Plundering in the Apocalypse



Elena realized that she was too impulsive. But it doesn't matter. In the last few days, in the absence of Shin, she had many emotional changes.

She understood that if she kept being passive, there was no way to compete with Alice, who was already many steps ahead.

Aurora and Emily's appearance in the video was the final nail for her. Now she didn't even care if Shin and Alice were in a relationship.

So as soon as he appeared in front of her. She couldn't hold herself back. Her body moved subconsciously as she hugged him tightly.

"Um, Elena?"

Seeing that, Shin tried to break the hug. Elena hugged him even more tightly, with no intention of letting him go. Helpless, Shin couldn't only give up.

Aurora and Emily were slow to react. They couldn't understand what to say for a while. But looking at Elena, several thoughts ran wild inside their mind and they imagined a lot of unspeakable things in that short moment and came to a conclusion. In the end, they could only look at Shin in disgust as if looking at a scum.

Their impression of Shin fell to the bottom. 'This scum cheated on Alice and is blatantly showing off in front of them. How shameless and despicable!'

From the looks they were giving him, Shin immediately figured out that they have misunderstood.

With a wry sigh, he could only wait for Emily to let him go and explain.

Inside the sanctuary. Both Alice sat facing each other.

"Say, when am I going to receive all the memories?" Alice asked.

"Let you develop slowly. Moreover, isn't it nice to start loving Shin once more?" Adult Alice said with a chuckle.

But Alice wasn't in the mood to joke with her. Although Alice didn't have a proper understanding of everything because of her incomplete memory. She at least had some idea about her identity.

"Just why is Shin involved in this?"

This question made the Adult Alice stop laughing and her expression turned serious. After a moment of silence, she finally uttered.

"You remember the Absolute rules I mentioned."

"Yeah, but I don't know what it is," Alice said while nodding her head. She didn't receive any memory regarding it. So it was normal for her to not know.

Adult Alice sighed, taking a deep breath. She nodded, as if making up her mind about something. She looked into Alice's eyes and uttered seriously.

"Absolute rules are the rules made by the three Ancient Gods at the time of the creation of this universe. These rules are written in the Akashic records. Each entity in this universe, whether it's gods, deities, sub-deities, Immortals, or mortals. They are all bound by it."

When she heard this, Alice's eyes couldn't help but widen in disbelief.

"Are you saying Shin holds the power to bypass those rules?"

Adult Alice didn't answer and continued looking at her solemnly, but for her silence, Alice took it as an affirmation to her guess.

*Hiss*

Alice sucked in a cold breath. How to say it? It's unbelievable, but this is just too amazing.

A normal human holds the power to challenge the authority of gods. How is that possible?

"Just who is Shin and why would he hold such power?"

Sigh Adult Alice sighed and said. "You will know when you receive all our memories."

Her words were like pouring cold water into Alice's excitement.

"In other words, I am too weak."

"Well yeah. You don't have an understanding or proper control of your power."

"So you asked me to stay because..."

"Yes, I am going to help you get a better understanding of your ability."

Kenshun City.

For normal people, it's just a first-tier city where the headquarters of multiple business franchises exist.

But for the elites, it is the territory of the Tarragon family, an ancient martial arts family comparable to that of the Wolner Clan.

Their large foundation in martial arts makes them a behemoth to be afraid of. They call themselves descendants of dragons. It's unknown whether that's true or not. But all their martial arts techniques are named after dragon style.

They call it Pendragon Form.

Inside a luxurious villa.

A bald, middle-aged man was sitting on a couch and in front of him stood several people in black suits. They were Hunk and his subordinates.

The bald middle-aged man was reading a file in which the details regarding the delivery were recorded.

Closing the file, the bald man looked at Hunk and his subordinates. His single glance made Hunk's subordinates nervous. It's not that they are too weak. After all, the person in front of them is the strongest martial artist and the patriarch of the Tarragon Family known as Zorus Tarragon, nicknamed Dragon King.

"The demon corpse is arranged, right?" Zorus' deep voice resounded.

"Yes, boss. Our men in the association have dealt with it. Taking a few corpses from under their eyes shouldn't be a problem." Hunk answered without any change in expression.

"Hmm," Nodding his head, Zorus looked at Hunk with sharp eyes and asked, "Keep an eye on them. This project is in its final phase. There shouldn't be any problem."

"As you command. Boss." With those words, Hunk and his subordinate left.

*Beep* his phone rang.

Zorus checked the caller id, then picked it up.

[My friend, you make me wait a lot.]

"... Just what do you want, Reizer?" Zorus asked in a deep voice.

[Oh nothing, did you check that popular video?]

"That Savior Squad?" Zorus asked in puzzlement.

[Yes, don't you know who that boy in the video is?]

Without waiting for the Zorus to reply, Reizer already answered.

[It's your precious research subject and my brother's grandson.]

Though the news was surprising, Zorus didn't lose his composure and calmly said.

"What does it have to do with us? We didn't do anything excessive to him like you guys."I think you should take a look at

[Well, you are right about that.]

Zorus snorted and said, "Even if he knows, what can he do to us?"

"He is just a fledgling."

Reizer, at the other end of the phone, didn't refute him. Neither did he give any warning. This Patriarch of the Tarragon family is way too conceited. Because of his status and power, he doesn't take anyone in his eyes easily.

But that's also his mistake. Even if he doesn't think much of awakeneds. He should know it's been only a month since the world changed. For Shin and the others who can already show such great strength and growth. They are a threat. Dealing with them is not easy.

That is also the reason Reizer is being cautious.

Thinking that there was no point in warning about this. He decided to talk about the other matter.

[Is everything going according to plan?]

At Reizer's question, Zorus didn't think much and answered.

"The experiments have borne some results. Soon everything will be ready. You can also prepare on your end."

[Sure, I'll send another batch of subjects.]

"It's better to bring the young ones," Zorus said.

The subjects they were talking about were a batch of children to whom they were going to inject the upgraded serum.

*Beep*

The call on the other end was suddenly hung up.

Zorus snorted in dissatisfaction and threw the phone on his side.

"That old man has become way too cowardly. If not for the cooperation, I would have killed him long ago."

"Why do we have to work with them, Dad?"

A voice full of dissatisfaction resounded in that room.

A handsome young man seemed to be in his twenties with a blonde ponytail and a little sassy look entered Zorus' line of sight.

Zorus' eyes narrowed, looking at the young man in front of him.

"Sam, what are you doing here?"

Sam looked at his dad like a spoiled child and said, "I want to practice my new moves."

Zorus sighed and said, "I'll let someone to send you a few ordinary humans. After they die, don't forget to dispose of their corpses."

Sam shrugged and said, "I know. You don't have to remind me."

Seeing his leaving back, Zorus sighed and muttered. "Why is there so much difference between Sam and Nelson?"
