Chapter 068: Mitra's Wrath

================================

"I can't contact anybody!"

"We can't reach the outside!"

"Comms are down! There's no signal!"

"Switch to radio signal!"

"It's still the same!"

"God, what's happening... who's intruding to the House of Levingston's property?"

The cries of men resounded. Although they aren't afraid, they were still surprised by the fact that an individual, alone at that, actually dared to invade the property of a Duke of a World Noble.

Six people showed up in the corner leading to the elevator, and from here, they saw an intense fight between two people who threw punches and kicks at incredible inhuman speeds.

Within five seconds, they punched at least ten times. And each time they unleashed a punch, not one of the two dared to —no, they can't— dodge the attacks of the other.

"Aaaaaahh!!"

"Haaaaaaaahhh!!"

Two simultaneous roars of men, two fists, two faces received them and they were blasted off to the walls from the force they unleashed.

All those six who saw them trembled as the punch of each of them sent the other hurling in the air for at least 5m before the walls on either side was dent when receiving those attacks.

Kanzu stood up, face and hair disordered. He was looking at Rex as if he was looking at a real beast in human skin.

Rex also stood up after bouncing but unlike his opponent who was frowning with blood trickling down his lips, he was smiling, the violence born of his wrath not having been satiated one bit.

He saw the six men who trembled when their eyes met and he declared, "Good... the more of you in here, the more blood will be splattered in the floor of this suite. Hahaha..."

Rex took heavy steps towards Kanzu and Kanzu roared again, lunging at Rex with a martial kungfu that had both scary precision and force that it rent his muscles despite it being reinforced by the NanoMechs in his body.

Strong! Really strong!

Kanzu's speed was monstrous in normal humans' standards and Rex was equal with him in this one aspect. That's why he was enjoying every bit of it.

PLANG!!

—like the sound of metal hitting another metal.

Same stance, same posture, with the difference being the fact that one of them retreated as the other advanced.

"Argh!!" Kanzu cried in pain a he felt his left hand rattling to the pain of the collision.

—what the hell is his fist made of?!!

He stepped back waving his left hand to minimize the pain, while Rex took this opening as a chance and kicked, kneed, and kicked again... it wasn't a karate move anymore... it was Muay Thai.

Kanzu was shocked. Muay Thai was a Martial Arts meant for killing, communalized for general public but before this simplified sport-version became a national Martial Sport for Thailand, it was a Military Martial Arts first that was meant for killing.

It was called "Muay Boran" and it was a lethal art.

The art itself boasted precision as its weapon and often times, it was also called the Eight Limbs Art by some because it uses the entire body as the weapon itself.

But that's not more, because Muay Thai had one large flaw —its limited variability. As such, Rex put in something more in between the openings on his muay stances.

Just as Kanzu blocked a knee, Rex leapt in the air and delivered another knee on his left temple.

Kanzu blocked with his left arm and pushed out with his right. The attacking force died but Rex's bastardly dirty way of fighting used his hips as a step using his left leg whose knee he had blocked earlier. The pain of being kicked and stepped on was immense and Kanzu chopped to severe his thigh but it was grabbed and crushed in midair.

"AAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Kanzu desperately broke off and retreated, his left hand was now bleeding.

—What the fuck is with that monstrous grip?!!

"Bastard! BASTARD!!"

"I told you I will crush you bones!" Rex hissed and he lunged again.

"Don't just stand there, kill him!"

Kanzu already knew that in terms of build, Rex has a larger and harder body than his. Speed wise, the two are a match. But in terms of technique, he was superior. Only in terms of fighting experience did he lose to this Mitra greatly. The guy was a clever bastard that uses many tricks in the middle of the fight to overwhelm him and create an opening to attack with monstrous precision.

Since he was smaller than Mitra, Kanzu realized he was not going to win like this and so, he would win with numbers and weapons.

Pride was no longer within the equation and it was now just them and the intruder.

The six pulled their guns and pointed the muzzle at their enemy while Kanzu retreated at the back as he ran towards the suite. He didn't even think twice that this man was here for these kids since their Intel said that these guys are normal people and they aren't in any way connected to the dark side of society that dealt with coercion and death.

Bullets were fired but Rex moved with incredible speed to duck. Their muzzles follow but he didn't let up and dashed forth like a snake with his body almost touching the floor.

There were holes and dents on the floor. They're a result of his fight with Kanzu. Rex tackled the man nearest to his location and he tumbled face first to the ground where Rex rose up like a tide and twisted him, throwing him to the rest of his buddied while he did kungfu stuffs; punches and kicks that hit the men on their bodies dealing the most pain that rendered them unable to stand up to continue fighting for a period of time.

Afraid of hitting their allies, the six men struggled in hand to hand combat but they can't win with just will and guts alone.

Within five seconds, Rex incapacitated the six men and looked over at the direction of the suite where fourteen other men have already gathered.

Rex pulled his own guns and fired before the men could, and what he hit were their legs, injuring all of them to the point that they wouldn't be able to stand up properly.

