THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

Chapter 16: Chaos

At the same time when James had gone to report to his father, similar actions had been carried out by other representatives of the other towers who had been present in the awakening center that day.

Members of various Towers would report the news to their Tower masters who would then proceed to inform the founders and heads of the Towers about the matter.

The many small Towers had ordered their people to only observe Ivan and the rest and not get in contact with them to avoid angering the Owen Tower, but the same was not so for the other four biggest towers that were on par with the Owen Tower.

At the residence of the head of the Lance Tower, Gareth Lance, the founder of the Lance Tower and ancestor of the Lance family stared at the Tower masters of the seven branches of the Lance Tower with a serious face. He was an old man who looked no younger than Karl Owen.

"It would be a disaster to leave that kid with the Owens if my speculations are true. Adam, you've met this kid before. Lead the others and be sure to bring back the kid at all costs!" Gareth Lance ordered.

At the residence of the founder and ancestor of the Christopher family, an old man who was of similar age to Gareth and Karl stood backing a group of people.

"I don't have any hatred with him nor do I have a favorable impression of him, even if the kid isn't related to him, his talent level and unrecorded ability are too much of a big news to leave to the Owens alone. Who knows how much the Owens will grow if they can gain the trust of a potential Demigod rank Nexulyte?

Go, get the boy at all costs!" He ordered in a plain voice.

The group of people behind him bowed in unison before disappearing.

On the opposite side of earth, the dreamscape. The Current Tower master of the Dominion Tower had come to report to the heads of the Dominion Tower who were currently residing at their base in the dreamscape.

Unlike other Towers, the Dominion Tower wasn't founded by a single person and was rather the collective of five old and powerful Nexulytes.

These five were a group of three females and two males who were of similar age to Karl and the rest.

The five of them immediately held a meeting after receiving the news.

"That dude really did not disappear huh? He actually created a monster like himself!" One of the five mumbled in a heavy tone.

"Shouldn't we do something about him in case he is related to him?" Another asked with a ferocious expression.

"We should observe the situation for now and see how the other Towers will react, everything should be under control since he was taken in by the Owen Tower but we should still keep an eye on him and his friends. After all, San Pluto is ruled by our Tower and the Owen Tower"

The third, last, and smallest major city on earth, this city was where the Ethan Tower was located. The Ethan Tower was a tower created by a group of old Nexulytes who claimed to have been helpers of the Savior of humanity during his mission to save the world back then.

Four people sat cross-legged inside a Nexus chamber, visible Nexus energy swirled around them which they absorbed at a crazy pace.

These four were the founders of the Ethan Tower.

"If the kid is truly " his" descendant, then it is only right that he comes to us!" Someone voiced out righteously.

"I agree, the Owen Tower recruiting him is clearly suspicious. That old man is not a trusted person" another person added.

"They are clearly after the talent of the kid, we should send people to San Pluto and get him"

"Agreed"

"Agreed"

"Agreed"

...

Over the following days, Ivan, Glen, and Ralph had been provided with shelter in the home of the old driver who lived with his wife and kids. His kids included the girl he had talked about and a little boy who was around fourteen years old.

On the first day of their arrival, the girl had locked herself in her room for the whole day and refused to come out no matter who tried to get her out. Only on the second day did she agree to join them for breakfast due to her little brother's persuasion.

Glen and the rest had been stunned by the beauty of the girl after finally getting to see her. She was a young woman who was about 18 or 19 years old like themselves, she was a peerless beauty with blue eyes and long blonde hair which wasn't a common sight in the outskirts.

Glen had immediately tried to get friendly with her but the girl would not respond to him no matter what or how much he chatted on and on.

Regardless of her silence, Ralph still kept part of his deal and shared their experience at the awakening center during their breakfast.

He had noticed the eyes of the girl show interest before becoming dull after hearing how a lot of people gathered around them and tried to recruit them.

'She must really dislike people ' Ralph thought to himself.

After a good two days of persuasion, the girl finally agreed to awaken.

She had ended up awakening the singer's Talent and had been shown to have a B-level talent at that. While this was not a useful ability for the towers when conquering the dreamscape, it was big news for entertainment industries and a lot of them tried to scout her.

Unsurprisingly, she had ignored all of them and came straight home with her father.

"Such a talent for a person with her personality, how unlucky?"

Glen had exclaimed after hearing the news, this had earned him a glare from the girl who later went to her room right after.

"Sigh, I also think she's quite unlucky. We'll have to give her time to get used to the change, now about the books you guys asked me to get for you" the old driver said before opening a big bag he had brought with them.

Ralph had asked him to get them books about the different towers, Nexulytes, as well as books about the dreamscape.

Unknown to them was that, during these few days of peaceful living, a lot of battles had actually been happening around them.

The battles were of course between members of various Towers who were either sent to kidnap…ahem, sorry…rescue Ivan or keep watch over them.

After five days had passed with all sides suffering losses, the various heads who took Ivan very seriously had decided to make a move themselves as it would be near impossible to get him once he left for the Owen Tower training facility.

On the sixth day of Ivan and his friends staying at the home of the driver who they now knew as old man Yamato, it was currently 10:33 pm and the world was covered in a veil of darkness with countless stars gleaming in the night sky.

At the borders of San Pluto, various figures appeared one after the other and remained floating in the air with their abilities or external support.

At the same time as these figures appeared, a group of other people opened their eyes in their respective residences before flashing out and reappearing in the air in front of these figures.

"Gareth"

"Karl"

"Myles…"

Names were mentioned for a few seconds as the people confirmed each other's identity.

On one side were the heads of the Dominion Tower and the head of the Owen Tower, while the intruders were the heads of the Ethan Tower, the head of the Christopher Tower, and the head of the Lance Tower.

Everyone numbered in a Total of twelve, six on each side.

"What have you come to our city for?" Karl Owen asked in a not-so-friendly tone as his eyes moved from one person to another, the heads of the Dominion Tower standing behind him with serious expressions as well.

"We heard the news of his descendant's appearance, we demand custody of him as his place is with us," said one of the heads of the Ethan Tower. This person was an old lady who still managed to make herself look like she was in her sixties despite being the same age as the other people present, her name was Sylvia Scott.

Karl looked at her for a brief moment before moving his eyes over to the head of the Lance family.

"Your tower failed to recruit him, he chose to join us instead so why are you here?" Karl asked Gareth Lance.

"I and "he" were on good terms and I admired him. I can't let you take advantage of his descendant!" Gareth voiced out in a serious and righteous tone.

Karl still did not answer and moved his gaze to the last person present, his eyes turned murderous as they landed on the head of the Christopher family, Myles Christopher.

The old man who was known as Myles Christopher let out a smile when he saw the gaze of Karl.

"Hehe, don't look at me like that. I only heard there was a super genius here, I only came to verify and maybe invite him if possible" he said with a short cold laugh.

Karl glared at all of them one last time before turning to look at the bright San Pluto that was well-illuminated by street lights and shining billboards despite the time being night. The city looked so successful and peaceful and he wasn't able to see the end of it despite his ability.

"We should discuss this somewhere else" Karl spoke up as a menacing wave of Nexus energy began to rise from his body.

"Oh, definitely. A nice location would be needed for this matter" Myles Christopher responded with a grin as red lightning cracked around his body.

The others also began to enter combat mode as well, hell was about to be unleashed!
