[Bkl 234, Greenhand St]

Goatelle Hotel,  Presidential Suite top floor. 

"CHEERS! "

"Congratulations,  your win is now guaranteed, the citizens greatly admired you! "

"Hehehe,  perish the thought,  Win is not guaranteed as long as I am not yet to become a president in this country. "

Four men with age differences,  drinking such fine expensive alcohol; drunk at the same time as the person gave a humble yet not-so-response. 

"The underworld will now finally be at your hand since the White Lily is gone,  you can now go all out,  no one will block our way. "

"And that wouldn't happen if you three did not accept my proposals. "

"hehe,  only a foolish person won't accept such big benefits. "

They continue drinking,  happily chatting to their heart's content. 

Ferdinand Bren Cardigan who was already in his 60s enthusiastically drink alcohol not minding his health. 

He places the glass on the table before opening his mouth. 

"When I become a president,  I will use money to buy the government itself,  I will have authority in this country...  I will make sure that the underworld will benefit greatly... "

"and we won't have to hide our business once you become the president Mr.  Cardigan. "

"of course,  and As I promise,  your business,  and own territory in this country will be yours,  reigning the place you have wanted to take. And transporting some goods,  anything that brings flourish to our business to another country will be handled well and no one will be able to do a thing. "

"If the white lily,  who controls the underworld balance is still here,  none of this will happen.  It is a great time that such a disaster comes in and uses that to get rid of her and of course, the merit of killing that disaster becomes ours instead of that bitch. "

Said the brown-haired handsome man who was playing with the glass of alcohol then continue. 

"it is a shame that she's gone and did not even have a taste of her. "

He sighed while the others chuckled,  indeed if it weren't for the sudden appearance of a SS Rank Void:  Atlas,  it will give them a long time to get rid of Glynda. 

"Yes,  and we benefit a lot and take all the credit that the others put an effort to,  and they have no choice but to keep quiet on it. "

"It's not like they have the will to do so. "

"Exactly. "

They all laugh and cheer for the success that they planned. 

A moment later they soon get drunk and started gibbering some not-so-understandable words. 

The brown-haired man soon stands up while being wobbly. 

"Well,  it was a great time,  even though I don't want to go yet,  I have to go home for my annoying wife will start to get suspicious. "

"When will you get rid of her? "

The other person who was slowly getting drowsy said unconsciously. 

"Once I inherit her father's fortune,  I will get rid of her silently,  she is growing suspicious of the moves that I'm afraid I will be soon found out about. "

"... Then let me help you,  it will be a clear mission. "

"hehe,  then I will contact you tomorrow. "

"Goodbye, Sir Cardigan,  Sir Browen,  and lastly who is now asleep, Sir Cristian. "

He soon left the room leaving the two who were still awake staring at the door. 

"despite having such a gentle face,  he is a vicious and cunning man,  I pity his wife for not realizing how he was slowly pulling towards ruin. "

"We've been through in that position,  however, I must agree,  he is better than my foolish son who only keeps screaming. "

Ferdinand said with disappointment that can be seen in his eyes. 

"Well,  he plans to propose a marriage proposal to Carlsweiss Family using his daughter. "

"That daughter by that,  that bitch offspring?"

"Yeah,  however, how will he do that is up to his competence. "

"what do you mean? "

"his daughter has a ridiculous little maid who seems far stronger and smarter than him,  his arrogance will be his downfall. "

"hehe,  why are you worried about the little maid, it's just a girl who seems like the same age as his daughter. "

"Humans aren't what they seem to be. "

"hmm~ I kay want to meet this little maid and to know why are you being wary. "

"I am just following my instinct. "

"hahaha!  Surely you jest,...  Hmm,  is it possible for his daughter to get that bloodline? "

Ferdinand stop and started to think before saying.

