“I am already too tired with dealing with the bear, now what?”

“Hey kids? What are you doing?”

“Hey old man Nagoya, let me ask you.”

“Huh? Ask what? If it’s not too important just ask me later, we still need to collect the loots.”

After answering Drake’s question, he turn around and walk away.

“Do you know Bill Wolford of the Rygon Village in the Luna Empire?”

“!!!!”, “Huh? What Village? Bill who? I don’t know that, scram kid! We’re busy now!”

Nagoya continued to walk away as if nothing he heard bothers him.

=Nagoya POV=

I remember correctly, it was 12 years ago when that tragedy happened. My father was engaged in a war with other guild. At that time, it was the peak and shining time of our Red Blade Crew. We have many elites and rankers with have different division and guilds who’s under our banner. It sparked from just a misunderstanding.

My father’s men accidentally entered another guild’s territory in large crowd while chasing a B Rank Mythical Beast, the territory owner took it for an invasion.

“Guild master! We spot a large crowd running wild on our territory it seems to be the Red Blade Crew bastards!”

NAME Chen Bach Essense Rank Martial Stage - Kyu Level - 2nd Kyu Battle Power Executive Rank Low Ranker #987,120 Squad Black Sword - Captain

“WHAT?!”

“Those filthy Red Blades dare to step foot in my territory as if I’m not existing?!”

“Order everyone to prepare, we will give those bastard a birthday present! Today their birthday will be moved at November!”

The Black Sword guild marched with all their forces towards the Red Blade Crew’s location, arms ready.

While the Red Blade Crew’s main forces are in chase with the Mythical Beast, some of their men in the rear spotted the Black Swords men fully equipped and heading towards their location. The crew sent one of the men in standby in the rear to head forth and inform the Captain immediately.

“Captain! There’s a problem!”

“What problem is it that is more important than chasing that fucking Mythical Beast!”

NAME Hiroto Sato Essense Rank Foundation Stage - Destruction Level Battle Power Experienced Rank Low Ranker #997,895 Squad Red Blade Crew - Captain

“What! Why now of all times! That is indeed a problem!”

“Everyone fall back! Forget about that damn beast! We have a big trouble at hand!”

“What’s the problem boss? Letting that beast is a huge loss for us.”

NAME Makoto Tanaka Essense Rank Foundation Stage - Destruction Level Battle Power Experienced Rank Low Ranker #998,275 Squad Red Blade Crew - Vice-Captain

“Those Black Sword chipmunks are on us.”

“Huh? Black Sword? Is it Black Sword of Chen Bach? Aren’t you a friend of him boss?”

“Yeah! But that Chen Cherenchen Alibangbang is so cunning! It might not be good to provoke him.”

“That Chen bastard is really cunning and territorial! There’s no reason that can get through him. He’s just a fucking bastard with no sense of reason! I just hope that this time I can reason with him” Hiroto talking to himself.

At that time my Father knew that there’s a large possibility of war rather than making up and compensating. He knew from the past that the old man Chen is strong, tyrant and territory obsessed.

A few minutes later.

Red Blade Crew and Black Sword has come face to face. Both sides are on guard. Swords, Wands, and Spears are ready for a battle that might engaged any second. Red Blade Crew who are blood and sweat after continuously fighting and chasing the Mythical Beast for a couple of days and the Black Sword who is all buffed and fresh like a sea stones who just washed ashore.

“Old man Chen, why do this?”

“Ha?! What do you mean young’un?! You barged in my territory full force and you askin’ me why do this? Are you fucking with me kid?!”

“No no no, of course not Old Chen, It’s not what you think it is! You see my men are blood and sweat, we won’t dare initiate an attack with this state right no?”

“Hmm?”

Chen Bach glanced at the sorry state of the Red Blade Crew and think that he might be wrong of accusing Hiroto immediately.

“Then why are you in my territory, you do realize that you are invading right?”

“The truth is we are chasing a B Rank Mythical Beast for couple of days now, we constantly fight and chase this dam beast for a while now and still now able to subjugate it.”

“Hooh? Hiroto Sato and the Red Blade Crew with a thousand men under his flag with houndreds of Ranker can’t subjugate a mere B Rank Beast? Do you think I would buy that alibi? Are you taking me for a fool brat?!” Chen Bach responded to Hiroto Sato’s statement and released a terrifying murderous aura that he accumulated with his lifetime experienced.

“Fuck this old man, his murderous aura is suffocating me!”

