One week just passed.
In front of the heavily guarded headquarters of the Sword of Sufferings branch, over 700 people gathered. They were all representatives of the seven strongest groups in this city. Each group came with 100 soldiers. In addition to ensuring safety on the way, they do that in anticipation of a battle if needed.
While the reason they all came today was .. the invitation written by Hades for them.
In addition to the Crimson Jackals that the Sword of Sufferings had destroyed, Ark invited nine other groups including the Emerald Goshawk and Golden Crown. A total of nine groups, but two groups decided not to attend.
“Is this really the notoriously bad and low-key Crimson Jackals headquarters?”
Looking at the clean buildings, the reinforced barrier walls, and some watchtowers from outside. He then glanced towards his older brother, but the man was clearly as surprised as he was.
“It turns out the representatives have come!”
The gate opened, more than seven hundred people saw the skinny figure of Demonte, but had a smile on his face. His clothes looked even more neat compared to them. In addition, there was something striking .. namely the image of a black sword on the man's arm.
“We warmly welcome your enthusiasm, only, according to the rules, only 3 people per group are allowed to enter. So the rest are welcome to wait outside.”
“WHO MADE THOSE RULES?! ARE YOU GUYS-“
“DIAM!!”
As the man with the ferocious appearance of one of the groups shouted, the figure of the chairman of the Golden Crown instantly interrupted his remark. He immediately looked at the man with a fierce look. This immediately made the expressions of the other six group leaders become serious.
Recruiting them, the Golden Crown group was usually more domineering. Not to mention, the leader of such groups is usually the most indifferent and trivial of others. So upon seeing the middle-aged man who acted so obediently, they were obviously very surprised.
“It seems that you also take this meeting seriously, Mr. Franco.” Mattias said politely with a smile on his face.
“Of course I take it seriously. Otherwise, I won't bring the best people from my group to come.” Franco glanced at Mattias. “Didn't you also take it seriously?”
Seeing Franco's eyes, Mattias was stunned for a moment. He then recalled some of the spreading rumors then looked at the man with an expression of disbelief. But when he finds a trace of despair in Franco's eyes, Mattias realizes that the rumor of the attack on the Golden Crown is true.
“Everyone, find a place to rest!” shouted Franco.
“Good, Sir!” answer his subordinates in unison.
“I go first,” added the middle-aged man as he glanced towards Mattias.
Seeing Franco and his two confidants leave, Mattias took a deep breath. He then told his subordinates to rest, then left together with his sister and confidant.
Upon entering the residential area that had been converted into a branch headquarters, they were once again startled by the cleanliness of the area. Not only that, they also saw many people working in different large houses. Some were sorting out some metals, some were making various crafts, some were collecting various strange plants, some were, and most striking are those who collect saplings of bread trees in many pots in the yard.
“This ..”
Seeing the total change in the Crimson Jackals taken over by the Sword of Sufferings in less than a month left them shocked and starting to doubt their development all along. Just then, Demonte's friendly voice sounded.
“According to the chairman, the most difficult is to start. He had started it once, so when repeating, everything went so fast without much hitch.”
“People you mean it .. Hades?” ask Caroline.
“If not?” Demonte shrugged. “We all who are now here are prisoners of the Sword of Sufferings group, and in this group ... there is only one chairman at once master, namely Mr. Hades.”
“Detention?” caroline asked with a confused expression.
“Yes, prisoner. Despite the name of the prisoner, but we are more like a reserve force or a recruit from this group. Bound with Sword of Sufferings, but lacked the ability to enter and was considered a real member. That's what prisoners mean.”
Not only Caroline, but the 20 representatives from the seven groups also fell silent. They really did not expect that the Sword of Sufferings were implementing such a system. Normally, those people would definitely feel dissatisfied and rebellious. But what they see is the opposite.
The people who were called prisoners and considered unworthy of being members of the Sword of Sufferings worked obediently, even smiling and laughing. Seemed so happy, it did not match their status as prisoners.
“We get to.”
Demonte's voice was heard again. At that time, they arrived at a smaller house compared to several other houses. But the place is no less clean. Even seem cleaner and neat.
In front of the entrance, there were two people waiting on the left and right side of the door. While the eighteen others did not recognize the two people, the other three knew them. Although the two men were now not wearing robes, Mattias, Caroline, and her friend still knew them.
Both Draco and Leon led dozens of men to slaughter half of the Emerald Goshawk members!
“Yo! It turns out you guys have arrived! I'm really tired of standing and waiting.”
Leon scratched the back of his head. He then grinned. It's just that the grin doesn't make anyone else happy. Instead, it made people nervous as they felt they were being stared at by a savage beast.
“Don't scare them, Leon.” Draco interrupted. He then glanced towards Demonte. “We will handle the rest. You can go.”
“Then I leave the rest to you, Mr Draco.”
Demonte saluted and left. Just then, everyone stared at Draco and Leon.
Draco opened the door then said, “Please follow us, the Chairman has been waiting for you guys.”
The men follow Draco and Leon into the house.
First of all, they all saw an empty and clean living room. Not only the living room, but other rooms are also clean without furniture. There is no place to hide anything. There was not even a display on the wall, it was completely clean and a little empty.
After walking for some time, they finally arrived at the front door. An ordinary closed door, but it made all of them feel nervous.
“You can enter.”
A relaxed but so indifferent voice sounded from within the room. Then, Draco opened the door so that people could enter.
When people enter the room. They were immediately greeted with a view of the spacious meeting room with neatly arranged tables and chairs. Their views immediately turned to the main seat, where the chairman or organizer was located.
Behind the chair, two figures stood. On the left side, there was a handsome man in formal attire. He closed his eyes, with a katana on the left side of his waist. Everyone knew him, as the man was a figure capable of infiltrating their headquarters easily to convey a message.
On the right side, there was a figure of Stacy who was smiling kindly. He was wearing neat clothes while carrying a pile of paper. Although her appearance was beautiful, but somehow .. 21 people who had just arrived felt a bit scared.
Meanwhile, on the chair sat the figure of a handsome young man in all-white clothes. Even his hair was white like snow.
The young man opened his eyes, revealing ruby-red irises looking at them coldly. Just then, a calm but charismatic voice entered their ears.
“Welcome to our simple headquarters. Please sit back and relax, then ..”
Ark tilted his head.
“Let's talk for a moment.”
