When Chloe left the Karate club she was showered with praises from the other members. For doing a good job in humiliating Emily. However, for her she felt like the fight wasn't over yet. Her opponent hadn't been knocked out, and was still well enough to fight again, yet for some reason, Emily had just left having received the first blow.
With the conversation over, Chloe quickly left the club to head home.
Eventually, leaving the school gates, she took a turn, and a black coloured car was waiting for her. Before Chloe could even open the door, the driver had gotten out of the car and opened the door for her.
"Please miss." The driver said.
Chloe had gotten into the air car with tinted black windows, and had started her drive home. All of this was done. because Chloe was The Kin Lionheart's daughter. One of the six millionaires in the tier 4 city; New tylon.
Usually, such an important figure of a tier 4 city should be well known but Kin preferred to stay unknown by using a perfectly crafted lion's mask to hide his identity_ the lion mask also has a real mane and Kin's huge built super human body make him resemble a humaniond lion in a suit and he had registered his children in the city's database under a fake name.
Eventually, the vehicle had arrived in a more private area of the town. It was driving through what looked like artificial wilderness, and had reached a large black gate. Standing outside there were those that looked like guards wearing blue suits, however if one was to look closer they could see that they weren't just any guards. They had tattoos looking like branding running up their necks, and some even had piercings and they were huge_ The MI6 superguards.
Humanity were never satisfied with their weakness so countless research were put into the introduction of three different forms.
The augmentation surgery create Augmented Human and is dirt cheap and the chances of survival is very low and those who survive have a shorter lifespan only Mercenaries still chose to be Augmented.
The alteration surgery create Altered human with a high chance of survival at 65% but mostly with side effects most altered human have hideous altered parts with some sporting horns and altered human can't assert themselves beyond the 3 hour marker.
The superhuman surgery create super human or the perfect human 2.0 and the chances of survival as high as 88% can only be performed in a tier 1 city and cost a fortune but after the introduction of the Gifted serums it's price went down @ 10 million credits.most people in tier 2 cities are human 2.0 with few people in tier 1 cities being human 3.0
The Gifted serum produced by the Michigan corps cost more than a fortune and creates Gifted with 100% chances and only few people are able to get their hand on a Gifted serum.
Comparison between a Gifted and a superhuman is just comparing a man and half- God they have insane stats and innate abilities and transformation that turns them into alien like being which isn't hideous but can only be described as surreal.
The MI6 is just a front for the professor's gang the Manhattan, the professor is a smart man always working in the shadows so the Manhattan isn't well known as other gangs.
These were gangsters that had been lent for Kin's protection. In a way they worked as a bigger deterrent than bodyguards for other gangs_ but the professor just so happen to be Kin and he has gotten so good at playing both characters.
Kin owns the Kin's Conglomerate and he is the C.E.O and highest Share holder of the Kin conglomerate which is divided into three Sub, Kin Estates, Kin Oil and the Kin's money maker the Kin Gold but the mining site don't fetch a lot of money but the Golden items Kin always have for auction. The Kin Gold is able to take items of the old world and coat the surface with alien Gold, a Gold so pure than anything found on earth and other planets owned by humanity the coating looks so professional that one might think the material of the item was made of Gold.
Kin Lionheart was never a successful business man or strategist, he was never born rich but his life changed when he found a crashed vehicle surrounded by dead bodies in the woods when he was about to commit suicide, it looked like an ambush but everyone died and he just so happened that he managed to retrieve a box from the van and the contents were two unbranded vile_ Gifted serums.
The serum were used on his two children not because he wanted the best for them but because they were expendable and just what were his chances the serum used on his first daughter turned out to be a corrupted demon rank the fifth most sort after Gifted serum in the world granting her the ability to create a mirror like substance more durable than titanium, invisibility and the ability to create multiple clones and shapeshift into any human, Increase her size and a transformation that looks like a surreal alien made from multiple shards of glass with such powers she was able to climb up the ranks to level 15 A.A.S Gifted fighting Championship while the serum used on his second daughter was a fallen king rank granting her the ability to create and control Alien Gold and the ability to change the material of any substance to Gold.
Chloe hasn't unlocked her transformation but she is Kin's favorite because of the massive cash her ability make for the Kin's empire.
The house was in sight, it was quite a large six bedroom house with a bathroom in every room. This would be a luxury for anyone living in a tier four city. In the first place, not even a mayor of a small town like this one would have been able to live in a place like this.
