Lightning Is the Only Way

"I need money."

"How much?"

"Can you spare ten mill?"

"Of course!"

"Thanks."

SHING!

"Wait, Mortis…"

Manuel took a deep breath.

Mortis had just come out of nowhere and had asked about money. Manuel knew that Mortis was using it for Gravis, but he, at least, wanted to know how Gravis was.

Instead, Mortis directly teleported away.

"It's probably urgent," Stella said with a worried sigh. "You don't know Mortis as well, but I've actually never seen him so nervous before."

Manuel also sighed, but his eyes quickly steeled again.

"We have to move forward! We don't have any time left!"

Liam and Aris nodded towards Manuel.

Both of them were level two Star Gods by now. After Gravis had vanished, they had decided that they had to increase their power as much as possible.

"Launch the attack!" Manuel ordered.

Meanwhile, Mortis entered the next city and used the Teleportation Formation Array to get to Opposer City. Gravis wasn't allowed to go to Opposer City, but he was.

Mortis quickly arrived in Opposer City and directly teleported to his destination.

SHING!

Mortis appeared in front of a gigantic building made of glass and entered.

"Welcome to The Heaven Company! How can I help you?" the clerk asked. It was the same clerk that Gravis had met back when he had first entered The Heaven Company.

Mortis took out an emblem and put it on the table.

"Black Sentry has recently been kicked out of The Heaven Company. However, he still has Contribution Points," Mortis said as he pointed at the emblem. "This emblem has his aura and signature on it. It gives me the power to use up his remaining Contribution Points."

The clerk was overwhelmed immediately.

This was something that went way above her paygrade!

"Please wait a moment. I'm going to contact someone immediately," she said with a polite smile.

Mortis only nodded expressionlessly.

Some seconds passed.

SHING!

Eve arrived in the hall, and she looked at Mortis.

Then, she looked at the emblem Mortis had put on the table with cold eyes.

BANG!

The emblem was turned into nothingness.

Mortis' eyes became a shade colder.

Eve and Mortis looked into each other's eyes with cold expressions.

Silence.

The clerk felt nervous and went to the side.

"What's the meaning of this?" Mortis asked slowly.

"Black Sentry has become a heretic in the eyes of The Heaven Company," Eve explained. "He has committed the very atrocities that we exist to prevent. If he manages to recover from his issue, we have no problems in reaccepting it, but as of right now, The Heaven Company has nothing to do with him."
