While Nivril and Sasha were calmly talking to each other, Dramil came back with the rest of the group carrying two bottles of champagne, one in each of his hands, a wide smile across his face.

"Look at that! It seems you two sorted things out, and I got just the present for that! Each of you can have one!" Dramil gave each a bottle of some expensive-looking champagne.

"Oh… thank you…" Sasha smiled awkwardly not expecting such a present and not being much of a drinker.

"Where did you get these?" Nivril questioned with his eyes narrowed.

"Oh, relax! It was just some basic stuff. I could do it with my eyes closed." Dramil didn't explain at all, shrugging it off as nothing.

"Don't be so humble man! You out-drank like 10 people in a row!"

"Yeah! We ended up having an argument with some rich people and they ended up drinking against us, but all 10 of them couldn't keep up with Dramil alone, so we got some expensive stuff from them! You should have seen their faces."

"Yeah! And as we were coming back one of them just went to the others to cry about being robbed by two thugs, those people have no luck despite having so much money… I guess that balances it out."

"You say that, but I feel sorry for the thugs, didn't you see all the people they called to come and get them?! It was at least 15 people!"

(Oh sh*t!.. That's what I get for being merciful!… I won't commit this mistake again, mercy isn't given, but earned! Don't forget that!) Nivril told himself in his mind, realizing what was about to happen.

"Enough guys!… but yeah, it's as they said... I know you always say I should drink more carefully, however, they were asking for it! They even tried to force the girl to come with them." Dramil shut the others up before trying to convince Nivril to not scold him for drinking too much.

"It's fine… this time, since today I also made a mistake… we are the two thugs… you were just talking about. The guy tried to hit on Sasha and you can imagine the rest." Nivril explained.

"I guess we're on for a fight today… you 6 and Nivril can stay behind, me and Sasha got this covered! I might not have a talent for cultivation, but I was trained to be much stronger than the average person!" Dramil stretched out with a smirk on his face, fully ready for whatever comes their way.

"You forgot how I fixed my face? I can fight too you know." Nivril got up and stood next to Dramil, getting ready for the upcoming fight.

"Look at you two! Don't worry, if it came to it, I could take down 30 people on my own!" Sasha got in front of both bragging with a cute small smile full of cockiness.

"You talk about my luck, but yours isn't bad either if you have a strong girl like this." Dramil looked at Nivril as if to tell him that he should listen to his brother more often.

"Luck?… I'm not so sure… it feels more like fate." Nivril replied rolling his eyes at Dramil's behavior.

"Fate?… it indeed seems that way… who would have thought that you people would be the thugs responsible for robbing my brother?… I guess fairness does exist." A young man with a white suit carrying a necklace that had a lion head with sapphires on its eyes came in, followed by a group of 18 men in black suits.

"Fair? Don't make me laugh, you guys lost 10 to 1, but don't worry it will soon be 29 to 3." Dramil flipped the young man in the white suit as he retorted.

"Honestly, I advise you to just leave while you have some dignity left." Nivril warned.

"Don't even try, just let him make his bed and realize he's not ready to sleep there." Sasha shook her head already in a battle stance.

"A dead man talking about dignity… that's funny. Get rid of these fools and get back whatever they stole, and don't underestimate the woman, she's unusually strong." The young man in the white suit ordered.

Just like that the men moved forward 5 on Dramil, 5 on Nivril, and 8 on Sasha.

As soon as one of the men around Dramil moved to attack him, he weaved and pushed him against two other men, before blocking the next one and pulling him to use as a meat shield against the last man, who he then kicked in the crotch area rendering him incapacitated.

"Urrrghhh!!" The man groaned as his eggs got cracked. No more children for him.

At that time the recovered 3 men came back at him, and he once again throw their ally at them, this time being the one he used as a meat shield before, which hit 2 of them. Leaving the third one to come in charge at him, something he parried before triple-hooking the man into a knockout.

"The bastard is too quick!"

"Just get him!"

While he still had time, he kicked the face of the man with the cracked eggs to make sure he stayed down, then dodged the attack from one of the 3 remaining men, who had just recovered.

