Corrupted soul

Mask of illusion!

BANG!

Within an office of a rather extravagant looking building located in the central part of city of Zaril. A loud sound akin to that of an explosion resounded! The wall of the office was smashed to the point that one could easily see through to the other side of the room next door.

"Fuck! What do you mean that the bastard who killed my son got away!" A man who seems to be in his late thirties with a bulky built yelled! The man had neatly trimmed white hair, and eyebrow as sharp as a blade.

The man was a famous businessman who owns one of the biggest companies within the kingdom of Barat. Wyatt Harts, his fame was so high that not even high ranked nobles would dare to go against him.

Kneeling on the ground was a man who was completely dressed in black, the one who was assigned with the duty of protecting his son from the shadows, "You! How useless can you people be? You who came from the temple of shadows claimed to be the best of the best and yet, you're own Incompetence allowed the perpetrator of my son's death to escape!" Wyatt exclaimed, his face red in anger.

"Tch, forgive me... the boy was able to use lightning to increase his speed, even at my best it's impossible for me to contend with that kind of speed." The man's face grimaced as he explained, he couldn't help but bit his lower lip to control his rage at the thought that someone was looking down on the 'Temple of shadows' "Silence! I do not want to hear any excuses!" Wyatt said coldly, he was already pissed off that his one and only son was now dead, and the man that was supposed to be protecting him was making up excuses to save his face!

He was so angry that he really wanted to kill the man before him but. Unfortunately, doing so was no different than declaring war on the 'Temple of shadows' His influence was strong but, that influence was only strong within the kingdom of Barat, as for the forces outside the kingdom he'd be nothing more than a mere ant before those great powers.

Not to mention the 'Temple of shadows' Was a part of the 'Temple of darkness' Even though the temple of darkness had been silent for over a decade now everyone who heard stories of them still feared them!

Wyatt wasn't dumb enough to think he would be able to go against the temple of darkness that even the kings and emperors don't want to provoke! Besides...

"You said that you saw that woman there?" He questioned. The man wearing black nodded his head seriously. "Yes, and she wasn't alone. The crimson sword was with her." He explained. "What! That man is here as well. Why would two big shots show up in a city like this?" Wyatt frowned.

Jessica Levine, also known as the "Queen of beast" There was no one in the current Era who doesn't know the weight that title holds. As she is known as the strongest summoner and the most talented beast tamer.

There were many ignorant folks who had angered her in the past only to have their entire city completely destroyed by her army of beast! She is treated as a natural disaster by even the royals as no one dared to go against her.

'I'm not surprised that she was with the crimson sword as those two had always had a good friendship but, if she is here does it have anything to do with that man?' He wondered. It was no secret that Jessica came from the "Temple of power" One of five great temples that existed in this world! Unlike the Temple of shadows and the temple of darkness which is always in conflict with the temple of light, the temple of power was neutral and didn't get involved with any other outside sources. They didn't even get involved with the "Temple of peace" One of the friendlier temples out there.

"Just what was their purpose of coming here?" Wyatt placed his hand beneath his chin as he pondered to himself. The man from the temple of shadows also frowned. He had only seen Jessica once at a gathering many years ago.
