Chapter 252 - Experience (1/2)

”Uhh...?”

”Kill him?”

It seemed like Remi's orders had stirred some mixed emotions from the various people gathered. Despite them doing things in the dark and plotting against one another, they had never gone so far as killing each other before. So when Remi's words came out, there was more than a few people who suddenly became rather frightened.

”Did I stutter? I asked you to rid us of this person. You're all not hesitating now, are you? That would be very bad for you...”

Remi's voice trailed off while looking over at Laz, almost as though she did even want to bother talking to the people she was ordering around.

The one with the strangest look on their face right now was Damien. After all, he was suppose to be the leader that she had put in charge. As far as Remi went, she was suppose to just be his support and not interfere with the happenings of the council unless she had something she wanted him to do.

But now it seemed like she was going to be the one taking command, at least for the moment.

For those who didn't understand what was going on, they were looking at Damien with questioning gazes. For the ones who understood who Remi was, they could only look at each other and sigh.

Guess things weren't going to be as simple as they had thought.

Despite the surprise they felt, the upper level members could only take a deep breath and turn their attention towards Laz who was still trying to make sense of things.

'This woman is seriously messed up in the head.' Seeing everyone turn their sights on him, Laz decided to just put her to the back of his mind for now and face the ones who had turned towards him with ill intent.

”Come now. Can't we just talk this over?” Laz asked, looking at the various foundation realm infected who had started drawing their power.

”Sadly friend, there is nothing to talk about. When the lady speaks, we listen.” Damien responded, not really caring about this unfamiliar face. Although Laz had leaked enough of his aura to show he was an infected, it was overall a very weak reveal. Laz had figured it would show he was one of them without scaring anyone. But it seemed like that made them all think he was weak.

”Laz...” Julia called over from the side, worried.

”It's fine. Since it has come to this, I might as well get serious. After all, the plan is still the same, it just looks like it's going to be played in a more open setting.”

Well, since it had come to this, Laz figured there was no point in hiding.

Laz circulated his energy and blood at full force, no longer hiding his strength. Before a single attack even came his way, the ones who had been moving towards him suddenly felt a strong sense of danger assault their senses. It caused the entire room to take a step back.

Seeing this, Remi smiled, something that Laz didn't fail to notice.

If it had been another time, Laz might had just attacked first and asked questions later. But considering everyone in the room was considered an infected like him and because he didn't feel any killing intent coming from Remi, Laz started to think that maybe he had gotten the wrong opinion.

'Why is she... acting like she is watching a show?” Laz failed to understand her real intent.

Either way, with his aura on full display, the foundation realms that had been moving towards him backed off and started to group together. Damien especially looked to be in a rather foul mood.

”I don't know who you are and even if you are strong, there are far more of us than there are you. It's best if you leave, right now, before we have to get serious,” Damien threatened.

”I thought I said to kill him?” Remi asked, finally turning her attention towards Damien.

”Remi, besides you, none of us are a match for him. If we attack him now, even though we will succeed in killing him, many of us might die as well, causing us a lot of undue loss. Isn't it better if he just leaves now and we be rid of him?” Damien replied back respectfully. These were his honest thoughts at the moment as he didn't want to severely weaken themselves just to chase off one person who happened to wander in.

”Weaklings. This is the reason Remi said this council in stupid. Just because of one powerful man who steps into our lives, you all want to turn tail and run and not fight? Do you expect to talk and threaten your way out of every situation you get in? Isn't it better to fight and kill your enemies than to give them time to get strong enough to destroy you?” Remi asked, looking disgusted.

Strangely, Laz was starting to get some idea of what was going on.

”Yes, yes. What mistress Remi says is right. We must destroy this bothersome pest before he can bring us any more trouble,” Greg said, somewhere off to the side. It was easy to tell that he had been hiding in the back since the beginning and had no intention of fighting Laz first. As far as he was concerned, there were more than enough idiots to act as meat shields for him.

”I don't like you and don't call me mistress. I'm sure you would love nothing more that to be beaten like a dog every day from Remi but Remi refuses to have a dog as ugly as you,” Remi said, causing Greg's face to turn red and green at the same time.

”Ha. Interesting. I personally agree with the crazy chick over there. You all back away just because you're scared? That will only get you killed quicker,” Laz said, basically supporting them attacking him.

Laz's plan to use this premade organization would be useless if the members didn't have the slightest balls to work with.

”See that? Even he is mocking you. Come on boys. Tuck in those useless ball sacks of yours and show him what you're made of. Otherwise the girls here are going to think that your all talk and no d.i.c.k. And you don't want that do you?” Remi again provoked them, causing the girls who had been left alone to laugh, even though they covered it up quickly.
