IDOLIZING CHAOS

Don't kill her!

   Krush turned his focus from the battle and looked at his shivering hands. He wondered whether what he felt was Excitement for battle or fear for the unknown growth this monster would have in the future if left alone.... Maybe he should end things here. 

 But it was evident that he relish such barbaric gory battle in front of him. This would make every Warriors' blood boil and he was no saint either, no one could reach the same realm as him and not go through trails of fire leaving a mountain of dead bodies with each step. 

  "A-ha? It's been so long I fought a gruesome battle that I even kind of miss the dirtiness of it... Now, the apex of this fare should be reached by now right.. How long exactly can this kid hold before getting exhausted "

  c***k! 

   Lhaw's left humor popped out of his shoulder after he and Aeries punches intersected each other, not wanting to let any moment go to waste, Aeries dove headfirst and pummeled Lhaw's abdomen with his head and proppeled himself outwards. He stood back straight and watched Krush if he'll give any signal for them to stop, unfortunately it seemed the said Krush was wrongfully absorbed in their fight, his eyes not leaving any motion they made. Do he decided to call off this Farce 

 "Oi, Lhaw Kun.. Let's stop it as this.. A draw don't you think, I'll need your continue the Conversation I wanted to have with Mr Krush here.. "

   "AHHHHH! " 

   Aeries was buffulled, He saw a Bloodied mangled Lhaw running forward again to continue the battle and he suddenly became anxious. 'Why does this setting look like am the bad guy now. Dude I've already said let's end in a draw, why go further eh!?'

 f**k! 

  He punched out with a measure force to deter the craze bastard which unfortunately seem to enrage him the more.. 

   'Really, seems I need to make him sleep'

 And thus began this boxing competition, Aeries rained out punches to his face and occipitital region without giving Lhaw any chance for a comeback. Times went for the worst when Crazy Lhaw started using his claws and Teeth to claw at Aeries, infuriating him to no end. 'Why are you looking at me like am the bad guy, and then you're the unrelenting Hero or Main Character. Wake up dumbass!'

 "Give up Lhaw, you obviously don't have the power to defeat him, nonetheless my ancestors, Give up and apologize to the dead"

    At one point Lhaw looked he had realized his fault. Settling down and behaving aggrieved. Aeries saw this and sighed in his heart, Lhaw was a weak willed man, with just one set back he's already aggravated and dissapointed as hell 

  'These are the kind of people that result to the sneakiest means of winning their fights after one set back. Truly a-"

 Whether by chance or unconscious reflex, Aeries turned to advice the previously upbeat fellow, Just in time to see him sped up with something that reeks of poison mixed with his Smoke is a Path animated snake. 

  Aeries immediately followed up and activated 100% of his Golden Slay Fist ready for the incoming attack as he mocked himself for his mistake 

 'Even after watching lots of deep betray and strategy movie in my past life, I still couldn't predict how fast their change from good to sneaky happens. Truly dim witted'

 "Stop! Both of you put off your attacks." Finally, Krush rose up and seemingly appeared in their midst, Aeries eyes narrowed with sharpness at this sight, his eyes couldn't follow at all. Fervent desire to reach such heights radiated from his every self.

 "B-But, Krush I still haven't-"

  "Don't be a disgrace to your House Lhaw, Using poison to bring down his awareness can distablised him for lifeml. That is the one of the most despicable acts to be done on a mock battle, unfit for entertainment and grading of your powers cannot be be based on that."

  "Aeries did exactly that too. Didn't he start the fight without giving me a chance to prepare?" Although Lhaw grumbled, he still couldn't see the truth from his senior's mouth, his once red eyes became normal and dizziness washed over him. 

  "What can you not understand eh! Rely on external bodies in a friendly fight without the other person having one is already a taboo. Did Aeries do that, Eh? 

  Right. Son of Kriegar... Don't you still have something to talk about? Let's go my private meeting room"

    "Right lets "

 .........

 "Oho? You have loot to sell? How big is it exactly, I thought it was a request you wanted to make" Although Krush said that with a straight face, his meaning was clear.. He thought Aeries wanted to plea for support or help to protect himself. 

  "Ha Ha Ha, No need to have that deep frown Krush I'm going there soon. Know the saying Pleasure before Business. He he he, Let's speak about something more productive first."

     "So what do w-want.. T-this. From Red Blood Forest? How deep did you go?" Krush became dumbfounded again when Aeries Brought out loot.

