The woman was pinned on the wall, the general covering her mouth as he continuously swung his crotch back and forth. A voice suddenly resonated in the intercom on his computer desk.

"General, we have an urgent report from the Zamboanga branch." The man on the other side informed his business.

In that instance, a low moan came from the naked general. Picking his general clothes on the ground and wearing it, he sat on his chair and pressed the intercom. "Okay, come in."

"Oh sweetie…" b.u.t.toning her brown secretary uniform, the woman put on her gla.s.ses and sat on the general's lap. She then felt the general tapping her from behind and noticed the exigency on the general's face. "Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot..."

Standing back up on the side, the woman looked poised and composed. At that moment, the door to the office slammed open, a man in fatigues coming in. Saluting, the soldier spoke, "Sir. We have reports from the Camp General Basilio Navarro and… It was all destroyed…"

"What!?" The general stood up in consternation and rage. "What happened?"

"Graphical data shows that it seems to have been…" The man had a confounded face, clearly not believing the next part he was about to say. "Destroyed by powerful tornadoes…"

"Ahh…" The general sat back in his chair, resting both of his arms on the chair. "Call in the officer coordinating with the Camp General Basilio Navarro."

"Yes, sir!" Saluting prior to exiting, the man rushed out of the room.

"As for you…" The general rose and kissed the woman beside him pa.s.sionately. "I'll see you later tonight, honey. For now, you must go."

"Okay, handsome," without being suspicious of anything, the woman exited the office. At the door, she winked at the general and blew him a flying kiss.

Soon after the woman's departure, a 30-something man came inside. When he entered, the man saluted. "Sir, the camp is being decimated by a wielder as we speak."

Obviously, the two of them were part of WISERA and were people responsible for controlling knowledge of the existence of the wielders.

"I know." The general sighed. "So why aren't you contacting Puting Araw already? The head of Triple-A wouldn't like this at all…"

"The thing is…" The man explained why they haven't reported this incident to Puting Araw already. Apparently, the communications system to Puting Araw was blocked, hence, the agents couldn't, at all, communicate with Puting Araw. "What do we do, sir?"

"Send a WISERA agent to Liwayway Hotel right this instant!" The general was irked, seemingly confused of why was the communications between Puting Araw and the base was blocked. After all, the communication systems between Puting Araw and Camp Aguinaldo was extremely important, especially since Camp Aguinaldo was the main base of the Triple-A.

The second the man exited the room, the general plopped down on his chair and snapped. Static can be heard as the video camera in the room short-circuited, with the general removing his… Face.

"d.a.m.n, this disguise is really suffocating." Underneath the mask, a younger man's face was revealed. "Having s.e.x with that woman was good…"

With a snap, the door locked itself. Licking his lips, the man chortled and put his feet up on the table. "Ahh, it's so great to have superpowers and not rot in that cage that is the high-security prison…"

Fis.h.i.+ng a phone out of his pockets, the man dialed an Ident.i.ty Number. "I sent a messenger successfully, it's your turn."

"G.o.ddammit, I'm still having s.e.x here." On the other side, behind a barracks, a lanky person was drilling a woman in doggy style. "Why can't you at least delay a bit, man?"

"What?" The man on the general's office was annoyed. "My agreement with Black Devil didn't include delaying, all I had to do was to get the messenger's… information or something."

"Do you have the information?" The man pounded moaned a bit after that.

"No…"

"f.u.c.king get it and send it to me, you idiot." With that, the man cut the call.

"f.u.c.king…" His face twitching, the man touched the computer and hacked on the database of order logs and exits. Waiting for the success message of the dispatch of an agent, he then sent the details of the messenger to the person, who was in charge of delaying the deliverance of this message.

Back behind the barracks, the man zipped up and checked the message. "Okay, it's time to work."

"Will I see you again?" The woman he f.u.c.ked turned to him.

"Of course." Without turning his back, the man activated his Ability, the woman falling into a state of mindlessness and… Began to kiss and hug thin air.

