(Third Person's Pov)
"Hurry up and finish this all or else I will be the one who will survive in this place..." said Victor.
"Calm down, I am not here to kill you Victor..." said Alaric.
"Hm? What do you mean?" asked Victor, looking a little confused at what Alaric told him.
"Although, I think that you are not mentally stable or perhaps you have some ambitions behind your actions, right?" He asked.
"Who knows?" Victor began to mock him.
"Haha, you are funny... I like your personality..." said Alaric.
"But Alaric! He is!" Exclaimed Amelia.
"Don't worry Amelia, even if he has some other motivations, I think he still wants to destroy those organisations for the sake of his hidden plans perhaps. Am I wrong?" asked Alaric, for confirmation.
"Think whatever you want but I am just inspired by you, I also believe that justice should be served. However, my actions are unpleasant in many ways..." said Victor.
"Wow, I appreciate it. Thanks. So, Victor... I don't know what you really desire but if you seek to destroy them, the organisations, then we should work together as one." said Alaric while smiling gently.
Everyone, excluding Victor, were shocked about such a proposal Alaric made.
"Alaric! You know what you are talking about right?"
"Yes I do, Amelia. We need such type of people in our group to ensure our victory for the long term. Besides, our goals align with each other. I personally noticed and observed that Victor really plan to destroy them." replied Alaric.
"If you say so, I won't interfere. But please be careful around him, Alaric." said Amelia.
"Thanks for understanding and I will, surely, be cautious. So, don't worry." replied Alaric, smiling.
"I am ready to work with you Alaric, as long as you promise me, that you won't kill me after using me or sending me behind prison. That's my condition." said Victor.
"Woah woah, calm down. I don't intend to harm you and yes, I accept those conditions if you help us, of course. However, you must join us." said Alaric.
"I am not done yet, I will act on my own and whenever I need something, you will assist me with it." said Victor.
One of the five members, behind Alaric and Amelia, said-
"How dare you talk like that? You piece of shit! Do you even know who he is!"
"Calm down, Volt... I don't mind. Anyway, Victor, I accept those conditions as well. However..." said Alaric
"However?" asked Victor, looking a little curious to know on what Alaric is going to say.
"If your performance doesn't benefit us, I will have to handover you to the Cops." said Alaric.
"Hehehahah, Very well. It's a deal. " replied Victor, looking amused while accepting the condition of Alaric.
"Alaric! Are you sure about this? This man isn't a good news. You know what he did, right?" said Volt.
"I know what I am doing. Please, trust me Volt."
"Alright, I am accepting him as our member because I respect you Alaric."
"Thanks for co-operating with me and I appreciate your concern for me, Volt. You understand me very well just like Amelia and others."
Volt, upon hearing it, felt good to be praised by the leader of this group.
"Alaric, We should be moving now. Jef is after us. I mean, he followed me and Victor here." said Amelia.
"You won't be going anywhere..." A voice came behind Alaric.
Everyone to turned their attention toward the source of this voice, revealing that it is none other than Jef himself.
"Oh... You even called some reinforcements? To think, you work under Alaric as well." said Jef.
Jef thought that the real culprit is Alaric and also considered that Amelia is involved with him.
"Jef..."
"And he is?" asked Alaric, turning his on Amelia for seeking answer.
Amelia told him everything in brief about what happened at the Moonlight Feast Restaurant.
"So he is Jef... Looks like he is some kind of substitute of the Netori King, the former leader." said Alaric.
"I never thought you would be involved in this... I thought Weiss and you would not interfere anymore with our organisation... However, you took the opportunity and used your clever mind to attack the leaders." said Jef.
"Although I am the one who is trying to destroy your organization, I am not the one who killed your leader." replied Alaric.
"It's him, Victor." He continued, pointing his finger on Victor.
"Heh, I thought you would keep your mouth shut..." said Victor, seems to be more amused rather than fearing.
"I see....but that doesn't matter anymore. You all will be killed, you all are a threat for our organisation. After that, I will regrow this organisation and bring a new leader, someone who can surpass our previous leader." said Jef.
"Look who's saying, someone who is came here alone with no back up... You are the one who will be in trouble." said Volt, looking proud of what he replied with.
"...."
Jef gestured his men to come out from the shadows, who were waiting for Jef's signal.
About twenty of them, excluding Jef, are present from Zenin Organisation.
"You are the one who will suffer...." said Jef, looking calm.
" *Gulp* " Volt looked as if he regret saying those sentences he utter earlier.
"Perhaps, I should not have said that.... He took it too personally." he continued.
"Those twenty members aren't normal.... Something feels odd..."
"They are actually not from Zenin Organisation but Ghoul Collective. One of the three organisations. These members are actually..." said Jef.
Suddenly, every single member of Ghoul Collective turned into vicious monsters, these monsters seems to be too hungry... As if they have lust for bloods.
"Monsters...." said Jef.
"A-Alaric.... How cruel....you are!" exclaimed Amelia.
"Ghoul Collective's leader was introvert type yet more horrifying person. He had lust for blood, he was almost like Weiss. He liked to experiment for 24/7 on humans. These are not humans anymore but monsters..." explained Jef.
Suddenly, Victor remembered that there was a leader who was mostly silent. Not to mention, that leader was also given a last chance by Victor to survive in a head to head battle for two minutes. He remembered, how that leader had thrust his spear like a bloodlust.
