Chapter 102: Chapter 82: The Mysterious First Generation Hero (1)

```

After leaving the Imperial City, Catherine suddenly stretched out her arm and pulled Qin Chu into her embrace.

Don’t think for a moment that this was any kind of pleasure.

However, the athletic waist she touched did feel quite nice, and Qin Chu’s hands unapologetically wrapped around Catherine’s supple waist.

The moment Qin Chu’s hand touched her, Catherine immediately felt the roughness of his fingertips, and a rosy blush spread across her fair cheeks.

When facing Qin Chu, Catherine’s body became exceptionally sensitive. Her breathing became hurried, and deep inside she began to long for Qin Chu to cherish her.

Rose Vesper looked over at Catherine with a hint of pity as her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

"Mr. Brave, we need to speed up. Hold on tight," Catherine said in a deep breath, her voice low.

The next second, Catherine’s slender legs bent slightly, and the searing energy of the Star Flame Fighting Energy gathered in her legs. Her athletic legs were wrapped in flames, and with a loud bang, the fiery energy burst forth from her feet. Holding Qin Chu, she shot forward with the speed of a shooting star.

Her speed was incredibly fast.

Countless blurry trees rushed past on either side, and the air turned into sharp blades whistling by her face, bringing with it waves of burning pain.

Nadia was somewhat taken aback. Weren’t they supposed to take the Hero to engage in real combat?

What was this all for?

Though she was puzzled, Nadia didn’t dwell on it. She spread her hands, and the rampaging storm surged around her, carrying Nadia’s petite body leisurely towards the horizon.

In terms of speed, she was slightly slower than Catherine, but she was much more relaxed.

Bringing up the rear was Rose Vesper, who controlled Light Attribute magic, Spiritual magic from scrolls, and some weird powers.

Speed was not Rose Vesper’s forte, but she had plenty of endurance and strong self-healing abilities. Although she was the last, she was far from falling behind.

Catherine glanced back briefly and saw that Nadia was at some distance from her, which gave her some peace of mind. Against the wind, Catherine lowered her voice and said, "Master, I have obtained an important piece of information."

"What information?" Qin Chu asked.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the fierce wind immediately poured in, nearly tearing Qin Chu’s mouth apart.

The characteristics of the Star Flame Fighting Energy were not simply about explosive energy—when cultivated to the extreme, it could even grant a speed comparable to that of a meteor.

"It’s about the Hero Team..."

Qin Chu’s expression instantly became grave.

The reason why he went through such great lengths to completely control Catherine was to use her as a spy embedded deeply in the Hero Team, so he could constantly keep track of the Hero Team’s actions. After all, because of his different approach in the second week compared to the first, the Hero Team’s plans were bound to diverge.

"A member of the Hero Team, the noble Swordsman Ronald, has learned the location of a Soul Fragment of the First Generation Brave."

Qin Chu’s pupils suddenly contracted for a moment, and he felt his body tense up instantaneously.

Though he had never met the First Generation Brave, Qin Chu instinctively regarded the man as his greatest enemy.

To resurrect the First Generation Brave, one must collect the Soul Fragments, and during the first week, it was something Rose Vesper and her group had even managed to accomplish.

Moreover, if he could control this Soul Fragment, he would have leverage to coerce the other Hero Team members—after all, there were only three bottles of the City Beauty Love potion left...

"Where is it?"

"In the territories of the Demon Princess, Ronald has infiltrated and is searching."

"Very good, Catherine, you’ve done very well. I will reward you later," Qin Chu said with a cold voice, his lips curving upward.

Catherine’s face suddenly lit up with joy, and a nearly destructive smile appeared on her lovely face. Just the words from her master had elicited a strange reaction from her.

Of course, she knew what her master’s reward meant, and she was eagerly anticipating it.

Her speed underfoot increased. She couldn’t wait to finish this mission and enjoy her master’s affection.

"By the way, Catherine, how much do you know about the First Generation Brave?" Qin Chu abruptly asked.

"The First Generation Brave?" While maintaining her high-speed sprint, Catherine thought briefly, ’The First Generation Brave must have been a very charismatic man...’

"After all, no matter where he appeared, he was very popular."

```

"As long as the First Generation Brave appeared, cheers from both women and men could be heard..."

