Plundering in the Apocalypse



[As you can see in this video. These brave heroes fought against the army of demons and saved the Polaris City from a great calamity...] The news anchor said. Then the viral video was replayed again.

*Click*

A clicking sound of the remote button was heard, and the TV was switched to another news channel.

[Just a day after the genocide incident, another big incident happened in Polaris City. Some experts have analyzed that Polaris City is being targeted...]

*Click*

[We are still searching for the identity of our heroes...]

*Beep*

The TV was switched off.

*Sigh*

A long sigh was heard.

"How the hell was it recorded? I was sure there were no cameras." Shin muttered with a confused face as his brows furrowed in annoyance.

"If there were some witnesses, I could have just erased their memory. But now it's difficult." Shin mumbled with a hint of resignation in his voice.

Thinking of the video, he continued. "The scenes are so clear, as if they were shooting a movie."

He was just resting for a few hours and he already became an internet celebrity. 'It seems we are going to continue being high profile in the future. There's no point in doing things low-key. Not that we can now.'

Although Shin was getting a slight headache because of these unexpected turn of events. Fortunately, his strength wasn't weak compared to humans. So he had enough confidence to deal with the troubles, even if his identity was revealed. It wasn't a problem now.

"I know who recorded this video." Emily's words immediately got Shin's attention.

"Who?" Shin asked.

Aurora, at this moment, seemed to remember something and said, "Is it the one you said was live broadcasting our fight?"

At this moment, Shin also remembered that Aurora and Emily were talking about something similar. But he didn't pay much attention at that time.

Confirming Aurora's words, Emily nodded and said, "Yes, that boy seems to have a special ability. He was able to broadcast our fight live without any cameras or equipment."

Shin was silent for a while and his heart was a bit turbulent. Although with his abilities, he could work stealthily and hidden from most people. But this kind of ability even he didn't have the means to detect.

'I have to do something.' His first thought was to plunder this ability so there won't be a next time like this. But after a moment of thought, he shook his head and made a decision in his heart.

"Emily, can you let me read your memory of that boy?"

When Shin asked this, Emily frowned. Understanding her doubts, he quickly said. "You just to remember that memory. I won't try to read any other memories."

Emily was still hesitating, but when she glanced at Aurora, who gave a small nod, she agreed.

"If you try anything funny or read any other memory than that. I'll kill you."

For Emily's threatening words, Shin didn't care. Even if he read all her memories, they won't be able to find out anything.

"Don't resist."

With his Mind Control ability, he managed to read a part of Emily's memories. He also got some interesting information from her regarding the Vampires and Mages clan.

'So his name is Eddie.' In Emily's memories, there wasn't much information about him. But knowing his face was enough for Shin.

"I'll be back in a bit."

Before Aurora and Emily could say anything, his mind moved, and he went inside Alice's Soul Space. With his Loan skill, Shin had borrowed her Soul Space skill, but until now he has only used it to store things. This will be his first time entering the Soul Space.

"Wow."

Shin felt like he had come to another world. An entirely unstable world. Because he could see many seasons at the same time within a little distance.

On his right, a cold wind blew, and he could see snowfall. In front, there was a heavy rainstorm. On his left was the summer heat temperature.

"Just what is this place?"

Although Shin knew he was inside Alice's Soul Space, this phenomenon was beyond his understanding. He could even see a volcano a little further.

A moment later, everything disappeared and turned into a complete white space.

"Shin?" a sweet, motherly voice called out to him.

Shin was a little stunned, then his eyes moved. He saw there was a white humanoid figure behind him. He instantly knew they were Alice's familiar.

He knew Alice treat the white ones as her familiar and the black ones as her servants. Also, his mother-in-law and father-in-law are her familiars.

So the voice that called out to him. He instantly knew it was Alice's mother, Mia.

"Hello," He walked up to her and greeted her politely.

They have been in contact a few times before. But obviously, they have always chatted in Alice's presence.

This was his first time meeting her when Alice wasn't with him.

Looking at Shin's actions, Mia was amused. Then, with a teasing smile that Shin couldn't see, she said. "Good to see you, son-in-law. You should come by here from time to time and have a chat with us."

"Yes, I'll do that from now on." Shin agreed with her without a change in expression. Then he was about to ask Alice's whereabouts. When he suddenly heard her say.

"By the way, I have something I want to talk to you about. Because Alice is always with us, I never had the chance to say, only now did I have the opportunity."

Shin was a little taken aback. Talk about something? He looked at her seriously but always wore a polite smile, respecting her as an elder as well as his mother-in-law.

"What is it that you want to talk about... Mam?" He asked.

"Just call me Aunt." Mia sounded very serious. Unfortunately, Shin couldn't figure out what kind of face she was making at this moment. Otherwise, he would have seen her holding her laugh.

"Aunt."

Shin didn't muster over it and waited for her to continue.

"Shin, what is your age?"

"20," Shin answered honestly, but a little puzzled.

"Then what is Alice's age?"

"...16." He had a weird feeling when he answered this.
