Chapter 3 Ya Fucker
Chapter 3
"Soooo, where have you been?"
Dan shrank back as he saw the vicious smile that had spread all over the young woman's face. Right in front of him was the most feared person in the entire outer district, a person even the strongest expert in Emperor's rule feared….
his sister!!!
"S-sis, calm down ok?"
Dan slowly spoke trying to calm his sister down. But even though he was trying to get over all this without causing too much of a hassle, he was pretty sure that his sister wouldn't rest before she thoroughly lectured him. In fact he could only pray that she would at least stay relatively quiet and not wake the neighbors.
But despite his fears it actually came different.
His sister gave him a strange look before sighing.
"Come in, time for food."
Dan could only stare at her back as she already turned around and left for the hallway without looking back.
"Is she ill? Maybe I should call a doctor?!"
Dan mumbled before taking of his shoes and also entering the hallway.
_____________________
"She wasn't ill…..!"
He had been too optimistic.
Even though his sister hadn't started any riot at the entrance to the house, as soon as he had entered the kitchen, the gruesome event began.
Three hours.
Three hours of lecturing and yelling, talking about manners and the impoliteness to let a young woman wait. In the end even Dan had to admire his sister to have so much stamina to continue like this for entire three hours without even showing signs of tiring down.
Only now, three o'clock in the night had he finally managed to escape and lock himself in his room. By the way, the door to his room was a former Tresor-door…..
Now he was sitting cross-legged inside of his room and calmed himself down. Closing his eyes, his body loosened up as his breathing softened. Slowly all of his body functions were slowed down as his mind went into a strange state.
He stayed like this for about half an hour. Then he suddenly opened his eyes again and stood up.
"Sigh~ too late to cultivate today, I will do it tomorrow, only have to be careful to not upset her again."
As soon as he walked to his bed that was located in the left corner of the room and laid down onto it he already fell into a deep sleep.
_______________________________
The next few days were all spend in a very relaxing manner as there were no further fights and Dan slowly fell back into his ordinary life.
The morning as well as the day was spent together with Jake or other high rank members of Emperor's Rule. They visited various merchants, made alliances with powers in their new territory and showed presence in the newly occupied southern district.
Furthermore he had to maintain relations with some powerful experts in all districts, experts that hadn't entered any faction yet and could get handy in dangerous times. Of course as they didn't belong to Dan's forces they also could become a potential danger for him and his faction, once they choose to cut off any ties with them and enter another faction becoming their enemy.

Because of this Dan always had to pay close attention to these experts and make sure that they stayed out of their conflicts.
These were the mornings and afternoons, as for the evenings, once it was past 8 o'clock Dan didn't dare to exit the house. After all there was still this 'being' that would thoroughly trash him once he was come home late.
Other than wasting time together with his sister and occasionally watching news on TV he spend the whole evening and most of the night cultivating and training his martial arts skills. For hours he repeated the mysterious movements and postures, feeling power rush throughout his entire body and slowly changing it.
This continued for some more days until Sunday.
Dan was just walking home, next to him a small playground with kid playing football on it, as suddenly his headset began to ring. Taking the call Dan turned up the volume.
"..s.jkiht Dan fucking get to the south district. We've got trouble mate , big time!"
The call abruptly canceled. Dan was a both a bit annoyed and stunned.
Annoyed because of the sudden call and the trouble that was coming at him, stunned because of the abrupt canceling of the call. What could cause Jake, a level three expert to cancel a call? Fuck this guy could be on a battlefield and still relaxed take calls!
Cursing Dan had to turn away from the playing kids and took up speed. Making a jump he took an arc in the air and finally continued his sprint on the roofs of the houses. The tiles on the roof fell down as he sped over them at 80 km/h.
"What's up over there? I though Death crown in the west district was falling apart?"
"Right. Fuck, some crazy guy appeared in the west district, killing the guys that were fighting for the position of the next boss and took over the whole faction. Now they are attacking us in the south district.
I can defend for now, but if this goes on we will all die before the next morning!
There are multiple level two body stage mates here and even Ries and Kell have come, but it seems that the new boss of death crown is even more powerful than you!
Right now he doesn't really move, but once he does we are all dead, so move you fat ass over here, or I will come back to haunt you as a ghost!"
Dan already started running again. This time he really was in trouble. A new person that was even more powerful than him, someone who potentially had a superior cultivation techniques and an initial skill, one more in town was dangerous for both his fraction and even himself.
Of course there were multiple people in the city that were at least as powerful, if not stronger than him. But this people were either allies, neutral or at least he hadn't offended them to the point of starting a war. After all even experts at his level had to be careful if fighting against multiple men.
Most experts on his level wouldn't want to suffer any losses because of avoidable fights and rather hold back and observe the others next steps then charge right into the enemy and suffer.

