Chapter 1362: Learning Qi (Part 1)
Now that the others had arrived, Kai found himself worrying about one thing, that maybe the group would start treating this like a holiday even more than they had before.
However, it didn’t take long for Kai to realize that he had been completely wrong about that thought.
As the new arrivals saw the others practicing, their interest immediately shifted. They were eager to see how much progress everyone had made, including their own.
This curiosity sparked an intense wave of competitiveness between the groups, driving everyone to continue training and fighting harder than before.
Outside, in their own designated area, Innu, Gary, Xin, and Kevin gathered in the same spot they had been using previously, only now there was one more person who had decided to observe.
“I see, so that’s what he’s up to,” Kanu said, watching the group. “I have to say, the world of gangs and mobsters certainly seems more interesting than I thought. I always assumed the White Rose was full of politics and other troubles, but hearing about your problems, and this power of Qi, it really makes me wonder why it isn’t more widespread.
“Perhaps only a select few people can learn it, or maybe it’s a matter of secrecy, keeping it hidden to maintain an advantage. In the past, when we relied more on guns and such, I imagine it didn’t seem worth protecting.”
“I spoke to my father about that recently,” Xin chimed in. “I heard they’re considering getting rid of the Non-Lethal Weapons Act.”
Kanu nodded. “Right. If Altereds disappear, then countries will want to replace that force with something else. I just hope it won’t be something we turn against each other in the future, better to keep it for some greater threat.”
Xin chuckled softly. “Are you talking about aliens?”
“Of course I am! Why, do you think they don’t exist?” Kanu replied with a raised brow. “Think about it. With how vast the universe is, with all the planets out there, for us to be the only life form in existence? That’s a pretty arrogant thought. And I’m sure you’ve heard the theory, if something did discover us, their technological advancements would far outweigh ours. We wouldn’t stand a chance.
