Enemy

On other side, Aeon and his friend did not know that many had already reached their university and died there. "We cannot go back to the university; they might be already waiting for them," Luke said.

"So where should we go?" Ethan asked Luke.

"Let's go towards the sea". My cousin had a small beach house there; we can stay there and try to contact the main headquarters of the union". Then he input the location in the car's GPS, and they changed their route towards the sea.

They were moving quickly towards the beach house, where different people were trying to find him.

A person standing near a glass window holding a cell phone "Check all cameras near the Union branch and find where they are going," and he hangs up.

"Oh, even you are taking part in it if those oldies know they will not be happy," a young man with a handsome face and white hair sitting on the sofa said with a smile.

"He first appeared in my territory, so I should be the one to get that kid."

"Oh! Let's see if you can get that kid," the handsome man said with a smile, and after that, they started to drink.

An hour later, Aeon and both of his friends arrived at the beach house. When he looked at the house, he was surprised. Truthfully, the beach house was not small at all. It may have been small for the rich, but for him, it was five or six times bigger than his house.

"Let's stay here for a few hours," Luke said, and both Ethan and Aeon nodded.

"Go and log in and connect to the central brain with your transcendent ID; because of your A-rank talent as a civilian, you would have higher access permission, and your help request will be directly sent to one of the Ten Directors," Luke said as he quickly urged Aeon.

Aeon also nodded his head, quickly opened the laptop, and connected to the 'central brain', which actually is an AI with independent thinking ability and has the highest authority, second only to the thirteen elders and the president of the federation.

He immediately sent a help request. "Now we just need to wait," Luke said.

But as Aeon and his friends were waiting for their help, a few kilometres away, ten people were moving towards the beach house at inhumane speed, and one of them could not help but laugh," Haha, lucky, we were actually close to this place."

Another member, one with multiple knives, said, "Indeed, according to information, those brats seem to have moved towards the seaside and moved in this direction, and there seems to be a small beach house here that seemed to belong to one of the friend relatives that came to the union branch with that A-Rank brat."

"Yes, those brats are definitely in that beach house. A burly man with the most impressive aura among them said it with a confident smile.

And, then a smile formed on everyone's face, and they seemed to feel more enthusiastic and began to move even faster in the direction of the beach house.

Inside the room, Aeon was sitting, closing his eyes, when he felt something and suddenly opened his eyes, "Someone is here." 

He quickly went outside the room and said, "Ethan, Luke, get ready; someone is outside, no! There is more than one," he said with a serious look on his face, and after hearing this, both Luke and Ethan's expressions changed.

"Maybe you felt wrong; I do not feel anything," Ethan said as he did not feel anything.

"No, there are many—almost ten," Aeon said, as he was sure about it. Seeing this, Luke said, " That might be true since Aeon felt it; A-Rank talent is not something we can understand," as he looked at Ethan.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's run away and leave this place", Ethan said as he quickly took his car keys and was about to go to the back door, but at that instant, Aeon said, "They already surrounded the house; we cannot leave." 

Ethan and Luke both panicked hearing that; although they have mana and are stronger than ordinary humans, but that's it, nothing more. Maybe they can handle a few thugs, but the people who are coming after Aeon will definitely not be weak thugs, and even after taking Aeon, they will definitely not leave them alive.

But Aeon, the main reason those transcendents came, was not panicked; instead, he remained calm, which was a massive change that Aeon himself didn't notice.

Aeon felt the moment and moved towards the backside of the house, where he saw two people standing. " He looked at them and felt "These two have more mana than me, but for some reason, he did not feel that strong".

Logically, they should be veterans, but his instinct tells him that among the ten that surrounded the house, only one gives him a dangerous feeling while the rest feels weak.

If these nine people hear what Aeon thinks about them, they absolutely, will feel mad, a lad who just awakened a week before thinking they are weak.

Seeing Aeon come outside, those two looked at him and laughed, "Hey! Isn't this the kid we were looking for?

Other members also nodded, saying, "That's right, we really hit a jackpot. Now, lad, obediently come with us otherwise", As he was laughing and talking with his guard down, suddenly, in a fraction of a second, Aeon stepped forward and appeared in front of him. The movement speed of Aeon was so fast that he did not react at all, and then a fist fell on his chest.

Baam! A crackling and bone-crushing sound can be heard as he is sent flying by the punch.

"You should never let your guard down when facing an enemy, right?" As he looked at the other transcendent, who was so shocked that he could not believe his eyes, he cursed, "F**K!".
