"It was them who had everything planned, our source claimed there's a witch on their side who divinated the route y'all where going to use. The plan was to snatch the artifact while you were dealing with the humans thereby also implicating you to the human supernatural federation alliance treaty but the human held onto it and never really strayed far from you." Jason explained to Brad who gritted his teeth in anger.
" Damn bastards, I'm going to kill every last one of them. " Brad raged." Calm down Brad, we pushed a bit further and found and under hand dealing with a certain firm who they traded 100 pieces of advanced armor with no transactions at all."
" Why would they do that? Brad asked with a confused look on his face, his anger reduced. "The general manager of the firm's niece also disappeared suddenly with no traces at all." Jason calmy spoke his eyes on the road as he drove. "It has to be Tyler that f*cking douche bag, but why would he want a human, while settling for the kidnap no less. It doesn't make sense at all." the young stud pondered beside Jason.
"Unless she has a talent or constitution that is worth it. Think about it, the lady of the moonhowl clan is a shaman." Jason drove with one hand while he rested his head on the other. "That explain why they could divinate against us in the first place, no witch would easily do that against us. It means that whatever they are planning could be huge. Tyler is going to be super careful about this. How are we going to go about this uncle?" Brad twisted his head staring at his uncle.
" Simple, we start by nullifying whatever deal he had with the human, the rest continues from there." Jason smirked. " What did the boss say about this? " Brad asked. " He gave a very big human shaped green card." Jason's smirk turned wider.
GILDED HOMES ESTATE, MANHATTAN (NY)
[TASKS]
[WAY OF A KING (LOADING-54%)]
[COPY (PROGRESS-24%)]
[SKILLS COPIED : 9]
During this period, Seth was set to the task trying to copy different skills but its progress was quite low, making him down cast.
Seth woke up early to watch Marie cook, learnt to ride a bicycle and a bike, learnt to juggle on the streets and even drawing and painting. Went as far as a concert to learn how to play the piano, followed principal Smith to learn how to fish. But the progress was still low. But he found out a few things, it differed from person to person. If he copied a skill/technique he had copied from another person. If the mastery and experience differed greatly, his skill mastery would level up. But all in all, since side skills offered less he decided to go for combat skills. For him to be able to copy a technique, the person had to be practical while thinking about it.
Principal Smith thinking Seth was on a healing jorney to recovery purchased a power bike, mountain bike, bicycle, cruiser truck and a four seater wheeler advanced transport mobiles.
Seth also found out that he couldn't be in crowded places the hardway. With his ultra sonic waves picking up every sound and transmitting directly to his brain while their thoughts rang aloud in his head. Seth felt like his brain was about to explode with the overload of information, even from talent users.
Luckily principal Smith took him home immediately after he copied the piano skills from the pianist at the concert. Luckily the mobiles Principal Smith bought where silent allowing him to use them peacefully.
Another thing he learnt about his ability was to be able to increase his chances of [Mental manipulation] if focus alone was not working. He had to make physical contact with them.
"Do you know any place where i could watch diverse combat skill matches." He asked the dark skinned principal on an early morning while having breakfast.
Dropping his newspaper down briefly, "What does a sixteen year old need in such places?" Principal Smith questioned. Seth's three moled dull left eye twitched "I'll be seventeen soon." he replied coldly.
Principal Smith and the maid Marie chuckled quietly. " I know of a place, blood fight Arena. It the only arena of which i know that offers the best diverse skills but its fighters are non talent users."
" that works fine, old man." Seth complimented with a thoughtful expression on his face. "But be warned, they offer special services which include underground fights to death. Be careful" Principal Smith warned. "Thanks, i guess" Seth immediately left. Turning towards Marie, principal Smith asked "I'm in support if he needs a distraction, but watching fights for distraction? Who does that." "if it lets him heal, then its fine Sir. The kid is too pitiful. " Her calm voice sympathised.
MOONHOWL ENTERPRISES (NY)
Moonhowl enterprises was a firm that dealt with Security personnel for even talent users. They were one of the high middleclass firms in New York who still made a massive amount of income.
" How dare you try to scam me Tyler, sending buses full of nothing. What game are you trying to play young man?" a old man probably in his sixties or seventies babled, spit flying astray.
