Chapter: *Severely* *Damaged*

Countless streams of light converged into a gigantic pathway in the skies, the residents of a town raised their heads into the skies.

This blinding light was almost rivaling the intense sunlight in the skies and it was very eye-catching.

Suddenly, the pathway shuddered tremendously and exploded into motes of light, dissipating in the air.

Three strange figures fell from the explosion, smoke rising from their bodies, forming a trail as they fell.

# THUDD!

They crashed into a building, kicking up thick smokes of dust and wreckage.

The residents of the building screamed in alarm and people gathered around immediately.

Suddenly, they all gave way to a black robed, old man looking like he was in his sixties, his back was hunched but the powerful undulations of a yellow ranker could be felt on him, his white eyebrows were very droopy and his eyelids had almost covered his eyes as if he was asleep.

The man placed his hand behind his back and walked rather slowly but the citizens were patient and their eyes glowed with fervor and reverence.

This old man was the Town grand elder and the most knowledgeable and viewed as the wisest.

The man walked to the front of the building and saw a huge dent of the ground, three charred figures laid there unconscious, smoke rose up from their bodies into the skies.

"Hmph? This powerful undulations!!" The man's eyes flashed open and a red glint flashed within.

The citizens felt the strong fluctuations from the old man and moved back, afraid, something might happen.

"Listen everyone! This three people here shall be given the highest treatment here and should be treated as a grade 5 guest. Treat their wounds and give them our town's best medications, understood?" The man spoke authoritatively, his voice echoing into the distance.

Immediately as if an imperial command, several youthful men in white picked up the three charred figures , their hands flashed into an incantation and bubbles appeared behind them, placed them in a purple bubble. The citizens gasped and looked at this figures in a different light.

"Could it be some powerful cultivators that met harm on the way?!"

"Grand Elder must be far-sighted to treat this people this way"

They hurriedly took off into the town's hospital.

........

Meanwhile, ripples waves of news rocked the country.

The first startling one was that, the gold-ranking President of the Sapa Nation had been attacked in his residence by the renowned Assassin Greenwood and some other mysterious people.

But it didn't take too long before people found out the names of these people.

"Roy Kent, Sharon Madison and Parker Lasso" A red robed man gazed at a bounty poster.

The pictures of Roy, Sharon and Parker was drawn right next to their names, a mind-blowing price of One million coins was offered for the head of each of them, either dead or alive.

According to the news, the president had righteously apprehended this vile creature called Greenwood but the other three attackers had luckily escaped under his nose.

But they have been issued as terrorist and should be treated as such, wanted in all major cities. This people were regarded as deadly, ruthless, sinful and vile in their practice and they must be eliminated along with their leader, Greenwood.

Luckily for Roy, Sharon and Parker, the town was rather secluded in the country, it was almost akin to a village, hardly does major news reach them and even if it does, it would take several months.

In a towering building that stretched into the skies, it's massive structure radiated an ancient aura, wafting out into it's surroundings.

The structure was constructed out of marble, that shimmered with strange light.

An enormous red cross was drawn on the surface of the building. It was spilling out a warm glow.

Anyone that comes into this glow would feel revitalized, refreshed, clear-headed and even minor injuries would start rapidly healing.

This building was naturally the general hospital of the town and it was said to be the oldest and longest standing building in the town.

Parker groaned loudly and his eyelids fluttered before cracking open slowly, his body felt exhausted and so weak to the point, he could barely raise a finger.

Parker's entire view was covered in white and he strangely found himself in a room, laying on a bed.

"Uhm.. Where am I?" Parker asked a nurse busy scribbling some texts on a paper.

The nurse abruptly raised her head and looked at Parker excited.

"Mister, Don't worry, you're in the Obsong town beside the White mountain valley, not too far from the Thunder city" The nurse replied sweetly, beaming from ear to ear.

"Obsong town?" Parker was puzzled, he had never heard of this town and this was his first time.

"In Sapa Nation?" Parker had to be certain, he was still within home borders, if not, foreign land was very dangerous.

"Yes. Please, rest a little, I will go look for doctor quickly" The nurse didn't notice the confused tone in Parker's voice and rushed out.

Parker laid on the bed with his eyes closed, the last thing, he remembered was his body being tossed into the spatial disc Greenwood had activated. The void space had crumbled into nothingness and spatial maelstroms was devouring everything, the spatial light covered him and his body felt like he was being forcefully stretched and warped, this spatial travel was even more powerful and much more stress placed on his body.

Successive explosions sounded out within the spatial light, pushing them through space. It felt as if something was intending to destroy the spatial channel and the resulting shuddering and violent shockwave knocked him out, everything going dark.

Now, the next time, he opened his eyes, he was in a strange and mysterious town, he hadn't heard before but thankfully, he was still within the Sapa Nation. Powerful spatial travels like this are very unpredictable due to the instability of the spatial channel and the explosions.

Parker wondered if Roy and Sharon had survived but from his memory, he was certain, Greenwood didn't follow them, he sacrificed himself for them to escape, he drew their attention to himself then activated the spatial disc simultaneously, that way, the mere clone of the president would be hard-k to even react on time.
