Mystical Journey

Mexico, St. Jeddah

"Ha ha ha ha... Mr. Rod is indeed a man true to his words, the previous agreement has already been completed. No wonder the allies in the Alliance are convinced about Mister. It’s not without reason."

In an underground cave beneath a dense forest that served as a modest white base, two groups of people dressed in suits were in a meeting. The leaders from both sides shook hands with each other. One of them had a head full of red hair and a strong body and was laughing loudly. His laughter reverberated throughout the underground hall.

"Captain White Phoenix is too polite. Naturally, we couldn’t delay a request from the person-in-charge of Gremlin, so we urgently directed a batch of goods from South America and supplied it here," the person in the deep purple suit spoke. His face was full of smiles and he had a friendly look, as though he was an ordinary businessman.

After exchanging greetings with each other, the two leaders went to a separate room, sat down and ordered coffee. Several glamorous women came in and gave both sides gentle massages.

The small white room was covered with silvery-white metal walls. There were also bright green oval gems embedded in them. The gems seemed to be decorations but the dim green light that flashed from time to time proved that they were not mere decorations. There seemed to be special effects.

The redhead from White Phoenix laid on the white couch, allowing the women on the side to massage his body.

"This time, besides the shipment, Mr. Rod should have something else to discuss? Although the personnel in this new base of White Phoenix are not much, all the elites have been transferred over. So, just say anything you want."

"So generous?" Rod smiled and said. He let a woman take off his coat, revealing the white shirt below.

"You’ve brought us the latest Arefal materials. Without this, our armor would be just a useless piece of iron. Who would have imagined that..."

Boom.

Suddenly, a slight tremble came from the ground.

The red-haired captain’s complexion became serious but he quickly reverted back to his original smiling face.

"Let me go and have a look, excuse me."

"Please go ahead." Rod made a gesture indicating that he was not offended.

The redhead walked to the door and turned around, revealing a smile.

"You can treat it as though I did not exist. Don’t worry, I will not ruin the mood."

Rod mirrored his smile and indicated that he did not see anything.

Boom!!

Another loud roar.

The door closed automatically and the White Phoenix captain’s expression immediately fell.

He raised his wrist. A black-haired young woman was displayed on the surface of his black bracelet.

"What happened?"

The woman answered quickly.

"An outsider had found the entrance. I’m mobilizing the surveillance..." the woman reported, but when she saw the monitor her calm facade was immediately broken.

She blinked. Suspecting that something was wrong with what she had seen, she checked the monitor once again.

"I... I see someone hitting the gate of the base... let me take a closer look... oh my goodness..."

The woman’s expression suddenly became fascinated. She opened her eyes wide as though she could not believe what she’d seen. With her mouth wide open, her face froze at this moment.

"What happened?" the captain of the White Phoenix asked impatiently. He was the highest officer in charge of guarding the base and leading the core guards with the codename of White Phoenix. His position was only below Gremlin. In the absence of Gremlin, he was in charge of the whole base.

He took off the monocle over his right eye. The monocle quickly displayed rows of passwords and the passwords were soon lifted.

The surveillance footage was immediately displayed in front of him.

At that moment, his expression too became fascinated. His mouth opened slightly and became wider.

******************

Boom!!

Garen punched a hole in a thick silvery white wall. He inserted his other hand and tore open the hole.

Sila!!

He tore down a big chunk of the metallic wall. Along with the shrill alarm sound and red lights flashing, the wall emitted a piercing sound of metals being twisted, and then it was ripped off like a piece of cardboard.

Garen wore a simple black sleeveless shirt and trousers while revealing his slightly sun-tanned muscles. His muscles moved around like waves throughout his body and collected in his arms, before with some force.

Boom!!

Another punch revealed what was underneath the layer of wall, which was a deep hole going straight downwards. It seemed to be an underground elevator shaft.

Garen took a look at the surveillance camera positioned in a corner.

He could hear voices and sound of footsteps at a distance. There were also sounds of guns being adjusted.

He jumped down into this shaft with a depth that even he did not even know.

His goal was the central control room or the core control room.

There would be a core control room in any base and as long as it was under control, everything else would also be under his control.

After falling down for more than ten seconds, he could see a faint white glow at the bottom.