"Ahh, I love my Ability." The man cackled. Suddenly, his face changed with wonder as he noticed that the man had a tracking device that all military had to carry. That wasn't the surprising thing however, it was that he can access this tracking device through his phone. "That guy's Ability is quite handy though…"

With that, the man stretched as he pumped essence energy in his body. Taking on a starting running position he disappeared, sprinting to the position of the tracking device.

On the road, many drivers were startled upon seeing a human-shaped 'blur' on their mirror, rubbing their eyes in bewilderment.

Catching up on a white sedan, the man acted fast, activating his Ability on the driver and making it so that he would be confused. As a result, the driver drove in circles, only arriving at the Liwayway Hotel at 6:45.

Parking the car in front, the man exited it groggily. Entering the Liwayway Hotel, the man stuttered, "I-I have a message for Anthony from WI-WISERA…"

The lady behind the counter was disconcerted at the unantic.i.p.ated visit of someone. "Are you okay, sir?"

"Where's Anthony!?" The man's eyes were red and crazed. "I-it's urgent. Please…"

That was when Zeke waltzed inside Liwayway Hotel, wanting to enter the secret facility., He noticed the man on the counter with wobbling legs. Approaching them, Zeke questioned, "What's happening here?"

"Mr. Maharlikang-Dugo," the woman respectfully greeted Zeke as if Zeke was some kind of scion. "This man is looking for Mr. CEO, declaring that he has an urgent message."

"What?" Zeke was alarmed. Waving his hand to signal that he'd take it from here, he supported the man to the lounge. "What is it? Mr. Anthony is in an important meeting as we speak."

"Please tell that Camp General Basilio Navarro is under attack…" The man closed his eyes, sounding nauseated. "My consciousness won't last long, so please, deliver this to him."

Taking out the picture, the man placed it on Zeke's hands. Subsequently, he leaned in on Zeke and whispered, "A wielder leveled the entirety of General Camp Basilio Navarro in Zamboanga and no one has responded from the Zamboanga Branch…"

Hearing this, Zeke's eyes widened, hurriedly looking at the picture. Activating his Peerless Brain, he ascertained that this was… Daniel! 's.h.i.+t… Hayden…'

Right at that moment, the man who relayed the message collapsed, falling down from his chair. Carrying the man on his shoulder, Zeke called Hayden and pressed a b.u.t.ton on the elevator to go up to Anthony's penthouse.

After speaking to Hayden, Zeke barged in Anthony's penthouse and the annual gathering which was going on for eight hours already. Hearing the commotion that Zeke made, and his hurried steps, the 16 people in the room looked at him. "Respected Branch Directors and Walong Sinag ng Araw, we have a problem."

…..

In the Zamboanga Branch of Puting Araw. Annie and the woman she saved was going around, with the woman leading in front. Annie asked, "Where are we going?"

"We're going to the Phantom Watch division. That's where all the communication devices are in." The woman calmly spoke. Whilst running, the woman inquired, "Why did you save me? You're part of Kamay ng Lagim, right?"

"I have my personal reasons." Annie replied automatically. "I have a secret that I'm not comfortable sharing with strangers."

"Oh, yeah, okay." The woman said in an understanding tone. The woman didn't talk further following that interaction.

"Why don't we just call people to respond or something?" Annie asked with confusion and a bit annoyed. She wasn't even supposed to be following this woman in front of her and was getting worried that she wouldn't be able to meet with her guardian.

"I was going to, howbeit, before the call could go through, the phone was s.n.a.t.c.hed out of my hands and destroyed by those guys you killed." The woman replied calmly. "Again, thank you for saving my life."

"No problem…" Annie was speechless of the woman's serenity. Annie noticed that ever since from the start, the woman she was with was calm and collected, even in front of the face of death. It was as if nothing perturbed her at all. 'What kind of an Ability does she have? Or perhaps she's really like that?'

At that second, the guardian that Annie talked to formerly appeared in front of them, blocking their path. The woman halted immediately and took up a fighting stance, her face remaining nonchalant.

