The Shadow Clan

Deal

Aji walked quietly in the middle of the city carrying a bag containing hundreds of millions of money. His gaze was blank. He didn't know where he was going. There was nothing Aji could think of. He just stepped without direction and purpose. 

"This is grudge. The favor is only at the beginning. After that, the mind and heart become empty." 

A voice suddenly sounded. Aji stopped his footsteps on the spot. 

"Who is it?" asked Aji while looking for the origin of the sound. 

"Calm down. It's me, Skotd. I'm talking through the space of the Boundary." 

"Boundary Space?" Aji felt confused. But he realized that Skotd's voice seemed to come from his head.  

'Is this real?' asked Aji to his heart.

"Of course it's real. You think, you're a kid who likes to play with imaginary friends?" replied Skotd who knew Aji's heart. 

Aji felt annoyed when his mind was read. 

"What do you want?" asked Aji in an annoyed voice.

"Why do you have to talk like that? You can speak using your inner voice. If you speak with your mouth, people will see you crazy for talking to yourself," Skotd said. 

Aji pressed his jaw together. Now he knows why his mind can be read. 

"Just tell me, what do you want?" asked Aji with a heart. 

"Nothing. I just want to talk to you. It's been thousands of years that I've been sealed and only recently was able to come out again. It feels so relieved," replied Skotd. 

"I don't have time to serve you. Anyway, soon you will be free. This earth will be destroyed. So shut up!" said Aji.

"Oh, really? Gosh.... You're so kind. Finally I can be free too. That means, you're going to kill that Goddess, right?" asked Skotd. 

"No. I can't kill her."

"Then how are you going to free me if you don't kill her?" asked Skotd in surprise. 

"By letting the planet lose to Ragnarok. I won't participate in that fight," Aji replied.

"Is it that by you not participating in Ragnarok, the earth will lose? Are you that sure?" 

"I'm not too sure. But after I think about it, I'm not sure the world government can win this Ragnarok? I'm sure those ugly creatures will defeat the planet. In view of their technology. I'm sure, their weapons are much more advanced."

"It's not a guarantee. This planet can be destroyed if this planet does not participate or suffers consecutive defeats until it gets the last rank. But if the planet is still in a safe position, then the destruction of the planet does not occur. You have to remember, only the 2 lowest planets will be removed from the solar system."

"Take it easy. If indeed this planet still survives. I'm going to kill myself. That way you will be free," Aji replied.

Skotd laughed. And his laughter was loud enough to make Aji's head feel like it was about to explode.

"Are you stupid? Of course, it's not that easy. You think, your ancestors didn't die when I was still in their bodies? Do you think that when they die I am immediately free? Not. See! I'm still here. I won't be able to leave your clan until the goddess of light who sealed me is killed by your clan. That means you have to kill that goddess of light if you really want to free me," Skotd explained.

"It's so troublesome. Then I can't help you," Aji chirped.

Skotd was exasperated. Besides being annoyed because of Aji's erratic attitude. Skotd is also upset because he feels that Aji does not have the spirit to live.

"Then just die now? There's no need to delay until Ragnarok ends!" said Skotd furiously. 

"That's what I'll do after I manage to spend this money. Before I die, I want to have fun and eat full," Aji retorted. 

Skotd was even more furious. He then did something so that he could master half of Aji's body. 

"Then just burn all this money!" said Skotd trying to get out the money in the backpack. 

Aji, who was surprised that half of his body was moving without his will, immediately stopped that half of his body. 

"What the hell?" asked Aji, not confused. 

"Shut up! I will burn and throw away all this money!"

Now Aji felt half of his lips move on their own. He could hardly believe what happened to half of his body. His left body is completely moving on its own. 

"Thousands of years I was sealed in that light without being able to do anything and without being able to see anything! Makes me very tormented. I hope that when I am called back, I can fight and release all my boredom after being sealed for thousands of years. But you, you even made me more tormented by your attitude of giving up on your own life! If you know this, I'd rather be sealed again than be in the body of someone who doesn't even have the intention to live!" 

Between being confused about what happened to half of his body and the money that was about to be thrown away, Aji tried to hold back his left hand that had scooped dozens of bills.

"What's going on! Is this what you did?" asked Aji.

"Who else do you think?! I will make you more miserable than this!" 

"Stop the fuck!" said Aji, who was still trying to hold back his left hand. 

Some people around Aji, felt astonished to see Aji acting strangely. They wondered what Aji was doing. They also wondered where Aji got the hundreds of thousands of bills, which amounted to so much. 

"Do we just have to contact the police? It's obvious that he has robbed the bank!" said one person.

"Don't, it's not necessary. Since he robbed, then we can take all the money from him without fear of being entangled in the law!" Don't call the police!" said someone else.

Without knowing what really happened, about 23 people who were there tried to surround Aji. They prepare to stealing the bag Aji is carrying. However, unexpectedly, Aji suddenly made a hard kick. One of them was hit by the kick and immediately bounced far away until his body hit a tree. And made the bounced person instantly unconscious. 

Some people who intended to stealing the money in Aji's hands became scared. Seeing one of the people who was immediately bounced off by Aji's kick made them shrink their guts.

"If you dare to touch this money just a little bit, I will kill you!" threatened Aji. 

Everyone took a step away. But they still pay attention to Aji. They still hope to get the money in the bag.  

"Stop it!" pleaded Aji refocusing on Skotd. 

"Don't want to! If I have to suffer, then you have to suffer too!" retorted Skotd. 

Realizing that this dispute would not come to fruition, Aji tried to give in a little.

"Well, then say what you want?" 

"Kill that Goddess of Light. If you can't, then join the Ragnarok battle! I don't want a boring life until I'm sealed again!" said Skotd. 

Aji gritted his teeth. The two things that Skotd wanted, of course, were not things Aji wanted to do. However, in order to be able to enjoy hundreds of millions in hand, Aji must be willing to do one of them. 

"Okay, I'll do it. I will participate in the Ragnarok fight," said Aji. But his heart said otherwise.

'There is a gap of a month and a half until Ragnarok starts. In that time, I will spend all this money for fun. After that I can ignore that fight!' inner Aji.

Skotd, who knew the contents of Aji's head, immediately showed his protest. He immediately threw dozens of bills into the air. Which was immediately greeted by the people who wanted to rob Aji's money. 

"Don't you think I don't know your foul intentions!" said Skotd as he threw the money.

"Alright.... I'm really going to fight!" said Aji.

Skotd knew that Aji's words were forced. Skotd knew Aji's feelings were still heavy. However, Skotd also realized that Aji meant it this time. 

"Good. Then we have to train immediately!" said Skotd. 

"Training? For what?" asked Aji.

"Of course it is to follow that Ragnarok! Do you think with you who can now win? You need to know, our opponents are not random creatures. They are tough opponents!" said Skotd.
