My King System
Chapter 194 - Arthur

"Summoning Skill: Phoenix"

"Activate ability: Mind Read"

Seeing as Adam had activated his phoenix, Scar followed suit right after to match Adam in strength. 

"So you can summon a phoenix too? You must be a late joiner. You're probably level 25 and got cocky so you came as soon as you leveled up. Well too bad! I'm the number 17 strongest person in this entire clan. You being level 25 could probably get you to rank 20 or 19 if you're lucky. But still! I stand above you!" Adam yelled as he forced his phoenix to fly closer to Scar as he made his palm face Scar, which the phoenix took the order and began to attack; however, it was stopped quickly by Scar's own summon. 

"Sir Adam, I do not mean to be rude but you made a wrong statement. You're no longer the 17th strongest. As of today, you're the 18th strongest with Scar joining the top 20 in the number 15 spot as he surpassed a few others who also happen to be level 26. So technically speaking, he has more authority than you do from now on," the lady as the registration told Adam, which shocked the self absorbed man in the white suit. 

"Are you seriously telling me this homeless man is stronger than me? Even so, why is he defending this weaker one over here," Adam asked while referring to Yuki. 

"That's because you hit my boss idiot!" Scar yelled out as he delivered a devastating punch to Adam's face. 

"Your boss? Why would you work for someone weaker than you? Is it because he has money, fame, political influence?! Answer me, why do you serve him," Adam asked as he went in to punch Scar in the face so he could get revenge but Scar easily caught Adam's first. 

"Because unlike you, he doesn't reveal all his cards right away," said Scar as he was about to go in for a punch but stopped when someone behind him grabbed a hold of his shoulder lightly yet it felt as if there was a whole truck on his shoulder. 

"Please let go of him. Fights between clan members are prohibited," the voice behind Scar said.

"He was the one who started it!" Scar argued as he snapped out of his fear. 

"I understand. He will be punished for his actions obviously however please try to not fight anyone else from now on," the voice behind Scar said. Hearing those words, Scar immediately let go of Scar's hand as he began to breathe heavily for some odd reason. 

"Once getting a proper look at who was behind Scar, all of the people who worked at the registers to help the clan members and potential new members began to bow even lower. Even so, Scar and Yuki didn't bow in the least as they saw no reason to. As for Avila, she of course bowed down as she didn't want to start any trouble for herself. 

"That's fine. You don't need to bow. You're in the top 15 of my clan," the man began to speak. 

"'My clan'? Wait, are you sir Arthur, the actual leader of WD?" Scar asked with a look of excitement as he looked at the man in full royal looking armour with a large red and golden sword in his hand. It looked like Arthur had just returned from a dungeon. 

"I'm so honoured that you bothered to do research on me," said Arthur as he scratched the back of his hair as he smiled. 

"No no, it's an honour to meet you. It's not like I had to do research about you. You're currently the highest level player in the world. There isn't anyone in this word that doesn't know about you," said Scar as he himself smiled. 

"Well I'm just glad that someone as powerful as you is on our side. So feel free not to bow to me, we're basically friends from now on, as for you..." said Arthur as his voice began to get deeper while he turned his attention towards Yuki who was still signing his registration papers.

"Why aren't you bowing? You're not in the top 20 let alone in the top 15," said Arthur as he gave Yuki a disgusted look as if he was looking at a dirty pig. Hearing those words, Yuki didn't care all that much but Scar did. Seeing as he was being ignored Arthur kicked Yuki off his chair and into the distance.

"Scar, I know you used to call him your boss but from this day on, I'm your only boss and my first command unto you is to not interfere with this," said Arthur as he continued to walk towards Yuki who was beginning to stand up. 

"No Arthur, please don't do it!" Scar asked. What Arthur didn't realize was that Scar was telling him this for his own safety, not for Yuki. 

"So tell me, why do you not bow to me? I'm a level 44 player who is the leader of the most powerful clan in the world and I am now going to be your new boss. So why do you not bow before me," said Arthur as he once again kicked Yuki's chin. 

"So I really can't get out of this by staying silent. Well, I guess I better make a little effort," said Yuki as he got up once again. 

"One, switch with me and continuously stop his heart before allowing it to pump blood at the last second," Yuki commanded One telepathically. 

"Sounds a bit evil but sure. I'll help you out," said one before doing as he was told. Even with such a large level gap, One was able to push out so much presence that he could force Arthur's heart to stop working. Just as Yuki had told him, One allowed Arthur's heart to start to beat once more right before Arthur died before repeating this process. 

"What is happening to me?" said Arthur as he got to his knees from being tortured by One. Even being the strongest person in the world, he was found hopeless in the face of One's presence shocks. 

"Is there anyone who might be a healer?! I think sir Arthur is having a heart attack," Yuki yelled out to the crowd, trying to make it seem like he wasn't the one making Arthur's heart stop. 

"I am a healer! I can try to help him," one of the people in the crowd said as they began to rush onto the scene to help Arthur and in turn also gain some fame and money from saving the strongest person in the world. 

"Should I stop her heart too just as I'm doing to him?" One asked Yuki. 

"Sure," Yuki replied to One telepathically and the moment he gave the word, the healer which was coming to help Arthur collapsed before he could reach Arthur as he began to reach out for air. 

"Pl-Please help me," said Arthur as he continued to gasp for air as he felt himself dying with every second that passed. 

"Please is there anyone else who's a healer which can help him?" Yuki continued to beg while laughing on the inside from fooling everyone. Even the healers there stayed away from Arthur as they assumed that the heart disease came from him and anyone who tried to help him would get it as well. 

"H-How can something in this world harm me! I-I'm the strongest person in this world!" Arthur said as he began to grasp for his heart on the ground in hopes that the pain would go away. 

"Wait, I remember you. I saw you in a newspaper which was only published in a couple places but someone from the clan brought it to me. You're supposed to die. So why are you right in front of me, Yuki Kaito," Arthur asked Yuki in a whisper which caused Yuki to realize what he must do. He needed to show Arthur that he could never defeat him so that he wouldn't start revealing that Yuki Kaito was still alive. 

"One, make him pass out now," said Yuki telepathically. 

"Got it," said One before sending a large presence of shock to Arthur's head which caused him to lose consciousness. However right before he closed his eyes he looked up to see Yuki who was kneeling before him as he tried to help Arthur however for a split second, Arthur thought he saw Yuki grinding. 

"So it was you. I finally see why Scar follows you. You're a demon which hides in the shadows," Arthur thought to himself before losing consciousness. Right after this took place, 5 figures emerged out of nowhere and landed right in front of Arthur before picking him up from the ground and leaping into the air before finally disappearing again. 

...

"Our luck may be terrible. You're going to be on bad terms with the boss who runs this entire clan," said Scar as he reached down to the ground to Yuki who was still on his knees from executing his fake plan to torment Arthur.
