Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye

Meanwhile, in the center of Celephais City.

On the rooftop garden of the Tower of the Heavens, two young men dressed in luxurious attire stood by the edge. One of them was holding a pair of binoculars, scanning the direction of the central square.

"As expected, just like Zenith Technology Company said." When he saw Luca finish off the Hurricane Eagle King with a single blow, Zadownlow lowered his binoculars and a smile appeared on his face.

"So this is the one who killed Zahilter’s grandfather? He doesn’t look all that impressive." The man beside him spoke with a soft, almost feminine voice.

This man had shoulder-length hair, fair skin, and handsome features. He wore a red suit, and as he spoke, he idly played with his purple nails. His tone and expressions had a certain delicate quality.

"Don’t underestimate him." Zadownlow placed his binoculars on the table and said, "Though I don’t know the details, this kid’s strength has clearly dropped significantly."

"His strength dropped, and yet he still killed Hurricane Eagle King?" The soft-spoken man’s face lit up with interest as he asked, "Should I go meet him? It would be a good chance to avenge grandfather."

"No need." Zadownlow waved his remaining arm dismissively and replied calmly, "I’ll take care of him. After all, such a good chance for revenge doesn’t come around often."

The delicate man, Lusty, chuckled lightly but said no more. Instead, he simply added, "Don’t forget the mission. Zenith only wants him alive."

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." Zadownlow nodded slightly and was about to turn to leave when his expression suddenly changed!

Boom! With a loud crash, the glass door at the garden entrance shattered, and two heavily built black-suited bodyguards were sent flying in. A young man holding a long blade stepped on the broken glass and walked in with steady steps.

"Tell me where Zenith’s people are, and I’ll make your death more painless." Luca said with a calm expression, holding a colorful crystal fragment in his hand – a shard of the primal crystal.

When Luca saw this object with the Hurricane Eagle King, he was momentarily surprised. He hadn’t expected to find something like this here. Then it occurred to him why the monster had appeared, and his Perception soon picked up on Zadownlow’s presence.

That was also the reason why he was here now.

Upon seeing Luca’s figure, both men were taken aback, surprised that someone so far away could detect their presence. However, they quickly regained their composure.

"I haven’t come looking for you yet, and here you are, coming to me instead." Zadownlow’s hand conjured a black crystal staff, and a cold, murderous light flickered in his eyes. "I’ve been holding a grudge over that arm of mine."

Lusty, standing nearby, also conjured a long blade in his hand, eyeing Luca with keen interest. "If you’re willing to kneel and beg for mercy, I might forgive the offense you’ve caused earlier."

"Is that so?" Luca’s eyes flickered for a moment.

The next instant, his figure disappeared from where he stood, reappearing right in front of Lusty.

"Boom!!" The sole of Luca’s 43-size shoe slammed into Lusty’s abdomen, sending him flying backward. The red figure soared through the air like a kite with its strings cut, crashing toward the ground from the rooftop.

Luca sneered, "If your strength isn’t enough, don’t talk so arrogantly. It just gets you a beating."

The relaxed expression on Zadownlow’s face vanished completely, replaced by a look of grim focus. He had failed to track Luca’s movements just now. How could this guy still possess such formidable strength?!

"Your turn now," Luca said, turning to face Zadownlow. "I’ll ask you one last time: where are Zenith’s people?"

"You’re dreaming…" Zadownlow sneered, but before he could finish, a shadow flickered before him, and a tremendous force suddenly slammed into his face.

Luca’s massive palm imprint collided with Zadownlow’s face, forcing his entire body into the floor. The immense force shook the entire building, causing the floor beneath them to collapse with a deafening crash.

Boom!! As dust billowed around them, the two of them crashed through several floors, falling a good seven or eight stories before finally coming to a halt. Zadownlow lay on the web-like fractured floor, blood pouring from his mouth. He looked up at Luca, who was slowly standing, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible…" Zadownlow could hardly believe it. Just a single exchange, and he was already defeated. If it had been before, Zadownlow might have understood, because Luca’s strength was clearly a tier above theirs. But now, Luca’s aura felt at least half as weak as it used to be. And yet, he had still lost!

"You said the same thing last time." Luca’s magic runes slowly dissipated as he looked down at the so-called genius before him. He spoke calmly, "I remember telling you before, there’s nothing impossible in this world."

As his words fell, Luca stepped on Zadownlow’s other uninjured arm. With a sharp crack, the bones in Zadownlow’s arm snapped. His eyes widened in shock.

"Aaahhh!!" A spine-chilling scream echoed through the entire building.

Zadownlow’s arm bent into an unnatural curve. The pale white bones pierced through the skin, and blood gushed out. The newly acquired staff he had been holding fell to the floor.

Luca appeared indifferent to the scene before him. He pressed harder with his foot and calmly asked, "So, are you going to speak or not?"

