Chapter 19

On the other side...

"Looks like he has arrived." a voice broke the silence. It was a voice of a masculine and calculating man.

It was a pitch black room, it was dark enough that if one does not have prior information, they would have mistaken it as death. But, in the midst of it all, there was a big round table with 9 people around it, with all of their faces covered in darkness.

"Yes, he indeed has." replied a woman.

"Tch. What a trouble maker, he just came and he's already wrecking shit up, I don't care if you were a hero or whatever but-"

"Calm down, No.3, ranting will not do anything."

"Yea, No. 1 is right, No.3."

"Then are you telling me to ignore him?!"

"No, that man is precisely why we have gathered us, the 9, here."

"Wah, sounds like a pain. Couldn't we just like, let him go or something?" A new voice came out. One of a kid no older than 11 at that.

"No. 6, you are too carefree, that man is a disturbance in the force."

"I agree with No. 7 over here, No. 6, you need to be more serious."

"But like, would it make a difference at all?"

"Of course it would you block head!"

"What did you you say No. 8?"

"I called you a block head? What are gonna do? Cry to your Papa?"

"I don't wanna hear that from a guy that has never had a father figure!"

"Now you've done!"

Both No. 6 and No. 8 started concentrating magic to their respective right fist. But before they can do real damage, a loud powerful voice stopped them.

"SHUT UP!"

As the voice got out, the winds started rampaging.

"Ah now you've really done it, you should know better than to piss No. 5 off." said a new voice, it was a sexy cunning big sister voice.

"That's enough No. 4, don't try to put out into fire."

"Good grief, fine, I will shut up, but only because you said it, No. 1."

No. 1 casually ignores her statement.

"Anyways, No. 9, what do you think?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"No. 9?"

"... about what?"

"Him."

"Who?"

"There's only one person that can make me call for an emergency meeting, you know that the best."

"Ah, that bastard right?"

"Yes, that man."

Even though the room is completely pitch black, maybe it was the wind, maybe it was an unconscious release of magic power, but, right then and there, No. 9 was undoubtedly grinning, with the biggest grin shit-eating grin a man can imagine at that.
