Apocalypse Regression's

The Price of an Agreement

Three days later, at the Spirit of Fire headquarters.

After doing physical exercises such as a morning run, lifting weights, and some other exercises, Evans walked back to his room to rest. Since being watched more closely, he decided to act too conspicuously. Other than while doing the task of gathering food and water outside, he only went out of the headquarters once a week.

Just then, a news made his body suddenly freeze on the spot.

“I heard Brian has returned! He's seriously injured!”

“According to the news, wasn't he assigned to track down the Sword of Sufferings? It seems he found them!”

“You mean, the higher-ups told Brian to bridge the relationship between the two groups? Isn't that too dangerous? I mean ... They are Sword of Sufferings who slaughtered many people upon arrival in the city!”

“Isn't that why Brian was so badly injured? I mean, Brian is famous for his ability to make his way and avoid zombies or mutated animals, right?”

“...”

Evans turned around and walked out of the building. He seemed very hasty. A nervous expression appeared on the young man's face.

Upon exiting the building, he was immediately greeted by the sight of the crowd. They surrounded the pale-looking Brian with a neat cross slash wound on his chest. Instead of helping, most of them just become spectators for fear of contracting diseases or things like that.

Gritting his teeth, Evans walked over to Brian. He pushed aside those who were blocking the way. Just as they were all about to get angry, those people immediately shut their mouths when they saw the horrifying expression on Evans' face.

“What happened to you, Brian?!” Evans immediately helped Brian with a worried face on his face.

“It's a long story, Friend.”

Brian replied with a pale expression on his face. The young man was obviously exhausted and dying from losing a lot of blood. The slash wound was really long and deep. Tear the meat until it shows some ribs.

Seeing the condition of his best friend, Evans immediately said with a serious expression.

“Hold, Brian. I'll be bringing you back soon!”

***

A few hours later, in the residence of Brian and Evans.

Looking at the wound that finally managed to be wrapped in a clean cloth in lieu of bandages, Evans let out a long sigh. It seems that his wound has stopped bleeding. Seeing Brian's more relaxed expression, Evans felt somewhat relieved.

Although the two often quarrel, Evans considers Brian and six others as his brothers. After their journey for over a year, only Brian and himself remained. Besides the brothers, she thought she had gotten Beatrice's lover, but it turned out that the girl betrayed her.

Despite thinking her brother was far out there, Evans himself wasn't sure if her brother was still alive or not. So, arguably, Brian is already like the only family left. After all, although many people were in the Spirit of Fire, but most of them were not familiar with each other.

Perhaps more precisely, Evans is afraid of making new relationships out of fear of being betrayed. After all, in one year, there were so many betrayals he had encountered. Some of his brothers also died because of it. So it's understandable if Evans is afraid to start.

“Hey, I really didn't expect that I would see you again, Evans.”

“Silence, Brian. Don't talk much and just rest.”

“It's been a while, I feel magical because it can survive and survive outside. Why does it feel like you have no new friends? Are you still so scared? That introvert attitude is back, huh?’ Brian smiles.

“Diam.”

Evans took a deep breath. Although he was feeling rather happy to see Brian back. But the young man felt that the condition of his best friend was too bad. Right then, he recalled the neatly cut marks then recalled the black-robed figure that repelled his attack easily with a dagger.

“Is the wound due to the attack of the Sword of Sufferings member, Brian?”

“...”

“Why are you quiet?”

Hearing that, Evans' expression darkened. He wants to hit his best friend's head, but eventually gives up after seeing Brian's bad condition. After sighing, the young man finally said.

“It seems that joining the Sword of Sufferings is indeed a bad idea. I mean, they're a bunch of crazy people, Brian! You don't know, before I also met one of them.

I fought hard but could not beat him. Besides, it seems that guy knows my brother. I mean, comeon! My brother is just an office worker who often goes abroad. Since when did he provoke crazy women and men like them?”

“...”

Seeing Evans constantly complaining, Brian blinked. He really wanted to say something, but absolutely could not because it would mess things up. So finally the young man could only complain inwardly.

‘The crazy people you mean are a group of subordinates of your brother, even your own brother the leader of the Sword of Sufferings, Ok?’

“Other times don't act so recklessly, Brian. Our six brothers have left, you can't just die.”

Evans said with an annoyed expression on his face. He stared at his best friend with an annoyed expression. But the young man just smiled at him.

Looking towards Evans and thinking of six other companions, Brian thought.

‘I'm sorry, Evans. I may not be able to fulfill your request. Besides, I made a deal with your brother. If I fail this mission, it means that I will die. However ...

I am sure that my revenge will be avenged as well. Also, Mr. Hades will definitely take care of you. So, I absolutely will not die by regretting.’

“Why are you looking at me that way? I have absolutely no interest in men!” evans was upset.

“...”

Brian's lips twitched. Although he felt angry, but he was also still somewhat relieved when he heard poisonous words from his best friend's mouth. That means the young man is still fine.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Just then, the sound of knocking on the door sounded. Hearing that, Evans looked puzzled. Meanwhile, Brian closed his eyes and thought.

‘It's time, is it?’

Evans came to open the door. However as the door slightly opened, the young man was instantly shocked when a sword directly pierced towards him.

Swooshes!

Evans jumped back. Just then, several people with full weapons instantly entered. Two people directly dragged Brian and placed the sword blade on the young man's neck. The voice of the middle-aged man instantly sounded.

“Do not try to fight if you do not want your friend to die, Evans!”

Just then, three of the several Spirit of Fire elders entered the room. Seeing them, Evans' expression instantly turned ugly. He also recalled what Brian had told him before they parted ways.

“All evidence has been collected, Evans. You have hoarded your own food and water, you also often go out to do things that are unknown. Plus the evidence that you have the same power as the members of the Crux of Shadow.

Now you have been considered a traitor!”

“I'm not a traitor at all!” evans shouted with an angry expression.

“If you are not a traitor and want your best friend safe ..”

The fat and short middle-aged man smiled disgustingly.

“Tell us how did you get that power, Evans?!”
