Chapter 415 Beneath the Ground 2
Another day had passed since Reign first entered the mine. He had been working tirelessly.
'I'm ready,'
He tore a piece of cloth and wrapped the gems in it to avoid accidentally absorbing them.
Then, he walked over to the guard who directed him to the person in charge of collecting it.
Reign approached the collector's outpost. Unlike the rest of the mine, this area had furniture and was well lit.
He handed the bag of gems to the one in charge, who examined them.
While he waited, he couldn't help but glance at the area behind .
There, stacked in towering piles, were numerous black gems.
They glittered, their energy visible even from a distance.
Reign's heart raced with excitement. If he could get his hands on these pile, the boost to his strength would be enormous.
The collector was deeply absorbed in inspecting the stone. Reign saw this as an opportunity.
He noticed that one of the workers nearby was struggling with a heavy crate.
An idea sparked in his mind. He casually approached, and offered his help.
"Hey, let me give you a hand with that,"
The worker was hesitant at first, but after the collector nodded in approval, he allowed it.
Reign helped him carry the crate to a nearby storage area.
The worker, looking tired but grateful, glanced at Reign and said,
"Thank you for your help. It's a pity you're here at such a young age. I hope things will improve for you."
Reign just nodded in response, not saying a word.
Once the crate was positioned, he took advantage of the brief cover it provided.
The worker, still convinced that Reign was a good kid, didn't see what was coming until it was too late.
Out of nowhere, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and looked down to see a pointed rock embedded in it.
THUD!
Reign showed no mercy.
He quickly slipped through the pile of gems, silently.
But they did not need to search for long, as Reign had not even left .
Instead, he had calmly found a worn-out chair and sat down, waiting for them.
The guards, after finding him sitting there so nonchalantly, surrounded him quickly. They pointed their katana at him.
Reign, however, was not fazed at all.
Now that he had regained some of his strength and power, these guards were nothing more than ants in his eyes.
One of the guards, trying to sound authoritative, demanded, "Don't move! You're under arrest for murder!"
Reign looked up at them with a cold, indifferent gaze.
"Arrest me?" he said with a smirk. "You're going to need a lot more than that to stop me."
SWOOOSH!
Without warning, he jump out from his chair. He moved so fast that the guards barely had time to react.
They swung their weapons at him, but he was faster.
He effortlessly dodged their strikes and punched them, each blow causing anyone unlucky enough to be hit to explode into fragments.
"Stop him!"
"He's a demon! Kill him!"
They tried their hardest to bring him down, but the gap in their power was too great.
The cramped space and their numbers also made it hard for them to swing their weapons effectively, while their enemy was using his barehands.
He tore through them like a wild beast, his power overwhelming and unstoppable.
In just a few minutes, the fighting stopped completely.
The place was silent now, except for the soft drip of blood from the pile of corpses.
On top of the pile of bodies sat a young boy, his face smeared with the blood of those he had just killed.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" A laughing voice echoed through the air, catching Reign's attention.
When he turned around, he saw the Madman dancing and celebrating as if he had just achieved something great.
'Alright, time to get rid of this idiot,'
He made up his mind and slowly walked toward the Madman until they were face to face.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Little One" the Madman smirked, his grin stretching from ear to ear.
