Troubles During Moving

  After Solance left, Ryker gathered his family before telling them of their temporary move. While he expected some resistance, apparently the children were very happy with the arrangement. So did his lovers when he told them all.

  When he asked for their reason, they all, and yes, it included his lovers, because they wanted to spend more time with Solance and Shuri. He rubbed his forehead. In the end, it was a win for him as he didn't have to persuade them to move.

  Still, as they planned to move tomorrow, they need to bring their essentials with them. Their storage rings made things easier as they could store all of their belongings quickly. With all things prepared, they just have to wait for tomorrow.

  After a quick breakfast, Ryker gets a message from Formation Master Foru, telling him of the delay and that he has to wait for some time before the energy-gathering formation can be upgraded. He had expected it so he didn't mind.

  A knock made him move to the door as quickly as possible, to see Solance, wearing a cloak to hide his identity, motioning him to follow him. Ryker led the rest of his family to some prepared carriages.

  Only after they all entered the carriages did the tension seem to leave the young master. "Why did you look so stressed?" Ryker asked, seeing how his friends still looking out of the carriage's window.

  "There was a change of plan. The families noticed our movement so they tried to escape, forcing us to move the plan several days forward, which is today. So, I want to get us from this street as fast as possible," he told him, Ryker's face paying slightly at the prospect of moving all of his siblings during the first day of the fighting.

  "Don't worry, as long as the first-rate families suddenly want to be suicidal, then they will be trying to probe for some way out," as he finished saying that, an explosion was heard just outside the carriage.

  Everyone, including the servant and the children, in the carriage glared at him, making him whine as he put his face on his hand. Looking outside, he spots several experts at the Genesis Foundation realm causing havoc.

  "Where are the guards?" Ryker asked calmly, his eyes never leaving the rampaging cultivators.

  "The attack must take them by surprise as all the guards were stationed at the gates and several kilometers radius of the city territory. The people from the Great Families were the ones that should move to stop them but they must be scattered to find the forces of the first-rate families. It would take some time for them to arrive here," Solance said frantically.

  Ryker narrowed his eyes, seeing how the experts cut down a group of civilians without any care. "Wait here, I'm going to clean up the trash," he left after just saying that.

  "Wait, there are many Genesis Foundation experts out there, you not eno- " the servant stopped when Solance pat him on the shoulder.

  "Don't worry, he would be fine. In fact, the ones you should be worried about are those people. Ryker is pissed," 

  -x- 

  As stated by Solance, Ryker was angry. He silently walked towards the group that was busy causing destruction, looting, and killing some civilians.

  "Look, a brand new meat. Just because you are a Genesis Foundation expert doesn't make you our opponent. Just one of us is eno- "The talking man went silent, his body split in half from a single slash.

  Ryker looked at them with a cold gaze before he performed another two slashes. The other two tried to dodge but they were not fast enough. They were able to avoid death but they still lost some limbs from the attack.

  Seeing they survive his slash, Ryker stored his sword before moving in front of one of the men, his fist hitting the man's face. The result of the punch is the man's face explodes like a watermelon being crushed.

  Seeing his compatriots being killed, the last one tried to run away, but another slash killed him easily. With the area cleared of the pest, he returned to the carriage. Inside, he was met with a wide open mouth of the servant.

  "He just surprised you kill those guys easily," Solance explained. Ryker nodded. He didn't take offense at the lack of confidence. After all, the man had never seen him fight before so he didn't know Ryker's true strength.

  However, they still need to continue their journey. With the sudden fighting on the streets, everyone tried to remain inside, making them a rather bizarre sight as several carriages brought some people moving on the empty street.

  Of course, the fighters belonging to the first-rate families tried to attack them. Keyword: tried to. Every attack resulted in the attackers dying and the servants slowly got used to how powerful he actually was.

  By the third kill, he was already used to it. At the fourth fight, he even bet with his young master the time it took for Ryker to destroy the attackers.

  With Ryker taking care of the experts coming their way, the journey had been smooth. In fact, Ryker remained outside the carriage, his stead, Terrablitz was summoned so he could chase his enemy faster.

  When they reach the core region, the guards don't stop the carriage though they do stop Ryker from entering. Only an interference from the servant did they allow the young man to enter the core region.

  The group headed towards the Hal Family Estate, hoping that things would be calmer there.

  "Sir, there is the aura of the Uru Family!" a guard reported, his aura reaching the 4th Stage Genesis Condensing. 

  "Those scumbags, they dared to harm the life we have sworn to protect! Men, prepare to enter the battle formation. I want them dead as quickly as possible," one of the captains of the guard said, his cultivation realm at the 9th Stage Genesis Foundation though he still hasn't touched the peak of the Genesis Foundation realm yet.

  "Sir, the residual qi is that way!" one of the scouts said, one of the Cultivation Techniques he practiced allowed him to sense remaining qi, as long as the person didn't try to hide it or if the time of the fight passing had not been too long.

  They soon reached the spot the scout said, though instead of being greeted by attacks, they were met with the corpses of the enemies.

  "Who killed them first?" the captain asked.

  The scout used his technique again but grimaced. Seeing his subordinate's condition, the captain patted his shoulder, his qi stabilizing as the man took a deep breath to calm himself.

  "What did you find?" the captain asked. The scout went quiet for some time. The captain was about to repeat his question when he said,

  "There is someone at the Genesis Core realm that killed them,"
