Chapter 97 - Unforeseen Changes
Rumble! Rumble!
The tables, the chairs, the plates, the cutleries, everything continued to shake more audibly as the pressure grew more vigorous and quickly drew the attention of everyone at the venue.
Klein Seymour glanced over from the main seating area as everyone else followed suit.
When he saw Albion's collar getting gripped by a tall behemoth of rough six foot five, he immediately frowned and stood up.
However, William Seymour, his younger brother, raised a hand and stopped him, "Wait, brother. Young Master Albion should be able to handle this."
As William Seymour said this, he was conflicted inside his heart.
On the one hand, he wanted his father's birthday to proceed smoothly, while on the other hand, he wanted to see how the conflict between Young Master Albion and the Ravenclaw Gang plays out.
At the same time, Anya and Eleanor glanced over with wonder before Anya muttered, "What kind of power is this?"
"Psychic power. Strong psychic power, nonetheless." Klein Seymour observed carefully with surprise.
The entire venue exploded with whispers as Albion unwittingly stole the limelight of the night with his display of psychic ability.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hua and the six men at the table all felt a suffocating feeling. The man called Shin felt the greatest pressure weighing down on him; his breathing was difficult, and his knees threatened to buckle.
"Just who are you? Someone with strong psychic abilities like yours cannot possibly remain unknown. Why are you seated out here instead of inside the main area?" Shin resisted the pressure with gritted teeth.
Suddenly, the suppressive force surged.
Bam!
Shin was immediately slammed on his knees by force before he forcefully looked up at the young man in front of him.
"You asked me to look at you when you are talking. But this is the height at which you should be looking at me when we talk," Albion said coolly as he glanced down on the man indifferently.
At the same time, Shin's face flushed red with bulging veins as he tried to resist the suppressive force and stand up, but to no avail.
It was extremely humiliating for a man to kneel before another man.
Seeing the person resisting strongly, Albion frowned and stepped on the person's head, forcing him onto the ground.
"You wanted food, so I gave you food. And yet, you threw it away. These are some good food. Also, you are hurting the chef's feelings by wasting it, so you better eat up!" Albion spat.
Brody immediately shot up from his seat before he barked, "Young man, stop while you can! The Ravenclaw Gang is not easy to humiliate! Do not go too far or else—!"
"Or else what?" Albion shot a sharp look at Brody.
Rumble!
The entire Royal Pearly Club suddenly shook violently after Albion finished speaking, causing everyone to become shocked.
"Or else…you can humiliate him as you want, Young Master. Please step on him as much as it pleases you!" Brody spoke with a humbled smiled.
"…"
Albion was a bit silent, but he did not respond.
The shaking building was not caused by him just now, but something big that seemed to be happening outside.
Of course, he did not need to explain this.
…
Ganymede Ocean.
While Albion wondered what was happening outside, the Ptolemy-class carrier was surrounded by stormy weather and large rocky waves.
In the control room onboard the Ptolemy-class carrier, people were urgently shouting into communication devices and rushing about.
"Commander, we've just picked up a big energy surge! It's emitting similar wavelengths to the Dimensional Rifts!" a person reported.
"Where is it coming from? Below?" Commander Campbell queried solemnly.
The person quickly shook his head and answered, "No, sir! It's come from above!"
"What? Impossible. There was no Dimensional Rift in this region of airspace…" Commander Campbell suddenly paused before his eyes widened, "Unless a Dimensional Rift is opening!"
"Is that even possible, sir?" The person asked with doubt.
"It is! There are already 3 confirmed cases! This could possibly be the fourth—" Commander Campbell was quickly interrupted.
"Large movements of a big creature has been detected below, sir! It's quickly closing in fas—" The person reporting suddenly realized it was too late and exclaimed, "Oh no!"
Boom!
The enormous figure of an ancient sea serpent burst out of the surface of the ocean!
The Ptolemy-class carrier was immediately swept away by a large wave as the thousand-foot enormous ancient sea serpent ignored the carrier and flew into the sky!
"What is that thing?! It's so big!"
"Oh my god, that serpent is flying!"
…
At the same, the world was also experiencing terrible weather and dimension rift openings in multiple locations worldwide within the past hour.
People at the location risked their lives to report the news to the media.
The rifts in the skies appeared like black holes before the countless flying-type interdimensional creatures spawned from within.
"Tracey here, reporting to you live from the coastal city of Rainsworth, Armentia Continent. Just several minutes ago, multiple spatial dimension points around the world destabilized, according to hearsay from the Federation's side." The news reporter spoke with some inside information.
"We were warned that a day might come when the real Apocalypse will dawn upon us. Could this be before mentioned Second Wave?"
No one really knew what was going to happen to them from now on. They only knew that with the opening of Dimensional Rifts, regional laws will be amended, and a new age of Hunters was upon them.
…
Back inside the Royal Pearl Club, bored children who came with their parents to the party were the first to discover the news that quickly hit the global trending.
Soon, everyone in the building realized something was going on outside.
"Why are the Dimension Rifts spawning again?"
"Could it be that the next wave has already arrived?"
Many questions filled everyone's mind as they shuffled outside with curiosity to check the weather with their own eyes.
Whether by good luck or bad luck, Albion's spotlight quickly ended as it arrived.
His interest in the outside situation was also piqued. At the same time, he quickly lost interest in the Ravenclaw Gang and kicked the man groveling at his feet away.
"Before I change my mind, scram!"
"Thank you, young master!" Brody spoke in Shin's stead as the Ravenclaw Gang pulled the man away from Albion.
Shin wanted to risk his life to kill Albion after his suppression was lifted, but with six men holding him back, he stood no chance at overpowering them, let alone Albion.
"Cool your head, Shin!" Brody rebuked him.
Shortly after, Xiao Hua quickly drew closer to Albion before she whispered with wonder, "Hey, big brother. You were quite attractive when you were so serious just now."
"I wasn't serious. I was holding back," Albion casually said before he added with a hum, "Hm, I am always holding back,"
Xiao Hua glanced at Albion with doubt and asked, "That wasn't considered serious? What would serious be like then?"
"Oh, trust me. You don't want to see me serious." Albion glanced at the little loli and said with seriousness, "When I am serious, I even scare myself!"
"Pft, shameless!" Xiao Hua laughed. She did not take Albion's words to heart.
Albion could only shrug his shoulders before saying, "Let's go take a look outside with everyone else. Seems like something big is happening."
"Okay!"
