Chapter 3 - The Tournament House

Adonis woke up with a rumbling stomach. He pushed himself up from to cold concrete floor, and he looked around feeling confused for the first time in his life. He saw five different people older than him sitting at different places all looking exhausted.

"The new lad is awake" Orubus one of the men who looked like he was in his early 20s with a dark skin said with a strong yet tired voice "Orubus" Bane who was white and around the age of 30 and was the only one wearing a top said "Sorry boss" Orobus said playfully and everyone laughed

"So who are you" Chris an Asian-looking man said "Adonis and you all are who" Adonis asked and the only female among them called Pam smacked her head with her hand lightly "Sorry, where are our manners guys. Let's introduce ourselves to the kid" Pam said "I'll go first" Bane said as he faced Adonis "I'm Bane Nova, from the Nova family. I'm here because I disrespected the Solaria family's young master" Bane said and Adonis got more confused "What is the Solaria family" Adonis asked "Questions after introduction boy" Pam said looking entirely different- cold and deadly "Okay" Adonis said weirdly and Pam changed back to her nice and cheerful self

"I'm Orubus Kaiser, as for the reason why I'm here it's simple, I was born black which isn't an actual crime but both my father and mother is white only that my uncle is black so my mother gave me and the midwife out to save both my uncle and her skin" Orubus said smiling "I'm Chris Lympha, I'm here because I refused to heal our young master pet" Chris said smiling lightly "I'm Marcus Forge, I'm here because I failed to make 20 blades in a day" an Australian male in his late 20s said "I'm Perminder Aeropex and I'm here for fun" Pam said smiling

"I guess I can ask my questions now, first where am I, what is this family stuff you speak of like something special and why do you all speak like this place is a punishment house" Adonis asked "Did you live under a rock or something?" Orubus asked surprised at Adonis question "No, I lived in a wooden house" Adonis replied cluelessly "Do you even know anything about the main Eight powerful families of the human race" Chris asked and Adonis shakes his head "Well this is going to be a long night" Bane said with a sigh and they all kept quiet for a while

"So who will explain it to him" Marcus asked and everyone turned to stare at him "Why don't you explain it Marcus" Pam said with a smile "You know I'm not that good at explaining things why don't Bane do it after all he's the leader" Marcus said and Pam looked at Bane who had no choice but sigh began speaking "There are eight powerful families in this world and they are the Adamantia family, Necron family, Solaria family, Aeropex family, Velocita family, Techna family, Hydor family and McCormick family" Bane said as he made a brief pause to check Adonis expression but he found it unchanged

Surprised Bane continued his story "Each family has it's own unique abilities and it has four branch families each. The Adamantia family can turn invisible yet assassinate any creature on earth Orobus is from one of its branched family called the Kaiser family, this family is said to be the strongest human family followed by the Necron family, the Necron family can absorb and make use of kinetic energy how ever they wish, they get stronger the more they move or the more they get hit which placed them above the Solaria family. The Solaria family is able to..." Bane got interrupted by a knock on the room door

Bane looked to the door with squinted eyes and tightened eyebrows, obviously he was annoyed "Who is there" Bane asked "I'm a guard and you lot are to go to sleep, I don't want to find anyone of you awake when next I come here" the guard said and left. They all looked at each other in the room before turning to face Pam "You all are sleeping alone tonight so don't stare at me" Pam said "Well Pam, you should know that is the only thing you are useful for and we might not be allowed to do anything to you but that doesn't mean we don't like feeling a young girl in our arms" Orobus said leachrously with eyes filled with lust as it roamed Pam's body

"What is going on" Adonis asked confused and Marcus and Chris turned to face him while lying down on the cold floor "Just go to sleep boy, if you try to stop them they will beat you up" Chris said with another sigh "I thought Pam was the most powerful here" Adonis said confused "Do you think she would be here if she was that powerful, if there is anything the main families value it is name, talent anf power and the only thing Pam has is the name" Chris said lying on his back to face the roof

"The both of them can't do anything to her during the day because she bears the Aeropex family name but since it's night and there is no guard they can do anything they want with her as long as there is no evidence" Marcus said shaking his head in pity for Pam. Bane moved closer to Pam and he stretched his hand in attempt to perform his illicit acts but before his hands could touch Pam he felt someone hold his hand and he turned his head to look at who was holding his hand and his eyebrows tightened into a squeeze as his face made him appear annoyed

"Get out of my way boy" Bane said as he tried removing his wrist from Adonis hands "I don't know much but there are few things that I know and as far as my knowledge goes touching a lady without permission is wrong so you either get your hands off her or you will loss it" Adonis said keeping his poker face on. Bane and Orubus laughed out loud at Adonis words "Can't you be any less of a joke" Orubus said as he continued laughing

"You can try touching her if you dare" Adonis said as his body released smoke "Fuck of runt" Orubus said as he used his super strength which was possessed by all members of the Kaiser family to try push Adonis away but immediately his hand touched Adonis flames and lightning went up his arms "Try moving your arm and I'll burn it to crisps" Adonis threatened but it looked weird to Bane as Adonis expression didn't change from the beginning to the end, it was like he was a machine.

"Don't think you scare me kid" Bane said as yellow light swirled around his body radiating intense heat. Bane sent a stream of light towards Adonis and what occurred shocked him, all the light was absorbed by Adonis "How is this possible" Bane said with widened eyes "Was something supposed to happen" Adonis asked seriously Bane shocked expression, Bane did nothing and kept look at Adonis shocked

"If you wouldn't say anything go to sleep then" Adonis said and he chopped Bane's neck and everything went dark.
