The Black Market Chapter 49 - Emperor-Class

"What does a secret agent from the CIA need from me Mr. Hudson?" Wolf King asked the blonde man as if they were best buddies.

Martin Hudson was surprised about Wolf King's knowledge regarding his true identity, because getting classified informations from CIA was as hard as climbing the gates of hell.

And even in the agency, he was not called by his real name, but by his codename. His codename in the agency was...

"Knight, or should I call you Martin Hudson? Lives in Holly Cove St Franklin, V.i.r.g.i.nia. Passed first in the Applicant Physical Abilities Exam with his superb physical abilities. Your wife, Mary, died after giving birth to your third child. And you are also a father of three pretty children, namely Linda, Nancy and Stacey, such pretty little girls I say." Wolf King's gaze was soft and full of adoration, but Martin felt the hidden message from Wolf King's words.

He was obviously threatening him!

"You... You... how did you know all that?" Martin sighed and a look of defeat and exhaustion can be seen on his face.

Wolf King merely smiled at him and waited for the man to talk.

Martin shook his head after producing another heavy sigh. He knew that the man was just waiting for him to speak.

"We heard about an advanced Artificial Intelligence installed inside your tower and... and the higher ups were thinking that you might be hiding something else that could threaten the balance of the world." Martin spoke calmly while studying his surroundings with his peripheral vision. 

"You don't need to look elsewhere Mr. Hudson. You have no hopes of escaping here. Now tell me, if you guys were only interested with our Artificial Intelligence, why do you have to ambush my men in Comoros as well?" Wolf King was still smiling brightly at Martin with his one leg on top of the other. His casualness was like he was merely talking with a good friend, but his beautiful silver eyes looked cold from Martin's point of view.

"I... We... We wanted to get an evidence against Shannon as well, because his name was included on the list of people that needs to be monitored closely. We also got information that he will do a trade in Comoros, thus the agency sent us to ambush you and get the evidence." Martin answered honestly. He was obviously afraid that Wolf King would kill his daughters. Even if they were closely guarded by the agency, he still did not feel safe and thought that it wasn't enough, especially after confronting with Santharus in Comoros.

'This man will turn the world's balance of powers upside down. It was wrong to provoke him.' He thought in regret. He could have declined the mission, but he could not do so after hearing the tempting offer that the agency promised him.

"You killed one of my men and injured one severely. I commend your strength and I would have recruited you if not for your background." Wolf King shook his head with a regretful look.

"Slash!"

A slashing sound can be heard as Wolf King moved his right hand at an inconceivable speed. 

Martin saw his vision turned upside down and he can still see the bright smile from Wolf King's lips.

"Thud!"

A dull and heavy sound of something dropping on the floor sounded. Martin who was slowly losing his vision saw the most horrifying thing in his life. His own body, which no longer had a head attached to it, with blood continuously spraying endlessly like a fountain of water.

Wolf King glanced at the decapitated head on the ground emotionlessly. The expression on Martin's face was one of extreme horror. He was still able to produce a small stream of bloodied tears, before the light on his eyes was gone.

The smile on Wolf King's face was gone and was replaced by a cold look. "Whoever dares to kill my people deserves a painful death."

A huge shadow then approached the dead body of Martin as he unchained it, before putting his dead body inside a bag together with his decapitated head.

'Do you really think that I have forgotten you dogs from the CIA? You who had betrayed the Earth Alliance and caused the death of more than several hundred million people?!' Wolf King stood up in anger and punched the metall wall behind him. He took his bleeding fist back and a huge dent on the thick metal wall can be seen, but his expression never changed as if it was something insignificant.

Five years after the unending battle with the demi humans. The main headquarters of the CIA was infiltrated by the elite troops of the demi humans.

And to save their skin, they surrendered to the demi humans and told them the location of one of Earth Alliance's main bases to get the demi humans' trust.

After having known the location of Earth Alliance's third main base, the demi humans attacked with their main army and they even sent one of their S-Class robots, the Extinguisher.

The third base which was housing more than several hundred million humans was attacked.

With the surprised assault from the demi humans, the third base was caught unprepared causing more than ninety percent of its inhabitants to die a painful death.

Oceans of human blood flowed during that time, striking fear on the humans living on the other bases.

They felt unsafe and fearful that their bases might one day suffer the same fate as the third base.

Cale removed his wolf mask slowly, and his long silver hair turned as dark as the night. His eyes which reverted back to its original onyx color flashed a trace of profound hatred.

The air around him was converging little by little and the sound of blowing wind traveled around the dark room ceaselessly.

Brogen who was standing behind him felt the rising amount of origin essence and even him who was at peak of King-Class level felt a suffocating kind of pressure. 'He broke through the Emperor-Class!?'
