Purple Lightning Emperor

Somewhere within the deepest part of the Black Mist forest, Shad stood on the summit of a mountain with a somewhat depressing look on his face as he stared at the surrounding area.

It's already been two hours since Shad made it to the top of the mountain and looking for that damn Pod left by Henry which was supposed to be around the area, but with no avail.

He used his strong spiritual force to scan every inch of the mountain, and he was still unable to find it. Aside from that, he even walked around the whole mountain, but still couldn't find it.

After two hours of looking and running around the mountain, Shad beginning thinks that maybe Henry had moved this pod at some time. According to the information he was able to gather after reading the first volume of the diary, the Pod was supposed to be around that area. All the descriptions and details were pointing in this place, yet he couldn't find a trace of it.

" Young master, it's already been more than 300 years since he left that thing here. Don't you think someone might have found it a long time ago and hide it from the public? Or Henry himself might have even moved it somewhere else to prevent it from falling into the wrong hand." Said Nina who was standing behind Shad with a pale expression on her face. She has been walking around and checking every inch of that huge mountain for two hours looking for the treasure with her young master. Even though she was a 5th rank warrior, she was still kinda tired, not to mention she was being chased by one of the members of the 12 Dragon pillars for hours before her young master saved her.

After Shad had used his spiritual force and was still unable to find the pod, he had decided to give Nina a vague description about what the treasure looked like. Even though he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, Shad had seen some Star-Trek and Star Wars movies back when he was on Earth, so he used them as a model to describe the escape pod to Nina so they could both look for it at the same time.

Nina was shocked when she heard Shad explained about what the treasure looked like even though he had never seen it before. He was also so sure that the treasure was there which surprised her. Nina began to think that maybe her young master was the same as his ancestor, someone that did not come from this world because not only he knew how the treasure looked like, he even knew his location.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was certain that her young master was indeed born from this land, she would have thought that he was from a different world just like her ancestor. However, after racking her bairn for a while, she concluded that maybe he had read the book left behind by her ancestor which was why he knew so much. Even that conclusion surprised her because no one except for her sister was able to read and speak that weird language. Nonetheless, she did not ask him about it because she felt like even if she did, he wouldn't tell her the truth.

" Maybe you right," Shad answered with a dejected look on his face after listening to Nina. She indeed might be right, it's already been 300 years since Henry landed on this world, as smart as he was, he wouldn't make the mistake of leaving something that could change the mindset or the belief of an entire civilization out in the open.

Even though it was just an escape pod and not the actual spaceship, it was still enough to cause a ruckus in the entire continent if it was to ever be found.

" Let's look for another hour, if we can't find it then, we'll just go home because it's getting late."

After looking for an hour again, and still wasn't able to find the Pod. Shad left the mountain along with Nina with a disappointing look on his face. He even used the ability of his right eye which allowed him to see through the ground at some extent to check whether the Pod was buried with dirt due to the passing of time, but with no avail.

He wanted to spend a little more time looking for it, but it was getting late, and not to mention there were two powerful men in red looking at his every movement from afar.

These two people have been following him not long after he rescued Nina from that previous man in red. With his powerful spiritual force that allowed to cover an area of more than five hundred meters radius, Shad was able to spot these two people long ago. Even though they did their best to hide their auras, he was still able to sense them. One has to understand, with the crimson eye of the red lightning dragon emperor, he was able to see even through concrete and make any distant objects appear nearer. So even though these two men were hiding their auras, he was still able to see them and even the weak electric signals sent through their human body.

Shad knew that he was not yet a match for two 8th rank warriors, even though he could not defeat them, he still could escape and they wouldn't be able to catch him, but with Nina next to him, it was almost impossible to protect her and fight with these two people at the same.

Luckily he was ambushed by the members of the Eye which provided him the perfect chance to scare away these two men. He had used two of his most powerful attack to annihilate the men in black and killed an early 7th rank warrior with a single punch not because he wanted to end the fight too early or because he was too powerful, but because he wanted to scare the wits out of them, showed them that he was not an easy target and they had to think twice before they act.

Fortunately for him, his plan worked. Even though these two men did not stop following him, but they kept their distance and watched him from afar after he had killed that 7th rank warrior with a single punch.

However, now that he didn't find the treasure left by Henry, he didn't think that there was a need to go all out with them. Furthermore, it was already getting late, Shad did not want to linger here anymore. Even though he was strong, he did not want to fight meaninglessly like an arrogant fool. If he could avoid a fight then he will, but if he couldn't then so be it. One must know when to advance and when to retreat.

Just like that, after he had failed to find the treasure, he had left the mountain range with Nina in a lightning speed because he also knew that this place will be crawling people in less than an hour.

The Marquis's mansion

While Shad was making his way to Ozuna city, a huge black hole suddenly appeared inside the living room. Within it, four people came out. One was an old man while the others were three devasting beauties.

" Where is that little bastard." Asked the old man as soon he got out from the black hole which was like a dimensional portal.

" I will go get him now, Sir...your highness." At this moment, Monalisa who had brought this old man was in a dilemma because she still didn't know how to address him.

This old man was the protector or the guardian of the Djage empire and also the grandfather of the current emperor. Even though this old man appeared to be a little shabby and skinny with his face filled with wrinkles, he was the strongest person in the entire Djage empire and also his young master great-grandfather.

" Little girl, even though your grandpa died long ago, I'm still older than him by quite a number of years. If you can't think of what to refer me, just call me grandpa Djage." The old man said with a cunning smile on his face when he noticed Monalisa's confused look.

Even though Monalisa didn't know why the protector of the Djage empire asked her to refer him as grandpa or why he had this cunning smile on his face as though he knew some secret about her, his words still made her blush in shyness somehow because of something she just remembered.

" Yes, Granpa Djage." she softly answered.

" Hey geezer, I thought I was only your great-granddaughter." Protested a young girl that was next to the old man.

" Of course, little Vivi is my only and favorite great-granddaughter," Quickly answered the old man with a caring look on his face as he moved to pat the young girl's hair and spoiled her.

" That's more like it." Answered Viviana with a victorious look on her face.

" Hehehe, Sister Mona let's go looking for that unruly little brother of mine."

" No need, that little bastard is not in the house and probably not even in the city as well. He probably went to look for that non-existent treasure in the forest." Said the old man to the two girls.

" Damn it, that little bastard from the Eye fooled us big time with that damn scheme of his." Murmured the old man to himself.

" Let's wait for him then. Sister Mona, arrange a room for Mina, she's probably tired by now." Asked Vivianna with a smile on her face while looking at the other curious young girl who's been looking around the house ever since she got here.

If Shad was there at this moment, he would have been greatly surprised because this girl known as Mina looked exactly like Nina.. One could even think that they were the same.
