Next morning.
After making the decision to embark on an expedition out of town, Ark plans to meet Julian and Joseph to discuss something very important. It even had a great influence in the security of the people in the city.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
As he prepared, Ark was slightly surprised when he heard a knock on the door. He walked to the door and opened it. There, there was the figure of Abigail standing while carrying a pile of clothes.
“I've sewed clothes for you, Chief. Not knowing the exact size, maybe the clothes are a little bigger.”
“En? Didn't I have gotten clothes before?” Ark tilted his head.
“It's different. As the Chairman of the strongest group, you must always perform well on the way out. Although it is usually very good, I hope you can use this.”
Ark was a little confused after receiving a pile of clothes from Abigail. Looking at the woman who immediately left after handing it over, he did not forget to say.
“Thank you very much, Abigail.”
After receiving the clothes, Ark went straight into the room to check them out. In contrast to his slightly alakadar appearance and the important thing can be used to fight like before. This time, the clothes made by Abigail were not only comfortable to use for fighting, but also looked more beautiful and formal.
What Ark got was two black trousers and four long-sleeved shirts, two black and two white. Her clothing model is a little different because now the bottom is a little longer and uses an upright collar that almost covers half of her neck.
Ark looked in the mirror where he saw a young man with white hair who had been cut off by a boat and tied back, red eyes like pomegranates, and a handsome face wearing a white shirt and black trousers. Looks simple enough, but neat and elegant. The sight could not help but make the young man sigh.
‘Clothes can really improve a person's appearance.’
After descending, Ark was once again startled by the many gifts sent to his house. They were gifts made by three scientists and craftsmen.
Two white cape suits with white crow fur, two pairs of leather shoes and black leather gloves, even a new saddle for Finn.
‘Are people not okay? Why did they send a gift so suddenly? It's not even my birthday. Even if it is a birthday, such a thing does not need to be celebrated in this kind of apocalypse.’
Ark was clearly confused. After all, such a thing was never thought of by the young man at all.
Ark really did not know that such gift giving was done by people on purpose. They did it as a thank you to Ark for protecting them. After all, what they got right now was also thanks to that young man.
Not just from people with craftsman status, but all of the core members gave Ark a gift. Although the assortment of items they obtained while patrolling up some random things, but their sincerity could clearly be felt by the young man.
Although it was often said that the Sword of Sufferings was family, but ever since the group was formed, only this time did he feel that kind of feeling.
It felt, he had truly earned the merits he deserved after fighting hard.

While Jay sat down with a bored expression, Julian, Berto, Joseph, and Siegfried looked towards Ark with astonished expressions.
‘White hair, red eyes, elegant clothes, and noble temprament. Really looks like a vampire in the story.’
Thought the four people as they looked at Ark's more conspicuous appearance than before.
“Stop looking at me that way because it feels disgusting. Rather than looking at me that way, you can go straight to Luxuria Nest.”
Hearing Ark's words, the corners of the four people's lips twitched. Luxuria Nest is the name of a pleasure house created by Ark. Not just a member of the Sword of Sufferings, but quite a number of customers from other places. Only, although Luxuria Nest itself served, but they had quite a lot of rules.
People who want to use the service must register and make an appointment first. The workers at the site only receive one customer each day. They take a break every two weeks, one for mental rest, and the other vacation is used for regular monthly health checks.
Although there are many rules, but many people who queue and order. The women in that place were quite good not only in appearance, but also in their skills. Not to mention, the place and people that were there were completely clean. Even the customers are required to pay a little extra fee to wipe the dirt and dust with a wet cloth because before and after the transaction the place really has to be clean.
Luxuria Nest has 51 members with Skyla as its leader. There are 45 people who sell services, and 5 people are in charge of cleaning.
Skyla himself decided to stop opening services and become the great Mistress in Luxuria Nest. He was in charge of organizing everything, including the price that every woman pegged and their pay. In addition to feeding himself, it was done to feed 5 janitors. Even 45 people agreed because Skyla had a bigger goal of saving some food in exchange for medicine and other things from the Sword of Sufferings.
You could say, that woman was very clever. Even so ingenious, he managed to make a rumor that he was liked by Ark and became his mistress. This of course prevents many customers who try to rent their services.
But the rumors clearly made some of the women around the Ark unhappy and tried to cause trouble, but Skyla was completely evasive with her intelligence.
‘It's just a rumor of unknown origin? If I'm wrong, where is the evidence? Why should I confess to the public and expose false rumors in my favor when it is an advantage given by public opinion?’
Since it cannot kill people ‘not guilty’, those women can only return grimly.
In addition, due to Luxuria Nest, Ark was able to open a hotel and hire 400 temporary workers.
Those people were mostly the male fighters who had fought under the Ark before. The young man hired them for a better meal than what they could get each day. Besides being able to eat enough, they could set aside a little for the cost of staying. If set aside in some time, they can also have fun by hiring services. Their lives will increase from before.
Within its own territory, nothing is free. Ark didn't force those people to stay. They can be outside their territory and sleep in any place and come to work. It's just, they're not stupid to do it. After all, one of the important aspects of staying in the Sword of Sufferings territory was its security. So they chose to rent.
Thus, Ark finally found 400 temporary workers who were not members of the Sword of Sufferings to begin the construction of the large wall. In addition, he could expend an excessive supply of food that might be damaged if left unchecked. Arguably, spin the money in his hands and make the most of it.
Create an area that can be called a market and one of the new economic points in the city!
The four people stared at the Ark with serious expressions. Compared to an elegant and blood-drinking vampire, Ark is obviously more ruthless, cunning, and likes to control things behind the scenes. So, rather than vampires, for them ...
Ark deserves to be called the White Devil!
