RB Chapter 159 Flavor Of Youth

'I wonder why that woman didn't contact us.'

In a room with white water proof paint coating the walls, steam rose as jets of hot water fell onto a figure.

The steam caused the figure not to be easily visible, but it was a male. He was in his teens, his body not showing any fat...but well sculpted skin. The skin was brown and from his hands to his feet, his body was well toned and the muscles perfectly distributed. He was a fine specimen among many males. No scars existed on his person, only supple springy skin.

He had dark blue eyes which could make any woman become lost in. His face was perfectly matching with all his facial features as if an artist had sculpted it. His black hair was currently wet and sticking on his scalp. As he lathered soap all over his body, the water from the jets helped was away the foam.

This was the same day that the Lord and Legend rankings had launched. Eric was washing off the filth that had accumulated from multiple days in the wilderness. Even though he had taken a shower regularly in discovered streams, it wasn't as thorough as he was doing it now. The good thing was that a beard had not yet started to bother him, or else he might have needed a shave.

Apart from the first day when the missions involving true combat had been scarce, the other days had been hectic. The ants had finally been slowed down by a united collection of beasts and the missions had started to become even more dangerous and numerous. So, without any rest, they had been clearing the missions. They only been getting a few hours of rest during each day.

"What could she be planning?" He wondered out loud. The question Sally had posed to him earlier in the day was on his mind, eating away at his thoughts.

Cleo, the head of the Black Diamond Group and also currently the highest commander of the war knew about his current power. So why didn't she contact him to give him a designation to defend?

"Should I ask Michael?" He too, knew but he had only sent that video and not made any other move to contact him.

'He's probably still too busy.' He thought.

"Shit!" A curse escaped his lips and his eyes snapped shut instinctively. He had felt a stinging in them. Soap had accidentally made its way inside. He hurriedly brought his face near a jet of water and tried to get rid of the inconvenience.

"Chloe, have you found out anything?" Eric asked, his slippers tapping the ground as he walked into the room. A white towel was wrapped around his waist and a blue one around his head. His chest was exposed in all its glory.

"No, if there are any hidden spectrum warriors, then the internet can't find them. I think they do exist though. Probably its a precaution since the beasts can pick up on information." Chloe raised her head which had been resting on the holographic screen. Her eyes glittered as she beheld his upper body.

She herself was seated in the couch while wearing a white bathrobe, exposed at the chest area, allowing for a glimpse into the valley between the two mountains at her chest.

Eric couldn't help but take a few peeks at the valley, his imagination almost running wild.

"Its such a pity." A voice came from another of the people in the room, Elena. She and Leah were sharing a couch directly opposite Chloe with their backs to Eric. They too were in bathrobes.

Elena's head had been turned and she was examining his well toned upper body with a glint in her eyes.

"The perfection of your body has made you a very appealing mating partner, not to mention your strength...but I can't have you until someone gets accepted first." She sighed in resignation.

"I have never heard of you having any interest in boys. So stop teasing me." He said.

"You do remember that I said I will only go out with someone who bested me, right? I was serious. Right now you have that power and their is no need to prove it. If you want..." She licked her lips, her expression suggestive.

Eric gulped down a mouthful of saliva. Her wet brown hair was sticking to her face and her face was perfection itself. She was a very attractive girl as he closely observed. Her words had lit a fire within him causing him to focus more on her features, like those thin lips, which were starting to look inviting to him.

"Hurry up and accept Leah...cause I will also follow her choice...it will be a buy one get one free package." She softened her voice causing him to be drawn in.

'No no no...' His thoughts went into overdrive causing him to blush. He hurriedly turned around after mastering all his willpower plus the obvious tent in his towel which no one had yet to notice, racing into his room.

"Hahahaha..." He heard Elena's laughter behind him.

"Elena...you can't do that!" Leah chasitised her friend, and he felt that this time she was truly angry.

-----

"I believe there are many hidden spectrum warriors like us, though their information has alluded me. We will just have to settle with waiting for the woman to make contact us." Chloe had given up. They were back in the living room having thrown some clothes onto their bodies.

"I...think the current situation is good. If you are called away on an assignment, our group would have to disband." Leah said.

"Yeah, and there are those plotting to take us down, so the longer the secret is kept, the better." Elena also said in support of her friend.

"But Sally's warning...if Monki is plotting against us, he must have taken you power into consideration." Chloe cautioned.

"It would actually be good if you are given an assignment to a far off place." She continued.

As they were exchanging thoughts, a song played in the room. Eric knew that it was definitely a call from his patch as he was the one who had chosen the ringtone.

As he looked at the floating unfamiliar number in the communication patch at the back of his hand, he became puzzled.
