The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 444 The Vow

Somewhere in the Southern Union, inside one of the rooms in the large plane taking the disciples to the academy, a young man and a young lady could be seen sipping on their drinks. The lady has long dark hair and beautiful features.

This young lady is Madison Blake, one of the top rankers from the Southern Union. The young man is another top ranker, Mason Cole.

One doesn't need a brain to know they are dating. However, while those dating should be inside each other's embrace at the moment, they both held an anticipated look on their faces.

"Finally, we will be meeting that arrogant bastard who thinks he is above everyone," Mason muttered, clenching his fist.

"Relax, Mason, we will get our chance to shut him up. But first, we have to prepare for the others from the other unions," Madison said, sipping her drink.

Just like the legacies in the Northern Union, Madison is a legacy. However, Mason isn't. But because of his potential, he was practically a part of the legacies.

They are all prideful and want to get back at Klaus because he dragged the legacies through the mud in the Northern Union.

Yes, Klaus only targeted the legacies in the Northern Union, but because of how disrespectful he has been, the other legacies seem to have taken offence to this.

Of course, not all of them are bothered, but the prideful ones are offended and want to get back at him at all costs.

Madison and Mason have been anticipating this moment for a very long time, and soon, they will come face-to-face with Klaus.

Of course, it would depend on their strength.

But it wasn't just them who wanted a piece of Klaus; inside most rooms, dozens, if not hundreds, wanted a piece of him.

In their eyes, they all must defeat Klaus to prove something. As for what that is, nobody truly knows.

Almost all legacies on Earth want a piece of him. The clans want a piece of him, and even most of the great families. Of course, the question still remains: do they have the strength to do anything to him?

That answer, of course, would soon be revealed. After all, many prodigies haven't shown themselves as Klaus did, so who knows if he will meet some hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

"Lil bro, do you think mom will be alright?" Hanna asked, sitting quietly on her side of the bed while Klaus was busy drinking his third pour of a certain fruit juice while biting into an apple.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. Miriam, Ohema, and Nadia are there with her; she'll be more than okay," Klaus replied. But Hanna didn't seem convinced by his response.

"Come here," Klaus said, extending his arm. He could tell the young lady had difficulty letting go for a few months.

Hanna moved and sat beside him. Klaus smiled and took out his phone, dialling his mom's number. The phone rang only once, and his mom's face appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Mom," Klaus smiled, looking at her cry-soaked eyes and staring at them through the phone.

"Hello, Mom," Hanna also said, looking slightly better now. Klaus's mom tried to speak, but her tears started falling.

"Jeez, Mom, we'll be gone for only a few months. No need to be overly dramatic. Crying won't stop us from leaving—Ouch!"

Before Klaus could finish his shameless sentence, Hanna smacked his head before taking the phone.

"That's my baby girl," their mom said.

This display brought a smile to her face. Hanna and Klaus smiled back, seeing she seemed to have calmed down a bit.

"Have you guys left already?" their mom asked.

"Yup... We're in the air now."

"I see." The mom nodded. Miriam and Ohema could be seen beside her. Of course, Klaus wanted to tease them, but Hanna didn't allow him.

"Big Sis was just missing you, so I had to call and say another goodbye." Klaus missed her, too, but he's a guy.

Guys don't cry over things like this.

"At least I have one child who isn't a lunatic," Klaus's mom laughed. Ohema and Miriam also shared their sentiments.

"Mom, you don't have to worry too much about us. We will be fine. Just take care of yourself. In a few months, we will come visit you."

"Okay, my baby girl. I will take care of myself. But promise me you will also take care of yourself and your brother. Although he's acting tough, I know he's a softy inside. Take care of him for me, alright?"

"I will, Mom. I'll make sure he doesn't do anything reckless this time," Hanna promised with a smile.

"That's my girl. You guys should get some rest. I know you'll have a big day coming up soon." She hung up the call with a confident look in her eyes. But the next second, she was shedding tears.

This continued for a while before she calmed down. Then she got busy doing everyone's hair in the house. When she was done, she redid it and continued every day until Klaus and her sister returned.

The woman is just too attached to her children.

Meanwhile, Klaus, who received his phone back from Hanna, bit into an apple and started chewing. Unlike most who try to remain elegant, Klaus was all about the food.

Hanna gave him a sidelong glance but didn't say anything. Unlike Klaus, who didn't care about elegance, she did and wouldn't indulge in something like this.

"What are you doing?" The next second, however, Klaus shoved an apple in her face and placed his head on her lap.

"Eat up, Big Sis. These apples are different, and as poor people, we can't really let go of the chance to eat when offered," Klaus laughed.

"Unbelievable." Hanna couldn't believe her eyes. Who was he calling poor? He had the richest person on earth in his bed every single night.

"Go ahead, eat up," Klaus pushed her hand, and Hanna, who didn't want to resist much, decided to take a bite. Of course, as soon as she did, she felt a rush of energy enter her body, filling her up.

"Wow, this is actually good." Hanna started eating just like Klaus.

"Told you." Klaus smiled and also began devouring the apple. They continued for a while until they were full. The next second, Klaus fell asleep.

Hanna looked at his sleeping face and smiled. "A big softy indeed," she muttered, brushing her hand through his hair.

'I owe him everything. Without him, I would have long been dead by now,' Hanna thought inwardly and sighed.

'Thank you for smiling at me that day, lil bro. Without that smile, I wouldn't have had the will to approach you.'

She looked at his sleeping face, and a determined look appeared.

'I am going to get stronger, brother. Very strong. No matter the danger, I will face them with you. I will become your strength and your most loyal sister. I will brave the darkness with you and be your shining star when you need one,' she vowed.

She continued brushing her hand through his hair for an hour before falling back on the bed and dozing off.

A few seconds after she fell asleep, a star tattoo appeared on her forehead for a few seconds before vanishing.

Somewhere far away, a star that looked like it was dying suddenly shuddered and glowed nine times before dimming. Then, rings started to form around it.
