54 Auction "Hey Kiera, do you know if there is an auction house around here?" She looked at him in surprise for a moment and then replied, "Yes, it's quite famous, the Blackwood family is in control of it." "Oh, I've heard about them before, they're that family who are famous for churning out high-ranking hunters, right?" Emir asked, followed by a quick, "Yep," from Kiera. "They're often seen as lap dogs of the UEF, and their public image has taken a beating, especially with the rumors going…-

53 Relics Emir nodded, understanding the implications. This area was too high-profile for the UEF to raid without causing a massive uproar, and the Elite had the resources to cover up any illicit activities. It was the perfect place for the black market to thrive, their playground. "A grand welcome, Kiera," he chuckled. Kiera grinned, "Yeah, these guys know how to treat their customers. Let's get going." "Which do you think we should sell first, the weapons and augmented suits, or the…

52 Black Market Inside were rows upon rows of various relics. Some were small and unremarkable, while others were large and ornate. There were small toys, clothing, peculiar-looking boxes, and intricate accessories displayed on large shelves. Some caught his attention, like an ornate amulet and a set of ancient daggers with razor-sharp edges. "I need something to carry all of this," Emir muttered, turning to Lyra for assistance. she replied promptly. "Good, that will do." He headed…

51 Factions Sometime Before Emir's Abduction He asked, walking towards the slums. She asked. 'It wasn't even properly explained in the novel, it was all so vague, like the most of it.' He thought. 'It would be great if that was viable for me, unfortunately. It would disrupt all signals, not just my enemies.' He mused. … … … Present time Emir sighed and stood up. "Very well... I was hoping we…

50 Respect They traded blows, each strike more powerful than the last. Emir's strength was waning, his muscles were burning with fatigue, and his mental energy was draining. He ducked under one of her punches and landed a hard uppercut to her jaw. "Ugh!" She stumbled back, dazed. Emir followed up with a roundhouse kick to her head, causing her to roll on the ground across the room. "Hoooooh...." He took a moment to catch his breath, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of…

49 Raven Instantly using his TDS ability to the maximum, Emir managed to evade the first shot, with the second bullet hitting him right in the shoulder just before he got into cover behind some crates. Thankfully, he was donning his augmented suit, because if he wasn't, he would've been dead then and there. Lyra controlled Max into shooting right back at the enemy, allowing him some much-needed time to swallow some old-world medicine. But she soon stopped firing, unable to control the…

48 Satisfaction As soon as she started moving, a small hologram of her current situation was present in front of Emir, showing him her location from a third-person point of view. "We are a small group belonging to an underworld faction. I don't know much about our leaders, not that I could tell you anyways, but just know that the faction members secretly infiltrated many seats of the UEF government, their industries, and sectors." As he spoke, Emir watched Lyra control Max in his Chrono-Sense…

47 Torture II With each snap of Emir's fingers, the pain surged through him like a bolt of lightning. The man seemed to take pleasure in causing him agony, and Emir could hear his laughter echoing in the small room. Emir's fingers throbbed as the man moved on to his arms, pulling and twisting them with a sickening force. He felt the bones in his arms bend and break under relentless torture. The pain was unbearable, and Emir was starting to lose consciousness. But the torturer wasn't…

"Listen, Max. I know that you're still hiding things from me." Raising his left hand, Emir lightly slapped Max's face twice. "C'mon man, just stop wasting my time, we both know what would happen if you don't tell me all that you know." Max's eyes widened in fear, and he began to stutter: "O-okay, l-look, I already told you everything I know, the rest wouldn't help you, b-but I'll tell you anyway, okay? J-just don't hurt me." Emir tightened his grip on the knife and stood up from the table.…

{We found them.} In the aftermath of the initial shock and excitement, his mind raced with the realization that Kiera and her gang had finally located the culprits responsible for the hit on him. 'It's time for the hunter to hunt,' he thought with grim determination, only smiling further because of it. 'But before I do anything, I better tell them about what's happening before I go off-grid for a while.' After all, he couldn't risk being caught off guard while trying to increase his rank,…
