Chapter 55: The Ones Who Are Hiding In The Dark.

Few hours after the fight between Mars and Adamas.

-2.30 AM-

*Ringgg*

Mars felt vibrations coming from his check pocket, he took a small black phone and saw a call coming from [Mad King]

''Fuck.'' Mars cursed, he thought declining the phone call for a moment, but he knows what happens if he does that…

Mad King isn't the guy with the best temper.

Mars gritted his teeth and accepted the phone call.

*Clank*

''MARS!'' He heard a loud roar from the phone.

''Fuck!'' Mars cursed and took the phone away from his ear.

Even the phone in Mars' hand, cracked a little bit as a result of Mad King's roar.

''What do you want!'' Mars roared in the phone.

''Mars, we are fucked, man!'' Mad King said on the phone.

Mars raised an eyebrow. ''What do you mean?''

*Sigh*

Mars heard a loud sigh on the phone.

Shortly afterward, Mad King answered. ''You defeated Adamas right?''

''Yes, and?''

*Sigh*

Another loud sigh came from the phone. ''You shouldn't have done that!''

Mars had a bad feeling about Mad King's words… Usually, he isn't afraid of anything, but now he seems panicking.

''Why?'' Mars asked.

''Adamas was Rankless King! Do you understand the consequences?!''

Mars sighed. ''Report didn't say that Adamas broke his limiter, we didn't have any other choice.''

''Well, he broke it! And Adamas told about it in the Underworld network before you attacked! That's why he was already classified as Rankless King! But now you, The Martial King. Took down a Rankless King, we are fucked, man!'' Mad King anxiously said.

Mars's face went slightly pale, but he managed to calm himself down.

''What is the situation?'' Mars asked.

''Not good! Underworld is currently very busy and I have even heard few Rankless Kings are rushing towards Gensa!''

''Fuck!'' Mars cursed, he was currently sitting in the backseat of a Military Vehicle.

They are not far away from a nearby prison, and they planned to drop the Henchmen there and take Adamas to the Enforcement Department's base.

But now this news came out.

''What about the other Enforcement Departments, what are they doing?'' Mars asked.

''Thankfully they are preparing to move their forces against the Rankless Ones, but man. This is only the beginning, soon Gensa will be a battlefield.''

''Not just Gensa… Entire Arya will be a battlefield.'' Mars facepalmed.

This was supposed to be a very simple operation.

…But not knowing fully what Adamas was capable of… Was their mistake.

''Mars… There is a solution, which could lessen the impact of the war.'' Mad King suddenly said.

''And what is that?'' Mars already knew what he was going to say.

''Release Adamas, maybe with that the battlefield will be mostly focused on Martial Kings and Rankless Kings, and hopefully, any Emperors won't show up.''

Mars put his hands on his face.

He fucked up, he knows it.

He again put the phone next to his ear.

He said slowly. ''Alright…''

''Good, release him in the border of Gensa. We don't really want him to say in Gensa to wreak havoc.'' Mad King said.

''Yes…'' Mars said and hang up the phone.

He took his radiophone and said to his subordinates about the change of plans.

They turned left and started making their way towards the border.

An hour later, they arrived at the border of Gensa.

In front of them was a huge metal gate that separates Gensa and the country next to them called Ansan.

One of the subordinates of Mars walked towards the guards and showed them the papers that they were part of the Enforcement Department.

Mars saw them nodding and opening the gates.

Shortly afterward, Mars and the dozen cars left the metal gates and entered Ansan's borders.

They drove a few kilometers until they finally saw a city not far from them.

They stopped the cars.

Mars stood up from the car and walked to the car which holds Adamas.

Mars opened the door and saw Adamas' cocky face.

He took Adamas from the car and threw him to the ground.

''Grhh.'' Adamas slightly gritted his teeth.

Mars put the key to the lock of the cuffs and unlocked it.

He could instantly feel Adamas' strength coming back.

''Leave, and you should know what happens to you if you wreak havoc here.'' Mars solemnly said.

Adamas chuckled and asked. ''And what would happen?''

Mars grinned and said. ''We will kill your brother Alec.''

