Multi-Gene

Chapter 306 - Acting Weak

It was as though there was prior arrangements between the seven people. With coordinated steps, they surrounded David slowly and locked him in a circle.

David continuously tapped on his arm with his head down. As soon as the seven had form a perfect circle around him, David tapping stopped and he gazed up at the seven people.

"Do I know you guys?" David asked in a puzzled tone which actually seem sincere.

He actually couldn't recognise any of them which means that they were from other classes different from his. Since the newly admitted students were always divided into multiple classes because of the their ridiculous amount.

Sometimes, half of the students might not even meet each other through out the entire one year of study.

And David was one of them. He hadn't met this people at all even during the event which practically made them strangers.

As soon as David's voice sounded, Felicity stepped forwards as she gazed at David with not a small amount of indifference.

"We came here to help you." Although her voice sounded as though she wanted to talk softly but she still couldn't achieve that effect no matter how she tried.

David raised his eyebrows up as he glanced at the seven people around him, gauging their power level and he was a bit impressed but still they were only a tad bit impressive.

"And how can you help me?" He decided to play along with their flow.

The others exchanged glances with each other as felicity continued with her speech.

"The moment you left the landing zone, there are other groups hunting for you because they think you have some kind of treasure at hand. And also hunting you for revenge about getting killed. "

"So what do you guys want? You want to protect me from them?" David asked, obviously a bit amused about the situation.

Felicity gazed at David for a while before she responded with a nod. "That's right, we want to protect you from them and on return-"

She was immediately cut off by David as he finished her sentence for her. "And in return, you want something from me."

Felicity's gaze instantly hardened as she glared daggers at David. "You do not interrupt me whole I'm speaking!"

The atmosphere turned cold in an instant. As a dense murderous aura spread out from out from her which instantly elicited a raised eye brow from David.

He couldn't help but be surprised. It looked like this Felicity wasn't as simple as she looked.

But still, to David, who had experienced even more terrifying killing intent, hers were only child's play.

Suddenly, the dark skinned guy who looked like the captain of the group held felicity by the should which made her simmer down and she stepped backwards, to allow him to step forwards.

The leader suddenly gazed at David. His eyes even more indifferent than Felicity's but his voice was soft, making a huge disparity between them.

"You are right David. In return for protecting you, we only need 80 percent of what you stole from the Phantom Beast Master and you will home to no harm."

David was instantly stunned speechless. And he immediately affirmed the conclusion he came up with when he saw them. They were certainly here to rob him.

"And if I say no?" David responded to the black young man with a tilted head. His back still leaning against the tree.

Suddenly, the temperature dropped drastically as the gazes of the seven people turned malicious.

"Then we will have no choice but to be the ones stealing from you instead." They all instantly made their move at the same time as they grabbed at him with their fingers as planned.

They didn't dare to underestimate him as someone who could cause a Phantom Beast master to personally make a move should be a very troublesome person.

David's eyes flashed as he saw six fingers grabbing at him from all directions.

"Too slow." David shook his head but he didn't act as he remained standing in his spot.

"Bang!"

The ground beneath him cracked as six powerful arms pressed down on his shoulders like a massive boulder.

The expressions of the six people shone with a bit of confusion as they had expected David to be thorough suppressed to the ground on his knees but he was still standing quite alright under the suppressing power of six Phasers.

But there wasn't a moment of thinking as the leader spread out his fingers, sharp dark claws growing out from his finger.

With that, he grabbed at David's throat with immerse speed, holding the sharp claws right before his throat.

"Now, you only have two choices left to make. You either have to surrender what you stole from the Phantom Beast master and we will let you live or you can just die here and we search your dead corpse for the items. It's your choice to make." The dark skimmed leader's voice had turned rough, no longer maintaining the gentleman facade.

David blinked his eyes as the claws touched deeply into his throat. "I-"

He was about to reply when a loud voice sounded a few meters away. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

A blonde man walked out of the bushes with nine people walking beside him. They instantly surrounded the dark skinned young man's group.

"Now things are getting a lot more interesting." David muttered under his breathe.

The seven people immediately reacted as they stood defensively around the leader who was still holding David's throat but was currently behind him.

"Bane." The blond man called out.

"Mitch." The dark skinned man also called out.

The atmosphere was turning increasingly tense as the two groups stared at each other with killing intent. Obviously on the verge of fighting it out with each other.

"You are being outnumbered Bane. You should retreat while you can and hand that guy over to me." The blond man gazed at Bane with a threatening tone.

"Numbers doesn't mean anything Mitch. My team is obviously stronger than yours. You should retreat while you still can. If we fight it out here, this guy would escape and we don't what that do we?" Bane replied.

Mitch squinted his eyes softly as he gazed at Bane.

Suddenly, his body suddenly faded like a smoke and he appeared in the air above Bane and David.

The air trembled and a sharp howl screamed through the air as Mitch punched downwards towards Bane's head as though he wanted to crush it into a pulp.

Bane wasn't flustered at all. It was as though he had expected the attack which means the two people are clearly familiar with each other.

Bane twisted David's body and shifted him backwards with his claws still holding David's throat while he used his other hand and slashed ferociously at the incoming punch.

"Clang!"

The wind howled loudly and Bane retreated with David in tow while Mitch was sent flying backwards in the air before stabilising himself when he landed on ground.

As this happened, the two teams took action without delay.

With this, the battle between the two team immediately started.

The ground rumbled and the jungle shook violently as tress where being ripped out, broken, and smashed against. It a was very chaotic scene to behold.

David was constantly being made to retreat as Bane also retreated under the ferocious attacks of Mitch.

Bane couldn't retaliate and he was being made to retreat since he was still holding David with one hand and struggling to fight off Mitch's attacks with his other hand which was proving difficult for them both.

Suddenly, Mitch retreated and his body swayed violently as a trumping sound sounded out from his body showing how insanely fast and powerful he was moving his muscles.

In that moment, another two identical figures emerged at Mitch's left and right side but the two figures were all wearing very dull expressions which made them very easy to differentiate between the true Mitch and the clones.

But the real Mitch instantly changed his expression to look very much like that of his clones. By now, there was no way one would be able to differentiate between the true Mitch and the clones. This was obviously not a combat technique as a combat technique couldn't produce real clones but after images.

But from the look of thing, it's obvious the ability was gotten through luck. Mitch should have luckily gained the ability from a genetic nucleus of a Mutated beast.

The three figures suddenly vanished and they all appeared before Bane as the three of them released a very powerful punch.

The air instantly compressed around the three fist, producing some sort of a mini whirl wind around the fist. It was certainly not a normal fist but a powerful combat technique.

Bane's expression changed drastically. And he knew he would only be courting death if he received the punch with only one hand.. He has no other choice but to release David from his claws.
