Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

The boss tried to speak so Ning loosened his control over the air.

"It… It was…"

Ning listened to the name of the person who gave him the order and was surprised. Ning confirmed it once more and the boss gave the same name.

"I had expected it to be the duke since your men were staying there. But… to think it was him," Ning was truly surprised.

"Please let us go. I answered your question," the boss cried out.

"That doesn't mean you didn't try to kill me," Ning said. In a flick of a finger, he gathered all of the men and grabbed them.

In the next moment, they were gone.

Ning appeared outside of the city walls, dragging the men with his Aether arts. When the guards saw him, they immediately drew their weapons in response.

"Wait right there," they shouted.

"Go call someone with higher authority. You have some terrorists here," Ning said.

The guards looked at each other and then at the numerous men that were somehow being dragged by a single person.

A police officer walked out, who instantly recognized Ning as someone from the palace.

"Brother, who are these people?" the man asked.

"Inspector Reen, these are the members of the Great Raiders group. I know you have a lot of problems with them, so I brought them here," Ning said.

The inspector was shocked when he heard that. "These are the people from the zoo incident?" he asked.

"Yes, can you please capture them?" Ning asked.

"Yes," the police officer said and got his men to capture them one by one. Most of them were already unconscious for some reason and the rest that was on the verge of being unconscious were given some drugs before being taken away.

"Should I call the palace to let them know about this?" the inspector asked.

"Sure," Ning said. "Actually, don't call them for another hour. There is something important in the palace happening soon."

Ning walked into the city under the watch of the various guards. Once a little further away, he disappeared.

He appeared back in his room in the palace. He walked out of the room and went toward's the prince's quarters.

Ning reached the room with 2 guards waiting outside and asked, "is the prince inside?"

The guards nodded, thinking nothing else of the situation.

"I see. Thanks," Ning said and pushed the door. However, it was locked.

"Hey, what are you—"

Ning burst open the door and walked in. The prince had been sleeping inside and was immediately woken up.

He sat up in his bed looking at Ning who walked in.

"Hey, stop right there," the guards immediately pointed their guns at Ning, but with the flick of a finger, Ning got rid of their guns and sent them flying back against the wall.

"Wh-why are you attacking me?" the prince asked in fear.

"You know why," Ning said and grabbed the prince by the hair. "You tried to kill me. Did you really think it would go as you wanted?"

Ning dragged the prince down from the bed, his black hair firmly grasped in his hands.

"And here I even thought I was saving you from the terrorists. That was your plan too, wasn't it?" Ning asked.

The first prince of the empire, Prince Felix screamed in agony as he felt his hair being ripped from the scalp.

The servants watched in horror as the prince tried to fight back against Ning's pulling.

People started gathering around Ning, trying to stop him, but Ning wouldn't budge.

Old man Tim arrived at the scene, watching furiously at Ning. "What are you doing, Mr. Ning. Let the prince go," he shouted.

"Move away, I'm taking him to the emperor. This little prince of yours has been acting terribly, and needs a little dose of punishment," Ning said.

Tim looked around in shock watching the guards do nothing. They had already tried everything from shooting to using Aether, but Ning was too strong for them.

"Miss Fiona, do something," he shouted.

Fiona looked away from the old man. "I'm sorry, senior Tim. He's too strong for any of us. For now, it looks like he doesn't plan to hurt the prince even more, so we should be relieved about that."

Lisa appeared on the scene, as well as every other member of the royal family.

Ning recognized most of them.

"Let go of my son!" a woman appeared out of nowhere. Ning hadn't interacted with her yet but had seen her from afar.

She was the Empress of the nation, first wife of the emperor.

'What was her name again? Felicia something?' Ning thought. He didn't care much about her at the moment, but since he was dragging her son, it was obvious she was angry at him at the moment.

"You people! Do something. He's hurting your prince and you are just watching," she shouted.

People tried to persuade Ning to let the prince go once again, and even attacked him, but not a single of their attacks phased him.

The Empress moved to block Ning's way and stood there. "Let go of my son. You will be hanged for this," she shouted.

Ning looked at her and asked, "Woman, MOVE!"

His loud voice brought terror in the mother's heart, but she stood firm.

"Sigh, if you don't move, I will kill your son," Ning had to resort to threatening her. He didn't want to harm a mother who was just trying to protect her son, so he decided to use a different approach instead.

And this approach worked. The Empress got scared and started shivering when she thought of her son dying.

"Your highness, you should move," Fiona walked up to her and slowly dragged her away.

Ning kept on walking after that.

"I know you have arrived, but don't do anything silly. I don't plan on harming the prince more than I already have," Ning said and carried on.

Finally, reached a giant door that lead to the Palace hall where the Emperor would spend most of his days.

He pushed open the door and walked in.