"Jake shut up, pull back a bit and wait a minute I'm already on my way to you. Also call all men over here and let them build up defenses. The calm and peaceful days are over mate and now there is no more stepping back!"
Ending the chat Dan took out his mobile, quickly making a call.
"Jess, Dan here, meeting in three hours.
Also get Kun that old bastard and call your guys together.
…
Yes big trouble so speed up a bit."
"Mr. Leaner, yea Dan here. We are taking your offer. Send us the new equipment as soon as possible."
"… I know you have other things…. FUCK GET HERE OR I WILL COME TO YOU AND GET YOU HERE MYSELF!"
"Ya ol' guy get your dogs here and tell Sean to fucking get out of the hole he calls home…"
"Yea sis, I'll be back late today, have stuff to take care of…. by the way get the Gatling Gun out of the garage."
" YOU HAVE PROBLEMS? MIKE YOU WANNA TELL ME YOU HAVE TO MUCH WORK? FUCK I HAVE PROBLEMS AND IF YOU ARENT HERE IN A FEW MINUTES I WILL GO AND FUCK YOUR PARENTS FROM BEHIND!"
In the short distance between his position and the border to the western district, Dan made multiple calls, making a deals and calling together allies and troops from all over the city. Now all the relation maintaining paid off. There were many men in the city that had deep connections to him, merchants, dojo masters, martial experts. All of them where in some way indebted to him and now is the time to get them to repay old favors.
Shots were falling from all sides, followed with explosions of grenades and anti tank missiles. Houses were riddled with holes and tiles were falling down onto the street. Houses lost parts of their walls as result of sudden explosions and the whole street already destroyed to the point where cars would not be able to drive them any time soon.
A brown house on the edge of two streets crossing each other suddenly blew up. Flames roared up to the sky lighting up the evening sky. Rubbles flew across the street crushing both men and cars and slamming into the already tattered buildings.
Ultimately only a few bricks and the back wall were left of the three storey building.
This was no small shooting between some gangs or mafia groups. No simple exchange of bullets and some dead bodies. This was a full-fledged war between two powerful factions trying to destroy each other!
On Dan's side, the houses in the vicinity had been evacuated and now his men were using them as defenses to shoot from. The polished barrels of rifles and guns were lurking out of the windows and from the sides as they fired one bulled after another.
The Death Crown troops on the other side were using the various cars and house fronts as cover while firing bullets, of whom most only hit a wall and left a small hole inside of the stone.
Of course there were still casualties and on both side there were multiple men either dead or injured. Cars exploded occasionally and a lucky bullet hit right into the target adding to the death count.
But this was only the main part of the whole war. Up, on the roofs, above the regular men’s heads there was another battle fought. A battle of martial experts!
Multiple dozen figures were flashing around, changing from one house's roof to another firing bullets or swinging both blades and daggers.
Man against man, one on one.
This was a square fight unlike the one down under their feet. Using their own skill they tried to kill the other getting an advantage and ultimately reaching the others foot troops and create major damage.
A young man, short black hair, a green military jacket jumped, reaching behind another man in five meters height and swung the short dagger he had in his left hand. At the same time he pulled the trigger of the short machine gun in his right hand firing a shower of bullets onto a third man that was closing in trying to save his comrade.
Blood splashed as a head fell down onto the ground, smashing into a bloody pulp. The now headless body still remained in the air for another moment before ultimately also falling down and becoming a big pit of blood, organs and gore.
The other man that had been closing in to help the dead one was hit by a bullet and had to withdraw holding his right leg. Blood flowed out of a small hole in his brown pants.
The black haired young man on the other side landed on both feet making a small slash with his dagger to get the blood of his dagger. Then he looks up and briefly observes the fights around him.
Right now the fight between the experts of both sides was pretty balanced with both sides having lost about half a dozen of their low level experts and only one or two of the middle leveled experts. As for the high leveled experts, they were really too hard to kill and up till now not a single one had been killed.
Boom, a grenade explodes next to the black haired man. Using his arms to protect his body the man is blown back and rolls over the roof before falling down.
Dan reacted instantly. Using all the energy in his body his muscles suddenly contracted and started to work. He disappeared from the place he had been before, accelerating to 120 km/h in less than a second and appearing next to the dropping figure of the black haired man. Grabbing him he uses the wall as ground and jumps up onto the roof.
This was Dan's peak speed he used while fighting. He couldn't sustain it for longer periods, but if used while fighting he was able to kill almost every person without even being seen. In fact this speed was one of the things that made him as a peak level three expert this scary and powerful compared to many other level three experts.
He was able to kill many other experts without them even being able to react.
The black haired man glared at Dan.
"Ya fucker. What took you this long?"
It was Jake.
