"Scary…" I muttered.
…
(Orion POV)
Long story short, the kids were no match for us, especially when we started using weapons, and I don't think they'll be accepting the results any ti soon.
That's not my problem, though…
"I'll be off. Need to do so things until the night cos… In fact, I might not even be able to co until tomorrow morning. Just know that I'm safe," I said as I had already packed up the stuff and was walking towards the exit.
Today, I had a few etings with so of the family mbers that I've been trying to keep a good relationship with… and one of them was the Bonebloom family.
They were very useful, especially since they were part of the Council of Roses, which gave even more connections.
After a few hours of walking down the barren but slightly populated street, I arrived at a new cafe with an actual attendee.
"Who's that?" I asked before sitting across from Or.
"Just a simple bartender. He'll be making drinks for us whenever we need them," Or replied while stirring his dark green drink.
"That's nice of them…." I muttered before Or sat back in his chair and eyed with a suspicious look.
"I'm gonna give it straight to you… Did you betray us?" Or asked, and the pressure he suddenly emitted was on par with sobody like Bella or Cy.
Obviously, it was enhanced by his rage, but it was still impressive nonetheless.
"What makes you say that?" I asked, already keeping my composure as I had already expected this to happen.
It just happened a bit earlier than I anticipated… and this won't be the only encounter I'll have with this question.
There were also the eyes of the bartender, who was on par with a high C-rank, but he kept his pressure and bloodlust in, hiding them like a pair of fangs.
"I had so of my shadows follow you. Forgive if that was disrespectful, but I needed to know if you were actually loyal… and it seems you weren't," He replied, and this serious aura was sothing I hadn't seen from him ever.
"You must be mistaken… when was I ever loyal to your family?"
As soon as I asked that question, a red hot arrow whizzed past my face, and I just barely managed to dodge it while only receiving a small scrape on my nose.
"Stop… That is correct, you were never loyal, but sleeping and conversing with another family could practically be seen as treason. So tell , what was your reason for being there as you dared to co to have a eting with … as I'm sure you already expected to ask this question,"
My eyes widened a bit as I didn't expect Or to be able to actually figure that out… but I guess these rich kids do have so talent in things other than fighting.
"You're good… Okay, well, I was there because I was trying to obtain as much information on our enemies as possible. Also, do you really think I would betray you guys to a family that is being targeted by five others?"
"That's what I thought, so I just wanted to confirm it. It's good that we're still on the sa page, but make sure not to get caught…."
"But if they do catch , I'll just say I was gathering information on your family," I said with a giant smile that caused Or to visibly shiver.
"It was a mistake working with you… but I've already fallen too deep. You know too much, so it's best to keep you close… was this also part of your plan?" Or asked, and I just gave him the silent treatnt as I continued to smile all the way until he sighed heavily.
"Sir, he wasn't lying," The bartender said as he suddenly appeared beside us, ready to take new orders.
"I know. I'm sure he already knew you had that skill also… Alright, let's just enjoy this fine afternoon with so nice food and drinks," He said, and all of a sudden, a few guys rose out of the shadows… with cooking apparel on.
I didn't even sense them, aning they're at least low B-rank or possibly just regular B-rank.
"Sorry, but I can't stay long. Have other people to et with,"
"That's fine. I'm sure you're a busy man. That's why we're just going to have so light snacks,"
Soon, a full course al ca out… and I didn't reject any of it.
…
The next day, I finally ca back and hit the sack, imdiately falling asleep in the embrace of my angelic sheets and pillows.
But, I only got to sleep for a few hours as we soon had to depart for sothing.
Myself, Bella, Cy, Findir, and Aisa were all going to a place entirely across the city… where buildings had been flattened, trenches had been built, and everlasting fire raged in between the two sides.
"Are you sure you want to proceed with this? Do you really think you can stop it from going into an all-out war?" The Wony head asked , and with full confidence and eyes blazing with determination, I replied,
"Of course,"
But… that's a lie.
That's right. I got the Wony head to find a battlefield for us to partake in, and from what I heard… there are ten thousand souls I can claim.
I tried to hide my thirst for blood under the guise of stopping the war and improving the minds of my close friends.
I doubt any of them have killed a human before, so I guess this was good for them… but it was mainly to sate my own thirst for blood.
It has expanded and dripped with more intensity ever since I got this new spear, but thankfully, it isn't so bad that I will go crazy and rip apart my friends… but I'm sure it could evolve into that later on if I don't sate it now.
