Apocalypse Regression's

The Golden Maple Group

‘Autumn Crocus ..’

Thinking of the woman, Ark immediately frowned. Bad memories came to his mind.

‘If in the previous life, the best option is to finish it directly. But after returning, it seemed that the purple eye had yet to lose its sanity.

Can it be tamed like Angelica?’

Ark was hesitant and worried. It was not that he did not want the girl's talent, it was just that the experience in his previous life made him want to eliminate the woman so as not to spoil the scene.

In his previous life, Autumn Crocus made many groups fall. Although many deny the woman was involved, Ark himself believes Autumn Crocus had anything to do with her.

The reason is actually quite simple. Just like Lone Star (himself), Autumn Crocus has absolutely no sense of belonging.

That is, even though it is joined by a group, Autumn Crocus does not really care about them. You could say, the woman wanted to join because she got enough research material.

From that point of view alone, Ark believed that the aloof Lone Star was better than the Autumn Crocus clinging to a large group at will. Really similar to a prick.

‘Still soft, still young, haven't had much experience ..’

Thinking about the current condition of Autumn Crocus, Ark became even more convinced. If it can make Chelsea maintain a sense of warmth in his soul, then the terrible life that awaits him is not at all necessary.

Only, the young man felt somewhat doubtful. For him, Chelsea are more like unstable variables. Saving it is a little inconvenient, but more troublesome if it is released.

‘Should ... removing the female is the best option.’

Despite having a bold idea, Ark felt that such an idea was unrealistic. After all, from appearance, the woman had a close relationship with Jay. Even Ark felt that the relationship between the two seemed to be quite complicated.

Jay already has Mona. Although it is common for strong people to take more, but the relationship of Jay and Mona is more towards equality.

Mona is now almost able to rival Jay. Their strength is on the same level. So, if Jay makes a decision without asking, his relationship with Mona is definitely starting to stretch.

According to Ark's own memory, except for the tyrants, most men will say to their partners if they want to increase the number of ‘family’. This also applies to strong people. At least those people still had little respect for their partner.

Realizing that he was thinking about other people's domestic affairs, Ark immediately shook his head.

“Are you okay, Ark?”

Jay's question made Ark aware of his daydream. The young man then replied with a flat expression on his face.

“It's okay. It's just, I just tested something, so pretty tired.” Ark glanced at Jay who was walking beside him. “Back. Finish your business first.”

“EH?!”

Jay's dumbfounded. After a while, the man asked again.

“Is it okay? I mean, do you really not know Chelsea and have no hatred for her?”

“I don't know him. It's just, he's a little similar to someone. So I overreacted.”

After saying that, Ark walked a little faster. Leaving Jay who was standing still in the hallway with an expression full of doubt on his face.

Unable to get any meaningful information from the Ark, Jay could only sigh. The man eventually returned to where Mona and Chelsea were.

***

Her night.

At dinner time, everyone including the guests gathered at the same place. They were all in front of the building, lighting a bonfire while handing out food.

Such a thing could be considered careless as it could attract zombies or mutated beasts. But Ark and his colleagues don't really care.

“This annoying gray mist ..” Jay frowned. “I really can't distinguish whether it's still day or it's night.”

Hearing such grievances, Ark and the Sword of Sufferings members were already commonplace. To them, it was indeed one of the traits that made it rather striking.

Only, this time they did not pay any attention to Jay at all. Instead, the entire Sword of Sufferings members stared at the Ark sitting on a pedestal of mutated beast skins. The young man sat quietly while watching the guests coming from afar.

“No need to feel hesitate to eat it. We won't bother killing you with poison.”

“Doing such a thing is a waste. After all, just killing you guys .. poison is not at all necessary.”

Ark's remarks made the guests uncomfortable. But he doesn't care because it's a fact. To kill eight ordinary people. Even one of the soldiers did not need to advance. One to two cooks or craftsmen was enough to handle them.

Meanwhile, the Sword of Sufferings warriors ate while occasionally glancing towards the guests. Seemed interested in their response. They looked like a pack of wolves staring at some rabbits.

If until those people made unnecessary moves and challenged a figure they respected, the soldiers were ready to come forward and slashed at them viciously.

Sensing the fierce gazes directed at them, the guests of the Golden Maple Group were nervous. Bathed with ‘friendly group’ from Jay's mouth, they feel like they're in a den of monsters and demons.

It really makes them not feel safe!

In the end, they could only shut up while eating their dinner.

After dinner together, everyone sat down to rest in that place. It didn't go right away because Ark was also still sitting there. It seemed that the young man wanted to say something in front of the people.

Sitting leisurely while propping up his chin, Ark looked towards the guests with no change in expression on his face.

“So ... what is the reason you came to the Sword of Sufferings headquarters? I wouldn't believe it if you guys came just to drop off Jay.”

Hearing the question, the envoys from the Golden Maple Group glanced at each other.

In the end, Rhodez got up and said with a respectful tone.

“Actually, the reason for our arrival is not just to escort Young Master, Mr. Ark. The reason for our arrival was due to an order from Mrs Lara to contact you.”

“Oh?”

Ark replied with a flat expression.

“What? Why don't I know that?” ask Jay.

The man did not expect at all that the reason for the arrival of the people from the Golden Maple Group was his mother's order. Glancing at the looking down Chelsea in silence, he felt somewhat depressed.

At first, the young man felt that Chelsea wanted to follow him because he was interested in him. Who would have thought, it turns out that the arrival of the girl had something to do with the mother.

“What does Lady Lara want from Sword of Sufferings?”

“He wants to invite you to come to the headquarters of Golden Maple Group. Not only Mrs Lara, but Mr. Chris also wants to meet you.”

Hearing that, Ark nodded lightly. He knew Rhodez didn't say it all because he knew their goal couldn't be easily achieved. Therefore, the man instead invited him to come to the headquarters of the Golden Maple Group.

‘Aware that he could not convince me to form an alliance, he eventually directly directed it to his chairman and deputy, huh?’

Ark's lip angle was slightly raised.

‘Quite interesting.’
