Chapter 21: Mutual Respect.
''Hello, sir! We are honored to have you here.'' Chris bowed deeply towards the godly figure in front of him.
Entity didn't even look at him, he was around 195cm in height, and Chris was around 175cm.
Entity's gaze was locked above Chris' head; he didn't bother to lower his gaze.
Chris didn't mind it; it is already huge honor to have a Super-Star Hero in their city; he didn't expect to get an answer.
With Chris were other high-level figures from Charity.
Like the Mayor, Police Commissioner, and Army General.
''Follow me please, we have a welcoming ceremony for you.'' Chris bowed deeply and motioned for Entity to follow him.
He started walking behind Chris, but his gaze was locked in a specific direction.
A direction where powerful energy is coming from.
He narrowed his eyes.
The powerful energy was approaching Charity slowly, and it would take a few hours before the energy reached Charity.
''Is something wrong, sir?'' Chris asked after seeing Entity wasn't focusing; instead, he looked in the direction where the entrance of Charity was located.
Entity didn't reply; instead, he stopped looking towards the energy and focused on walking instead.
Chris was curious for a moment, but it would be rude to ask.
Chris, Entity, and the rest high-level figures from Charity exited the airport.
Chris and the rest waited for Entity to get in the car before they would.
Entity walked towards the closest car and sat down on the backseat, his face still cold as ice.
Chris and the rest didn't join the same car; instead, they walked towards the other vehicles.
The cars left the airport and started heading towards City Hall.
They arrived in the City Hall 10 minutes later.
Chris and the rest exited the cars and waited patiently for Entity to leave his car.
He left his car slowly and walked inside the City Hall.
The City Hall was currently bustling with people, but most of them were Heroes or from Government.
Entity's figure instantly caught everyone's attention; they nodded towards him with respect.
Entity ignored them all; he walked inside the City Hall and sat down on the chair in the corner of the Hall.
Everyone was much more nervous now that Entity wasn't planning to interact with anyone.
...But a confident black-haired woman started walking closer to him.
Her figure attracted everyone's attention.
''Ariane, what are you doing?!'' Chris shouted.
But Ariane ignored him and was now standing in front of Entity.
Entity's gaze still didn't change; his grey eyes were still emotionless.
''Are you planning to kill Jack?'' Ariane asked bluntly.
Everyone gasped out of horror.
''Ariane, get back here!'' Chris yelled anxiously.
''Answer me, are you planning to kill him?'' Ariane asked coldly.
Finally, Entity reacted; he turned her eyes towards the beautiful black-haired woman.
''...Why are you asking?'' Entity said with an indifferent voice.
''...'' Ariane was quiet; she bit her rose-colored lips and said. ''Can you not kill him?''
Everyone gasped.
''Ariane, what are you saying?!'' Chris yelled angrily.
People in the City Hall started murmuring loudly.
What was Ariane's relationship with Jack?
''Jack is a villain! He has murdered countless lives! He deserves to die!'' Chris yelled.
But then... City Hall suddenly turned very cold.
Everyone in the City Hall started trembling.
''C-C-Cold!''
Everyone looked towards Entity because the coldness came from him.
The only one who didn't get affected by the cold was Ariane.
Entity's eyes locked with Ariane's.
He finally opened his mouth. ''I can't kill him.''
Ariane widened her eyes.
Everyone in the Hall gasped out of horror, and they thought they misheard.
''W-W-What are you saying, sir?!'' Chris yelled anxiously.
''Why did they send you if you can't defeat him?!''
Entity gazed coldly towards Chris. ''You are foolish. You are filled with the desire for revenge, which clouds your thoughts. I didn't say I couldn't defeat him. I only said that I can't kill him.''
Everyone was silent; they didn't dare to open their mouths.
Entity again looked towards Ariane. ''What do you think Disaster-Level beings are? Some common thugs? Are you making fun of us? Super-Hero or Disaster-Moon, who cares. Both of them should be respected.'' Entity stood up.
''Disaster-Moon Villains are nigh-impossible to kill, at best I can capture him, but my primary goal is to make him retreat. Rarely any Disaster-Level beings are rampaging like Jack... Which makes this situation extremely difficult.''
Entity walked past Ariane; his words echoed in the Hall.
His words silenced everyone.
Chris clenched his fists; blood started to drip from his hands.
Entity shook his head out of disappointment. ''How foolish of you to even feel anger towards him. You aren't qualified.'' He said coldly and left the City Hall.