Adamas stopped chuckling and looked at Mars with an angry face. ''Release him as well!''

Mars chuckled. ''You don't understand, do you? Underworld doesn't care sh*t about your brother, only you, because you are Rankless King, that's why we don't have to release anyone else.''

''You fucker!'' Adamas stood up in anger, instantly all the soldiers aimed their guns at him.

Adamas stopped moving, he saw all the guns pointing at him, even though he could probably survive the bullets, he would still get injured and he still remembers the beating he got from Mars.

Mars smiled slightly and said. ''Go join your Underworld buddies and leave the citizen of Ansan alone, and trust me - you want to do that because we won't only kill Alec. We will make his life miserable.''

Adamas gritted his teeth in anger.

Alec was his only family left.

Their parents died when Adamas was 7.

His big brother Alec was only 14 at that time, but he took care of him. Alec had to drop off the school to get a job, which wasn't easy at his age, but gladly he was Peak Martial Soldier which earned him some jobs. Adamas always knew that Alec would already be in Martial King rank if he didn't stop his Martial Arts career, but he had to take care of him, that's why he didn't have time to train anymore.

Adamas was always grateful to his big brother, and he would sacrifice his life for him.

''Fine!'' Adamas roared in anger, he wishes that he was strong enough to kill Mars and take Alec with him.

But he wasn't.

Today his arrogance disappeared completely.

'I will get my revenge one day…' Adamas swore. 'One day I will come back to Gensa, I will release my brother and kill Mars.'

Adamas watched with a hate-filled gaze as Mars entered the car and left shortly afterward.

Only leaving a cloud of dust behind.

''GRAAHHH!'' Adamas roared in anger and Nuclear Energy exploded from his body, destroying everything in a few hundred-meter radius.

He thought that he was a prodigy, who will become Rankless Emperor one day.

But today… He felt small.

''Kukuku.'' Suddenly Adamas heard a peal of creepy-sounding laughter behind him.

Adamas turned his head and saw three creepy-looking figures.

''…What the fuck.'' Adamas cursed, especially after seeing the man in the middle.

He had hunched back with wrinkles all over his face, he definitely looked around 80s, but the strength erupting him is from Martial King.

''You seem angry, Kukuku.'' He said with small laughter.

Adamas looked angrily at him and asked. ''And who the fuck are you!''

The old-looking man stopped laughing and looked with a serious face at him. ''You are Adamas right… The new Rankless King?''

''Yes, and so what?'' Adamas said angrily and was preparing to fight.

But then the old-looking man waved his hand and innocently laughed. ''Hehe, we aren't here to fight you.''

''Then why are you here?'' Adamas said, but he didn't take down his guard.

''We want you to join us.''

''Join who?'' Adamas asked with a raised eyebrow.

The old-looking man smiled slightly and said. ''War is coming… It will make the previous wars look like child's play… But this time… The War won't be only Martial Artists Vs. Rankless Ones… It will be much more.''

Adamas looked interested and waited for him to continue.

He spread his hands and said powerfully. ''This War will determine the ruler of the world! Join us, we are The Ones Who Are Hiding In The Dark, and with help of our Supreme Leader… We will rule this world one day!''

Adamas looked surprised, then he said with some curiosity. ''Supreme Leader… He seems strong…''

The old-looking man chuckled. ''He is… We have reasons to believe that he might be able to defeat Abyss.''

''Impossible!'' Adamas cried out, he started to have felt that this whole thing is a scam.

''Easy now… Abyss is getting weaker every day… While our Supreme Leader is getting stronger every day…'' The old-looking man said mysteriously, he still remembers the moment when he saw his Supreme Leader's strength first time.

It was like… Power of God!

''We can give you the strength to rescue your brother…'' The old-looking man said with a sly smile.

Adamas looked at him with widened eyes, he sighed and nodded. ''Alright.''

''Kukuku, Good!'' The old-looking man laughed and turned around.

He started walking towards the city near them with two other creepy-looking guys following him closely behind.

Adamas took a last look towards the metal gates on the horizon, he narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist.

He will come back…

Stronger than ever.
