He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 459. Captain Darkhaven 3

Kailen walked calmly towards the podium. Under the gazes of everyone gathered here, a bracelet hovered before Major Seth.

The bracelet had a symbol that indicated that Kailen was now a captain.

He gestured to Kailen to bring his right hand close.

When Kailen did so, the bracelet moved towards his right hand and encased his wrist.

It was weightless, as if there was nothing on his hand.

Kailen suddenly saw a notification on his ID slot.

It was a message that he was now a captain.

This was an indication that he had been registered in the military database of the Universe Alliance as a captain.

The rank came with an increase in pay grade, clearance to captain-level information.

There were also certain benefits Kailen didn’t really care about.

"You can let the bracelet assume an invisible state, just will it to," Major Seth said.

Kailen nodded to Major Seth’s words, and did so.

The bracelet disappeared from his hands as if it had never been there.

"Can I take it off?" Kailen asked.

This question took Major Seth aback, and even the operatives present for the ceremony.

He wanted to take off the captain bracelet? What the hell was with this guy?

Major Seth nodded plainly. "Sure, Captain. The moment you put on the bracelet, it scanned you and registered you into the Universe Alliance military database as a captain."

Kailen nodded.

Quickly, the bracelet disappeared into his storage ring.

It was not his style walking around with bracelets and whatnot. He wanted to feel simple.

After this, the operatives saluted the new captain, and applause followed.

Kailen saluted back, calmly.

Then, he turned towards Major Seth.

"Sir, if I may, what sort of punishment is given to those who reveal intentions to murder their superiors?"

When Kailen asked this question, his gaze calmly fell on Diamond Harker, sweating buckets in the crowd.

Kailen’s gaze felt like a death sentence.

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

What about an unfortunate bastard!

The moment Major Seth heard this, his eyes widened slightly as he stared in the direction of Diamond Harker and connected the dots.

However, he asked, feigning ignorance, "Can you elaborate, Captain?"

"I believe the footages here will do the talking, Sir."

Kailen didn’t want to rely on even the testimony of the operatives here. He wanted real proof.

The moment he mentioned these words, Major Seth nodded as he watched the footage of the happenings here a few moments before his arrival from the database.

’What an unfortunate fellow,’ he mused inwardly as he stared in Diamond Harker’s direction.

"The person will face death immediately. I’ve seen what needs to be seen, and everyone here was a witness to the events that transpired," Major Seth spoke, voice calm, straightforward, with no intention to favor Kailen here.

The military had laws, and where there was enough proof for the laws to be executed, they had to be executed, and no one was above them.

It was these laws that ensured order in the military.

For instance, had there been enough tangible proof concerning Kailen’s murder of Myestro, he would have been killed for the act, but he was very subtle in his execution.

Strangely, everyone knew that he was behind the occurrence, but there was not enough tangible proof to label him a suspect and make him pay for his actions.

But Diamond was not like Kailen Darkhaven. He acted without thinking steps ahead.

"Sergeant Diamond Harker openly confronted and disrespected Captain Kailen Darkhaven," Major Seth said. "Although his rank had not been officially confirmed at the time of the altercation, the higher-ups had already made the decision concerning him for the conferment of the captain position, and the altercation is reason enough for an appropriate punishment to be meted."

At these words, Kailen nodded. "Thank you, Sir."

His gaze fell on Diamond, whose unit members had deserted him, standing far away from him now.

They didn’t want to be involved.

They had tried warning him earlier, but he had disregarded them before they even had the chance to speak.

"Please, forgive me, Captain. I’m—"

Swwz!

Two potent vines coated with Kailen’s poisons shot towards Diamond’s eyes before he even had the chance to talk further.

Green-colored foam started coming out of his mouth. Blood splurged from his destroyed eyes.

As he fell to the floor with a lifeless expression of agony and shock, the operatives present were completely shocked at the outcome of events.

Diamond Harker, a Sergeant and rank 5 beginner stage galactic-level lifeform, had been killed.

Operatives observed the sudden occurrence in shock.

Kailen Darkhaven was too decisive and ruthless. He didn’t even give the other party a chance to beg for forgiveness.

Major Seth simply nodded. "His former unit members should get rid of the body. Everyone is dismissed. Back to work."

After this, the major nodded to Kailen."Captain"

" Sir"

After this, the major left.

The crowd dispersed, thinking and discussing what had occurred.

Kailen Darkhaven had openly demonstrated that he was not a pushover, right after shockingly becoming a captain straight from being a private, after his extraordinary feats had been made public!

He had killed a sergeant who had expressed killing intent towards him by military law, after which he left the venue with a nonchalant expression on his face.

****

The news of Kailen Darkhaven becoming a captain and his feats at X69, X22-B, and chaotic zone x77 had spread across several bases in HQ after his achievements were made public.

Individuals discussed the hotcake captain in canteens, during missions, and virtual universe hangouts.

Kailen’s companions—Lian Yu, Lawrence, Zarek, and the others—were equally shocked.

When he returned to the base and they asked him where he had been after meeting up with him in the virtual universe, he said that it was classified.

So he had been in chaotic zone x77 all this while, doing ridiculous things.

And to think he was the Silent Butcher too!

This guy always had the knack for shocking others with one nonsensical feat after the other.

As the news of Kailen’s feats travelled across the bases, a particular individual with glowing red eyes and chestnut hair was engaged in an extremely lethal battle at the Frontlines at the moment.
