"My name's Rachel." She said as she smiled back excited. That's when Jack could hear the sound of wind being pushed. Then he noticed something just behind Rachel. It was a tail.
