“What do I want to do?”
Evans murmured. Gazing towards his brother's eyes, the young man felt dazed. At that moment, various bad memories re-emerged in his head.
Evans took a few steps back and held his head while shouting. The young man was sweating profusely. After a while, he calmed down. Evans then looked at his brother and said.
“I can't come with you, Brother Archie.”
“Why?” ask Ark with a flat expression.
“Because I will never be able to calm down before being able to avenge the six of my brothers.”
“Brother?”
“People who sacrificed their lives to protect people like me.”
Evans said with a wry smile on his face. She felt like crying, but held back from wanting any more tears to spill in vain.
“Do you need my help?” ask Ark.
“Eh?”
“Maybe it is still a bit troublesome to fight against Crux of Shadow. Yet the mere Spirit of Fire .. finishing them off is no big deal to us.”
Hearing that, Evans was immediately tempted. He felt deep hatred and wanted to destroy them. But at that time, the young man realized that he could not always be in the shadow of his brother and relied too much on him. Moreover, this was his grudge, so he wanted to avenge it with his own hands.
“Sorry, Brother Archie. I want to do it with my own two hands.”
At the moment when Evans answered, Ark smiled. He approached the young man while saying.
“Then I will help you become stronger faster. Compared to you still fumbling around, I've found my way. I can also teach you some useful little tricks.”
“Sister Archie, you ..”
Evans felt a little overwhelmed. Seeing the smile on her brother's face that was so familiar, she felt warmer. Although he once again lost someone, but he still had a family he could trust. This made Evans feel relieved.
Ark walked up to his sister then patted the young man on the head, saying casually with a friendly smile on his face.
“Isn't that the use of a Big Brother?”

Meanwhile, at the Spirit of Fire headquarters.
In the office, everyone gathers for a meeting. Sitting on the chairman's chair, the figure of the middle-aged man had a gloomy expression on his face. This made many people not dare to look directly at him.
“So ... what do you want to say about this issue?”
“This is not what you think, Mr. Adolf. As you know, we need strength to fight against the Crux of Shadow. The boy named Evans was also a member of the Spirit of Fire. He should have helped. So-“
“Call me Chairman!” said Mr. Adolf.
Seeing everyone speechless, the middle-aged man then said angrily.
“Even if you want to know the secret, you can approach it carefully and ask after closer. What the fuck is that threatening way? Are you all stupid?!
A talented young man died and another who had a special ability escaped! Do you know what you're doing?!”
“He's just a sloppy and naive young man, Chairman. He won't-“
“STUPID! A DEAF RABBIT WILL BITE WHEN CORNERED, LET ALONE A HUMAN!”
“...”
“You killed his best friend. All of you are putting the Spirit of Fire in deep trouble! Did your brain cells die from too much corruption while in office, K-parat?! This is no longer a place where people who only rely on positions like you can continue to rule!
Tell me, where is the corpse of that young man named Brian?! Besides, tell me why did you guys take the risky decision to attack Evans directly?!”
Hearing the report, Mr Adolf's expression darkened. At that moment, the meeting room door opened. The figure of Adolf's daughter entered the room and approached her father with a heavy expression.
“This is really bad news, Father.”
“What's up?” ask Mr. Adolf.
“It seems that there are outsiders who have found out the way to get to headquarters.”
“What do you mean?” Mr. Adolf kicked the table.
“There was someone who hurt Brian so badly. That guy seems really good at hiding. He followed Brian and went into the base.
According to my guess, the mysterious letter I found in one of the elder's rooms had something to do with that person. It seems like he deliberately revealed Evans' strength and made these impatient greedy people try to catch him. Furthermore, letting Brian get killed and making Evans have a deep hatred towards the Spirit of Fire.
Also, it seems that the black-robed man was also the one who took Brian's corpse away. The reason is completely unknown. To be sure, he was clearly deliberately trapping the Spirit of Fire.”
PYARR!
Mr. Adolf slammed the glass directly onto the floor with a gloomy face. He looked at his daughter. After a while, the middle-aged man inhaled a deep breath then asked.
“Who do you think that person is and what's the reason he got to do that kind of thing?”
“From his appearance, that person should be a member of the Sword of Sufferings. As for the reason, I didn't know it at all.”
“Sword of Sufferings? Since when did our member create a problem with that group?” He turned his eyes to the elders. “Did you guys give the young man another mission that provoked the group?”
“No, Chairman! We don't do that kind of thing at all.”
Mr. Adolf obviously did not fully trust them. The Spirit of Fire had clearly been made a fuss and was hiding like a mouse by the Crux of Shadow. Now they also had to face the Sword of Sufferings and a young man with a strange ability who had a grudge against them.
Thinking of it all, Mr Adolf's face looked to be several years older.

Meanwhile, in a two-story building on the outskirts of the city.
“Can you talk? If you can't yet, it's better not to force yourself to do it.”
Saito who hung the robe on the clothes hanger and took off his mask asked with a flat expression. He then glanced towards the figure of the young man lying on top of the old bed that had been cleaned. Almost all parts of his body were wrapped around a silk cloth that was cut into bandages. In addition, a strong herbal aroma wafted from the young man's body.
Yep. The figure lying in bed is Evans' best friend, Brian!
Looking at the young man, Saito smiled.
“Although the chairman said that you should pretend to kill yourself, I did not expect that you would cut your neck cruelly. If I hadn't been there, you would have been dead. Do you really want revenge?”
“...”
Brian who was conscious but still felt pain all over his body could only stare towards Saito. Although not as conspicuous as Hades who is like the sun and two others who are like wild beasts, but Brian knows that Saito is very important for Hades.
You could say, this person was already akin to the shadow of that Underworld King!
What made Brian admire Saito even more was his extremely powerful sword technique and ghost-disappearing skills. If it encountered such an enemy, Brian was confident the possibility of escaping was close to zero. Getting compliments from such a person, he felt quite happy. But the next sentence made Brian even more surprised.
“Master has told me to give you an assessment. Because of the totality you do and the fearlessness of facing death, I consider you worthy. So from now on you will receive a new mission ..”
Saito smiled as he said.
“You will train under me until you deserve to be Evans.”'s right hand
“Prepare to surprise him when you meet back.”
