August 2024, Utopia
The red-haired man saw someone coming out from the doom of light, as he had already heard Luca calling out to that person as if he was familiar to him and how the man looked had made it clear that the man in front of him was that famous 'code one'.
A sneering smile appeared on his face, 'At last' he thought.
Right after the signal he received from Finn, Ryker is finally interfering with the fight. The moment he got out of the portal, he saw a red-haired man in front of him sneering at him while his best friend was behind him wagging his invisible tail.
He could tell from his experience that the man in front of him looked strong. Certainly, he has to fight against him with the same amount he did with Luca. After digging his memories in a flash, he remembered. This man is called Lian Carol, a newly rising rookie who is already climbing the world rank.
A strange remark in his profile being 'Hard to communicate.'
Without any hesitation, Ryker disappeared from his position appearing on the left of Lian. His leg is surrounded by certain colors emitting from it. It brushes off the arm of Lian but the red-haired man disappears only to reappear behind Ryker.
Lian, he aimed a strong punch covered in electricity to the head. It was ducked by the disappearance of Ryker.
Ryker appeared on the land, standing, followed by Lian. He stood opposite to him. Red-haired man felt a slight sting from his left arm, glancing at it, he realized that it was bleeding. There's some dried blood on the injury which looked burnt by the heat of the electricity.
His eyes widened seeing it. Looking back at Ryker he couldn't see any injury yet, just yet. Soon, he will have it. A wide grin appeared along with this thought.
Their fight continued again.
Both of their movements are too fast for other people to see with their eyes. Only bursts of lights in the air were seen. No one dares to go near the place they were fighting. Even Luca was amazed.
He flew away from the place they were fighting, also bringing Finn with him. Since most of Finn's ability doesn't include the strength or power to fight, Luca willingly protects him.
In the collisions of two powerful forces, Ryker should say he is impressed. It's the first time he met someone who can catch up with him. No, he should say that the man who just appeared in the government database is on the same level as him.
He felt strange from the fact that their abilities are most likely the same. Also, in another way round, he felt excitement running through his spines.
Both of their bodies are encased in electricity. The battle scene of hundreds of men becomes a show of single combat performance between them. Most of the audience are in awe.
Pressing off his foot midair, Ryker dashes left and right, then disappears again, throwing an electro punch from behind towards Lian. This time, Lian didn't dogged. He threw the same exact punch at Ryker.
The moment their punches meet, the outburst of power can be felt to all the people on the island. The air pressure emitted from it is enormous.
Seeing such a display of power, Luca couldn't believe that the red-haired man was going easy on him all along.
Both of their feet sink into the ground by the pressure and their fists are stained with fresh blood.
People could finally see their conditions for some seconds until they continue their fight. They were equally injured?
Finn's eyes widened, not because of their injuries but because of what he just sensed from the connection between the radar and his power.
Another submarine right down the island? Something…something is coming from it. Due to the water pressure of the ocean, the objects were coming slowly.
Before the objects he felt were coming near the island, he abruptly shouted without a care about whether letting the enemies know or not, "Missiles from below!"

August 2024, Earth
After eating the meal she was craving for, Charlotte was back to work on some documents from the other companies first before she plans something for the competition between the grandson of chairman Gu and her.
Her secretary is off work early today just because she's in a good mood, she let him off early.
But for her secretary, he doesn't feel he's off work at all. Living right down in an apartment of the same building arranged by his boss, there have been many times he's called after being given a holiday.
He didn't really mind though, living in a luxurious apartment like the one he's in is a dream to most of the secretaries. Not to mention, his sky-high salary. If his boss were to tell him to follow her to death, he would happily accompany her.
He was currently investigating the backstory of the grandson of chairman Gu for two hours straight in his free time until an unusual phone call came in. It was from his boss. What a strange day it is, he thought before picking it up.
"Yes, boss…" Before he could tell further the voice and the words from the other end of the phone greatly shocked him.
"Bring a trusted private doctor here fast" His boss's voice was slightly trembling but it was stern. It was like an order out of nervousness.
Does something happen to her?
"Understood," he quickly answered. Without a second thought, he called a trusted doctor who excels in most of the medical field with long experience. He's certainly someone who knows how to keep one's privacy.
Huan Jiang rushed upstairs with the private elevator that already had his finger print registered, right after he finished connecting the doctor.
'I'm so worried' written on his face the entire time.
