In the abandoned park!
Rouseph arrived with a large team, including Pietro, who was waving and sitting on the side.
"Do you really think you won't be punished for such insubordination?" - Rouseph asked coldly.
"You are insisting on picking a fight with people of unknown power who only want to sell weapons that will help our agents survive all this hell we are living!
In case we make them our enemies, what's to stop them from going to another country or continent, then selling their items there?" - Pietro snorted.
"Regardless, they are unknown and we can't trust them just because they sold some weapons and armor to the Order, if they want trust, they need to earn it!" - Rouseph snorted.
Pietro nodded, it's like Juri said, Rouseph can't be trusted.
"I don't know why you protect these women so much, you are putting the whole Order at risk! You don't even know if these items have any tricks!" - Samirah at the side snorted.
Pietro decided to ignore her, his eyes landing on a ring Juri had given him, which by her words, avoids rituals of [Lie Detection], she got it from a certain Skayler.
...
Hours later!
Rouseph stood with his arms crossed, 4 Special Level Agents just behind, including Pietro with an indifferent expression.
Soon 3 figures appeared, no glitter or anything, they simply appeared about 20 meters away from them!
The 4 Agents were surprised, 3 were on alert.
Rouseph frowned, he saw the 3 coming, but still, it was too fast!
Rouseph looked at the woman in the center, exposing a lot of skin and looking very relaxed, with a mask that had a distorted, yellow smile on it.
Soon his eyes landed on the elegant knight who, just by being there, made the surroundings more icy, even the ground under her feet froze a little.
Then his eyes landed on the figure with half of her face exposed, those short silver hair, the aura she exudes... it is simply a mystery.
For Rouseph, he felt that the most dangerous of the 3, was this silver haired one.
"I see I was right, didn't I say they would try something? The guys are armed to the teeth!" - Said Juri laughing pointing at them, he soon noticed Pietro and said. - "Hi Pietro!" - She waved her hand.
"Enough clowning around, who are you?!" - Shouted Rouseph exuding a powerful aura.
"Wow, what a boring guy!" - Said Juri exaggeratedly feigning some fear.
"Well big guy, does who we are really matter? If we are hiding our faces, it means we do not wish to be bothered!" - Said Juri shrugging.
"To me you are a bunch of terrorists who have large amounts of weapons and ammunition, I may as well use that and botch your heads 3 for the entire Aurea Order of this continent!" - Snorted Rouseph.
"Well, then you would be forced to give more details, they would sooner or later find out about the items I sold them, get curious and soon come to me wanting to buy, give me protection and so on, I don't think that's a threat." - Said Juri laughing, causing Rouseph to frown.
"What is your goal?" - Rouseph asked coldly.
"Well... I want to accumulate a lot of money, so I can then buy land somewhere, where I'll settle there, but while I gather that money, I can help my beloved Aurea Order get stronger and deal with some shitty Occultists!" - Said Juri with his palms together touching his face tilted to the side.
"So why interact with Pietro?" - Rouseph asked.
"Because I don't like you!" - Said Juri pointing at him.
"May I know why?" - Rouseph frowned.
"Patriotism, I hate very patriotic people, even more those with political power, who always use pretty words for the good of their nation, only to do all kinds of shit in the end, like abandoning some comrade, killing innocent people and so on, saying it's for the good of the nation, you fit that kind of person, that's why I don't like it!" - Said Juri shrugging.
Rouseph clenched his teeth and fists hard.
"What? You want to fight? Know that you 4, plus the dozens of Mid and High Level Agents hiding from the surroundings, preparing various useless rituals and aiming with weapons, all useless!" - Juri said.
As soon as she said that, the 4 in front looked at Pietro.
"Do you think he said something to me? Meh, don't even worry, it's just that it was already so obvious, if Mr.
Pietro reported to you about my dear family, he must have said about us being very strong, naturally we have detection methods, I know you have exactly 83 Agents spread out!" - Juri said yawning.
"Not to mention that if a fight breaks out, Mr. Pietro will stay out of it, we are best friends, he won't hit me, I helped him get younger and stronger, you wouldn't do that to me, right?" - Juri asked leaning in and making a cute voice.
"I will maintain my neutrality, for me this operation is useless!" - Said Pietro walking away and sitting down beside him.
Rouseph was furious, but soon forced a smile as he looked at Juri.
"I admit this is quite chaotic and confusing, but tell me you wretch, why shouldn't I kill you right here and now?" - Rouseph was already exuding great power.
"Well... why can she kill you before that?" - Said Juri pointing at Rouseph, who was confused before he felt something touch his neck.
Looking up, Rouseph saw Ikiria standing next to him, a cold Katana touching his neck.
"I think Pietro told him that I'm the strongest, well... unfortunately that's not the case, the strongest is [Shadow], only he didn't know that, it's normal, no one expects that from the cute little [Shadow]!" - Said Juri laughing.
Soon several lasers started targeting the trio, especially Ikiria.
"If I were you, I'd ask them to put their guns down, blades don't have eyes and she's covering hers." - Juri said laughing.
Rouseph stopped looking at Ikiria and focused his eyes on Juri.
"Are you wanting a war?" - He asked snorting.
"No, I want friendship and cooperation, you're the one who keeps threatening me and wanting a fight!" - Juri said.
"Friendship? I'm not the one who first pulled the sword!" - Snorted Rouseph.
