Villain With The Strongest System-Chapter 2: Abduction
Chapter 2: Abduction
(True Elite Guild Headquarters, The Upside)
Rocky shivered uncontrollably as he could not get a grip on his emotions.
First responders had arrived pretty quickly at the blast site, and so had some climbers from the True Elite Guild that his sister was a part of.
The firefighters did not let Rocky near the flaming apartment; however, they searched every last room of the apartment for any sign of Riva or her dead body but found no traces of life.
Whether it be unfortunately or fortunately, they found no signs of any dead body within the apartment, as Riva was declared to be missing.
The climbers from the True Elite Guild, who were apparently Riva's team members, juniors, and superiors, searched the house for any sign of forced entry or struggle. However, despite using detection spells and advanced tower technology, the blast seemed to have reduced the entire apartment to ashes, and even if there were signs left behind by the intruder, they seemed to be incinerated by the fire.
Among the climbers that had come to the blast site, Rocky knew one 'Uncle Joe' really well as he was the second in command in Riva's raid party and was someone whom his sister trusted a lot.
It was to this Uncle Joe to whom Rocky revealed everything he knew about today's accident, and it was he who escorted Rocky from the blast site to the True Elite Guild headquarters for his own safety.
Although Rocky protested a lot, saying that he wished to search for his sister on his own, Joe firmly denied his demands and forcefully brought him to the guild headquarters for a meeting with the guildmaster.
*********
(The guildmaster's office)
Rocky shivered as he constantly worried about the state that his sister was in as although he did not vocally express it much, his sister actually meant the world to him.
Their parents were normal middle-class people who were not chosen to be climbers.
Their father was a financial consultant, and their mother was an orthopaedic doctor as the Yadav family of four was a small and happy unit.
Two years ago, just a day or two after Riva turned 18, their mother and father died suddenly in a car accident as Rocky and Riva were orphaned overnight.
It was on this very day when Riva got the news that their parents had died, that she awakened as a climber and the life of the brother and sister suddenly changed overnight.
After their parents' untimely death, Riva took up the financial mantle of the family and looked after Rocky's every need while also making a name for herself as a rookie climber.
She was a prodigy, a rising star, and someone who uplifted the Yadav family from middle class to urban elite in a short time.
For Rocky, she was his only family still alive, and Rocky was ready to go to hell and back if it meant that he could save her. However, unfortunately, the incident surrounding Riva was climber related, and he was not qualified enough yet to interfere.
"Man, Joe, I told Riva to move into the upside, man. We have an apartment for her here.
It would have been safer for her here, man, however, just because she did not want her little brother to go through a stressful high school change, she kept declining the apartment.
Fuck, man."
"Hey, bunny, keep your voice down, man. That kid is sitting right inside the guildmaster's office; he may hear you," Joe said as Rocky heard everything the two talked about outside.
Rocky and Riva used to live on the 42nd floor of a high-end luxurious apartment, and the area they lived in was by no means a district full of crime or problems.
They lived amongst really wealthy families who had a considerable influence over the local administration; however, the upside was undoubtedly in a league of its own.
A fortified mini-township where only mega billionaires and the most important climbers of the country lived, the upside was a residential area where buying a house needed more than just mere money.
It was Rocky's dream to buy a house there someday after he became a climber; however, he had no idea that his sister had already gotten an offer to buy an apartment there.
The fact that she declined a life of luxury just because he would not have to go through the stress of changing schools made Rocky feel even more emotional as he was reminded of just how kind and noble his sister was.
*SWOOSH*
Rocky was surprised when the office door suddenly flung open, and a tall and handsome man walked into the room with a deep frown on his face.
Rocky did not even need to take a good look at his face to recognize him as he was arguably one of the most famous and influential humans on Earth at the moment. freew(e)bnovel
Hailed as one of the three strongest climbers and the leader of the undisputed strongest climber guild of them all, he was guildmaster Karna, a ranker who had managed to cross the threshold of being a mere human by ascending to floor 51 of the tower. His presence itself was suffocating, his aura intense. No matter what room he walked into, it was assured that he would become the centre of attraction in that room.
As he sat across from Rocky, he looked into Rocky's eyes and let out a deep sigh before extending his hand as if offering it for a handshake.
For a moment, Rocky was perplexed; he did not expect the guildmaster of the prestigious True Elite Guild to shake his hand. However, after leaving him hanging for a few seconds, Rocky finally responded as he shook his hand.
Up to this point, Rocky trembled constantly. However, as soon as he shook Karna's hand, he felt a sense of warmth washing over him as his nerves calmed down, and he stopped trembling.
"Rocky Yadav, let me first offer my sincere apologies for this lapse in security from the True Elite Guild.
We were supposed to be protecting your sister, but we failed. I don't know how to softly tell you this, but I reckon you would not want anything less than the absolute truth regarding this subject, so I'll not mince my words.
It looks like agents of Olympus gods have kidnapped your sister," Karna said as Rocky suddenly felt his heart rate spike and his vision double after hearing this sentence.
*Crash*
He slipped awkwardly from the chair he was sitting on and hit the floor below as his body began shivering as if it was going into epileptic shock.
"AMELIA, AMELIA, SOMEONE SEND THE HEALER HERE, THE BOY'S UNDERGOING AN AWAKENING. AMELIA-"
Rocky heard guildmaster Karna shouting before his vision completely blacked out, and he lost consciousness.
