Endless Longing

Three days later, inside the main headquarters of the CIA.

"All our top agents were killed, and even Knight died as well. And all we know is that Wolf King did this, but we don't even have a shred of evidence regarding his involvement on this matter to support our claims." 

"We must send our most elite group and infiltrate that tower and if what we heard from Shannon's men was true, then that Artificial Intelligence might be even more advanced than the one we have made."

"No, their strength cannot be taken too lightly. How about negotiating with them?"

The middle-aged man sitting at the head seat was in deep thought. He was not even listening to the opinion of others and just continued to sit there silently. The frown on his face was becoming more prominent as the meeting went on.

'Wolf King, just what are you hiding?' 

Inside the Tyrannical Tower's arena, a young man and woman were listening attentively to the middle-aged man in front of them. 

"Origin energy is like flowing water, and the meridians are the rivers that it flows into..."

Demetrio, formerly the patriarch of the Kure Family in Altura was now teaching the basics of origin essence gathering to his new students, Sima Ying and Sima Fenglun. 

'This brother and sister pair are both very talented, and they can even rival some young elites from my Kure Family.' Demetrio thought to himself as he continued teaching the pair.

A man wearing a silver wolf mask was staring affectionately at Sima Ying. His shadow then vanished from the arena in a blink of an eye.

Demetrio glanced at where Wolf King was previously located with a surprised look. 'Emperor-Class level?!'

At the top of the tower, Wolf King removed his silver wolf mask and his features slowly reverted back to its original form. Short black hair, a pair of deep onyx eyes, tall nose and cherry red lips. The dream man of every woman in the world was now staring at the sky with longingness.

"Xia Qingyue, even in this life, I still don't have the guts to tell you what I feel. I wanted you to be with me, but I don't want you to carry the burden of my misery. Perhaps this is my fate, to continue admiring your untainted soul and a pure heart from afar, without being able to tell you my innermost feelings." Cale's nostalgic gaze, forlorn voice and the immortal air around him made him look like a celestial being who had lived an infinite life of solitude.

Later that night, in a faraway hill, several silhouettes in camouflage attires were waiting patiently like statues.

"I don't believe she will stay in that tower forever. Just wait patiently, and the moment she goes out of the tower, that's when you will move." A blonde middle-aged man with a ripped physique removed the night vision telescope from his eyes and gave it to one of the men beside him.

"Boss, Sima Ying is out of the tower with her brother Sima Fenglun. Your orders?" A camouflaged man asked with the telescope still in his eyes. 

"Wait for them to head out, and when they are already far from the tower, get them!" The blonde middle-aged man's face was full of hatred as if he wanted to rip Sima Ying into pieces.

Inside a fancy car, Sima Ying and Sima Fenglun were talking excitedly to each other.

"Sir Demetrio truly opened my eyes to the real form of martial arts. I thought my knowledge about it was already deep, but after his teachings, I learned how foolish I was." Sima Fenglun sighed as he shook his head.

"It's okay big brother. With the teachings from the top martial arts practitioner from the tower, your strength will continue to increase exponentially. You may even reach the King-Class level with their help." Sima Ying excitedly clenched her fist as she looks at her brother in admiration.

Sima Fenglun smiled at her and patted her head dotingly. The latter closed her eyes in delight and a sweet smile can be seen on her beautiful face.

The two were still talking eagerly when the car suddenly stopped moving. The brother and sister pair glanced at the C-Class level fighter they have hired from the Tyrannical Tower questioningly. But when they saw that their car was being surrounded by multiple cars, they finally realized the situation they were in.

"Young master, young miss, please hold on tight. The road might be quite bumpy." The C-Class fighter said seriously as he stepped on the pedal forcefully and ramming the car of the opposing party decisively.

"Shoot their tires! Move you fools!" An angry roar resounded inside one of the cars tailing the Sima siblings.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One of their car tires exploded.

"Screech!" 

"Young master, young miss, the moment I step out of the car, run without looking back. I'll stall for time." The C-Class fighter's eyes were determined as he pulled out an MP5 submachine gun on his side. 

"But..." Sima Fenglun tapped his sister's shoulder before she can continue speaking. She then saw her brother shook his head with a face full of seriousness. He similarly grabbed a handgun from the car's compartment and cocked it.

"Go!" The C-Class fighter stepped on the brake as he steered the steering wheel sideways before jumping out of the car. He aimed his MP5 on the approaching cars and pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Sima siblings did not waste time and hurriedly ran away without looking back. Sima Fenglun pulled his sister's hands as they ran with all their might. 

"Call Mr. Cale quick! Inform him about our current situation!" Sima Fenglun shouted nervously as he pulled his sister towards a forest nearby.

Sima Ying grabbed her phone and found to her dismay that there was no signal on their location.

"There is no signal!" Her voice was full of worry and fear as she glanced at her brother.

Sima Fenglun forced a calm look, but his sweating face and freezing hands can't be masked.

The pair continued running deep into the forest with haste.
