“What do you mean by that?” The man was looking at Nathan; it was like there was something he didn't know about, but then it felt like he was trying to get him to say something. Nathan was looking at the man; his eyes were still. “When you got to Zauf, you fought someone. And that person injected you with something strong enough to be the end of you.” He was looking at the man, trying to shuffle his memory and get him to remember what happened. The man stood there looking at Nathan, a bit surprised for some reason. It was like he had found what he was looking for, but then it wasn't going to be resonating with the things that had happened to him. “I don't know how, but I was only nicked during that fight.” He stared at Nathan, like he didn't know what it was that the person would even think of doing to him, but nicking him in a fight was enough to make sure that he got the poison in his system. “He might have nicked you, but then there is no way for me to tell if this is the p

Nathan took the man to his mansion. He was not sure if it was going to be an easy operation, but they would need to do something to make sure that he was not going to lose his life. “Extracting the poison from your bloodstream is not going to be much hard work. But then I don't know how long it has been there and what it has been doing to you.” The man was silent; he looked up to see the mansion that Nathan had. “You did come back to take back what your family lost.” He was looking at what Nathan had there, and he wasn't shocked to see it at this point. Nathan turned to look at him; he had something to ask, but he was not going to be pressing it on the man at the moment. “You seem to know of my family,” He decided to throw a gentle question at the man; it was not really meant to do anything, just make the man talk. The man looked down, a smile on his old face. “I didn't just know them, I was one of the people they saved from a siege. Your fathers were not just any type of warrio

“I don't know who told you that coming to my mansion was a good idea.” Nathan was looking at the last man standing, he had taken down the other two, and it wasn't even up to three minutes when they attacked. Nathan was moving like a hollow ghost taking them out one by one, and it was the last man he was looking at. His eyes were fixed on him like a hawk, and he wasnt going to be letting him go that easily. “You don't know what you are getting yourself into, if you touch me then that means you are making yourself an enemy and this isn't something you want to see yourself doing. There is no need to make yourself the enemy here.” The last man tried to talk to Nathan, but it would not work. He was looking at someone who had made up his mind to kill them and it was like pouring water on a rock. “You think I would give a damn to whatever it is you are trying to tell me. But I couldn't even care less.” Nathan was looking at the man, standing over him like a wall. “You think that I woul

Zauf…. A country in Hondra is one of the deadliest places to even think of getting yourself a place. It wasn't even that much trouble getting lost there for a place called the Crime Land of Hondra—it was at its peak! In what seemed to be a five-star hotel, outside it wasn't always the worst place to be seen. Inside, there was a meeting and in that meeting sat five of the toughest and strongest men in Zauf. They were all seated for a meeting, there wasn't any sign of a weak being in the room. “I heard that those idiots failed to get Loid back here, oh the Supreme Syndicate ain't going to be happy about that.” One of the men spoke, looking around the room he could see that none of them would even have the mind to voice out what they were seeing and it was even sad for them in many ways. “How on earth did you think they would be able to do anything when they ran into the Masked General?” Another man spoke up, looking at the men there he was one of the few that looked odd and

Nathan looked at the crest; he was not sure if it was the same as the one his family had. There was no clear difference, but then he was not sure if Loid might have had the same Crest. He didn't know if it was even possible for someone other than his family to carry the Crest like that. He did not want to interrupt the process; he had found a way to make sure that the poison would leave his body, and he was not going to let it go to waste. He would use it and make sure that nothing would take the man’s body.He waited for some time before he did something else to his body, but nothing showed that he was getting a response from the man and the treatment was going well. He stood there looking at him; the crest was still on his mind, not knowing what the exact reason was why he felt that there was something connecting it to his family, and all he needed was to make sure that there was nothing going to keep him on edge the whole time. Loid lay silent for a couple of minutes, and his bo

Nathan was looking at Loid; he had no idea what was going on. “I don't know what I am going to be hearing, but if you say that this is connected to all I want to know, then I am all ears.” He looked at Loid. There was no way he wouldn't want to know what was going on on the continent, and he was going to make sure that there was a way for him to solve the problem. “The families chosen were the Gregory family from the Eastern Valley, the Artheris from the Northern Plains, and then the Specters from Caldor. These were the three families picked out by the continent heads; they were going to make sure that nothing would come in the way of Orde and Law in Hondra.” Loid got up, moving to a part of the room where he picked up a chalk Nathan had lying around. “These families were not picked because of status or wealth; they were picked because the matriarch of each family had a strong sense of justice, and they were seen as the pinnacle of power and strength.” Loid sounded like there was

“Obi-Nge, he is with the Masked General. Are you sure that you want to risk it in a fight?!” One of the Thorns was talking to Obi-Nge, a man with a shabby way of doing things. He wasn't trying to get in the middle of anything that would look like hard work for him, but if one of his prey had gotten away and was causing trouble. “Which is better, dealing with prey that you know you can kill and be through with, or being scared of a general that has nothing to do with your life?” Obi–Nge was looking at his partner, and nothing was going to prepare her for a question like that. He was looking at his partner and was not sure if there was going to be an answer from him. “I know you are trying to look out for me, but then there are better ways to do that, and I would love it if you understood that nothing is going to be holding us down like that, and I am not going to stand there to watch them take us down like we are some kind of lowlifes.” Obi-Nge sounded confident; he was known for

Liu hadn't gotten any information on Cruz for a long time; he was not going to let anything make him think otherwise. He was trying to make sure that nothing would come in the way again and make Nathan feel like there was no way for him to get anything done. He was not sure what would come out of all his endeavors. But if one thing was certain, he would be able to get something done. “It seems that you don't understand what you are trying to get done here, do you?” A voice came from the door of his office; Liu smiled but didn't even bother to look back. “Elena, when would you learn that it is not formal for someone to come to the office like that…?” Elena giggled as she waltzed into the office; she was still not completely healed from what the men Cruz sent for her had done. “You're still trying to get the plans out?” She was looking at the papers on the table, confused; she didn't know what was going on in his head at the moment, and it wasn't even clear if there was a way for

At Nathan’s mansion, he had made sure that he would put Obi-Nge in his place. It was not the type of fight anyone would have expected to see, but it went the way anyone with a brain would have expected it to go. Nathan was looking at the man who lay unconscious on the floor, and his mind went through certain things, trying to process the fact that in the blink of an eye, he was able to walk him down and put him in the trash where he belonged. “I could hardly believe that you were trying to win this fight; I was not even doing much against you.” In a mocking tone, Nahahn walked down to Obi-Nge, staring at him as he slowly took each step as if he was trying to see what the man would try to do. “I don't know what you idiots in Zauf think, but there is no way you are ever going to beat me…” He bent down to look at the man’s face; he could see the sad look on his face, and there was no way for him even to feel angry about anything that had happened to him, and it was almost like there

On the other side of Nathan’s mansion, a silhouette could be seen faintly on the other side. Shadows of five men could be seen; they were looking at the events going down, and there was no way they would even think of going in to help them. “I would have suggested helping him a bit, but there is no way we are going to be putting our lives at risk like that for someone who doesn't even wait for reason.” One of the men said, looking down at Nathan and Loid taking Obi-Nge down, it was not even the kind of fight they would have expected. “How pathetic, that didn't even last long.” “So he failed to even apprehend Loid; that man was way in over his head, and what made him think that in the long run he would be able to handle the Masked General alone?” One of the men got up; he had a smile on his face, but it was not a smile that anyone would want to have immediately after seeing something like that. “Even if he wasn't alone, I believe he was told that Loid is not alone for now and he
