Chapter 59: The Jasper Attack
Raiden and his comrades stood before the house’s entrance, watching as three men and a woman approached. Leading them was an elderly man—probably in his late sixties—with long white facial hair and a white beard tied back in a ponytail. Despite his aged appearance, his yellow aura radiated strength that contradicted his years.
He was flanked by a bald, muscular man with a golden aura on his right and a young man roughly a year or two older than Raiden, grey-haired with his aura radiating gold. Behind them all walked a young girl, about fifteen years old with dark hair, her aura radiating white.
The old man’s eyes held sheer intensity—he clearly wasn’t someone to kid with—but he also carried a calm demeanor. The young girl, however, was the most hyper among them, jumping from side to side as they approached.
To match the sorrow they were about to let out, they all wore black suits, the pitch-dark fabric reflecting their expressions perfectly while displaying the number seven on their crests.
"Shit..." Speed muttered as he pulled Soul into his arms. "That’s the Jasper family—the head and all his children."
Levi raised an eyebrow. "I wasn’t expecting them to come this early."
Raiden sighed as aura began coursing through him, a twisted smile forcing its way onto his lips. "Were you expecting an invitation to fight?"
His grin deepened. "They want us to kill them."
Raiden’s words hung in the air for a brief moment as Levi narrowed his eyes for a better look while Soul continued to hide behind Speed.
"The girl... I’ve seen her before." Levi immediately turned invisible. "She’s a psycho and their supporter as well."
Raiden’s expression darkened. He turned backward, and Levi was no more. "You want to take care of it?"
