Chapter 273: The Separate Paths We Walked

[Hidden City]

Normally Kaido's help towards them was fulfilled as his freedom was also assured, thus making him able to walk around

With those restrictions and chains out of the way, Kaido freely left the hall as he goes out of the building and started to walk around as if he owns the place

Of course some people on the streets would immediately notice him and were either have mixed feelings about him

Well he can't blame them as he did rampaged when he was teleported back with them in the middle of the square

As he walls around he started to look at places such as shops, districts, market and even weaponry and found that this place was what you call infant city, a city where it was still in it's development stage

As much as he likes to walk around freely, that doesn't it still irritate him when he's being followed around

Sensing presence behind him, he soon turned around to face them as he fully complained about their presence and all

"You know for the fuck sake! You guys are just really bad when your secretly following me" said Kaido

But when he turned around he could see Ingrid together with Rebecca and Melfina, were following behind him

"We're not following you secretly, we know that such tactics is useless, so we just have to come clean since we're planning to follow you anyway" said Ingrid

Hearing that Kaido sighed as he literally calmed himself down from all these tension that was surrounding him

"Tell me... What connections do I have with you guys?"

When he asked that both Rebecca and Melfina immediately answered

"You are my first ever friend" said Rebecca

"Your my master whom I've dedicated my life into" said Melfina with a respectful gaze

Soon upon hearing that he turned towards Ingrid only to saw the latter becoming red of embarrassment

"Um... I'm... Uh!... I'm... I'm your..."

Hearing her stuck in whether to embarrass herself or not, Kaido instead just let it go as he nonchalantly waved his hand

When the three of them saw that hand movement, they suddenly felt nostalgic as in the past Kaido would often do that to the when he doesn't want to dwelve into the topic that deep

"Of you don't want to tell me then don't"

Soon after he somehow sense something wrong in the surroundings when he suddenly felt something inside the building

"This place... What's this place?"

When he asked that, Rebecca as a person who spends the most time in this city here Ong the three of them, immediately answered

"This is the medical ward, their are patients inside"

With that answer Kaido coolly entered the place with both hands on his pocket and barged inside without minding the guards

Of course he just blew them away the moment he was blocked, luckily Rebecca was there to apologize in his stead and followed him

"Um... Kaido-sama!" Hesitated Melfina

For the first time In a while she suddenly felt a tinge of a familiar feeling when she said those words infront of Kaido after all,the familiar word and the familiar back, it was as if she had returned in the past prior to the day when they were teleported away to the Elven kingdom

"Kaido-sama! May I ask what are we doing here?"

On the the other hand Kaido didn't care at all whatever they call him as he answered nonchalantly

"You don't have to ask too much, as much as I know I'm not oblige to tell you anything... So if your going to be following me around you damned elf, then shut your fucking mouth"

As he said that he once again followed his instincts as he stopped infront of a certain door which was immediately recognized by the other three

"....."

"!!!"

"This is..."

Not minding their reactions at all, Kaido immediately opened the door and saw a Siren little girl laying on the bed as if she were sick or something

Naturally the doctors and their assistants that were taking care of Sui was surprised by the sudden intrusion

"Oi! Who are you? Why did you come here" said the guy who seemed to be an apprentice of the doctor

But instead of listening to it, Kaido silently bypassed him as he mockingly stared at the apprentice who knows nothing

After that the whole staff immediately saw Ingrid as the latter immediately made them take a break and leave the room

Not going against her orders the staff immediately left the scene as they respected Ingrid for managing the city for the past few months

As for the person who started to establish a city in this forest, they all thought that such person was either dead or just a myth that was being talked by the locals

When the staff left Kaido soon approached Sui by the bed as he scanned her body by tracing across her body using his hands

Starting from the head his hands soon travelled downward lightly touching some private parts then finally arriving somewhere near her rib cage and was somehow aimed for her heart

Sensing this injury Kaido soon lifted his sleeves and unbutton that part of Sui's body causing both Rebecca and Ingrid to feel somewhat embarrassed

But as for Kaido he soon opened up her shirt only to see a huge purplish scar just underneath her chest line

"Looks like someone aimed for the heart, unfortunately he didn't succeed as such attack is about few inches away from the original position of a human's heart" said Kaido

Soom his fingers touched her wound causing Sui's expression to turn ugly from the stinging sensation

Soon after when Kaido's calamity aura touched the wound sparks of purple electricity soon came out and shock him for a moment causing both Sui and Kaido's expression to turn sour

"Hoh! An unidentified energy... If only Aileene was here, she would be fascinated by such specimen of observing this little girl"

Hearing a female name coming out of Kaido's mouth made Ingrid somehow feel jealousy for the first time

But nevertheless she continued to observe

Soon after Kaido's smiled as he placed his hand over Sui's wound and started to emit his Calamity aura

Soon black aura surged around the room causing everything around it to shake violently as the walls started to crack open

As for the three people that followed him, they have never felt such an immense suppression to pin the three of them down, what's more this oppressive aura was coming from Kaido himself

After awhile Kaido soon controlled his vastly violent aura and directed all of it towards the wound

Soon two opposing and violent aura Soon clashed causing sparks of purple lightning and black Lightning to attack each other as if two forces were trying to devour each other

For the first time Kaido felt a sense of challenge just coming from the aura alone

