Chapter 63. Red Notice
Southern Continent.
Eldorath Empire.
Hessington State.
Derulo City.
Danger Zone.
Military outpost.
Two individuals were currently standing on top of the walls of the fortress.
Suddenly, vibrations shook the earth.
" What the hell is that?" One person said.
They looked up.
A very large bird like creature screeched.
" Shit... sound the alarm."
*****
Aiden stepped out of the VR room.
A large crowd had gathered in the lobby. There were almost nine hundred people in the large lounge.
He saw Desmonda, Asmodues, Seraphina, Candice and Luke among them. "What are these guys doing here?"
Aiden stared at the screens.
He was displayed on it.
He was quite shocked.
" Is this why these guys have all gathered here?"
Quietly, he slipped away.
" Look, he’s out!"
" Let’s invite him to join our society!"
" Damn it, where did he go?"
" We were not fast enough."
" I want to get an autograph."
" Snap out of it girl, what’s he, a celebrity?"
" As if you don’t want to get in his pants?"
The crowd eventually dispersed.
Some decided to head to Aiden’s villa.
They included society presidents from top tier societies.
These were part of the top 100 of the Heavenly Ascension ranking list!
They were all fourth year students. They were rank 2 warriors.
As for the society presidents who were rank 1 warriors, they could only sigh and leave.
There was no way they’d stand a chance against the society presidents who were rank 2 warriors.
They could only attempt to send online invitations to Aiden Vhorn.
Very soon, 80 society presidents were gathered outside Aiden’s villa.
Desmonda, Asmodeus, Luke, Candice and Seraphina were surprised. They had followed the crowd here to see how things will play out.
Obviously, knowing Aiden, he’d reject their offers.
They were shocked though by what they saw when they arrived.
Rank 2 warriors, fourth year students and top rankers on the Heavenly Ascension ranking list, were crowded outside Aiden’s villa like a bunch of paparazzi waiting for a celebrity to come out so they could get a story from him.
It was very surreal and shocking.
These people were literally at the head of the food chain among students in the university.
Yet they were here to try and recruit an advanced rank 1 warrior into their societies.
"It’s only natural, considering what he has pulled of," Candice said.
" Indeed," Asmodues said. "Mum just sent me a test message to ask if it’s really true."
" News has travelled that fast?" Seraphina said. "Well, this is bound to happen. He has broken the records set by a legendary rank 4 warrior after all."
" Just got a text too," Luke said.
" Same," Desmonda said.
" Anyway, what do we do now that we are here? Do we knock on his door or?" Seraphina asked.
"I don’t think he’s here," Desmonda said. " Knowing Aiden, had he been here, he would have probably politely rejected their offers and sent them off. Guy hates Drama."
"You seem to know so much about Aiden, Desmonda," Seraphina scratched her chin.
"I’m just naturally perceptive," Desmonda shrugged.
" Keep decieving yourself," Asmodeus replied.
" What’s that supposed to mean?" Desmonda said.
"Time will tell," Luke winked at her.
" What’s wrong with you guys?" Desmonda shook her head. What kind of crazy thoughts were these guys having?
Suddenly, they saw someone walking towards the villa from a distance.
He was clad in a t shirt, long coat,jeans and sneakers.
He was eating some barbecue without a care in the world.
Aiden Vhorn.
He had a casual and serene expression on his face.
The group of five were shocked. This guy was very strange.
He had just done something earth shattering and the next thing he did was to grab a barbecue and casually enjoy it as if the uproar on campus had nothing to do with him?
Aiden eventually arrived before the group of five.
" Hey guys. What’s up," He said with a casual smile.
It was hard for the group to connect the fellow they watched in the gravity tower to the harmless looking fellow before them.
The group gestured him to look towards his entrance.
Aiden sighed.
" Excuse me," He said politely.
He proceeded towards the entrance.
The society presidents saw him approaching.
" Ladies and gentlemen, how may I help you?" Aiden said politely.
Glints flashed through their eyes.
Someone stepped forward.
" Mr Vhorn, I’m the president of the Tatara Society. Im an advanced rank 2 warrior, ranked 11 on the Heavenly Ascension ranking list. I would like it if you join us.."
Aiden nodded.
" These guys are all powerful," Aiden thought.
" Are you all here for the same reason ladies and gentlemen?"
" Yes, we are," They replied.
" I’m grateful for the offers. But I have no intentions of joining any society now or in the foreseeable future. Thank you for coming by," Aiden replied.
They nodded.
" Thank you for taking the time to accomodate us," They said.
As expected, Aiden Vhorn refused their offers.
But it was worth the try.
They quietly walked off and left the place as soon as they had arrived.
None of them threathened him.
"They are not holding grudges? Interesting," Aiden thought.
Desmonda and the others were quite surprised by the development.
The society presidents did not threaten Aiden.
As expected of fourth year students in the top 100. They had a completely different worldview of things.
To them, not offending Aiden was better than offending him.
The group exchanged a few casual conversations with Aiden after the society presidents left and left for their villas.
Aiden entered his villa.
Before he even sat down, a loud alarm rung across the place.
[ To all Warriors of Derulo City. Red Notice! Chaotic beast Tide suspected. Initiate Emergency Protocol! Warriors, prepare for action. Warriors, prepare for action]
" It’s a chaotic beast tide."
" Seriously, now of all times?"
" There’s no time to waste!"
" Damn it!"
Across the university, several voices of students reverberated across the place.
Suddenly, every student’s watch buzzed.
[ Emergency mission received. All students head into Derulo City and slaughter as many chaotic beasts as much as you can. Contribution points will be awarded depending on kill count and ranks of creatures killed. Failure to comply will lead to immediate expulsion]
Every student saw the notification.
" A red notice means the military fortress at the danger zone has been breached by chaotic beasts. Chaotic beasts have entered the city.
This is why they are saying we should head into Derulo City and slaughter as many chaotic beasts as much as we can. A good opportunity to harvest as much blood essence as I can," Aiden thought.
He stepped out of his villa.
His blood materialised before him. Some of the blood turned into crimson wings and attached themselves to his back. Some of the blood turned into a crimson armor and covered his figure completely.
He shot out of campus.