Hand and mind coordination was, of course, taken cared of by Cortana through her control of the 3% of the entire NanoMech in his body, but the entire movement pattern was, just now, also recorded to be installed via [Focus] later. Even his fight earlier with Kanzu was an important reference to be put directly into his brain after being fully analyzed as an entire set of useful experience.

Only Kanzu, trembling in horror at the sight of an entire squad of 14 people falling at the same time in agony, was left.

"You used guns against me I will also use guns on you... fair isn't it?"

Rex slowly walked towards him and while the rest of the men tried to pull out their guns and point at him, Rex warned, "If you don't want to get a bullet in the head, I suggest you lay down in there and pretend you're dead. Otherwise, what I'm about to do to that Japanese guy will happen to you all as well. Get it?"

His words were delivered with acidic warning that the 14 (shallowly) wounded men didn't doubt they will experience it. But... what exactly is it?

"G-G-G-Get away from me!"

"Nope. No can do. I told you, I will break all your bones and connect them again and break you again, didn't I?"

"N-N-No... GAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!"

Before, when he killed Igorov, Kanzu was NOT a woman in the slightest but when Rex actually did it to him —dislocating his bones, not breaking, and then reconnecting them again only to be dislocated again and again— only did Kanzu cried like a woman in pain from labor.

Meanwhile, since feeling the tremor earlier and hearing the commotion outside, none of the three people taking a bath and cleaning themselves dare to go out and check it.

*****

20 minutes later, 14 bleeding men and six 'alright' men were standing in a file in front of Rex.

Kanzu, in a daze, was in front of them.

—all of them had vacant eyes and drooling.

Just now, Rex had just finished brainwashing the lot —especially Kanzu who had many layers of mind defenses installed to him— and even gotten a few useful information from all of them.

Most especially from Kanzu...

The UNICORN or Unified Continents Organization to the world in paper and history books, was in the shortest term, a dictatorial monarchy of the World Nobles who declared themselves [The Celestial Dragons] not too long ago, had a simple plan in mind...

Help the Duke of Levingston get what they want, while the Duke Palace get what the UNICORN wants, [Siva] —no, to be exact, the person playing as Siva... Rex Kingsley.

This piece of news shocked him greatly.

All this time, the UNICORN knew all along that it's him and they planned to use this chance to get a grip on him by kidnapping Amanda.

If he wasn't as strong and if he didn't get Neth's gift, Cortana, he wouldn't have been able to recall everything and he wouldn't be able to get where he was now.

Cortana was the key to everything.

If it wasn't for her, Rex Kingsley wouldn't even be here today and winning against these people. The thought that the UNICORN knew how he was Rex Kingsley wasn't important, what's important is that they knew that he was coming to Lausanne and that he may already be here.

They just don't know where he currently was.

And that is an advantage.

Through repeated pain and suffering, Kanzu is now Rex's follower. He stretched a hand and held the man's broken left hand. He wounded himself and let his own blood sweep in it, aligning all those broken bones since he can't fully heal it.

What he can do was to align all sensitive ligaments and broken bones then use ten minutes of pure accelerated healing to close shallow wounds until it can heal by itself before covering it with enough bandage and even a splint.

Only after it was done did he stop and recovered the NanoMechs he used back to his body.

"Listen up." Rex clapped his hand and the people stood in attention. Including Kanzu. "Go to the 106th floor and get yourself treated there. After that, prepare the cars and destroy all the records you have as your old person. From this day forth, you are no longer connected to anybody else but me for I am your boss and you will only follow my commands and no one else's unless I say so. If you understand, speak your designation."

"We are all Agents of Mitra. We are under Mitra's every commands."

"Good. Now move it."

The twenty men moved like a tide. Their dull and limpid soulless eyes went back to normal but they now have devotion and a deep sense of loyalty when looking at Rex.

Rex turned off the loud music and turned around, entering the bathroom where his friends huddled themselves like weak children.

When he opened the door, Mat lunged to attack but Rex already knew he was waiting there and so stepped up and grabbed his weapon.

"Matt. It's me. You can relax."

The guy was shocked and looked over the man, staring at the face wearing the mask. They knew immediately who the guy was.

"Rex..." Matt sighed then he took a step back and then laughed bitterly. Rio collapsed where she was standing while Agatha ran to his embrace and cried as if she'd never cried before.

Listening to the girl's cries and the tightness of her embrace, Rex understood that she might have really been scared by this experience.

"He touched her!" Rio roared with anger. "There is a huge man who touched her!"

"Waaaaaaahahaha.... I was so scared... I was so scared Rex... Wuuuuuaaaahaaaaa..."

After she cried, Agatha finally collapsed but Rex caught her and carried her to a room. While Matt supported Rio and hugged her and kissed her. It was an advancement in their relationship —a big and sudden one at that— but she seemed to not mind it and in fact found his embrace reassuring as she too fell asleep.