Zadownlow’s face contorted with pain and his eyes burned with fury as he glared at Luca. His teeth ground together in anger, and yet, he stubbornly refused to beg for mercy.

"Heh." Luca had seen too many people like this—stubborn, foolish, and unaware of their imminent death. He couldn’t be bothered to waste more words. He raised his foot, preparing to send this young heir of the Willow Family to join his grandfather.

Suddenly, a whistling wind cut through the air from behind, and a sharp blade aimed directly at Luca’s back.

"Die!" Lusty, his face covered in blood, appeared behind Luca. His long blade struck like a snake, its edge aiming for Luca’s spine. The sinister expression on his delicate face twisted into one of intense hatred.

This was the first time in his life that Lusty had suffered such a crushing defeat. His mind was no longer focused on the mission or revenge. All he wanted now was to kill the arrogant youth who had humiliated him.

But the next moment, his jaw dropped in shock. The blade slashed through Luca’s body, but instead of blood, it passed right through, as if cutting through a mere illusion.

No good! Lusty’s heart sank as he sensed something was terribly wrong. Before he could react, an overwhelming force suddenly pressed down on his back, as if a massive mountain had fallen on top of him.

Boom! Another loud crash rang out, rocks and debris flying everywhere. Lusty and Zadownlow both coughed up blood, their bodies slammed together, pinned by Luca’s foot. The immense pressure crushed their insides, and they felt as though their organs had been shattered.

"You two think you can kill me with this kind of skill?" Luca’s voice came from above, his words carrying the weight of a soul-crushing question. He couldn’t understand how these two had the guts to challenge him.

Especially Zadownlow, the bastard who had already lost an arm to him. How dare he come looking for trouble again? Continue your journey on NovelBin.Côm

Lusty and Zadownlow, trapped beneath Luca’s foot, were overwhelmed by a mixture of humiliation and searing pain, pushing them to the brink of unconsciousness.

But as Luca applied more pressure, their hatred began to wane, replaced instead by a growing fear of death.

"Ugh, ugh…" They could barely make out sounds of pleading, their arrogance and defiance long gone.

"Ready to talk?" Luca asked, hearing their muffled cries. He eased up slightly on the pressure of his foot. Sure enough, these highborn young masters were all the same.

Even the hardest bones eventually soften. Given enough time, people will weigh the pros and cons and come to the realization that no matter how important something is, it doesn’t compare to the value of their own life. After all, they’re not like ordinary people who live each day on the edge, always at the mercy of danger.

Zadownlow and Lusty both sensed the pressure on their bodies lessen, and a wave of relief washed over them. Just moments ago, they had genuinely felt like they might be crushed under the weight.

"Speak," Luca said, his voice calm. "I’ll give you three chances. If you don’t…"

Before he could finish, Zadownlow suddenly froze. His face drained of color, and he quickly exclaimed, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk! No need for chances!"

He remembered all too well how Zahilter had been tortured to death in a similar situation. Luca’s mind clearly worked differently from others, and Zadownlow wasn’t foolish enough to gamble with his own life.

"What’s this supposed to mean?" Luca’s tone turned displeased. "Do you think I’ll go back on my word?" His foot’s pressure increased once more, and both Zadownlow and Lusty could clearly hear the cracking of their bones beneath him. Waves of excruciating pain surged through their minds, and their expressions twisted in agony.

Damn it, this guy really is insane!

At this point, they could no longer put their feelings into words. Only Lusty, gathering his last bit of strength, managed to shout out, "Dragon Gate Mountain… The people from Zenith Technology Company… They’re in the Dragon Gate Mountain of the Imperial Capital!"

Zadownlow, lying at the bottom, no longer had the strength to speak. His eyes rolled back, and it was clear he was nearing the end of his life.

"Dragon Gate Mountain?" Luca paused for a moment, thinking. The name did sound familiar. He had heard it before in his past life. It was a private villa district, home to the wealthiest elites of Summer Country.

His gaze flickered. He hadn’t expected the people from Zenith Technology Company to be so bold, openly residing in the Imperial Capital.

But then again, they certainly had the means to do so. @@novelbin@@

After all, no one in the entire Summer Country could do anything to them. If they could, the Summer Country officials wouldn’t be so helpless in their search for any trace of Zenith Technology Company.

"I… I’ve said it…" Lusty, his face bloodied, clutched Luca’s foot. He could barely draw breath, his gaze growing vacant. His internal organs were likely crushed by now.

But this man’s will to survive was extraordinary, even remembering to beg for mercy in his final moments.

"Alright, I’ll let you go," Luca said, a faint smile curling at the corners of his lips.

Then, with a swift motion, Luca raised his blade.

A flash of cold light flickered!

Two heads were sent soaring into the air!
