Chapter 11: Fame!

"You went too far Akila, we could have captured him alive and questioned him" Kira said with a slight frown on his face. He found it difficult to speak since his lower lips were damaged to an extent, at this point he eyes twitched due to pain each time his lips smacked at each other as he spoke.

Thud!

Thud!!

Zero staggered to a corner of the room and leaned on the wall. He seemed to have sustained more damage than the others! Even though his injuries weren't physical, they were more fatal than that of the others.

"It's okay… That man possessed terrifying strength… there is no way we could have subdued him with our current strength… We were just too weak... I am afraid if the fight lasted a little longer … One of us would have been killed…" Zero said with the same indifferent look on his face, but this time he looked drained and exhausted.

"Yea… that guy hurt us all real bad… there is no way I was going to let him go so easily" Akila quickly defended himself with the fighting spirit still boiling fiercely in his eyes. Two fists imprint could be seen on his chest and his mouth area was stained with blood. Any other person on the team would have died after taking such a blow head-on, but Akila survived and still remained standing. This displayed the terrifying defensive capabilities of the reinforcement ability.

"The fact this person was sent to end our lives means that the god sect and the sovereign federation are watching closely… With this stunning victory against a stronger foe, we have definitely caught their undivided attention… things won't be easy from now on" Dan said with a straight face as he leaned on the wall. He supported his right hand with his left and his face showed signs of pain.

"Yea… We really need to improve our strength as quickly as possible…" Akila said with a stern look on his face.

"That's not possible for the meantime, we need an alternative" Kira said as he picked up a chair and sat on it.

"Our parents neglected the importance of hired bodyguards because they were strong… we too did not notice this until today… Chairman Andrew, prepare a list of all the high ranking bodyguards in the capital… Cross check their background thoroughly and don't make a mistake… Interview them personally and send those who can be trusted over to us for hiring… Since we can't depend on our strength, we can only rely on the strength of others until we get to the level where we can finally protect ourselves" Zero said with a loud voice.

Andrew staggered forward with a terrified look on his face as he looked at these four kids. He has always been loyal to these families and never bore ill intentions towards them, in fact, he has helped them on so many occasions and he was pretty sure that these people would think of harming him in any way but he still felt scared!

He already knew they possessed the ruthless nature of their parents and when it was revealed that they all possessed insane levels of potential, surpassing that of their parents he was overjoyed! He knew the future of these kids was bright and soon they will take the positions of their parents and move the company forward. But he never expected them to be this talented.

Stabilizing their realm in just two days coupled with almost completing their first combat technique creation!

Even he did not believe their words until a moment ago when Zero utilized an incredible technique! Their growth speed is just too fast! Too terrifying!!!

"Yes, yo...young master Zero" Andrew answered respectfully.

At this moment the large doors at the entrance of the room slammed open and over ten three-star bodyguards rushed in, including Alfred. The lower level bodyguards surrounded the possible exit routes in case the target decides to flee. But to their greatest surprise, when they arrived the battle was already over!

All four heirs of the company sustained serious injuries of various kinds and the smell of burning flesh still filled the room. They noticed the glass wall has been damaged and a thought strolled into their minds and they quickly ran towards that area and looked down, only to see the lifeless body of the assassin, lying in a pool of his blood with both eyes wide open. He looked terrified even in death, this made the guards wonder if these kids were the ones responsible for this.

It would normally take three 3 star bodyguards to fight a 4-star bodyguard if they want to have any chance of winning. Yet these kids actually took out this man, all alone!

"Did… Did the young masters do this?" Alfred asked with a terrified look on his face.

He felt stupid for asking the question in the first place, just guessing from the way chairmen and chairwomen were gazing at these four kids fearfully as if they are monsters, he already knew the answer to the question. His fear for these four deepened and rose to a whole new level! If they were able to kill a four-star bodyguard, doesn't it mean that they can end his life as well?

While people were scared of them and shocked by their strength, the four heirs knew they only won due to sheer luck. If this man took them seriously from the very beginning, he would have ended Akila with the first blow he landed and Kira too when they were locked in a close-ranged battle the first time. At that point, Zero and Dan will be barely able to defend against him, they would have died even before the guards arrived. The problem of most people who have reached a certain level of strength is, they usually hold back and hide their true strength in front of those they deem to be weaker than themselves. This is the reason why most of them die weird and shameful deaths, in a battle between two people, the unknowns about a person is what makes people put up their guards at all times. A mere second can determine the victor in battle, it is very important one tries to end the battle as quickly as possible.

Zero and the others were not satisfied with the outcome of this confrontation. Not only did they barely survive this encounter, but they also drew more attention towards themselves. They have shown the world that they possessed insane potential and learning capabilities which normal people cannot compare to. Now they have successfully defeated the green belt, martial art practitioner, the god sect will definitely send someone stronger. A purple belt martial art practitioner or even a guardian from the sovereign federation. In such a situation, only an untimely death will await them!

"It came to our attention that a good number of you colluded with the government to rid us of power position in the company… Initially, we planned to vote you all out from the board but now things turned out this way, we will just overlook the incident…serve us the same way you served our parents and things will go smoothly for you… If you keep getting in our way, we will be forced to take action against you guys personally… Do you understand?" Dan said coldly.

His words were like fire and it instantly set these people ablaze, their hearts kept beating wildly and they nodded their heads in agreement while holding their breaths. Only after the four were escorted out of the room did they take breathe out.

They knew the implications of what happened right now, the fight between these kids and the green belt martial art practitioner was recorded by the various security cameras positioned at key points in the room. This news will most likely get out before they reach their homes. At this point, the fame of these kids will skyrocket and they will be treated as national treasures by the government after they displayed this level of talent at a young age. When this happens, their words will carry a lot of weight in the country and it won't be difficult for them to ruin any group or family with just a bad comment.

This time they have made a mistake! These kids are more terrifying than their parents!

These chairmen and chairwomen regretted making a move against these four and they returned to their homes with gloomy expressions on their faces. Even the proud Zhao Ling could not look his grandson in the face when he returned, just like Zero said, Li is nowhere near their level! Back then, he saw this as an insult but now he realized that these kids weren't gloating…

They were just stating a fact!