Matt, despite wanting to rest, still talked with Rex.

"You killed him, right? The guy that touched Agatha..."

Rex thought. There was a corpse in one of the room and it was a big guy. But he wasn't the one who killed him. Still, it's not as if it was important. If the guy's dead then Agatha was still avenged.

"He's dead." He only said.

Matt nodded, the anger in his eyes vanishing, "It was hard for Agatha. She will sure get a trauma in this one."

"I will help her recover."

Matt looked at him and then to the room.

"We can't stay here." he said. "These guys are a Duke's Palace Guards from Christiana Monarchy, a World Noble. You were right. They really wanted you but this time, they also want Amanda for the crown. I only realized that she was a Princess after these guys told us. They won't rest until they can get their hands on us to be taken as hostage to make Amanda submit to them."

"I'm already on it. We're going to switch hotels. I'm already preparing the cars."

Matt blinked at him. "Who's preparing it?"

"My minions." He said then he received a notif and looked at Matt, nodding, "It's ready. Let's go. Oh, and you might want to grab a popcorn."

As they walked, Rex added and Matt looked at him with narrowed eyes of suspicion and lack of sleep.

"Why would I want to have popcorn?"

"Because a big show is about to begin."

"A big show? What big show?"

Rex only laughed. Suspense.

Of course, getting out of the building was easier than getting in.

Rex erased all records in the building and ordered men to burn the entire records room.

They took the employee's cars and wore masks and gloves.

Four cars carrying twenty people and four teens escaped the building and all tracks about their existences were erased in all of the databases available in any medium.

They used four routes to meet in a single location but on the way, they changed cars four times and it was all with the help of Cortana's careful system hacks that left no trace behind the deed.

After that...

The Duke of Levingston's manor got a news that a system breach happened. Information were taken and compromised, business deals, underground deals, secret passwords, bank accounts, all kinds and forms of information and data about House of Levingston were taken away and within seconds, their businesses changed owners, their dealers and partners changed sides.

A Noble House in the World Government became broke and many people gasped at the news.

In a matter of seconds, the House of Levingston fell and the Christiana Monarchy were aghast by the fact that 1/5th of their country's pillars were taken down legally by hackers and the person who did it all goes by the name of Mitra.

—that Mitra who cracked the code and formula on how to predict the stock markets and how to take advantage of all tiny cracks that generates money without wasting millions of credits and time.

Christiana Monarchy issued a warrant demanding an explanation but Mitra only held the House of Levingston's assets for three seconds before he sold it again ten times the price he got it.

The new owner... was nobody else but the House of Bryn, and they were more than happy to buy it from him along with a promise to a piece of news.

[The Duke of Levingston kidnapped Amanda.]

Suffice to say, Mitra was on the side of Amanda.

This was scandalous news that the House of Bryn did not dare to publicize for it will destroy not only the Duke's House, but the entire country as well.

Intrinsically, with Mitra's information, an hour after the information was provided to them, a raid was conducted and Amanda's location was secured by the people of the House of Bryn.

And the House of Levingston, well, they became a subordinate House under the House of Bryn but it was just in title for the sake of the masses since all those with eyes and ears knew that the House of Levingston had already fallen.

The former five Noble Houses of the Christiana Monarchs, are now only down to two.

Even the current Queen was surprised.

After this incident, the power the House of Bryn held in the country tripled with this acquisition.

The members of the House of Levingston —with Mitra's tip that they have colluded with a person called "Heavenly Father" working for the World Government of a different Noble House, in a matter of hours— fell from their pedestal.

The Head of the House, Duke Levingston, and his wife and father, committed suicide from the shame and pain of the tragedy that befell their family for the sake of this one single deal.

A catastrophe of such a level, and the person who did it all was Mitra.

Mitra's name became a hero for the Noble House of Bryn, but he was a frightening shadow cast over the lives of the other Noble Houses, even of the other World Nobles.

They all promised to themselves that no matter what happens, they will have to play it fair. Or if they can't help it, they have to make sure that this Mitra will not find out about it.

The House of Levingston was a good example of what NOT to do. In this battle to the throne, they went as far as being used as pawn for this person called "Heavenly Father" and also discovered that although the UNICORN seemed to be a large unit moving in accordance to a unified opinion, they're still made up of people and greed will always be a part of people's nature.

Other World Nobles who were contacted by this so called "Heavenly Father" had to think twice for they knew that if they choose to accept the man's proposals, Mitra, who seemed to be antagonistic with this Heavenly Father, will unquestionably put his finger in it and bring them down.

It's better to not meddle in this shadowy war.

They were World Nobles, they should be feared, but even then, they are still people and people had weaknesses and weaknesses seem to be the forte of these two unknown and unseen entities of the dark.

As such, the underground world became a lively place where transactions of differing levels, but all kinds, were conducted... and Mitra's name and the "Heavenly Father" became the hottest topic to be caring news about.

—and these all happened within three hours after the rescue in the Corporate Building.
