106 What a bother. (1/2)

Hearing Clive's announcement, the group of Mercenaries all started to discuss among themselves.

The Silver Knights under Clive immediately set up a big round wooden table in the middle, near the wooden cabin.

A few minutes later, the leaders and their vice leaders all started to gather around the round table.

When Raven had heard Clive, she decided to wake up Ozul since it would be an important meeting.

While she went to wake up Ozul, some other Mercenary groups had their own conversations.

”Boss! What have you been staring for so long? Let's go, hurry up!”- A man shouted at another man who was dazedly looking at the wooden cabin.

”Hm? Oh! Let's go.”- The man who was immersed in his thoughts woke up hearing the shouts. After that, he just walked towards the table where others were gathering.

”Hey you dimwit! What happened to Boss?”- the man who had shouted at his boss asked his fellow. However, before the person could reply, another man cut in.

”Isn't it obvious? Boss Barry has been like this since he saw that silver-haired girl!”- This man looked better than his peers. After he had spoked, the others had a look of realization on their faces.

”Oh! No wonder. But Brud, you know that's never gonna happen, right?”- the man questioned again.

*Smack*

”Hey! What was that for?!”- the man who had questioned cried out when Brud smacked his head.

”It's vice leader Brud for you bastard! Show me some respect, will ya?!”- Brud said with annoyance visible on his face.

This person named Brud was the vice leader of the Mercenary group Wind Eagles.

”Hehe... It hasn't been long since you became the vice leader. It's just that my tongue slips sometimes.”- the man who was smacked, smiled cheekily.

”Yeah, whatever. I know it's kind of impossible for Boss Barry to get that silver-haired girl. But we can't say anything. Just let it be, you know how he is when someone goes against him.”- Brud advised the rest of his peers.

”Now get back to watch, I have to go to this meeting or whatever.”- Brud hurriedly followed behind his Boss Barry while the others went to do their duties.

In another group, a short brown-haired woman was glaring at another woman with maroon hair and chocolate-colored skin.

”Big sister! Why are you looking for that guy now? Is he more important than the meeting?!”

”Okay okay, I am coming, Tephi. You don't need to shout! ”- Orsella shook her head before following Tephi. Not before she gave a long, complete look around to see if she could spot him in the crowd.

Back to Raven, she approached the carriage where Ozul was sleeping, and Blaze stood near there, acting as a guard.

”You're sure he's not going to be angry at you disturbing his sleep?”- Blaze asked when she was going to wake him up.

”Okay, maybe sometimes...” she added after a little while.

”What is it now?”- Ozul woke up after Raven nudged him a little.

”That Clive guy is going to explain the details. We have already set up the camps, and he said to meet up in the middle.” Raven hurriedly explained.

”Ah, what a bother... Let's go.” Although Ozul did not want to, he knew that the details were crucial, so he forced himself to come out of the carriage.

Ozul removed the samurai hat and stretched his prosthetic arms before making his way over to the meeting place. Raven and Blaze silently followed behind him.

As he made his way towards the meeting table where other leaders were gathering, his figure caught the attention of others.

Because of the dim light, it was not very clear, but this was the first time when the Mercenaries had seen his face.

'Definitely a young master from some noble house.'- everyone who looked at him had the same thought.

Instead of being fearful after their revelation, the Mercenaries were even more disdainful towards the trio.

On the other side, the women were literally drooling over him! When Raven saw the scene, she hurried her steps and walked with him instead of following behind Ozul.

Her hands were almost touching those of Ozul. While the latter's hands were prosthetic, it nevertheless gave the onlookers a feeling that they were together.

The women started glaring at Raven, but the latter didn't back down. Instead, she replied to all of those stares with her own.

Obviously, Ozul noticed all the emotions of jealousy and hate directed towards Raven. Still, he didn't worry when he felt those emotions multiplied many times over from Raven directed towards those women.
