The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 250: the chosen one

Deafening silence descended on the soldiers after this, all of them felt like they were hallucinating.

Did an ape just speak? The impact of this could only be imagined.

It felt just like you went to the back of your house to catch some bugs, and a bug suddenly tells you to surrender. The goosebumps that come from that alone can be imagined; it is a completely horrifying scenario.

Perspiration escaped their sweat glands subconsciously, pouring down like waterfalls to drench their climbing clothes despite the cold weather. They were all too shocked to react.

Diana, lead everyone away!

Clark, lets dine in hell with this bastard, at least to let our subordinates escape. Dickson growled as his shield quickly materialized in his hand.

As he prepared to rush out to meet the ape, he suddenly felt a hand holding and dragging him back. He turned his head only to see Clarks lifeless eyes that were muddled in confusion.

Noticing his glare, Clark finally snapped out of his daze. Seeing the emotions in Dicksons eyes, he wanted to change his mind but thinking of how strong the king of demolition was only made him hesitate more.

If someone so strong would advise him to surrender and not resist, then this ape was really a boss-level character.

Maybe they were deceived by the king of demolition, but he didnt think that they were worthy to receive such treatment at all. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to listen to King.

His gaze hardened, he shook his head at Dickson, making the latter have a confused expression on his face.

Not waiting for his reaction, he fell to his knees. What he meant was evident, he just surrendered. He just prayed that his luck was good, if not then he just led his whole squad to death.

Dickson was shocked, Diana and Benny were even more shocked on seeing his actions.

The silence dragged on for another 30 seconds, but what happened next shocked Dickson even more. All the soldiers of the allied squad suddenly followed Clarks lead and surrendered.

Do you know what youre doing? Who told you that exobeasts understand surrender? Itll just think of us as fools and feast on us. Dickson was angered, when did a Major like Clark become so foolish?

Clark gave him a calm look. Ill take responsibility for everything that happens.

You Dickson was left speechless. He did not know what came over Clark, but he was angered beyond comprehension.

As this small banter continued, the ape was surprisingly silent, curiously watching the humans with an interesting expression on its face.

As all these happened, Josh already wriggled himself to the very back of the soldiers. Feeling the pressure that was being exuded by this exobeast, he felt that fainting now would be the best outcome for him.

Dickson was not foolish; he knew that this ape could trash the 2 of them. But why would Clark think of surrendering in such a situation?

In the end, he listened to his instinct that Clark was never wrong. He threw an accusing glare at Clark, emboldened his mind before also falling on his knee in surrender.

A wide grin suddenly came onto the apes huge face. It slowly turned and started walking away like the humans were not worth its attention, its 2 subordinates took over instead.

What shocked the soldiers was that these animals actually had huge metal chains to restrain them.

Do they do this often? Then how many humans have fell to them? Their impression of the world was turned completely upside down again.

This was why it was advisable to continue learning despite the 5 years of learning through the implant.

They never learned from their implants that an exobeast could speak the human language and that they could also restrain humans with chains like slaves. This new knowledge was completely mind-blowing.

The animals quickly chained them and yanked them away.

My shield! Dickson whined a bit as his shield was taken away by the animals. All of their weapons were taken away, not a single thing was left behind.

As they were dragged away like slaves, the letter left by the king of demolition was the only thing occupying Clarks mind. He was distracted throughout.

The only relief that came to him was that his luck seemed to work for him this time as they were not killed immediately. He could only hope for the best.

What an eventful mission this was!

A few dozen kilometers from where the Spartan/Daland allied squad were just frightened silly and captured, a black figure was swiftly moving across the heavy snow slopes.

The king of demolition had an anxious expression on his face as his figure flashed across with mind-blowing speed.

Red energy blazed fiercely from his boots, he already overloaded them as he was now running at an outrageous 120km/h speed. If focused on from afar, only afterimages could be seen in his wake.

Why will Grey Fur arrive at such a time? This is completely mad. I just hope you dont do anything to that man or you will suffer the full-blown wrath of my master.

Despite his hopes, he was still anxious, prompting him to increase his exotic boots speed further to an even more astonishing 140km/h. Now his figure was just a blur.

Grey Fur is the name of the ape who was the alpha of the animal kingdom that invaded. The ape was an exobeast that could be said to be long-time enemies with him.

