Apocalypse Regression's
Persuading People and Meeting
Three days just passed.
In this time, Evans left with the 24 people he chose. Moreover, the Sword of Sufferings members rested for two days then continued their duties according to Ark's orders. Meanwhile, the man nicknamed Hades was preparing for something else.
Today, Evans and his colleagues visit a group called the Golden Taurus. The group was arguably one of the strong rivals to the Spirit of Fire before. But now it has also fallen for opposing the Crux of Shadow. Arguably, their hatred for the group was no less than the hatred of the Spirit of Fire members.
“You mean, you want to invite us to ask Sword of Sufferings for help?”
Sitting on the chairman's chair, the figure of a burly middle-aged man who looked pale said with a gloomy expression on his face.
“Yes. As long as we follow-“
“Don't joke with us! After rejecting the fanatics of the heretical sect, you want us to follow the plans of the crazy assassins? Is your head okay?”
“What do you mean, Rupert?” Evans raised his eyebrows.
“I said, stop persuading me. I will not join you!”
“Do you want your life to be in the hands of Crux of Shadow, Rupert? If we can get rid of them-“
“Everything is the same! Even if the Crux of Shadow collapses, we will still be under the Sword of Sufferings. Being under those crazy people ... is the same!”
The man named Rupert looked desperate. Seeing such a scene, Evans gritted his teeth. She knew what her brother was doing made the public think badly of her. But the young man did not expect that everything would be this severe. Although these few days had managed to persuade some small groups, it was all not easy at all.
“Crux of Shadow and Sword of Sufferings are not the same, Rupert. Although the Sword of Sufferings were ruthless, they still had restrictions.
They killed the enemy, but not as badly as the Crux of Shadow. They do not ask their branches or the public to make sacrifices every month. Although cruel, they also still give a chance to everyone.”
“Then why don't they just free us all from these shackles?” rupert said with a smile full of ridicule.
“No matter what you think, I just came to persuade you. If I don't, I'm not forcing it. Besides, I came to deliver the news.”
“What news? Sword of Sufferings will come to kill us?”
Hearing the taunts, Evans shook his head.
“Not. The city will soon be in chaos, as fellow townspeople, I just want to remind you. It is good for you to evacuate out of town for a while, or maybe go to another city.
Seeing the serious expression and sincere look in Evans' eyes, Rupert felt somewhat confused. He wants to deny. His brain thought that these were merely the wits of the Sword of Sufferings to seize the land and take resources. But somehow her little heart whispered to believe Evans' words.
Taking a deep breath, Rupert asked.
“Can I trust you, Evans?”
“You can believe it or not.”
Rupert looked at Evans calmly. After a while, he asked.
“What should we do?”
Hearing that question, Evans let out a deep sigh in his heart. Knowing that Rupert was beginning to believe him, the young man knew that what he did afterwards would be easier.

After discussing some plans for the Crux of Shadow opposing group, Evans and his comrades planned to go to the group's next headquarters. It's just, things don't go as she wants.
That same afternoon, they actually met a group of people that Evans did not want to meet.
Looking at the twenty soldiers led by a man, Evans expression instantly turned heavy.
“Hey, who am I meeting right now? Really, it turns out my guess is right! That crazy woman didn't kill you at all. Did he let you go for a reason? Still, it's great that you can survive until now.
Oho! It's not all that important. Since you managed to survive, it means that the Dark Goddess granted my request to kill you with both my own hands! Isn't that right?”
Looking at the man with an ugly smile on his face, Evans recalled the pain he had experienced in that dark and narrow space. Gritting his teeth, the young man growled while staring at his interlocutor with killing intent.
“ANTHONY ..”
Hearing that, Anthony was not afraid at all. Instead, he instead laughed with a crazy expression on his face. Gazing towards Evans with an attentive expression, the man said.
“From your way of speaking, do you miss me ... Evans?”
