Three days later, the headquarters of Cursed Lambs.
On such a dark and gloomy night, Alexander picked up a black bag containing his share. Yes ... This is the result of the hard work of the collaboration of V and Cursed Lambs. Only, today he could only take it because all needed to be calculated, minus the cost of parties and auctions, slightly reduced the handling fee, then divided by percentage.
Meanwhile, Alexander had also obtained his own goods and money for selling and buying auction items. Unlike the auction profits, this was more personal.
“Is something wrong?” ask Alexander.
The man had just opened the exit, but the sight before him made him suspicious.
In front of the Cursed Lambs headquarters, it looked over ten people but was in two different groups. There is a figure that Alexander is quite familiar with, even imprinted in his memory because only a few days ago they met. They are Sir Gareth and Mr Wilson.
Hearing Alexander's question, Sir Gareth and Mr. Wilson looked at each other. Both of them clearly did not expect that ‘mys’ it would also come to the headquarters of Cursed Lambs to meet V. So they looked at each other with displeased looks. A scene that made Alexander feel even more confused.
“There is something I want to talk to you about V,” Mr. Wilson said straightforwardly.
“I also want to talk to you, Nak.” Sir Gareth nodded with a serious expression as usual.
At that moment, screams sounded from inside the room.
“WAIT!”
Moments later, Mr. Lenka appeared and glared at the two ‘mys’ who came to visit without telling first. Realizing the intentions of the two of them, he immediately bellowed furiously.
“Basic two shameless old stuff, how dare you try digging corners, steal people from me!” his yell.
“I think you're wrong, Len. V is by no means a member of Cursed Lambs, so we can visit him at any time. Moreover, cooperation depends on it, absolutely nothing to do with you.” Mr. Wilson said cynically.
“This time I also agree with Wilson,” added Sir Gareth.
“It ..” Mr. Lenka is at a loss for words.
What Mr. Wilson said was not wrong at all. Alexander was just a self-contained hunter who was not tied to the Cursed Lambs. That means his movements should not be limited by the group at all.Cursed Lambs could have kept Alexander from being in contact with other groups in a threatening way, but there is a big risk that the man will decide the cooperation between them.
Alexander's departure had a positive impact on Cursed Lambs. Not only did they clear their names so as not to befriend the fugitive, but they did not have to pay Alexander. At least, that's what will happen at the beginning.
It's just that, Mr. Lenka clearly remembers Alexander's words. Even without the help of Cursed Lambs, the man could stand on his own and look for another group to be made new comrades. Not to mention, now V has proven himself. Not only was he strong and ruthless, but he was also able to create a brand for himself.
The names of the two wines, Scarlet Dusk and Violet Midnight became very popular. Not only that, V also began to be famous for being able to make beautiful swords with better quality than the Vermillion Shop.
Arguably, many other groups but there is only one V. The man could lose the Cursed Lambs, but the Cursed would be harmed if he lost himself.
Seeing the elaborate exposition on Mr. Lenka's face, Alexander was convinced that his plan had been successful. In just one event, he had cut off his dependence on Cursed Lambs and managed to spread his own name to the powerful free hunters in Shelter 1. For him .. This is not a loss at all.
Hearing Alexander's words, the three middle-aged men looked at each other. After that, they nodded.
About fifteen minutes later, the four people sat in the special living room of the Cursed Lambs. The men brought by Mr Wilson and Sir Gareth waited elsewhere.
“You're really stingy, Len. You obviously have a stock of fragrant wine, but give us a regular wine like this,” said Mr Wilson who poured wine into the glass with a disappointed expression.
“Truly does not match your striking appearance. It turns out you're stingy, Old Man.” Sir Gareth shook his head.
“...”
Mr. Lenka did not say anything, but the corner of his lips twitched. He himself did not have much Scarlet Dusk wine. The man had asked Alexander to sell to him personally, not the kind that would be sold to the market. But Alexander refused his request on the grounds that it was difficult to produce in large quantities.
“Stop circling. Just tell me why you guys came here? Besides, why did you guys know V was coming? Could it be that you asked your subordinates to stalk so as to know when V came?” sidelines Mr. Lenka with a dissatisfied expression.
Mr Wilson and Sir Gareth looked calm on the surface, but they were actually feeling a bit embarrassed. The two did ask one of their subordinates to supervise around the Cursed Lambs headquarters every day. Ask to report directly if the figure of V appears there.
According to them, that person was extremely mysterious and hard to find, so could only have subordinates stand guard until he appeared. Otherwise, they wouldn't know when to see V except at parties and auctions.
Mr. Wilson who often dealt with shady matters regained his composure. He immediately stated the reason why he had come to see Alexander.
“To be honest Len, we both don't want you to spoil the balance. These advantages are too great and the development of Cursed Lambs will be alarming. If you have no intention of retreating and forcing forward alone, we both have absolutely no objection to uniting forces to pressure you,”, Mr. Wilson said.
“You dare!” shouted Mr. Lenka with an angry face.
“Of course we dare,” said Sir Gareth. He sipped some wine and continued. “In the beginning the three of us pressed each other and made a balance. This time, however, you broke through even further. So before you manage to advance and end up suppressing both of us.. There's no harm in Thorns Dragon and Black Punisher uniting forces to fight Cursed Lambs.”
Mr. Lenka's expression looked grim. Although reluctant, he knew what the two of them were saying was indeed appropriate. Arguably, there are unwritten rules so that they can hold each other back and maintain balance. The rule was also done by Blood Cross.
Of the four great families, Chivelm, Ervens, Rubruzen, and Nigruzen have almost the same power. Only the Rosewald Family was the true leader superior to them. Rosewald's family clearly monitored the four families, making sure the subordinates did not have excessive force that threatened power.
If something like that happens ...
The Rosewald family did not mind helping the other three families to suppress the family, even in the worst case annihilating them for not wanting to have subordinates that could not be controlled.
At that moment, Alexander who was looking at the somewhat gloomy situation suddenly clapped his hands to attract attention. When everyone looked at him, the man said.
“How about we make a joint development plan so that it can be mutually beneficial?”
