Lefty's POV
Some folks wear a smile and it meant a smile, but this guy was something else. Everything about him was a soft and understated. I once happened to see him dancing in glee while he bashed a man's head with a smile before he asked if we were there for coffee. I Mean we all worry if we would end up as all those other people who were patients in his "surgery" as he asked us about our day.
Joss suddenly seemed irritated, [what you are saying is that, this is still going on? Lebanan Valley fell in the hands of Ordis. Now They cut off our source of blue dust from the Capital]
[Yes]
His brows furrowed, [This current war will decide the Overlord of The Underworld. Lefty...]
[Sir]
[We need to set aside everything and focus on this war!] Joss said as his eyes flashed with coldness, [Luckily, this "Devil" is on a rampage so they can't bring most of their elites but we can]
I quickly Added, [It won't be enough Boss, Lebanan Valley is bound to have a large force defending it. If we rush to attack, Most of our brothers won't make it out alive. And even if we won by sheer luck, we will be at a disadvantage in the war. we need to find allies!]
[Allies??...] He asked before cackling.[Diana!, allies he said!!hahahahaha]
This continued while he held his stomach, soon he wiped an imaginary tear from his left eye before suddenly wearing an expression that seemed like he just got a brilliant "idea"
[your idea isn't bad but are you sure we should use them as cannon fodder?]
This question rendered me speechless as I thought "I said allies!!!" but didn't dare speak it out.
[Diana! Lefty's a Genius!] Joss said excitedly.
[En] the Apathetic maid responded as she calmly refilled the water in the Water Can. A Lady wearing light make walked in to give a report, [Sir, Jethro is seeking an audience. He has an urgent matter to report.]
[Send him in.]
The girl made a bow and left.
[Sir] A slim man with a height of 5.6 ft walked in with short strides while quickly taking in his surrounding Before finally performing a salute. Joss on the other hand just looked at him with interest while waiting for him to speak.
[Cayote says the "Devil was spotted at the wall heading toward Vindictus territory.]
The Boss's eyes flashed. [This is great news.]
[Xing is presently tailing him the best he can as the perception of that monster is high]Jethro added before casually greeting the Maid [Good evening, Diana]
The Latter gave him a precursory glance before replying with a [En] and returning to her business.
Joss on the other hand ignored the exchange and turned towards me [Lefty, start the plan you spoke of earlier.]
[Yes sir]I quickly responded.
He Then turned to Jethro saying, [You all can go...Jethro, let me know when you find out what the "Devil" is up to]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Primux Town
Eastern Quarters
Vindictus Territory.
The cracked sidewalk like the jagged gap-toothed grin of an old junkie.
A lurid graffiti of A "V" stabbed by a saber in it's center, the sidewalks were littered with Junk and Water puddle.
From every covered doorway came the dejected stares of men and women in their pathetic cardboard sleeping bags. From upper windows of some building came the boom of sub-culture music, clearly from the more well off individual. Hookers stalked the streets in their skimpy outfits and high boots looking for work, their drug-addled bodies as thin as pins, their cheekbones jutting out through pallid skin.
Haru's clone silently watched all this from the roof of the old abandoned Alchrod temple across the street. It had only arrived here today after running for a day, Haru's message had gotten to him the day before stating that he should complete the meeting with Vindictus.
He watched the Broker selling blue dust in an alleyway with a sneer plastered on his face.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Broker POV
In the alleyway I was standing with a bored expression, yawning repeatedly.
[Business is bad today again, because everyone is afraid of that "Devil"...hmph! i Hope he doesn't come out to hunt tonight] I thought out loud as I stretched my arms and touch the homes on both sides.
These walls build so very long ago. They are not the straight perfection of the modern buildings in the newer areas, but each curve and flaw renders them more beautiful still in my eyes. "Those guys at the news station really know how to exaggerate"
Suddenly a chill ran down my spine.
[were you looking for me?] a voice sounded out from behind me.
I rigidly tried to turn my head towards the voice as I saw red glowing eyes from the corners of my eye. [shit!!it's him] I immediately bolted just as lady Kat had instructed.
Immediately, I shot a red flare to the sky to signal to everyone as I continued to run for my life.
[This should be interesting] The "Devil" said casually but i wasn't interested in looking back at him as I chose to just continue running as my life depended on it.
As I ran, I soon spotted The tunnel that led to the agreed location, it curled away coldly into infinite darkness, the light that showed the rough walls dwindling as it snaked away. My skin shuddered as I thought I heard the echo of it's steps... "I can't go backwards...right there"
With one leap, I escaped from the end of the tunnel and landed in the knee-deep water. I didn't dare move as the first few seconds shock made my knee wobble.
THUD!!THUD!!THUD!!
Several sounds rang out next to me, as I traced the sound I saw several dagger like object stabbed in the ground.
Without much thought I ran wildly to the planned location.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Lady Kat!! Lady Kat!!!] The broker screamed like a pig as He followed behind him.
"way to go, letting me know there's an ambush...not like I didn't expect that much" Haru(clone) thought.
Following the Broker a bit further, He spotted an Old Farm ware house which seems to be the only thing standing in the Area, Apparently this would be the location of the "meeting".
"Wow!...they sure gathered quickly..." The clone thought in amusement "By the way they don't rush at me en-masse, I know my reputation precedes me as Most of them seemed to be so afraid of me." He silently chuckled as he calmly walked into the dark lit warehouse.
After Observing for a while, he had to admit that he was impressed that they didn't bolt despite all their shaking.
As he saw it, Either they gave him a wide berth or go wholesale until they're all dead or running away. Hopefully it won't be that boring...
"I wonder what is giving them the confidence though." Although he was curious He wasn't too bothered find out as he would find out eventually.
"well As long as their fear keeps feeding me points"
A woman with Black Cat like ears and tail, wearing a black body suit and a blood red over coat was leaning on the concrete Wall of the old farm while crunching an apple.
"Bingo...there you are"
Without a word, she flicked of her pale hands and three tough looking Class 5 warriors, each with a pale blue Aura, stepped forwards. But Before she could take another bite of her apple, he had them bleeding out of their mouths and collapsing.
<Genjustsu>
They had been placed in an illusion that made them kill themselves.
She took the second bite and crunches it slowly. Her face is stoney but He could hear her heart beating fit to burst.
What she just understood from him was "I'm massively outnumbered but that doesn't mean a thing."
Then the apple eater steps forwards, She extends Her hand, quite unarmed, "Katherine."
He didn't reply.
"She's expecting introductions, why? This isn't how the script should go!!!"
She drops her hand and continues. [How do I address you?]
Then he suddenly wore an evil smile and says [Pain]