 "Aiii,  You're very knowledgeable Krush, True this are forgotten treasures from The Red Blood Forest."

  The term Forgotten Treasures was basically just loot from dead bodies and precious stones and other resources. 

   "Let me see. Where did you get it. People stronger than you have Scrounge through all the outer region and yet you were still oppurtuned to make this kind of discovery."

      "Seller's secret. Those Strong powerhouses that ventured to the Red Blood Forest, did they ever go to the inner region?"

 Krush who was looking at the mountain of diverse items one-by-one Shivered in cold fright agencies he heard this question "The powerhouses had made only an hour walk into the inner forest. Before hell let loose. Of about 400 people all above the Martial Great General, only 16 made it back. Put it simply the Under region is a hell on Blue wing. As far as you don't poke it, it won't spill on you.. But if you do..."

  "I understand, with every mountain, there must be knew even higher."

"Good, it's good you understand. Now the net gain from all your proceeds is 100,000 imperial gold, it can be changed to Gold cards. 1000 gold is equivalent to 1 purple card. I suggest you use a purple card since the card can be used in almost every empire in the continent. This will be delivered to you at your designated residence 2 days later. Do you agree?"

   The question woke the once poor Aeries from his stupor. *R-right, I agree, why wouldn't I. Just.. Don't deliver it to me, a simple message would be enough. I'll come get it here myself."

 "Good, so whatever do you want to talk about?"

    "A co operation, I need man power.."

" You should know that you're not the first to ask for such deal from me, and I'll tell you the same thing I did to them, four words; strict rules, can't pass" Krush said with a disappointing smile

  "However Krush... That was only stated for man power in battle, for war or to use for protection... I need something different from you"

   "Oho, what could such man power be used for if not for attack or defense?"

 "For labour obviously"

  "Aiih! I didn't get you clearly" Krush spoke out with a very high tone, what obvious fallacy. Trained soldiers and die hard warriors to be used for labour? Go die! 

  "Don't mistake me Master Krush... I need to borrow your eyes and ears... The intelligence and dark pavilion"

 PTEI

 Krush spat out the tea on his mouth and let out series of coughs. 

  'How did he know about this..'

"T-this, where did you hear this from?"

"I don't need to hear from anywhere to know that you alone cannot garner all information by yourself, and your words proved something to me. It shows that obviously you have a set network that brings information for you. And also it is totally under your control, although the Empire set people that could not be controlled by you in every set corner of your manpower. Am right till here right Krush?"

  "Go on... "

"Right I do not want to take this precious hand from you. What I want is for you to make some reconnaissance for me, just two things I need news of, and I'll pay for everything"

   "just this? Isn't there anything you want?"

"Right . Another thing, please don't kill her"

 "Whatever do you mean, Young Aeries" Krush said with fake confusion while narrowing his eyes. 

 "No need to pretend, you obviously let her watch this match and know so much info.. Obviously she can't live here breathing again."

  "He he, Your really interesting Aeries. With such intelligence you should know why I can't let her go, if it'll make you feel better, she isn't a good cupboard that you think. Long story short, she and possibly hundred others are in league with this Dark fellow who has his hand in anything from s*****y to protistution and even weapon dealings...... The same person that orchestrated your near death."

    "Oho?! Then that does makes things easier. Since you can't promise to let her live, take one Gold card as a gift to her children if any."

    "Ho she do have children.... Is that all? Don't you want to know who this person in the shadows is?"

 "What's the need? Anyways with tension around in the capital it's just matter of time before he shows himself.. I estimate one week" Aeries nonchalantly said raising a finger to emphasize. 

   "Okay then. So what are the two request? "

 " The one to be given the most priority: I need you to use every means in your arsenal to search for news of nay child AGED 13 or 14 Wjo has any thing of interest, understood? 

  Two: I need to get an updated and the most precise blue... Sorry map of the Joran Palace... I had also needed a nap of the continent, but I'll just buy it myself"

    "Settled then, although I have no idea why you need to know anything about 13 year olds, I'll use everything I have to find them. And if you want you can get anything from our Auction that holds every 6 months. Because of this competition, sent are set to open one a little ahead of time. Tomorrow which would be knew of the most successful since several items are coming in"

    "I'll be there definitely."

 With smiles blooming on both their faces, they shook hands to what would be later known as the bedrock of change in the whole Kingdom and Empire in general.