"Silence, you old fool!" Tyler's eyes glowed bluish green. The old man spit had touched his face, his stretched over the table grabbing the old man before bashing him on the table. "How dare you raise your voice at me, you impugnant fool?" Tyler held him down, his fingers wrapped thickly around his neck. The old man suffocated miserably before releasing a disgraceful leak. Tyler noticing that flinged him to the door while cursing out loud, while twitching his nose in disgust. The old man was Lilian's uncle who shivered uncontrollably on the floor.
Tyler breathed silently before reaching towards the old man, bending down, a finger below bis nose while holding Lilian's uncle "Go home, take a shower, relax and wait. I'll sort everything out by tomorrow okay? Now leave." Tyler voice turned cold again. The miserable man picked himself up before running as fast as his legs could carry him.
Picking up his phone, Tyler dialed his mom's number waiting for her to pick up.
" What's wrong, Tyler? " a calm motherly voice rang out. "I think they are aware mother, what do we do?" he asked a bit nervously, the dominating alpha from before gone.
"Calm down, Tyler. Tonight's the full moon, bring her over. The ritual will be performed tonight. And be watchful too, you can't mess this up." her soothing voive rang out.
"I will, mother." Tyler's resolve steeled, his eyes a haunting bluish green light.
BLOOD FIGHT ARENA (NY)
When Seth had come the arena, he wasn't allowed due to age restrictions, thanks to his powers he warped the fat grumpy registar's mind allowing himself a frontseat view to the caged underground's fight. Sitting still watching the fighters made Seth's blood boil.

With his deep concentration, observing their every movement, information streamed into his mind steadily. Since it was a death fight, the fighter concentrated to the utmost. Their minds being focused intensely on the fight made it easier for Seth. He himself was quite absolved that he didn't notice that he had stayed for more than eight hours watching their every movements. His sonic waves trailing their forms intently then notifications came. Their mastery wasn't perfect but it was dangerous enough.
Seth left the arena, his black tight fitting t-shirt with bib black leather jacket and extra wide and long black jean combat pants was wrinkled and creased due to the long period of sitting. While straightening them, his black slightly leather stripped shiny boot peeked out.
He had walked some distance when the panel came up.
[TASK REWARDS READY]
He walked into a deserted alley way just in case it causes any commotion and he made the right choice because immediately he accepted it, a bright portal appeared and sucked him in.

ABANDONED WAREHOUSE
OUTSKIRTS OF N. Y
The night sky was cloudy but with how bright it was clear that it would be a full moon that night. Tyler rushed into the abandoned warehouse and carried Lilian. She tried to struggle but he knocked her out cold before feeding her a potion. Maybe it was because he was nervous, he didn't noticed that he had been trailed for a while now.
After barking out specific orders, Tyler rushed into his car and sped off, his crew following behind. He rushed into the city, heading for a junction when a huge truck rammed into him from the side. His automobile flew into the air with two beautiful spins before crashing into a building.
Not wasting time, he tore the door open before crawling out of the underside up flipped transport mobile leaving Lilian who's fore head was bleeding freely. He saw two figures bounce out of the truck that had rammed him into the wall while people began to run. The few talent users were confronted by the rest of the group. 'are this people crazy?' Tyler thought to himself before folding up his sleeves.
Three of them transformed into high-speed motion blur while things broke and damaged immensively. By now the crew began to round tyler since they had pursued the few talent users who fought with them.
Tyler watching them as they closed up on him tore his shirt off before undertaking a partial transformation. His hair grew a bit all over his body while his eyes took on predatory bluish green. His feet enlargened as he stood on his toes, his arms adding extra inch.
"Come." a demonic voice sounded. Three people from the opposing sides whoosed into his circumference at dangerous angles. Not minding the angles, he tanked the most prominent one while holding the arm of another and bashing him into his comrade. Before the last one could attack again, his head was grabbed by Tyler before smashing him into the ground. Cracks spread from the point of contact while the rest took a slight step back.
"Tylerrrr!!!!" Brad pushed forward in the air before morphing into a big brown furred creature, spit drooling from his teeth. Two other wolves flanked him from both sides, it was his crew. The rest were about to join in when furry creatures from nowhere began picking them off. The sight was cruel as they bit, tore and moved to the next. Blood spilled as their fight continuing on.
While all this was happening, a human figure watched with an incredulous expression before running into an alley. "She's running away." Tyler shouted as he tried to give chase but Brad and his crew pinned him in place. In anger, Tyler threw tje deformed transport mobile towards Brad and his crew causing an intense explosion. More blood spilled, the night had just begun.....
