Apocalypse Regression's

Three Sides Situation

People entered the main building of the Crux of Shadow headquarters. It was previously the largest cathedral in the city. The shape of the ancient but magnificent building makes the atmosphere look more solemn.

After walking for some time, they arrived at the meeting room.

“You guys really made us wait so long.”

By the time Silvia, Anthony, and George entered, they were all greeted by a burly man. He has a well-built body, a square face, and the most conspicuous. From his appearance alone, everyone clearly knew that the man was a soldier, a soldier defending the country. Or at least ...

Ex-soldier.

“Can you just shut up, Claus? You really make everyone feel upset when talking.”

“Am I not the one who should have said that, Anthony?”

Claus and Anthony looked at each other. There was a smell of gunpowder among them, it seemed that it would actually explode at any moment. The relationship is obviously not good, but strangely they can be in the same group.

Silvia had absolutely no concern for the two men she thought of as clowns. He immediately walked towards his seat. Totally ignoring the people around.

In the meeting room, there was a round table with twelve chairs surrounding it. Other than Silvia, there were already six people seated. Coupled with Claus, Anthony, George, and Renal being treated.

Sensing the gazes the other members directed, Claus and Anthony stopped arguing. They go to their seats. After everyone sat down in their seats, there were only two seats that were still empty.

“Did Simon call us all for no reason?” silvia's voice sounded.

Upon hearing the woman's words, the expressions of many people changed. Other than a few people who were not so attached, most of them clearly respected the man named Simon because .. he was the chairman of the Crux of Shadow.

“Even if you know the Chairman, you can't call him that way, Silvia! The chairman is the person appointed by-“

“I didn't come here to hear your prank, Robb.”

The figure of a tall and thin man with long curly hair and a sharp nose spoke in a tone full of adoration, but was immediately interrupted by Silvia.

“I told you, Silvia! Call me Roze!” shout those ‘men’ with unnaturally high tones.

“Close your mouth, Sissy.” Silvia glanced at Robb with cold eyes.

The man was very angry. Only, he also knew of Silvia's strength. Robb himself was afraid of the woman. After all, Silvia's strength was also recognized by the Crux of Shadow's own chief.

“It seems that everyone has attended. Forgive my delay, I have to check Renal first.”

At that moment, a gentle and polite male voice sounded. People turned to the source of the sound at the same time.

Meanwhile, it's still in the same town.

In a building on the outskirts of the city that was secluded and filled with trees around it, there seemed to be a lot of people gathering. They were all people who belonged to the Spirit of Fire group, a group that was at odds with the Crux of Shadow.

Arguably, some of them were official figures of the government that was overthrown by the Crux of Shadow, continuing to try to fight despite losing many times. They were all also always hiding in a dark place, so many people called them dirty rats.

In the narrow not far from there, there appeared a figure of a dirty young man walking with a grim expression on his face.

It was Evans. It had been some time since he had been released by Silvia and Irene, but it was only now that the young man was able to return to the headquarters. In these few days, he had experienced a very difficult experience. It could be said to be almost as heavy as being tortured in a desolate and dark space.

At that moment, many people were shocked and turned their eyes towards Evans. Many of them instantly carried weapons, preparing to fight against the enemies that suddenly appeared. But the sound of men's cries instantly stopped their movements.

At that very instant, a young man figure instantly walked out of the crowd and rushed towards Evans. A sad and happy smile appeared on the young man's face.

“Is that you, Evans? Are you all right? You ... Where have you been all this time?”

Hearing the young man's familiar voice, Evans looked in that direction while imposing a smile on his face.

“It's good to see you're okay, Brian.”

When he heard the hoarse voice of his best friend, Brian's eyes immediately fogged up. He immediately ran towards the young man then embraced him with a feisty smile.

“A little over a month passed. Where have you been all this time? What about your looks? Are you all right? You look really bad now.”

“Ya ... it's a long story and can't be completed in one breath.”

Seeing the look of fatigue on Evans' face, Brian immediately took his best friend away to his residence. Seeing that, even though many people were in doubt, most of them did not say anything at all. After all, no one would deliberately pretend to join the Spirit of Fire because they were enemies of the Crux of Shadow.

There are not many people who want to try to play at the risk of their lives.

Arriving at his room, Brian immediately asked Evans to change clothes. He also prepared a bottle of water and a clean cloth to cleanse the young man's body of dirt and dust. After all, Evans' current appearance really did look very bad.

Only, by the time Evans undressed, Brian's expression instantly turned pale. On the young man's body, many long scars looked extremely terrifying. With wide eyes, Brian pointed towards Evans while asking.

“You ... what really happened to you all this time, Evans?”

Hearing the question, Evans stared at his best friend with a forced smile on his face.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Sword of Sufferings branch.

When nearly three hundred people were killed, the rest of the people from the other four groups returned. They seemed to have immediately left the Sword of Sufferings headquarters in a hurry. There was absolutely no intention of staying for some in that place they considered dangerous.

Looking at the people who were leaving, the prisoners of Sword of Sufferings shook their heads. It seemed to find it somewhat amusing when it saw the large group that they had previously feared so much now running away in a hurry.

In the previous meeting room, Ark was still sitting relaxed. Although nine bodies had been removed, the traces of blood on the floor and walls had still not been cleaned.

There, the young man was still sitting casually while drinking tea. Not at all staggered by such a bloody scene.

“Do you have to treat them so well, Chairman?”

Standing behind Ark, Saito asked with an astonished expression.

Ark who was listening to the question put the glass on the table. He then said with a gentle smile.

“Do you know about carrots, sticks, and donkeys? We ride on the ass's back while tying the carrot to the end of the stick and then place it far in front of the donkey. Yes ... let the donkey run for us while chasing that carrot.”

Ark's words left Saito a little confused. Only one thing he understands. Sword of Sufferings made use of the other groups in this city without having to suffer any losses. While the purpose of Ark in the future ...

Saito could not guess at all what the chairman was thinking!
