Apocalypse After

Cupid Tears

Three days later.

In such a hot day, Alexander watched over the workers while complaining in his heart.

‘This outfit is really uncomfortable to use on a very hot day like this. Should I make clothes with the same design but with thinner and comfortable materials?’

In District 3, a suburb not too far from the city walls, several buildings were demolished. Not directly crushed into pieces, but dismantled and then the materials are taken. Materials that are still good are collected, while materials that are worse will try to be recycled. Only then, the remaining materials that were already not worth disposing of.

Not far from Alexander, it appeared that 6 people were standing quietly. They were the confidants of each group leader, as well as those assigned to follow Alexander's instructions.

From Cursed Lambs, there's Alard and Henrik. Each of them is over 40 years old. Alard was a stern looking man, while Henrik was a tall burly man but had a friendly face.

From Black Punisher, there's Caleb and Bolton. Caleb was a man in his late thirties, looking thin and tall. She has long hair tied up and pretty squinty eyes. While Bolton seems to be very fond of imitating the appearance of Mr. Wilson. Not only were they both tall and stocky, but they were also bald and had a fierce expression on their faces.

Merely, the one who made Alexander curious and suspicious was the representative of the Thorns Dragon. They are Norvin and Gellius. From appearance, Gellius was similar to a veteran knight who was already quite old but had an overwhelming aura around him. He may be almost fifty years old. Meanwhile, Norvin was the youngest of them all. It seems that not too long ago it rose to level 3, but it is only 33 years old.

Unlike the representatives of the Cursed Lambs and Black Punisher who fought against Alexander, Norvin and the representatives of the other Thorns Dragons were extremely orderly. They immediately obeyed the instructions and did not try to put up any resistance at all. Even that fellow was quite respectful towards Alexander, which also made the man somewhat suspicious.

“The views are quite extraordinary. Although ordinary people are weak, but they can destroy an area this large and clean it quickly.” Bolton stroked his chin, looking slightly amazed.

Ignoring Bolton who pretended to be smart but looked ridiculous, Caleb approached Alexander and asked, “What should we do now, Commander? Are we asked to come just to watch something like that?”

Hearing Caleb's question, Alexander immediately shook his head.

“Of course I won't let you guys laze around. Like the previous plan, each of you leads ten people and forms a team. Your job is to patrol and catch suspicious people approaching the construction site.

For Norvin and his team to stay here. I need them to do other tasks. By the way, you don't need to call me commander. Just call V as usual.”

Caleb immediately shook his head, clearly disagreeing with Alexander's request. After the fight three days earlier, he felt that the man in front of him was still worthy of respect. So Caleb called him with the appropriate title.

“Then forget.” Alexander smiled wryly. “Starting tomorrow, you will work by shift. The workers will also be divided into shifts, namely day and night. Of 35 people, 20 people will work from 6 am to 6 pm, 15 people from 6 pm to 6 am.”

Alexander calculated it in detail. The task of unloading and moving has been completed in one day, so the next task must be divided. While why not rest at night and rely on one shift, it is because it is less efficient.

The number of people is very large, so there must be some who try to laze around. So Alexander divided it into two shifts so that everyone could work to the maximum. The total day shift is 60 people, and the night shift is 45 people. As for the 20 women, the stay was divided by two, 10 in the day and 10 in the night. Let them cook for the workers.

In addition, Alexander also split the guard team. Henrik, Bolton and Gellius will work during the day. Alard, Caleb, and Norvin will be working at night. The early three were older, so Alexander let them work during the day so that the night could rest. While the final three are younger, should be able to focus more when staying up at night.

After splitting the task, Alexander then asked them to leave. Of course, except Norvin and 10 others.

“For you tens, split up and keep an eye on the people who are working. We don't hire them for free. We give them food, so don't let them laze around. While Norvin ... you live here,” said Alexander.

“Understanding!” answer them in unison.

After the others left, there were only two people still there. At that moment, Alexander finally spoke again.

“What does Sir Gareth want from me?” ask Alexander.

“Sorry?” Norvin looked confused.

