Kael took a deep breath and covered his fists with fire. Then, he proceeded to a swinging motion, which caused a dragon made out of pure fire, the size of a building, to come straight for Maxwell.
However, despite this, Maxwell didn't even react. Instead, he teleported to the side, dodging the dragon completely or so he thought.
The dragon made out of fire, turned and was now right behind Maxwell, it's jaw already open. Maxwell slightly widened his eyes but remained calm, flicking his finger at the dragon, which caused it to disappear from the power of the flick. "Cocky people like you are the most annoying," Maxwell said with a sigh. "I am tired of hearing the same thing over and over."
Kael slightly backed up, realizing the amount of difference in power. "How...?"
"I don't think you have time to be surprised," Maxwell said, calmly standing there. "Unless you want to spend the night here."
Kael clenched his fists and rushed at him, launching a few punches, which Maxwell slightly dodged by taking a step back. However, after a little while, Maxwell was driven into a corner, making him completely cornered. "Quite impressive," Maxwell said without any expressions, which almost made it seem that he was sarcastic. "It is a good method...but it won't work against anyone strong, especially, your father."
Kael scoffed and jumped into the air, about to launch yet another fire dragon. Though, before he could, Maxwell suddenly disappeared and appeared a couple of meters behind Kael.
Kael instantly went pale as soon as he saw that. He froze in place.
Maxwell slightly turned his head. "It seems that you have noticed. I didn't teleport. That was my speed."
Before Kael could respond, a large burst of blood came out of his body, a claw mark on the front of his body appearing. "A claw mark?! What the hell is this guy?"
Maxwell sighed. "I knew this wasn't going to work out. I don't want to sound cold-blooded but you are too weak. Even if we train you, it would still take a considerable amount of time for you to defeat Ronx."
"You can leave now," Maxwell said, suddenly disappearing soon after.

Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Undead Crow organization, Zombie and Vivian were standing in front of the man who people call, "The boss".
He had a mask on so nobody could see his face but looked to be in a terrible condition, it was clear that his time of death would soon arrive. Possibly in a few days.
His wrinkles showed that he was an old man and every breath he took felt like his last. This was the man who founded the Undead Crow organization. The legend, the myth.
Nobody knew his name, but everyone knew his nickname. "The boss".
Zombie slightly bowed, hands behind his back. Vivian simply stood there, quite nervous as it was her first time meeting him. "I heard that you requested us?"
"Ah...yes. The thing is...that I don't have much time to live and I want you...to select the new boss. However...before that, I would like you to defeat someone. Someone...that if killed, will make the world...a better place. He is in Elephant City and he is known as, "Owen the clone." Defeat him." Said the boss.
Zombie slightly bowed once again. "As you wish," He said, leaving with Vivian.
After, walking for a bit, Vivian finally asked. "Who is Owen the clone anyway? Sounds like trouble."
"I heard of him. He can apparently turn into anyone, copying their entire behavior, voice and everything in between. Which makes him quite the nuisance to track," Zombie said without much expressions. He never smiled, though, so did she.
"Why did the boss or whatever, tell us to do this job? It's not like we are extremely strong," Vivian wondered, smoking like usual with the cold face.
"Your guess is as good as mine. It's better to do the job then to question him." Zombie said with a sigh. "Time to go to Elephant City, I guess."
----------------------------
Meanwhile, Kael was sitting in an office. An police station office.
The man that was sitting in front of him was ???, who owned the office. "I heard you weren't able to finish the job."
Kael slightly flinched when he spoke, not daring to look him in the eyes. ??? noticed and slightly smiled, placing his hand on Kael's shoulder. "Don't worry about it. It was too foolish of me to think that a fifteen year old kid would be able to kill Ronx falcon."
Kael slightly nodded, though, his voice and words were comforting, Kael felt everything except comfort. His hands were even slightly trembling, unusual for someone like him. "The leader of the largest criminal organization being a police officer? Q-Quite odd," Kael said, trying to change the subject.
??? answered, "I hide in plain sight. Nobody would think that a police officer would be a criminal and even if they were to think that, my history is clean. Not even a single speeding ticket is on my name. Know how? Money."
Kael nodded, taking a deep breath.
"Anyway, the main reason why I called you here is because I want you to kill someone. Your father is too difficult to kill as if right now, at least. However, there is someone that if killed, would make the world a better place. Kill "Owen the clone" and bring his head to me. He should be in Elephant city and you will know who he is once you arrive there," ??? said with smile that felt strangely off.
Kael immediately stood up and left.
For Elephant City.
