Chapter 60 - Eilhard Joins the Tower (1/2)

”A security company? You want to hire me as a bodyguard?” Eilhard threw the card back at Zero while glancing at him questioningly. He obviously did not want to end up as someone's bodyguard.

Zero caught the card with ease and kept it inside his pocket. ”No! You will be under Wolf King himself. And you can freely use the tower's resources for you to train. And there are a lot of masters there who can train you.”

Eilhard looked thoughtful. He just provoked a strong group with a lot of skilled fighters. The men earlier was merely a small squad. If he wish to stay alive and practice his knife skill to the peak, then he would surely need the backing of a strong group. And the man in front of him was giving him a mysteriously feeling. He was obviously an expert! He only felt this kind of power from the big leaders he saw from afar.

”Or are you perhaps doubting my capabilities, Eilhard?” Zero smiled at the young man, but Eilhard felt chills down his spine after seeing that smile. He also unsheathed his knife and guarded himself unconsciously.

”Oh? Such an active young man you are Eilhard.” Zero put his hands behind his back and glanced at Eilhard tauntingly. ”You can attack me for ten seconds, and I will not fight back during that amount of time. All I will do is just evade. Show me what you got.”

Eilhard felt provoked at Zero's taunting smile and casual look. He knew that the guy was looking down on him. 'I will make you pay for looking down on me.' He thought to himself as he dashed towards Zero erratically, making his approach very hard to predict.

Zero smiled and stood still, with his hands still behind his back.

Eilhard feigned an attack, but Zero just stood still as if he already predict it. The former then slashed his knife diagonally towards Zero. The latter took a step back while glancing tauntingly at Eilhard.

Eilhard lips twitched and he kep on attackin in different angles, but Zero calmly evaded each attacks with just the basic movements.

”Ahhhh!!” Eilhard shouted in anger and thrusted his knife with full strength. Zero put his right hand forward and blocked the knife attack with two fingers. He then pulled the knife out of Eilhard's grip and did a slashing motion.

Eilhard stopped in his tracks with thick beads of sweat on his forehead. He then glanced at the knife placed on his neck, making him gulped in fear.

Zero took the knife back and handed it to Eilhard, who received the knife with his shaking hands.

”Eilhard, I'll ask you again. Are you coming with me in Tyrannical Tower?” Zero smiled lightly at the young man, making the latter curse inwardly. 'This guy is forcing me to join them. Fuck! But his strength is the real deal. Maybe they really have a lot of masters there who can train me up to his level. Then by that time, I will regain back my pride against this bastard.'

”Okay Mr. Zero, you win. I will follow you in this Tyrannical Tower, but if ever I find out that you are just lying to me, then I will leave.” Eilhard spoke with a bit of indignation.

”Good! You will not regret this choice Eilhard. You will only thank yourself for making the wisest decision in the future.” Zero smiled and shook hands with Eilhard. The latter forced a smile, but he admired the guy for being strong. He was probably at S-Class level at the very least! And a group who can casually send an S-Class level fighter to recruit someone was definitely not just a normal group.

Inside the Tyrannical Tower's best room.

Two naked bodies were moving rhythmically as they enjoyed each other's flesh. They produced passionate sounds from time to time and thick globs of warm perspiration covered both their bodies, but it did not seem to bother them as they continued their thrusting motions with euphoric expressions.

”Eehnn! Ahhh!! Uuhh!”