"Hey, is the troublemaker back!" A voice said, coming from the kitchen.
Chloe quickly ran in and went inside, to see her mother, and the one whose voice she had heard coming through the doors.Her Sister.
"Skyla you're here! Didn't you say, you would be busy shooting at this time?" Chloe asked.
Chloe sister was quite the damsel, having clear skin, Her eyes were so naturally dark that it looked like she wore eyeliner and she's a blonde.
"Well, one of my appointments got cancelled, so I decided to head back home early." Skyla answered. She could see a glow in Chloe's eyes, leaving him to let out a big sigh.
"Sometimes, I don't think you're happy to see me because of me. Fine, let me finish here and we can go for a round." Skyla said, getting up from her seat.
The two of them moved and headed outside. On the large piece of land where their house lay, there was an annex and inside it was set up with gym equipment, such as punching bags and dolls, and more martial arts equipment.
The two had gotten into position and it was time. Chloe started as she charged forward, leaping up in the air and spun, delivering the kick to the head before the kick connected her right foot was encased in hardened Gold. She soon saw Skyla lean back and narrowly avoid it.
'It missed,
Skyla had narrowly avoided it on purpose, and if she wanted to, it would allow her the timing to attack herself.
The kicks continued with a few punches here and there, and Skyla avoided all of them, once in a while she would throw a kickback, but it would just be a light tap, showing her sister that she could have hurt her at any time.
Eventually, getting frustrated, Chloe went to try her strongest attack. She was ready, waited for the perfect time, and spun once again all her body encased in gold she look like a human wearing a complete set of golden skintight armour, hoping to hit her sister with the back of her heel, right behind the ear.
She could feel it connect, but her sister was still standing with her arm covering the area, She then took a step forward throwing her off balance and causing her to fall to the ground. Throwing out a punch to her face, she stopped an inch from her nose.
"And that is definitely a defeat Gold Surfer." Skyla said with a smile. "You really have improved a lot, and those kicks of yours are hard to deal with, trust me." She said massaging her arm.
Helping her up off the ground, She could tell Chloe wasn't pleased. Usually his compliments would make her feel better but it didn't look like it this time.
"What's wrong?" Skyla asked.
"Are my kicks really that strong? You're not just saying that to make me feel better, right?" Chloe asked.
"That's what you're upset about? That kick I blocked at the end. First of all, I'm twenty five and your body still has room to grow." Skyla said. "Second of all, your Sister is a level 15 A A.S Gifted fighter one of the top in the country, and to top that off I am Switch Silver, so I have an unfair advantage. If you kicked anyone your age be it boy or girl they wouldn't be able to stand up again."
Hearing her sister's words, she found it very hard to believe because that very kick with subtle hardened Gold, there was a person who had stood up again.
"Maybe that Snowflake is someone to look out for after all." Chloe mumbled.
Suddenly, she felt a heat coming from the corner of the room, and as she looked at Skyla, she could see the fire in her eyes.
"What's this about a boy! Did he try touching you? You can tell me, right?! You know the rule I and dad set for you. If anyone wants to go out with you they need to at least be strong enough to beat me!"
She knew about this rule, but she knew that was also impossible. There were only a few people in the country strong enough to beat her Sister. That's why she had altered that rule slightly to herself, that they had to at least be stronger than her which doesn't make sense for a human to be stronger than a Gifted.
Chloe sighed as she thought about her feelings towards Emily. She had liked her since middle school, but couldn't understand why she had resorted to bullying her instead of embracing those feelings. And now, seeing Emily grow stronger and challenge her, all for the chance to go on a date with her, Chloe couldn't help but question her own actions.
During their battle, Chloe had subtly used her powers to give herself an advantage, coating her foot with gold. However, when Emily collapsed, a pang of worry and concern surged through Chloe's heart. Her actions had led to this moment, and the thought of causing harm to Emily.
As Emily stood up with determination in her eyes, Chloe couldn't help but admire her strength. But then, unexpectedly, Emily quit after just the first round. This decision left Chloe feeling even more confused and hurt. Why did it affect her so deeply? Why did it matter so much to her that Emily decided to quit?
Unable to find answers to her questions, Chloe found that thoughts of Emily consumed her mind. She couldn't think of anything without Emily popping up. The pain she felt from Emily's decision to quit after the first round was inexplicable but undeniably present.
