The Return of the White Skull Princess

Chapter 7: The Backbone Company

The ten matches held in the Colosseum were over, the spectators started to leave the place. A variety of reactions are shown by those who have bet on the game.

Some are disappointed because they lost money and others….

“Ceria ceria...huwahahah.”.

Olivia was so happy after winning six bets. The saliva that flooded the mouth dripped out upon seeing the golden-coloured master card he had obtained after swapping out all the vocers.

[Olivia: may I beat up this brash author!]

After feeling calm Olivia then took Kirana to the club to celebrate their victory.

He still forgot about his girlfriend who was somehow unknown at this time of his existence.

But when she enters the club, Olivia sees her lover making out with another woman kissing.

***

Bloody Gear club.

Follows the music of a man in a dance while occasionally teasing women who participate in dancing with him.

“Hey miss can I buy you a glass of city tea?” he said, but suddenly a man came and immediately intended to beat him.

“What are you trying to do b4jatan, don't tease my girlfriend.”

“Oh I think he's alone, I'm sorry then.”

The first mission to ask a girl out is a failure.

Looking for the next target the man saw three women who were sitting in front of the bartender. His eyes were drawn to the woman on the far left. Before launching the action, the man made sure that the woman he wanted to flirt with was not with her lover.

“Wokeh... It looks like he's alone.” he started to approach the woman.

“Hay beautiful, want to drink a glass..” the man's words stopped when he saw the woman or so he thought was chugging a bottle of drink.

“......” the man instantly froze when he saw the face of the woman he was after turned out to be so abstract.

A baam! The woman slammed a bottle of drink onto the table, “Oh my oh my, I am so flattered spelled beautiful by a handsome man like you.”

The man immediately vomited blood when he heard a voice from a woman who looked very sexy from behind but looked like a repairman whose face was spilled by oil when viewed from the front. The woman's voice sounded like a middle-aged man who had smoked for many years.

“Um...sorry I was wrong!.” the man tried to escape, but the big arm of the w4ria reached his neck.

“No this is not a mistake, the god of love must have deliberately brought us together.” whispered w4ria from behind. Because it is so close that the man can feel every breath of the w4ria.

“Hieeeee...” the man's foot instantly limp from being so frightened.

‘Someone I beg congratulations me.’ inner man. His face grew pale as the w4ria tried to kiss his lips.

Fortunately, his life was saved.

“BRAYEN!.”

THE PLAAAK!

The voice of a woman's cry was heard followed by the sound of a loud slap.

Olivia, who invites Kirana to drink, finds her boyfriend making out with someone who is difficult to distinguish whether it is a woman or a man.

“Oliv.... I love you!.” even though his cheek bears the slap of Olivia, at all the man named Brayen is not angry, but he feels his life has been settled Olivia.

Brayen all ran towards Olivia after escaping war1a's embrace, but when she wanted to hug her boyfriend...

A blow from Olivia hit the man's face.

“Heng! You playboy guy, you deliberately left me to be able to make out with other women.” Olivia's eyes glazed with tears that almost spilled.

“Wait for Oliv, you misunderstood.” with blood running down his nose, Brayen tried to give an explanation.

“I don't even remember Why I'm here.” he said confusedly.

Brayen said he suddenly woke up in the toilet with no memory of what he had done.

“Alasaaan... You must be drunk so forget me!.” Olivia is still angry.

The discussion between the lovers was quite long. Olivia is angry about leaving him alone, while Brayen is worried that his girlfriend is spending all her money on gambling.

“How much did you spend!.” asked Brayen in a panic. Hearing that Olivia showed a big smile.

“Why are you talking like that, as if I am bad at gambling.”

“Ya but indeed the reality is like that.” Brayen reply got support from Kirana who since just saw both of them while drinking.

Feeling underestimated by her own lover, Olivia also shows Mastercard the gold she got.

“No... impossible, this must be just a dream.” Brayen stared in disbelief.

“Hemp, I told you if betting in a match will be easy.” women forget if without the help of Kirana then she has been bankrupt.

***

After the debate the couple finished Olivia introduced Kirana to her lover.

“You must have helped me Olivia, I owe you a lot, because if this woman were to be left alone maybe all the guild money would be spent.”, Brayen said, it seemed like she was really bothered by her lover's gambling addiction.

“It was nothing.” reply Kirana briefly.

The three ended up drinking together while talking about many things.

“So you are a member of the newly established mercenary guild, so?.” with a reddened face from drunken Brayen spoke.

“Yeah, I'm looking at market conditions in this area.” reply Kirana.

“It... will be difficult..” Olivia's turn to speak, she is no longer strong to drink after spending three glasses put her head on the table.

“There are already many mercenary guilds that control this area. New guilds will be difficult to develop due to tough competition.” he added.

Although this woman was bad at gambling but she was the overseer of the Dark Phoenix guild which made her know a lot of information around the guild.

“Really? But I still have confidence if this area will be a good ‘ladap’ for guild development.”

The Mercenary Guild (mercenary army) was a guild that offered assistance to other guilds, the strength of the guild members.

Often a guild runs into trouble when they are on a mission, for example the Monster they have to defeat is too strong. Because the guild's strength was not enough while the mission had to be completed as soon as possible the guild had no choice but to borrow power from outside.

But the problem is that each guild usually competes with each other, they are always hostile for various usual reasons about the seizure of territory and monster hunting areas. Because of those various problems there was no way a guild would help each other.

Then that was where the role of the mercenary guild was needed. Mercenary guilds usually had no territory of their own so they were neutral in the fight for territory between guilds.

“We not only offer the strength of guild members but we also sell products such as weapon equipment and various potions.” said Kirana offers something that she does not currently have.

‘I'm not cheating you know! With my power I can create all of that in a few days.’ thought.

“Hahaha... Yes I can see you are ready to jump in this business.” Brayen replied.

Kirana immediately gave the man a card with a skull symbol.

“Backbone Company? Never heard of it before.”

“Surely because we have just surfaced.” Kirana's mysterious attitude makes Brayen feel so curious.

As a Dark Phoenix guild elder his strength would no longer need to be maintained. With the ability he has Brayen can feel the strength of his opponent easily, but when dealing with a woman named Kirana. Brayen felt like he was looking at a bottomless abyss.

It feels terrible when you look down and it's so scary when the abyss stares back at your collar.
