RISE OF EROS

Not much could be seen from the window because not only was it far away, but the smoke blocked the whole scene, yet the sounds of explosions were as clear as the crowing of roosters in the morning.

Stepping back for a few seconds. After Arturios disappeared from the Heavenly Palace office in seconds he arrived at Silvio's office. The latter was sitting in front of his desk reviewing some documents, when he heard, "So you are the spy of Tripia's kingdom."

Silvio was caught off guard and for that reason instead of denying the accusation or acting scared or confused, to try to justify himself, what he did was to run away because at that moment he could only think that he had been discovered.

He moved at great speed towards the window, with the objective of escaping, but Arturios did not allow it, and waving his hand, an invisible force shot out and impacted Silvio sending him flying along with part of the wall of the building.

The commotion frightened nearby passersby, who fled the scene at great speed. However, the experts hiding in the red-light district were doing the opposite. They were watching carefully what was happening because they could feel the power of Arturios.

Silvio was strong, but he was still one level below Oliver and Arturios could beat Oliver in one hit, that's the difference in power between the two. Despite this difference, Silvio seemed very used to running away, as he somehow managed to dodge Arturios' attacks while retreating.

All the experts watching the fight were puzzled by the situation. They could not believe that a man of Silvio's level could dodge Arturios' attacks, but the more powerful ones had already identified the reason.

Silvio certainly had very impressive escape techniques, but it wasn't really that he could escape from Arturios. What was happening was that Arturios was holding back with the intention of getting Silvio out of the city, where he could fight to his heart's content without worrying about collateral damage.

Silvio didn't seem to have noticed this and with a smug grin, believed that Arturios really couldn't stop him. He confidently fled outside the city where he believed he could escape more easily under the cover of night.

Unfortunately, Arturios stopped playing the moment he saw that they were out of town. When Silvio wanted to speed up his run, to reach a small nearby forest and lose sight of Arturios, the latter raised his power to the maximum and soared into the sky.

When Silvio saw that Arturios could fly, his expression froze because he knew the implications of being able to fly. Only the great experts had this ability and knowing this, he understood he had no chance of escape.

It wasn't that he gave up easily, it was that the difference in strength was the size of the distance between heaven and earth. At that moment, Silvio understood that it wasn't that Arturios couldn't catch him, it was that he was making him leave the city.

Arturios from the sky looked at the frozen Silvio and smiled, however, he was not lenient and raised his hand. Silvio was frightened at the sight of Arturios' actions and wanted to run, but before he could take the first step, Arturios lowered his hand and a powerful force struck him.

Silvio felt as if the gravity around him had increased about 1,000 times and unable to withstand the pressure, he was buried a few meters underground. The terrain had changed and if you could see everything from above you could notice that on the ground you could see the shape of a giant hand.

Arturios slowly descended, without letting his guard down to where the unconscious Silvio was, and with a wave of his hand a luminous rope appeared and imprisoned Silvio.

All the experts watching the battle from a distance cowered their necks at the sight of Arturios' power. They had all heard rumors about him but had never seen him in action and now they knew, that the protector of the empire was not a person to joke with.

From the moment Arturios appeared in Silvio's office until now, only about 5 minutes at most had passed and the battle was already over. In the Heavenly Palace, the only one who had a notion of what was going on was Oliver because he is a powerful warrior.

For this reason, everyone was asking him what was going on, but when Oliver declared that the battle was over in one fell swoop, everyone swallowed hard because up until a few minutes ago Arturios was in the Heavenly Palace and they couldn't help but think what would have happened if he decided to destroy them.

A shiver ran through the body of everyone in the office, Andrew included. Arturios' arrival in the red light district was like a magnitude 10 earthquake, short-lived, but devastating.

He had not caused much damage, but the impression he left on those who observed was not simple. It must be said that, in the red district, as well as in the marginal region, there are many people making plans with the aim of causing trouble to the empire, but many of them shrugged their necks and resigned themselves when they saw the strength of Arturios.

That was the power of a great expert. The power to destroy the ambitions of many just by showing a little of his power. Oliver who saw Arturios capture and take Silvio sighed wearily and said, "Silvio has been captured".

Everyone hearing Oliver's words, like him, sighed wearily because it had been a tiring day and the day was still long, especially since the opening of the dance room would be tonight.

Andrew noticed everyone's tiredness and said, "I think you'd better go get some rest. We have the dance room opening today and you guys look terrible."

Obviously, Andrew was talking about Carolina, Helena, and Aki, as Marie and Oliver didn't have the luxury of resting at this time. The three girls wanted to refuse, but Andrew interrupted them, "I said sleep. Girls don't be stubborn, go and get some rest."

Reluctantly the three girls went to rest. Accomplishing this, Andrew looked at Oliver and said, "I think we should visit Nadila," to which Oliver replied, "Yeah, I think so too."

As Andrew and Oliver prepared to visit Paradise Pleasure House, to meet Nadila, several miles away from the capital, Milton was riding along in a caravan of wagons that had cages with animals and slaves of different breeds.

He had no idea that they had been discovered and that Silvio had been captured, so he continued with his mission as planned. At some distance from the caravan, the Shadow's agent who had followed him all the way was watching.

Suddenly, this agent sensed a threat and quickly went on guard. In front of him appeared 5 men dressed similarly to him and there was also a man covered by a completely black hood.

This was Demon, the most powerful intelligence agent and assassin of the Cannaris Empire. Shadow's agent instantly understood that the hooded man was the leader and that he was extremely powerful, but he was not the one who spoke.

"We are the team sent directly by the king to eliminate the threat. Are you Mr. Andrew's agent?" asked one of the five men behind the hooded man.

"Yes, I am. The threat is the caravan going over there," said Shadow's agent without hesitation. Normally he wouldn't give up information like this, but right now he was outnumbered and the hooded man gave him a bad vibe, so he didn't want to risk it.

Shadow's agents were trained to take secrets to the grave, but this information wasn't important and both Andrew and Oliver had emphasized prioritizing their safety, so the Shadow's agent handed over what he knew right away.

The new arrivals, not bothering to ask any more questions, simply disappeared. Although the Shadow's agent could also disappear into the shadows, he was still surprised to see how these men did it, as they were leagues above him.

By the time he came out of his surprise, he looked at the caravan Milton was leading, only to find utter destruction. The Shadow's agent ran to the scene at high speed, to see what had happened, but unlike Milton's body which could not be found, all the others were dead.

The young Shadow agent was surprised because it was only a few seconds of distraction and it was all over. A cold sweat ran down his back at the thought of such terrifying people.

The events in the red light district spread like wildfire, but they only knew that two experts had fought, very few knew who they were and the reason for the fight, so strange rumors began to form.

Meanwhile in the dungeon of the castle, Silvio and Milton were tied with special metal shackles to a table. Both were unconscious, but this would be perhaps the last moment in which they would have peace, because in front of them was Demon ready to start the "Interrogation".
