The Black Market Chapter 68 - Eilhard's Shock

At the entrance of the Tower, two tall and hulking men wearing black tuxedo stood like unmoving mountains. They gave off a strong and suffocating presence, but only people who practices martial arts can discern their aura. 

Eilhard glanced warily at the men as he walked carefully towards the entrance of the tower. 'Their door guards are already this strong?! Those guys are most likely Class level fighters who are about to break through to the S-Class level. But something about them seems dangerous. It feels like they are stronger than most S-Class fighters. Strange...' Eilhard was confused about his discovery regarding the entrance guards of the Tower. It was because they were both at Class level in martial arts, but their gun wielding and weapon wielding capabilities were way higher than most S-Class level fighters. 

Zero smirked after seeing the changing expressions of Eilhard. 'This is merely the start kid. How dare you doubt me Zero, the strongest mercenary of Gallantos, even Brogen the Barbarian does not dare do so.'

The both of them walked towards the arena inside the Tower and Eilhard saw several men in black tuxedo giving off an aura which are not weaker than the guys at the entrance. That means they are also at Class level at the very least! He even saw some with stronger aura and he knew that they were definitely S-Class level martial arts practitioner. 'How the hell did this Tower invite so many strong fighters to become their guards?! And all of them are not weaker than Class level. Even the strongest gangs and syndicates in Germany had to be respectful when talking with these level of fighters! But here they are in this Tower, as common as wild grass and to think they are merely guards here! Just who is the owner of this Tower to be capable enough to recruit these strong fighters?!' Eilhard suddenly forgot his doubts on Zero and just continued curiously glancing from left to right.

'Kid, this is only the tip of the iceberg! Once we go inside the arena, you will realize your puny existence.' Zero laughed manically inside his heart as he glanced at the curious-looking Eilhard with a mocking smile.

He then told the two men guarding the entrance of the arena to open the door for them.

When the two huge doors were opened, Zero and Eilhard heard loud shouting from time to time.

"Haaa!! Haaa!! Haaa!!"

"Haaa!! Haaa!! Haaa!!"

In front of them were more than a hundred men and women wearing the white disciple clothes of the Tower. They were grunting and shouting as they punched and kick rhythmically. In front of them were three men with profound auras, especially the aggressive-looking man at the center. He was shouting orders towards the disciples like a wild lion roaring at its pack.

"This... They are?" Eilhard curiously pointed at the men and women wearing white clothes, his eyes was filled with longing. He knew that they were most likely students or disciples of this Tower after he felt their strengths. Most of them were young fighters who are close to becoming an E-Class level. But he also felt several strong auras from the others. He even saw an Class fighter following the movements of the rest without voicing out any complaints. 

Zero walked forward and put his hands behind his back. He then flashed a light smile as he watched the disciples on the arena. "They are the disciples of our Tower and those three experts are some of the instructors inside this Tower. Do you know how strong those guys are?" He glanced at Eilhard while putting on a mysterious look. The latter grew curious and he could not help but ask Zero. "How strong are they Mr. Zero?" His voice carried a hint of excitement and expectation as he waited for Zero's reply.

The latter smiled in response and turned his head back on the arena again. "Although those three are bit weaker than me, they are at least at the peak stage of King-Class level." 

The answer made Eilhard shocked, and he also felt a bit fearful. He did not doubt Zero's words anymore after seeing the strength of the Tower. 'F.u.c.k! I have been looking down on a King-Class level fighter all this time. And I even kept on questioning his words.' Eilhard's body felt cold as he flashed a forced smile towards Zero. His hair stood on end after seeing the latter's bright smile. 

Inside the Gravity Training Room.

"F.u.c.k! I still can't last long with ten times the gravity! Lower down the gravity by five times than normal!" Cale shouted weakly as he laid on the ground with his limbs stretched out forming an 'X' shape.

- Ding!

- Gravity lowered down to x5!

Cale breathe a sigh of relief after he felt the gravity inside weaken by a lot. 

"Much better! Give me glass of Heavenly Spring Water please." Cale spoke as he sat up. The moment the words left his mouth, a glass of crystal clear water hovered in midair. Cale smiled and hurriedly caught the the glass of water and gulped it down like a thirsty camel ravenously drinking riverwater in a dried up desert.

"Hooo! Still the best drink in the whole world! Hey, do you have something better than this?" Cale asked as if there was someone who would answer his question.

- Ding!

- Request denied!

- Authority Level below required!

"Oh! So there are still drinks much better than this? What Authority Level do I need to access the next drink?"

- Ding!

- Authority Level must be at least S-Class level!

"Two more upgrades eh? I need more treasures then, but I have no one else I can trust or buy. That Shannon cannot be trusted anymore. His mouth cannot be sealed even with the deterrence of power. I just hope he won't tell anyone from the CIA about my weapons or he will die a terrible death!" Cale spoke with eyes burning like the raging hell flames.

He then stood up and proceeded back to his training. The aura he was emitting was getting stronger and stronger as time went by three times faster inside the Virtual Training Environment.
