Apocalypse After

Interrogations

The next afternoon.

In the reception room of the Ervens Family shop, there were several uninvited guests. In the room, there were eight people. Three of them are Faust, Damian, and Praz. While the five people who were considered as uninvited guests were Melissa, Octavius, Claude who played the guard of Melissa, the middle-aged man who became the guard of Octavius, who was the guardian of Octavius, and a middle-aged man with the Blood Cross knight armor.

The last man was one of the people from the Chivelm Family, the law enforcer who led many knights to settle matters in Shelter 1. Not a peak existence, but he was one of the most respected people in the army.

Juan Chivelm's.

His name sounded foreign to the ears of an outsider. However, to the occupants of Shelter 1, he was a figure that many people respected and feared.

“I hope you are not trying to protect this young man, Damian.” Juan said with a flat expression.

“Is there anything I can help you with, Mister?” faust asked with a friendly smile on his face.

Juan did not change his expression. Meanwhile, the other four guests looked towards Faust with different expressions. Octavius looked hopeful, his guards looked calm, while Melissa and Claude looked at Faust with cold, even hateful expressions.

“We (the guardians) get an important report from Octavius. According to information obtained from a woman named Melissa.

As the person who had met V at Shelter 11 and conducted some investigations, he had discovered some special features of the man. A good killer as well as an expert in disguise.

From the few clues found, we all suspect you, Faust Vermillion as the person with the same identity, which is V!”

After saying that, Juan stood up and pulled out his sword. He pointed right in front of Faust's face.

“This place is surrounded. Free to try to escape.”

“EH?”

Faust looked surprised. His expression instantly turned pale. He looked at Juan with a somewhat frightened expression as he raised both of his hands.

“Is something wrong here? I think everything can be discussed, right?”

Swooshes!

The sword scratched Faust's cheek, making the unprepared man startled. He immediately wiped the blood on his cheek with a terrified expression.

At that moment, Juan grabbed his neck. He immediately lifted and slammed Faust's body into the bookshelf.

Bruaks!

Faust who fell to the ground immediately coughed loudly. Sweat drenched his face and back. The bloodstains on his cheeks kept flowing. Even the man hissed in pain. It appeared to be injured quite badly from the previous impact.

“Uhuk! Uhuk!”

“...”

Looking at Faust who seemed to be dying, Juan immediately frowned. He then glanced towards Octavius and Melissa with displeased expressions. The man then said in the same flat tone as before.

“Reflex is very bad, his body resistance is bad, even quite cowardly.”

Juan then approached Faust. He pulled the man's hair and pinched his face with his other hand.

“This hair is natural, and she is not wearing a mask at all.”

After saying that, Juan released Faust and walked towards Octavius and Melissa.

“Your guess is clearly wrong. I've acted in accordance with your wishes, and brought a lot of troops. So this is what you guys want to show me?” juan asked with a cold expression.

“Cannot be!” reply Octavius. “If not V, why did that man named Faust bother coming to this place?!”

“Uhuk! Uhuk!” Faust who was sitting on the floor while leaning on the shelf immediately shouted in a hoarse voice. “Of course I came to buy materials. I bought the ingredients from Master Damian! Is there something wrong with that?!”

“If you don't know each other, why are you helping each other?! That obviously doesn't make sense!” octavius shouted furiously.

“Uhuk!” Damian pretended to cough. “It looks like there is a misunderstanding here.”

Hearing Damian's words, many people turned their eyes to the man.

“Say, how did you meet the two of them? Faust and V it,” Juan said.

“Actually this is no secret. Faust and his entourage were the ones who moved to Shelter 1 not too long ago. They used to be traders. It doesn't need to be mentioned anymore, does it?

As for how I found Faust, it has something to do with the V you're looking for. Of course, at first I didn't know that person was a very cruel killer.

As you know, I'm a little pressured by family. I have to do sales tasks within a certain quota so as not to get in trouble. So V said he could introduce a buyer. Not just a buyer, but a genius man with the skill of making potions. And that person was the new visitor, Faust Vermillion.

