Chapter 227 The Kains coming for dinner (1/2)
Robert Kain the father of Evangeline was at the back of his car feeling a tad nervous. He was sweating a bit even thought the inside of the car was quite cold. He was also accompanied by his wife Molly Kain, who looked equally nervous. Even though she didn't know what kind of family the Samritas were, she knew that a family that could make her husband this nervous was no laughing matter.
The two of them were heading to the place were the Samaritas live, the two Kains were heading there to have dinner with the Samaritas. This was a family that wasn't only rich, but was led by a person who had actual fighting strength. In wealth alone, the Samaritas surpass the Kains, but not only that they surpass the Kains almost in all areas. Even the personal strengths of their people were far too different.
The only thing the Kains had an advantage in was that they had a long family history. They are one of the few existing families that were there during the creation of Berdonia. Aside from that history the Kains hold no advantage whatsoever to the Samaritas. In face of that overwhelming difference they had no words to say.
Not only that a close friend of the Samaritas will be dinning with them. It was none other than the Regius family. At first Robert didn't know anything about the Regius family, so he did a quick search about them. After a few minutes his subordinates found a lot about the Regius family. It would seem that they are a very famous family in the city.
The Regius were a martial arts family that has created a powerful barehanded martial art. The father in particular was a very famous individual. He was so famous that some of Robert's men who were former mercs immediately noticed who he was when they saw his picture. The moment those former mercs that were his bodyguards saw the picture of Dan Regius most of the started to tremble in fear, some even knelt and started to pray. While the others started to scream.
”It's the devil! It's the devil! It's the devil!”
Robert was confused as to why all these hardened veterans of the battlefield suddenly got so scared. The oldest one of them who wasn't panicking answered this question.
”In the battlefield there are some individuals that most mercs would run away from. There are the ten generals of the Empire. Then there are mythical mercs of the Shadow Mercenaries. Then the three saints of the Southern Union. Finally the five strongest of Berdonia, well some say that it's the seven strongest. Well that's not that important, what's important to know is that man Dan Regius is part of the five strongest of Berdonia. He is the one they called the blond devil.”
'Well that explains why the others keep on screaming devil in fright'
”Among the five strongest Dan Regius is the second most feared merc. He is only second to the strongest merc of Berdonia Lyner.”
”Does that mean he is the second strongest?” Robert asked wanting to gain a bit more knowledge about Dan. The former merc shook his head as he answered.
”That's not necessarily true. The number one spot obviously goes to Lyner, the so called monster of the battlefield. His strength is so above the others that spot would be handed to him by the other four willingly. Now the second strongest position is a bit confusing as to who owns the position, since among the four only Dan is known by the majority of the mercs. The other three exist but those who are targeted by them are killed in secret so not much is known of the three by normal mercs. Dan Regius on the other hand likes doing things out in the open, and those who witnessed his way of fighting barehanded in a place full of fully armed men was awe inspiring.”
