Contrary to the joyful atmosphere in the garden Anna's emotion was of pure sadness, grief, and anger. She was sad that both of her parents are now dead and angry to whoever killed his father. It was already few days since she got the sketch of the person who killed his father but until now she don't have the guts to open it

She was afraid she would totally break down and her entire being will be filled with hate when she saw the image of her father's murderer. She was clenching the rolled paper on her hands and wrinkles appeared on it

When Sun learned that Anna was in the garden alone he decided to join her there. This was the only time when Sun will have the chance to be alone with her as Annie was always by her side

When he entered the garden the atmosphere changed as if a demon grace its presence. Sun slowly walk to Anna who was absent mindedly looking at the flowers

"Are they beautiful?" Sun's voice made Anna to come back to her sense. "Hmm" Anna nodded her head in affirmation. Even though Sun treated her and her sister well but she was still uncomfortable around him

"As long as you are here no one will hurt you and your sister. I'll make sure that what happened to your father will not repeat itself on you or your sister" His words were full of gentleness amd a.s.surance directly opposite to how Sun usually was

However, even then that just made Anna to become even more uncomfortable as she already decided on something. Anna looked directly at Sun and the man can't help but feel mystified by her beauty and aura

"I want to go out in the city" Anna declared and suddenly the atmosphere in the garden become suffocating. It was as if a great demon's anger was on the brink explosion. Even Anna was affected by the atmosphere and she took a step backwards

The energy around was affected by Sun's mood and become agitated and chaotic. "Why?" It was just a single word from Sun but it was full of restraint anger. His deep voice sent s.h.i.+vered on Anna's body, her body shaking a bit from the fear that was bubbling out from her.

But she can't back down now and decided to steel herself. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves before speaking again. "I want to become strong and avenge my father" this was one of the reason but she also wants to get as far as possible to Sun

"I can do that" Sun was unconvinced at her words. If its revenge she wants isn't it easy to accomplish with Sun's help? With his status thousands of Supernaturals including Mystics will be mobilize to achieve what she wants. The investigation will be faster and efficient with those many people

"No, I want to do it on my own. I want my revenge to be done by my own hardwork" Anna said while shaking her head. He knew Sun won't believe her as even she know that this was a lie. Her father's life was important to her, if there was an easy way to avenge him then she won't hesitate to choose it. It's just that she was aware at how Sun was slowly becoming possessive of her

She can't stand it and wants to flee from this place. "Bulls.h.i.+t!" Sun's anger finally exploded and he appeared in front of Anna and held her on her chin. "I won't let you leave! You belong to me, don't even dare try to escape!" Sun's already pitch black eyes glowed with a bit of black light

Anna can feel her body losing strength at how the man's aura was suffocating her. She gritted in teeth and force herself to move. She slapped Sun's hand away from her and looked at him angrily. "What do you think of me a toy that you can own?!"

What Sun was feeling towards her was not love at all, it was pure possessiveness and the desire to own something. It was selfish and cruel unlike a gentle love

Sun chuckled coldly "That's where you are wrong. I'm gonna make sure that I own you completely!" Sun said before walking away and leaving Anna by herself in the garden

From this day onwards Anna's life turned into a h.e.l.l worst than even the apocalypse. She was always lock on a villa that Sun chose as her residence. She can't go anywhere as Sun feared that she will flee. After all she was powerful on her own. She was a peak Knight Supernatural. Even with Sun's status he can't possibly a.s.sign a Grand Knight as her bodyguard and watcher

Even in the G.o.d's Tech City being one of the strongest city man kind has the number of Grand Knight Supernaturals can be counted on one hand

Even if Anna wants to escape she can't, not just because of the guards watching her but also because  of her little sister Annie. Sun forbid the two from meeting each other. It was another a.s.surance that Anna will not escape because she will never leave her sister

Who would have thought that the decision of them to visit a city will cause Anna's doom? The only fortunate thing on her situation was at least Sun didn't force himself to Anna and **** her. But who knows if he will not do that in the future when his patience run out because of Anna's stubbornness to submit to him?

As more days pa.s.s the situation in the Gu Serpent Empire become grimmer and grimmer. More fallens surrounded their city, although the fallens won't necessarily attack but how can they let the city be surrounded?

