Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
-----------------
Damn, maybe I should have used that one,' E.E nearly faced palmed.
"I still do not understand what you're talking about, General. Why is the girl a problem exactly? She isn't who you came here to find," E.E decided to stop mentioning relatives or any other excuse and outright played coy.
"True, she isn't the one I am looking for..." General Reina arrived before E.E once more and stared into his eyes briefly.
"But maybe she has connections to him," Immediately after adding, she turned to the side and started walking towards Sersi.
"You don't mind if I ask her a few questions, do you?" General Reina emitted an intimidating presence while approaching.
"Uhm, without a warrant or anything that advocates a crime... isn't that against her rights?" E.E voiced with a tone that slightly hinted at trepidation.
"Just a few, friendly, simple questions. Nothing much... unless there is something to hide," General Reina turned slightly to shoot E.E a glance. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
"Haha... knock yourself out, General," E.E laughed wryly.
'I don't like where this is going,' E.E screamed internally.
General Reina proceeded to bring out a holographic tab which displayed a picture of Gustav.
"Have you seen this person before?" She questioned with a keen gaze.

Bang! Bang! Boom!
Powerful ripples spread across the air due to an ongoing battle between a trio.
Fwwhisshh~
After images could be spotted in the skies as they engaged one another powerfully. Blasts often rang out and despite being distant from the surface, the icy terrain would occasionally split and shatter from the residual energy.
No normal person could witness the ongoing battle due to their unparalleled speed as they bolted across the skies. However, on closer look, it was a two versus one-battle.
The figure in the middle was continuously deflecting blows from the other two and appeared to be doing it rather easily.
One of the two had his arms covered in rocks as he repeatedly threw fierce jabs at the figure in the middle.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The figure in between swayed his hands causally, slapping the fists away before they made contact.
His arms looked like they were moving a million times in just one second.
Bang!
He slapped the one covered in rocks away, sending him hurling across the air.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
He slammed into the icy surface below, sliding across it and forming wide crevices due to the force of the attack.
Meanwhile, the other one whose attack had also been repeatedly getting deflected now had to face the figure with dark hair alone.
"Really?" Ria's face suddenly lit up in excitement.
"Of course. I'd say you're powerful enough to contend with a Beta-ranked Mixedblood and being that powerful at such a young age means that you will be stronger than me when you're my age," Jack smiled while floating upwards.
"I'll give you two an A for effort... at least you made me use a pretty high level of strength to not only get out of that restraint but also block your attack," Jack turned around to fly away after revealing.
"Thank you!" Ria yelled but he was already gone.
"Praise from the world's strongest. Today is not a bad day," Aildris descended while speaking.
"How did you do that trapped thing?" Ria questioned with a hint of curiosity.
"Oh, that... I just bound his energy to my attack and used it to lure his essence and merge him into it. No one should be able to get out of that restraint so long as they attack it instead of evading," Aildris explained.
"But he got out of it," Ria said with a tone of confoundment.
"He is Jack Sherwin..."

Within E.E's apartment, General Reina stared down at Sersi who kept answering all her questions with 'no'.
"So you've never seen Gustav Crimson before... You don't know who he is and you have no connection to him?" General Reina voiced with her tone rising every second.
Sersi shook her head in response.
"General you said this was gonna be friendly and brief, would you please stop harassing the poor girl?" E.E voiced from the side with a tone of annoyance.
General Reina wore a smile and stood upright before turning around.
"I have checked... there is nothing," Gohan voiced from the side.
"No records, no birth certificate, no database whatsoever on this young girl. It's like she just appeared out of thin air," He added.
"How intriguing... coming into existence around the same period Gustav Crimson is suspected to be on earth. What an interesting coincidence indeed," General Reina gazed at E.E briefly to note his reaction.
E.E was quiet, seemingly racking his brain on how to respond to her.
"Since someone that doesn't exist is currently in here... I guess it wouldn't be what I do to her now would it?" General Reina suddenly reached out at that moment to grab Sersi.
"General Reina! What are you doing?!" E.E yelled while strutting forward but before he could get close, Gohan threw a glowing icy cube towards the floor before him.
Thrriinnn~
A triangular barrier of light suddenly surrounded E.E, trapping him in place.
"You use spatial abilities, right? That will keep you from interfering for a while," General Reina smiled while watching E.E bang the walls of the barrier constantly.
He tried to conjure a vortex but to no avail.
General Reina drove a fist into Seris's belly at that moment, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Sersi! Let her go, you witch!" E.E voiced out in anguish.
"Just stay in there and don't interfere," General Reina turned to face Sersi once more before raising her.
"I'm only dealing with someone who shouldn't exist."
Immediately after saying that, she threw another punch forward.
"Enough!"
