Chapter 021

A black limo came to a halt at the huge majestic gates of a huge mansion.

"What are we doing in Three Kings villa? and Rising Krillin Mansion nothenless" Oscar gazed at the huge gates, from within the limo.

His eyes were filled with astonishment as his breathings went ragged.

This was a mansion worth one billion dollars.

"This.. This is where I stay" Goldie bit her lower lips akwardly.

"Friggin' Geez! although I always suspected you to be loaded.. but this?" Oscar's eyes flashed with cunningness.

If he could strike up a relationship with such a rich kid, he would be set for life!

Oh! Wait, he already had the system.

"But why are you showing me your home? don't tell me you are about to introduce me to your parents? although I like you, I am not ready to settle down!" Oscar pleaded shamelessly.

"Ah.." a red blush painted Goldie's cheeks.

"W-What are you saying? it's.. it's not like that!"

Seeing how flustered Goldie became, Oscar quit teasing her.

"Just joking. But really, why did you bring me to your place"

"My.. My dad wants to see you" Goldie's face went back to normal.

The limo drove into the large compound unimpeded.

"Welcome home young miss!" the ten plus security men patrolling the compound saluted.

"Hm?" gazing at them, Oscar could sense a powerful vitality emanating from them.

"They're not simple!" he mumbled to himself.

After the limo parked at the garage, Butler Hawkins hurried over.

"Welcome home young miss!" he bowed respectfully to Goldie before adressing Oscar.

"This young lad looks familiar.."

"Oh, he's Oscar, little Scar as you fondly used to call him in the past" Goldie replied with a warm smile.

"I remember now, little Scar is all grown up now!" Butler Hawkin's eyes flashed with reminiscence.

Hearing the contents of the duo conversation, Oscar frowned.

Little Scar?

However before he could voice his suspicions, Butler Hawkins cleared his throat.

"The master is waiting in the garden"

Under Butler Hawkins lead, Oscar arrived at the garden.

The whole atmosphere gave out a strange vibe that seemed to miraculously calm down Oscar's nerves. He could even sense tiny strands of energy pouring into his bother, causing the mana cultivation bar to advance a bit.

Although it wasn't much, barely a fraction, but Oscar sensed it.

"What happened?" he voiced his curiosity to Hunks, the system's A.I.

-[This place is concentrated with world energy. Although it isn't much, it is enough for someone of your level]

"Hmm"

Oscar cut communication with Hunks when he heard the croaky sound of a throat clearing.

That was when he noticed there was another party present.

Clad in a tank top and bermuda shorts, with a head full of white hair, frail arms that strangely throbbed with youthful energy.

This old foggie was Cindy's dad?!

"Master! the guest has arrived" Butler Hawkins announced.

"Leave us"

Nodding, Butler Hawkins dragged Golidie out of the garden.

Soon, it was only Oscar and Goldie's dad present. A tensed aura enveloped the garden.

"You don't recongnize me do you?" Goldie's dad finally spoke.

Seeing Oscar shake his head negatively caused him to sneer.

"Those bastards sure are careful"

"Respected Sir, do you perhaps know me from somewhere?" Oscar probed, choosing his words carefully.

He didn't know why, but the mysterious bearing emanating from Goldie's father gave him goosebumps.

"It was years ago. At that time, I went by the name Tyrant Mohawk, partly due to my Mohawk hair cut"

"But at that time, I was a feared gang leader. A tyrant running amok. Both citizens and politicians trembled at the mention of my name. But one day, one of my subordinates offended somebody they shouldn't have"

"Like a dream, I Watched all what I built through my sweat and hard effort crumble to dust. I lost everything and was about to be taken in by the authorities"

"But then, he appeared.." Mr. Martin's eyes flashf with various emotions.

Grief

Reminiscence

Sorrow..

"Who came?"

"He was the most oustanding man I have ever met. He was only in his early twenties, but yet I felt like he was a Supreme deity. He took care of my adversary and extended an olive branch to me. I became one of his most loyal men"

"Under my very eyes, he built an empire. Nobody dared disrespect him in the underworld and he alone controlled 90% of the world's economy"

"But, being too outstanding was not necessarily a good thing. The World government feared that he would grow too powerful and usurp them from their position. And so, they came into an alliance with other powerful families and forces"

"That day, the whole world knew what chaos was. A multiude facing off against a single man. Although the results of the battle remains unclear, many from the opposing side returned with great injuries. There was a major wipe out in power balance and new forces replaced the old. Even the World Government suffered a major loss. However, that man never returned"

"Neither did those who fought with him return back with his dead body. Afraid that there would be a major comeback, the World government gave an order to kill that man's wife and three sons. All of them died, except for one who managed to escape, thanks to the intervention of die hard members of the White Peach Family: the force founded by that man"

Mr. Martins drew the helm of his tank top up, revealing a rotten palm print on his left rib.

"I Participated in that battle and suffered a serious strike. But I don't regret it because you managed to survive in the end"

"Me?" Oscar blurted in astonishment.

"Yes. You are the last child of that man and I swear to ensure your safety till you rise into power and take revenge on your fallen father"

However, Oscar just stared on like an idiot, since the revealation was just too much to digest all at once.

He was the son of the world's most powerful man as well as a bonafide Orphan.

But giving it some thoughts, things kind of added up.

He recalled that anytime he mentioned his father to his.. well, 'mum'.. She'd break down in tears.

He had even mistaken the situation that his father deserted them to shirk away from his responsibility, causing Oscar to develop a deep seethed resentment towards him.

But now that the truth was laid bare before him, Oscar felt immense remorse for misunderstanding.

"I heard from Goldie that you managed to awaken as a Deviant?" a warm smile tugged on Mr. Martins lips.

"Deviant?"

"Oh, I forgot that you don't know these things" Mr. Martins slapped his temple as if to reprimand himself.

"Who do you think rules the city, state and even countries around the world?"

"Isn't it the Politicians and those big wigs from powerful families?"

"Tsk. That is just surface knowledge. You see, money without the power to protect it is very useless. There exists a special kind of people known as the Deviants"

"They absorb world energy which they convert into martial energy, boosting their physical capabilities and granting heaven-defying abilities. They are many times stronger than normal humans and are mostly affiliated with powerful families and organisations"

"Deviants are rare and when one appears, the various powerful forces would bid amongst themselves to offer the juiciest offer and secure the newly discovered talent"

"The stronger the quality and quantity of Deviants a force has, the higher their status"
