“Jay back bringing outsiders?”
Ark raised his eyebrows. He had not expected, not only was it too late, that his friend had brought people when he returned.
From Roxanne's tone, the person Jay brought was clearly in the ‘ category or should not have been accepted as a guest.
“Then let me meet them directly.”
“Then I will drop you off, Mr.”
Ark nodded lightly. After that, he followed Roxanne into the base. As a new member, Angelica simply followed them in silence.
Arriving at them into the living room, Ark immediately saw a few people. From their appearance, he knew that those people from the group were quite prominent in this city.
After all, although not strong, each of them was still better than some random group of non-professionals.
Instead, those people also saw the arrival of the Ark. Although there were two beautiful women by his side, they couldn't help but look towards the white-haired young man and have those ruby-like red eyes.
Not only was his appearance so striking, but there was an invisible aura around him. An aura that only great figures possessed. The kind of aura that made many people subconsciously feel respectful and somewhat afraid of him.
“You?” ask Ark with a flat face.
Seven people including the leader instantly stood up and saluted. The figure of the middle-aged man who was the team leader instantly came forward to explain.
“You must be Mr. Ark.
My name is Rhodez. The reason why I came here was on a mission. I was asked to escort the Young Master to reach the destination then return safely.”
Ark nodded lightly. He looked around and said.
“Where is that guy?”
Hearing that, the seven people shook their heads. While they were staying in the living room, Jay immediately left. So they really didn't know where the man was going.
The figure of the guard walked towards the Ark then saluted.
“Lapor, Chairman. Vice Chairman goes along with Miss Mona and the unknown woman.”
“Where do they go?”
“Should be around to see the surrounding area, Chairman.”
“Good work. You can go back to your place.”
“Good, Chairman!”
Ark nodded lightly while patting the man's shoulder lightly. The young man then turned to the seven guests.
“I'm sorry, I have to go for a while. For a while, please stay at this place. Enjoy your food and time to rest after a long journey.
Then excuse me.”
After saying that, Ark immediately left. When the young man left, Roxanne and Angelica immediately followed him.
The main place they were heading to was the casual space where people gathered. Unfortunately, Jay and the other two were not there. So Ark went somewhere else.
The young man then went to where the items were collected and sorted. You could say, the warehouse filtering goods that have just been obtained.
Sure enough, when he got there, Ark saw three people who were looking at the items being dismantled and sorted according to their type.
Only, Ark felt that the atmosphere looked awkward.
Whether because of instinct or accidentally looking back, Jay also realized the arrival of Ark.
Seeing the figure of his best friend, Jay immediately ran and jumped towards him. Of course, Ark directly avoided it.
“Did you not miss me, pal?”
Rise up while patting the dust stuck on his clothes, Jay asked with a dissatisfied expression on his face.
“Samely no.” Ark shrugged while putting on a flat expression. “I think you were eaten by a wild animal and made compost for a giant tree. You still know your way back?”
Hearing Ark's remark, Jay could only scratch the back of his head with a regretful expression.
Ark looked indifferent. He had no doubts about Jay. The young man turned his head towards the guest who came along with his best friend. Right then, he was stunned in his place.
Wavy brown hair, pretty angel look, and lavender-colored eyes.
“You ..”
SWOOSH!
The figure of Ark suddenly disappeared from its place. At the time of his appearance he was ahead of Chelsea.
KLANG!
Having a flat expression on his face, Ark instantly slashed down with a sword. At that very instant, Jay who caught up instantly fended off the young man's attack.
“Are you crazy, Ark?! What are you doing!?”
Hearing Jay's cry, Ark's cold eyes gradually returned to normal. Looks flat and lazy as usual.
The young man then sheathed back his sword. After that, he turned around and said.
“It was just a joke, Jay. I hope you understand.
You should not bring outsiders to the warehouse area because it can be considered an intruder. If you bring him into places that are forbidden to lower level members, let alone outsiders ...
Don't blame me if it's rude.”
Hearing that, Jay just nodded heavily.
Despite breaking a bit of rules, he did not expect Ark to react that way at all. Although not smart, the man is sure that there is something wrong with his best friend. Could be ...
It has to do with Chelsea!
“Chelsea, are you-“
Bruk!
At his turn, Jay looked at Chelsea who had fallen to their knees with a pale expression on his face. His body looked tired and weak due to the recent incident. Obviously, do not expect to get such ‘ksurutan’.
Plaque!
Just as Jay was about to extend his hand, Mona immediately rebuked him. At that moment, Anita immediately spoke.
“I'll take him back to the living room break. You better go see the chairman. From his reaction, there must be something unusual.”
Jay wanted to say something, but could only swallow it back when he saw Mona's cold expression. In the end, the man nodded then left following Ark.
After catching up and walking beside him, Jay asked directly.
“What's up, Ark? Rarely do you react that way.”
“I told you, it's just a warning.”
“You can't lie to me at all, man. Come on, just say it. Do you know Chelsea?"
Jay was very curious. The reason why he was able to respond to Ark's attack was clear because his best friend showed very clear killing intent when he saw Chelsea. If not, he won't have time to react.
‘Could Chelsea have a hidden relationship with Ark? However, that girl was definitely not the type to look up to others. So the reason Ark attacked was definitely not because it had been abandoned or anything like that.
Then ... how could he react so strongly?’
If Ark could read Jay's mind, he would have hit his best friend's head straight away because it connects all the problems with the smells of love dramas as if there were no other genre in the world.
Meanwhile, Ark was busy with his own thoughts. Given the figure of the beautiful and innocent girl, he was very sure that the woman was a familiar figure. At least .. in the future.
Due to the chaotic times, Ark had absolutely no idea what Chelsea were like now. Clearly, he felt confused and wondering in his heart.
‘What exactly does ‘Autumn Crocus’ do in this place?’