Due to its craving for more territory, Grey Fur always loved invading other animal kingdoms.

Few exobeasts could match it in strength in the whole middle heights of the Himalayan ranges, which further emboldened its unbridled invasion quirk.

During one of its invasion campaigns, that was when it first met the king of demolition. Both sides clashed and King was completely trashed, he escaped by the skin of his teeth.

Though he was trashed, his bombs' wrath considerable damage among Grey Furs subordinates. Thousands of animals and dozens of lesser exobeasts died to him that day.

Since then, both parties were akin to fire and water.

The king of demolition felt relieved that he reacted fast enough. If Grey Fur caught sight of him before he disappeared, then all the Spartan and Daland soldiers were doomed.

Why are these boots not carrying me faster? Ahh! His impatience was being shown in his barely coherent questions.

After crossing thousands of kilometers, he finally started slowing down. By this time, a few hours already passed, which made him even more anxious.

He was now before a flat endless range that barely had rocks. The rocks here were flat, smoothly aligning with the ground.

He went forward another kilometer before stopping. He brought a key out of his bag, inserted it in a tiny hole on the floor before opening it.

A door suddenly materialized on his front. He removed the key from the ground and kept it back, pushed the door open before hastily rushing inside.

As soon as he entered, the door became invisible again.

Thunder, what brought you back? You rarely visit these days. A voice suddenly sounded out to him as soon as he entered through the door.

Master! Master! I met him, he needs your help now. Grey Fur has him, I dont know how long he can stay alive. King didnt even answer his masters question before he started yelling out.

Calm down, tell me whats going on.

Unlike what was expected, it was not a mansion that was behind the door, it is a cave. From the humidity of the air, it was clear that this cave was dug a few meters under the ground.

At the corner of the cave sat the man that spoke first. He was a rather old man with white flowing beards falling down his chin, his cheeks were all covered by the beards.

He was originally watching the small fishes on the nearby underground pool, but he frowned and raised his head on hearing his students flustered tone of speech.

Yes, he was the man that adopted the king of demolition after the latters parents died.

Though most of his legends circulating about were complete exaggeration, the part that his parents were embroiled in battle and only him survived was correct.

And no Everest saved him, this old man was the one who rescued him.

Who did you meet? The old man asked again, this time in a calmer tone after King sat down next to him.

I met the chosen one that you always told me about, the dream chaser. I felt the soul resonance that you always emphasized from him. King quickly answered.

Seeing the skeptical expression on his masters face, he quickly continued. Im not lying. I was also skeptical, so I decided to check if any one of the elites has met him before.

Guess what, I found the alliance tattoo on him.

Tell me everything. The old man finally dropped his complacent expression, changing it for a completely serious one.

Its like this King quickly relayed all that transpired between him and the allied squad to his master.

So its like that, he doesnt need my help then. The old man said nonchalantly after listening to everything.

King felt wronged. Master, you still dont believe me? Even if I lie sometimes, and also steal your equipment, I never lie about these types of matters.

The old man gave him a deep look. You finally confessed?

Ahem, master, thats not the important point here.

I know. The old man laughed.

If he is really the dream chaser of the prophecy, then believe in him. I dont believe that such a man can die so easily. If he dies, it just means that you made a mistake.

But I really want to see him. He sighed.

Thunder.

Yes, master.

You have an assignment now.

Kings face quickly soured.

Dont give me that face. The old man snorted as 2 gadgets materialized in his hand from nowhere.

Take these 2 gadgets. The first one is a stealth device; it will hide you from any perception and technological devices being used in this region. The second one is a high-tech camera; I want live footage, understood?

Understood. King heaved a sigh of relief. I thought you wanted to give me those your unconventional assignments again.

The old man snorted. Shoo! Leave my cave, your noise is disturbing.

King laughed as he stood up and finally left. He was confident that his judgment was right, so his masters words reassured him that Clark was probably fine.

As soon as King left, the old man stopped his pretense and gazed listlessly at the small fishes swimming disorderly.

He really appeared!

His students information shocked him, but he did his best to keep himself composed. He was anxious to know if Clark was the one and if he was in danger, but he believed that the chosen one could not die easily.

This calmed his heart a bit.

Perhaps, the conspiracy of the elites has a chance Afterall.