The cold air disappeared from the City Hall instantly after he left.
Ariane walked out of the City Hall and chased after Entity.
The streets were empty; it was easy for her to find Entity's tall figure.
''Why did you defend Jack? Why don't you hate him?'' Ariane asked curiously while walking next to Entity.
Entity didn't change his gaze, but he did answer. ''There is Mutual Respect between Disaster and Super level beings.''
''Mutual Respect?'' Ariane wondered.
''Mm...'' Entity nodded.
''...'' Ariane stayed silent; she never heard about Heroes and Villains respecting each other.
'I guess it is different for the people who are at the top of the hierarchy...'
''It is secret but... Some of the Disaster-Moon Villains are friends with Super-Star Heroes.'' Entity told shocking news.
''What?!'' Ariane's body shook.
Entity sighed. ''Not all Disaster-Moon Villains are terrible; they made wrong decisions when they were young, and the Government is too stubborn to remove their Villain status.''
''...What about the people like Jack, who killed millions of lives?''
Entity glanced towards her. ''Death is not the end.''
''What do you mean?'' Ariane asked.
But Entity stayed silent.
He already spoke more than he should.
Ariane was curious and wanted an answer, but seeing Entity not wanting to speak anymore, decided not to pry any further,
In the midst of silence, they arrived at the entrance of Charity.
Walls with a length of 50m surrounded Charity, and there are only four gates, which work as the entrances of Charity.
There are South, East, West, and North gates.
Entity was waiting in the South gate because he felt Jack's energy coming towards here.
''Miss, you shouldn't stay here, Jack will arrive soon, and you will die without even knowing how.'' Entity reminded.
Ariane bit her lips but nodded.
She is only a 3-Star Hero; she probably dies only by being in the presence of two Disaster Level individuals.
Entity watched as she left.
And once she was far enough.
''Come out; I know you are there.'' Entity said coldly towards the South Gate.
Soft laughter came from the gate.
A figure became visible.
The figure has short white hair and grey eyes. He had white-colored eyebrows with pale-looking skin. He was wearing an ordinary business suit with a black-colored necktie.
He is Disaster-Moon Villain - Raizo!
''Raizo?! What are you doing here, and how did you get here so fast?'' Entity had a visible shock on his cold face.
Raizo grinned. ''Well... My subordinate has a handy ability to travel quickly, and I am here because Jack, I can't leave my colleague in trouble.''
Entity snorted. ''Jack doesn't seem to be a big fan of Villains either.''
Raizo grinned. ''Yep... I guess this will be quite of a show.''
''Are you sure you want to do this? Aren't you afraid of my boss?''
Raizo turned solemn. ''What about him?''
''He has been searching you... Even though you are knowledgeable, how long can you run away from him?''
Raizo snorted. ''I have my ways.''
''I am sure you have...'' Entity muttered; he didn't want to face Raizo now.
''So troublesome...'' He sighed.
''And I heard that he was currently in the Death Continent, correct?'' Raizo asked.
''That's true. Lucifer and his sins have become more daring. What a mess.'' Entity with annoyance told.
''Hmph.'' Raizo snorted after hearing Lucifer's name.
''Maybe your boss will die there.'' Raizo grinned.
Entity smiled slightly. ''I hope so, but usually, our dreams are crushed after he comes back. So let's not get our hopes up.''
Their banter lasted for another 10 minutes until they both felt energy being only 100m away.
''The Main Character is here!'' Raizo grinned.
Entity turned his gaze towards the South Gate, and he saw a black-haired man walking while carrying a refrigerator.
Jack entered charity and saw two figures standing.
He narrowed his eyes; his instincts screamed for him to get angrier; otherwise, he might die!
[Rage Meter: 20%]
Jack covered the refrigerator with his rage energy, he threw the fridge out of the gate, but it was utterly unchanged even after it crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.
The Rage energy covered the refrigerator perfectly, not even scratch appearing on it.
''I guess introductions are in order.'' Raizo grinned.
Entity scoffed.
Jack turned his gaze towards white-haired Raizo.
''My name is Raizo, and I am Chairman of the Villains Association; nice to meet you.'' Raizo smiled and gave a polite nod.
''I am Entity, and I am here to stop you from causing more destruction.''
Jack felt like he should answer. ''I am Jack.''
''Hehe.'' Raizo chuckled and cracked his knuckles.
The air around Entity started getting colder and colder.
Red smoke appeared from Jack's body.
The battle is about to begin!
