Chapter 2 - Roll call

Blake really hates work and it's clear on his face but he still needs the cash it was the only thing that made him even think of coming here to the damn meeting

-if only I was a billionaire I wouldn't have to put up with this shit I'll be able to not care about saving people for the damned organisation -

Blake was arrogant superficial and egotistic by nature so he never followed corporate rules or attended the meetings but today his job was threatened so he couldn't ignore it

( Despite his name, Blake isn't one very cool guy that you readers would love. Nah Blake is a bastard and would always be so he's to large even to be your MC)

Blake never left home without his 'kit' which he stored all his accessories and stuff. But the organisation was really cruel with Their meeting rules so he had to leave it down with the receptionist and he didn't like it one bit and he made sure everyone new he was upset

Neil was probably the calmest person in the world and nothing ever got him bothered and why should it.

He's older than most operatives but better than most

He is the only one of the staff that the board never bosses around cause they all respect him

If there was any unlikable quality of his it was his level of tolerance. Some people never understood why he spends his time with Blake or why he spends months tracking a single beast but they don't complain cause if he's asked he'll tell you that patience gives you sight or something as vague as that

Overall Neil is the exact opposite of Blake

'damn it where are Ur officers up Kruger!? We've been waiting for them for the past hour!!'

'i assure you there on their way infact they'll be coming through that door soon '

' I agree with Thomas we can't be made to wait because of mere operatives. I'm leaving if I d...'

Bang . The door swung in as if hit by a siege ram and a tiny man who seemed to be on the verge of wetting himself blurted out hurriedly

's s sir their here' and ran out

"you call that an entrance! Nah I can one up that" Blake said as he dashed towards the now open door

Swish! his boots slid on the smooth tiles of the office. Bang! He dropped his huge axe on the ground and left it embedded there then looked around at the faces of the people seated around

"hey Blake you couldn't get all of them to face you ' said the earlier voice. A man in a hood and jeans walked in 'meanwhile my little stunt made even the chief concerned "

"argh shut it Damien the chief is a stiff and you only won because you had suprise on your side "

"mmhm " Damien hummed mockingly

"What are you even doing here I mean who even are you "

"I'll answer that " general Kruger said interrupting and abruptly stopping the conversation between the two

"So ? Who is the midget? Or where you not going to say?"

"That's rude "

"Next one to talk leaves " Thomas says fuming "are these all of them?"

" No we're expecting..."

"Sorry to interrupt but I'm here already " Neil says from the other side of the room

"When did you get in ?" Everyone asks

Well I got here almost simultaneously as the person that was thrown in and I've been waiting to speak but you've all been arguing so I've been quiet and watching

"Ooh yes please take a sit Neil" Kruger says pointing to the chairs flung away by the door

Neil does so and straights the door afterwards then seats and looks at everyone in the now awkward situation. He looks up and notices then smiles " well. Wat are we waiting for let's get seated"

Everyone standing or previously shouting promptly gets themselves to seem as proper as possible

"Shall we begin?" A female that sits beside the chief

"No, there's someone le..."

Another person comes through the door, the one still on its hinges

A very pretty woman walks in. Looks around, scuffs takes a sit and plop down on it besides the rest

"Now we can begin" Kruger says "General secretary please proceed"

The lady that was previously interrupted stands up and takes out her phone and fiddles with it for a while then the door and the other empty space start glowing

" We can now begin. The silence bubbles prevent our conversation from passing this room "

" I shall now introduce the persons present. From my right. The chief of this organisation the beast extermination unit of the united states of America Kruger, the legal representative from the council of nations Grace , the major general Thomas the third,... And finally the chosen members of this organisation. For the introduction of these I would use accomplishments instead of honorifics. Neil wai Yang the first person to ever slay a chaos beast single handedly." At that the whole room turned to face the humble man who just smiled back "Blake McCartney he's the only foreigner in this branch of the organisation and the strongest person ever recorded amongst all beast slayers he has also encountered a chaos beast and warded it away , Elissa Arlen daughter of the currently absent captain of the united nations retaliation force she led the first alpha response team into battle and stopped five core beasts and their rampaging legion. Finally our new intake who has shown incredible competence he by himself ended the century mall incident successfully eliminating over 50 essence beasts and an unconfirmed number of core beasts"

Now for the objective of this meeting