"Wait, wait, wait," Annie stepped up instantly, stopping the rus.h.i.+ng man by outstretching her hands in front of her. "Stop, Caesar."

"What the h.e.l.l are you doing?" Caesar reprimanded Annie, clearly fuming. He communicated in Indonesian so that the woman they were with won't understand a word they were saying. "Do you not want to avenge your own parents? Your clan? Your kin?"

"I do, okay? I do!" Annie said, her face becoming enraged. "But I'm not the kind of person to leave people behind for my goal. I already left behind a person to save my own self, and you think I will still not do anything when I see that a person is in trouble!?"

Annie then started to weep, her mind filled with memories of their escape during the invasion of Kamay ng Lagim to Crimson Cloud's Vermillion City. The sound of agonies of people dying resounded in her ears, the sight of her own mother smiling at her as she died came back to her, the death of her father, and her only friend in the world being left behind to allow her escape…

At the sight of Annie sniffling, Caesar was distraught. That was when a woman's voice resounded in the two's ears, removing the emotions that they were both feeling. "Calm down, this is not a good time to cry."

Turning around, Annie saw the serene eyes of the woman she saved. Abruptly, a frenzied voice came on the other side of the hall, "Puting Araw b.i.t.c.hes, get ready to get killed!"

"Come with me." Switching directions, the woman ran. Annie and Caesar followed her.

"Hey, I don't want to alarm you." Caesar's voice was composed now, mystifyingly clear of the rage he had earlier. "But we really got to get out of here. The Limang Daliri is going to start making their moves, therefore, this place has no hope at all."

"We're going to get out of this place." The woman with them said in response.

"Are you sure?" Annie asked. "I mean, this is your base, don't you have a rule that you should put your organization in front of your interests?"

"No," the woman answered without needing to think. "I'm a Blue Agent, a person for reconnaissance, I have little to no combat prowess and we Blue Agents are obligated to save ourselves."

"Oh…" Annie thought that that made sense, hence, she followed the woman to the exit. On the way, they encountered rampaging soldiers, which Caesar easily disposed of by becoming invisible and stabbing them from behind.

With a Level 3 wielder in tow, a powerful one at that, the trio easily made it out of the building unscathed. Getting out, they were met by the sight of the streets. They caught people's attention due to their unusual attires.

Ignoring the murmurs of the pa.s.sersby, the Puting Araw member hailed a cab and was about to enter the pa.s.senger seat when…

"Please, take us with you." Annie pleaded the woman. "We want to join Puting Araw."

"Get in." The woman responded impa.s.sively, getting in the pa.s.senger seat without even looking at them.

"Where to?" The cab driver queried.

"The Afterimage Rail Transit, please."

…..

"Do you want me to help?" Eun-ha's expression was filled with worry. During the time they hung out, Hayden naturally informed Eun-ha of Daniel's disappearance. "I can probably get my co-members to help."

"I don't think you should do that, Gonjunim." Donning the entirety of his White Fox costume, Hayden appeared to be absolutely detached. "First, I don't want any accidental incurring of suspicion, second, you guys are from South Korea, and third, you can't possibly be seen by anybody, disguise or not, as Level 4 wielders are too rare."

"are you sure?" Eun-ha hugged Hayden from behind. "What if you encounter that Crimson Enchantress. You can't resist that power as she's a Level 3 wielder."

"Don't worry," Hayden rotated and kissed Eun-ha on the forehead. "That Crimson Enchantress' power is reliant on her enchanting voice, the allure of her own figure, and probably some sort of intoxicating fragrance. I have a countermeasure for that."

She's a Level 3 wielder though…' Eun-ha thought, the anxiousness in her face growing by the second.

"I'll be back, okay?" Hayden beamed at her. Slyly bobbing his eyebrows up and down, he said, "And when I get back, you and I will…"

"Jeez, pervert." Eun-ha giggled of the obvious s.e.xual joke. "Be careful, okay honey? Promise me you'll get back."

"I promise." Hayden gently caressed Eun-ha's hair. "I got to go."

