Ascension Of The Blood Supreme

Madmax’s hazy eyes fluttered open as the alarm rang in the room.

The moment he came to, an expression of nervousness appeared on his face.

Did his daughter return home last night?

In his pajamas, he left the room and knocked on his daughter’s door.

But he didn’t get any response.

He entered the room. But no one was there.

"Did she get a boyfriend and sleep over at his place or something?" Madmax said. This was the first time his daughter hadn’t slept at home.

Suddenly, several friends of his, drug lords temporarily in town for business, started to call him.

"Hello... city lord... is my son there with your daughter..."

"Hello, Madmax, is my..."

As Madmax ended the calls, he could not help but grow more nervous.

He didn’t know what the hell was going on here.

If his daughter and her friends were not at her friends’ place, then where were they?

Were they missing?

Had someone captured his daughter?

"Enforcers, in the hall now!" Madmax shouted.

Several enforcers gathered in the hall in fear. They didn’t like the man’s tone. He was pissed.

And when he was pissed, he did crazy stuff.

The city lord looked at the enforcers.

He was looking for someone.

Where was Butler Steve?

"Where’s Butler Steve?" he asked.

"Butler Steve didn’t return last night, sir," one of Steve’s assistants said. "We thought he was escorting her to spend more time exploring the city. But to think..."

Before the assistant could finish speaking, his head froze into ice. His body fell on the ground with a thud.

The others looked at Madmax in fear. He had killed the assistant butler, just like that...

He had completely lost it. It seemed they were all gonna die here.

"Motherfuckers! They’ve definitely been kidnapped," Madmax cursed. "You are all useless, absolutely useless!"

Just when he was about to kill the others, someone screamed from his room.

It was his concubine.

A glint flashed through his eyes.

"Dismissed. I will deal with you motherfuckers later."

"Yes, sir."

The enforcers sighed in temporary relief as Madmax headed straight to his bedroom.

The woman was trembling as she pointed a finger at the wall.

If you want to see your daughter again, come to the middle of the desert facing the Eastern district.

The moment Madmax saw it, it was as if a fuse had been let loose in his mind.

All he could think about was the safety of his daughter. He didn’t care about which enemy was targeting him. Neither did he care about whether or not he may be walking into a trap. As a matter of fact, it didn’t even occur to him.

He could be careful and perceptive in most situations. But this was his daughter...

His only living relative. And she had been kidnapped. A second he wasted was a second she could die.

"Enforcers, follow me! Whoever this fucker is, we are going to tear them into shreds. Turn on the broadcast that pans across the desert. Let it serve as a deterrence to anyone who thinks they can target me and go scot-free. Summon the district lords!" he said.

"Roger, sir..."

Very soon, the four district lords, the enforcers, and Madmax flew across the city, headed towards the gate of the Eastern district. Each one of them was clad in a heavily fortified battlesuit. Affinities danced across their figures. Wings formed from their affinities were on their backs.

"This turned out better than I expected," Aiden muttered in his room as he watched everything, eyes crimson.

"He’s actually leading all his powerful men, including the district lords, into the trap. Looks like I don’t have to personally take care of the district lords."

Suddenly, someone knocked on his door.

It was Dickinson.

"Senior Turner, are you behind this..." Dickinson said from behind the door.

All TVs in the city had been cut to satellite footage.

According to the feed, the city lord’s daughter had been kidnapped by someone and was being held in the desert.

So, the city lord had gathered all the expert rank 2 warriors in his ranks, including the district lords.

The footage revealed them flying out of the city towards the middle part of the desert facing the Eastern district gate.

Everyone in the city was currently watching the feed.

"It will be over soon. Then it will be your turn to fulfill your end of the deal," Aiden replied.

"Yes... senior..." Dickinson replied from behind the door.

He was currently trembling in fear. He didn’t know what the senior had planned for the city lord and his entourage outside the city. No one watching the feed did.

But the certainty in the man’s voice made him realize that whatever scheme this senior had cooked up meant the end of the city lord and his entourage. What a dangerous man.

Dickinson quietly returned to the couch and kept watching the footage.

As for Aiden, he was in thought.

"After I am done with the city lord’s issue, I can have Dickinson’s father be released. Then he will forge an identity for me. But even after that, I will still have two months to spend here before the transport to the Western seaport. Perhaps I could use that time to my advantage to absorb more blood essence."

"If I assume the position of the city lord, several neighboring city lords will think the strong city lord of MadCity is dead. I can have rumors be spread that I’m only one legendary rank 2 warrior. That way, they will think I’m an easy target and rush here with their entourage to get rid of me and take over the city. I will just kill them and absorb their blood essence. I hope they come in large numbers, though. But to initiate this plan, I need to use this broadcast to expose myself. When people see me, rumors will naturally spread and facilitate the process."

"An alternative to absorb blood essence would have been to slaughter everyone in the city and absorb their blood essence when I’m leaving the city. But if I cause too much of a commotion, it won’t be good. I’m just passing through these parts. There are assassins after me. Even if I’ve changed my identity, the sudden disappearance of a city overnight can make the Order and the Cyrenthia Empire suspicious. After all, this is not the first time I’ve eliminated a city off the map. But if I just kill the city lords of the other cities and their entourage, no one will suspect anything. Everyone will treat it as a squabble between city lords over territory. Things like that happen in the Kahra Desert all the time."

Aiden decided.

Crimson wings formed behind his back inside his clothes.

He flew through the windows and headed into the skies. His destination was where Madmax and his entourage were headed.
