A crowd gathered

When he left the hall he wasn't surprised as Rose had drawn a crowd but she ignored them as she was currently lying on the sands waiting for Polemos to come out of the guild.

"Who the hell's pet is this?"

"I don't know, probably some creep who enjoys being around insects."

"Hey didn't one of the Gods Blood members mention someone who came in with this centipede, they even gave out a reward for anyone who kills it."

"Really, then I guess I'll easily be able to get the reward money for killing his pathetic and weak insect."

The one who spoke tried to unsheathe his blade but felt something grab onto the back of his neck as he felt his bones start to crack as he screamed in pain.

"They really continue to tempt me with their stupidity and arrogance don't they. Well it seems like I was not convincing enough when I took that moron's arm and tongue." Polemos spoke in a dark and cold tone as he asked the gentleman who he held in his grip a question. "Now before I snap your neck and make the rest of your body a vegetable, could you kindly tell me where I could possibly find the weaker members of Gods Blood? My good friend."

None of the crowd who gathered around Rose expected the scene to play out this way when Polemos showed up. Even the persons so called friends or associates were both shocked and confused as the information that they had was that the person who was seen with the centipede was new and no one would care.

The rest of the crowd just continued to stand and watch the scene play out as they wanted to see how things would turn out. They were all excited and some even started to take bets to see how the newbie would react and treat the person who he had in his grip. So far the bet for what was going to happen was 20,000 silver for him making him a vegetable, 15,000 silver for letting him go after he got his information, and 5,000 silver for doing both.

Besides listening to the moron screaming in his grip Polemos was also listening to all the individuals making bets as he smiled as he was even interested in betting on himself also just so he could get something for all his troubles.

"Hey, can I get in with the bet or no?" Polemos asked with a smile on his face as he tightened his grip on the moron's neck slightly cracking his neck further.

The one who was taking the bets and held the money laughed as he responded.

"Sorry, unfortunately that would be a little unfair, as you'd walk away with the most money since you'll do what gets the most out of it. But I could let you join in the bets if you tells us why you are bent on making enemies with Gods Blood."

When Polemos heard his response he smiled devilishly as he started to laugh as he forcefully turned the individual around so he could face the bet holder.

"Sure I can do that but, it'll cost you oh, 250,000 silvers for the information." He ignored the reaction of the crowd as he tightened his grip on the neck of the moron who thought he could get an easy payday. "And you still haven't answered me yet where do the lower ranking members of Gods Blood train or better yet hang out?"

When the crowd heard his answer all of the crowd was drawn in slightly as that was a lot of silver to ask for his reasons.

"Release me, you purple eyed freak, do you know who you're messing with. I'm from the Golden Army Sentinels, one word from me and I'll make sure you-." He couldn't finish his sentence as he felt something fracture or break, as he started to lose feeling in his legs. As he screamed in pain and fear.

Then he heard a cold voice that brought him back from feeling pain.

"You know, you're not the first dumbass who thought they could make demands when they obviously couldn't or had no leverage. Your threat means nothing to me besides." Polemos leaned closer to his ear. "I just joined The Burnt Lioness, and it seems as many if not all, are terrified of our beautiful and powerful leader."

When the individual heard what Polemos said he started to shake in fear as he wasn't wrong.

Secat had made a name for herself and every mercenary group knew not to mess with not only her but any of her members as she would make sure anyone would feel her wrath to anyone who did. About the only one who would constantly make trouble or annoy her and her crew were Gods Blood as the two leaders thought they were untouchable Gods above everyone.

"They, they train in a Special Elite nest. That's all I know, please, please release me, I won't cause any trouble anymore." He begged as tears fell from his eyes.

Polemos smiled when he heard that they trained in a Special Elite nest but he only made his grip firmer as he could feel the neck bones groaning. "That's a start but you left much out. Like what beast they fight against or even a location. Do that and I'll gladly release you." He smiled further as the crowd continued to place more and more bets on what was going to happen.

