Chapter 199 - Did A Cat Eat Your Tongue?
-----
Sergeant Ivan knew very well who Noah was, and had been shocked and surprised many times with every news regarding him.
He regretted that he was not able to notice his talents before he somehow managed to get himself and his group expulsed from school, as he would have done everything he would, even force, to recruit him and make him into a fine soldier.
Even if he would have to brainwash him.
Someone so strong that was able to grow so quickly was an anomaly amongst anomalies, Noah was incredibly special in many ways, alongside all of his subordinates…
If he had managed to catch them beforehand…
But it was useless now.
Noah had grown strong, too strong now, and so did his subordinates… he had achieved the same level of strength as him in less than a month of having become a Vampire.
Of course, that was on the surface.
Noah knew that before him, Ivan was weaker, way weaker.
If he were to go all out, he would surely be able to slaughter him.
Perhaps Ivan might give a slight challenge… but even then, he could use his subordinates and gang on him, tearing him apart into pieces, and then turning him into a strong Blood Soul Servant.
However, Noah still recognized the man as someone strong.
Ivan also recognized him as someone strong, but he had authority even greater than Noah, and so, he saw him as below him, even after his exponential, insane growth.
However, his biggest regret was still not having been aware of his powers in time.
He was way too aloof with the school, as he had to overlook many that were undergoing this "filtering" process. Due to this, he was not able to notice things in time, and when he finally got to know, Noah was already out of school and had made his own Guild.
He was no longer able to control him… at least not to such an extent.
But this was the perfect opportunity for him to ridicule him and lower the impression that the people had for him.
Although Ivan had seen many geniuses through his life, he had never seen one so arrogant as Noah now.
He felt the instinctual desire to crush his delusions immediately, after all, he was going to be the one that would save the sector alongside the military, not this hatchling that hasn't even reached 19 years of age yet.
Noah was a man born in the era of the apocalypse, and never got to see with his eyes what the old society was, but Ivan was well aware of how it worked.
Those that controlled the masses control the world.
And Noah was trying to gain this, but Ivan was going to stop him before that, and ridicule him in front of the entire sector!
No matter what Noah could say, he would not be able to argue against his words, as he had yet to do what he said he would do.
Ivan planned to surpass his guild after this speech and even prohibit his ingression to the new gates due to being so disrespectful with the people, spreading lies to raise the hopes of the people they wanted to protect.
After that, if Noah were such a miserable and poor kid as he thought he was, Noah would become frustrated.
Ivan would continue to suppress him more and more… until Noah would end up kneeling before him as he brainwashed him into a fine soldier for the sector.
Ivan had planned an entire scheme right in the spot, he didn't survive through all of the apocalypses for nothing, he had the skills of both a schemer and an amazing leader and fighter.
Noah might be a genius amongst geniuses, but Ivan was the one who could even suppress these arrogant geniuses, and he was going to enjoy it thoroughly.
Or so he thought.
Noah smiled at Ivan as he knew exactly what he wanted.
He quickly crushed the microphone with his bare hands as Ivan was shocked, standing right there as he glanced at Noah.
A second after, a wave of crimson light crushed all the cameras around him.
Now, no one was recording and everyone around sector D was wondering why did the TVs suddenly stop recording everything…
Noah had simply released his Aura and a bit of his soul power, targeting all the cameras, they were crushed within seconds.
His might was clear, Ivan was left paralyzed.
"So, Sergeant Ivan, what did you wanted to say to me? I am all ears," said Noah.
"Y-You… why did you do that?!" roared Ivan, as he began to unleash his aura, which was golden-brown colored, his eyes glowing with golden light, even a pressuring force emerged around him.
However, Iris, at Noah's side, decided to unleash her Aura, although smaller than Noah, it was… even bigger than Ivan.
"E-Eh?"
A battle of Auras alone was enough to make Ivan begin to doubt what he had just planned…
Were these people really A-Rank?!
"Do you have anything to say to my husband?" asked Iris, her eyes gleaming eerily.
The two Vampires walked towards Ivan, as the old man tried to brace himself, cold sweat dripping from his neck, his eyes began to feel timid, and even his crotch felt like it was sinking… In fact, he was about to piss himself.
Noah and Iris's auras made an A-Rank almost piss himself in front of them…
The two raised their hands, as they touched his shoulder.
"So? What do you want? I made sure to take out the cameras so the people wouldn't look at you so pathetically cowering before us… What's wrong? Did the cat eat your tongue? Say something…" said Noah.
"It useless, my dear, he's completely scared of us… What a lack of manners…" sighed Iris.
"Indeed, these people nowadays… Being in the military doesn't give you the right to be so rude…" sighed Noah, as the two vampires walked away from Ivan.
"A-ah… Ah…"
Ivan kept stuttering something, Noah and Iris already walked away from him and began to summon the Vampires, and Robots in front of the people present, now that there were no cameras, it wouldn't be as widespread… but even if it were to be, they didn't really care.
As a guild with A-Rank Hunters leading it, they didn't fear any people except S-Rank… and all of them were about to be S-Rank soon anyways.
The military men ran towards Ivan who was stiff as a log glancing at the empty air, his eyes seemed sinking over his eye sockets, and his entire body was trembling a bit… he looked pale.
"Sir Ivan! What is going on?"
"Sir Ivan?!"
"Sergeant!"
"W-What happened? They just spoke to him and he just… went… vegetal…"
What they didn't know was that Noah and Iris suppressed his will with their overwhelming Auras and then Noah used his Vampiric Eyes to stupefy him for around an entire hour (his max amount of time he would stupefy someone with weak will), and also cursed his soul, his bloodline, and forcefully put a contract into him which said, "don't ever bother us".
All of that in a few seconds.
No one sane enough would even believe he could do such a thing.
Ivan was taken by the soldiers to an ambulance, where he was hospitalized.
Later on, he would wake up confused about what even happened to him… and every time he tried to remember, a paralyzing curse would hit his soul and he would enter into a vegetative state again.
Ivan had committed the terrible mistake of not having used a body and mind-enhancing skill before Noah, and was wide open for the Vampire to do whatever he pleased with him…
Noah and Iris walked towards an open area, as Noah showcased his power for everyone to see.
Now that he was strong, he did not fear much backlash and calculated that there was enough time for him to become S-Rank or even SS-Rank before any S-Rank Hunter could even come to the Sector.
Before anyone strong enough to put a threat to his current self was to come to the Sector, he would have been already way above them, alongside all of his subordinates.
Some people recorded with phones, however, but he quickly destroyed them. But he was not sure if some people from far away, could still be filming him.
Nonetheless, he raised his hand and said…
"Kin Summon…"
