"Make sure to clear all the snow on the streets so as not to hamper our daily activities."
Jay pointed towards some of the men from the working section, asking them to clear the front road of the headquarters. Due to the snowstorm that occurred earlier, the condition of the streets was completely covered in thick snow.
Not only the workers, members who are considered to be in the group of fighters also do the same thing. The difference is, they clean the area around the headquarters and warehouse.
All of this is not just cleaning the environment so that activities can be run again. However, Ark also trained them to get used to any extreme conditions. Good heat, cold, rain, windy, and so on.
Just then, Huginn and Muninn's voices sounded in the sky. Everyone immediately looked in the same direction.
From a distance, the figure of the green-robed man riding on a huge wolf drove quietly on the snow. Seeing the arrival of the man, Jay felt confused.
"Did time pass so fast? You're back, Darin?" Jay approached her with a cheerful smile.
Darin who had just arrived directly descended from Sansa's back. He had the husky follow his brothers and sisters while himself went straight to the Sword of Sufferings headquarters.
"Are you okay, Darin?"
Seeing how Darin just kept quiet, Jay felt confused. Not to mention when he saw the blank stare behind his mask. This made the man uncomfortable.
"Sorry, Brother Jay. I have something to tell the chairman. This is really important."
After saying that, Darin went straight to the main headquarters. Entering the house, he was shocked when he saw Ark coming down the stairs.
"Chairman .." murmured Darin helplessly.
"Call all the higher-ups of the Sword of Sufferings. Tell them to come to the meeting place." Ark's eyes flashed coldly. "Now!"
A short while later, all the higher-ups of the Sword of Sufferings had finally gathered in the meeting room.
Except Darin who stood up and was reluctant to sit down, everyone had been in the room. Sitting while staring at Darin with astonished expressions on their faces.
"Say Darin. What's the matter to the point that you have to rush back, even get hurt."
Bruk!
Darin immediately knelt on the floor. He took off his mask and put it to the side. The young man looked pale. Not only did it appear sickly, but it was also slightly thinner and haggard.
Darin without the slightest hesitation directly banged his head against the floor violently. He did so three times until his forehead was bruised and bleeding. After that, he said.
"I'm sorry for my negligence, Chairman. Because of my carelessness ...
Vadim defected from the Sword of Sufferings!
Vadim poisoned us. Although there was no death, but the condition of the people was not so good. In addition, there is something more important than the defection itself.
That person ... He stole the evolution potion rations for the newly trained members.
If used to break through the level one boundary, it could at least make eight people!"
The room immediately became quiet. Everyone was silent, seemingly completely distrustful of what they heard.
Those people did not expect that the usually quiet and friendly Vadim could become so cunning.
No matter when, Ark suddenly stood in front of Darin. Everyone who had daydreamed was completely shocked by the movement.
Just as Ark was about to move, a hand grabbed his wrist.
"Even though Darin is the leader of the small group, he can't be entirely blamed, Ark."
Jay holds Ark's wrist. He looked at his best friend with a serious expression.
"Take it off."
"Unless you promise not to hurt Darin, I won't let him go."
Hearing that, Ark closed his eyes. He took a deep breath.
"Let go" said the young man calmly.
"..."
Seeing the calmer Ark, Jay finally lets go of his best friend's wrist. It seems that the young man (Ark), has not been completely insane and lost his sanity.
Just when the hand was released, Ark instantly turned around.
BLARR!!!
The large meeting table, made of sturdy and thick marble was instantly smashed into pieces. Everyone was shocked, even most of them were a bit pale.
Seeing how Ark damaged the valuables he took good care of ...
They knew that the leader was really angry!
Ark walked up to the window with a dark expression. He then opened the window to see Roxanne and the Violet Sword members rushing towards the headquarters.
"Let Roxanne come in" Ark said calmly.
Upon hearing that, Lisa immediately stood up from her seat. He's coming out to pick up Roxanne.
A while later, the girl walked into the room with a pale expression.
"Calm yourself. Say it slowly."
Hearing Ark's words, Roxanne nodded. He took a deep breath. After she calmed down, the girl said.
"Many wild beasts are beginning to appear, Chief. Many of them also appear outside our territory (elite residential areas).
It seems, as the number of people in the Sword of Sufferings increases and we often make fire .. they discover the whereabouts of our headquarters."
"..."
Ark silent. The young man closed his eyes. His breathing became stable and more stable.
'It turns out it's started.'
While Ark learns that the so-called white calamity has finally begun, the expressions of the rest of the group become even more grim.
"After the betrayal, now the savage beasts that usually hide their tails appear. Don't tell me that the zombies are also starting to move!"
Jay said with a annoyed expression.
Ark unconsciously reached into his pocket. Realizing there were no cigarettes there, he let out a long sigh. In his previous life, the young man always smoked cigarettes when faced with many problems. Although not very helpful, it made him calmer.
Without Ark knowing, the habit is still carried away to this life.
"What should we do now, Ark?" ask Jay.
Ark leaning against the wall. He was silent for a moment to think about things. After that, the young man opened his mouth.
"Vadim should have gone to the Imperial Tiger and the Third Scars. That thing is certain.
For now, we don't have to think about it."
"Huh???!"
Not only Jay, the other members were also very surprised. Darin was also confused. According to them, Ark was a strict and ruthless person. Clearly letting go of someone was completely incompatible with his nature.
"We have to take care of the problem of wild animals and zombies. Not only were they too troublesome, but they also threatened the survivors.
You could say, we have a lot of work and a shortage of people. We need to focus on more important issues. Leave Vadim's troubles for later."
"We can send people to destroy Imperial Tigers and Third Scars!" jay was firm.
"Then let them escape and make more trouble?" reply Ark.
"..."
Everyone immediately fell silent. Meanwhile, Ark shook his head. He explained with a flat expression on his face.
"New members or even the Scarlet Sword, I still doubt their loyalty. They must be kept under surveillance because we do not know the human heart.
Even Vadim who belonged to the core members could defect, let alone with them.
If we let them go and eventually they escape in different directions, it becomes even more troublesome. We don't have much time to chase after some brats, so let one run away.
Sure oes. Once everything returns to normal, we will repay this loss. A dozen level one people were simply not worth comparing to the ferocious wild beasts and zombies."
Ark then looked towards those people who were full of doubts. He went back to explaining.
"Each core member will lead the group to defend the territory. In addition, we should keep an eye on the new members.
Maybe you think we should send some elite men to hunt Vadim, but we're short on manpower. While sending one or two people to pursue ...
Maybe that's what the higher-ups of Imperial Tiger and Third Scars are planning to trap our core members."
Ark took a deep breath before sighing deeply. After that, he said.
"So the conclusion, for now ..."
"Let the clowns dance."
