Jin Sung stared at Brugdath as he grinned. "Are you ready for a rematch?"

Brugdath stared back and said: "I'm ready!"

They stared at each other for a while before they started to laugh.

"Haha, Brugdath we have a guest to please, we can't fight right now," Jin Sung laughed as he tapped Brugdath's shoulder a few times.

Brugdath laughed. "You are right we shouldn't -"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jin Sung sent three punches to Brugdath's face before he sent a right hook into Brugdath's jaw and finished with a left hook towards the short man's ribs.

Brugdath stepped back as he groaned in pain. He stared at Jin Sung, grinned, and said: "That's cheating!"

Brugdath charged at Jin Sung and give him three jabs in the face with quick succession. Jin Sung groaned in pain before he kicked brugdath in the face.

Brugdath easily dodged the kick and charged at Jin Sung again.

Left hook, right hook, left hook.

Jin Sung stumbled back and roared. He charged towards Brugdath.

Jab, flying spinning kick, side kick, roundhouse kick, uppercut, and he ended with a strong push kick sending Brugdath flying past the railing of the balcony.

"f**k you, Jin Sung!" Brugdath's voice echoed as he started falling to the ground.

"I'm not done yet!" Jin Sung dashed and leaped off the building like he was skydiving.

Jin Sung went on a pencil dive, closing the distance with Brugdath before he grabbed Brugdath's collar.

"f**k! You really are a crazy bastard!" Brugdath twisted and turned his body in mid-air as he dodged Jin Sung's attack.

Brugdath remained calm and composed, he narrowed his eyes as he waited for the opportunity to strike.

Jin Sung grabbed Brugdath by the back of his neck and knee him on the jaw, but Brugdath quickly reacted by punching Jin Sung on his neck. Jin Sung grimaced in pain as he shouted: "f**k!"

Jin Sung kick him in the chest, sending him flying a distance away from Jin Sung before-

Boom!

A sudden explosion, like an erupting volcano. Jin Sung and Brugdath were blown away by the shock wave, they rolled several times in the air before falling to the ground.

Jin Sung and Brugdath stood and looked. The top of the building had been destroyed and burned, Jin Sung could see the red flames as they danced and swirled in the wind.

"They're not gonna survive that right?" Jin Sung asked, his eyes still fixed on the building.

"I don't think so," Brugdath had cold sweat on his forehead as he replied. Jin Sung said this was the bomb that was planted on his shoulder, looking at the destruction it produced, Brugdath was grateful he surrendered to Jin Sung.

"You think so? Well, just in case, let's just add more who knows what will happen," Jin Sung casually said before he raised his left arm to his mouth and said: "Fire!"

Mortar shells covered the sun before falling on top of the building and creating explosion after explosion as it hit the building.

The flames were increasing as they were getting bigger and bigger as if they wanted to pierce the sky. Jin Sung and Brugdath could feel the heat from where they were standing and it felt like they were being grilled.

"That will kill them right?" Jin Sung said, the mortar shells still rain on the buildings with explosions constantly destroying the building.

"Yes, I think it will," Brugdath nodded while he stared at the building as it was bombarded with mortar shells.

Jin Sung nodded in satisfaction before he raised his left arm and said: "Stop!"

The rains of shells stopped with the last mortar plunge on top of the building before it exploded, shooting countless shrapnels everywhere.

Brugdath looked at the wrecked building and turned his head to Jin Sung. "Didn't you say this building was expensive to build?

Jin Sung's mood plunged to the ground just like a mortar shell as he hunched his back. " It's also expensive to fix."

In the capital of the Theulux Empire, Nova Vox. Inside a large luxurious room with several Silk Leather sofas surrounding a Twisted Wood table sat, three people.

One was a middle-aged man with skinny figures and a pair of earrings. He looked at the woman across from him and said: "Any news?"

The woman still had a dull gray robe covering her body, although she could not hide her beautiful figure, only her lips could be seen because the rest of her face was covered by the hood of her robe.

"The Troops that we send to BrinePort are well received. The 8 cultivators you sent to Xiangwei are already dead." Her voice was flat yet soft, it felt like she felt no concern about it or anything at all.

