Chapter 59: Is This Mana Manipulation?!
Mira has what doctors called "anxiety disorder" No one not even Michael knew how it started.
Her fearful behavior started a long time ago. She never told anyone the cause or what triggered it, so all Michael could do was protect her.
Mira hid behind Jennifer hearing the guy in front of her name is "john".
"What is it Mira?"
Jennifer asked in mild confusion, noticing Mira's strange behavior. A deep frown settled on her face Seeing her trembling, she turned sharply to Tyson whose face was still covered.
"Who are you?!!" She roared. Her iris turned bloodred, she hates red hairs and now; This unknown stranger who was hiding his face have scared Mira. Something that won't go unpunished.
Red Mana started gathering on her palm, both Levi and Ricky quickly drew out two silver desert-eagles pointing it at Tyson.
'For heaven's sake, out of all the names in this planet why did I mention John?! Why is she even scared of the name "John"?'
"Calm down" he sighed, then slowly lowered the newspaper.
Mrs Jones was both speechless and confused. 'How is her hand glowing? And why did Mira suddenly became scared and timid after hearing the name John?'
She knew players could accomplish different feat, they could even control things with their Powers. But she hasn't seen a player do any of these things in person, And...
'Why did this kid mentioned a fake name?'
When Jennifer saw the face behind the newspaper, she growled in annoyance. "What are you doing here, Tyson?"
"Huh? You know me?" Tyson was surprised.
"Your father and I aren't on good track. I can kill you right here and send your corpse to him. But..." She looked at Mira. "Your father will go after those I love. And I don't want that to happen."
"Phew..." Tyson sighed in relief.
"Answer me, what are you doing here?"
Tyson didn't answer her, but turned to Mira. "I am sorry for scaring you dear, My name isn't John. It's Tyson." He said with a bright smile. 'I would rather offend Queen-Of-Death than Supreme. Because if I offend Supreme, I won't be able to complete my mission.'
Mira nodded slowly.
Tyson raised his head to Jennifer. "I see you are still angry."
"My anger is focused on your father, not you." Jennifer leaned forward towards him. "Tell your Dad if I ever encounter him in any game, I'll have his head?"
Tyson leaned forward too. "I see you haven't figured why they called him invincible Joker." He said with a sneer.
Levi's and Ricky's faces changed slightly. "This guy is Joker's son?" Levi turned to Ricky, lowering his gun.
"It looks like it." Ricky answered.
"Fufufufu..." Jennifer stood upright. "Oh I do, just because he has a mystical---"
Man 1: "--Quick!"
Man 2: "I am coming, I am so excited!"
Two men rushed down the stairs, running outside.
Tyson: "what is happening?"
"Wait for me!!" The third man ran towards the two.
"What is happening? Why are all of you running outside?" Mrs Jones quickly asked the man, the same man who reported the killing incident to her.
"Madam! A guild war is happening outside. We are all going to spectate!" With that said he rushed outside.
"Guild war in the neighborhood? Is that allowed around here?" Tyson turned to Mrs Jones.
"No, but I heard a guild known as the skull guild runs this neighborhood, but--"
"--They shouldn't be hosting Guild War in the midst of people, can't you stop them?" Tyson cut her off.
"Hey young man, I am a landowner not some super powerful woman. I don't have that power." Mrs Jones said sternly.
"I think I do?" Tyson brought out his phone. He turned to Mira, who was now back to her usual self.
"Is your brother around?"
"No" she shook her head.
"Why are you looking for him?" Jennifer asked.
"None of your business!" Tyson hissed.
Next moment, his body lost control ascending into the air.
"Hey! Let me go!!!"
Mrs Jones: "What the?"
Mira: "Wow!!"
Levi and Ricky: "uh oh."
'Impossible, This is [Mana manipulation] to be able to lift me into the air, Is this how terrifying she is?' Tyson thought, and yelled.
"Drop me down!! My dad won't spare you if something happens to me!!"
Jennifer's eyes turned completely Red. "Scaring me with your father's name is pointless, it might work for other players but not me... If I ask you a question, you answer; I won't ask again." She said in a calm tone.
Tyson was scared shit. 'I forgot who's in front of me.'
"I am here to ask him to join The Kings Guild." He quickly revealed his purpose.
"Join The Kings Guild?" Jennifer was stunned, she turned to Mira. "Michael play VRG?"
Mira pouted her lips. "That is the secret, now you won't buy ice cream for me."
"Fufufufu... When did I say that? Come on, let go get you ice cream and you will tell me everything that happened."
She released Tyson who fell on the couch. Jennifer and her group walked out of the lobby, leaving a stunned Mrs Jones and dumbfounded Tyson behind.
"She doesn't know Michael is Supreme?" He sat up.
"Why did you lie when she asked about your name?" Mrs Jones asked.
Tyson glared at her. He stood up, and dusted the invisible dust on his clothes then walked towards the entrance with countless thought in his head. 'How is Jennifer related to Michael? She isn't in the information gained.'
"Are you leaving?" Mrs Jones asked.
He stopped at the door and turned to her. 'Why didn't I think of it? This old woman knows Jennifer and also Michael. She will surely know the relationship between the two.'
He walked back with a smile. "Just kidding Mrs Jones, oh... I want to ask you something." He took his sit.
"What is that?" Mrs Jones sat down.
"It's nothing much, I just want to know the relationship between Michael and Jennifer."
_______
70 yards from Michael's apartment building. A man-made Arena was built measuring 5,000 square feet. Chairs were place on both sides of the Arena for those who are spectating.
Jennifer's Lincoln was park at the north side of the Arena, while the spectators sat on both the east and west side.
The two guild masters with their vice walked forward, stopping 20 feet from each other.
Skull guild's Guild master observed the three people in front of him. "I see you're getting old Rahond, why is she here?" He asked the Shadow Guild's Guild master.
Rahond laughed loudly. "You are the one who is getting old, and Rick. She is my new vice."
Rick was stunned. "Your new vice? What about him?" He pointed at the third figure.
"I am an elder, Mr Rick." The man who was once the vice said with a smile.
Rick shook his head with a sneer. "You never change Rahond."
