Multi-Gene

The evening sun was getting weaker and David felt the weakness in his body slowly leaving him, but his thirst for blood intensifies during this moment. David always found it weird and had a feeling he might actually be the incarnation of a Rank 3 Blood-sucking Bat monster he had read in one of the monster books by the library.

Which was the only thing he could use to explain his need for human blood.

Examining the inverted bridge and the high rising buildings that seem to reach the clouds, David felt like an ant amongst giants.

Sighing, he looked around and then noticed his road was being blocked by three people. David laughed coldly within his mind. ‘You are finally willing to reveal yourselves after stalking me for three weeks.’

David raised an eyebrow as though asking ‘Is there a reason you’re blocking my way?’

The three people formed some sort of triangle, two men behind the woman who appears to be their leader.

The lady indifferently glanced at David, not bothering to answer David. Instead, she glanced at him from his head to his toe. Her eyes forming two mechanical circles, releasing a massive invincible undulation that penetrated David’s body as though wanting to see through his secret.

“Hmph!” David instantly snorted coldly, his body trembled in various frequency and the undulation was instantly broken.

He bared his teeth in anger as though asking ‘What the hell are you doing?’

The lady’s expression changed and she was surprised. Even with his weak body, he was still able to shrug off her Reconnaissance-eyes and while her technique wasn’t as good as her dead junior brother’s, a barely made Star rank was able to destroy her survey, which made her really surprised as the distance between Meteor rank and star rank was an entire grade. David shouldn’t have been able to resist in the slightest.

This instantly made Rachelle suspicious of the boy before him. Could he have been the one?

She squinted her eyes and suddenly, an intense wave of pressure exploded from her holding David in place.

David felt as though his entire body had been glued to the ground. He couldn’t move a single muscle and even his blood circulation appeared quite stiff. Fiercely glaring at the devellish-looking woman before him, David gritted his teeth and tried to move. All of his muscles bulged obscenely, but he was only able to form a fist but could do nothing else.

His red eyes shone with an intense glow and the blood in his body struggled against the pressure.

The woman lazily stretched her body and smiled at David before suddenly saying. “How did you kill Vather?”

“Huh? Are you not going to answer me?” Rachelle raised an eyebrow and the force surging out from her increased exponentially.

The ground beneath David’s feet exploded and his ankles sunk deeply into the ground. The intent in his face deepened and his eyes radiated a cold calm killing intent.

“I know someone who managed to kill my brother wouldn’t be so simple. You won’t confess that easily.” The lady tutted tutted and her hands stretched.

“Dont you think that he didn’t answer you because he’s actually mute?” One of the men behind her suddenly said with a bored expression on his face..

“Eh?” The lady glanced at David and then at her partners. Withdrawing her hand, she complained.

“Why didn’t you tell me that before?”

The other man sighed. “Rachelle you might be the successor of the family now, you need to take things more seriously. We sent you the files of all the David within this region, but it appears you didn’t read them.”

Rachelle waves her hands nonchalantly. When I’m the head, I won’t need to sort things out my self since I can have as many subordinates as I want. She smiled and then glanced at David.

“Come on, he’s just an ordinary mute kid. There’s no way a star rank could have killed Vather even a Cosmic rank expert wouldn’t necessarily touch him. Moreover, he was killed on that planet not here, we are just wasting our time out here.” The bored looking man then yawned and turned, leaving.

“But we can’t go to that planet, can we? There’s no longer any transmission device to get us there and the planet is a couple of light years light years away from here. I won’t spend 5 years of journey just to avenge his death.”

“I don’t like his eyes.” Rachelle frowned gazing into David’s crimson eyes.

The other man sighed and then said. “Do what you wish.” with that. He turned around to leave.

“I really don’t like your eyes.”

“Puchi!”

Blood splattered and the blood tissue dangled right below David’s cheeks. David’s body trembled violently in pain although he strangely felt that he was used to more pain than this, it was still very painful. He couldn’t even open his eyes and scream as the pressure was just so intense.

“That’s much better.” Rachelle clapped her hands in joy and smiled.

“Wait for me!” With that, she turned around and left with a flash.

David dropped to his knees panting as though his life depended on it. An intense surge of anger that seem to originate from the void exploded out of nowhere, surging within him. His body vibrated with massive anger filling the deepest part of his soul.

He wasn’t the person they were looking for but the lady still blinded him because she didn’t like his eyes? Just what sort of logic was that!?

Suddenly, his body stopped trembling and he smelt two familiar figures coming toward the alleyway.

“Finally, we were able to personally meet with you.” One of them smirked as they cornered David with their bodies.

‘Huh? Weren’t they tracking me with the other three people? I guess they are from another group then. It doesn’t matter, I will just have a little sip.’

The second man grabbed David’s hair and pulled him upwards. “The two young misses send their greetings.”

“BOOM!”

Blood sprinkled like rain and before the blood could touch the floor, David’s hands stretched outwards, the blood forming two sharp bone spikes that extended from his forearm like spears.

His body rotated and he stabbed backwards. The other man was shocked to see the huge hole in his partner’s stomach. But he was still able to react, forming an invincible barrier made from condensed air.

“Crack! BANG!!”

Both the air shield and the blood spikes exploded, turning into drops of crimson liquid blood. But David wasn’t too concerned. His arm as quick as lightning turned unto claws with the aid of blood, stabbing straight into the man’s heart.

Like his partner, he was already dead in the blink of an eye. David felt his gums getting irritated and two sharp long fangs grew out. Didn’t wait a second, he instantly chomped down on the man’s throat.

“Gulp! Gulp!! Gulp!!!”

Blood spilt on the ground from David’s lips. Seeing the man drained of blood David flung his body aside as though it was paper. With a flash, he appeared right before the second man, draining him of his blood till there was nothing left.

The blood on the ground coagulated to form an orb which floated in mid air into David’s mouth.

But he was still hungry! Too hungry!!!

“Chomp!”

He but through the man’s neck, pieces of flesh entering his mouth. David’s eyes seem to be turning gold as he realised the flesh was as good as the blood! Like an insane beast, David tore through the man’s neck until only a head rolled on the ground.

David inhaled, a mad smile on his face with blood on his mouth. He closed his eyes. The world seems much simpler now.

“Is this a mistake or is it that you actually enjoy my pain of coming all the way from the dining room to this place to call you?”

Hearing no response, Matilda was incensed and she shouted in anger.

“Wake up!”

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

David hurriedly got out of bed and knocked back as a sign.

Hearing this, Matilda snorted and climbed back down to the ground floor.

David cracked his neck and yawned. Running his eyes when he suddenly froze. His eyes, he could see!

‘Was it a dream? If it was, it’s a really scary one.’ David shook his head, getting rid of his thoughts, he got cleaned himself up and then headed downstairs.

Throughout the way, he kept getting weird looks from the maids but David simply ignored them and went to have breakfast.

Mrs Hills loosed the apron, giving it to the maid. She then spotted David. Smiling, she asked. “How was the training yesterday? You went straight to bed so fast I wasn’t able to- ” Her voice slowed to a halt as her eyebrows rose up, with her hands in her hip she squinted at David.

“David Hills, what the hell have you done to your hair!?”