“I know it’s embarrassing but his is not an ordinary B Rank Mythical Beast. It’s a Black Lightning Cheetah who’s at the peak of B Rank”

“A Black Lightning Cheetah huh? If that’s the case then these little brats might really be have a hard time. Black Lightning Cheetah is famous for their astounding speed and agility that even a C rank Black Lightning Cheetah can compare at a peak A Rank Mythical Beast. At these dense forest where there is a lot of obstacle it’s advantageous for the cheetah to lure and lose them. These guys can just quit, they can’t even kill it might as well subjugate it.”

“A Black Lightning Cheetah ha? Then that could be true.”

“Captain our men have spotted a wounded Black Lightning Cheetah at the forest it seems like that Cheetah is the one they are chasing, might as well use this as a bargaining chip.” One of Chen Bach’s men whispering him.

“Ho? Then tell me how.” Chen Bach replied to his men with a malicious smile.

“Remember those bastards from the Rygon Village? We can give them the Cheetah and this Red Blade Crew deal with those country bumpkins. Hehehe”

“!!!!” Chen Bach smile spitefully.

“I have a proposal for you Hiroto kid. You want to hear it? Well it’s not like you can’t leave here alive if you’re not! Hehehe!”

“Hoh? Is that a treat old man!”

Upon hearing what Father said, the Red Blade Crew become aggressive and war ready. Unsheathing their blades and pointing their swords. Archers Aimed and Mages are ready to cast destructive spells. But Hiroto signaled them to stay down.

“Then let’s hear this proposal of your Old Chen.”

“It’s nothing fancy kid, there’s someone who being a torn in my side and refusing to bow to me, I need someone to deal with it, since I’m benevolent I’ll reward whoever do it with a Black Lightning Cheetah who’s at the peak of B Rank and evolving at A Rank anytime soon. It’s not really fresh, it has some bruises here and there but it’s really not that big of a deal”

“Fuck this old man! He’s really pushing me to the end!”

“Who’s this bothering you?”

“Nothing big shot, just some Village Head of some small Village, I think his name is Bart Wolford. HAHAHAHAHA” Chen Bach laughed loudly and maliciously as he know of Bart Wolford and Hiroto Sato’s relationship.

“!!!!!!!”, “Hey Old Chen you’re not funny at all, you do know that Bart Wolford is my sworn brother, right?!” Hiroto Sato

“Yeah I know, that’s why I offer this, you know he’s been a thorn for me, but luck has not forsaken me, the solution present itself! Whallaaa! You came at the right time!”

“You cunning bastard!”

“HAHAHAHAHAHA, Do your best Red Blade Crew Captain Hiroto Sato!”

After saying taunting phrase Chen Bach and his Black Sword without saying anymore leaving my Father in confusion. He knows that Bart Wolford is his sworn brother but the Black Lightning Cheetah is crucial for his breakthrough to Martial Stage. He’s in difficult state, choosing between the life of his friend or his own life. Though Chen Bach has already retreated he knows that he’s men are still there lurking and watching his actions, and if does not comply he will surely be dead.

Father and the Red Blade Crew retreated to their base which is only under a kilometer far from the Rygon Village. After some time, my Father decided to comply to Chen Bach’s proposal and after that what happened, happened. And I was there to witness it personally and can be considered as compliance.

= Okay enough of this throwback shit, back to you kuys! =

“Hey you bastard! I ask you a damn question!”

“I said I don’t know. Are you deaf or just brainless?”

“Seriously, you dipshits are bothering my job, Did I recruit some braindead twerps? Ahhh, what a hassle!”

At that moment, I knew that Captain Nagoya is saying those stuffs to purposely avoid the questions of Drake. I knew that Captain Nagoya knew something was wrong, isn’t he supposed to admit what they did and try to kill Drake, that’s what suppose a villain would do? Or I just read too much novel back at the house? I don’t know I’ll just observe for now.

“Fuck your job! I’m going to kill you and avenge my Father!”

Drake attacked Nagoya with his two dagger while Nagoya is facing the opposite direction. But Nagoya managed to dodge it, but not completely, he receive a small cut on his upper right arm. Nagoya dropped his daggers and unsheathe his sword and swing it sideways, this time Nagoya didn’t manage to dodge it at time and receive a heavy damage and have a large cut on his stomach.

“You fucking bastard!!! I’m going to kill you today just like how we slaughter your Father before!”

Upon hearing Nagoya’s words Drake started to lose composure and been overrun by his rage and thirst for vengeance. He swung his sword recklessly like a madman with no mind. Just when I enjoy the show I noticed something.

“!!!!!”, “Someone is here watching? Who are they?”

I look everywhere and try to find who are watching, I can’t quite figure who are they, their location changes almost every instant and it confuses me, Who are they? Are they some powerhouse? If so, what are they doing here?
