Kael unleashed a deadly barrage of fireballs with only the swinging motion of his palm, each fireball faster than the previous. In fact, it was even faster than Maxwell had expected, which caused him to slightly widen his eyes and almost get hit, though, he managed to just barely dodge.
"You have gotten stronger," Maxwell said with a serious face, he wasn't impressed, he was simply stating the facts. "Not by much but it's a start."
"Not by much? Are you kidding me?" Kael said with a serious, slightly angry expression. "You barely dodged my attacks, heck, I'd say you got lucky."
"Lucky?" Maxwell said, sharpening his eyes. "There is no luck in fighting," He said, finally using his ability for the first time, his body partially turning into lightning itself, causing him to travel at the speed of sound, appearing behind Kael instantly.
"Did you know? Traveling at the speed of sound is faster than teleporting." Maxwell said, launching him into the bushes with one punch.
"What...? When did I get launched?!" Kael thought, his face full of shock. "How fast is he?!"
Before Kael could retaliate or even think further, Maxwell appeared in front of Kael, almost as if he had teleported, and grabbed him by the collar, slamming him into the ground within a millisecond. However, Kael had now grabbed Maxwell's arm, making it hard for him to escape.
"You ain't goin' anywhere," Kael said, grabbing his head and lighting it on fire, causing his skin to burn rapidly.
Maxwell stepped on Kael's face several times so that he would let go but surprisingly, Kael wasn't letting go. "I am going to make sure I melt your fucking face," Kael said with a smirk, laughing like a maniac.

It had been several hours since Caspian had mysteriously left and hadn't come back, which made Rose slightly worry. In fact, everyone in the mansion was quite anxious as Caspian was always by Rose's side and never left for more than a hour.
And even if he leaves, he always tells Rose the time that he'll come back and why is he leaving the mansion. And now that, Caspian hadn't arrived for several hours, Rose decided to go to her father, the CEO.
"Dad...I think something is wrong..." Rose said, anxiously.
"What is it, sweetheart?" The dad asked, who was casually eating a five-star steak on his desk, elegantly eating.
"Caspian is nowhere to be seen!" Rose said. "It's been several hours."
"And? He probably has some important business to attend to," The CEO said, not thinking much of it.
"Without telling me?" Rose said in a slightly loud voice. "No, dad. Something is seriously wrong. This isn't like him."
The dad sighed, "Fine, I'll tell Lucius to look into it,"
"...alright," Rose said, leaving the room and shutting the door.

An old lady was having slight trouble crossing the road and someone helped her, whose name was Whiskey James. "Havin' struggle there? Lemme help you, eh?" He said, helping her cross the road. However, as soon as the both of them went to the other side and when the lady was about to thank him, Whiskey James snatched her purse and started running. "See ya, later, ma'am!" He said, running and waving at the same time.
Fortunately, Ronx, Alex and Zombie had seen everything.
Alex appeared in front of Whiskey James and slashed him, taking the purse and capturing him. "Thank you!" The old lady said, who then soon left.
Alex then turned to Whiskey James with a cold expression. "About time," He said, grabbing Whiskey's collar.
Whiskey James flinched, started to sweat nervously. "U-Um....Let's...uhm....calm down!"
Alex took out his sword but before he could attack him, Alex felt a sharp wave of pain coming from his gut and upon further look, he noticed blood leaking and a sharp knife in his body which Whiskey James was holding. "Buenas noches, Mr. Alex," Whiskey said with a creepy smile, who immediately backflipped and landed a couple of meters away. "I am quite good at acting, you see."
"I see," Alex said, appearing behind him and slashing at the same time. "No matter how good you act, skill will always decide the fight."
"I agree," Whiskey James said with a grin, who turned around extremely fast and landed a flying kick, launching Alex into a truck.
"For someone who looks homeless, he got some moves," Ronx said, who was unusually calm and simply enjoying the fight. While, Zombie simply watch with a blank expression, lighting up a cigarette.
"When did you start smoking?" Ronx asked, slightly confused as he didn't thought Zombie was the type to smoke.
"After someone close died," Zombie replied, continuing smoking. "I wonder what she liked so much about it," he thought.
On the other hand, Alex got out of the truck by cutting it into a thousand or more pieces, which he did in a matter of seconds. And as soon as Whiskey blinked and he opened his eyes, he saw Alex's sword in his stomach and Alex right in front of him. "How...fast," Whiskey James said, vomiting blood and dropping to the ground right there. "How...exciting. How amusing! Once...I die...your life won't be the same! Haha! Buenas noches."
In the next moment, the color in his eyes faded and his skin turned cold. "Let's leave him in a ditch or something," Alex said, cleaning his sword and completely ignoring his words.
