Some time just passed.
Unknowingly, the meeting time between the Dark Caravan, Silver Cross, and Black Panther had finally arrived. Unlike before, the shophouses (shop houses) commonly used by the Dark Caravan to exchange supplies were currently guarded even more tightly.
On the second floor, there were three people sitting around the table and three people standing. They are the chairman or representative along with their confidants. From the Dark Caravan, there's Ark and Lisa. From the Silver Cross, there's Julian and Berto. From Black Panther, Joseph and Siegfried.
On the table, there were three cups of tea still steaming. Yep. The tea that the Sword of Sufferings had made from the tree had obtained some time ago. Although there is no sweetener, but it is enough 'fast' compared to giving a cup of water when having an important meeting.
"What do you really want to say to invite us, Mr Hades?"
Joseph spoke up. The middle-aged man looked towards Ark with a serious expression. He simply could not believe that the young man in front of him said that this was just an ordinary meeting. Obviously, Hades was planning something big enough that it was necessary to invite two groups that he trusted enough.
"There's absolutely nothing special. Just discussing a few small things." Ark shrugged his shoulders. "By the way, have you gathered your people and supporters, Mr Joseph? Or are you still letting those old people who rely on their rank behave as they please?"
Ark's question made Joseph's expression heavy. He guessed that the young man in front of him already knew the information, but still replied calmly.
"Now Black Panther has cracked into three sides."
"Mr-"
"It's okay, Siegfried. Sooner or later the outsiders will find out. Even I was a little suspicious that Mr. Hades and the Dark Caravan had learned of this information.
Black Panther is divided into three sides: the neutral side of the chairman, the side of me that favors the mixing of new blood, and the side of the former officials who are tied to their old positions. Although we have a goal to open up and make new rules, our goal is off in a different direction.
As you know, the current chairman is an old former general. He wanted to open a new leaf by removing the Imperial Tiger. Although he was neutral, but actually still leaned to my side. Absolutely do not want people without those abilities to stand on top and make the rules worse than ever before.
However, he could not defend me in an open manner as there were some old men who were difficult to deal with on the other side. He did not want the Black Panther to collapse before the Imperial Tiger was destroyed."
Julian and Berto looked surprised. They had not expected that there was such an internal conflict in such a large group like Black Panther. Ark himself was still calm, not changing his expression at all. As for Lisa, she instead stood in a daze, not knowing what the girl was thinking.
"It appears you're in trouble, Mr. Joseph. Yeah .. I think Julian's in trouble, too."
Ark's words made the representatives of the Silver Cross and Black Panther change their expressions.
"By the way, did you guys manage to conquer the beast? Looking at your faces, there seems to be no other development." Ark shook his head. "Having a loss for 'throwing' a lot of supplies?"
Julian and Joseph's expressions became darker. Julian looked a little embarrassed for messing up. As for Joseph, it seems that the man is angry with certain parties.
"Those people have gone too far! They were too busy thinking about taming a savage beast when winter was near! Though Black Panther itself does not lack personnel, they ..." Joseph gritted his teeth.
Ark shook his head. He doesn't really care. Greed has become a part of man.
They (humans) always want more and more. Ark himself had the same desire because he was also a human. Merely, there was a difference between Ark and the higher-ups of Black Panther. Their difference lies in the control (control) part of the self.
For example, someone is greedy for treasure. If controlled, the person can motivate themselves to work hard in order to become rich and rich in wealth.
On the other hand, there are many people who have a further starting line (richer), but instead fall into poverty because of their greed. Brought with desire, they foolishly sold valuable assets from their parents just to do gambling or something. Thinking can rise to the sky (rich) just by guessing the numbers, but eventually instead fall to the bottom of a dark and rotten abyss because of it.
Just like it happened in Black Panther. Many elders were too greedy to have seen the appearance of the Dark Caravan's cavalry. They intended to tame many ferocious beasts at the expense of many things. In the end, they lost a lot of food, water, and personnel. A big loss!
Although the Silver Cross was also quite greedy, they could still hold back. Moreover, they were lucky enough to not suffer such a huge loss like the rest of the group.
"What about you, Hades? I guess you have also started an experiment to tame a savage beast, right?" ask Julian.
Sensing the gazes from the representatives of the two groups, Ark shrugged. He replied casually.
"I didn't want an accident, so I did a renovation, turned it into a better, safer hatchery and taming place. I'm in no hurry at all, so the place was only finished a few days ago.
We have not started yet. I myself am weighing whether it is better to do it now or wait for spring to come."
Lisa stared at Ark with a look of disbelief on her face. If not for his grandfather constantly complaining about the renovations being too forced at his speed, he would definitely believe the words of that shameless chief!
"I'm more focused on gathering food supplies. After all, doing that taming can't be rushed. Not to mention, now food supplies are harder to obtain.
Huh! Really exhausting!"
Ark took a long breath. Looks helpless as if completely exhausted.
'WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO LIE TO, B-JATAN!'
Julian and Joseph cried out in their hearts. They did not believe Ark's words. In these few weeks, they had purchased more supplies from the Dark Caravan. They obviously took it out smoothly. So the lack of supplies is obviously just a joke!
"You wouldn't invite us to come just to mock you, would you, Mr Hades? What do you want?" joseph almost lost his patience.
As if waiting for the question, Ark nodded. A moment later, the young man suddenly took off his mask and placed it on the table.
The appearance of the handsome young man with white skin like snow and the cold face of the ground at the northern end of the world appeared before the eyes of four people. Except for Julian, the other three people were completely shocked when they saw Hades' true appearance.
Ark took the teacup and sipped it. After that, he put it back. With a faint smile on his face, the young man looked towards Julian and Joseph then said.
"Let's make a real alliance."
