"I thought that was the expression normally used to make workers stay silent in this world, I suppose I used it in the wrong context. Now, focus on the road unless you want to pop your head like a balloon. I have no interest in hearing you scream at for the next hour, so stay silent."
"Uek…"
The woman imdiately shut up as she realized that she had gone too far. She still rembered how she got roped into this in the first place. She and her partner were patrolling the street late at night, trying to make sure that the area was safe, but all of a sudden, they saw this huge man walking out from one of the hotels in the area.
They would have ignored it and continued moving, if not for the fact that there were so specks of blood on his feet and face.
The woman and her partner imdiately ca down from the car and pointed a gun at the Herculean man, warning him not to move forward and commanding him to get down on his knees slowly. But the man just kept walking towards them. The woman's partner finally grew cautious enough and shot at the man, but the way the bullet bounced off the man's skin was not even funny!
It was almost comical and if not for how serious the situation was, she would have started laughing her ass off right there!
The herculean man stared down at his chest curiously and just kept walking towards her partner. Her partner called for her help as he began to unload his bullets and she began to shoot at the man as well. But no matter how many bullets they shot, it was futile. They weren't even making a dent in the man's stride. It was as if he was being hit with popcorn kernels rather than bullets!
The man grabbed her partner's head and slamd it into the car and she was sure she heard sothing crack inside of his head as he slumped to the ground like a rag doll. The man then told her to get into the car with a glare and she obeyed faster than she had ever obeyed an order in her life!
The man got in the back and commanded her to take him to Tokyo Bay and that was how they ended up on the road together.
A policewoman driving a criminal around like a chauffeur. If she gets out of this alive, she is never going to live it down.
She has been trying to keep the man talking for so ti now and she was able to find out that he was a part of so super-secret ga that involved so other superpowered beings like himself. They were all having a eting and he decided to go because he felt like it.
"You know –"
The woman was about to speak again, but the man just groaned in irritation. Content source m-vl|em|p,yr
"By Zeus, can you not stay silent even for a mont?"
"…"
The woman imdiately shut up and the man leaned back with a grunt.
"Much better."
The man looked out the window at his side from the back of the speeding car and he appreciated the lights that were zooming past him. They were moving so fast that he could barely catch a glimpse of them, but he had never felt more alive than he did at that mont.
So this is what it feels like to be alive again?
…
Tokyo Bay was a stunning picturesque view of water, isolated from the Pacific Ocean on one side and bordered on the other side by Chiba and Yokohama.
rlin couldn't help but appreciate the beautiful view of the city lights below him as he stood on top of the miniature Statue of Liberty at the base of the bay. rlin couldn't believe that they were doing this.
He didn't really have anything against it anymore since he was sure that Mark and Luna would be fine, but it was absurd to think that they were just going to have a drink with one of their opponents like it was nothing. There had to be so sort of rule against this.
rlin watched Mark and Luna entering the do-shaped building a short distance away and he twirled his staff and stabbed it into the statue below him before leaning on it calmly. He would watch and see how things go for now. If anything seed off, he was dropping an asteroid on the building regardless.
…
Mark and Luna entered the do and Luna was imdiately stunned by the beautiful interior of the building. It had an extrely high ceiling with beautiful lights shining across the entire ceiling like stars. There was a large chandelier hanging from the roof's center and it layered the surrounding in a stunning yellow glow that made it look like the sun was setting inside the building.
In the middle of the room was a table with a man sitting there. There were no chairs, so the man was sitting on one of the five cushions around the table. A woman was kneeling beside the man. She was wearing traditional Japanese attire with a weird pair of wooden sandals on her feet while pouring him a cup of green tea calmly.
The outfit that the woman wore was the traditional outfit that all Japanese housewives would wear during the Edo period of Japanese samurais, but neither Luna nor Mark could tell.
The man himself was just as imposing as Luna expected a SERVANT to be. He was a large man, almost as tall as Mark, but his build was completely different from Mark's build. Mark had the build of a brawler, but Luna could tell that this man was soone who used weapons because of his slim build.
He had long black hair that was tied behind his head with a few stubborn strands scattered around aimlessly and he wore a long kimono that made him look very regal. If Luna had to guess what sort of person this was, she would imdiately say that it was a samurai. But Luna couldn't see a Katana anywhere, so she was left wondering if this was the knight or not.
The man took his cup after the maid finished pouring him a drink and he took a sip from it before sighing happily.
"I did not think you would honor my invitation."
The man finally spoke up and Luna was shocked when she realized that he was not speaking English. He spoke in so other language, but his language was sohow translated inside of her head and she could understand what he was saying without needing to do anything. From the way they were dressed and how he carried himself, Luna knew that the man was speaking Japanese.
Was this sothing that the ga did for them?
Mark was still wearing the Hawaiian shirt and joggers that he had on this morning. He put his gloved hands inside of his pockets and responded calmly while walking towards the man.
"Your invitation seed rather interesting. Do you have anything stronger?"
Luna imdiately gave Mark a disapproving look. He was still underage, so she was not in support of him drinking yet. Mark just ignored her as he stopped at the table, in front of the man.
The man smiled as he looked up at Mark.
"I am honored to host you, servant pawn and master of pawn. Won't you sit?"
