Time goes back a few minutes, and after leaving Christian and the others, Ethan began to head out in search of his future S-class partner.
He changed into an all-white suit, his silver hair combed back behind his head and his blue eyes shining brighter than ever.
With his enhanced physique, his former lean body had gained muscle, adding a hint of charm to his every move as his muscles shaped nicely under his clothes.
Even his very aura had changed with the high-intensity mana pulsing in his chest, giving him a somewhat commanding air.
"Sigh... It’s a pity that this sky would soon be red and I can no longer listen to the singing of birds."
"When the apocalypse comes, rather than birds, what would ring through the air is the screams of humans as they struggle against this change."
"A world where son turns against father and daughter against mother."
"Where a person can be sold for a loaf of bread and being strong is enough to live a life that even emperors envy."
"The apocalypse, this time I must stand on top!"
Driving in a brand-new white Ferrari, Ethan spoke to himself as he headed toward Higgsfield University.
According to his memory, that was the place where Victoria went to school before she awakened.
"From what I remember, I think something happened during her awakening causing her to slaughter most of her classmates and the school."
"It’s because of the rumors from those few who escaped that I was even able to know her school."
Turning on the radio, Ethan wondered what could have happened that made her go out of control.
"Well, I’ll just have to find out when I get there."
’Zoom!’
Stepping on the gas, Ethan headed towards this future S-class, with excitement in his heart.
.......
[Dragon Country, Emerald City]
[Higgsfield University]
The distance between the Smith Mansion and the university was not far.
And adding to the fact that he was a Smith, Ethan had little care for traffic as he made his way towards the university.
Although he usually didn’t cause trouble and obeyed the laws, because of his excitement, he decided to bend them a little bit.
However, after arriving at Higgsfield, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
"Haha."
"Hahaha."
"Haha."
"Ally, kick her harder, let’s see if she can remain silent after a few more kicks."
"Sure thing, Tracy, this little bitch, we need to roughen her up a bit so she doesn’t seduce the boys and male teachers."
"Yes, yes, we’re doing the school a favour."
Laughing with each other, a group of five girls was kicking another student in front of the school gate.
And to make it worse, no one was helping!
The security guard looked away and the other students walked by as if nothing was the matter.
A scene only possible, if such a thing was a daily occurrence.
Realizing this, Ethan was angry.
"What the hell is wrong with people?"
"This just reminds me of a popular saying in the apocalypse."
"In front of both zombies and otherworldly monsters, the biggest fear and greatest evil of the apocalypse is the human heart."
Narrowing his eyes, Ethan parked his car a bit far from the school and began to get out.
At this time a few eyes had drawn towards him, after all with his looks, car, and clothing, he looked like a celebrity.
Yet, Ethan paid these eyes no heed, as he walked his way towards the group of girls.
Even though he was not a hero, even though he knew he was not a good person.
But seeing something like this, he unknowingly thought of the past.
For a while his feet stopped, as he remembered how he would try to steal bread for his girlfriend, be beaten up by groups of people and struggle to even bring half back.
Only at his death did he figure out that even that was all fake.
"Not only did that bitch Olivia have enough food to eat, but back when I was about to die after being cornered by them."
"Olivia told me that it was Leon’s idea, that me getting beat up was their form of entertainment."
Muttering under his breath, as he thought of his so-called best friends and girlfriend, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
However, he quickly controlled himself and walked up to the girls.
Unfortunately, they were so engrossed in bullying the person underneath their feet that they didn’t even notice his presence.
Another thing that made him angry.
"You five stop this nonsense at once, how dare you do this to your classmate!"
Grabbing the shoulder of a nearby girl, Ethan’s shout instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
The security, the girls, students, and passersbys all stopped as looks of shock appeared all over their faces.
"Who the hell are you, do you know who I am?!"
"I’m Tracy Alister! My father is Morgan Alister! One of the board of directors!"
"Not only that but he has some friends in the Smith family!"
"If you dare disturb us, then one call and we can ruin not just you but your parents’ lives!"
Saying this, Tracy, who seemed to be the head of the squad, and the other girls all turned towards Ethan with broad chests.
However, Ethan hearing her say these words couldn’t help but feel extremely angry.
Although he knew there was some trash in the Smith family, he didn’t expect it to devolve so far.
It seemed cleaning up the family also had to be put on the agenda.
Thinking this, he calmed down; it seemed that, apart from finding his missing S-class, he also needed to find out who in the Smith family was backing these girls.
’But before anything else, I should check on the girl they were kicking just now.’
’I hope she’s not too injured.’
Turning to look at the ground, his eyes couldn’t help but widen with shock.
A pair of familiar ice-blue eyes and hair came into his sight.
"Victoria?" he blurted out in shock.
