“Hahaha! Let me, The Fastest Sword of Hermit Mountain, also lend a hand!” Another male voice sounded chivalrously.

“Sixth Senior Brother!” Autumn Rosenbloom moaned in even greater distress!

“Of course, if The Fastest Sword and The Strongest Kick of Hermit Mountain lend a hand, how would I, the Fattest Wall of Hermit Mountain, dare to withhold my aid? Here I come as well!” Cried another voice.

“Tenth Senior Brother..” Autumn Rosenbloom was literally depressed at that moment. She sighed deeply and looked at the others with a strange but complex look on her face.

“I am sorry-” She began. But she was not able to complete her sentence before three similar Dome Palaces landed heavily on the ground before them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Their domes immediately retracted and three young men leapt out flamboyantly.

The one standing in front as their leader was presumably Fifth Senior Brother.

The first thing that struck Elliot with the force of a sledgehammer was that he was an Emperor!historical

Fifth Senior Brother was a powerful looking young man, tall and very muscular. He was dressed in very traditional garb similar to the ancient Chinese of Planet Earth. His right hand gripped a sheathed sword which was completely black and gave out an ominous feeling to all who were present.

The other two Senior Brothers weren’t as imposing as the Fifth Senior Brother, but they too exuded a power that was unmistakably at the Emperor level!

The fat and round one on Fifth Senior Brother’s left was definitely Tenth Senior Brother, The Fattest Wall of Hermit Mountain. He was wearing light brown armor that made him look very, very similar to an armored egg.

The tall and lanky on on Fifth Senior Brother’s right was Sixth Senior Brother, the Fastest Sword of Hermit Mountain. He was similarly garbed in traditional wear, and had a sheathed blue sword by his side. He exuded a sharpness that felt incomparibly dangerous to Elliot.

Elliot immediately went on high alert.

“Senior brothers!” Autumn Rosenbloom cried out. “Don’t do-“

“SAY NO MORE! I can see how distressed you are, and I will make sure I avenge you completely!” Fifth Senior Brother, the Strongest Kick of Hermit Mountain said gallantly, completely oblivious that Autumn’s distress was caused almost entirely by him and his two brothers.

“NO! DO NOT-“

“TWELFTH JUNIOR SISTER! Fifth Senior Brother had already said that he would avenge you! Trust him and be at ease!” Tenth Senior Brother the Fattest Egg of Hermit Mountain cried out.

“Yes, Twelfth Junior Sister. Please stand aside and let us do our job. After all, Second Senior Brother had specifically instructed us to “take good care of our junior sister! You wouldn’t want to make Second Senior Brother sad, don’t you?” Fifth Senior Brother the Fastest Sword of Hermit Mountain said loudly.

“Why are you bringing Second Senior Brother into the conversation?! Don’t mention him in front of me!” Autumn Rosenbloom shouted angrily.

“Alright, alright. I am sorry for intruding into your lover’s quarrel. My bad, Twelfth Junior Sister!” Sixth Senior Brother chuckled lightly.

“WHAT LOVER’S QUARREL! ZHANG WEI! YOU WATCH YOUR DAMN MOUTH BEFORE I RIP OUT YOUR TONGUE!” Autumn Rosenbloom roared in anger.

“Enough. Fat Wall, take her away. Fast Sword and I will take care of the three others.” Fifth Senior Brother Zhang Wei snapped.

Fat Wall immediately leapt forward with surprising agility and surrounded Autumn with an incomparably thick energy before whisking her a few kilometers away.

“Sorry Junior Sister, we’ll have to wait here while Fast Sword and Divine Fighter deals with the three ants that dared to make you so distressed.” Fat Wall said apologetically.

“Fat Wall. Let me go right now. If now when I get back, I will get Eldest Senior Brother to discipline you for daring to lay hands on me this way.” Autumn Rosenbloom threatened softly.

Fat Wall trembled in fear for a quick moment at the mention of the ferocious Eldest Senior Brother who doted on Autumn like she was his real sister. However, he immediately caught himself and laughed softly in reply.

“If Eldest Senior Brother wished to discipline me, then he has to ask Second Senior Brother’s sword first if he can do that. I am, after all, Second Senior Brother’s loyal supporter.” Fat Wall sneered.

“Hooo. Your Second Senior Brother sure is high and mighty now that he has acquired a rare treasure sword, huh? You think that a rare treasure sword and whatever shitty manual he found in that Ancient Inheritance can help him bridge the gap between him and Eldest Senior Brother’s Vast Universe Sword Art? Delusional! If you don’t let me go, I can promise you that the three of you will not enjoy the next one hundred years of your life!” Autumn said fiercely.

“Enough with the nonsense!” Fat Wall snapped at her angrily and shed all pretense of being cordial. “Second Senior Brother had assured our complete safety and immunity against Master and Eldest Senior Brother. All you have to do is to follow us quietly!”

“Follow you quietly? I see, so you’re not “rescuing me” from the three of them. You’re kidnapping me, huh?” Autumn said as a chilling realization fell upon her.

“Just shut up and accept your fate.” Fat Wall growled. “Who told you to keep resisting Second Senior Brothers’s kind intentions and approaches? Now he’s all out of patience, you have to bear his wrath yourself.”

At that, however, a powerful sense of wrongness bloomed in Autumn’s heart.

“You may not know it, but after you rejected him again last time, Second Senior Brother fell into a deep rage. He summoned us and gave us this mission of “inviting” you at all cost to the Broken Planets for a visual presentation of how much he loves you. We’re here to bring you there under his bidding. After we kill the three gnats, of course.” Fat Wall said sinisterly.

“That’s not like Second Senior Brother at all. He would NEVER do such a thing to me, or to innocent people like the three of them.” Autumn said softly.