"I can't believe we're losing to a frikin kid!"

Once again Dramil found himself surrounded but only by 3 men this time, they came in and attack him from three different sides. Instead of waiting, Dramil moved quickly and tackled the man attacking from the front into the ground, and punched him unconscious after sitting on his stomach to restrain him.

This however left him open as one of the two remaining men grabbed him from behind and grappled him, by holding him around his arms.

"You're done for! kid!"

Taking this opening as the last of the two remaining men comes in to attack the vulnerable Dramil with a punch, unfortunately for him, Dramil jumps making the man holding him his support and double kicks the man attacking him in the face, and that impulse from using this man's face as a platform made, made the man holding him fall to the ground losing balance and letting go of Dramil.

"No! Not my fac-!"

Turning around quickly, Dramil got on him and punched him out of it, finally taking care of all of his opponents.

*Huff* *Huff*

"Hum… I'm rusty… I moved so slowly… is it the alcohol? Oh well, whatever..." Dramil breathed heavily to his own surprise. "Anyway, I should see how that anti-social hobo is fairing…"

-Meanwhile-

As Sasha had 8 men around her, there was no worry on her face at all.

"Give in b*tch! You have a decent face, the boss might forgive you if you behave… you should know how to behave like a sl*t as wom-"

Before the man saying that could finish speaking, there was a black rope tightened around his neck gripped with a hook and it blocked his air path, but he couldn't do anything as he was pulled and rotated like a wrecking ball and used to knock all of the other 7 men around Sasha onto the all, all of them out cold like it was nothing.

The black rope was then pulled into Sasha's quarterstaff as it closed its own tip.

"I love this thing!… I didn't even know they made these before I joined the dojo. I should thank those two for helping me pick this." Sasha hugged her quarterstaff with a wide smile. "Now time to check on hubby!"

-Meanwhile-

There were 5 men around Nivril and he didn't seem all that worried at all.

"You should have known better than to piss off the boss."

One of the men said as he charged at Nivril before the others and he came in with a punch.

*Bam!*

"Arggh! What are you made of?! Just what are you?" The man was in pain as his hand felt like he was punching a big tree.

*Stomp!*

While the man was still on the floor, Nivril stepped on his face in a strong manner, knocking him out.

Seeing this the others went into a group and Nivril punched the first one and then pushed him all around until he hit the second before throwing them at the wall, making the third and fourth ones stop.

That however didn't stop him, as he one-punched the third one out of commission, causing the fourth one to run away, but it was too late as Nivril caught up to him and slammed his head in the ground right in front of the young man in a white suit.

Both Dramil and Sasha saw him take on the last one and smiled in unison seeing him like that.

"Useless! All of them!…" The young man in a white suit complained as he tried to run away, however, he was stopped as his shoulder was grabbed.

"And where do you think you're going before we've settled things with you?" Nivril asked him.

"Let go of me! You thug! Things won't be easy for you if you don't! You think I can't find a cultivator get you all?" The white suit young man threatened.

"So what? Do you think that's impressive? Plus you're in our hands now, can't you see the position you got yourself into?" Nivril was unmoved and simply asked him a few questions.

"… Hmph! What do you poor saps want from me?" The young man in a white suit inquired with an angry tone.

"If you want to get off unharmed, I want 10 million E-credits this instant!" Nivril just asked for an unreasonable amount.

"What?! I don't have that kind of money!" The white suit young man immediately refused.

"Then I guess I don't have this kind of mercy." Nivril began pressing his head with a lot of strength, making him feel like his head could explode at any second.

"Wait! Wait! 1.5! I can do 1.5 million! Please let go!" The young man pleaded.

"5 million and I won't go won't go any lower!" Nivril continued.

"3! 3 million is all I have! I swear on the name of the Sapphire Eyes Lion clan! That's all I have in my account!" The young man begged.

"Fine! Sent it right now!" Nivril pulled out his phone and put on the transfer app.

Only being slightly let go, the young man did as he was ordered, and 3 million E-credits were transferred to Nivril.

"You thugs! If you really have the guts you say you have! Give me your names and we'll if you're tough!" The young man made a basic taunt.

