Chapter 321: Target: Varian

"Now, Telekinetic Path." Varian opened his eyes and used the last power.

Crack!

Crack!

His mental force squeezed the metal dummy from all sides and crushed it into a mess.

Honestly, it was a bit like crumpling a paper. The paper was just a bit hard.

Boo watched all this silence.

It decided not to think about its master's weirdness.

Who the fuck could have 5 Divine Paths?

Wait, it was actually 6!

'I wonder those geniuses...no, even Sovereigns will go mad if master's true capabilities are revealed.

And he's getting stronger and stronger. I wonder if he'll awaken in any other path.

Wait a minute.

If he has so many paths as level 9, he can even fight off Sovereigns.

Fuck!

My master is a genius!

Only I know this. Even the brightest minds of the federation don't.

That means, I'm the smartest. Hahaha.'

"And now, if I use them together." Varian's right hand glowed with lightning while his left hand distorted the space around him.

Crackle!

The level 6 dummy shook severely as the space around it blasted and lightning bolts struck it.

"Phew...it's still a bit short, huh." He squinted his eyes.

There were burns, small holes on the dummy, but it was mostly fine.

"If two can't do, then three." Varian grinned and added his telekinetic force.

Pressing the low level 6 metal dummy, he struck it with lightning dragons.

Then he concentrated all his three powers onto the head of the dummy.

Mental power crushed it, lightning struck it and space around it blasted.

Pa! Ka! Kacha!

The metal creaking got louder and louder before it stopped with a bang.

Watching the result of his attack, Varian's lips curled up.

The dummy's head was gone.

Using his level 5 powers, he could now fight low level 6.

What's more...

These powers would soon advance to level 6.

'If have 6 low level 6, I wonder if I can fight off peak level 6 or at least high level 6.'

As Varian was about to practice more, Richard suddenly called out.

'Master, Eric wants to meet you. He's in the banquet hall. He says he got something important to tell you.'

"Oh!" Varian was surprised. Eric was the second year supervisor. He was the guy who asked him to accumulate merit points if he wanted to find about Sia.

"Could it be..."

Varian had a bad premonition and quickly entered the banquet hall.

Only half of the members were present.

He found Eric in a corner and approached him.

Before he could even open his mouth, Eric said. "I have a bad news. There is no one called Sia. I'm sorry that your merit points are wasted."

"..."

Varian facepalmed internally.

This man...can't you just say it in private or something?

Varian didn't even need a brain to know people were spying on their conversation.

Now, the name of Sia would also spread like wildfire.

'Are you dumb or are you dumb?' He wanted to ask Eric, but before he could, Boo's voice sounded in his mind.

'Master, Bali is leaving for the spaceport.'

"Thanks for the information. You really have a good social sense." Varian said sarcastically and walked out of the banquet.

Eric frowned at Varian's attitude and looking around, he realized someone was spying on their conversation.

"Fuck!"

Varian informed Richard he'll sight see some space stations around the space city and left to the spaceport.

After renting a space shuttle, he flew out of the city and into the space. Boo hacked into the space shuttle's AI and controlled it.

A few minutes later, Bali entered the spaceport.

'I don't know how long this conversation with him will take. If someone wants to meet me and find that I'm missing, it'll be a mess.

It's better to pretend like I'm seeing the space stations. This space shuttle will keep traveling while I will take ghost ship and meet Bali.'

Varian waited.

At the same time, he thought of Eric's words carefully.

'Sia was surely in the defense academy. Even Roxanna mentioned it. That means even Eric's memory was overwritten.

Sia was level 4 in first semester. It was no small achievement.

But even Tutor Seth never mentioned Sia when talking about the geniuses.

Even his memory was overwritten.

He's a level 8...

In fact, if any level 8 in the campus finds something is off, things will blow up.

If Roxanna was really serious about it, then even level 9s weren't spared.

There's only one person who could do this.' Varian's breath halted as he clenched his fists.

'Sovereign Kreo Bell.' The Sovereign in Psychic path.

*** *** ***

At the same time, some people in the banquet hall tapped their comms and sent Eric's words to their respective powers.

Far away on mars, an old man was sitting in a garden.

Cling!

His comm rang and Sovereign Kreo checked his comm.

"But I made sure to eliminate his memory completely...just how is this possible?"

Ting!

He received a call from Julius.

"Sovereign Julius, you're calling for that matter?" He said lightly.

"Didn't you say you erased everyone's memories?" Julius' said with a frown.

"Yes. Even though it was a lot of people, I cleanly erased memories of everyone that could cause trouble. This boy V-Varian was included."

"Then how does he?"

"I don't know." Kreo Bell shrugged and his expression turned grim. "But what I do know is that if he knows the whole truth, you and I will be on his kill list.

I wouldn't care if it's anyone else, but this guy, he's a peak level 5 in 1st year."

Julius snorted. "I can crush him, but I just don't want extra trouble. End him."

Kreo tapped his chair. "What about Enigma? If you do this, she threatened to kill every Xander.

She was weak back then, but now, except for level 9s, she can kill everyone. And I think she'll hit level 9 soon."

Julius stayed silent for a moment before he said in an icy tone. "Evander hid some things...when my people captured Sia, they also investigated her relatives. This is the information a year ago.

Back then, Varian wasn't an awakener."

"Whaat?!" The old man Kreo stood up in shock. "But my investigations said he was secretly nurtured by Evander since childhood."

"A lie." Julius snorted. "I forgot Varian was Sia's relative, but when the message came, I checked her files. If not for that, I'd still be in the dark."

Kreo fell silent as he gulped.

"One year...peak level 5." His eyes slowly turned cold. "I want to capture and study him..."

"But his corpse will do just fine." Julius cut him off. "I don't want to repeat the mistake that we did with Sia."

"Fine." Kreo Bell muttered begrudgingly. "Killing him in the city under so many level 9s is hard. I'll take care of him once he's out."

"But..." he paused once again. "Are you sure about Enigma?"

"Yes." Julius said as a matter of fact. "I don't want such a talented enemy to be alive. Even if it costs me some Xander lives, I'm sure they'd willing."

"..." Kreo Bell fell silent. Julius was more cold-hearted than he thought. "Fine. I'll take care of it."

After hanging up the call, he contacted a grey contact and said. "Assassination.. Target: Varian."
