381 Mission Deliberation Part 1 (1/2)
”I think I am in love~!”
When those words left Arthur's mouth, the entire room suddenly turned dead silent as everyone looked at Arthur with different expressions on their faces. And before everyone could even recover themselves, Arthur immediately removed his arm around Molton's shoulders before fixing his clothes a little.
After that, he cleared his throat with a slight cough before introducing himself. ”Hi! I am Arthur Springfield. This is my first time seeing an angel in disguise. May I know your beautiful name?” while extending his hand at her.
Seeing that, the faces of the others inside the room turned even weirder while looking at Arthur.
On the other hand, the 'angel' in question was currently raising one of her eyebrows while looking at Arthur's hand which was waiting to be shook by her.
Even though Arthur was left in an awkward situation since this girl seemingly had no intention of shaking his hand, he was still smiling at her as if he didn't mind it at all.
When Molton saw that and realized what his sister was thinking, he immediately decided to cut in and quickly introduce her to Arthur. ”Senior Brother, this is my twin sister that I mentioned before. Her name is Jillian. She is very beautiful, right?”
Then he turned his head at his twin sister and said. ”Sis, this is my Senior Brother that I am talking about. What do you think? He seems cool, right?”
After that, Arthur patted Molton's shoulder with his extended hand while saying. ”What are you talking about? Calling her beautiful is an understatement. She should be a goddess who descended on the mortal world.”
Meanwhile, Jillian raised her eyebrow even higher when she heard Molton's words. She still remembered that she met Arthur at the Twin Dragon Plaza before. And her first impression on him was-… Not so great.
And now that she learned that this guy was actually the reason why her twin brother was now 'betraying' her, her current impression on him became even worse.
Given that, he raised her eyebrows further upwards while saying. ”Oh~! So, you are the one who is 'contaminating' my brother's mind, huh? Now that I can have a clear look at you, I can immediately tell that you are really a bad influence.”
Hearing that, Arthur immediately waved his index finger at her while saying. ”Ah-Ah~! You are wrong about that, my angel. It is not 'contaminating', but it is called 'enlightening'. I am just teaching him how the real world works so that he can survive on it.”
Shin and others watched everything with their faces turning weirder and weirder every passing second.
Meanwhile, Jillian wanted to refute Arthur's words but was unable to do so. It was because the door of the conference room was suddenly opened followed by Nathan's entrance.
Hearing that, everyone immediately complied with his orders and started taking their seats. Though, Arthur shamelessly sat on the chair beside Jillian. And when the latter saw that, she immediately threw him a very fierce glare – but she didn't voice out her complaints because Nathan was waiting for them to take their seats so that they could finally start their meeting.
When Nathan saw that they were finally ready to listen, he immediately snapped with his fingers turning the lights off. After that, a virtual screen suddenly appeared on top of the center table – showing some information on it.
”Since everyone of you is already informed about the basic information about this mission, I am going straight to the main topic,” said Nathan while sweeping his gaze at everyone. And after a brief moment of pause, he immediately continued. ”We are raiding one of the strongest Martial-Art Family of the Souring Continent, the Leon Tribe.”
Shin and the others immediately become shocked the moment they hear the name of the family. Even though they heard that they were going to deal with a major Aristocratic Family, they still didn't expect that it was going to be this big.
In fact, Lorrain couldn't help but straighten her back while voicing out unconsciously. ”The Leon Tribe who is comparable to our Springfield Family and Potter Clan? That is crazy!”
”Yes, you heard it right. It is that very Leon Tribe,” confirmed Nathan while nodding his head.
”That is crazy! Why do we need to raid them?” muttered Leonard to himself with a very soft voice.
But given Nathan's current Martial-Arts attainment, he could easily perceive what Leonard had said and immediately answered. ”It was because we found out that this family is secretly conspiring with Shadow Alliance.”
This time, it was Shin and Arthur's turn to become fully shocked. They were both raised from the Military family so they were aware about the major organizations on the dark side of the word; especially Shin who was trained by the Black Serpent Mafia before which was also a part of that gigantic group.
What's more, this particular underworld organization was so big that it could threaten the World Government.
Given that, Arthur couldn't help but raise his hand asked with a doubtful tone. ”Uncle! If that is the case. Isn't this mission too massive for us to take part in? It is the Shadow Alliance that we are talking about. Moreover, it also concerns the Leon Tribe. This mission is too risky for someone on our level.”
Hearing how he was addressed, Nathan glared at Arthur and scolded him. ”Who are you calling uncle? We are currently in a military deliberation, don't get confused!”
