Chapter 87. Forcing Ideology
Aiden checked the mission list.
[Special Mission description:
Burning Sands City, a city located at the edge of Hessington State, has always been infested with criminals and criminal organizations. It’s high time they are dealt with. It’s called Burning Sands City because of the lawlessness there. It’s a haven for criminals. Killing is rampant and lawlessness is everywhere.
Task: Bring an end to these syndicates within a one year period..
Tip: The hegemons of the syndicates there are legendary rank 2 warriors.
Mission difficulty level: High( 90 percent probability of death)
Reward: 1 million contribution points]
Aiden accepted the mission.
"This fits my objectives completely," Aiden thought. "A lawless city. That means the place is not under any supervision. I don’t need to have any reservations then. Free blood essence awaits."
He received a notification. He had received 200,000 contribution points.
"Instructor Cosmo handled it," Aiden nodded.
"Time to get the temporary face altering cream."
Aiden ordered the cream from the campus stores.
"This is very expensive. It drained all my contribution points. I guess it makes sense. A cream that can change facial appearance for 1 hour can be used for a lot of impersonations and infiltrations. It has to be expensive so that access to it is limited. If it is this expensive even with a top rankers discount, the prices outside campus could be billions," Aiden thought.
A bot delivered it to his doorstep a few minutes later.
He took it and applied it on his face.
Suddenly, he felt some warmth spread across his face. His face heated up for a moment before the temperature of his face returned to normal.
He looked in a mirror.
His hair was still brown. But he looked very average and had green eyes.
"I should go to the airport as soon as possible. I only have an hour till it’s effects wear off."
Aiden left his villa. He ordered a cab that would take him to the airport. He was currently waiting for the cab. He was seated under a tree on campus at the moment.
Usually, people would point fingers at him or be amazed on seeing him. But this time, no one realized it was Aiden Vhorn since his facial structure had changed completely.
So, everyone who passed by him simply greeted him like they would any other student and passed by.
Very soon, the cab arrived.
"Where to sir?" The driver said.
"Derulo International Airport please," Aiden replied.
"Alright hop in," the driver replied.
Aiden sat in the back seat.
"According to this map, Burning Sands City is an isolated city from all the cities of Hessington State. However, the closest to it is Airo City. I should board an airplane to Airo City and continue the rest of the journey to Burning Sands by myself. To get to Burning Sands, one has to go through the Burning Sands Mountain range. That place is known to be infested with bandits. Which means free blood essence for me," Aiden thought.
"After a shocking revelation that Mr Aiden Vhorn, known as the crimson reaper, shocked everyone in Hessington State with his record breaking major assistance in the closure of two special rank 1 gates, and a notorious rank 2 gate which plagued Harland City’s Western District for a while, he’s currently the most talked about person in Hessington State at the moment," a female anchor on a mini television in the car said.
"Indeed. His other public feats after becoming a warrior are also being discussed with fervor. It’s been a while since a rank 1 warrior managed to shake the Hessington State like this," a male anchor seated by the female anchor added. "News also just came in that he’s an expert rank 1 warrior, according to some of his expedition team members. This young man’s speed of cultivation is frightening."
Suddenly, the phone of the female anchor buzzed with an update.
She widened her eyes.
"News just came in. The conflict between the Fangs and the Ravenspars of Tanmun City has escalated to a full blown war between the two families."
The footage switched to the Ravenspar Estates and the Fang Estates. Both estates lay in ruins, completely destroyed. Dead bodies were scattered all over the place.
"Henrich, the son of the Fangs, committed suicide yesterday in Harland City. However, the Ravenspars claimed they were not the ones to kill the one who killed their daughter. Because of that, they directed their remaining anger on the Fangs. The Fangs, unable to tolerate these actions, struck back. In the end, both families completely wiped each other out," the female said.
The footage switched to the dead bodies of the Ravenspar couple and the Fang couple sprawled on the ground with wounds.
"It’s such a tragic end for these powers. All because of the mistake of a teenager. What the hell was that young man thinking, killing his own fiance," the driver sighed and clicked his tongue as he kept driving.
"As for Mr Vhorn, my daughter keeps talking about him. I don’t know why the young ladies are so crazy about him. But who can blame them? The world is a place where the strong are revered."
Aiden was calm as he listened to the news on the Ravenspars and the Fangs . Everything had worked perfectly.
He simply nodded inwardly, smiled politely at the driver attempting to strike a conversation with him and returned to his phone.
"He must be the quiet type," the driver thought. He didn’t bother the average looking fellow again. He focused on driving.
If he knew the person seated in his car was actually a disguised Aiden Vhorn, the person his daughter worshiped, one could imagine how shocked he would be.
"The investors of the Fangs and Ravenspar businesses have pulled out completely. The companies are facing severe bankruptcy and will be shut down with immediate effect this afternoon," the female anchor added.
"In other news, the Paranormal Liberation Order strikes again. They destroyed the ST Mall of HornHub city. About 40,000 civilians perished. By the time the Warriors Association arrived, the assailants had already killed themselves."
Aiden’s eyes gleamed. He knew about the Paranormal Liberation Order. Who on Endra didn’t?
There was no one on Endra who didn’t know them.
A Brutal Terrorist Organization that revealed themselves 20 years ago.
They had spread their webs across Endra, with members spread across Endra.
The Paranormal Liberation Order believed that Endra was full of an endless cycle of corruption and violence. In order for violence and conflict to stop, the world had to end. Human civilization had to come to an end.
Their aim was not to rule Civilisation. Their aim was to destroy the world and destroy themselves. They saw themselves as the saviors of the world. Only without Civilisation will true peace be on Endra.
No one knew where their headquarters was, or who their leader was. Not even the International Union, the highest decision making body of the world, knew how to find them. They would just appear cause havoc, and commit suicide. Because their members always blew themselves up completely after committing acts of terrorism, no leads had been found on them.
They were the most troublesome terrorist organization to appear on Endra. The International Union was still doing everything they could to identify their headquarters and ultimately eliminate them.
Aiden was not one to judge anyone for their ideals.
But he would not let anyone force their ideologies on him or decide his future for him. To him, the actions of the Paranormal Liberation Order, indicated that they had taken matters into their own hands to decide his future, his path, and that of everyone he cared about in their minds. Death.
"I will eventually have to eliminate them in the future, when I become a legendary rank 4 warrior. That’s if the International Union does not eliminate them first," Aiden thought.
"Oh, we’ve arrived," the driver said.
The vehicle had been on the road for the last 45 minutes.
It pulled to a stop. Aiden paid the driver, thanked him for the ride and got out of the vehicle.
