BACKING
Chapter 5: The Witch Among the Knights



Nah! Nah! Nah!


Xyna followed Eroz from behind. After yesterday they agreed on the agreement, the current two of them left to fulfill one of the conditions. A basic condition that Eroz gave to the new members was...


Being "Strong".


Bugs!


Eroz suddenly stopped and made Xyna face hit her back. The girl held onto her nose which felt crooked after hitting the muscle mass.


"Use your eyes Miss." said Eroz coldly.


He walked back and left Xyna behind him. Xyna was clearly bothered by the man's change in attitude.


"Yesterday humble is now cold. Does he have a soul mute?" ask Xyna before going back to Eroz.


Xyna continued to follow Eroz to the backyard. The girl immediately bowed in embarrassment when she saw many people in black jackets gathered there.


"Eh, he's come." whispered the crowd.


Those who had originally been sitting relaxed instantly stood upright when Eroz entered the courtyard. The person immediately lined up neatly to give way to the chairman.


Eroz riding table available. He looked at all his members from above with a cold glare.


"Give me an explanation."


The three words successfully made the atmosphere tense. Everyone in that place was sweating coldly except for Xyna. Xyna glanced at her left right because she did not know what was being discussed here.


"It's our negligence, brother! Forgive us!" a man arrived.


"Silent Caro. What I'm asking here isn't you." press Eroz intimidatingly.


"Ta-But..."


"Be quiet Caro, Eroz didn't tell you to talk!" another cut of the sound made Caro mute.


From behind the crowd, a woman walked up to Eroz. The woman had long black hair in a ponytail tie with a tight black shirt and trousers. His face was flat with a burning gaze. In Xyna's eyes, women look really cool like Witches.


"Let me explain, Eroz. It's my fault." said the woman with a regretful face. His confession made Eroz get off the table and approach him.


Plaque!!!


Brazenly stale Eroz slapped him hard. Eroz doesn't care if he's a man or a woman and only sees his mistakes.


"What do you think of that bastard?"


"Acknowledging mistakes. It's my fault for letting Sano go."


"Where is your team? I'm not assigning you alone, Liza. Are you the only one who dares to admit your mistake?"


"No, Eroz. Me and my team were wrong. And they're making amends for it." he explained, looking Eroz in the eye. "Skalev and the others are trying to make amends. They won't be back before they get something."


“I didn't tell you to do that. Are you guys starting to rebel and want to betray me?” tanya Eroz is full of pressure.


“No, We..”.


“Shut!”


Liza looked up to hear it. The woman released her eye contact and then bowed. Eroz turned away from Liza and approached Caro who was there.


“Go and arrest Skalev and his accomplice here. Your time limit is only three days or I will stop your father's treatment costs.” Eroz's decree frightened Caro.


“A- I understand.” said Caro then went with his team.


“You can't race for 2 months. Now go and take the girl with you.” Eroz said as he pointed at Xyna. “Train him into a true Night Knight. Give him a job and always keep an eye on him. Do you understand?”


Liza looked at Xyna for a moment. Although her heart was in doubt, the woman finally nodded her head.


“Ya, I understand.”


@@@


Xyna follows Liza to a Cafe. After ordering two Ice Cappucinos, Liza looked at Xyna from head to toe. The woman was somewhat astonished to see Xyna's tacky and childlike look from a kindly good family.


“I Liza. What's your name?” asked Liza while looking at the worn out Xyna shoes.


“Xyrena. Pa-Call me Xyna.” replied Xyna nervously. The girl was a little timid due to their contrasting appearance differences.


To be honest, Xyna is not actually inferior or afraid of Liza. He really admired her because it was so similar to his favorite novel character. Badass, Tough and Brave so clearly emanated from Liza. If you could scream, Xyna would have gone crazy for finding her favorite character in the real world.


“Why are you smiling?” tanya Liza doesn't seem to like it.


Besides because they do not know each other, Liza is also suspicious because of the appearance of Xyna who arrived.


“Who is he? Why did Eroz recruit her? Eroz will not recruit ordinary people into the Night Knight unless he is special.” Liza said in her heart.


Shortly after, their orders arrived. After sipping his ice coffee, Liza began her first lesson.


“I heard you were from the far east. Do you know Moscow?”


“Not yet. I just arrived yesterday and don't know much about Moscow.”


“Oh so.” said Liza trying to look ordinary. “Then did you know with Third Cycles?”


“Third Cykle?” xyna doesn't speak English.


“Third Cycles. It was a designation for the 3 biggest motorcycle gangs in Moscow.” explained Liza then sipped another drink. “Remember 3 it's good good good, New Boy. The Light the Angel, Hidden Clown the Human and Night Knight the Devil.”


“What? Why Nikg Kned the Devil?”


“Night Knigth, Stupid.” says Liza is getting upset. “I don't like to explain it at length. You just remember the three vocabulary words because each vocabulary reflects the shape of the Motor Gang. Do you understand?”


“Ya...” says Xyna is a bit hesitant.


“Good. Now remember these 3 things again. North is Heaven, Southwest is Village and South is Abyys.”


“Abyss? Why not hell?”


“Do you want to stay in hell?” tanya Liza made Xyna shake loudly.


It made Liza sigh long because she did not think out with this girl in front of her. He is above the limits of stupidity.


“Already, now do you understand?” asked Liza while massaging her temple.


“Ya.”


“Good. Now the theory is complete. Remember to always be in the region and not come out unless there is an urgent need.” said Liza then graze again Ice Cappucinonya.


“Ergent need? Why does it have to be like that? Doesn't Moscow belong to everyone?"


That question made Liza twist her chin. He put down his drink and looked at Xyna sharply.


"Not much to ask. Now you're a member of the Night Knight. These are our rules, our Life and Our Path. If you don't want to obey him, just get out of here!"
