Apocalypse Regression's

Accepting New Members?

At the Silver Cross group.

"You look pathetic, Julian."

Coming together with Stacy, Ark saw the figure of Julian sitting dreamily with a blank expression on his face. Not looking like a wounded man, but looking desperate.

"Just laugh, Hades. Everything went according to your plan, didn't it?"

Julian said in a flat voice. Sounds tired, no longer has the spirit as before.

"No."

Ark shook his head. Gazing towards Julian, he sighed.

"I have absolutely no intention of taking people away from you. Although I'm a little interested in Jimmy, but I didn't force him to come with me.

So I didn't expect him to bring ten of his friends to join my group."

"..."

"Honestly, I hesitated to accept them. They are actually adults, but behave like teenagers in puberty. Yeah, that's how humans are.

Choosing to blame others for abstaining from wrongdoing. In this case, they assume it's all your fault because you're the chairman and the most responsible. In fact, on the other hand, they themselves are also wrong because they are less careful. Even the four people died because of their own fault. Acting recklessly and not being able to take care of his own life.

So you don't have to feel guilty. Stop blaming yourself for everything that's happened."

After saying that, Ark walked up to Julian who was sitting with a listless face. He then grabbed the collar of the man's shirt and pulled it.

BRUISES!

Without changing his expression, Ark directly punched the man in the face.

"I thought you were like my friend (Jay) who was so troublesome. But who would have thought, you are even more troublesome than that man."

After saying that, Ark continued to punch the man in the face. Once, twice, three times.

Surprisingly, Julian had not fended off at all let alone retaliated. The man looked resigned. It didn't matter whether he was killed or not.

Seeing that, Ark instantly released Julian. It made the man fall to the ground with a face full of blood.

"I have some good words, but all must be in vain. No more breathing because you won't listen to it."

Ark pulled the sword out of its sheath. He pointed towards Julian with a sword, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Please stop it, Mr. Hades!"

Ark. He saw Berto.

The man seems to be unable to take it anymore. He immediately stepped forward to wound the two of them.

At first, Berto thought that was how the two of them usually interacted. But looking at Ark who drew his sword, he had already changed his mind. The man was afraid that the chairman would be killed by Ark.

"Stop where you are if you don't want to get hurt, Berto."

"My brother and I have been saved by the Chief. The Silver Cross group was willing to accommodate us, it was something we were grateful for. Therefore ...

I won't back down, even if injured or dead!"

Berto walked forward firmly. But instead of attacking, Ark who saw it looked up.

The man referred to as Hades took a deep breath and then shouted in an annoyed tone.

"PEOPLE WHO HAVE BRAINS BUT ARE NOT USED ARE REALLY ANNOYING!"

Satisfied yelling, Ark sheathed back his sword. He then looked towards Berto and the several Silver Cross members who wanted to fight against him. Once again the young man sighed.

"Are you guys really stupid?

If it was me, hearing your words would have made the ears comfortable. I can sacrifice you at will. But do you not know your own chief? I mean ...

This man was too stupid, completely uninterested in his own life!

So instead of you sacrificing your lives so that he can continue to live and escape, become stronger. Be stronger so that it can help him escape and continue to accompany him."

Ark shook his head.

"Since the first time I saw the Silver Cross group, how many have met me for the second time? Other than Julian, there was hardly anyone else.

Forget about people running away because they did place the Silver Cross in their hearts. But as far as I know, many of the core members of the Silver Cross died. Most died protecting Julian in order to escape and survive.

Look carefully at his face. Does he seem like a man who wants to be immortal and live forever?

In my eyes ..he looks more like a man who wants to kill himself but has a compelling reason to keep going.

Other than that ..."

Ark turned to Julian with a look of annoyance.

"If you don't want to be left alone, then say it!

If you can't bear it alone, don't get strong and die. Just say it if you need them.

Stop acting like a shy little girl to express her feelings! That's disgusting!"

Hearing Ark's grumble, not only Berto and the other Silver Cross members, but Julian who was lying on the ground was also dumbfounded.

Ark turned to leave, but Stacy stopped him and said softly.

"Don't forget your purpose here, Chief."

Stacy's words made Ark sober. He then stroked the girl's head with a satisfied expression. After stopping, he looked back.

"I'm here to tell you that I'm going to accept Jimmy and his associates because my group is also in need of people for development.

I thank you and apologize for that.

Also, it may be unethical, but try to come up alone on the next trade. You need power, right? In return, I will give you what you need .. that is strength."

After saying that, Ark turned around. He did not wait for their reply. After all, the young man felt tired if he had to talk to people like them.

Walking while looking at the sky, Ark thought.

'Did I change? Since when?'

Not knowing what made him once again able to interact with people, Ark shook his head. He doesn't want to think about the reason. Clearly, the young man was quite happy because he felt more "live" than before.

When they had gone far enough, Stacy asked.

"Is everything okay, sir? I mean ... You're really going to sell "that" to Julian?

Doesn't that make it grow? Make him a threat to us going forward?"

Hearing the question, Ark replied in a relaxed tone.

"It is precisely with "it", everything can go smoothly. Anyway ..."

Ark smiled behind his mask.

"Julian is still needed so that everything can keep going."

***

Arriving at the location of the Dark Caravan train, Ark and Stacy were a little surprised when they saw Lisa talking happily to the figure of a beautiful woman.

Ark looked towards the eleven people who were still doing handstand with bodies full of sweat, even grinding their teeth and shaking but still holding back. The young man then nodded in satisfaction. At least they were disciplined enough, even receiving punishment without protesting at all.

"You can rest."

Ark's words surprised many. But after being shocked, the eleven men threw themselves down. Directly fell to the ground with both hands trembling.

Lisa who saw Ark coming immediately got up and ran towards the young man happily.

"You're finally back, Chief Smell! Ouch!"

Lisa immediately retreated reflexively, completely forgetting that she was wearing a mask so Ark's flick didn't hurt her at all.

"What's wrong? Are customers?"

Ark tilted his head. Ask in a flat tone. He really is back to being his usual self.

Roxanne and the eight women who followed her walked towards Ark. They suddenly knelt in unison.

"Please allow us to join the Dark Caravan, Lord Hades!" roxanne was firm.

Ark was a little surprised. He approached Roxanne and stood in front of the kneeling woman. His hands stretched out, stroking his cheeks gently before holding his chin. Makes the beautiful woman look up.

Just then, Roxanne who was slightly embarrassed suddenly goosebumps. He felt a ferocious look from three directions. It felt like the figure staring at him was more dangerous than some of the ferocious mutant beasts that the woman had encountered before. It really made her feel scared and want to cry.

Ignoring the shivering Roxanne and wanting to cry, Ark continued to stare at the woman's face. After a while, he suddenly muttered.

"I don't think I remember wrong."