“People who can break through level 3 at your age are quite rare. That means you have good skills. Whether it's combat ability and the way you think, it must have made Sir Gareth appreciate you so much. So tell me ..” Alexander turned his head, looking straight into Norvin's eyes. “What's he sending you here for, Norvin?”

Hearing Alexander's analysis, Norvin looked surprised. He did not expect that his disguise would be revealed so easily. The man then smiled kindly.

“It is fitting that the Master (teacher) highly commends you, Mr. V. You are really thorough. It's just, you're a little confused. The master did not send me at all. Instead, I ran because I was really curious about you ...

People who are always praised by Master.”

Norvin's reply left Alexander a little surprised. The man nodded, then again asked, “So, does my appearance disappoint you?”

Norvin shrugged his shoulders while smiling kindly.

“In my opinion, although not your maximum performance ..”

***

In the evening, in front of a famous restaurant in District 3.

“Did dinner last make you satisfied, Miss Melissa? This is one of the best stores in District 3, so it shouldn't disappoint, right?”

The well-dressed Octavius spoke kindly to Melissa who was standing not far away from him. The man looked polite, but occasionally glanced and noticed Melissa's expression.

The woman originally wanted to pretend to be polite, but her expression turned very ugly. His face is a bit red. He then looked at Octavius with a grim expression and said in a hoarse voice.

“What did you do to me, Octavius? You ... You must have put something into my food or drink!” melissa shouted furiously.

Melissa didn't actually want to have dinner with Octavius, but the man was already impatient. To avoid trouble, he was eventually forced to accept the invitation on condition of going to a popular public restaurant. That way, at least some unwanted things will not happen. However, now he knew that the strength of one of the five great families was indeed so strong that it allowed the restaurant to be at his side.

“Hehehe! Isn't that your own fault? I have treated you with courtesy, but you have trampled on my dignity. You ... wild girl actually dared to reject me! Since you don't want me to be gentle, then you better enjoy the rough treatment!”

Octavius sneered. He immediately grabbed Melissa's hand and pulled her. The woman wanted to fight back, but seemed to have no manpower. That time also ...

SWOOSH!

Claude's hurried figure instantly appeared between the two of them. Without a hint of hesitation, he immediately grabbed Octavius' hand, forcing him to let go of Melissa's hand. Then Claude kicked the man hard and viciously, making him bounce several meters away.

“How dare a dirty creature like you touch me!” octavius shouted furiously. “Guard! Foolish people! What are you guys doing?! Kill him for me!”

Just then, several Octavius guards hiding in the shadows came out. They had absolutely no idea that Claude would do such a reckless thing. Aware of being blamed, the men looked at Claude with grim expressions.

Claude looked at the four people who appeared with serious expressions. He could not leave while carrying Melissa as it would definitely be overtaken. So, now the man can only do one thing ...

Letting Melissa run away while she held those people back.

“Nona Melissa, run! I'll arrest them. You better run and hide. Relax, everything will be fine tomorrow!” shouted Claude.

Hearing Claude's cry, Melissa looked doubtful. She was worried that something might happen to the man. But the woman knew that her presence must have been a burden. So, he could only bite his lips then run as hard as he could.

“Catch that j-lang woman!” scream Octavius.

“Where might I let you guys do it!”

Claude immediately shouted, then rushed over to several people. Thanks to his hard training, the man managed to hold all four people at once. Since Octavius did not wear armor or weapons, his strength also decreased. So Claude thought that he could still hold the five of them.

“Basic filthy creature! How dare! How dare you block me! Hahahaha!”

After bellowing furiously, Octavius suddenly laughed. His somewhat insane manner made Claude's expression gloomy.

“What are you laughing at? Have you gone crazy?” said it.

“Hahaha! You idiot! You are really stupid! Even if the j-lang ran, I would still win. Tonight the j-lang will be over! Ahahaha!

Do you know why what the woman was drinking so her body was weak and started to get out of control? Hahahaha!”

Octavius grinned with a crazy expression on his face.

“The woman has drunk Cupid Tears!”

Hearing Octavius' words, Claude's expression immediately turned very dark. Not only did it seem angry, but the man also began to feel deep hatred, even ...

Intention to kill.