"... That is indeed true,  I wonder how the Octavia family will move,  hm,  we must take custody of that thing before the Octavia get a handle on it,  I must help my son to this,  that thing will be a great puppet... "

While chatting,  outside of the hotel,  the brown-haired man was in a parking lot humming happily. 

Once he was close to his car,  he saw a beautiful who looks like drunk wobbly walking towards his car. 

Soon,  he saw the beautiful girl looking down while trying to open his car. 

He smirked and head towards the location. 

"hello pretty lady,  it seems you are mistaking my cars for yours. "

"... Eh?  Mh-mistaken...? "

The woman looked at him which stunned him because her appearance is too mesmerizing. 

Chestnut hair and a pair of beautiful green eyes,  she looks so soft with her doe eyes were moist and blurry due to being drunk. 

What's more,  he notices that the woman has a beautiful pair of long legs exuding her beautiful appearance. 

Adding the fact of her round melon that is almost visible because of her clothes being u properly aligned. 

He silently whistle at such a beautiful sight and couldn't help but reach the woman on her shoulder. 

The woman instantly stiffened and looked at him with moist eyes and a confused expression. 

The man smirked but spoke gently. 

"how about you come inside the car?  Tell me your address and I will help you to get there. "

"... No,  I'm sorry,  it seems I mistake my car for yours,  it is just nearby so... "

"Miss,  you are so drunk,  you might get into an incident. "

"... But... "

"I am Luke, by the way,  Luke Barghast. "

"... Lune?"

"Haha...  It's Luke beautiful lady. "

"Mr.  Luke...  I'm sorry... Hiccup,  but... "

"Please,  I cannot help but be worried,  I can't just turn a blind eye to a woman who seems about to collapse at any moment. "

"but...  Hiccup... Fine,  I'm deeply sorry for the trouble...  I'm...  Natasha...  Natasha Crystoff. "

"Natasha?  What a beautiful name suited to you who is so beautiful. "

"Oh my... "

Natasha looked down embarrassed by what Luke said, Luke noticed her ears are red and had the urge to quickly eat her up but endure it. 

(Later...  I will have a good time,  I should look for a place where no people will come. )

" Please enter. "

"... Thank... You... "

Natasha went inside the back seat,  she looks out the window and slowly fell asleep. 

Luke saw this and started to laugh silently. 

"How foolish. "

Maybe she was so drunk that her guard is too low, however. 

"it is unfortunate for you to meet me. "

He licked his lips and entered the front seat,  and started the car. 

However... 

Someone suddenly covered his mount and pulled him back exposing his Adam's apple and neck. 

He widen his eyes but Luke couldn't react as he felt the sudden pain in his neck. 

His throat was slit flawlessly without him realizing it. 

Luke looked at the mirror and saw Natasha's cold eyes staring at him at the same time,  he saw that his neck was slit and blood flowing down to his expensive clothes. 

He struggled,  grabbing Natasha's hand that covered his mouth but has no strength to pull it out. 

He saw two passersby come and tried to shout but failed. 

Luke slowly gets weakened and lost the will to struggle until his eyes lost their light. 

Natasha then leans his head to the steering wheel. 

She looks outside and saw that the two passersby is now nowhere to be seen. 

Natasha silently went out and walked away from the scene. 

Her appearance soon changes to a mature woman with an employee's work clothes. 

Red Vest,  white long sleeve, and black pants, with a gentle face and an angelic smile with adorable almond eyes, brown hair tied in a bun, blue oceanic eyes,  and a nametag. 

Back to the scene at the presidential suite,  top floor. 

Ferdinand sighed at the scene he was seeing,  his two partners are now on the sofa sleeping while snoring. 

He coldly glared at the two and said 

"as if I will let you guys reign this country will be mine alone,  but not yet,  it is not the time to get rid of you guys,  you still have some use. "

He then reach for the remaining alcohol and poured it into his glass. 

He was about to drink it but knocks suddenly came in. 

"Room Service. "

A soft and beautiful gentle voice was heard that came outside,  however, Ferdinand knitted his brows and hide his left hand to his back. 

