Chapter 22 - Chapter 18 (The Castle of Wulkeria (1))

Scene 1

After talk with Police on DA. I was going to sleep. I got a notification on my phone. It was an email

 

Dear Ron.

 

We are holding a gathering this Saturday. All the major and high-ranking people are invited. Please honor us with your presence and have dinner with us.

 

Location: xxxx, xxxx.

 

-Bruce W.

 

Bruce W, Hmm. One of the richest in the world. I think he heard about me from Carter's department. When's Saturday, oh, the day after tomorrow.

 

Saturday Arrives

 

Ron entered the mansion where the gathering was held. Ron was roaming and in the gathering, sensing something odd. Many people came, they were higher ups. Captain White the head of Carter's department. Mr. Jake, a man who designed futuristic tanks and nuclear weapons for armies and Carter's department. Mr. Bryan, one of the greatest healer in the world. And of course Dr. Thomas was also present. I also met a few of the high level people. I went to grab something to drink. I saw a big sized guy, he was wearing black pants, white shirt. I couldn't see his face. His face was hidden in the Dark (dark left from light).

 

I heard a voice from behind, "Welcome, If it isn't Sir Ron." It was Bruce. He welcomed me with a bright smile. He was shining. 

I saw Police and Carter at the gathering. They also spotted us. They walked towards us we and teased Carter. How the emotionless Carter finally found love.

"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Carter and Mr. Locki . Thanks for honoring us with your presence."

 

"Nice to meet you". We all spoke one by one.

 

"I meet Carter and Police all the time. But I hear about you all the time, Mr. Ron. You are also among the richest people in the world."

 

"No, no, Mr. Bruce, It's an honor for me, that you invited me. Can you show me around." I spoke.

 

"Yes, why not. Please follow me." He spoke and I started following him.

 

He showed me all the technology present in his house and showed me a machine that can mimic sunlight, and it can be converted into energy.

 

He was businessman, so he thought that about me investing. "I need time to think", I told him that. The party ended. We exchanged contacts for business.

 

As we left his mansion. Carter and I decided to spend a few days here. It was a new place for us, and wanted to explore.

 

It was late, so we headed to our hotels. I was enjoying the scenery from the balcony of my hotel room. When I looked down, I saw a group of criminals beating someone. I hid my mouth and used teleportation to confront them.

I was in front of them. One of them said, "Who the hell are you? You don't look like him. Are you his side kick?"

 

I was wearing a gentlemen's suit, and I had hidden my mouth with a skull mouth mask. They were about to attack me, Suddenly, I shadow came on us. I followed the shadow to its origin. I saw a guy dressed like a superhero, standing on top of a structure near us.

 

He jumped towards us and was about to kick me, I dodged but the criminal behind me got that kick. That kick made him unconscious. The criminal panicked, they took the guy, that received the kick and ran without looking back.

 

The superhero guy looked at me and attacked me. I can tell from his attacks that he was physically in peak human condition, and with his fighting style you can easily tell that this guy is a martial arts genius. And he was also fast.

 

I could easily dodge his attacks without using my powers. From the time I woke up, I spent 99% of my time in the gym learning, practicing martial arts and meditating. This superhero guy was like me but without powers.

 

I spoke, "You are strong. Let's see if you can handle me."

 

We began our fight, I wasn't using my powers, he was almost equal to me in terms of combat and everything else. I had an edge because of the experience I got from fighting mystical creatures.

 

I also took some beating and gave him some beating.

 

Scene 2

During our fight, we stepped back, then attacked each other. This one last strike will decide everything. My mask fell after the hit. He turned towards me; his mask also fell.

 

He was none other than Mr. Bruce. "Mr. Ron?" he spoke.

 

"Mr. Bruce? You some kind of protector of this city? I heard rumors but I didn't think about them." I spoke.

 

"Mr. Ron, to think you are this strong. Why don't you come with me." Bruce said.

 

We visited an abandoned villa, It was almost like a skyscraper. There were three buttons for bells. He hit the third bell. After a few seconds, an underground passage opened. We entered the, it was a slide.

We reached the underground place; it was like a secret base. There were large screens, supercomputers, futuristic devices (no one has ever seen) and future weapons and other things.

I saw the stairs, so I headed down. I saw his other suits and his tools. He monitored everything from this base. He kept his eye on people with powers, magical abilities. As I was exploring, I saw a gym and a training place. He trained here with high gravity.

 

I heard him calling my name, I ran toward his voice. He bought a cup of tea for me. We sat and started discussing.

 

"So, Mr. Bruce, you look like a normal adult. But you are a lot stronger." I spoke.

 

"You can call me Bruce, and to answer your question. I thought that I should help the weak people and stand for justice." He replied.

 

"What about you Ron. You are also strong." He spoke.

 

"Well, to tell you the truth. I train myself to death every day. But I am also a power user."

 

Bruce was surprised, "So, you are one of those people who can use power. I thought it were rumors that people with abilities exists. But that true. Is Carter also an ability user? If he is, that'll explain his extraordinary abilities (strength, speed, durability, stamina, endurance etc)."

 

"No, Carter is not a power user." I replied.

Bruce was surprise, "Carter and Locki are the strongest humans I have ever seen."

 

"Bruce, I want your help with something. Have you heard of someone called David Degg or DA."

 

Bruce's eyes widened, "DA?" he looked terrified.

 

I spoke, "Do you know about DA; it'll help me a lot if you tell me. He doesn't exist in any records."

 

"Almost two decades ago, when I was just a kid, my parents and other members of my family were killed by some unknown cult. Someone saved me. I was unconscious. When I woke up, I still acted to be unconscious. I opened my eyes slightly; I saw a coffin and a guy standing beside the coffin. It was those cult people, I could tell from their get ups. He was talking on the phone. I couldn't hear properly. But he said something about DA and an organization after that coffin. He said something like, "We stole it from the organization." He replied.

 

"An unknown cult? A coffin? how are those related to DA?" (Ron thinking).

 

Bruce searched on the internet for those coffin; I was sitting beside him.

 

On the internet, that story was a lot different than what Bruce said. The higher-ups manipulated the story.

According to the internet stories, a group of sea divers found two coffins deep underwater. They were empty so the government of that country disposed of them.

According to Bruce, their was only one coffin and a large organization was after it. Bruce also mentioned that those cult guy mentioned DA to someone on the phone. Does DA have some kind of relation to that coffin and that unknown cult. (Ron thinking)

 

"I'll send my boys to look into." Bruce spoke. Then I left.
