Gerald gritted his teeth in frustration at the thought of Vogue somehow getting his hands on that Lifebean.
If he had known Vogue had eaten the life bean, he would have beaten that worthless brat until he had just a breathe left in him.
And since he had consumed the Life bean, he I bviously wouldn't die anyway.
He immediately decided to beat Vogue up if he saw him again. The only problem was that he had never enjoyed beating the trash once. The trash never cry out for help or beg.
Even recently, the trash is starting to ask for even more severe beating which dampens Gerald's mood.
Another one of his loyal lackeys, a thin guy called Steven, suddenly leaned forward and spoke up carefully. "Since he's frustrating you so much, why don't we just…"
His voice trailed off meaningfully, but Gerald immediately understood exactly what Steven was suggesting. His frown deepened and he shook his head.
"My father is the Head Guard of the entire Third Ring district. I can't be seen publicly associating myself with such matters."
"Yes, yes, of course, young master. But you don't actually need to be personally involved at all. Just give us your approval and it will be done. No one will ever connect it back to you,"
Steven eyes lit up as he spoke. "We would actually be doing the entire Third Ring a huge favor by eliminating a future Sun-Fiend before he transforms."
Kyle, who had been listening quietly, immediately jumped in to support the idea. "Steven's right, boss. Think about it. Everyone knows he only has 20 percent cell evolution. He's definitely going to fail. If he's gone now, we'd be heroes for stopping it before it happens."
Gerald tapped his fingers slowly on the glass table of the exclusive club room.
The disco lights danced as it lit up the entire room.
Around him and his friends, five completely naked girls gave them lap dances.
Two more girls danced seductively around the metal poles on the stage.
Gerald watched the dancing girls for a long while as he thought carefully about the suggestion.
Finally, he nodded his head slowly.
.
The three lackeys immediately broke into wild laughter as they raised their expensive glasses of alcohol to the air.
"Cheers! For the good of Terragrave city!" they shouted together happily.
"Hahahaha!" they all laughed loudly.
Gerald laughed along with them, feeling pleased with his decision.
He grabbed his female companion's hand and along with two other girls then headed for one of the rooms.
"Young master! It will cost extra fee!" The ladies pouted and complained as they were getting dragged.
Gerald chuckled proudly. "Money is no problem for me. Whatever the price is, you all are worth it."
The lackey immediately laughed. "Young master! Take it easy with them, they still need to work the next day!"
——————
Vogue woke up feeling absolutely refreshed!
"That was a nice nap!" He muttered, groaned and stretched his body.
He saw his clones in the floor of his bed, still cultivating all this time.
Vogue didn't see any increase in his cell's evolution and knew he had to recall his clones before he saw any increase.
Which he did immediately.
'Come back.'
All three clones opened their eyes at the same instant. The same crimson pupils glowed with brilliant light before fading.
Then immediately they stood up together silently and then walked toward him.
The first one reached him first. Vogue raised his right hand. The clone mirrored him exactly. Palm met palm.
The moment their skin touched, Vogue didn't feel anything much.
It was as though his body was a body of water, like a gate to another dimension.
The skin on his hand and arm suddenly opened up like a blooming flower. Billions of tiny threads of flesh, muscles, and blood vessels opened up and spread outward. The exact same thing happened to the clone's body. Then, like two drops of water touching and instantly merging into one larger drop, they flowed together seamlessly and became one unified being.
The second clone stepped up on his left. Vogue turned his head and offered his other hand. Same thing happened as the clone literally walked into him like a magic trick.
The last clone came straight on and walked directly into his back and merged with him.
Vogue's own back opened to receive the clone.
Warm, living tissue poured in. He felt every organ settled into place beside its twin: two livers becoming one stronger liver, two hearts beating as one perfect pump. Lungs expanded together, drawing a single deep breath that carried the clean scent of the morning air.
Vogue grinned as he felt his body become even stronger. He clenched his fist and thunder exploded within his clenched palm.
"Status!"
Instantly, a crimson screen came into view.

Vogue was immediately excited. As he saw an increase of 10 percent in evolved cells. But then frowned. He leveled up his combat technique, shouldn't he have been able to reach 100 percent evolved cells by now?
He didn't know what was wrong and was confused. Also the killing edge axe is a human grade technique! He should have seen even more boost and fully evolved his cells.
He shook his head and decided to as someone later. But the strength coursing through his body right now, was about 50 percent more than yesterday.
Vogue was so sure he would be able to handle Claire today and he wouldn't be in the receiving end today…
