Chapter 304 - Averting A Disaster!
The Old Man watches as both father and son from the Apex Family dissappeared from view.
His eyes flashed and his body shook slight. His figure suddenly dissipated along with a bang that almost warped space, distorting the entire air within a hundred meter radius.
The man suddenly appeared at the place where the Sky Cruiser had crashed landed by his push.
His expression solemn as he board the Sky Cruiser, entering directly into the control center.
Inside the control center of the Sky Cruiser, seven people stood respectfully as soon as they caught sight of the old man.
Five of them were those who had protected the ship from the shockwave while the other two people in the Sky Cruiser were the two pilots, piloting the ship.
"Paul, Dame, and Simon." The old man called out in softly.
"Yes sir." The three people answered respectfully.
"You three are going to follow me back to the institute and while the rest of you stay here and protect the Ship."
The seven of them wore confused looks on their faces as they glanced at each othwr but didn't dare to argue since the captain didnt even dare to say a word in argument.
They nodded their heads in response.
Paul was the captain of the team in protection of the students and the sky Cruiser.
He hesitated before he steeled his mind as he asked. "Mr Cain, is there some sort of trouble coming up?"
The old man's eyes flashed as he recalled something. He then smiled warmly, waving his hands indifferently as he responded.
"It's just a little problem. You don't need to concern yourself with. Just make sure you get the students to their destination."
As thw others were about to disperse, the old man suddenly raised his hands up, "Wait."
"Is there any further instructions for us Mr Cain?" The captain asked.
"Nothing much. The kid called David Syntex, call him over here for me. I need to discuss something with him." The old man said softly to the captain.
The captain nodded and then instructed one of his team who left after kidding his head.
A few minutes later. A young man that looked a bit like your normal average guy but with eyes overflowing with spirit and energy came in together with the man that had had just left.
Currently, the young student looked very innocent as though he couldn't hurt a single fly but the old man sitted on a slanted seat knew better.
And even he would have been fooled if the previousatter hadn't happened.
"Leave us." The old man waved his hands at the captain and the others.
Reluctantly, the others left quietly after some hesitation.
David's heart was a out to burst out of his chest but strangely, his body made the beat as soundless as possible. It could be because of his constitution.
David stood quietly with his head lowered. He could sense a very threatening wave of power deeply compressed withon the old man.
And with the fight that he had witnessed a few minutes ago, he knew his feelings wasn't wrong at all. The man was incredibly strong that his fight with the middle aged man had shattered the entire battle ground.
The old man stared intently at David and asome kind of pressure began to form.
Tje gravity weighing down on David suddenly began to increase.
Two times gravity...
Three times gravity...
Ten times gravity...
At first, David didn't even notice the gravity was increasing. It was only when ye gravity hit three times did his body informed him and he was finally aware of the increasing gravity. He blinked his eyes innocently, wondering what the old man was trying to do.
That's just how strong his body currently is. As the pressure increased to ten times gravity, David began to feel some sort of discomfort but then, he just felt as though something heavy was at his back. He continued to blink his eyes at the old man with a blank expression.
He old man was incredibly startled as he stared at David, obviously taken aback.
The pressure emanating from his suddenly increases and the air itself bagan to distort. He had increased the gravity to 20 times.
"Bang!"
The metal floor beneath David's feet exploded and David groaned slightly as he felt a slight tug in his intestine. Although the gravity wasn't deeply affecting his body, his intestine was being affected by the pressure.
But strangely, the tugging feeling began to show signs of fading. And with time, it was obvious his body would get used to it and he would feel noal again.
It was then a loud burst of laughter erupted out from the old man as he said, "Good! Good! White really took in another great disciple this time."
"What powerful willpower. You are worthy of the trouble I'm experiencing." The old man stood up with a smile and patted David's shoulder.
Te pressure he was emanating faded away like smoke. And the gravity returned to normal immediately.
David breathed out a sigh of relief he didn't realise he was holding. The old ma hadn't been hostile after all.
The old man expression turned soft. "Don't just go around causing trouble kid. Your master... Sigh. Just don't cause any more trouble outside the institute alright?" The old man had a bitter expression as he said this.
David immediately nodded his head like a chicken as he replied "Yes sir. I actually don't like causing trouble. This time, it was only a mistake."
The old man stared at David for a while and he immediately let loose a slight snort. For a newly advanced Phaser to be enemies with a Phantom Beast master in a matter of a few seconds. And still claim he doesn't like causing trouble. What sort of argument was that?
"Just don't cause any more trouble alright. You can leave now." The old man quickly waved his hands, in a hurry to make David leave.
David's eyes flashed with a crafty look as he galmced at the old man.
"Sir, you know my master?" David put on an expression of surprise.
The old man gazed at David weirdly as he nodded his head. "I was his master for a little while. Your master's growth was so fast I was only able to teach him for a few years."
"Oh, then that means you are my master's teacher which also means you are also my Grand teacher." David smiled widely as he bowed his head softly.
"Haha. There is no need for that." Although the old man said that to David, his huge smile siad otherwise.
Seeing this, David was inwardly overjoyed but his outward expression turned bitter as he said. "Although my he accepted me as his Personal Disciple, my master refused to gift me any protection gadget or even an attacking gadget." David said with a pout.
The old man's smiling expression froze and he his eyes twitched as he stared at David as he spoke two words. "Get out!"
David blinked his eyes rapidly in an innocent gesture.
"Out!" A massive gust of wind instantly flung David out from the control room to the door where the captain and the crew stared at David in surprise.
"Tcch! Stingy old man." David muttered under his breath as he stood up from the ground, fake Dusting his body under the weird stares of the various people. He greeted them and immediately fled the place.
Who knew what the old man would do if he got any angrier
The old man slumped in his chair as he stared at the roof of the shop.
How come he didn't see this coming. If the master was abnormal, then the student would surely be even more abnormal.
After a few minutes, the old man stood up from the chair. The Others had enters the control room as soon as David left.
"We don't have much time, let's start going." The old man expression was even more solemn as he knew what would come might be very dangerous or might just beight just be a slight breeze.
After a few minutes of adressing them, the old man left with the people he had choosen.
David breathed out softly when he left the control room and settled down in his seat.
His time, he had averted a disaster becasue of the old man and he was incredibly grateful for that. But what if there wasn't any one strong enough to repel the middle aged phantom master, would he just die like that without a chance to struggle.
He saw the shear power yeiddle agged man had released with his phantom Beast. Even if David was twice as strong as he currently was, there was no way he would be able to resist more than two blows before he was killed in both body and soul.
David's heart clenched at this thought.. He thought he was a bit strong but it turns out he needed to get even more stronger in order to fight for resources ans aslo keep him self safe.
