" It's good to see you again sire "
A blonde woman said as she bowed in front of a tall purple-haired man
" What did I tell you about the sire thing? Just call me Fu "
The man replied as he smiled, staring down at the woman with a calm expression.
The woman's blonde hair wasn't the only thing that stood out, of course, her eyes were also of a bright crimson red as well as her short dress, which covered her beautiful figure all the way down to her thighs
" A commoner such as myself can not and should not address a king without respect behind their words "
The woman replied, making the man known as Fu to simply sigh
" Well, it's nice seeing you again Ana"
The man replied while scratching the back of his head, walking forward, toward a gigantic castle so big and so majestic that you'd confuse it for an entire town.
" Anyway. Did you capture him? "
He questioned as the woman simply stared at him, watching him walk before following behind, making sure she wouldn't take a step in front of him
" Yes my leash, he is currently in the basement, the scientists are running tests on him to see whether or not his ability to regenerate would be of any help to us "
The woman explained as she would slowly place her arms behind her back, looking forward as Fu simply continued to walk, waving his head from left to right as if thinking about something
" So? Any results? "
He questioned as he turned to look at her, but to his disappointment, she would shake her head
" We captured him a few days ago, so unfortunately we can not say for certain whether he will be useful to us or not "
She replied, making him click his tongue in annoyance which immediately caught her attention, and as soon as it did, she would bow her head
" I sincerely apologize for my failure sire, I shall punish myself for my incompetence! "
She said, before generating a blade of purple energy from her fingertips, willing to stab her throat with it, but right when the tip touched the surface of her neck, Fu would stop her man
" It's fine, you completed the task as I asked you to, you captured him, so don't worry about it "
" But sire.. "
" I said it's fine "
And just like that, a cold and quiet atmosphere was created, as the two simply stood there, staring at each other with two different expressions.
For Fu it was calmness, as for Ana, it was disappointment in herself
" Anyway, back to the main topic. Take me to where you're keeping him "
He ordered, before letting go of her hand, patting her head a few times, as he later began to walk
" Yes, sire "
She replied, somewhat embarrassed of the head pats she had received.
Shaking her head, she would regain her composure, following along with quick steps.
After a few minutes of walking, they would find themselves in what seemed to be a chamber, with prison bars surrounding the entire room, and in the middle, was a man, strapped to a chair and with glowing purple tubes attached to his back
" Sheesh, looks like the scientists roughed em up a little bit "
Fu said to himself as he placed his right thumb and index finger under his chin, looking at the man up and down with one of his eyebrows raised as if analyzing him
" it seems like it, sir "
Ana added, supporting the simple and obvious claim that her master had just stated
" Well. Wake em up "
He ordered, making Ana nod, as she would then press a button on the chair which would electrocute the man, immediately waking him up
" Yo! "
That was all Fu said, an attempt to give the man a greeting
" Wha- "
The man whispered, trying his best to come up with a sentence, short enough for him to pronounce
" Why's he talking so low? "
Fu questioned as he would then begin to snap his fingers in front of the man's face, attempting to wake him up
" He has undergone quite the amount of extreme experiments sire. So his energy, as well as his physical strength, is not the best at the moment "
Ana would explain, as he Fu would simply pull his fingers away from the man's face, turning to look at her with a small smile
" Oh so that's the problem, well then—this should be enough to solve it... "
He replied in a calm demeanor before placing his hand on top of the man's head, which made Ana concerned, but those Ill feelings would soon vanish as she watched as her master made purple energy flow from his hand into the man's head
" There you go, enough energy for you to talk, so, hey there little Elite how about you spit out your master's secret "
Fu said, as he stared down at the man, who simply glared back at him
" My name isn't Elite "
" I know ... but did I ask you about your name? "
Fu whispered as his dark purple, now menacing-looking eyes began to glow
" You think you scare me? Just wait and see, when Master Romulus finds out about this, he'll make sure to make you suffer "
The man replied, with confidence in his voice, not scared one bit by Fu's stare.
" Do you really think, Romulus cares about you? He manipulates people into thinking that, his dumb self-centered ideology should be praised, he's a man who still hasn't grown up yet. You're better off snitching on him than protecting his secrets "
Fu whispered as he glared back at the man
" Don't you dare insult Master Romulus's name with your lies, He'll soon make you pay, you'll see "
The man replied, smirking with the same confidence he used in his words earlier, glaring at Fu with even more intensity
" You're forgetting who you're talking to, so let me just remind you. My name's Fu Hanaku, the strongest human alive "
Fu whispered, before quickly sinking his middle finger into the right side of the man's neck, knocking him unconscious
" W-what was that for sire? "
Ana questioned as Fu's sudden action surprised her
" The conversation wasn't going anywhere, so I got irritated and knocked him out. Anyway, I doubt he had any real valuable information "
Fu replied as he then scratched the back of his head, staring down at the man with a calm expression
" Then why ask him in the first place? "
She asked, now a bit more intrigued
" Well, when it comes to war, any little bit of information can change the outcome "
Fu said, answering her question before yawning
" Anyway. Let's just get out of here, the main reason why I wanted this guy was because of his generative abilities, if they turn out to not be of any help, then we'll just dispose of him "
Fu whispered, with a calm and deep tone, loud enough for Ana to hear, and just like that they would leave the chambers, walking out of the basement and heading over to a garden
" By the way sire, and I don't mean to be rude but, what took you so long to get back? You left for months, I personally thought something happened to you, I was a little bit concerned. Your mission was to make an allegiance with the Sukeki village, which shouldn't have taken more than a few weeks, taking into account the distance and the time for negotiation "
Ana questioned, as he watched her master pull out a rose from the garden's ground
" Well, as you already know, I had a master, who was far, far stronger than me, and well—my master had ten disciples, and one of them was his own son, his name was Sonma Himura. Sonma of course showed the most promise in the arts that our master taught. But, one day, he and master suddenly left, leaving behind the remaining nine disciples, which included me. A few years later, I met up with Sonma Again, turns out he had a son...."
Fu explained, pausing for a second before continuing his explanation
" He said his goodbyes to me and well, I never saw him again, then a few months back, out of curiosity for his child, I went to see where he was staying, which was un-ironically right above Sukeki village. Anyway, I met up with his boy, unfortunately though, by the time I got there, master had been killed, but for some reason, the boy was kept alive, I bonded with him. He was kind and childish, which reminded me of Sonma, but above all, he was insanely strong for his age "
Fu said as he pulled off the stipule from the rose, staring at it with a calm smile
" If he was so strong sire, then why did you not recruit him? "
Ana questioned as he stared up at Fu who simply smiled as he looked back at her
" Well, I didn't want to involve my friend's kid in a war that he isn't part of "
Fu replied with simplicity as Ana's eyes simply widened in disbelief
" Allow me one last question Sire.. "
" Sure go ahead "
Fu said as he looked back at the rose, glaring at it with deep interest, almost as if he was analyzing it
" Why did you ask me to capture Opol Rentor? "
Ana questioned, as Fu would simply tilt his head, before looking up at the sky, thinking about what to reply with
" Well, my soldiers aren't all strong like me, so if his ability to regenerate turns out to be a genetic coding system, then we can just take his blood and make a serum which would then be passed down to my soldiers, that way, they wouldn't die off easily by the dumb decisions their king makes "
Fu replied as he walked over to Ana, placing the rose in her hair, causing her cheeks to turn red
" My master really is... "
Ana whispered as she stared at the ground with a small smile on her face
" The best "
