Asura Conqueror

Chapter 48: Arriving in Estra

Mitz looked at the Vermillion haired kid and the black-haired man.

He thanked them in a sincere tone. "If you people didn't take Zoey in, who knows what the other people might have done to her."

"It was nothing. We also needed to ask a couple of things about Estra." Marcus politely smiled.

Mitz noticed an air of royalty from the boy. He couldn't help but ask, "I'm sorry if this question is quite blunt but, are you from a royal family?"

Mitz has lived for more than 90+ years. He has traveled across different countries that were ruled differently. As someone from a high-class family, it is only normal for him to accompany his father when he was younger during business trips.

It was all to prepare him to lead their company. He didn't like it though so he gave up the position and passed it to his younger brother.

Having to smile at different people every single day even though you don't want to does not feel like life for him. He likes to be out more on the field.

Zoey was shocked by his question. She too had doubts about the boy's background.

Being absurdly strong at that age is close to impossible, neigh, impossible. Even the strongest and richest family in Estra, the Strongwald's does not have the talent nor resources to grow this kind of monster.

Eva and Nexus looked at Marcus, wondering what he'll say.

Marcus nodded, "Yes, I am. My name is Marcus, Marcus Kauffman."

Marcus extended his right hand. A proper human greeting.

Zoey, though she quite expected his answer, was still shocked.

'Kauffman? Kauffman? Have I ever heard that before?' Mitz thought while he too extended his right hand.

"No one knows about it though." Marcus smiled as they shook hands.

Mitz unconsciously swallowed his saliva that was gathered in his mouth. He doesn't know why but he felt threatened just now. Not by the words but by looking at the smile, by the aura the kid brings out. He could clearly feel that the kid is only a rank 3 Elite but the sense of danger never left his body. It sent shivers down his spines.

One thing was etched into his mind though and that was to never tell anyone about this boy. He doesn't know that someone might be guarding him in the dark.

Marcus pulled his hand back and went to stand beside his friends.

Mitz was about to bow his head before he managed to stop. He shook his head.

'Why the fuck was I just about to bow my head to a kid.'

'You don't have to be ashamed. People who are mightier than you even kowtowed for 500 years in front of his gate once.' Nexus thought as he looked at Mitz who was about to bow his head.

Mitz looked at the other two but they didn't say anything. The woman just smiled and the other one who wore boxer shorts and a sleeveless shirt didn't even bother smiling. He just flatly looked at him.

"I have to go back to the Bridge. I can't be away for too long." Mitz said as he looked at Zoey, "Once we arrive in Estra you're coming with me. We're going to see your father right away."

Zoey nodded. She didn't mind seeing her father as she would tell him to go put the engagement in his ass.

Mitz left. leaving only the four original people in the room and the guards.

"You're from a royal family? Which country?" Zoey asked.

Marcus nodded, "I already told you I'm from a far away place haven't I."

"No wonder you're that powerful." Zoey stared at him.

"Alright, why don't you tell us about Estra first." Eva interjected. Zoey already told her but she hasn't told the boys yet.

"Oh, okay. Let's see, where do I start? Oh, uh, Estra has 8 big cities. Its capital is Estra City. The eastern part of the city is the sea where the boulevard is located. It's something Estra is famous for. Morning exercise and relaxing are a few of the activities you could do there. There are also restaurants just right across the street. The food tastes delicious and Estra specialties are seafoods. The best street foods can also be found at the northern part of the boulevard." Zoey began introducing Estra to the three.

Marcus, Nexus, and Eva just listened.

She continued "There are 4 big schools in the city. The most prestigious one is Estra University. It's where rich families usually go and study. A lot of people here are party animals which is why there is one part of town where bars and nightclubs are all built. But for the more luxurious and prominent bars, they could be built anywhere in the city. Though, there are only a few of those. I think that's it" Zoey tried to recover the air she lost after her long dialogue.

"Where can we buy a house?" Marcus asked

Zoey tilted her head a bit and looked up, "Oh, here. She's the best broker I know."

Zoey gave Marcus a business card.

Marcus thanked her and went back to his room.

'A prince huh?' Zoey thought as she followed Eva back to her room to continue talking.

Inside the Destrucstone

Marcus is in the training room. It has an area of 3000 square meters and it also has some ready built-in moving dummies which you could adjust the speed in the entrance.

Marcus stood in the center. His breathing was calm. He's surrounded by a couple of dozen dummies right now which are at rank 1 late-stage Commander. They don't really attack, they just bash you.

Marcus opened his eyes. Lightning coursed through his arms as he dashed forward. He activated the stone of destruction as he quickly punched a nearby dummy.

They all moved. He casted lightning rune on the ground and then quickly transformed into lightning as he pierced through one of them. The one who stepped on the rune was badly damaged after the explosion. The ones near it were damaged as well.

The dummies chased Marcus around as he ran. Killing a few from time to time. He zipped upwards and channeled 'Vermillion Burst'. He canceled 'Lightning From' and aimed his arms towards the dummies below him. His mana is being used up at an unimaginable rate. After a second when he was a bit closer to the ground he fired it.

Vermillion colored lightning gushed from his palms. It destroyed every dummy underneath him.

They were already really close to Estra. Only an hour or so away. He was so excited that he needed to get some of it out of his system. So he trained here for a little while.

He stood in the pile of charred dummies lying on the charred floor.

Marcus took a long bath in the ship before going out of his room. They were only a few minutes away from landing as they arrived in Planet Ovisa quite some time ago. The place was where the Country Estra was located.

They went out together with Zoey since there were no windows that could get a good view of the outside.

They found a spot and looked at the city that was below them.

Situated near the body of water, plenty of buildings stood really tall that you think it'd touch the sky.

Marcus had a smile on his face as he watched the scenic view

'Estra City, here I come!'

Estra University

In a meeting room, there were a few dozen professors seated. They were talking about what activities to do when the school year opens. They are also introducing new profs.

A woman stood up. She slightly bowed her head, which made her short hair cascade downwards.

She introduced herself. "Hi, my name is Emily Lux."
