SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 124 Threats

Edgar is within the underground training hall of the headquarters of the Hidden Dragon Guards.

There is a silver tower carved with magic runes. Below the tower is an elevated circle, which is also carved with runes.

The tower is a space point for teleportation.

On the front wall of the hall, there is a huge rectangular gap. It looks like a huge door. Its edge is made of silver, carved with magic runes.

Within the gap, there are magic runes and circuit-like lines carved on the walls and floor. At the center is a magic circle with four purple crystals embedded.

Edgar is within the gap while raising his arms. A huge purple crystal is floating in the air.

Edgar controls the purple crystal and lets it fall to the center of the magic circle.

"With this, the pocket dimension is nearly complete," said Edgar.

"Warning! Hostile forces detected," said Polaris in the earpiece worn by Edgar.

Polaris still lacks many functions. Edgar plans to recruit a true expert in computers, someone who can also give assistance to members while on a mission, because he can't do that all the time.

He took out a tablet from his storage space and opened the analysis report of Polaris.

There are pictures of suspicious men who have been monitoring the parents of Seanlu.

"Hmm, is the Saber's Guild manager making a move?" thought Edgar.

LIFE DETECTION

The invincible shockwave spread and covered Manila.

He detected a suspicious black van hidden between trees. It is a remote place in the suburb near the factory where Seanlu's father works. It is a shortcut that he often uses to return home with his electric scooter. There is also the suspicious man who has been monitoring Seanlu's parents. The man is now monitoring the road.

Edgar went up and walked to the garage. His motorcycle rises from a magic circle. The garage door opened, and then he went out of the villa.

He drives to a recently closed, remote tunnel because of repairs.

The motorbike drives on a downward cement road.

There is a barricade on the road.

VROOM! The motorbike accelerated.

At the front of the barricade, earth gathers and rapidly forms an upward slope.

VROOM! The motorbike runs on the slope and flies to the air.

The slope crumbled and turned into dust.

Bang! The motorbike landed on the cement road and continue to drive to the dark tunnel.

The lights and CCTV within the tunnel are shut down because of the repair.

A huge magic circle appears in front.

Edgar and the motorbike pass through the circle. The motorbike is disappearing while Edgar's outfit is changing. His hair turned long and red.

Edgar flew out of the tunnel with camouflage that cloaked his whole body.

Within the suspicious black van, one man is sitting in the driver's seat while the other is sitting at the back.

"Boss, why can't we just attack the kid?" asked the driver.

The boss named Mon is?lighting a cigarette when he heard the driver's question. He let out a smoke and opened the door of the van.

"That kid catches the attention of PHA. He even applied for his registration as a hyperbeing. PHA has become much stronger now because many guilds have become affiliated with them. We cannot be as blatant as before. We need to make maneuvers.

Saber's will not protect us if we fuck up. We will surely die if we leave direct evidence because PHA needs to kill us to warn the others. It needs to show it's fang. They won't play the rules of the game if it exceeded their tolerance. PHA's tolerance has become lower because their strength has increased. Guilds have become more careful now. We can't become the chicken to warn the monkeys.

We need the kid to come to us. The manager said that the kid has potential. We will force him to sign a contract with Saber. His father will be a hostage. Saber has already experienced this kind of situation. In the end, all those that were forced into a contract became obedient when they experienced women and luxuries that they never had before," said Mon.

"What if he refuses, boss?" asked the driver.

Mon let out a smoke from his mouth.

"That will be too bad. All those who refused have evaporated from the surface of the earth."

Flop! A foot landed on the ground in front of the van's door, and then a white shield instantly covered the van and the area around it.

Bang! "Acck!" The right cheek of Mon is punched by the left fist of Edgar. Mon's teeth and cigarette flew out of his mouth.

Bang! Mon's head hit the car's window. The window broke into several pieces.

The driver who looks flustered took out his gun and fired at Edgar.

"DIE!" shouted the driver as he frantically fired at Edgar.

Clang! Clang! The bullets are bouncing as they hit Edgar's aura that clads his body.

Edgar caught a bullet.

"Hmm, this will be useful later," thought Edgar.

A huge magic circle formed below the van.

GROUND SPIKE

BOOM! The car is torn to shreds as several ground spikes suddenly rise from the ground. The bodies of Mon and the driver are punctured and hanging on the ground spikes.

"This should be enough warning for that manager," Edgar thought, then he flew to another location.

He landed on a branch of a tree. He camouflaged himself with the color of wood. Twenty meters away from him, a man is resting his back on a tree trunk as he smokes and observes the road. There are few people walking on the road, and several cars are passing by.

Edgar took a bullet. The bullet floats on his right palm with a purple magic circle. Threads of lightning elements gather at the tail of the bullet.

Edgar aims at the suspicious man.

Bang! The bullet with crackling lightning rapidly flew.

Crunch! The bullet hit the head of the suspicious man. The bullet came out from the other side of the head.

The body of the man fell to the ground.

"Kyaaa!" screams a woman walking her dog.

Edgar flew from the scene.

In the afternoon, Seanlu arrived at the training hall. He teleported within the circle of the space point.

"Boss, I'm already registered as a hyperbeing. They asked me what force is behind my back. I already said that no one is behind me, just like you said. Several guilds approached me, but they did not coerce me. They seem to know that I have someone backing me, and they won't coerce me unless they have clear information on my backing. Boss, your prediction is right," said Seanlu with a thumbs up. His boss is not just strong, but smart.

Edgar smiled when he heard Seanlu.

Before classes resumed, Edgar already erased the traces of Seanlu moving to his villa and anything that would lead to himself. Some interested people will now monitor Seanlu. He told him to buy a house, and then he built an underground hall for the space point. Now, Seanlu can move to the headquarters and return to his home without getting tracked.

He also has a purpose for letting him register.

"Do they still compel the hyperbeings not to spread aura and magic cultivation?"
