Chapter 68

''See Master, it moves! Although it can't speak and has no intelligence right now I can produce it to fulfil basic requests when it is stronger!''

Samuel saw A5s happy face and decided to leave her alone to continue to work. A5 estimated that it would take five or six more days for her to create a puppet that can actually move freely.

This is steady progress. Although it would take months to make a puppet that can actually fulfil basic tasks.

After leaving with satisfaction Samuel spent the rest of the week enjoying life within the safety of his compound. And Saturday rolled around, the day of the party.

Today Samuel was standing in the basement of the Headquarters dressed in an expensive suit. His handsome face was even more impactful with the smell of wealth around his body.

Behind Samuel, EG1 and a random Dog of War Maid stood behind Samuel. These were his accompanying guests to today's party.

The 17 other guards were also planning on accompanying Samuel. Although they are relatively young looking, due to their large stature as Warriors they would fit in just like Adults.

So they dressed as Drivers and butlers and stayed in the large stretch limo that Samuel prepared.

Soon they set out. This party had drawn a lot of attention, especially from mortals and even other warrior organisations.

Samuel looked at the towering hotel that was booked and then backed down at the swarms of people flooding in and was slightly stunned. There were easily tens of thousands of people!

Samuel stepped out under the escort of EG1 and headed into the hotel. The luxury within was unimaginable.

Gold seemed to be the prevailing colour here, with golden chandeliers dangling from the roof, golden chairs with red satin pillows placed above them, golden tables with silk coverings.

It was the definition of wealth for these mortals. However Samuel didn't stop here, this was just the floor for the outer circle in the city. He headed up to the second floor.

This floor took a calmer approach for decorations, with large columns of marble, and hard wood tables with exquisite carvings on them. This was the main floor of the party.

If the first floor had thousands of people filtering in and out, this one barely broke five hundred.

Samuel looked around and saw many familiar figures, many of which were ex-classmates but somewhere familiar for a different reason.

His dogs of War had fought alongside them! That's right, 7 years ago in the deciding battle with the Eleflares and even before that, his Dogs of War had fought with many of the visitors here.

Naturally this means that they are warriors! Samuel counted 20 Warriors among the crowd he can see right now! Although most are Low Rank 1 Warriors, Samuel saw 2 Middle Rank 1 Warriors!

However he also noticed that each Middle Rank 1 Warrior had a young boy next to them. Each boy was 20-30 years old but Samuel detected the aura of a Warrior from them.

And quickly his eyes scanned around the room, he noticed every family that arrived and every warrior actually had young men with them!

Then he realised why. They wanted to marry Sabrina.

Just as Samuel was concentrating he felt a voice from behind him.

''Hey Samuel you made it! It's nice to see you after all these years.'' Samuel turned around to see the origin of this voice.

Unsurprisingly it was Michael. Michael looked pretty similar to how Samuel remembered him, an ordinary face that wouldn't stand out in a crowd, brown hair and brown eyes with a slightly rounded face.

His body was lean but not muscular and he showed no threatening side to his body.

Samuel noticed an imperceptible glimpse of confidence in his eyes, however it was quickly covered up.

''Hey Michael, it's been a long time. How are you?'' Samuel politely began engaging in conversation with Michael.

But unbeknownst to Samuel, Michaels eyes were focusing elsewhere. His eyes were focused on the many rich and influential people surrounding him.

Samuels original guess was right, Michael is a Son of Luck. And his Gold Finger? Soul Swallowing.

Every living creature has a soul in some form of the other, the stronger the soul the stronger the person. This is for warriors and Mortals!

Warriors can use their souls to produce spells when they are Rank 2 Warriors, or they can heighten their senses and increase the strength of their Spiritual Energy when they are Rank 1 Warriors.

But for Mortals it also has an effect. The stronger the soul the better the decision making and generally the smarter they are.

Many talented Doctors or Businessmen have stronger souls. Their better decision making makes it much easier to earn money.

But Michael is able to steal the soul from people and use it to strengthen his own soul! Originally Michael felt that this ability was useless, after all this can't let him become a warrior.

However he quickly learnt that he was wrong. He realized that when his Soul is strong enough, he can form a Spiritual Root Purely out of Soul Energy!

And this Spiritual Root Can grow with the help of the Soul Power.

However Michael only awakened this power two years ago, and in line with typical Protagonist behaviour he only targeted people he considered bad.

So he hunted Gangsters, Murderers, Predators. Of course this is beneficial to the streets of FieldView City, however many of these people have weaker souls which led to their current situation.

Which means Michael has been unable to develop his Spiritual Root made out of Soul Power.

However today Michael realised something, he could target businessmen with a clear conscience.

What Businessmen in this ruthless world haven't gotten their hands dirty while they were rising to the top? Even if they haven't killed people they have definitely ruined people's lives.

So Michael set his target as these businessmen, he wanted to steal their stronger souls and develop a Spiritual Root. His eyes glowed when he thought of becoming a Warrior.

As for who caused the burning passion behind this? She just walked into the room.
