"Who is it?" This figure caught everyone's attention.
"Endless Shadow! He's... Sham's guard?" Ricky and Hoffman shot each other looks of confusion.
There were five people of the Endless Shadow that had come to the Fortune Land. Sham was the leader, followed by his four other guards, who had been trained from a very young age by the Endless Shadow. It was set up specifically for Sham's protection.
Although these four guards were not as powerful and intelligent as Sham, they were still tier-one geniuses in the Realm of Wildness who were able to challenge the opponent of higher levels.
Being as faceless and emotionless guards, they were simply named One, Two, Three and Four.
The one clad in black jumped on stage. He was the fourth guard of Sham, Four.
"What's he doing here? Can't he see that this old man's strength isn't below his master!? Does he want to get himself killed?" Realizing who he was, the remaining warriors and beasts started talking.
"Who knows He could be trying to avenge his master and kill Ricky."
……
"Four, what are you doing?" the other three guards asked him. They were confused too.
"Brothers, our poor master has just died. Naturally, I intend to take the last dragon meridian. If I succeed, I will become the first genius killer of the new generation in the Endless Shadow," Four answered with greed in his voice.
"Arrogant prick," the other guards muttered scornfully.
If Four was looking to get killed, they couldn't stop him. Besides, although they served the same man and called each other brother, they were still killers and didn't see eye to eye with each other.
Other warriors and beasts also disapproved of Four's action. They believed that greed had made Four lose his mind.
Ricky thought otherwise. His instinct told him that Four could be stronger than he let on. He could be even more formidable than Sham! To be Sham's guard, one had to be a genius who had a clear head and knew his place. Under these circumstances, there was no way he couldn't see that this old man was just as strong as Sham.
'Looks this Four is either crazy or have something up his sleeve, and my money is on the latter.' Ricky thought to himself, 'We'll find out soon enough.'
……
"The young generation nowadays are really out of line. They are all so arrogant and reckless!" The old man shook his head, looking at Four.
"Old man, don't think for a second that I will go easy on you just because you are old. You don't have many years to live now, what are you doing here in the Fortune Land anyway? You dared not to become innate at your peak, and now you want to do it after having some last luck?" Four said with a cruel smile.
"You only have a few years left to live. You might as well die now."
"You're asking for it, young man!" the old man shouted, growing very angry. His demi-immortal flair came out of his body instantly.
"Ha-ha, what's that now? Are you angry that I am right?" Four laughed.
"If you don't believe what I say, try me now. But I assure you that I will end your miserable life in ten moves."
Four gestured for the old man to attack.
……
"Four is Sham's guard. How can he be so arrogant like this after his master died?" Tyson said to Ricky and Kristen telepathically.
"Tyson, don't you realize that someone is no better than Four?" Kristen smiled.
