After 3 tries, Legolas finally succeeded in taming a Wild Coyote. His smile was wide as he caressed the beast's hide. "Nice".
…
4 hours after the young Summoner left the Blue Scale Shelter, another young superhuman warrior came on his contracted beast, a Wild Coyote.
On seeing that this warrior was a Summoner, some of the guards at the shelter gate gave him special attention but they soon turned their attention elsewhere since this was not the kid that they were tasked to watch.
This young Summoner was not a kid, this was a mature young man with a neat beard and mustache, he seemed like an experienced veteran warrior.
With a calm but no-nonsense look on his face, this superhuman warrior entered the shelter riding on his contracted beast.
Like was expected of all strangers to the shelter, this warrior entered inside a local bar where he was able to get more information about the shelter.
After spending over 40 minutes at this bar, Legolas finally confirmed that all the super warriors that were sent to stalk him already left.
"The Ultimate Man Potion is really the ultimate formula". He smiled.
At this moment, he was a 25-year-old looking young man with a neat set of beards and a mustache. He had red hair with red eyes to complement it.
Legolas no longer beat around the bush. He stood up before walking to a dark corner of the bar where 3 supers sat quietly sipping on a beer drink.
Legolas looked at these 3 warriors squarely in the face. "Code Lucifer".
The 3 warriors had no reaction to what he said, and Legolas did not repeat either as they just stayed looking at each other. This stalemate continued for a few seconds before 1 of the 3 warriors finally looked at him and spoke.
"Follow me".
Legolas followed without saying a word. A few minutes later, he was given a mask to wear before he passed through a secret passage underground to a room where a meeting seemed to be taking place.
There was a round table with 12 chairs surrounding it, and 8 of these chairs were already occupied, Legolas occupied the 9th chair.
In no time, others came as they engaged in criminal business. From selling illegal classified information to selling weapons, they did a lot of things.
50 minutes later when it was already evening, the illegal business finally came to an end. They did not leave though as the man on a blue trout-fish mask who seemed to be the leader of the gathering finally raised a topic.
"Who dropped the information at my base?"
"I". Legolas, the man on a red horror mask who had not spoken since the beginning of the gathering till now finally spoke.
Once he spoke, everyone listened since most of them came today because of what he had to offer.
Legolas like usual did not beat around the bush. "I have information on Prince Christensen, detailed information".
All of them were wary, but they at least gave him time to listen to what he had to say since they already came here.
10 minutes later, their eyes were shining with greed.
"Mission accomplished". Legolas commended himself calmly.
Having predicted Mr. Damien's cautiousness beforehand, he implemented this measure to fight against it if the situation ever required it. He already made all these preparations long before he returned Leo to the prince.
"A Summoner must always have a contingency plan".
…
Despite news of Legolas being scarce coming which meant that the young Summoner kept to his words and left, Mr. Damien still could not feel at rest.
For some reason, he felt that something unexpected was about to happen. Mr. Damien rubbed his arm hair that kept on standing. "What's happening?"
Still feeling restless, Mr. Damien stood up and walked to the window. As his eyes tried to focus outside, the first thing that he saw was a black shadow that kept on enlarging in his vision. His eyes widened.
Before he could react, the stone whipped him on the head.
Bonk!
Mr. Damien despite being a Pugilist felt dizzy as he fell on his butt.
It took a few seconds for him to recover, and this was when he heard the sounds of yelling in the luxurious hotel where the prince and his entourage lodged.
Mr. Damien was alarmed as his face turned serious the next moment. On returning to the damaged window, he looked down only to see Grade F superhumans from different gangs in the shelter wreaking havoc.
At this moment, the guards of the hotel were already embroiled in a fierce struggle with these gangsters as fists collided against face and vice versa.
Without a doubt, these people were after the prince.
Before Mr. Damien could even think of what to do, he received a distress signal from his warriors in the entourage of the prince. "They're after the prince!"
"How many?" Mr. Damien asked in a cold voice as he rushed to a part of the room where he kept his gadgets, he was dressed in his battle attire in no time.
"3 Grade E superhumans so far".
"Stall them, and wait for me".
Mr. Damien's main job description was a Butler, but he was also a powerful Pugilist. Instantly after he donned his armor and put on his Boxing gloves, as he was about to leave, he saw the 4th Grade E superhuman.
The Wild Coyote growled as it charged through the formation of warriors that guarded the hotel straight towards the nearest elevator.
On top of this charging Wild Coyote was the young Summoner who rode it.
Mr. Damien paused in his steps as he glared at this young Summoner who wore a red mask, he felt familiar vibes from him. Before the Wild Coyote could charge through the doors of the hotel, he brought out and crushed a token.
"Elementalist Barrier!"
Mr. Damien's contingency plan officially started.