On that note, Hayden bolted out of the room, leaving Eun-ha behind. In truth, Hayden's true reasons why he didn't let Eun-ha help him was that he simply didn't want to involve her in these troubles regardless of her power and insistence.

He was used to doing things all by himself, and he didn't want help from anyone for his own selfish reasons.

Due to years of being a lone wolf, Hayden forgot how to coordinate with people despite being in possession of Divine Perception. He was extremely close-minded when it came to the idea of cooperation, and was stuck to his ways as a lone wolf, forgetting that he was in a relations.h.i.+p.

Needless to say, Eun-ha wouldn't let Hayden go alone, opening her phone and utilizing the phone tracking permission that Hayden granted her. With the dawn of Ident.i.ty Numbers, there was the option to let people track you anywhere you go.

As couples, Hayden and Eun-ha let each other track their positions. Usually, Eun-ha wouldn't even use this function, but this time was an exception.

She understood Hayden enough to confidently say that Hayden was the type of person to do everything on his own as long as he thought he can. He wouldn't want to involve anybody in his activities as much as he can. In short, Hayden wasn't a mere lone wolf, he was an extreme loner.

"I'm sorry, honey, but I can't let anything happen to you…" Muttering that, Eun-ha pulled out her phone and contacted Jin-ae. "a.s.semble the girls, we have something to do."

…..

Hayden was flying over the clouds without any care at all. Well, actually, that's a lie, he did care. In order for the sonic boom he was generating to be weakened, he materialized an essence energy cover behind him, outspreading an area to deflect and absorb the sound energy from the sonic booms he's constantly generating.

Also, over time, Hayden's flight was faster. From his calculations, he was travelling at a speed of 2,400 kilometers per hour, or Mach 2. Hayden was actually rather surprised as he doesn't appear to be affected by the constraints of physics as much as regular people. In fact, he was flying at a velocity twice than the speed of sound with minimal eye protection and the wind wasn't hurting his eyes at all.

Hey, whatever works, works, right? What's so strange about not being restricted by the laws of physics in a universe where people with superpowers exist? Anyways, not like this wasn't entirely logical as it can be attributed to Hayden's Indestructible Devil physique.

Opening his phone, Hayden searched for the whereabouts of this Camp General Basilio Navarro. At the end of the day, his superpowers had limitations as well, and not like he studied the entire geography of Earth.

'But maybe I should…' Hayden thought, his body going autopilot on flying as his brain absorbed the geography of Zamboanga City. Putting his phone away, Hayden infused essence energy into the s.p.a.ce Ring and stored the boots and gloves he was wearing back into his s.p.a.ce Ring.

Afterwards, Hayden used his Breathing Technique to absorb ambient essence energy and used Essence Manipulation Arts to release thrust from his foot, hands, and tips of his wings, further boosting his speed to 3,200 kilometers per hour. All the while he was doing this, black mist was constantly dispelled from his mouth from the Breathing Technique.

"This guy is seriously fast." Not far from Hayden was a man engulfed in darkness, keeping him invisible. It was The Stalker, tailing Hayden. "And what the h.e.l.l are those being projected on his foot and arms? That isn't part of his powers, right?"

The Stalker was getting more and more baffled of the enigmatic existence that is Hayden Emperador. First, he finds out that Hayden is a dual wielder, second, he witnesses Hayden wooing a Level 4 wielder, and now, Hayden learns some sort of power to enhance his power level, something that even they, the Pangkat Anino, has no knowledge of.

Due to all this, The Stalker was similarly getting increasingly fascinated with Hayden's entire person. It was inexplicable for The Stalker as he was someone who didn't particularly take any interest on any people.

For the next few minutes, The Stalker trailed Hayden, with Hayden looking at him from time to time, making The Stalker's heart skip a beat every time. It was uncanny how powerful Hayden's instincts were.

'It's impossible that mere instincts can sense me…' The Stalker denied that Hayden can somehow sense him or something. He never doubted his power, and he wouldn't want to change his perception of his own power now. Nevertheless, he subconsciously changed to talking internally in fear of Hayden seeing him, compromising his months of effort.
