Lucky 33

"I- It's Young Master Chen! H- he hired us to beat you up and said that we must deliver you to him."

One of them said with a trembling body, he was afraid that he was going to be the next person to be put in a grave. The sinkhole was blowing hollow wind and sent shivers down his spine, he didn't want to be buried in that endless hole! Calix just smashed Devon into the ground and they didn't know if the veteran was dead or not. However, the fact that there was a sinkhole in the ground affirmed one thing. Calix is hella strong!!

"Hm? Young Master Chen? What else?"

"Y-Yes. He said that you are weak and we can beat you without any help from Vindicator. Devon was only here to supervise us but…"

The guys stopped talking because the rest was history. His head remained on the ground and he didn't dare to raise his head. He was afraid to make any eye contact with Calix, he might incur his wrath. 

Calix listened while touching his chin. There was something that tugging him. Young Master Chen won't do this without any reason… Perhaps, he already knew about Calix and Scarlett.

" Do you know the reason why he did this? Any motives?"

He asked because he felt like someone important was going to get hurt. His intuition was telling him that Young Master Chen wanted to do something bad about Scarlett.

"I- It's…"

The people remained quiet and didn't want to speak at first. 

However, Calix kicked the face of one of them and he didn't stop with that. He grabbed the poor guy's ear and pulled it. Calix was used to pulling out someone's ear. The ear ripped off and the guy started crying! He lost his ear!

"Aaahhhhhhh!! My ear!!! My ear!!!"

"Shut up!"

Calix was angry because he knew that they were hiding something important to him. His intuition was telling him that something happened to…

Calix glare at another person and the man almost fainted.

"You! Tell me what you know or else I'll snatch your ear too!!"

"Y- Yes!! Please have mercy."

The guy dropped his head and cried.

"Start Talking!!"

"S- Scarlett, t- they have another group that will abduct Scarlett Robinson!! T- The members of the said group is consist of veteran Vindicators!! Based on the time, s- she is-- Guah!!"

Calix grabbed his hair and stared at him with his deep green dangerous eyes. Calix was furious. He knew that Scarlett and Young Master Chen had a connection but Scarlett already severed it since long time ago. Calix hated that someone was trying to hurt his woman. He might kill Chen after this. Scarlett is strong but Chen is not stupid either, he surely hired strong people to abduct her. 

"Tell me where they are."

Calix turned serious. 

"Y-Yes!!"

…

One the other place, a woman was huffing as her skin was full of bruises and her head was bleeding. Her left arm was grazed but thankfully it wasn't anything major. The whole place was scorched and different sizes of craters were all around. The smell of smoke rising to the sky was suffocating.

She swallowed hard as she continued standing. There were lifeless bodies around her, their wounds and burns looked critical. Scarlett won and defeat seven Vindicators on her own. Although she didn't win flawlessly, her body had injuries and even her head was bleeding. 

Despite being outnumbered, Scarlett did her best and won. She was taught that in the battle, she must never show any mercy. Scarlett didn't hesitate to burn and eradicate her enemies. Five of the seven Vindicators died because she turned them into ashes. In fact, the bodies around her were not entirely bodies, they were organs and limbs. 

Scarlett huffed and glared at the two men that she left alive. Their legs were missing and they couldn't run anymore. They cried blood because of deep anguish. They thought this battle was going to be easy because they outnumbered her. Yet, here they are, they lost their legs and near to death! They were given battle suits just in case but even the battle suit was not enough to defend against Scarlett's scorching sun-like fire. 

' That's not an ordinary fire!!! It's a fire from hell!! Even the battle suit that we got from the Cudgel Tech can't defend against that!!!'

Scarlett was one of the most talented Vindicators of her generation. Perhaps Chen underestimated her and believe that seven people were sufficient to subdue her. Chen was wrong, Scarlett could never kill a Third-Class Aberrant alone if she was not strong.

On top of that, the woman didn't wear a battle suit. She fought them with her flesh alone and with no help from the battle suit. Scarlett slightly brushed her hair up, the tips of her hair burned because she didn't hold back. She might die if she didn't go full force. 

She pushed her aching body and approached the two heavily injured men. 

"Where is he? Where is Calix? Where did you take him?"

She was angry. This was the real reason why she killed them. These people said that their allies abducted Calix and took him to Chen. Scarlett lost her reasoning and burned them alive. But she still left two persons alive so that she could interrogate them. 

This was the first time that she felt so strong like this, she felt like she could do everything. As long as Calix loves her, she could do everything. Actually, she couldn't believe that she could defeat seven strong Vindicators at first. However, when they said that Calix was abducted. Something cracked inside her head. The limitations that stopped her power to go full speed were destroyed. It was all because of her feelings towards Calix.

She could feel that she could become stronger. This was exhilarating and she loved it. 

And right now, Scarlett was going crazy because of these feelings. She was so anxious that she might lose herself and went savage. She was afraid that something bad happened to Calix. She couldn't accept that she was the reason why Calix was being hurt right now. Perhaps Young Master Chen and his underlings were beating Calix right now. 

On top of that, she was confused why no one helped her. She knew that few people under her father, General Bronal, were watching over her. Yet no one helped her, not even Athena… 

Something was clutching inside her chest, she couldn't breathe well. She started casting small fireballs and aimed them at the two poor guys. 

"Tell me where he is, or else you will lose your arms too!!"

She yelled as her saliva spat out of her mouth. She was furious and showed her true face. Her red eyes were shining dangerously. 

She planned to kill these two even if they tell everything.
