Chapter 136 The Mysterious Letter
After finishing his match with the red dragon, Jake was about to log off but that was when he received a communication invite from someone. Jake contemplated accepting the invite and then finally not seeing any harm in doing so, Jake accepted the invite and he was transported into a white space that seemed like his but he knew it wasn't his.
That was when the person appeared before him with his red fiery hair and trusty sword and daggers by his side.
"Hey wolf hunter, we need to talk." Red dragon said.
"What do you wanna talk about?" Jake asked.
"First off, I saw your skills and also experienced it first hand and I know how powerful you are especially the way you grow rapidly. The last time we battled, although you put up a good fight, I was still able to win."
"But today, you completely overwhelmed me with your versatile skill pool and techniques. And I'm so impressed by it." The red dragon said.
"And so what does that mean? Look, you need to cut to the chase and state why you wanted me here or else, I'm out of here." Jake said quite irritated.
"Fine. My name is Raze Slade; the son of Rex Slade. Although you don't know our family, because we are supposed to be kept a secret but…" Raze stuttered as he could see the wolf hunter's widened expression.
"You… you… you are the son of Rex Slade? Your family is part of the big three!" Jake shouted.
"How… how did you know?" Raze asked already gripping his sword tightly. Nobody was allowed to know the big three's identity, they were meant to be kept a secret from the world and now, a stranger in front of him knew who they were.
"If you are Rex's son, then that means you are Alex's brother." Jake said.
Hearing his brother's name, Raze somewhat calmed down as he looked at Jake. "How do you know Alex?"
"Wait, if you know who Alex is, that means you attend Aurora Academy." Raze said as the pieces was falling into place for him.
"Hold on, you attend Aurora Academy, that means you should know of someone quite infamous there right?" Raze asked.
"Who are you talking about?" Jake asked.
"I'm talking of the werewolf slayer." Raze clarified.
Hearing that name, Jake's heart skipped a bit. 'So my name has spread out to one of the big three families. Good, they should remember this name for this name would bring doom to them.'
"No, I don't know who the werewolf slayer is. I only know that he was the hero that saved Aurora Academy from the werewolves attack and he especially helped in sending the Beta werewolf back." Jake replied.
"Oh I see, that's a bummer. I thought you would have known who he was." Raze said quite disappointed by this fact.
"Anyway, that aside. I have a reason for calling you here." Raze said and Jake looked at him waiting for what he wanted to say.
"I experienced your strength and skills first hand and I'm really impressed by it. And since you know that I'm the eldest son to the leader of the big three, that makes me closer to receiving the throne of the Slade family soon." Raze said.
"That is why I'm extending my hand to you, join me, join the Slade family and also manage to grow your strength. Let's become a power house together. When I become ruler, you will become my right hand man. How does that sound?" Raze asked with a smile on his face.
"No." Jake simply replied.
"Great. I knew it won't be difficult to convince you, after all who won't want to join the big three… hold on, what did you say?" Raze asked after coming to a realization.
"I said no. I don't want to join you, I'm much of a lone wanderer." Jake said.
"But why?" Raze asked.
"Nothing." Jake said as he logged off. Explore stories on empire
"What?!? He logged off! How could he refuse to join me?" Raze shouted in fury.
"Wolf hunter, I promise no matter what, I will make sure you join the Slade family. If I can't have the werewolf slayer, then it will be beneficial for me especially to have the wolf hunter." Raze said as he logged off not knowing that the wolf hunter and the werewolf slayer were the same person.
Meanwhile after logging off, Jake simply just left the VR room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"You still had about 9 more minutes before you were expected to leave the gaming room. So why did you suddenly log off yourself?" Zee asked.
"Because I didn't feel like dealing with his questions. If I didn't do that, he would have annoyed me with convincing words, and promises. I didn't want to deal with that, that's why I logged off." Jake replied as he was on his way to his dorm.
"You know he won't stop until he receives yes as an answer right?" Zee said. "Since he knows that you are a student of Aurora Academy, he might even contact his brother; Alex to find your identity and try to convince you."
Jake just shrugged. "We will cross that bridge when we get there."
After a few minutes of walking, Jake was finally in his room. It was already noon and Jake decided to get some rest since his roommates were not in the room.
Laying on his bed, Jake rested his head on his pillow and his hand shifted into it. Jake felt and heard a shuffling sound.
Pulling it out, Jake saw it was a letter. "Huh? Who would keep a letter for me?"
Opening it, the contents read.
"I know your identity and if you don't want it revealed to the whole school, then meet me at the academy's arena by 9pm."
Reading it, Jake's blood was boiling in anger.
"That son of a bitch Alex! I will make him pay for ever trying to blackmail me." Jake said as he looked at the letter again.
"9pm right? I will be there and I will make sure you don't talk ever again." Jake said as he went back to his bed to sleep.