They can't let the fallens fully encircle the city and cut off their connection to the outside world. As such the city constantly forced the Supernaturals to kill the surrounding fallens causing numerous casualties

"Your Majesty if we don't do something at the west gate we will never be able to access the gate again! Please do something about this" the butler's forehead were covered with cold sweats while announcing the news to the Emperor

The fallens almost fully occupy the western part of the city and if they don't do something about it only some time was needed before their city would be completely surrounded

"Gu Serpent Emperor have you changed your mind yet?" A man with brown muscular body spoke. If it was other people who spoke like that to the Emperor he will have the fate of death

However, this man was no n.o.body. He was a Grand Knight Cultivator! His body was comparable to a tank type fallen in the same rank. It was extremely hard to harm and damage his body

Also, this man was not a part of the Gu Serpent Empire and was not under the Emperor's poison. He came from another city that has an ulterior motive

"My answer is no!" Harold's face darkened at the man's words and he clenched his fast so hard that veins were popping on it. The cultivator was not affected by his refusal, for him it was only a matter of time when this so called Emperor will succ.u.mb to what he wants

"B-but your majesty the w-western gate...." the butler said fearfully, only this man can help them on their current predicament. If not with the strength of their city's forces they will met the fate of death from the hands of the fallens

"SHUT UP!" The Emperor roared, clearly he was losing himself in anger. This also made him to make a choice that he don't like. "I will personally exterminate those filthy fallens! Ready my Imperial Sword!"

Harold waved his robe and walk away in from the 'Imperial Court' to ready himself from a cruel battle. Even he himself was pessimistic at the outcome. Although he was a rank 3 Supernatural but the fallens' number were just too much. Also, he reached this rank not because of his talent but because of resources! He even already forgot when was the last time he partic.i.p.ated in a battle himself

Why would he even dirty his hands to kill the fallens when he can just order his army to do it for him? In these past months he even become a bit fat due to just enjoying himself in this apocalyptic time

When he finised his preparation the 'Imperial Attendants' removed his Imperial Robe and replaced it with another one. This robe was bought from the Angel's Shop. It worth tens of thousands Knight Rank Energy Pearls

It was expensive but for the Emperor if was worth it! The robe was made from a durable material and can even defend against a Grand Knight's attack! Yes, it has the great defensive power. Another attendant handed an elegant looking sword. This sword was even more expensive than the robes

It was made from an unknown metal that with a bit of energy can easily make a deep cut on a normal rank 3 fallen! It was no wonder that his army was too inferior. He ordered them to fill energy pearls and used it for himself, this greatly impacted the army's cultivation speed

The prices in the Angel's Shop were astronomically high that it only gave a small boost in humanity's power. The items that can be considered cheap there were the Mind Crystals containing basic cultivation knowledge. This was because Raphaela don't want to make the humans to reliant on wealth and powerful items

She want the humans to gain a strength of their own, she can't babysit them and lower the prices of the goods. That will just hinder their growth

Harold walked out from the Imperial Palace and went towards the west gate. Behind him was an army of a thousand Supernaturals. It was only a thousand but all of them was at the peak of Knight Rank. Harold was still a coward and even if he was more powerful than them he ordered all the strongest Supernaturals to be part of the group that will retake the west gate

This caused a negative impact on the other gates who were already barely defending themselves. The Grand Knight Cultivator followed them to watch the 'show' and stand on top of the walls

Harold and his army charged towards the fallens through the gates. Even if his battle skills turned rusty and his cultivation was credited to resources but Harold was still a mid stage Grand Knight!

He charged straight to the fallens while his body was moving like an agile snake. His sword pierced on the fallens that were on his way. This reckless action of his caused him to be surrounded by fallens but this is the outcome he want

"[Innate Skill: Serpent's Poison Breath!]" On his mouth a breath of purple colored poison came out. The breath was so continuous to the point that it was not just a breath but a fog! Purple colored fogs appeared in the middle of the war field

Harold aimed his mouth in all direction while poisoned breaths were coming from his mouth. All the fallens that come into contact with the poison immediately die as the poison killed them from the inside

Fortunately, Harold activated this skill far from his army. If not then they too will die like the fallens. Harold was still not skillful enough to let his poison to kill only the enemies

The ten meter area around Harold was filled with poisonous purple fogs and all the fallens on the area died. The wind carried the fog away and more fallens were surrounded by the poison. They too fell down on the ground as dead as they can be