"Hmph! Just take mine and leave! I'm Raylid Oustort from the Mayort Grand Ten high school!" Nivril lied through his teeth with great confidence.

Sasha was behind him at this point containing her laughter knowing what he was doing, while Dramil who was unaware of the situation just keep a poker face despite being surprised.

"Ha! Just wait and see if you keep that confidence later!" The white suit young man proclaimed then left.

"You let him go…" Sasha pointed out.

"Typical behavior for him, I told him to be more ruthless before." Dramil added.

"He's from the Sapphire Eyes Lion clan, you can see from the necklaces he was wearing, it's a very powerful clan with a bunch of cultivators among their ranks, that's why I asked for so much money… anyway, talking about the money… I need 2 million of the 3 million, are you two fine with having just half a million each?" Nivril expressed.

"Damn… that means we're in a deep pickle when they find us eventually… As for the money, you're the one who got it, I'm not complaining! Half a mil is still way too much money." Dramil was perfectly fine with it.

"If you need it then have it. I'm just thankful you want to give me that much... I guess I didn't choose a stingy or shabby husband if he'll give me that much pocket money." Sasha agreed and then joked about it.

From there Nivril transferred the money to them, keeping 2 million for himself. After that, they stayed there for a while longer, and then eventually Sasha and the other 6 had to leave, only Nivril and Dramil staying together.

"You know… it's really nice to do this again. I missed the times when it was just us two doing stupid stuff together." Dramil commented as he drank.

"You tell me about it… remember that time when I convinced you to make a cloud for my science project." Nivril referenced their past.

"Of course I do! We covered the whole orphanage in the cloud and everything was wet! The caretakers wanted to kill us! Hahaha!" Dramil laughed it off.

"Who was the one putting 10 times the about I asked in the mixture I wonder." Nivril pointed out.

"I wanted to take us to a world of pure imagination. Then again, I don't think it beats the bubbles… that one was the worse…" Dramil shivered thinking about it.

"If I had a coin for each time we coveted in the orphanage in some form of water, I would have two coins, which isn't much, but it's still weird that it happened twice." Nivril said being reminded of that.

"I know right? Though that doesn't the time had a secret pet monkey for 3 months… I miss chippy…" Dramil sighed as he mourned a real one.

"Or the time you tried to basically adopt a girl about our age… It was weird how you actually treated her like she was your daughter… you were never so responsible again… then again, the fact you even tried to do that was proof you consumed too much anime and manga… you filthy weeb…" Nivril remembered one of their weirdest moments.

"Says the closest degenerate… now talking about that girl... She actually called me. We had a whole conversation on the phone. She said that her current family tried to encourage her to accuse me of grooming her cause I was 1 year older than her… Can you believe that? I was legitimately just trying to help her, you know…" Dramil's face went somber

"That's rough body… we can get to her a settle things, but you alright?" Nivril asked.

"We don't have to and yeah… yeah… it's fine. You?" Dramil just nodded with empty eyes.

"I almost died… I was going to be burned alive and then drowned by ruffians." Nivril gave the short version.

"You know I'll kill them if tell me who they are…" Dramil expressed.

"Yeah… I know… it's fine, though. good to be back, brother." Nivril put his fist up for Dramil.

"Yup, great to be back, brother." Dramil first pumped Nivril.

"I'm going to get you a cultivation technique." Nivril said.

"You should know, I was already deemed untalented for that." Dramil shook his head.

"It will work, just trust me." Nivril replied.

"Seriously?" Dramil wanted confirmation.

"I wouldn't joke about something like this." Nivril took a shot of his cup of vodka as he spoke.

"Thanks, I'll be waiting." Dramil responded with a small smile before also taking a shot.

From then they just continued to drink, no other word was exchanged cause they know they didn't need to say anything. They were just brothers again, enjoying life knowing that whatever happens, they will be ready for another cup with each other next time as always.

As they got up to leave the club, Nivril saw something that he didn't as he was face-to-face with a group of people.

"Teacher…" Nivril let out as his 5 female teachers and the school principal were all dressed up for the night.