He created a dagger made of light and open the door. 

But he soon relaxes as a woman who is in working clothes greets him with a pretty and innocent smile. 

There he saw that she was with a trolley with food. 

(She seems like not a threat,  weird, I should be wary however this woman looks weak. )

Ferdinand let his guard down and ask in confusion. 

"I don't remember ordering something. "

"Oh,  Yes,  this is a farewell gift to Mr.  Luke before he went out. "

"... I see. "

Ferdinand has doubt,  he doesn't know why,  something is bugging him...  All of his hair has risen and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. 

He looks at the woman right beside him who tilted her head with an innocent smile. 

He shakes his head and says. 

"...  Go inside and place the food there,  and how much is it? "

"umm.  This is already paid. "

"Oh. "

Ferdinand smiled and found out that Luke already paid for the food. 

He shakes his head but is still wary of his surroundings. 

If worst comes to worst,  he will use the woman right in front of him. 

"thank you for your service Ms...  Junel. "

[Junel Meinne] was the name that is written on the name tag,  he remembered her name. 

"not at all,  I am only working,  thank you for staying in this hotel. "

"Hm. "

Junel then bowed 90 degrees at him and say. 

"Well then.... "

Junel smiled at him with an angelic face and an innocent smile before saying. 

"Goodbye. "

Ferdinand blinked and saw that blood was on Junel's cheek. 

He suddenly felt pain in his stomach, Ferdinand looks down and saw a hand with a dagger stabbing his body,  in the solar flexus. 

He look at Junel shockingly but felt that she twisted the dagger and pulled it upward. 

Coughing up blood he was about to attack her but widen his eyes. 

The woman who looks innocent she wouldn't do something like killing has nowhere to be seen. 

What Ferdinand is seeing now is a familiar appearance that brings a shiver down his spine. 

Ear-length silver hair,  a faceless mask, and formal clothes. 

"E-Echid-"

He didn't finish calling her, Echidna,  or Jun's delicate hand that used to stab Ferdinand; pushing his body lightly until he fell on the floor. 

Jun then walk towards the door, closes it, and heads towards the kitchen leaving Ferdinand who was coughing with blood with his dear life. 

Ferdinand couldn't move,  he felt weakened for some reason. 

He knew that this attack won't kill him quickly and can even do a counter however,  he is slowly getting weak. 

"p-poison...? "

He was inhaling and exhaling while forcefully moving and leaning against the walls. 

He glared at the kitchen and soon smell a familiar scent. 

(g-gas...!!!) 

Then he saw Echidna or Jun leaving the kitchen,  she lifted the two unconscious men at the same time and place them in the kitchen. 

Later,  Echidna headed towards him and looked down at him without saying anything. 

"y-you dare... ! "

Echidna did not speak and lifted him without gentleness and threw him at the same spot as the two unconscious men. 

"You lots... Cough wake up! "

To no avail the two were too drunk to wake up,  Ferdinand then glared at Echidna who was about to go out. 

"Are you ...  Huff... doing this for such stupid ...revenge!? "

Jun stop from her step and then back,  she looked at the man who was responsible for her master's death. 

"it will be a lie if I said No, however,  not anymore. "

"what... Huff... Do you mean... ? "

"I am doing this for my lady's safety. "

"What... ? "

Ferdinand shallowly at the realization. 

"Although,  revenge can also be a part of this mission,  and,  also it is time for you to rest,  old man.  You are old now. "

After saying that,  she left. 

"ha... Haha... Hahahaha...! "

Jun open the window and close it again. 

Jumped down with threads slowing her downfall. 

Feeling the air as she was falling,  jun poured mana on the Echidna's thread creating a fire that quickly spread until it reach the top floor of the hotel where the three were. 

Soon,  at the exact time of her landing on the ground explosion was heard creating a commotion. 

She left as if nothing happen. 

Not minding the running of people,  scream, and shouts.
