Tervan Rogers was a 90 year old light skinned man of average height who kept a bald head and goatee which hosted some grey hair signifying his age.
Rogers was a cultivator at the 2nd stage liquid general level who resided in a grade A city, despite his age he was a valued cultivator by his organization and currently had a few 2nd stage solid general kills under his belt.
Rogers had decided to take a break from work and go sightseeing in the lower grade cities and had decided to ask one of the lower ranked members of his organization to be his tour guide.
Along the way, he had heard of this subordinate's problem of one of the groups under him being attacked by a man called Evary Seth.
As a highly skilled veteran fighter, 100 low grade qi stones were only enough to raise an eyebrow from him, but seeing how terrified this subordinate of his was, he decided to show off a little bit of his power.
They had been thinking of how to get to Seth without causing a scene in the city and drawing attention to themselves, when he had instead delivered himself to them by leaving the city, they had expected Seth to at least put up some resistance when he saw them, but he had instead stopped the car and then walked up to them with a woman in hand.
Rogers watched the target walk up to him and couldn't help but laugh inwardly at how weak and unskilled the lower grade cities were.
When Rogers saw how young Seth was, he had immediately thought of him as a genius from a higher grade city, but as he walked forward, he couldn't help but feel joy wash throughout him that he had come here today.
Seth walked like a civilian, there was no sense of alertness as he moved, his eyes showed disregard for the cultivators who had surrounded him and he even had his left hand tightly holding a woman who wasn't even a ranked cultivator, severely limiting his ability to react if he was attacked, Tervan's instincts didn't feel any threat from Seth.
Roger could only conclude that the boy before his was an arrogant one, a genius bumpkin who had grown up in a lower grade city and after laying waste to some lowly gang, he now felt on top of the world.
But that was great for Rogers, all this worked out for him, first, he would humble this arrogant genius and then take him back to the organization.
"He should be around 30 years old, and since he was able to reach the general level at such a young age while living in this undeveloped environment, then there is a big chance that he would be able to become Kaiser, and then with his help, my chances of receiving more resources and becoming a 3rd stage general are all but assured".
So with thoughts of using Seth as an investment for his future, Rogers first talked with Seth, a bright smile on his face before exploding out with his aura in a bid to intimidate Seth, yet never did he expect Seth to effortlessly ward off his aura.
Rogers was still stunned at Seth's ability to brush off his aura at such close proximity, but when he heard Seth's next words, it took him all his experience not to break out of his calm expression.
"Why are you asking" Rogers replied to Seth's question.
"I am currently looking for a Kaiser to kill, so I figured I might as well just help your organization kill an enemy Kaiser, that way such a great person won't die a pointless death," Seth said with a serious expression on his face, though he didn't say it, another reason was asking them was because he currently had no idea where he could easily get access to a Kaiser level cultivator.
Rogers stared Seth straight in the eye for a while before a smile appeared on his face and with a shake of his head he said to Seth like an elder advising a child,
"Just because you successfully played around with some soldier-level cultivators, and probably some other general level cultivators, you now think that you can actually stand as an opponent before a Kaiser. Do you know how wide the distance between a Kaiser and a general...." Rogers was saying before he got off by Seth,
"I don't need the lectures, does your organization have one or not," Seth said irritation at the man's lecture evident in his voice.
"And what if we don't have one" Rogers calmly asked with a smile.
"I kill you guys and keep looking for a Kaiser," Seth offhandedly said
"I have never seen anyone talk about Kaiser level cultivators with such disrespect, but if you want info on them, I can take you to my organization, but first you will have to prove to me that you're not all talk," Rogers said as the smile on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a stoic expression.
Rogers had never seen anyone as arrogant as this young man, but he was prepared to teach him some humility, he was going to go all out on this kid and show him the meaning of power.
"Get ready," Rogers said as he jumped a few meters back and lowered his body into a fighting stance, yet he saw Seth still standing in the same position and even wrapped his hand around the woman beside him when she tried to move away from him.
"Smart woman unfortunately she would soon be abandoned by him"
"Fine here I come," Rogers said with a chuckle, and with a surge of wind around him, he attempted to move to the right, well attempted to, because just as he lifted his leg, a purple light flashed before him and he found himself down on his knees with blood falling down his lips and him supporting himself up with his hands.
Rogers didn't know what had happened, but he could feel something had hit his chest first and then slam his back, "what happened, was it that man that did this" Rogers thought as he turned to look at Seth, he turned to look at the men some distance away from him to ask for answers, but all he could see was confusion in their eyes as the gazed at his prostrating figure.
The man he suspected was standing in his same position, still holding onto the woman beside him and staring up at the sky, but Rogers didn't need the man to answer him, as the burnt footprints on the ground screamed out the identity of his attacker.
Black Scorched footsteps led up to Seth who had stopped staring at the sky and was now staring at the ground with a frown.
"My control of Raiju's lightning needs some serious work," Seth thought and he turned to face the kneeling man,
"Do you still need more proof?" Seth asked.
"Hearing Seth's words, Roger tried to stand up but he immediately coughed out blood and fell back to his knees, he took some time to get back to himself and then replied Seth
"No your Excellency, I would inform my organization immediately"
All rogers wanted was to relax a little and try to improve his chances of breaking through to the next rank, but in the end, he had riled up a sleeping tiger, the young man before him was definitively a Kaiser cultivator and he had actually dared to lecture him, right now, Rogers was ready to lead Seth all the way to his organization's headquarters if it pleased him".
"No need just tell your organization to send someone with the information I want to Azimilop town before tomorrow at 3:00 pm, I would be waiting by the town's entrance," Seth said, and then with Alexia in hand, he walked back to their jeep and drove off.
