During this ti, Acht and Lein had already returned to Evernight. The journey was as quiet as before and both of them didn't even bother to walk side by side.
Even though they found sothing in common between them that only they knew of, both of them knew that that doesn't an that they can beco friends and forget the past.
Especially Acht, he will never forgive Nightingale for what they did to him and he was already having the thought of killing them at so point in the future when he was strong enough.
As for Lein, she did feel grateful for him that he saved her but that's it. They will keep a fair distance between them and treat each other as if they don't exist except when they are on missions.
When they reached the 'lody Of Dreams Bar', they found the six mbers of Nightingale there sitting silently.
The atmosphere was quite heavy and the tension was very high so Acht was able to see that sothing wrong happened.
Lein also felt that but she figured ignorance as she walked to Lenny and said.
"We got the Soul Lapis stones. It was a fucking hectic mission."
Lenny looked at her and nodded his head.
"I see. Did you fight a sea king fish?"
"That fucker was a goddamn nightmare. I never want to see another one of those in my life. I will go sleep." She replied as she scratched the back of her head.
"No, we have a matter to discuss. Sit down."
"Sigh, what is it now?" She asked tiredly before sitting down.
As for Acht, he just dumped out all the Soul Lapis stones before walking away to the backroom.
"Wait, Acht," Lenny said.
The boy stopped walking and peeked at him.
"What?"
"This matter is linked to you. You might wanna hear this." The old man said with a calm tone.
'Related to ? Now, this sounds like so big trouble.' He thought.
Without much else to do, he also took a seat and waited for the old man to speak.
Instead, what he did was click on the controller and turned the TV on.
There, Acht saw the news channel and next to the reporter and the other invited people, he saw a picture of himself.
His eyes widened slightly but he wasn't too shocked.
Lenny waited for a few seconds for Acht to digest what he saw before he asked.
"What do you think?"
However, before the boy could even answer, Weltz stood up and looked at Lenny.
"I will tell you what I think. This piece of shit just dragged us with him into an unnecessary fucking problem!!" He shouted with an angry glare.
He then looked at Acht and said.
"You! I never accepted you and now I was fucking right! You are a spy or sothing huh!!"
His aura unleashed and he pressured Acht with it.
But, instead of getting Acht to fall down, wiggling and whimpering while getting suffocated, he just sat there calmly, unbothered by the man as if he didn't exist.
"You fucker!!! I will kill you and get rid of this problem!"
"Calm down, Weltz," Jack said as he tried to stop this ss. He walked up to him and tried to grab his shoulder.
But, Weltz imdiately yanked his arm away and glared at Jack.
"Leave the fuck alone!! I will kill this trash and get disposed of him before the fuckers from the hunter association co looking for him."
Then, like a mad bull, he rushed toward Acht who readied himself to defend against the coming attack.
However, much to his surprise, the mont Weltz was a few steps away from his target, he was suddenly sent flying and smashed against the wall roughly.
The wall seed to be sturdy as it didn't break because of the hit.
Silence.
Everyone looked at the scene and couldn't even co up with words to say.
Even Acht felt a chill down his spine as he turned his head around rigidly toward the old man that was sitting calmly in his chair as if nothing happened.
'He did it again. How is that even possible?' He thought to himself.
There was literally no movent that happened before Weltz was sent away like that. No movent, no aura, and not even a small amount of soul force ca from the old man. It was as if he didn't do anything…or to be more precise, he did sothing that none of the people present could see.
"Kin put Weltz in his room and co back here." He suddenly spoke to the doll-like woman with the huge hamr on her back.
Kin then walked to Weltz and yanked him up before putting him on her shoulder and walking away as if she was carrying a sack of potatoes.
"Now that the problem is solved, Let's talk calmly. It seems Acht has been exposed as our new mber by the hunter association. He also has a 10000 gold coin bounty on his head."
He then took a deep breath before continuing.
"However, he is not to be blad in this matter. Soone had leaked this information to the people and now it's a worldwide hot topic."
The first to talk was the man that Acht still didn't know his na. He didn't have the chance to know it.
"The hunter association is just bluffing. Even if they put a bounty hunter on his head, just the fact that he joined us makes him a very dangerous being that most hunters don't want to ss with. Wise hunters that is."
Jack nodded his head in agreent.
"I agree with Torn, everyone knows who Nightingale is. If they are not crazy enough to gamble with their lives, no one will try to search for him."
Lenny listened carefully to their opinions but he still shook his head.
"Don't underestimate them. The hunter association finally found a lead that could make them reach us and it's a very strong lead. Sooner or later, they will try with all their might to catch us one by one. That's why…"
He glared at the TV with a very emotionless look and said.
"We must destroy them."
