Lenz Tower, Espat.
At one of the top floors, there were three people sitting in a large office containing a big rectangular table and many chairs around it.
At one end, there was an old man in white robes and at the other end, there were two people, one wearing a black uniform and the other wearing a blue uniform.
Both these guys had a serious expression on their faces as they watched the person at the other end of the room get frustrated. They were kind of expecting this.
The old man in white robes slammed the documents from his hand down on the table and cursed, “how did he do that!?”
“No! How dare he do that!?”
The old man couldn’t believe himself that someone tried to break the laws of the CNC right in front of their eyes and not only that, the silver-haired guy even ended up killing the members of the national security and the ones from the CNC.
pa(nd)a no vel How can someone even have the courage to do that? Not even the most feared criminals have the audacity to do such things.
The old man looked at the two people at the other of the table and said loudly, “how come the most trained ones under you two get killed? Just who is this guy?”
“We have no idea, sir. There’s no data about this person present as well. We searched everywhere but found nothing.” The guy in black uniform said.
“Huh? How is that possible? Did you check with the witches in the intelligence department?”
“Yes, we did. Even they don’t know anything about it.” This time, the one in the blue uniform answered.
“…”
The old man fell silent after hearing that. If what these two guys were saying is true, then surely something must be off about that guy. There’s no way that even the head of the intelligence department, a high ranking witch, doesn’t know about the background of a person.
The old man was confused and tried to rack his brains to think of some possibilities.
‘Could it be that he has some mysterious background? No, could it be that he’s from some strong—’
SLAM!
The door of the office room slammed open as a guy in a red robe barged in.
“There’s an urgent meeting. Head to the Upper House immediately!”
The old man knitted his brows and was about to curse at the guy who rudely opened the door, but his words were interrupted by the guy as he looked at the old man seriously and continued,
“Myers, the stunt you pulled off, you’re in deep shit for it now. Don’t be late and quickly head to the Upper House.” The man in red robes left after saying so, without even giving a chance to the old man to speak.
The CNC had two houses with the fifty council members holding their meeting in the Upper House a few times every year or in case there’s an emergency.
“Just what the hell happened? And how is my day going from bad to worse to absolute shit?” Myers couldn’t help but curse.
“Tch. Whatever.”
Myers got up after saying and walked towards the door to go to the Upper House.
Before leaving, he said to the two people in uniforms, “keep looking at who the guy is and what background he has. I think he may definitely be some big shot or some wanted criminal.”<> panda-n( 0 ve)l.com
“Yes, Sir.” The two guys got up and said while bowing.
The old man, Myers, left the room and went to the Upper House.
A while later, as soon as Myers reached the place, he saw all the council members sitting on their respective seats in an elevated arrangement inside a big hall.
At the bottom of the room, where there was supposed to be the speaker, there were two strangers standing.
One was a light blue-haired, silver-eyed man wearing a white suit and the other was a red-haired, red-eyed man wearing a black suit. Both appeared very sophisticated and elegant but their serious looks made Myers understand that something was definitely wrong here.
Myers quickly went to his seat and sat down.
After everyone was settled, the red-haired guy in black suit said with a smile, “you must be wondering why you were called so suddenly and who ruined your peaceful slacking time, right?”
The council was silent as they heard that. All just thought, ‘what’s with this passive aggressiveness?’
The red-haired guy continued with the same smile, “well, don’t worry, as from now on, you won’t be troubled like this anymore.”
The council members felt relieved as they heard that. It was a good thing if they weren’t bothered. Attending meetings was such a hassle.
Myers was the same. At first he was really panicked thinking what went wrong, but now looking at the two guys in front, he didn’t think there are any problems present.
At least there’s nothing to worry about his own actions and he wasn’t the one being targeted.
The red-haired guy then said, “Me and this guy here, we’re here to let you guys know about some things. The CNC seems to be forgetting things and doing things that aren’t necessary and causing troubles to people. They do need a reminder from time to time and as to luck would have it, me and my partner are here to help you with that, haha!”
Though the guy introduced the light blue-haired guy, that person didn’t have any change in expression and was just looking at the council members with a serious look.
“Hey! You keep talking useless crap, but who exactly are you? Why are you in the Upper House where entry is forbidden to everybody except the council members? And you guys, why are you so calmly sitting here and accepting whatever’s happening?” A council member got up and shouted.
“He’s correct. Why are we just sitting and listening to some nobody speak?” Another person chimed in and added.
“Yes! Since when did we, the revered council members, need to listen to someone else?” Another person said.
The red-haired guy laughed as he listened to all of this and said, “now, now. As I said, we’re here to help ensure that you guys can slack all you want and don’t need to work. No need to be so hyper about it. Let me tell you how it can be done.”
The red-haired guy then took a step ahead and said with the same smile as before, “you all don’t need to work hard if you…”
He took another step and…
BOOOOOM!
He appeared in front of the council member who questioned and slammed his head straight onto the desk and made it explode, causing his blood to rain everywhere.
The red-haired guy, standing above the council member’s body that just bursted, clapped his hands and continued with the same smile as before,
“…if you guys sleep forever.”
