Apocalypse Regression's

Dangerous Smile

“Something interesting?”

Dedric raised his eyebrows. Staring towards Ark with a confused and curious expression.

“Ya.” Ark nodded lightly. “At first, you asked for 7 :3 for thinking that you found it and you contributed the most, right?”

“Uh.” Dedric nodded lightly.

“Therefore, we, Sword of Sufferings will prove it to you.”

“Proving?”

“Yes. We agreed to do this work together. Finally, we will show which group is more useful. The bet is 7:3 with 7 as the winner and 3 for the loser.

Isn't that fairer? I mean, in this chaotic world, being stronger means having more rights, right?”

Hearing Ark's pretty provoking remark, Dedric stared at Ian. Rounding off his resolve, he still said.

“I will accept this bet!”

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Ark smiled as he reached out his hand.

“Then, congratulations on working with Mr Dedric.”

“It's great to work with you, Mr. Ark. Hopefully there are no regrets between our bets.”

Dedric shook Ark's hand.

“Of course there will be no regrets. In addition, you can also calm down because the Sword of Sufferings always treats business associates well.”

“Should I make a letter of agreement in order to be signed, Chairman?” ask Roxanne.

“No need.” Ark shook his head. “They have trusted us, so we should also trust them. Or ... you want to sign a letter of agreement only, Mr Dedric?”

“Because do not know who will lick his own spit or break a promise at the end, then let's savage the agreement letter.”

Dedric replied after thinking for a moment. The man seems to want to play it safe because he doesn't know Ark yet. Although Ark looks good, but Dedric does not know his heart. That's why he felt he had to be careful.

Hearing Dedric's reply, Ark nodded lightly.

“Then let's sign the agreement letter.”

Seeing Ark and Dedric shaking hands, Ian could only sigh deeply. They do not want to interfere in their affairs at all.

***

About two hours later.

“I did not expect that your life is so luxurious even in this chaotic world, Mr. Ark.”

After drinking water and eating fruit, sitting relaxed while enjoying the day made Dedric feel surprised. Absolutely do not expect that living in the era of apocalypse can be as easy and relaxing.

Not only Cedric, Ian was also amazed by the Sword of Sufferings. As newcomers, they can make a clean and comfortable place to live. Not at all jumbled and dirty, full of sweaty smell or anything like that.

All rooms are well used. Public space is also clean and comfortable. Dirt, garbage, and such are thrown away where they should be and are not a source of odor.

Not to mention, Ark is a pharmacist. The young man had concocted a special powder made from various herbs dried, ground into powder, and mixed with a certain ratio.

The powder was spread around the mansion. Not only does the aroma around the mansion become refreshing, but it also eliminates the smell of fungi and keeps away insects.

Makes them feel like they live in an old mansion in a fairyland. Not an apocalypse world filled with terror and chaos.

“I just slightly improved the quality of life of the Sword of Sufferings member, Mr. Dedric. This way, all members can practice with focus and rest comfortably.”

“You are right, Mr. Ark. By the way, is the powder you mean also sold?”

“Of course for sale, Mr Dedric. Except for a few special potions or weapons, almost everything belonging to the Sword of Sufferings was sold. What I mean does not include its members because we do not do human trafficking.”

“Almost all can be purchased according to the price,” muttered Dedric with an expression of amazement.

“I just feel that you guys are amazing. Not only are you strong, but you can also make a lot of great things. What an exemplary strong group.”

“You praised us too much, Mr Dedric.”

Dedric simply smiled without saying a word. He could not reveal everything, but his visit this time had indeed opened the eyes of the man.

Just then, the sound of birds chirping sounded from the sky.

Hearing the chirp, Ark's smile faded. He glanced at Roxanne then said.

“Gather everyone. Let them prepare as soon as possible. It seems that today is a good day, guest after guest came to our Sword of Sufferings headquarters.”

“Good, Chairman!”

Roxanne saluted and then turned away.

After a while, the soldiers who were training or resting immediately returned to their respective rooms.

Not waiting for long, one by one the black-robed men and carrying the sword on the left side of their waists came out from the room.

They immediately went to the front yard and made a neat row without having to wait for cues from their leader.

Looking at such a scene, Dedric, Ian, and the other members of the Blade of Areia looked perplexed.

Just then, Ark's voice rang out in Dedric and Ian's ears.

“It seems you guys came at the right time.” Ark tilted his head. “Maybe.”

“You mean, Mr Ark?”

“No specific intent. It's just that, this time visitors are more fierce and rude than before. Their number ... seems also very much.”

Hearing Ark's explanation, Dedric became even more nervous. Just then, Ark gestured.

“If you do not want to get involved, please invite your colleagues to hide in the reception room. However, there will be someone watching you, so do not make suspicious movements if you do not want to be hurt.

Please arrange this guest and bring 20 guards to watch him.”

“Ya, Chairman!” reply to the soldier that Ark stopped.

Ark himself directly walked away towards the front yard. He still wore casual and incomplete clothes. There was only one sword on the left side of the waist just in case.

“Everyone, we will soon have guests. Straight away, divide the ranks into four groups and go to defend the four cardinal directions.

Just do it like exercise. Just do it as in practice, and reinforcements will come to help when it is needed.

Of course, I believe you guys have been more than enough to stop and wipe out those enemies, right?”

“YA, CHIEF! WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!”

All the proud warriors instantly answered the spice with confidence.

“Then ... troops are disbanded! Go to each other's guard now!”

“YA, CHIEF!!”

The soldiers immediately rushed towards their respective places neatly. There is no rush at all, but do everything quickly and in a well-ordered manner.

Meanwhile, Roxanne who had changed her clothes came to the side of the Ark with the members of Golden Rose following her. They simply lined up behind the young man while waiting for instructions calmly.

Ark himself looked towards the distance without saying a word.

Only, Roxanne saw the change in Ark's face.

On the handsome young man's face, there was a smile. Not just any smile, but a dangerous smile that shows satisfaction because everything has gone according to his plan.
