Chapter 121 - 114 (1/2)

[Ting! Emergency task: Escape from the Xiu Royal Palace within one minute.]

Zero was already used to this sudden pressuring of his system as he calmly stood up from his bed.

”System, what is the reward for this task?”

Zero knew that the system wouldn't respond yet he just wanted to talk to someone due to spending his time in the punishment trial because of the failed mission. He spent his three years there and now that he had awaken, he wanted someone to talk to despite having to talk to this system.

The black raven haired youth estimated the height of his room while looking through the window. He was fifteem feet high from the ground which was appropriate for him to jump.

[36 seconds remaining.]

Zero ignored the system as he jumped down with no hesitation. Simultaneously, the third princess opened the door while she carried her sweet smile. That tender smile that she had on her face turned into a confuse and into an alarm look.

She hurried out as she alerted the palace guards.

[Three pursuers at the west wing, two infront and one in the left wing.]

Currently, he was in the west wing which was the shortest way to get through the exit of the royal palace.

Zero wasn't into avoiding them as he waited for the three palace guards to arrived. He used his Cosmic Fire to hinder their path and left them immovable. That was just a small portion of his power as he didn't want to hurt anyone severely.

Seeing an opportunity, the young man immediately escaped while they suffered in his attack.

He successfully got away from them as the system notified him for completion.

[Emergency task completed. Reward partial memory deletion. Going back now.]

Zero had never heard a certain reward about getting your memory wiped out and what did this defected system meant about the word 'partial'?

Before he could complain and refuse the reward, he was sent back to the system space while the body was carried by the system to the new recruits of the Circus. The body had been set in an automatic mode until the proxy would arrive and that was the silver haired young man.

As Zero awaken from his deep slumber in the system space which was in sleep mode due to the host's long absence that caused for it to come back on its original state of blackness, as Chun stumbled upon the floating person in the black space.

Zero didn't remember about escaping from the palace as he only have a recollection to what he had suffered as he died in the Soul Tower. He thought that he could finally leave the space but the system dozed his hope with cold water as he had a task to cultivate for one year here leaving all of his fleeing situation to the silver haired young man.

Chun had spent two weeks with the Circus, it had been well other than the continuous news regarding about the movements of the Royal Guards.

They were trusted soldiers of the King as General Mo Jianguo headed this group.

Currently they were heading to the outskirts of the capital city as they were invited there by a close acquaintance of their Master. Though, the Head Seats were hiding the fact about their Master's disappearance but the people in the Circus was becoming to be curious as they had never seen any shadow of their Master. Despite being careless and would suddenly disappear from time to time but Zero would still go back once a year.

But strangely, they never seen him for more that three years.
