The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus’s declaration stunned his friends, each looking at him with frowning expressions.

“The Yin-Yang Palace? Isn’t that the least-performing faction in the academy?” Anna asked, clearly not liking the idea of not joining the faction her sister was in.

“Yeah, according to Sister, the Yin-Yang Palace is the weakest faction in the entire academy. Why are we going to join them?” Lily also said.

“Scarlet is going to leave me if she finds out I’ll be joining the Yin-Yang Palace,” Kilian said with a defeated smile.

“Not just you, dude; I may be losing the twins because of this,” Mark also said, shaking his head.

He and the Zhou twins had become quite close recently, but Klaus might just cost them their love lives before they even start.

But while his two lovers and friends were frowning, Klaus held a small smile on his lips.

“What about you, big sis? Do you think this is a bad move?” Klaus asked Hanna.

“I’ll go wherever you go, brother. Even if it means going down to hell, I will follow you,” Hanna said casually.

“I’ll arrange that one day,” Klaus said before turning back to his friends. Clearly, Hanna was now devoted to him. Of course, none of them were aware just yet, but they were linked in ways they didn’t know.

“You guys should chill. So what if the Yin-Yang Palace is the weakest? With us joining, they’ll soon become the strongest,” Klaus said with a smile.

“And you, Anna, don’t you want to face your sister somewhere in the future and see how much you’ve grown in a competition where she can’t hold back against you?”

“What about you, Lily? Both your brothers and sister are there. I know for a fact there’s a little warrior spirit burning inside you, telling you to challenge them and see how you’d fare against them.”

“Joining the Yin-Yang Palace would pit you against them. Plus, you’d also be close to me. I doubt they would allow cross-faction movement. This means that if you don’t join the Yin-Yang Palace, you won’t be getting the good stuff,” Klaus said with a big smile.

Anna and Lily blushed. “Are you blackmailing us with your—” Lily wanted to continue, but she had to hold back.

“What if I am? But I guess it’s between my good stuff and the other factions. You two should think hard about it.”

“And you bastards, isn’t the whole idea of going to the academy to get some beauties? Then why are you all panicking over something this small?”

“Something this small? Do you know how hard it was for us to get the ladies we have now? We had to get into the top 20, unlike you, who, with just a smile, thousands will be running after you,” Danny glared at Klaus.

“It’s not my fault I’m handsome,” Klaus shamelessly said.

“You…” Danny and the boys just couldn’t believe their ears.

“No need to be alarmed. If there is any consolation, know that I plan on asking your women to join the Yin-Yang Palace, too,” Klaus said with a smile.

“Really?” Danny and the boys’ eyes brightened when they heard he planned to invite Scarlet and the ladies to join the Yin-Yang Palace.

“Of course. You guys are my bros. After all, it would be rude if I destroyed your relationships like that. That said, if they refuse, then you should say bye-bye to them. I will help you get more girls later. Lol.”

“Unbelievable,” Kilian said, shaking his head.

Klaus just smiled at them before turning to his two fairies. “Well, ladies, what would your answer be? The good stuff or the other factions?” he asked with a smile.

Lily and Anna blushed and chose not to answer. Klaus took that as a yes to his proposal.

“Good. Now that we all agree, know that before we all become saints, the Yin-Yang Palace will become the strongest in the outer area, and then we will move to the Inner Area, where we will take that place over, too.

We will all have to work extra hard. If the instructor sent last time was just an outer disciple, imagine how strong our opponents will be.

Of course, we don’t have to worry about whatever the other factions pull off. As long as we slap them silly whenever they try to act cocky, the Yin-Yang Palace will be ruling the place sooner than you think.”

Danny and the others nodded. They knew with Klaus by their side, there was nothing they couldn’t handle. If only they knew the danger Klaus was going to put them through.

Back when they were in Sinji Valley for the genius gathering, Instructor Cephas, the one who oversaw the entire event, said he was just a mere outer disciple on a mission to earn some celestial points.

But from what Klaus could see, his aura was several times stronger than the other saints and even the monsters at the level of saints he had met. This means the academy is indeed a scary place. Continue reading on empire

After ensuring they were all on the same page, Klaus sat back and decided to look out the window as they jetted toward Union City.

“Brother, do you think Mom will be alright?” Hanna suddenly asked Klaus. The look on her face showed she was already missing her mom.

“She’ll be fine, big sis. Miriam and the others are with her, so you don’t have to worry,” Klaus said, reaching for her. Soon, her head was on his shoulder.

“We just have to hurry and form our Star Cores fast so we can get some holiday and come visit her, okay?” he added, brushing his hand through her hair.

“Okay, brother,” Hanna replied.

“Good.” Klaus looked toward his two vixens, who wanted some good hair rubs, too. He smiled and gestured for them to come closer.

A while later, Union City came into view, and soon, they landed at the same airport as the last time they were there for the Union Trial.

Immediately, they got down, and media houses started surrounding them.

“Klaus Hanson, do you have a moment to say a few words to your fans?”

“Klaus Hanson, many want to know which faction you plan on joining.”

“Klaus Hanson, is it true you have the power to take on a sovereign?”

Many voices were asking different questions as Klaus and his pals started moving out of the jet. Of course, he wasn’t about to answer their questions… Well, that was until a certain lady spoke.

“Klaus Hanson, this is KKKickinIt. Do you have a few words for your fans?” Klaus, who was moving, suddenly stopped and turned toward the source of the voice.

There, he saw the beauty he had always seen on his screens. However, to his shock, the lady was a Great Sage, and from the look of her aura, she wasn’t a greenhouse flower like most would think.

It took him just a glance to get to know the lady before he was terrifying. KKKickinIt also seemed to have noticed him reading her aura and smiled.

Klaus smiled too and moved toward her…
