Evil Touches The World

"Let's get something straight here..."

Edward paused and laughed as he continued.

"Your gay boyfriend actually wants to see I and Riele? Are we really safe?"

Riele Instantly butted in.

"Like you said, he's a crazed lunatic..."

Tommy did not pick offense out of the insult for Jayson. For some reason, he thinks that Jayson actually deserves their insults...

PriceWill Seven star hotel remained calm within it's interior.

It's decorum far outclassed even those tyrant hotels in the movies.

"You don't have to worry about Jayson. This is simply his way of making sure I keep the right friends." Tommy shrugged...

Riele's brows knotted further.

"Does he even need to go this far?"

"Psh, some jerk–" Edward chuckled lightly.

The hotel remained absolutely quiet for a moment and then, a waiter walked towards them in the dinning section and served them.

As a sign of respect, the waiter bowed.

"Mr President..."

He dropped several dishes served on the tables.

"Sir, price exceeds the $18 million threshold. Do I have to involve the president himself?"

Tommy thought for a while.

"No– it's alright," he got out his gold platinum card and swiped on the ATM machine. Three consecutive green beeps echoed after...

In the next minute, the trio was left alone as they minced on their dishes.

Edward did not imagine that he was ever going to dine with the president's son... It was almost something that can be considered as — In your dreams... But all of a sudden, here he was, nervously eating with the famed CrossWood Tommy.

"I can't believe this is happening..."

Edward started, causing Tommy and Riele to raise their heads up as they both listened to what he had to say.

"This is a big accomplishment in my own part, to actually be sitting side by side with you... you cannot imagine how it feels."

Edward said that Tommy chuckled somewhat nervously.

"Pass that... It's no big deal."

But all of a sudden, an ear-piercing sound thundered somewhere within the distance causing a deafening crack as the earth splitted in different parts.

The PriceWill Seven star hotel trembled slightly, but then...

Shook dangerously as though it was the end of the world.

"What's going on?"

Edward was confused...

Riele stood up from her position, holding Edward close in case of a sudden accident.

And almost as if instructed by instinct, a massive pillar crumbled and smashed the distance where Riele had been previously seated.

Tommy turned to them.

"You both need to leave, now! I have the coordinates to Echelon High School. If I open my spatial teleportation... You both should stay safe within."

Edward immediately jumped in.

"I want to help..."

"No, it's dangerous." Tommy argued as a spatial crack came to life.

"You have two seconds, remember?"

< 2 >

< 1 >

Reluctance filled Edward's eyes as he grabbed Riele.

Almost immediately, the surrounding Instantly became sluggish that it became almost impossible to move.

< 0 >

The Spatial crack was slowly starting to fade and Edward was already nowhere near the crack.

Tommy gritted his teeth.

"Guys hurry!"

Edward Instantly squealed.

"We're trying..."

Tommy felt the power of a world born from Unconsciousness, almost like his own world. He realized that he was being attacked once again.

However, before the intensity of this world could increase, Tommy had activated Afterimage... appearing 100 yards away from the domain, he adjusted his Void feet and the crack appeared once again...

This time around, Tommy controlled the surrounding void that a suction force Instantly pulled Edward and Riele into it, leaving Tommy alone once again.

He sighed and vanished.

Tommy reached for his phone and saw Jayson's call.

Without minding, he picked up the phone call.

"Where the hell are you? The city is under ruins and you wander the streets alone? Your dad is very upset."

Tommy did not answer the question but then asked his own question.

"The Awakened association should be on their way right?"

Jayson closed his eyes and answered after a moment...

"There are a bunch of them at your dad's command. He even hired three Sovereigns and three Transcendents from the association. So, I need you to return to the White House and allow the Awakened association to deal with the situation."

Tommy sighed.

"I'm on my way..."

Tommy pocketed his phone, but then froze.

He saw a towering shockwave coming his way.

Tons of titanic blows erupted moment after sending massive wind blowing away buildings and towering skyscrapers...

Tommy was almost caught up in the devastating destructions, but almost immediately, someone grabbed him and, he saw his entire world turn pitch black.

This time around, his skills and abilities became unresponsive.