"But what sword?" - Asked Juri, Rouseph looked up and noticed Ikiria standing next to her.
Rouseph clenched her fists, this is getting out of hand.
"Understand, the reason they are alive, is because I don't want to kill them, because it will make those shitty Occultists happy, creating a home for them to sacrifice people and etc., I really don't desire that, so you killing and arresting those shits, is excellent for me!" - Said Juri relaxed.
"If that's the case, why not join the Order?" - Shouted Samirah.
"Because I do not wish my identity to be discovered, I do not wish my techniques to be filed away and taught to people I do not like or know, I have no problem selling equipment, but I will not sell my methods.
Not to mention I do not wish to lose my freedom, nor to be sent on annoying and insignificant missions, I have better things to do!" - Juri said yawning.
"Unfortunately we can't agree, you are 3 unknown women with unknown power levels, the danger you provide is too high, we can't take any chances!" - Rouseph said.
"Can you not take risks, or do you only want benefits? I am someone capable of creating hunting grounds to surely increase Paranormal Exposure, Mr. Pietro is an example of this, one of the reasons you want us alive!
We are able to create extremely powerful paranormal items with magical effects that greatly amplify physical abilities just by equipping the items.
We practically are a group with 2 extremely valuable and beneficial methods for the Braast Nation's Golden Order, like the patriotic trash that you are, you do not wish to give neighboring countries or other Golden Orders the opportunity to receive this, am I correct?" - Juri laughed disdainfully.
"You talk too much, don't let your creativity go that far, you are a danger, that's what matters!" - Snorted Rouseph ready to start the attack.
"Unfortunately nothing will happen!" - At that moment a quiet voice sounded, Rouseph felt it familiar.
Soon he looked up and saw an old man approaching, accompanied by 7 other individuals.
"That... what are you doing here?!" - Rouseph shuddered, his eyes wide.
"I have notified them!" - Pietro said suddenly.
"You? You betrayed me?" - Rouseph clenched his fists.
"I have never been loyal to you, I work and sacrifice my life for the good of the people and the nation, I have never been in agreement with your method of managing the Aurea Order in our country.
Because you prefer to hide important content from other countries and don't want to ask for help, many good and talented agents have been killed, many innocent people have been massacred, one example is this park!
A National Level paranormal event occurred here, thousands died and a Bone God came to this place, thousands of people were exposed, all killed or murdered by Order agents, to diminish the Other Side from further affecting our country...
you preferred to sacrifice hundreds of innocents involved in this chaos!" - Pietro shouted angrily.
Rouseph was filling with even more fury, as this is a very shameful event for him and the Order.
Few know, only he, those involved that include Pietro.
Many difficult decisions have been made, he has had to stain his hands a lot here, but Rouseph believes he is right.
At that moment the old man stood between Juri and Rouseph, Pietro walking up to him.
The old man looked at Rouseph and said. - "We already knew about this, we just didn't know the details, Pietro informed us and I am disappointed.
Recently came into my hands some of the magical items these women sold to the Order, but even after so long I have received no formal report, not even a request for help to investigate such a matter further.
So after this little show, I come to know for sure that as an agent of the Order, you are not qualified, you cherish your own benefits and the good of the country, ignoring the Aurea Order as a whole, an organization made to be neutral and helping to deal with paranormal events!"
"You say it as if I am the only one! How many of you don't hide things from others? Why should I expose everything I have and have conquered?
As for me not being qualified, I never cared, I only care about the good of my country and nation, I have lived here for almost 2 centuries, sacrificed so much for the Order, lost so many people, to in the end what? To receive a pat on the back and continue killing myself?!
Serving my country, I was able to improve the lives of my Agents, I received extra support from the police and military, the Aurea Order of Braast Country is the biggest and best of this continent! That's why we have fewer paranormal events!" - Shouted Rouseph angrily.
"Indeed, but you don't seem to realize that by doing this, Braast has become a focus of quality and not quantity?" - Said the old man snorting coldly.
"The event in this park is an example, a Bone God being born, in the last 50 years, the amount of Special and National Level Paranormal threats, in this country are the highest!
So in other countries there have only been 1~3 of these events in the 50 year period, here there have been 8 of these events, could be more, since you have made a point of falsifying many reports!" - Said the old man coldly.
Rouseph frowned, that is true, but he sees this as a success!
"But the major focus is not the Paranormal events, but the ease with which information about the Other Side leaks to terrorists and criminals in this country, a recent event, of a gang in a small town nearby, who were interacting with Blood Creatures.
Hundreds of people died, including the so-called Chinchilla Team of 8 Low Level Agents, talented people killed in the investigation, dozens of policemen killed, and even the army had to interfere!" - The old man growled angrily.
"Accidents happen!" - Snorted Rouseph, which only irritated the old man.
"Well, we talk a lot, but-" - Juri wanted to interfere, that's when his cell phone rang, it's a special cell phone that he uses for special things.
She even developed a simple little artificial intelligence to notify her of important things.
But she wasn't the only one to receive something, other Order agents came running scared.
Juri looked and frowned, then said. - "Something serious is going on! Let's stop this matter for now!"
"What happened?" - The old man asked seriously.
"It just went into social media all over the world, paranormal videos and reports! Apparently this is on every channel too! HELL!" - Juri roared and everyone was shocked.
"Some bastard is out to destroy the fucking world!" - Shouted Juri angrily.
