Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon



'Well that was surprising.'

Anon wore a slightly startled expression as he saw the leader of the group revealing herself as the mother of the female captain.

His left eye changed and rapidly changing numbers, symbols and letters flickered across his left eye, unnoticed by others. A few seconds later, his eye changed back to normal and Anon had his brows furrowed slightly.

'She's tier 3?... But that wasn't what I saw on the E-Underworld'

Noticing the slight furrow of his brows, the mother of the female captain tilted her head slightly, her eyes having a slightly curious and intrigued light.

"Why the frown handsome?"

Anon came out of his thoughts as he heard her voice which carried a hint of sensuality. He looked at her and with a soft exhale, he spoke:

"So, I assume you're the Terror Queen?"

Anon questioned, concealing the true reason behind his frown.

Meanwhile the Terror Queen upon hearing the words of the enigmatic and… somewhat foolish tier 1 before her, wore a small smile on her lips. She extended her arms and with a calm tone which contained a hint of pride in it, she replied:

"In the flesh handsome."

"By the way, I'm curious… what gave you so much confidence to come here, thinking you'd make it out alive?"

Anon placed his hand on his chin as he contemplated on his reply to that question. He glanced at the female captain who was struggling to breathe, her expression terribly pale, and her eyes gradually losing the light in them.

Seeing all of these symptoms on the daughter of the Terror Queen, a small smile formed on his lips, and with that same smile, he turned towards the Terror Queen.

"Well, I had planned on killing her initially, but since she's your daughter and… you're stronger than I expected…"

Anon took a deliberate pause, noting the minute change in the expression of the Terror Queen, the minute change confirming his suspicion that the Terror Queen did not want her true power level to be exposed.

"Anyway… since she's your daughter, how about we have a private conversation, just… the three of us…"

Anon gestured towards the female captain as he spoke, but he saw a small disconcerting smile form on the lips of the Terror Queen… the smile gave him a slightly unsettling feeling.

"After we have our private discussion and I'm assured of my safety. I'll provide your daughter the antidote to the poison I injected in her."

As soon as Anon finished speaking, a chuckle reached his ears, followed by a voice dripping with mockery:

"Are you trying to use me as leverage against that woman… Do you think she cares about me at all, you think she loves me?"

Anon turned towards the female captain who was sitting on the floor with her back resting against her car. Although she felt extremely weak, even showing in her voice, she mustered the strength to speak about her mother.

Anon's brows were furrowed upon hearing the words of the daughter of the Terror Queen and he looked back at the Terror Queen who just gave him a nonchalant shrug as a response to his gaze.

"Why do you think I gave out the location of our base so easily? It's because I don't care and I would definitely not want to suffer more than I've already suffered cause of this group."

With her tone containing a little bit of anger and frustration, the female captain spoke and Anon's brows furrowed the more.

"I don't believe that your mother doesn't actually love you…"

Anon paused as he gestured towards the group of fifty which had surrounded him in a circle.

"If your mother didn't actually love you, this many people would definitely not come out to attack me, and neither do I believe that your mother would have personally appeared to save you."

Hearing the words of the man who was the cause of her current situation, the female captain had furrowed brows, a contemplative and slightly confused light appeared in her eyes as she looked around her then at her mother.

"Before you start having weird thoughts, I came out for a whole different reason… I didn't come out because of you."

'Well that must hurt.'

Anon thought to himself, his lips twitching as he heard the words of the Terror Queen.

'Well, I guess the rumors about her being heartless were true."

Anon thought, and just as he had this thought, the Terror Queen spoke once again, interrupting his thoughts.

"By the way, why weren't you able to kill him, he's just a tier 1 human. Also… why are you the one that's poisoned when the rat man in your group makes his rats explode using a colorless poisonous bomb… Don't you also deal with poison?"

Hearing the part about the female captain dealing with poison, Anon subconsciously touched his nose and his neck.

"He's stronger than most tier 1s… and he either has poison immunity or…"

Cough!

A violent fit of coughing containing copious amounts of blood was emitted by the female captain. Her head wobbled, and a few seconds later… her body slid off the car and she fell unto the ground, producing a soft thud as a result.

Anon frowned as he looked at the fallen daughter of the Terror Queen. He turned towards the Terror Queen and he saw her looking at him with a small smile on her lips while tapping her arms which were folded.

Despite the smile and nonchalance the Terror Queen was exuding, Anon could sense a flicker of killing intent directed towards him… Not only from the Terror Queen, also from the group of 50 which were surrounding him.

Their collective killing intent increased exponentially and Anon knew that they were just waiting for the command from their leader to rain all sorts of attacks at him… a prospect he knew would end poorly for him.

"So… is my daughter dead?"

With nonchalance and calmness in her tone, the Terror Queen asked as the tapping of her finger on her arm increased as the seconds went by.

"She's not dead… She's asleep."

Anon shook his head as he spoke, and the Terror Queen had raised brows.

Without waiting for the response of the Terror Queen, Anon walked towards the female captain, and the Terror Queen watched him with rapt attention… Her eyes hiding a bone chilling, hell freezing coldness that was ready to erupt at any second.

Anon, sensitive to killing intent, could sense the rising killing intent directed towards him from the group of fifty and the Terror Queen herself.

But despite all that killing intent, he had a calm expression on his face as he walked towards the fallen daughter of the Terror Queen.

As he reached her body, he knelt and with an indifferent expression, he touched her forehead which was heavily drenched in sweat, her breathing extremely faint and her expression contorted in pain.

Seeing her current condition, he frowned slightly, then he brought out a syringe and without hesitation, he plunged it into her neck. A few seconds later, her breathing became better, the rate of the sweat produced by her body reduced, and her expression eased.

'Well there goes two of my tier 1 poisons… I hope I don't have to use more.'

"What did you do to her?"

Anon turned towards the Terror Queen who had a confused and curious light in her eyes, her killing intent diminishing slightly.

"I eased her sleep."

"What?"

A baffled expression appeared on the face of the Terror Queen as he heard the words of the man who was using her daughter as leverage.

"She was going to die in a minute so I used another poison of mine to prolong her life… But that does not mean she's safe…"

"If I don't give her the actual antidote, she's going to die eventually… and if you say you'll hire a doctor to make the antidote, let's just say, it's going to cost a lot of money… and most likely your daughter's life at the end of the day."

"And you and I both know that healers in the Underworld have already been recruited by the top five groups and finding a new healer is absurdly difficult…"

"So for your daughter's sake… and possibly yours, why don't we just have a private conversation…. I'm just a businessman here for business."
