“Erick-Sama/Erick-san!” Cortel, Monan, Merial, and Roderick shouted along with Leader Shun, attracting everyone’s attention to the person who caused so much commotion.

“Yo!” Erick greeted them, cooly with his hand, and looked at everyone else present there.

.....

“Erick-same! You’re finally here, waaaa!” Merial felt like she couldn’t hold herself back and hugged him while pouring her heart out on his chest.

“There…there…it’s alright now.

Everything will be alright!” Erick patted her back and consoled her even though he didn’t know what they went through, to make her cry like this but he tried his best to give her the comfort that she wants.

“Erick-same, we are sorry, we failed in protecting our friends and lost three brothers!” Cortel, Monan, Rodrick, and Leader Shun apologised with sullen faces, frustration, or even deep sadness, all kinds of expressions surfaced on their faces while bowing their heads and waiting to be punished for breaking their promise with Erick.

“What’s going on and what are you apologising for?” Erick asked, feeling confused as he didn’t follow what they were trying to say to him and apologising for.

“Umm!” Cortel, Monan, and Rodrick felt hesitant and didn’t know how to explain that to Erick-sama.

“Sigh! Let me do the explaining. Where should I start!” Leader Shun sighed looking at three so he decided to do it himself.

“Just start from the beginning!” Erick said feeling a bad premonition from their tone.

“Well! It all started in the morning when they suddenly appeared in the vicinity of our city….!!” Leader Shun explained word by word what happened which led to this tragedy.

Apparently, his bad premonition came true, when leader Shun told him about the death of three brothers of Soren and how Soren himself got critically injured putting him in a coma.

Erick for the first time felt very deep anger towards the malice organisms and also sadness, remembering those three funny brothers of Soren’s muscle idiot group.

Erick had gotten attached to all ten of them and he even considered them his close people like friends.

Even though he didn’t spend much time with everyone, what he spent with them was always enjoyable for him.

He also felt sudden respect for those people who had sacrificed themselves to save their close friends or families.

Leader Shun also explained why they are here outside the city and why they did not enter the city.

“Well…well…well! I am feeling a little pissed at the moment and these pheasants presented themselves at the perfect time!” Erick said with a cold grinning expression making Leader Shun feel like he was looking at the ferocious angry ancient beast who is ready to bear his fangs and tear apart his prey.

He suddenly felt very sorry for those who are going to face Erick-sama’s fury.

“Let’s go and I settle this matter in an instant as we can’t have these people wait out cold like this!” Erick motioned Leader Shun to show him the way so he can settle this matter as soon as he can.

“Ye…yes, Erick-san!” Leader Shun replied with a stutter from his daze and turned around to lead him to the people who were blocking their entry into the city.

“Cortel and Monan please, take care of your sister Merial here for me. She…no, you all need rest so I will make sure you can do that soon!” Erick handed Merial to Cortel and made them take care of Merial while looking at their countenance, he mentioned but suddenly his gaze travelled to everyone’s faces, and finding all of them have the same dead tired and exhausted face, he felt he needed to hurry up and settle this matter fast.

“Leave to us and please, visit Soren as soon as you are done settling this matter!” Cortel took Merial on one shoulder and Monan on another one and supported her so she could put her weight on both of them.

She also mentioned Soren’s condition, remembering that his condition might worsen any second so she reminded Erick about him.

“Okay, I will do that so don’t worry!” Erick nodded and assured her that he will take care of his condition before it can worsen.

After Leader Shun led Erick inside the city after shoving some money in the guards’ hands.

They went straight towards the centre of the city where the city lord of Mid-tier Miami city lives.

…..

City Lord or Chief administration of city office,

“Sir Minos, we can’t let them enter the city, as you already know about the depleting resources problem. There are at least 200 or so people in that group, and if you decide to let them settle inside the city then you might find yourself in trouble with the existing powers in the city!” A guy wearing a tight black and white suit was explaining the problem to the chubby middle-aged man sitting on the comfy chair behind the table with his hands resting on his belly.

“Hmmm! You are right about that but what excuse are we gonna say to them as we can’t outright deny them, which might damage my reputation!” Chubby Sir Magott ahem…Minos said, stroking his non-existence beard with a sly smile on his face.

“We can instigate one of the powers in the city and they would do the work for us without our interference in the matter!” The man who looked like a shrewd and scheming assistant replied to his thought-out plan with a glint in his eyes.

“Jajajaja! What a brilliant idea you thought of, my competent assistant, Murol Commers!” Chubby Sir Magott ahem…Minos laughed loudly feeling pleased with his assistant’s sly scheme so he praised him.

“Haha! You jest, Sir Minos, I am not at all comparable to you!” Murol Commers gave him a polite smile while replying in modesty filled with irony in his words which were not understood by Sir Magott ahem…Minos.

Murol Commers was hiding the sneer in the corner of his lips when he replied to him in irony-filled words. He meant that he wasn’t a waste of space like Sir Magott ahem…Minos so he can’t compare his intelligence with a pig that would be an insult to his genius mind.

‘Hehe! Enjoy your short days in your comfort, if what I heard from Mr. Veller is true then you are finished this time!’ Murol Commers thought inside his mind while maintaining his smiling face.

One was gloating about his boss’s misfortune and the other was busy imagining how he is going to enjoy his nights. Unaware that his demise has already arrived very near him.