After meeting Faust, I finally believed that the man had not deceived me. In fact, to be honest, I helped Faust a lot even to find a store because I wanted to be friends with him. He helped me make a potion that the family needed in a certain amount for free. You could say, it's a win-win situation.

That's also the reason why our relationship is getting better every day.”

Hearing Damian's explanation, everyone fell silent. Octavius even looked at Damian with envy. If he were to find Faust first, he would definitely gain a great deal of benefits. Yet everything actually fell to the vain man of the Ervens Family.

“How about you? How do you get to know V?” juan asked as he glanced at Faust.

“I don't even know that person!” faust shouted dissatisfied.

“Then why did that person help you? Don't you dare lie if you don't want your life lost here, son!” juan said coldly.

Faust looked a little frightened. The man lowered his head while muttering, “Perhaps because he wanted to thank me? I don't know him, but I seem to have helped him accidentally.”

“Help him? You?” juan asked with a suspicious expression.

“I know I'm weak, sir. But at least I have a little ability, ok?” faust said with complaints. “I can make potions with both hands and with both hands here I can survive until now.”

“Slightly reasonable.” Juan stroked his beard. “So you sold the potion to that guy named V?”

“No. Actually I met him once.”

Faust took a deep breath before continuing.

“I met that person while fleeing from the waves of beasts. Unlike the cold and horrible figure you mentioned, I only saw him as a dying hunter. A man who was starving, cold, and had terrible wounds all over his body.

Honestly speaking, he exuded a kind of dangerous aura. But when I saw those red eyes, I felt that we were both a little bit alike. You could say, the sympathy of fellow people who have abandoned the world.

I gave him a piece of bread, water, and two potions. Whether it survives or not, I don't know. I'm not a saint, so at least I can help a little. But he said nothing. Uh! The man asked me my name when I was leaving.

Looks like the guy survived. My help was not in vain.”

“YOU HELPED A VILE KILLER!”

Just then, a scream was heard. Everyone immediately looked towards Melissa who looked extremely angry. It seems to have such deep hatred for the person named V.

“I don't know you, Miss. But I thought it was not in vain. Vile murderer? So what's? He helped me deal with the problem.

I am just a small trader. I came to this town to open a shop, and ended up receiving threats from the dark group. So in my eyes, V is a great helper.

Everyone here is smart, so don't pretend to be hypocritical. The dark group in Shelter 1 still existed as it was not completely annihilated. The reason for not being annihilated was obviously because some of them had the support behind them, that is the big family here.

Are you a supporter of Mad Ox? Angry that your men were killed? Then try to control them and don't let them touch anything carelessly.

Honestly, the reason why I want to help Mr. Damian is because I need a backrest. He made a lot of profit by using me, and me and my people got shelter. That simple.

V is indeed a vile killer, and I'm a bit scared. However, in my eyes, that person was better than the people above who were silent when they saw his people being oppressed. At least, V... that person still understands return!”

Listening to Faust's words, everyone immediately kept silent. The oldest Juan in the place let out a long sigh. Because he came from a big family, even if he had a good heart, but that person still saw the bad things that the families in Shelter 1 did. Not to mention, he couldn't do anything.

“Catch,” says Juan.

Faust caught a bottle of potion with a puzzled expression on his face. At that moment, Juan spoke again.

“Even if this has something to do with the two of them, but they are not responsible because V moves with his own decision. Put up the wanted poster, and put a price on his head, that's all it can do now. We're leaving here.”

Thus, despite seeming reluctance, those people also left from there.

After everyone had left, Damian who had just escorted the guests out returned to the room.

Arriving there, he saw his partner, Faust Vermillion sitting on the sofa. The wounds on his body had completely healed.

Even that fellow was wiggling the potion bottle in his hand while putting a reckless smile on his face.

Seeing that, Damian could not help but complain directly.

“I've never seen anyone as a b-ass you, my friend.”