When he heard that he shook more as fear settled in his mind. 'Why, why did I have to make such a stupid decision today and garner the wrath of this devil.'

"I don't know the beasts they fight against, only that it's near the oasis. Just head east and you should be able to find the location." He stopped messing around as he really didn't want to be a vegetable.

Polemos grinned as he released his neck, but before the individual could release a groan of happiness he felt his knee bend in an awkward angle as he screamed in pain as he fell to the ground. Then before he could scream "why" he felt a powerful stomp that shattered his other knee.

Polemos ignored everyone else as he walked over to the still relaxing Rose as he stretched out his hand and started to rub her head with a carefree smile on his face as she hissed in glee. The crowd was surprised by his response as he did release the individual but they didn't expect how he would have reacted afterwards. Plus all their bets were for naught as Polemos never did what they bet on. Then the one who's knees were broken and shattered screamed.

"Why! Why! Why did you do that? I gave you everything you asked for, why did you do that?"

Polemos didn't even turn around as he continued to rub Rose's head and speak softly to her. But as he felt the many stares he looked around and saw that the crowd was staying as they seemed to want an answer also. He sighed as he stopped rubbing Rose's head which made her hiss angrily.

"Hisssss."

"I know Rose, some people just aren't smart I guess." Polemos spoke aloud as he turned around but when the crowd heard his answer many frowned in anger. Then looking at the moron on the floor he spoke. "You're quite lucky that I didn't make you a vegetable as I was nice to only break and shatter your knees instead. And I don't get why you're so mad, I did what you asked and released you. I mean you were begging me to release you and I did."

But the Golden Army Sentinel just continued to look at Polemos with hate and anger in his tear filled eyes as he roared in anger.

"That's crap and you know it, I'll make sure both you and your pathetic pet die a horrible death you-." He couldn't finish his threat as he felt something sharp cut across his cheek. Then the whole crowd felt a pressure that made many shake in fear as a deep and cold voice spoke.

"You know, I thought I was being nice by not making you a vegetable but, apparently not since the only thing I've come to learn is that strength is about the only thing that seems to work when I need to make a point. And just so everyone is clear I missed on purpose since I promised not to kill anyone so as not to cause a disturbance or scene but." Then Polemos started to slowly walk forward as he unsheathed his heavy axe with an icy killing intent. "I guess making you not able to walk again should suffice."

Rose echoed his threat as she raised her body as a demonic and angry hiss broke out. Making more than half of the gathered crowd fall to the floor in fear. But before Polemos could get any closer to the Golden Army Sentinel member a rumble of thunder sounded in the distance.

"That's enough Mad One, you've made your point. Tony, go and pick up Frankle and everyone else." He took a deep breath as anger could be felt as the ground even shook. "Leave, this isn't a fucking gathering hall."

When everyone heard Gergs anger everyone started to scramble away in fear as some groaned out in displeasure as an interesting event just got ruined as they walked away.

Gerg looked over to Polemos as he was just picking up his harpoon and was placing it into its sheath as Rose slowly brought herself back to the ground and looked at Gerg warily.

"Don't worry Rose he won't hurt you. What I didn't kill anyone I just threatened and was only going to cripple the moron who thought it was ok to mess with Rose and take me lightly. And besides like I told him he was lucky I was nice and didn't make him a vegetable and only broke and shattered his knees. It was his stupidity that brought what was going to happen next." Polemos turned to look at Gerg with a carefree smile on his face.

"I know, I was watching the entire thing. But what you didn't know was that one of his members was about to rush in and attack from behind when you were about to cripple him for good." Gerg spoke as he turned around to head into the hall. "Besides if you want to mess with Gods Blood follow me I can give you a mission so you can make some money as well."

Polemos frowned when he heard that he was about to be struck from behind but he could only frown as he remembered he wasn't the strongest and was considered normal in strength here as he followed behind Gerg.
