Chapter 14 - SNAKE TONGUE

Out of annoyance, I let out my aura forcefully to push away the man wrapped around my arm. The man's face, which had been gentle before, turned the color of vinegar due to shock and fear. Because at the same time as I released my aura, my golden eyes flashed. Showing my anger and being uncomfortable with what the man did.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." He said while trembling.

I didn't answer. I just looked at the two men behind me before I let out a deep breath. I saw Jevro smirk while Alfonso stroked his glabella. Jevro had his hands in his pockets before he stepped closer to me, together with Alfonso.

"Wear your face mask. Don't remove it while inside this building. I'm afraid not only that Gwandy will do the same thing but also others." Alfonso said while tapping my shoulder.

The Gwandy that had approached me earlier quickly moved away after recovering from its fright and shock. Jevro, on the other hand, was still grinning as if it was a fool. However, now I know why he doesn't want to be comforted by other Gwandys. There are Gwandys like the man who suddenly appeared earlier. Too thirsty for the call of the flesh.

"I will pray that you meet a Gwandy who is not like the man before. Because if ever, you might lose your position if you accidentally kill your Gwandy. Haha!" Jevro is obviously teasing me but I don't give a fuck.

Why should I worry when I can comfort myself? What will the man's reaction be if he finds out that I am also a Gwandy and the only perfect match for him? Because of my thought, a silly smile was torn from my lips which did not escape Jevro's sight.

"The kind of smile you have is scary, bro. Don't worry, I'll take care of finding Gwandy who can be your comforter." Jevro said before walking back to our colleagues who will join the raid.

Alfonso followed us who was still busy writing on his note pad. When we entered the big room where everyone who was going to join the said raid was being trained, all eyes were fixed on me. I don't need to ask why or what the reason is because, I know or the three of us know that the people in front of us now want to know what is the level of my powers.

"En, I'll let you manage to find the perfect person for me." I told Jevro with low voice. "But as what I told you a while ago, don't tell anyone about the voice that talked to us. We have to be careful from now on." I also told him.

"I didn't forget that. But I hope you also didn't forget that you will be living with me starting tomorrow."

I want to laugh because of what he said. Why does Jevro's tone of voice sound like he's talking to his girlfriend? Wait, what about the man's private affair when we live together under the same roof?

My forehead furrowed deeply at the thought of that. However, maybe only after the training before I talk to him about that private matter. We have to concentrate on rehearsing in order to forcefully rush into the nest of the two-headed snake.

"En. Got it." I sparingly said.

I noticed a strange gaze coming from someone so I looked around to find out who was looking at me. In a corner of the room, Rowan was sitting next to a foreigner. The man's face was dark as he stared at me. Based on his aura, I know that I am already on the list of people he hates. Who cares? Just don't touch me and don't touch Jevro right in front of me. I'm used to living unknown to the Monsters Department. I can easily kill him if he confronts me face to face.

On the other hand, I also noticed Alistair approaching our place. The man was sweating and obviously quite tired. It may have taught a lot in the few moments that we were not here. He was staring at me seriously as he approached so I secretly swallowed.

"Glad your back. How was the evaluation?" The man asked as he approached me.

He also glanced at Alfonso next to me and Jevro afterwards.

"Unfortunately, we were unable to evaluate him due to the sudden release of the stone's mana. We tried again later but the stone had no reaction." Alfonso explained and lied while looking at the paper he was holding.

Alistair didn't say a word but kept looking at me. Does the guy still want to spar with me? if ever, what will he do with the result?

"We can't do anything about the sudden release of mana. It also happened to our stone." Alistair said. "But I still want to spar with you." He also added.

So what do I do now that he is still determined to spar with me? Shall I give? I don't know how strong the man is so my hands are also now itching to know the skills of this foreigner.

"Are you sure you want to spar with him? Yohan is new to the team and you're already the leader of a guild. Your skills compared to him are known worldwide." Alfonso said while scratching his head.

"Doesn't matter. I just want to know if I can make him the team leader. I plan to make five teams that will attack the nest. It's better that we surround the nest and not just one side. Jevro will be holding the 4th team together with other Malemyns and Gwandys." Alistair explained.

After all, the man's plan is good. But that also means that the group of American Malemyns will be together in one team. Besides that, Four countries are now working together for the raid. However Korea sent Gwandys.

In other words, only three countries loaned the Malemyns. If everyone is divided into five teams, isn't that too much of a disadvantage? Unless America supports the Asians Malemyns during the raid.

"Five teams? How many are there that will be joining the raid? As I said during the briefing, other monsters might also attack. And you want to divide the people by five teams?" I couldn't take it anymore so I asked.

""Yes. Philippines lent 30 Malemyns and 15 Gwandys. Korea sent us 30 Gwandys. Japan has 35 Malemyns and 10 Gwandys. And my countries decided to send a total of 122 Malemyns with different levels. Of course we have Gwandys too. What im trying to say is, each team has mixed members." Alistair explained.

"With the expected counts of monsters inside the nest, you're saying that we only have 187 fighters? Sir, are you underestimating the power of monsters?" Jevro also spoke. He sounds irritated and also cold.

"Them, are you underestimating yourself?" Alistair replied.

I saw how Jevro's fists clenched as his jaws gritted. Jevro really has a point so I don't understand Alistair's point either. Yes, we have powers. But it's not just monsters that we can fight against, those monsters have powers too!

"Huh..! I couldn't believe this. Jevro, don't tell me that you're afraid to fight? You're the number one Black Malemyns of our country yet you're hiding your tail between your legs?" Suddenly, Rowan appeared.

Not only is the tone of his words sharp but also his expression is obviously silly. However, Jevro ignored this and continued to talk to Alistair.

"Maybe you're forgetting, Monsters have levels too. Are you saying that you don't care about people's lives as long as you can show that you're strong? We're going to fight over 400 monsters. The number doesn't include the other monsters that will also join the fight . Then you're just going to send over 100 Malemyns? It's like you threw food to the fish." Jevro's words were sharp.

I can feel the tension between the two and I know Alfonso feels the same. Of those who can hear with a clear mind, we know they will side with Jevro. And Alistair also knew that because now the man's appearance and aura became more serious.

I can feel the tension in his muscles so I know that it will take a few moments to release the pressure.

"Jevro, the snakes we will be fighting are still babies. They are not that aggressive for the fight. But based on what you are saying now, it seems like you are already scared." Rowan said again.

"Huh.. Scared? Where is your brain go? Just because you have power now which actually not so powerful compared to mine, you can always think that you can easily underestimate your foes. Rowan, the reason you always do dirty tricks was because you're scared for face to face confrontation." Jevro finally face Rowan who are now turned pale.

And the tension rose up more. I can't let Jevro stain his own name. So I decided to speak. "Then, why don't we watch Jevro and Rowan spar?" I said expressionless. Everyone who heard me gasped.
