Chapter 39: Attacked!
The stranger’s eyes shone as he looked at Kieran’s figure.
"I’ve seen a lot of energy, but his own... it’s different, it’s fierce... excess potential! I must get him to join the Nelkons. Finally, I’ll be able to prove the worth of my ability! And still gain rewards from the family... And the young lad will be indebted to me for adding him to the family," the recruiter could visualize his life after he recruited Kieran into the faction.
As they neared the main entrance of the AFO, their path was suddenly blocked by a figure.
A black-haired man, wrapped in a cape that added an air of mystery to his looks—even his sudden appearance was quite inconspicuous.
"Hold it there, young lad. Orion’s light has reached you today, you should be proud," the man said, his voice steaming with arrogance and pride.
Jacob looked at the figure with a frown.
It seemed some of the awakened had forgotten that they all held ranks in their respective factions.
’The band he has on his hand, he’s clearly a steel-ranked awakened,’ Jacob felt slightly insulted that someone still dared to try come up to Kieran despite the fact that he was being escorted by a gold-ranked awakened.
"I will be joining the Blue Fang faction," Kieran stated calmly, unfazed by the man’s sudden appearance and declarations.
The man looked at Kieran, scoffing at his words with a face that showed, ’You don’t know what you’re saying.’
"Let me explain. I am a recruit from the Nelkon family... I don’t believe that you would want to miss the opportunity to join our family," the man said, puffing out his chest with pride, his hands placed confidently by the sides of his waist.
