Apocalypse After

NOISY

Without notice, a week had passed since the meeting of the four leaders.

At first, the meeting was only considered a meeting of three chairmen. However, Alexander's abilities have won the recognition of all three chairmen.

In addition, the people who became guards also had great respect for Alexander. Not just because it gives them good care like a steady job, neat clothes, and identity. But because the man also taught them quite a lot. For example, make a daily exercise task, one hour after work, before going home to rest.

Although an extra hour of training does not seem like much, it stabilizes their initially quite shaky foundation. With a level that was already good enough plus more profound mastery, their strength increased. At least be able to beat peers at the same level.

Arguably, those people were increasingly similar to actual knights.

Many people appreciated Alexander, the subordinates also respected him. However, among the entire guard force, the people from the Thorns Dragon were the ones who respected him the most. Even being somewhat fanatical, made him feel somewhat uncomfortable once in a while.

Only, within this one week, some bad things happened and made the Grey Triangle Alliance feel uneasy.

Exactly two days after the meeting of the four leaders, the family members who were under the banner of Blood Cross began to provoke the free hunters. Originally those people wanted to retaliate, and waited for a response from the Grey Triangle Alliance. However, the alliance chose to be silent. It even attracted their subordinates so as not to take any conspicuous actions.

It's just that people from different families think that free hunters are cowards, so they cause more trouble.

Seeing such a situation, many people who had previously attended the party began to look for Mr. Lenka, Mr. Wilson, and Sir Gareth to help them uphold justice. But the response the three of them gave really made many of the free hunter groups feel disappointed that the alliance really did not want to make trouble with those nobles.

On the third floor of the Grey Triangle Pavilion, two people stood in the open while looking at the scene of Shelter 1.

“Are you still sure to be in a neutral position after all this, Son?”

Hearing the question, Alexander turned his head towards Sir Gareth who was standing beside him. At first he did not know why the old man was looking for him. The man thought that Sir Gareth would blame him, or even condemn him for making such a decision. Yet different from his shadow, the man actually chose to believe his decision. Just wondering if he had been confident in his decision.

Alexander wanted to say something, but it didn't. His hands clenched tightly, then slowly the fist loosened. Only then did the man speak calmly.

“I am not a savior who can help everyone, Sir Gareth. Being able to help the Grey Triangle Alliance and the people within it has become my limit. I can't help everyone free. Moreover, I am not a good person.

You know, I'm a ruthless killer. Even if you manage to browse the news. I'm still a ruthless man who became a fugitive for killing a lot of people in Shelter 11. I ...

Not a hero in a fairy tale who can save and make everyone live happily.”

Hearing Alexander's words, Sir Gareth smiled as he shook his head. After a while, the old man said, “At least don't show a trace of regret in your eyes if you are indeed that bad.”

“...”

Alexander surprised. He turned his head towards Sir Gareth, and the old man looked at him with a gentle smile. Looks like an elder looking at his junior.

“Maybe you have found a lot of information about the three of us. It's just, there might be some small details, our past that you don't find.

For example, Len used to be a poor boy and belonged to the category of refugees who could be sacrificed at any time. By the way, he's a lot younger than me or Wilson.

To Wilson, you must know that he was a black merchant whose existence threatened the noble families. Actually, he used to be the nicest person compared to me being a hypocrite or Len being double-eyed. Only, his wife and daughter were killed by a noble family. That's why he hates them so much.

I was just an old man who failed. I used to be a knight of the Chivelm Family, an ordinary person invited by serving that family. I like the daughter of that family, and it seems that she likes me too. It's just, I'm self-conscious.

Even so, there is something I regret. If only I had run away with him, I would not have been like this. If only I had realized going it alone was selfishness that hurt her, made her accept fate as the daughter-in-law of a large family and eventually commit suicide.

Hearing the story of Sir Gareth telling the past of the three chiefs, Alexander was shocked. He had no idea they had such a story. Only, Alexander was also confused because ...

“Does it have anything to do with me?” ask Alexander.

“No.” Sir Gareth shook his head. “Consider only old men who are telling stories.”

“...” Alexander was confused as to what to say.

“Hey, V? Do you think Len, Wilson, and I are highly respected free hunters?” ask Sir Gareth.

