All eyes looked at where Meika's body fell, making them all hysterical. Especially Jun and Kirara, they immediately ran to Meika in a hurry.
"Hey, how was it? I got the money right? Don't tell me you lied to me!" said Rei after she saw with her own eyes Meika falling down from the bullet.
But instead, one of the Z Factor members laughed at Rei's silly statement, "We wouldn't lie, you fool. However... Are you sure you killed him?"
"You saw it yourself! You can use your powers to see me from a distance, right?"
"I saw it, you fool. What I mean is, look again, the Anomaly Knight is not dead yet."
Still, it was true. It was not easy for them to kill someone with such a high price on their head, as said by a member of Z Factor, the infamous underworld organization.
Rei used his power again by focusing his energy into his eyes and expanding his vision, but he could not see clearly what was happening because his body was surrounded by Jun and Kirara.
That was because Jun and Kirara were panicking when they saw Meika fall down and yet when they approached him, what they found was a smiling Meika without any injuries.
"Ah, I slipped." he said.
"YOU SLIPPED? DON'T MAKE US FEARLESS!" said Jun and Kirara.
Apparently, Meika stopped the bullet used by Rei with his power.
Yes, with the Wind manipulation power, even the enemy's attack might not touch him. He could stop everything that was heading towards him, be it objects, people and more.
Meika was seen getting up and sitting on the ground, although originally he was floating a little so that his body wouldn't touch the ground and stain his uniform.
He then scratched his head, "Sigh, looks like another assassination attempt."
Meika then raised his head, his gaze directed to a certain place that Jun, Kirara, Tendou and also Kyosuke did not know about.
"What is it, Your Highness?" asked Kirara.
Meika smiled, "Over there huh~"
Of course Meika knew where the enemy was, just by expanding the radius of his power, he could find out people who were not or related to him. And that was why, many people always failed in executing Meika's own assassination attempts.
Because it was one of the most dangerous powers in that world.
"I, Your Majesty Meika, give orders to all of you. Whoever can capture the culprit, will receive a reward from me."
Tendou just stood there not knowing what to do, puzzled. How could he not? He turned his head right and left and couldn't even see where the enemy was.
Tendou wondered if they were in one of Veda's people?
On the other hand, Jun and Kirara just let out a long sigh.
"I will not leave your side Your Majesty. There is not a single reward that I desire," Kirara said.
"What reward? A promotion? I don't care about that." Jun replied.
Meika then pointed at the distant enemy, which none of them were able to see. Even so, they were all looking in the same direction making Rei, who was in the distance, feel threatened.
"They know where I am? It's impossible!"
Calmly, Meika continued the sentence he had not finished, "The enemy is over there, and whoever can catch him. I will praise you."
Tendou scrunched up his face unable to process what the king meant. There was no way just by praising them they would make a move, was what Tendou thought.
But he was wrong.
The aura and atmosphere around Jun and Kirara instantly changed. Their eyes opened wide and they glanced at each other.
And in an instant, they were gone from Tendou's sight.
Rei tried to escape from that place, running very fast and then entering the forest so that his whereabouts could not be found by them.
But what the matter, instantly his legs were unable to move. "Ice?" Rei said.
"Phase 2: Ice Manipulation. Ice Block" Kirara was someone who could manipulate liquids into ice and by turning the dew surrounding the forest into ice, she was able to capture Rei instantly.
Rei tried to escape but her legs were completely immobilized and when Rei was too busy with her legs, she found Jun putting his hand on her chest from the front, "Phase 2: Reverse Heal. Pain."
By reversing his own power, Jun was able to change his healing power and exchange it with gray negative energy and infuse it into Rei's body.
In an instant, Rei's body experienced pain like he had never felt before. His muscles began to tear apart and his brain could not take the intense pain, causing him to pass out within seconds.
Proudly, Jun walked over to Rei and tried to lift him up. However, he still found Rei's legs trapped by Kirara's ice.
"Hey, let him go. I'll take him towards His Highness Meika."
With Kirara narrowing her eyes and gritting her teeth, she replied, "What do you want to do with my catch?"
"HUH? YOUR CATCH? I'm clearly the one who beat him!"
"Hey! I was the one who locked him up, I tried to freeze him all over! And you took that opportunity to beat him."
"Most certainly, I was the one who defeated him"
"NO, ME! You were able to defeat him because you touched him. If there was no ice from me, you wouldn't have been able to beat him."
"Hey, I'm even faster than you, don't underestimate me! You alone can't beat him just by freezing him!"
And while they were arguing relentlessly, Meika and his two slaves, Tendou and Kyosuke had arrived and found Rei already defeated with ease.
It was clear that Tendou was still no match for these two by looking at those two monsters.
On the other hand, of course, the Z Factor members had expected this. They were the Big Three of Veda Kingdom, after all. Meika, the Anomaly Knight, Kirara the Bitefrost, and also Jun the Psycopathic Doctor were not people who were easily defeated let alone by mere strangers.
It even took them 50 years to analyze how to defeat them, although in the end Z Factor did not find the answer.
After stalking them by using the magic power of one of the Z Factor members, the member of Z Factor immediately shut down his power so that Meika could not realize it.
The magic power was different from a person's direct presence, which is why Meika couldn't sense the Z Factor's stalking.
But still, while there was a custody on their hands it was one way to find out who was behind all this.
They kept Rei in the cell and waited for him to wake up. Meika waited very calmly even though behind him there were Kirara and Jun who did not stop arguing and asking for compliments from Meika.
Not only them, Tendou and Kyosuke were also there. They were curious as to who was desperately trying to kill Meik on their own, or was there someone behind him?
When he woke up, Meika then quickly and responsively asked Rei, "Tell me, before you lose your life. Who is behind all this?"
Yes, although Meika had escaped the assassination attempt many times, not once had he gotten information on who was behind this. Because they would surely be killed themselves or ran away before they could tell them who had ordered them.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so strong." Rei said after he saw Meika, Kirara, Jun in front of his very eyes. He was scared to death, he began to sweat and his body was trembling.
"You're quite understanding of your current situation. Then answer quickly."
"I-I only accepted the offer because your wanted price was so high! I-I also just needed the money."
"Price? Do You mean a bounty from Z Factor?" Meika replied.
"Y-You knew about it?"
No answer came from Meika, and a moment later he stood up and turned around. "I will release you, but go far away from this country and never set foot in this country again. I have implanted a contract in you that will notify your location if it is within my power radius. Understood?"
"Alright, I promise!"
Even Jun and Kirara were confused, not expecting Meika to let go of someone who almost killed him.
And when Meika turned around, she muttered something.
It was only Tendou who heard and saw Meika's horrified expression after saying that, "So... It was different... not them huh?"
Them? Who did Meika mean by them? Tendou certainly did not know anything about it. Even the Z Factor, he was hearing it for the first time.
He tried to uncover all the information in the future.
