“I want you to watch clearly from my side See exactly what kind of person I am”
“I think we’re pretty ree At this point, I’her up will understand the circumstances”
In a tucked away bar, twoto each other, but the problem was, these two men had a relationshi+p that oy These twoto take over the back alleys of the capital, were currently sharing a drink, harmoniously
Ho could two people who had seemed desperate to kill each other be like this?
There was only one reason - this war had been faked
Even if this was the Empire’s capital, it was impossible for there to be zero dark aspects to it
It is inevitable for darkness and light to coexist where people gather However, in order for public safety, regular maintenance of the dark areas was necessary
In order to do so, the Es connected to the dark Since it was impossible for them to completely eradicate it, they had decided it would be best to eneral public wouldn’t be harory were a part of that her ups of the Empire had secretly ordered thest the nobility, the higher ups were perfectly happy to have the two organizations fight and annihilate one of them
It was a kind of backdoor deal, but it was a very efficientpublic security In the first place, it was difficult to completely uproot such darkness, and even if they were uprooted, similar peoples could come and settle down That hy it was better to leave Chason and Gregory, ould listen to theht, then it wouldn’t require the Eet into it
And so, Gregory and Chason chose to fight ast theressive subordinates bleed once in a while to make thethen their authority
And so, the war in which the two of thean In other words, thefor no reason But in reality, a high-ranking official of the Eory’s ory were uess we should slowly talk about a peace treaty When should we do it?”
“Maybe in about a week or two later?”
“Mm… let’s do that But anization”
“Who? Are you talking about Jake?”
“Yeah He’s pretty great So couldn’t handle that kid and were beaten up pretty badly”
“Hood”
Chason stroked his beard as if he was troubled Having a subordinate in the back alley ht becorew up, then his position could be at stake
“I’onna have to deal with hiive hiot a lot of boys ere thrashed by hie”
“Sounds good We’ll use that as an opportunity to create a reconciliatory atlad we can understand each other”
Just as Chason and Gregory were having that conversation
Bang!
The door broke and someone walked into the hidden bar Chason was surprised when he saho it was
“You’re… Jake?”
Jake was the one who had burst into the secret bar
“You fcking son of a…”
Jake stared at Chason as if he was going to kill hi, but he hadn’t thought it would really be a dirty deal like this It felt like his head would burst froer when he found out that people had been killed by their plot
“How? Why are you here?”
“What happened to all the ory were du answered the question as he entered the roo Guess everyone was tired”
“Sieg? You too?”
Chason gritted his teeth
“You dare betray me? You want to be flayed alive? Is that it?”
Chason cruelly threatened the and Jake didn’t blink an eye
“Do you think that’s gonna work now?”
“These bastards…”
Chason h to just talk to them as he reached for the knife at his waist
But then…
“Ugh…”
As soon as he tried to get up from his seat, Chason felt like the world spun in front of his eyes It wasn’t just Chason either, Gregory was the sa looked pitifully at the two of theht, but… there’s no reason to do that if there’s an easier way
“You… did you h he couldn’t handle his own body, Gregory still spoke up
“That’s right Now do you understand the situation a bit?”
Chason and Gregory felt chills going down their back Chason and Gregory had kept the youngsters because they thought the youngsters would be useful, but now, they realized they had kept tiger cubs they couldn’t handle
“Well then… we don’t have a lot of tiet started? First, why don’t you tella war, leaders of organizations would turn all their ie it for money and hide them in places only they would now Why? Because money was more important than their subordinates
“What do you h!”
Chason shouted when Sieg’s blade stabbed hi smiled as he spoke
“Well, I didn’t think you’d tell et started?”
Sieg sory Their eyes were filled with fear and despair as they looked back
A new day dawned
Chason and Gregory, who had been called the back alley titans in the E had found the assets that these two had hidden and packed it all up As he was grabbing a heavy purse, he spoke
“This isn’t a bad start for ht, youcri
“What’re you gonna do now?”
“Well, first, I have to leave the capital If I stayed, I’m pretty sure I'd die”
He had killed the back alley titans, Chason and Gregory It wouldn’t be a smart decision if he continued to stay in the capital
“Where are you going?”
“I’ towards the Republic Since the boundary between classes is so thin, it’ll be helpful in getting ahead”
“You believe in your abilities that much?”
“Yes That and bribery”
Jake was du pointed towards the purse
‘He’s going to use that money to settle down in the Republic… Is that why he called it ht Chason ell above hiht of Chason as a stepping stone
‘We have different scales’
Jake realized that putting superiority in strength aside, he and Sieg were co
“What are you going to do once you get to the Republic?”
“I’ to rise to the top”
“And then what?”
Sieg reached out towards the rising sun and clenched his fist as if he was grabbing it
“”
Of course he couldn’t grab it
It was too far away and it was too valuable and great for it to be touched by huoing to take everything”
Sieg wanted it He had the a that was out of his reach
At that o with you?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Um… Well, so, I want to…”
“Of course you have to come with me Didn’t I tell you? You’re oing to put a leash on you and drag you with o, Jake Let’s leave behind our nao Let’s do it, you crazy bastard”
Jake got on the horse with Sieg
“Ah! It’s okay right now, but later on, make sure you talk to me politely and formally”
“Even if you killed nified? Alright, let’s changeyou, no!”
And so, the two boys left the capital of the Empire in order to leave behind their names in history
