Ignoring the many people looking at him suspiciously, Ark no longer held Roxanne's chin. He even gently stroked the beautiful woman's head while saying.
"From now on everything will be fine."
Ark's speech was like a huge hammer hitting a dam full of cracks.
Roxanne's a little down. Two rows of tears continued to flow in silence. The woman who tried to look strong and strong was no longer holding back.
Just then, Lisa's figure appeared beside them. He instantly removed Ark's hand from Roxanne's head then stood in front of the woman while saying.
"Just calm! I, The Legendary Shadow Tamer will protect you from the hands of this Demon King!
Evil Devil, get away! Stop bullying this good woman! If not ... I ..."
Lisa looked up only to see a pair of cold eyes behind the mask. Looking at him without saying anything, but it had already frightened him.
"I mean ... Chief Bau, you better ..."
Still feeling that gaze, Lisa's speech came to a halt. He stomped his feet with a annoyed expression.
"Come on! This time only! I really want to have friends!"
Hearing Lisa's complaint, Ark tilted his head.
"Didn't you have a lot of friends?"
"It's different from a co-worker or an exercise partner!"
"Aren't there Nathan and Nala?"
"Wait first. Don't tell me... You think I'm friends with those two kids?"
"Is that wrong? You guys play mud and play chases together, don't you?"
"It's not like I'm friends with them! I mean, it's like an older sister teaching their sister, okay?"
"Nala must be sad when she hears it."
"SHUT UP AND DON'T TELL HIM!"
An annoyed Lisa jumped straight at Ark. Directly wrapped both hands and feet into the young man's body. It looks like a koala hugging a tree trunk.
Ark did not avoid it at all. He just kept quiet like a hermit. His emotions did not fluctuate when hugged the girl. Ark glanced at Lisa who kept complaining.
"Come ... Let them join ... At least that woman! She's a good woman!"
"Work friends, practice buddies, playmates, and whatever it's called.
Why do you have to group them? Friends are friends. That'sthat's all.
Also, despite looking good, this woman and the eight women behind her were murderers. They're not innocent girls like the ones in your head."
"He-he-he ... You're getting bad at lying, Chief Smell! Where could they—"
"What Mr. Hades said is true, Miss Legendary Shadow Tamer. We used to be hired killers."
Wiping away her tears, Roxanne replied politely.
Hearing that, Lisa who was hanging like a koala jumped down. He looked at the sky with a blank expression. Completely lost his words.
'Am I dreaming? Does the world make jokes? Isn't that kind of profession rare, it even sounds like a prank?
Since when did so many assassins appear here and there?'
Lisa turned her head towards Ark, the word "killer" appeared in her mind. Looking towards Stacy, the phrase "mad woman who may be worse than a murderer" appeared. Looking towards Kurona and Shirona, the phrase "the twin killer who likes to be the Ark's tail" appeared in his mind. Looking towards Darin, Lisa fell silent for a moment. After a while, a sentence appeared in his mind.
'He ... keroco? Nah! Errr ... the killer's men?'
Darin who was sitting leisurely turned his head towards Lisa. Despite not knowing what the girl was thinking, from her gaze, the girl was clearly thinking of something bad about her!
Ignoring Lisa who was immersed in her fantasy, Ark looked at Roxanne.
Looking at the confused Roxanne, Ark explained.
The words of the old man who likes to sow are quite famous, especially among the killers in this city.
That man was Roxanne's father. He likes to help people (other killers) in dealing with problems. The old man also liked to adopt a child and raise her as the sole guardian of the princess.
You could say, what the man did was sow many seeds of kindness. When it grows and bears fruit, it is his daughter who will reap the rewards. Because somehow, it seems that he had predicted his own death.
It's just, things didn't go according to plan.
It was only a few years after the man died that the world became chaotic. Except for a few dead people for Roxanne, her relationship with the others is cut off.
Not to mention, in his previous life, Roxanne ended tragically.
After a setback due to a failure in the city park subjugation mission, their group is attacked and annihilated. More precisely, the men were destroyed. As for the women, they are alive but worse than dead.
Ark even recalled clearly Roxanne's appearance was completely different than it currently was. After all, he himself killed the woman at his will.
It should happen in the next few years. But as the mission accelerated and everything fell apart, the group nearly collapsed early.
Of course, the difference was, now they came to him before the group completely collapsed.
Ark himself did not feel responsible. In a chaotic world like this, misfortune could befall anyone. So he felt that kind of thing was normal.
The reason Ark wanted to accept them was twofold. First, they are quite professional. After training a little, they were already reliable. Second, Ark hated to admit it, but he had a debt of gratitude to Roxanne's father.
The Old Man who loves to sow.
"A-You know Papa, Mr Hades?"
"Slightly," said Ark flatly.
"..."
Looking at the silent Roxanne and looking disappointed, Ark shook his head. He suddenly said.
"Roxanne, you and your comrades want to join the Dark Caravan?
Jimmy, you and your colleagues want to join us too, don't you?"
Hearing the question, they all answered in unison.
"YES!!!"
Hearing that, Ark nodded.
"You guys passed the initial stage, so it's not impossible to join us thoroughly. However, I want to warn you.
I will give you shelter, food, weapons, and also teach you to survive. But all of this is not free. There's a price you need to pay.
Absolute loyalty!
When I say go forward, you must go forward. When I say back off, you must back off. You can also try to betray, but you have to remember.
The traitors ...
I'll chase them even to the end of the world."
Just then, a strong pressure and killing intent emanated from Ark's body. It made people shiver, trembling with fear.
Ark's voice sounded again.
"Then I will make sure to take what I have given including interest rates ...
His life!"
After a while, Ark calmed down again. Looks relaxed and a bit lazy.
"This group is not a charity, nursing home, or kindergarten. All members have their own duties. Of course, I can guarantee that our group's life is worth more than the lives of the travelers.
Everyone has a price. So think about it. Take a chance or let go?"