Catherine spoke as if she were recounting something completely irrelevant to her, her tone indifferent. She wasn’t interested in the First Generation Brave. Though they had gone through a lot together, for the current Catherine, those past events were like reading a novel... she retained some memories but felt no real sense of them, nor did they evoke any unnecessary sentiments.

Cheers from both women and men? Did he appeal to both genders?

Why was the First Generation Brave so popular? Could it be that he had a high Charm attribute?

Thinking of his own Charm attribute, which was only slightly above average at six points, he felt inexplicably annoyed. That guy better not be especially good-looking... Either way, if he were more attractive than himself, it would be an unforgivable sin.

"However, despite his popularity, the First Generation Brave wasn’t very interested in the women around him. There was never any gossip about him with any woman..."

"The members of the Hero Team felt the same, everyone liked the First Generation Brave very much..." Catherine fell silent for a moment: "Except me."

You were the same before.

Qin Chu criticized inwardly.

He didn’t know much about the First Generation Brave. The members of the Hero Team hardly ever mentioned him in his presence. There was always something weird about this man.

Just how handsome and charming was he to make so many truly outstanding members of the Hero Team infatuated with him, faithful unto death?

He’s been dead for many years, yet these people murdered others in hopes of resurrecting him?

Could it be that the First Generation Brave had a Power like domination or Mind Control? Other than that, Qin Chu found it hard to imagine what else could achieve such an effect.

But... according to Shaye, domination type Powers and Spiritual magic, although very powerful, aren’t perpetual. They require the Caster to reinforce continuously to maintain control.

Once the Caster died, without reinforcement for a long time, it would only be a matter of time before breaking free from domination.

Moreover, judging by the behavior of Rose Vesper and Catherine, it didn’t seem like they were under mind control or manipulation. Everything they did appeared to be entirely of their own volition.

Shaye was also certain that there were no traces of manipulation or domination on Catherine.

So, what exactly was going on?

"The First Generation Brave had a Super Order Power, right? What was it?"

Catherine’s lips slightly pursed as if in deep thought, her memories of the First Generation Brave were rather vague: "Abnormal Killer?"

"Right, yes, Abnormal Killer. This Super Order Power allowed the First Generation Brave to exert extreme lethality when facing special existences such as ghosts, Magic Beasts, Demons, and the weird."

This was a very powerful ability, especially for the Sky Dome Continent, which suffered from demon invasions. This Power was all the more precious.

However, Qin Chu became even more suspicious, because this Power alone wasn’t enough to make the Hero Team’s members so devoted to him.

Qin Chu inquired about the other Powers of the First Generation Brave, which were mostly akin to mastery of the Fire Element.

Was it possible that this First Generation Brave had hidden his real abilities? Just like how he had used Shaye’s disguise to alter his record before facing Zimmerman and other Great Sages? Did the First Generation Brave possess a similar Power?

Qin Chu grew more interested. Although the man was dead, he felt like this individual could be his greatest enemy aside from the Void Evil God.

Moreover, this man’s mystery sent shivers down his spine.

"Is the First Generation Brave really dead?" A few seconds later, Qin Chu uttered a cold inquiry.

"He should be dead..."

"If the First Generation Brave is dead, then why did none of the members of the Hero Team suffer any casualties? Weren’t you all fighting side by side?"

Catherine pondered for a while: "Actually, it happened very suddenly. The Hero Team was proceeding as usual in their fight against the demons. The battle was quite smooth. Although the humans suffered considerable losses, the demons were also being expelled and exterminated. Just by killing the Dark Witch Shaye and the Eternal Monarch Nage, we could have claimed victory."

"But then, the First Generation Brave suddenly left a letter, stating that Shaye and Nage were extremely powerful and he feared the final battle might cause great harm to mankind, so he decided to go assassinate the Demon King alone."

"By the time the Hero Team found this letter and rushed over in a hurry, they saw the First Generation Brave’s body torn to pieces by Demon King Nage’s claws... blood staining the skies."

Wait a second...

Suddenly, Qin Chu thought of an important question: when the members of the Hero Team arrived, it was exactly the moment the First Generation Brave was killed!

"Didn’t you notice his Soul Fragments at that time, and didn’t you collect them immediately?"

"If the Demon King Nage killed the Brave, why did he let you live?"
