Chapter 132 Assemble Hidden Dragon Guards
The next day, Seanlu, who had just finished soaking in a bath tub with medicine, went to the living room of the villa.
"Boss, my vision has improved a lot. The previous plan will no longer work," said Seanlu.
"Are there some guilds that still monitor and want to recruit you?" asked Edgar.
"Yes, boss. They thought PHA is the force that secretly protects me, but I did not formally join yet, so they think they can still recruit me," said Seanlu.
"I allowed you to take the potion because I already modified the plan. Let's carry it out tomorrow," said Edgar.
Seanlu went to a hospital the next day. He is followed by someone hired by a guild. Edgar put the opthalmologist to sleep in the parking lot. Before the car of the opthalmologist arrives, he hacks the CCTV to move, and the reserved parking lot for the car can no longer be seen by the camera.
He disguised himself as an opthalmologist and went to a clinic room in the hospital. Seanlu was the first patient. He gave him a document containing a fake assessment of his vision. Edgar had studied the basics of opthalmology when he modified the plan. He went back to the parking lot and waited for Seanlu and the person hired by the guild to leave before waking up the opthalmologist. The opthalmologist he selected is antisocial. The staff won't talk with him, even if they find something weird about him today.
Seanlu went to the bathroom, put the document on the tiles beside the washbasin, and then went inside the cubicle. The person hired by the guild took a photo of the document, and then he immediately left.
Not long after he went out of the bathroom, his phone rang.
"It's me. Damn! It will require a high-level healer to heal that. We need to pay a high price to invite one. Invite him for a sparring. We'll see if he is worth the price or if he just won the fight because of a fluke," said someone on the other side of the phone.
Seanlu agreed to the request of a guild for sparring. He deliberately acted clumsy. The guild thinks that Seanlu won because he was underestimated too much and is nothing special once his enemy is prepared. They think that the students who witnessed the fight exaggerated what they saw. Tyron and the level two aura master insist that they were just careless. The guild's final assessment is that he is ordinary with severe illness in his eyes, not worthy of their attention. Their assessment result spread to other guilds, so they stopped wasting their time on him.
"Hahahaha, boss, your plan works. Those annoying stalkers are gone," said Seanlu.
Edgar nodded, then said,"I will give you an eyeglass with a normal lens."
"B-boss, can you use the frame of my eyeglasses and change the lens? It has sentimental value," said Seanlu with an embarrassed look.
Edgar chuckled when he heard his request. The eyeglasses were probably gifted by the class rep.
A few days later, in the early morning, a female teenager with yellow hair looks fidgety as she approaches a spot within a park in Manila. She is wearing shorts and rubber shoes.
She climbs an uneven slope of a mound. She is careful, so she won't slip.
"Phew." She wipes away the sweat that do not exist when she reached the top. The mound is not that high. She smiles, then walks forward and swings the big plants that block the way.
She froze when she saw what is in front of her. Several men with sharp eyes are looking at her.
"A-Am I fooled? W-Will I be kidnapped? I shouldn't have believed that Mister Ghost, b-but the power he showed is real. It's difficult not to believe him. I-I want to go home," thought the female teenager.
A man chuckled when he saw the female teenager. His age seems to be in senior high. He has long orange hair, brown skin, and a muscular body. His name is Busca.
Busca faces the girl and says,"Since you are here, don't think of going home yet."
"Ecck!" The girl feels terrified. Her worst thought really happened. Her eyes became watery.
"Hahahaha, Busca, your look and the way you said it will make her misunderstand. She might think you are a kidnapper," said a man with a crew cut, z-line hairstlyle while holding a cigarette. He is Mike, the gangster saved by Edgar.
"What did you say?!"?Busca asked angrily.
Mike looks at the girl and says, "Girl, don't misunderstand, we are all given an invitation by Mr. Ghost."
"Really?" The girl is surprised and happy.
Someone's voice catches everyone's attention.
"You are all here."
Edgar came out from behind a tree. His whole body is cloak in the color of wood. He walks toward the mound as the cloak disappears. He is wearing a white coat. His hair is black, but his face is different.
He jumped to the mound.
He rides a wind in midair, then moves to the front of the mound.
All the people in the mound are Legatees that he selected. He met them in his current disguise.
Edgar looks at everyone.
Mike, the gangster, will carry on the legacy of Marco.
Oswal, the revenger, is Aktor's legatee.
Busca, a delinquent teenager with a soft spot for puppies and children, is Bartos' legatee.
Eric, the spear fanatic, will carry the legacy of Rey.
Emily,a clumsy girl, is a natural archer who will inherit Lily's art of archery.
Gan and Gin are already at headquarters. He needed to measure the resolve of everyone who came here before bringing them to the headquarters.
"Before joining the team, I want you to know its mission first. If you don't have the resolve to carry it, it is better that you quit now," said Edgar.
Everyone has a serious look on their face.
"We are not the only beings in the universe. Outside of Earth, there are beings that are invading and destroying worlds. You heard the news of a sudden world's burst in Quezon City. The truth is, the beings that came out aren't mindless beings but orcs and ogres that can think like us. Our world has caught the eye of the powerful force behind the invasion of various worlds in the universe," said Edgar.
Everyone's face is very shocked. Their faces turned pale, and sweat flow from their foreheads.
"I want to form a force that can fight those invaders. You right now cannot even fight the weakest cannon fodders of the invaders, but I can give you that power. Will you watch on the sidelines as invaders cause destruction, or will you fight back? Step forward if you have the resolve to fight," said Edgar, then looks at the expressions of everyone.
Mike has no family, but he has friends that he treats as brothers. He grips his fist hard. He does not want to have those powerless feelings again as he watches his brothers get injured and about to be killed. He took the cigarette from his mouth that was about to finish. He gripped the cigarette, then fire enveloped his fist, and the cigarette turned into ash. His eyes became more determined, and he is the first to step forward.
Busca lost his family. He grew up on the street. The first few years of the appearance of a broken world were chaotic. There was not enough time, manpower, and resources to manage those affected by the rampage of the magic beasts. Some children are forced to live on their own in the street. Busca was one of them.
When the government fully adjusted to the effects of the broken world and hyperbeings, they finally had enough time to manage all the street children, but Busca did not go to the orphanage. He is used to living on his own. He has good neighbors. There are children who treat him as their older brother. He even recently adopted a street puppy. The faces of innocent children and the puppy appear in his mind.
"I want to see them grow up," thought Busca. He grins, then takes a step forward.
Eric grips his spear harder. He comes from a scholarly family. He is shunned in his family because he is not good at his studies and is always distracted by his spear training. His father is cold toward him, and his mother seldom talks to him, but he knows they are concerned about him.
There is always medicine on the table whenever Eric injures his palm from his practice. His father buys it, but he does not directly give it to him. His mother wants to talk to him, but his father always stares at her, making her shut up. They are deliberately acting cold so he can give up his spear. Thankfully, he has a cousin who always supports him.
"I will make my parents realize that a pen is not what we need but power. I will get that power, and I must protect my cousin from that damn simp four eyes!" thought Eric, then he stepped forward.
Edgar imperceptibly smiles when he sees Eric stepping forward and thinks
"Things will become interesting in the headquarters later."
