Chapter 37: The Communicator

Ma Feng woke up in his dormitory, waking up to the smell coming from the kitchen. Ma Feng slowly opened his dimmed eyes as he licked his watery lips. He turned to see Xi Jing seated on a chair.

"Xi Jing?" Ma Feng called out.

"Oh Ma Feng, you’re awake already... You fell asleep and were rushed back into the dormitory. You’ve been asleep for three days now. How are you feeling?" Xi Jing asked, a bright smile showing broadly on his face.

"I’ve been asleep for three straight days? And besides, what’s that delicious smell coming from the kitchen?" Ma Feng asked while pointing in the kitchen’s direction—just as Rose walked out.

Dressed in pink pajamas, she carried a tray with delicious food in pots. Ma Feng widened his gaze in shock. His mouth was already too watery as he licked his lips continuously.

"Brother Ma Feng, you’re awake already... I cooked you a delicious delicacy—fried ramen with lots of chicken inside. I hope you like it," Rose said as she slowly dropped the tray on the bed. Ma Feng nodded.

"Oh my gosh... The aroma is so delicious," Ma Feng said as he grabbed a pot from the tray. He sat down on the bed, crossed his legs, and began rushing the food. Xi Jing wasn’t really hungry.

Rose’s bright smile showed she was satisfied seeing Ma Feng enjoy her delicacy. Ma Feng was still rushing the food when a knock was heard at the door and Romeo walked into the room.

"Hey guys," Romeo called out with a smile on his face.

"Oh Ma Feng, you’re awake already... I was quite worried since you were asleep for three days. Even your proctor was kinda worried. It was fearsome," Romeo said while staring at Ma Feng, who continued to eat.

"Yeah, yeah, I guess so. So tell me... how’s the gang?" Ma Feng asked as he slowly raised his head to stare at Romeo. Romeo had a cute face and an innocent look but quite deadly powers—although it may seem ordinary to the rest of the world.

But Ma Feng alone knew how deadly Romeo could be with such flower magics. Flower magics didn’t just mean controlling flowers alone. He could control an entire jungle without stress.

"The gang is fine, and thanks to Beatrice, we’ve been registered in the Council of the Underworld. The Dragon Knights are now quite known to the world, Ma Feng... But there’s something strange going on," Romeo said.

"Something strange? What do you mean by that?" Ma Feng asked.

"The Syndrome has now declared us wanted—willing to give anyone a thousand gold coins if they can deal with us. And besides, the Luminous Society is now interested in our case," Romeo answered.

"The Luminous Society? You’re talking about the most deadly organization in the Underworld. I’ve heard the new leader of the Luminous Society is quite strong, but his identity is still unknown," Ma Feng said.

"You’re the leader of the Dragon Knights. It won’t be long before crazy battles start happening in the Underworld. Both Beatrice and Jude are out there gathering information," Romeo said.

"Uhm... what do you have to say about this, Xi Jing?" Ma Feng asked.

He slowly licked his lips after finishing the ramen. He turned to face Xi Jing, who was still seated comfortably on the chair. Xi Jing was tending to the magazine he held, then sighed calmly.

"The Dragon Knights—we can be respected once we defeat the Syndrome, but we’ll be feared if we defeat the Luminous Society. It’ll pave a long way for us," Xi Jing said, and Ma Feng nodded.

"Yeah, I also think so. It’s too risky, I guess. We’ll be the target of both the Punishers and the top ten secret societies if that happens. The Luminous Society has held power for three decades now."

"It’ll cause an imbalance in the power structure. We have to act smart," Ma Feng said as he grabbed meat from the pot. He began devouring the meat with a smile on his face while they watched him.

"But big brother, you once talked about the neutrality, right? The Dragon Knights shouldn’t be all about power. We have to be cunning and smart... We should twist both the Punishers and the Underworld..."

"To control the power balance!!" Rose said while smiling.

"Yeah, Rose is right—and we’ll do just that. We’ll be manipulating both the Underworld and the Light. I’ll be playing both sides—one as the Dragon King, and the second as the Communicator."

"Playing two sides of the game at once so there won’t be a loss. Either side wins—we win," Ma Feng said while chewing the bones. He rose up from the bed and whistled softly, still smiling.

"What exactly are you planning, Ma Feng?" Romeo asked.

"I already thought about this beforehand, so I’ll be taking action soon. We’ll need connections with both the Luminous Society and the Punishers as well. I’ve done my calculations already," Ma Feng said.

Ma Feng stretched forth his hand and a book appeared in it. Romeo grabbed the book and gasped in shock. He looked up at Ma Feng, who remained calm the whole time.

"You ordered Beatrice to hack the Erafel Device of every member of the Punishers to give out distinctive information concerning the Underworld? How did you do that?" Romeo asked, staring at Ma Feng.

"That’s a secret. And now... I’ll be getting ready for school," Ma Feng said as he walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Romeo was stunned by the calculations written in the book, and he sighed.

"Ma Feng is really crazy," Romeo said to himself, then smiled.

Meanwhile

Miss Sarah walked into the Headquarters of The Punishers located in the North. She could hear the alarm blaring heavily when she turned to face the mighty plasma television which appeared in the air.

"What is that?" Miss Sarah asked.

"Miss Sarah of the Five Fingers, we were told of your visitation. I am Senior John, a fourth-year upper-class student under the Military Department, and I am here as your escort," a student walked up to Miss Sarah.

"Senior John, right? What’s with this system malfunctioning?" Miss Sarah asked. She knew something was definitely wrong by everything she was seeing. She is entirely a secret and manipulative being.

"Nothing serious, but it seems like there is a hacker trying to get into our system. Our security team is working on it," the student said when Miss Sarah frowned. She vanished, then appeared inside the Security Hall.

The students present were all stunned to see her when she advanced towards the mysterious-looking, magically imbued computers. She started controlling the hacking system with her hands as she was smart enough to understand everything.

"Miss... Miss... Miss Sarah, what are you doing?" the leader of the Security Team asked.

"I am decoding the virus encryption to figure out where and who is behind this. This is a virus powerful enough to destroy the system base, but it’s trying to hack into the main system and unleash a file," Miss Sarah said.

She was trying to control the system, but it was too late. The hacker had cracked the code beforehand, and all the plasma televisions, once blank, were now showing a single whitish symbol on the screen.

"Greetings to you all... The Punishers and Keepers of Justice. I am The Communicator, and I am not an enemy but an ally—an ally of justice to get rid of the Underworld and to liberate everyone.

"My goal is the same as yours... My goal is to simply eradicate the Top Ten Secret Societies and keep evil from returning again. So why don’t we work together and join hands? Let’s destroy the Underworld."

The systematic voice coming out from the televisions echoed throughout the Punishers Headquarters while everyone stayed calm, watching the TV. A package was immediately delivered to their doorsteps.

"A package has been delivered to you. Inside the package are informations regarding six of the Top Ten Secret Societies—useful informations that will help you with your mission of justice.

"Like I said... we both want the same thing. Why don’t we help each other?" the voice said once again before the lights went off. The power was restored, but the hacker had already left the system.

"This is news that concerns the top officials. Summon them at once," the leader of the Security Team ordered, while Miss Sarah wore a dark grin on her face. Someone had actually beaten her when it came to the system.

And that excites her the most... She would like to know who this Communicator is. Others felt him as a liberator, but Miss Sarah knew this was a fraud, and someone was solemnly behind all of this.

"The Communicator, huh? I am coming to get you!"
