Chapter 38 – Talk amongst allies?

“Oh that. My plan is pretty straight forward. Grenton’s underworld is but the first step. My true plan is to rule over the whole underworld of the Reschbeauch Kingdom.”

When they heard Ren’s plan, all three of the former rulers of Grenton’s underworld had different reactions, but the one with greatest reaction was Valdel.

“Ren can we talk, over there for a bit.” Valdel signaled Ren to head towards the corner of the building they were in. As Valdel and Ren moved away Lara followed as well. When the three former rulers of Grenton’s underworld saw this, they looked at each other.

“What do you guys think of his plan?” Gregory was the first to break the silence.

“I have no objections as long as he grants me the increase of my mana, I will do my best to aid him.” Iselv was firm in his answer.

Kithra on the other hand was thinking about something, after awhile she spoke. “I think with his strength, not only the underworld of the kingdom I think he can take over the whole kingdom and the neighboring kingdoms as well.”

“So you you’re alright with following his plan?” Gregory looked at the sly woman called the succubus. This woman even in the face of overwhelming power was not someone to change her ways. She was a person that would scheme as much as she breaths. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

Kithra who saw Gregory’s serious gaze directed at her, smiled coquettishly. “What choice do we have? We either cooperate with him or leave Grenton. Leaving everything behind and heading to another city is not an option, since he plans to conquer the whole kingdom’s underworld. The only other option we have left is to move to another country, but who’s to say that he wont decide to conquer that as well. It would be better to simply serve him. If we join now, we will be his first subordinates, and he did promise us glory and power. Overall joining him doesn’t seem so bad.”

Gregory listened as Kithra explained how she came to her decision. When he heard what Kithra thought, Gregory started thinking as well.

‘I don’t care if he controls the whole underworld of the kingdom. The only thing I care about is if I can continue my job as an assassin…’

While the three rulers of Grenton’s underworld were having their little talk, Ren and his friends had a talk of their own.

“Ren what are you thinking? Do you really mean, what you just said? Do you really plan to rule over the whole of the whole Reschbeauch Kingdom’s underworld?” Valdel looked at his best friend with an expression full of confusion.

“Yes I do plan to control the whole underworld of the kingdom.” Ren responded with a matter of fact tone of voice.

“Why? Why do you want to rule over criminals? Why do you want to become the king of Reschbeauch Kingdom’s underworld? Just tell me, why Ren? As your best friend I want to believe in you… But my mind keeps on screaming at me. It keeps on warning me that you’re heading towards a path that I can never follow.”

Valdel’s voice sounded desperate, this was the first time Ren and Lara had seen Valdel like this. This guy Ren called his best friend might look and sound like a person who acts first and thinks later, but in truth he does understand what he is doing before acting. He does know the consequences he faces if does something, but Valdel always believed in his own justice never wavering.

He believes in his best friend who trained him. He believes in the righteousness his heart tells him. These things are what make Valdel sure about the actions he takes. Yet now two of those things were in direct conflict with each other. His heart of justice was saying something that denies what his best friend wants to do. So for the first time in a long while Valdel was confused on how to proceed.

Ren seeing his best friend look uncertain like the time they faced the red bear, made him couldn’t help but smile slyly.

“No need to worry Valdel. I simply want to become the ruler of the Reschbeauch kingdom’s underworld for the same reason why I wanted to become the ruler of Grenton’s underworld. I want to lessen the tragedies that happen. If I can control the whole underworld of the kingdom, then I will be able to control the flow of illegal drugs. I’ll be able to see the list of assassination targets and decide which to approve and which not to. I can even help the thieves find a more fulfilling job. The only reason why they even steal is because of their desire to live. Well the reason why everyone in these kinds of organizations do anything is simply because of their will to live.”

Ren looked at his confused best friend as his smile got even wider.

“Or are you telling me Val, you the future strongest hero, doesn’t believe that these people deserve redemption?”

“That’s not what I mean… I… Hmm… I see… I understand what you want to do now Ren. This is the second time I questioned your decision… Even though I call myself your best friend.”

Valdel bowed his head in front of Ren.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s always better that you think for yourself. That’s better than blindly believing in everything I say. So in truth I’m happy that your starting to have your own opinions Val. It’s obvious that we wont always agree with each other; and like I said in the past, your path and my path are different. No need to follow each and every one of my whims.”

‘You need to have a stronger heart and mind than that, if you want to break the chains of destiny. Still don’t worry my foolish heroic friend, like I promise before I will help you go against the script. This is just part one of the plan to go against that stupid script written by those irritating Gods and Goddesses.’

Hearing what Ren said, Valdel could only nod his head accepting what his best friend said. The paths they have taken was different so there was no need to always comply with the ideals of the other. Simply understanding each other was good enough.

Once the three friends, well basically once the best friends finished talking they went back to speak to the former three rulers of Grenton’s underworld.

“So where was I?… Oh right will you join me Gregory?” Hearing Ren’s question Gregory looked intensely at Ren’s smiling face.

“I… I will join you.” When Ren heard Gregory’s answer he started clapping.

“That’s great! Now that the three of you are my subordinates, let’s act quickly. The first order of business is, I want you Kithra to stop your men from selling illegal drugs. Instead we will start buying and selling information.”