"We have underestimated the rebel forces," Rigast flatly said. He took his exquisite cup of tea and took a sip before he exhaled and said: "We should send the army to Xiangwei immediately,"

Krozor looked at the fat man who, after drinking the tea, took a sugary cookie and munched it with his teeth. Sometimes Krozor wondered if that fat man had only come here for the cookies.

"Then what about BrinePort if we attacked Xiangwei wouldn't BrinePort try to attack us?" Krozor asked.

"You're mistaken, Krozor,"

"How am I mistaken?" Krozor asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"It's not our army that we will send to Xiangwei but BrinePort's army," Rigast took another cookie and inspected it before he said: "After that, we will take BrinePort for ourselves,"

Crunches!

Rigast bit the cookie as it crunched between his teeth.

"Brugdath had betrayed the Emperor and joined the rebel forces," The woman in grey suddenly said before turning silent once again.

Rigast was about to take another cookie but stopped his hand and looked at Krozor. "Now we know how they win," Rigast said.

"No, Brugdath is only 1 person, he at most could fight two of the same cultivation," Krozor said as he ruminated.

"Then we don't need to change the plan," Rigast was sure that his plan would work, if BrinePort attacks the rebel forces, BrinePort city will be weakened and he could take the city with the army, that's like killing 2 magic beasts with one arrow.

Krozor groaned in doubt, he didn't think that the solution would be that simple.

Knock! Knock!

"I'm here to deliver food sir," a man from outside the room said.

The man got no answer, he was confused and was about to knock on the door again before realizing it was already open, a fragrant smell entered his nose before entering the room.

The man looked left and right; golden pillars with a dragon flying in the cloud painted over them held the room firmly in place. He looked up and saw an exquisitely crafted chandelier with the most expensive crystal of light the empire ever had, it was placed in its designated socket, perfectly in the middle of the chandelier. And below are three people who are anything but ordinary.

The man had a calm expression on his face as he subtly smiled and confidently approached the table and set the tray of food elegantly.

He stood up straight and said: "Your Dark Cocoa chocolate, sir," the man bowed respectfully and left.

Krozor nor Rigast didn't even look at the man as they kept their silence during his presence.

Rigast glanced at the food tray filled with all kinds of chocolate bars, one even had nuts in them.

"I think we should use all of our military might to destroy the rebel forces," Krozor said after he ruminated.

Rigast picked the chocolate bar, the one filled with nuts, and said: "Yes, and BrinePort's army must be included," Rigast bit the chocolate bar and chewed. "Hmm. this is nice,"

Krozor glanced at Rigast who was very happy while he chewed the chocolate. Krozor sighed, sometimes he felt that he's the only one that was serious about this, one was a fat man who likes to eat and one was a girl that never wanted to discuss anything.

Krozor leaned back on the sofa before glancing at the food tray. The chocolates looked good and he had never eaten them before. A bite wouldn't hurt, I guess, Krozor thought. He bent down and leaned forward to get a chocolate bar. Krozor turned the chocolate over a couple of times to examine it before bringing it to his nose and smelling it.

Krozor could smell the sweet scent of the chocolate. It was mixed with notes of vanilla, banana, and vinegar. The smell alone evoked strong cravings from Krozor who was not very fond of sweet things.

It's weird, Krozor thought. He felt an appetite for sweet food of which is very unusual as his daily food was mostly meat and other food that's packed with protein. Krozor glanced at the chocolate once again before he brought it closer to his mouth and took a small bite.

Clack!

A small part of the chocolate snapped as Krozor chewed and carefully tasted it. It was sweet and gooey, as he continued to chew Krozor found new kinds of aroma permeating into his nose, it was toasted nuts and roasted coffee.

Krozor was awed by the variety of taste and smell a chocolate bar could give in a single bite, he gulped to swallow the chocolate and moved his tongue left and right to shave off the sticky chocolate.

Krozor was happy and he looked at the chocolate bar wanting to take another bite. He brought the chocolate closer slowly once again, just as he was about to take another bite -

Thud!

Krozor slammed the chocolate into the floor as he stared at it with narrowed eyes.

"You didn't like the chocolate?" Rigast said as he picked another bar. Rigast was just about to take a bite before he was interrupted.

Krozor glanced at Rigast and said: "I think you should stop eating that,"