Feeling such thrilling sensation he soon was enthralled by it as he swore to find such interesting person

"Ha... Haha... Ahahahaha!!! Whoever inputted such violent aura into this child is truly a viscous person who wanted such child to die" laughed Kaido

"What do you mean?" Asked Ingrid seemingly noticing the crazed eyes of Kaido

"What I mean? I meant that the person who inflicted such injury planted this kind of wound purposely not to only scare it's helpers but also show them the inevitable" replied Kaido

"Huh? What!!!" Reacted Rebecca

"It is as I said such method is like a torture as if left untouched then this child would slowly suffer from the pain until she died cause of it... This is called merciless painful death"

After that Kaido soon injected the aura unto her wound causing his hand to start to burn from the clashing of both violent aura

"Unfortunately I'm here, such method of torture such as this meant nothing to me"

Just as he said that, Kaido soon arched his mouth into a wicked smile full of contempt and evilness as he stared down on Sui

"Hahahahaha... Ahahahaha!"

With force Kaido Soon took a hold of something and forcefully pulled it out of Sui's body causing the latter to feel an immense pain in her body, but the moment Kaido successfully pulled the aura out of her, the wound that was inflicted on her slowly healed itself as Sui felt relieved and refreshed

As for Kaido, in his palm was mass of purple aura being suppressed by his Calamity aura

Slowly but surely he close his hand and crushed such force as if it was nothing as he continued to laugh

"Kukuku... Kuhahaha... Amazing! Another terrifying power different from my own, this aura... If such thing was directed to me then this could mean a war was being initiated... What a pity"

Soon after he looked down at Sui as he suddenly felt a hand of a little girl touched his fingers

Soon after it took ahold of him as the girl named Sui slowly opened her eyes with tears falling down from it

With a hoarse and longing voice that was filled with sorrow Sui called out to Kaido as she took a hold of his warm hand

"Pa... Pa... Papa... Papa... Papa.... Pa... Papa..."

For a moment tears also fell down from Ingrid's eyes as she somehow felt the sorrow of losing something

For Sui who was just a child she had witnessed how her original father went missing, and saw how her mother died infront of her, so when Kaido disappeared without a trace for many months you can just imagine the sorrow of a child who only considered Kaido as her last relative alive to suddenly disappear

But with his appearance infront of her, all kinds of emotion suddenly swelled up as Sui cried with tears of both sorrow and joy from seeing Kaido

"Papa... Sui held it in... Sui tried her best... Sui became strong... Sui... Sui misses you... Please... Please don't leave Sui alone... Papa..."

The moment the girl named Sui called Kaido out once more, she then fell asleep once again due to fatigue causing the room to become silent even for Kaido who was once laughing

Sighing for awhile Kaido asked

"Tell me... Who is this kid to me?"

Naturally Kaido heard what Sui said so he was curious just what happened in his past

"Sui... Sui is your a kid you took in and treated like you own, she treated you like her father, for her you are her world, for her you are the remaining relative alive... So please don't push her away" begged Ingrid

"Hoh? How can you say that I would push the kid away?" Asked Ingrid

After awhile Ingrid said

"I had an ability since childhood to be able to read people's inner motive, and I heard yours... Your planning on abandoning her on someone else... Please don't that, I begged of you" urged ingrid

Soon after Kaido could also see Rebecca and Melfina who seemed to have cried awhile to also pleaded to him not to leave Sui alone

After seeing this he soon turned away and exited the room as he said

"Let me... Think about it"

With that he left elsewhere to avoid such choking atmosphere

******

Time has passed since Kaido left the medical ward as Ingrid, Rebecca, and Melfina could be seen hiding among the trees together with some people coming with them to ensure their safety

They were hiding in between this trees as they were instructed by Kaido not to interfere

On their palm a crystal could be seen as it transmit what it see towards the main hall where most of the other people that had connections to Kaido were watching just how would he get rid of such an enormous army

Soon after they could see him walking confidently out of the forest and stood infront of the campsite of the enemy

Of course the opposing army saw him as they put their guard up and called the royal Knight's

Soon after the following Royal Knight's showed up

- Nicholas

- Edgar

- Mulberry

- Sean

- Kelvin

Seemingly ranking from 1st to 5th

Soon after another Royal knight joined them

******

If one look close to it they would immediately realize that the holy city was left unguarded by the Royal Knight's

But due to it's high defensive output such a thing wasn't needed to be worried about

Soon after they heard Kaido calling out to them from afar

"You bunch of ants, I'll give you a choice if you flee now then I'll not make your life any worse than this, but if you don't... Kukukuhahahaha!!! I'll show you something you wouldn't forget"

Upon hearing this arrogance Nicholas who was the leader of the Royal Knight's saw how the other Royal Knight's treats this as a rise since there's no way only one person is enough to fight a thousands men

"I think your overestimating yourself, if the city that you protect surrenders itself then we won't resort to force, none can escape judgement!" Said Nicholas

Hearing such a reply Kaido then replied back

"I wasn't asking you know..." He said with a devilish smile

Soon many people from the army exclaimed and screamed in fear as they pointed into the sky

When everyone turned their eyes towards to the sky, all of them were completely stunned by the sight as a huge meteor followed by countless small meteors were falling above them with an intend to decimate the whole army

With a grin Kaido laughed at their misfortune

"I told you so"
