The Ancient Genes

"You remember that girl who kicked you yesterday?"

Hearing her question, the image of a black-haired beauty entered his eyes and he nodded at her.

She gritted her teeth before she spoke further.

"Today, she was kidnapped and I wasn\'t able to do anything, instead I was saved while she was taken away." Her eyes became wet. But she managed to restrain them.

…

Elly didn\'t know why she was even speaking to that strange guy. But for some reason, a sense of familiarity made her want to trust him.

"If they managed to do something like that, doesn\'t that mean that they are strong? Do you think you can rescue your friend alone? Besides, do you have any idea where to look for her?"

Max\'s commanding voice forced her to think about her actions.

\'But I can\'t sit without doing anything. At least, I need to try. If I don\'t, how could I even face Lisa?\'

Stealing her resolve, she replied to him with determination.

"I won\'t get into any trouble. I will just look for their trail. If I find it, I will immediately seek help. I am not a fool. So, you should stay out of my way and keep your mouth shut."

As she spoke, she let out her aura. she needed to scare that guy away. she had no idea how strong he was. she couldn\'t sense his power level. But the way he kept calm, he must not be that bad.

…

\'Damn it!\'

As the terrifying pressure descended, Max felt his legs sink in the ground. But he maintained his stance with a smile even though his back was drenched in sweat.

"Fine, you can go," Max said in a calm manner.

With that, the aura slowly seeps back into her body and she turns around towards the wall.

\'Chance!\'

As her back appeared into his sight, he moved without hesitation while pulling his dagger out.

\'Sorry Miss. But, don\'t blame me. I know very well how easy it is to get into trouble.\'

Sensing him approaching, she slowly turned around. But that was too late. If that was a real battle, her death was set the moment she let her guard down.

Before she could fully turn, Max was already on her back. Without giving her any chance, he turned his dagger and, using its hilt, he brought down a heavy chop on her head.

\'Bang!\'

\'Ah!\'

She lets out a loud groan of pain before she passes out.

\'Shit!\'

\'Did I hit too hard?\'

He put his fingers below her nose to check her breathing.

"Huff."

Feeling her breathe, he let out a sigh.

He didn\'t do anything wrong. If she couldn\'t deal with a thing like that, how can she even think about trailing those guys?

Besides, that could be counted as his apology for the earlier two incidents.

"I heard a scream, let\'s check that place."

"Yeah, I heard it too."

Hearing the voices, Max gave her a last look before leaving with a sentence.

"I will save her."

...

As He walked back towards his dorms, some thoughts kept revolving in his mind.

So that girl got kidnapped too.

He didn\'t know if she even needed to be rescued. With her temper, they may send her back themselves.

\'All right, jokes aside.\'

\'What do I do?\'

He had leads, but that has become too big for him to handle.

Even though he just said all that to the blonde girl, he can\'t pull himself back because of that system, then that he had accepted the quest.

\'Beep!\'

\'Beep!\'

Hearing the alert, he looked in the air. But failing to find any notification. He asked the system.

\'Have you finally gone insane?\'

«Reporting to Host, It is the Host\'s inability to remember that Host has turned the alert off »

«Suggestion : • Check your phone

• Increase your Intelligence.»

Tsk!

\'I will really expend any amount of FP to get your attitude changed.\'

«Checking for Host\'s request....»

Seeing the notification window, happiness swelled out from the bottom of his heart, only to be crushed with another notification.

«Request Denied»

His brows twitched, He controlled himself from letting out curses.

Tsk.

Closing all the notification windows, He took out his phone.

As He read the message, a smile formed on his face.
