Chapter Four: Broken Piece

Hell has 7 regions. Each district has a lord. Vassago was the lord of Flame Mountain. He lived in the Balrog Hall of Flame Mountain.

Kassifa had not gone home for a year. He still remembered that day that rebels came out.Father went into war.Every thing had changed. Vassago hardly ever came back to see him.Few times that his message was brought by Billet.It was the hardest time for Kassifa.He met troubles in politics and none could help him out.Present day,Kassifa almost regarded Vassago as a stranger.

"How do you feel? Once back home is not bad,"Billet said.

"It changed a lot,"Kassifa answered.

"Well,you know...wars, this is our general headquarters.We cut down trees to build walls and weapons."

"Yeah...How far?"

"We have been here. Do you see that hall? Oh, father is waiting for us at the door."

"Welcome back my children! How are you Kassifa? I am glad that you are going to be a pro guard."Vassago held his arms and said.

"Hi,dad.We are back,"Billet said.

"Hi..."Kassifa said.

"Hurry in and have a seat. Dinner is ready and waiting for you,"Vassago said.

Vassago beckoned the servant to carry the luggage. Billet took the horse back to the stable. Vassago wants to say a few words to his son. Kassifa walked away coldly and entered the door alone.Vassago was momentarily unaware of what he had done. Returning Billet broke this awkwardness.

"Hey,don't be shy.Try to talk to him.Ask him how he is doing.He is still upset."Billet said.

"I know,just...."

Billet and his father came to the dining room. The dining table was filled with food with a fragrant aroma. There were Golden candles, a white striped tablecloth, and silver spoons and forks.Billet and his father came to the dining room. The dining table was filled with food with a fragrant aroma. Kassifa didn't seem to have noticed them. He quietly looked at a family photo with a gunshot wound. That was a family photo of three people. In the center was Vassago, on the right was Billet, and on the left was Kassifa with a smiling face.

"Bro,sit down. It's going to be cold."

"Oh....I was looking at this photo."

"How are you doing,Kassifa? Is it relaxing to work?"Vassago asked.

"Fine.It....just good."

"Emmm....Oh,yes.Your campaign is going very well, I have seen it...not in person."

"Thanks," replied Kassifa.

Billet rolled his eyes and sighed at the lame questions After that, there was no further conversation. Everyone ate quietly. Vassago had no idea what to say. Maybe he could ask about your son's love situation? Is it too private? He had a deep desire to speak to his son. Billet was speechless by this awkward scene. And Kassifa was acting like he was too lazy to say a word.

No one knew how long it took, Vassgao finally mustered the courage and said, "Oh,yeah, Kassifa, I heard that you have some friends who know a lot,right?"

"I do."

"Here you are," Vassago hands him a list.

"What is it?"

"A list. I want you to investigate the names on it."

"What's wrong with them? I can even recognize some of them. They are our soldiers and commanders." asked Kassifa.

"Father believes that there are traitors who Inform the enemy.We almost lost some battles because they had already known our intelligence.Some of them might be close to us.You work in Pandemonium.we think you are better to find out.Also so you are more convenient for 'outsiders'. "Billet said.

"You guys only think of me when you're in trouble.... Okay, I'll do it when I have time."

"Could you stay? I mean spend a couple of days on it. I know I wasn't a competent father.Let me compensate you.I won't leave these days."

"No."Kassifa said strongly."I am running out of time.Eligor is waiting for me. Bye."

"So,soon?Have a drink with me before you leave."

"Listen.I don't know what kind of repent you are doing to you. But I don't accept it. You should have done it instead of doing it right now.I'll send you the list soon."

"I...I..."Vassago didn't know what to say.

"Bang——" Kassifa threw down the spoon and turned angrily to leave. He fiercely opened the door and left like the wind, only hearing the sound of hurried footsteps. After seeing this, Billet calmed his father's emotions and signaled that he should sit down and handle it himself.

He quickly caught up with Kassifa who had already arrived in the living room. "Are you trying to teach me or save my soul again?" Kassifa asked.

"I still keep my words. We are a family .Not to be contending for relative advantage." Billet said.

"Have you done so I can leave?" Kassiffa said impatiently.

"Also,keep your eyes open. Eligor,I don't think he's a good guy.He...felt like...disquieting. You should be careful of him."

"Seriously?Eligor,he is my best friend.I trust him very much.How could you....Are you even my real brother? Take care of your own business please."

"Just a warning.Some people won't know a hole until he falls down. Maybe you are right.I just created my own feelings.Good bye." Billet said helplessly. He seemed a bit angry. After bidding farewell to Kassifa, he locked the door. No more glances at Kassifa.

Kassifa casually glanced at the palace and left. Along the way, his mind kept replaying the previous scene. The voices of father and brother lingered. He felt a bit regretful and felt that he had said too much. But with a fierce heart, he shook his head to forget his bad thoughts and quickened his pace.

The Brothers were connected by heart. Billet also felt uncomfortable. He was very worried about his younger brother, although he just pretended to be cruel. Not long after even closing the door, he opened the curtains and watched Kassfia leave.

When Kassifa came out of the houseEligor happened to come to the door and wait for Kassifa. He was very punctual, not a second off. Kassifa put away his unnatural expression, pretended to be calm, and handed over his luggage.

"Good afternoon.Shall we take a traveler?"Eligor said.

"Sure.Let's go.Oh, by the way ,here, take it."

"May I ask what it is? A list?"

"Yeah,of some of my father's important subordinates. Could Investigate their background or something....There may be some people who are traitors.... spies of the rebel army."

"Sure,my pleasure."Eligor scrutinized the list and quickly scanned with her eyes. He looked thoughtfully at it.

Billet looked at Eligor again through the window. Although it was far away, he could still feel Eligor's uniqueness. He was definitely not such a simple person on the surface.Billet packed his equipment and left through the back door. He was determined to investigate Eligorde's hidden side.

Passing through the equipment room, Billet arrived at a huge furnace. The furnace emitted a crimson glow.He took out his weapon, the Soul Blade.