Both of Garen’s feet landed with a loud bang and created a crater that was a few meters wide. Some of the tiny metallic parts fell out, rattling.

This base was different from the normal base. It seemed unusually small but the protection was very thick.

Garen walked out from the crater. There was a square elevator exit at his side but it was blocked by a metal door. He tore it open and went in.

Inside was a spacious warehouse-like hall. He seemed to have landed at the very bottom.

The hall was dark except for the flashes of red light from the alarm. A mechanical female voice was repeating an announcement in a language unfamiliar to Garen, hence he did not understand what it was reporting.

In the central space of the hall, there were five human figures standing on the black floor. The five figures were wearing bodysuit-like white metallic armor. Their heights were different but they all had a common point; they were all donning thin white armor and it seemed like even the place where they breathed through was covered without the slightest gap.

The leader in front stared at Garen’s horrifying sun-tanned muscles, then the metallic door that had been ripped off and thrown aside. His eyelids were twitching non-stop. He was the captain of the White Phoenix, the highest officer in charge of guarding the base and leading the core guards with the codename of White Phoenix. After watching the display, he’d immediately dressed up in armor and had come to intercept to let all of the ordinary guards get away from this person.

The kind of monster that could even punch open metallic walls, ordinary guards were no match for him.

"Mister, this is the White Phoenix Base under the Primary Colors Organization, did you pick a wrong target? We don’t remember offending you in any way."

Before coming here, in that short amount time, he had checked for enemies with similar features but the answer he got was none. Though this man was wearing a black mask, the characteristics of his stature and size could at least be compared.

"This is the strongest get-up that White Phoenix could assemble?" Garen looked at these five people. This white full-body armor seemed to be quite strong.

Suddenly, he took a step back. A laser swept through the place he stood just now and made a black line on the floor.

Garen’s toes moved. A stone flew up and crashed directly into the laser launcher, smashing it to pieces. After a slight sound of electricity, there was no more movement.

"Remember, the one who killed you all is the Nighthawk King!" Garen stopped speaking nonsense and with a stomp, he blasted forward like a cannonball and crashed into the armored captain at the front.

His right fist could not even be seen. There was only a flash and it had already smashed into the chest of its target.

Chi chi chi...

In an instant, one laser after another shot out from the five people. Their speed was so fast that the instant they were fired, the lasers have already reached the fist that Garen punched out. Green smoke was emitted.

The foot of the armored captain made a kaka sound and propelled him backwards. His speed was only slightly slower than Garen but it was enough to dodge Garen’s punch.

"Kill him!"

The captain shouted.

With some mechanical sounds, the other four armored members shot out more than ten black, fingernail-sized metal pieces that sped towards Garen from hidden locations all around.

Boom!!

One arm pierced through the captain’s chest, completely ignoring the armor’s defense as though it was a thin sheet of paper. The armor caved inwards, and the broken shards pierced the captain’s abdomen and tore at his red flesh.

Just now, Garen had made a sudden acceleration at one moment and with an explosion, his arm, under the influence of its inertia, had pierced through the captain chest.

He slammed the captain against the wall of the base.

Only at this moment did the numerous black metal shards fly over and pierce his back.

Boom boom boom boom!!!

A series of explosions sounded.

These little black metal pieces were actually miniature bombs. A series of explosions occurred on Garen’s back.

There was smoke all over the place. The other four quickly and silently stepped back without any hesitation. They appeared to be ready to escape. Their captain’s current status was unknown but none of them were truly loyal to the White Phoenix. Everyone here was a mercenary, and none of them would throw away their lives for money.

"He fell down here. As long as we switch off the power, he won’t be able to go up and we’ll have lots of methods to deal with him! Retreat!"

"What about the captain?" a member who could not contact the captain asked.

"We won’t make it! If we don’t retreat now, it will be too late!"

"Go!"

These few were all ruthless mercenaries. As long as they’d made a decision, they would not hesitate. They made an agreement with their communication devices instantly.

Before the four of them finished their communication while retreating, suddenly four pieces of black metals flew over with a snap sound.

There was only a flash in front of their eyes and the metal fragments instantly arrived in front of them with an astounding speed.

Then, peng peng peng peng! After a few dull impact sounds, the four of them were sent flying and crashed into the wall. Incredibly, none of their bodies had been separated into halves. They seemed to be merely unconscious.
