Bottleneck

It had been 2 years since the organization decided to lay low, and recently there have been a bunch of bank robberies and an upsurge of crime in the outer area of the city, there was even a kidnapping of a noble kid, but they never found him.

Darknik was walking through the inner section of the city, window shopping. He looked a bit more mature (As mature as a ten-year-old can be), and he was wearing a plain crimson T-shirt and a black pair of sweatpants.

His tail had grown longer and his pupil got a bit larger, making his iris look smaller. He had let his hair grow out in whichever way it wanted to, and it somehow became slightly pointy (Think Bakugo's hairstyle).

His horns also became a bit longer, but were still pretty small, and the ever-present Tattoo never got any bigger or smaller.

Darknik was thinking while he was mindlessly looking through windows. 'I've gotten stronger, but recently I feel like I've hit a bottleneck, and battling with Dad isn't helping me improve. I don't really know any kids my age, and even if I did, they are not strong enough, and I don't really like talking to people older than me.' Darknik sighed. 'Well at least I'm getting closer to finding that organization. I found two of their hideouts, so if I can capture some of their men, I can get someone to interrogate them and find out where their base is, and tear out the problem from the roots.'

'Of course, I'm not stupid enough to go alone, so I'll ask Dad to send someone to watch me, but tell them to not interfere unless I am about to die. That way, I fix 2 problems at once, the organization and my bottleneck.'

After Darknik finished up his shopping with buying some snacks to munch on, he went to the royal teleportation cube and traversed his way through the halls to his dad's office.

Darknik knocked on the door and soon Kainik opened the door remotely and told Darknik to come inside. Once inside Darknik looked around.

There were various unfinished gadgets around the brightly lit room, and a big desk with a comfy Basilisk leather chair. Sitting on it was Kainik, doing some paperwork.

"So, what do you need?" Kainik asked as he looked up at Darknik.

"Can't I just visit my dad and see how he's doing?" Darknik said as he feigned a hurt face.

"If you wanted to visit me you wouldn't do it in my office. Hurry up, I just got an influx of paperwork that is calling for me. Seriously, I wouldn't have become king if I knew about all the paperwork that came with it, at least I have some freedom."

Not bothering with the info dump/complaining, Darknik told Kainik what he wanted.

"I was going to ask you if I can attack one of the "Organization's" bases. After investigating and asking around, I already found 2 of them. I know you won't send me alone, so just send someone to watch me, as long as they don't interfere."

"Yeah sure, just be back before 7." Kainik waved Darknik off and continued his work. Surprised, Darknik just shrugged and left. After he left, Kainik looked at the corner of the room and addressed someone dressed in dark clothing covering his whole body who seemingly appeared out of thin air. "Thinta, just keep following him."

"Understood my liege." After kneeling, Thinta speed off in the direction Darknik left.

Kainik appeared to be thinking as he started signing papers again. 'I expected him to run off without telling me, but it's good that he told me first, he's much better than me when I was a kid. But honestly, I'm fucking overpowered, does he really think that I haven't found any of the hideouts? I found all of them, and that so called organization is just a ragtag group of idiots! Well, at least until last year, but only because I allowed them to grow in power.'

'If they weren't able to provide a challenge to Darknik, I would just take their souls and torture them for daring to think they could kidnap my son. But now I can let Darknik become stronger by himself and teach him a few things using live subjects.'

Kainik finished signing a paper than started reading another one. Soon his expression got distorted and then filled with anger. 'WHO THE HELL KEEPS POOPING IN THE PUBLIC SUANA!!! THATS IT!!!!! I'm going to send a robot to monitor the Sauna and beat the shit out of whoever keeps doing that!!!!!'

After a dozen minutes of jumping from rooftop to rooftop, Darknik finally arrived at his destination, a rinky dink house with a few broken window and rotten wooden boards.

"Let's do this." Whispered Darknik as he cast Shadow step and jumped into one of the windows of the house.
