Chapter 322 Candidate John



Legolas accessed one of the pulsing gray mist balls.

"Your Excellency, the Hermit, please answer my prayers".

Through the gray world, Legolas\' vision was clearer than ever before. He could see the beautiful dark-haired lady kneeled, fervently praying towards him as she disclosed the information that she managed to get.

Despite the fact that this scene happened more than a few weeks ago, Legolas could still see everything in such a realistic manner like it was now.

Through his wider vision, Legolas was also able to see the Golden Retriever.

Sophia\'s beautiful voice flowed into his ears like a floating lullaby.

"Your Excellency, like you ordered, I have kept an eye on my brother".

"Through my father\'s connections, despite breaking all traces to us already after his real identity was exposed, I was still able to track him".

"I believe that he escaped into the wild alongside Black Master Einstein\'s entourage. Through the tracking measure that we employed to keep track of him, I am fairly confident that if used right, we may be able to track him down".

"I humbly await your orders and directions".

"Also, the remnants of the royal family are safe after the war of Hellfire Mountains, Core Protector Shanks already provided shelter for them".

With that, the connection was finally cut off.

Legolas rubbed his chin. "Since the war, I\'ve never really put much thought into it but Einstein and Din being on the loose is an important subject".

"I need to bring this up the next time I meet Core Protector Shanks".

Legolas did not neglect the other pulsing grey mist balls. After projecting his consciousness into them, he was able to hear the information that their recipients presented to him, they were mostly redundant information though.

After going through all the information, Legolas settled down on his throne. Instantly as his mind relaxed, his brain flashed back to what he saw.

The reality that the gray mist was probably inside a Spaceship shocked him to no end. \'Damn, but Lord of the Mysteries was not like this\'.

\'I thought Maximus got his inspiration from there, what the hell is this?\'

Like most people, Legolas was afraid of the unknown the most.

What he discovered today increased the mystery of the gray world to him. \'If the gray world is part of a Spaceship, what was Maximus\' motivation to make it? Did he just make it for fun and as a show of bravado?\'

Legolas rejected this immediately. \'Maximus may be funny at times but when it comes to his passion like a Special Developer Package, he\'ll never make fun with it, there\'s probably a deeper meaning and importance to this gray world\'.

The more he discovered, the more curious he became.

By now, Legolas already recognized that thinking too much about it was futile since he won\'t come closer to finding out the truth. \'The only way to know more about the gray world is to become stronger?\'

\'Maximus! You\'re so perverted man!\'

\'How stronger do I need to become to access it all?\'

It took some getting used to but Legolas finally managed to shake off the feeling that he was probably inside a Spaceship. Besides, he was already thinking of a lot of things that he could do with the Spaceship Cabin.

From the little that he saw, he had no doubts that this was a special cabin with modern facilities, the cabin alone could help him a lot in myriad ways.

Legolas put all these behind now though, this was because he had other things that occupied his mind. Legolas looked at the 2 new available grey mist balls that radiated a feeling like they were from another world.

Legolas rubbed his palms in anticipation, he adjusted his mood, then he finally did the thing as he extended his senses into the gray balls.

Bzzz!

"John, you lowlife hacker!"

"Because of you, the Planetary Guards are now coming after us!"

"We\'re done, my relationship with you is done!"

"But boss…"

"Don\'t boss me, you\'re now on your own!"

"But boss, I can\'t escape the Planet alone!"

"…" His boss ignored him as he charged away with a special box.

John stood petrified, his whole world seemed to turn dark instantly.

His long black hair that covered a large part of his face waved in the wind as he looked at the busy district in a daze. In no time, his boss was already out of his vision, having blended with the army of pedestrians.

"He abandoned me?" He quizzed himself.

"Hahaha…, he abandoned me?" John seemed to lose it.

"After everything that I did for him, after helping take down the Mercenary Space Cruiser, after taking on the hardest job of hacking into their database and scrambling all their chances of resistance, that lowlife scam abandoned me?"

"After playing the biggest role in stealing the energy reactor, that motherless f*cker abandoned me? Hahaha…!" This feeble looking human seemed to have lost it, he mocked and cursed his boss.

From the gray world, a certain human had an amazed look on his face. \'Wow, I can now see what is happening to my targets!\'

\'When I pulled in Altan and Sophia, I didn\'t see what was happening to them\'.

\'Also, that box, is that not a Battleship-grade energy reactor?\' Legolas\' eyes literally lit up with stars at that point.

His virtual interface suddenly lit up a notification.

"…"

Legolas was speechless, his eyes widened.

Whoosh!

Legolas turned his attention back.

Amid John\'s regrets, his attention was snapped back when he saw the dreaded Planetary Guards descending in their mechs. The formidable looking mechs spooked this hacker as they descended in a formation to box him in.

"This is the Planetary Guard Mech Unit".

"John, surrender…"

In a panic, this genius hacker didn\'t even listen to the words of the Planetary Guards as he turned around and charged into the army of pedestrians.

Seeing the Planetary Guard mechs, commotion entered the district as the pedestrians rushed for cover. Taking advantage of the chaos, John was able to run far but he could not escape since he was already locked on by the mech\'s sensors.

Through the satellite network, they were able to smoothly trace him.

After 10 minutes, he was cornered to a wall.

The street that he ran into was a dead-end, John faced despair.

"John Gates, place your hands above your head and wait to be restrained".

"Do not resist, you have 5 mech Rifles aimed at you at this moment".

"Kid, surrender peacefully, don\'t do what you\'ll regret".

John sighed; his shoulders slumped in defeat. Slowly, he turned and raised both his hands but it was in this process that he suddenly felt an outside influence.

"Do you want to live?"

"If you want, all you need is say yes".

Legolas originally thought of elaborate words that he could use, including pretentious catchphrases to increase his stature as the Almighty Hermit but in the end, he settled for simple. A lot of reasons necessitated his decision.

John felt goosebumps instantly on hearing this voice!

Instantly, a lot of thoughts filled this hacker\'s mind. \'Is it a Psychic? Is it one of those damn scam Psychics? Or is this a prank by the Planetary Guards?\'

\'No!\' He rejected all his previous thoughts.

\'This power I\'m feeling, it definitely cannot be fooled by a Psychic!\'

"John, stay put and wait to be restrained!"

Hearing this instantly pushed John over the edge. \'Afterall, I was already screwed over by boss, nothing worse can happen to me\'.

\'The worst is I\'ll feel embarrassed at being scammed\'.

\'Yes, I accept!" He yelled in his mind.

Bzzz!

Instantly, John was pulled away out of his reality.

This was not just his consciousness this time, John\'s body as a whole was pulled away. All the Planetary Guards were shocked as their mechs sent out alarms, they could not detect how this happened.

This was one of the latest abilities of the gray world.