“Isn't that so?” alexander.

“Indeed.” Sir Gareth chuckled. “But they all don't know what we're going through so we can get here. Just like you. A bitter past can make people stronger and fight harder. However, the past is the past.”

“You mean?” Alexander looked confused.

“Rather than being confused when thinking about the past that makes you doubt your own identity, you better think about the present and the future. Not what you have done and regret ..”

Sir Gareth looked right into Alexander's eyes. However, to the man, it seemed that the old man had directly looked into his soul.

“But what you want and try to do now to build the future you want.”

***

Alexander sat in his room on the third floor of the Grey Triangle Pavilion. He kept remembering what Sir Gareth said before. Looking at the sky full of stars, he let out a long sigh.

“Basic old men like to interfere. Didn't your words make me worry more?” muttered.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

At that moment, the door of his room was knocked. Hearing the knock of the door, Alexander frowned. After all, other than the chairmen, no one was allowed to board unless there was a danger situation. The man then put on a mask and opened the door. When he saw Cale who seemed to be in a hurry, he became somewhat confused.

“Is something wrong, Cale?” ask Alexander.

“Crimson Hornet has been attacked, Commander! Many knights are coming, what should we do now?” ask Cale worriedly.

The Crimson Hornet is led by a man named Percy, who buys Alexander's weapons. He's a smart guy. When there was a problem, that person immediately led his army to withdraw. Even when he saw Alexander building the Grey Triangle Pavilion, he built a headquarters not far from the location.

Arguably ... The attack took place near the Grey Triangle Pavilion!

Alexander's originally seemingly indifferent expression gradually became gloomy. He immediately said, “Send some of your subordinates to call two other security teams. While you immediately ask Bolton to look after the Pavilion with half the people on this shift. The rest include you, follow me!”

Moments later, they all reached the scene.

There, there were a lot of people crowding. In addition, there were also many knights surrounding the Crimson Hornet headquarters.

Seeing Alexander coming with the guards, one of the knights said, “Please excuse me, this place is closed because there is an emergency mission.”

“ENYAH!” alexander said coldly.

Looking at Alexander's eyes, the knight unconsciously retreated. Several other knights also retreated, and began paving the way for Alexander as well as the people who followed him.

Arriving in the middle, Alexander immediately saw a disgusting sight. There were some nobles pointing and cursing at the crowd. The men had free hunter clothes, looked injured but still stood around Percy, the leader of their group.

Percy knelt down while hugging a little girl. His body seemed to be covered with wounds as it protected the girl.

Alexander immediately walked over, ignoring the people who were staring at him with shocked expressions. Arriving near the Crimson Hornet group, he looked towards Percy who was half awake, but almost lost his consciousness.

“It's okay. Rest ... leave the rest to me.”

Hearing Alexander's words, Percy closed his eyes and his body collapsed while hugging the little girl.

Alexander glanced at the guards then said, “Send them to the pavilion and take care of them.”

“Good, Commander!” shouted the guards in unison.

At that moment, one of the nobles advanced then shouted furiously.

“WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING? HOW DARE YOU INTERFERE WITH OUR BUSINESS!”

Instead of getting angry when he heard that, Alexander got up and turned his head towards the people in charge.

“Oh? Then what did the Crimson Hornet do that you guys caught it?”

“THEY COMMITTED A LAW VIOLATION!” yelled the man.

“What law? Are they stealing? Did they kill? Or do what?”

“THEY-“

“Splitting a noble's face like you? That's against the law? You want Percy's gun and trying to rob him isn't against the law? You tried to catch his wife also did not violate?”

Alexander interrupted the man's words while walking towards him with his head bowed. The closer he got, the stronger the pressure people felt.

“A-What are you trying to do? I ... I am the successor of the Crotus Family! If you do something, Blood Cross won't let you go! You-“

A BANG!

Alexander instantly swung his fist that was coated in extremely powerful telekinesis energy. When it hit the opponent's body, that person was actually instantly blown up. Flesh and blood instantly splashed out in all directions, leaving everyone speechless and feeling terrified.

At that moment, Alexander raised his face. Red eyes with vertical pupils stared at everyone coldly. Just then, a single word emerged from his mouth.

“WHISPER.”
