Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 114: Flag

His plan really turned out good and as a result, he gained five more members exempting Remo. If he goes at this pace he could really nurture his clan.  There is more to it though. He'd have to train them as well as himself.

It was really unfortunate that he couldn't wake up Astaroth. If he were to gain his advice he'd grow at a tremendous rate. Over the last twenty days, he'd have approximately killed ten to fifteen outsiders but the last time Astaroth awakened was due to the amassed amount of killings Nix made.

It was truly a shame that he lost Astaroth's assistance because of his own death. Astaroth maintained a barrier and protected his body from getting eaten by the monsters of the yard he was dumped at.

Putting that aside, he needed to first fully study the town's remaining clans and companies who are currently at the level to fight Nix's clan and claim a large amount of land to develop a steady business. Honestly opening a business firm was not his plan but Remo's. He just needed money to take control and be the powerhouse of the town and make it into a city.

But, there were essentially huge problems he had to face. It was to repel the siege that happens regularly every week and gain the town's trust. and many more.

Nix was standing out of the inn gazing at the Outsiders who woke up in the middle of the night just to witness what the mess was about yet no one dared to interfere in the dispute.

"Argh...Argh.!"

Felishia scoffed standing behind him.

"Ohh? what's the matter?"

Nix asked, turning towards her.

"Come on let's talk somewhere alone."

Felishia said, grabbed his hand and led him to the backside of the building.

"So? What's so important that you needed to talk alone?"

Nix asked with a cold expression.

"Nix, Do you believe in fate?"

"Well depends, Why did you ask that?"

"Nothing, I'm going to give you a prophecy..."

Felishia said with a serious expression staring at Nix's calm eyes that didn't show a hint of surprise nor excitement.

"Prophecy huh? Tell me." He said casually without giving much importance to the word 'prophecy'.

"Although, I cannot confidently say that the divination about your future is right but...."

She wiped off the sweat that dripped down her neck like a pearl and then continued with a worried expression.

"From this day to the next four months all your possessions will crumble. Everything that you own will be lost! You will once again walk in the path of desperation seeking power."

She stopped and stared at Nix's eyes which unwaveringly looked straight at her.

"Can I consider this as a joke? I mean that's absolute bullshit? I get it you are a demigod but that's that... You have the ability, do you have the ability to predict the future or something?"

He asked in an annoyed tone.

"I cannot accurately predict it. I just received the omen from Yagavaran, the omen of doom. He is an astral entity who watches the futile sufferings of mortals. I'd say he is the spectator of worlds."

"I see... So he is god then?"

Felishia turned her head left and right in denial of his declaration.

"No, He is not. He is just a trapped soul that revolves around this universe. He cannot do anything other than saying Prophecies and spectate."

"Ohh, I see.... Does his prophecies even go with the gods?"

"Yes," Felishia said and nodded her head.

"I don't know what he is exactly but I believe in you... Four months from now, Right?"

"Yes and that is exactly when the war of chaos mainland will happen."

'War'

He muttered inwardly massaging his temples and said.

"So you are saying my prophecy is connected to that... Guess I'll have to speed up the process."

"I'll be leaving then."She said and turned.

He quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.

"Where exactly are you going now?"

"To raise a troop. I said I'll help you, right? Then I'd have to try my best. I consider our deal still intact. Make sure to use this town and amass people."

She said looking at his eyes with a smirk as he loosened his grip to let her go.

"See you soon."

She said kissing his cheek and opened up her portal.

He just looked at her back as she walked inside the portal.

Meanwhile in Dracton city, The requiem clan house,

"Helina and Aizen have also swept away with the Transgressors considering the contracts in mind but, the landlord of Transgressors clan houses head was found. Cinzia is not the type to disappear out of the blue. The RIT is currently investigating us and made a move with Ferandel."

Gregory said sitting opposite Rafila and Next to her was Jack frost sipping his drink.

"Their clan lord died but, don't you think their decision of leaving the city was too hasty? We could have slowly conquered this city if the Transgressors chose to stay here. Such a waste..."

Jack frose said, staring at Rafila who  had her hand placed on her head facing down.

"It was all because of me... I was the one who asked Nix to enter Ferandel and I was the one who pointed out that it was Nix who destroyed the Daneren household. I betrayed Cinzia."

She said in a low voice.

"Your life was at stake... I believe she'll understand your position."

Jack frose said patting her shoulder in order to calm her down. Rafila was truly a close friend of Cinzia but, unfortunately, she betrayed in a mere moment in order to save herself from death.

"Should we send a team to search for them?"

Rafila asked, raising her head staring at Gregory.

"Nah, I guess this time she is done for good. Her clan is not up to par like the last time she left to at least withstand Zerasts offense. I guess this is it. I am not supporting your plan."

She rose from her seat and opened up the map as though she was struck by something.

"Which is the perfect place to be safe without any restriction?"

Rafila asked after spreading the map on the table staring at Jack.

He sipped his wine and placed the glass on the table.

Tap!

"The isolated town Theemai, I guess?"

"Exactly! I am shifting my clan there."

Rafila said with a serious expression.

"Are you crazy? Why would you? I mean there is nothing you can do there. That place probably holds around three thousand people in it and they'd fight monsters every week."

"I promised the Lord of Transgressors to become an allied force and I've failed as a friend for Cinzia twice. At least I have to help her this time. I need to at least do this for her loss..."

"Well, that's bull shit where were you when the silver spear left like this? Hiding your ass right? Then why are you acting like this now? Just shut the fuck up and put her cowardly ass behind Dracton and hide for fuck sake!"

Jack frowned at her.

"Jack, get out of here! How dare you try to mock me!"

Rafila yelled tapping her staff in anger emitting an immense pressure that wholly covered her background in green.

"Hah, Guess what? I really am in a mood to fight now," Jack said, cracking his knuckles.

"Hey come on stop it? You know what Jack? I am going to Theemai too." He said rising from his seat.

Jack furrowed his brows and looked at him with doubt.

"What, come on man? Seriously? How am I gonna capture this city then?"

"You already know that's something of a fool's dream and I've abandoned it along the back. Wake up to reality! There is no future here and there is no future anywhere we go as long as the Zerast is still there. " He shrugged and walked out of the clan house whistling jovially.

"Tch" Jack clicked his tongue, stared at Rafila angrily for a second and walked away.

'I didn't have the courage to apologize...'

Rafila thought, staring at the portrait she had in her office.

***

As soon as the sun rose the Nix began to set up his New clan house with his clan members. They were actually renovating the inn they captured with minor changes. Thanks to the new members who were talented in carpentry and other stuff he was able to work leisurely.

"Nix, We still haven't made a flag for our clan."

Cinzia said, staring at him.

"How about a flaming red chain?"

Camila said with sparkling eyes.

"How about a flower?"

Helina said shyly.

"Tch, I come on? I need someone with a true artistic sense."

He said and turned towards Daisy.

"How about an hourglass figured lady in the emblem? Would be sexy. Considering you have many sexy women in your clutch."

Daisy said with an alluring smile.

"Well, that would just taint the reputation of Transgressors."

He said and began to draw a skull with horns and wings in the back. It was a merged symbol of both Outlaws and Regulars.

"How is this?"

He asked proudly.

"Hmm, not bad."

Cinzia said locking his hands between her chest while giving a hostile gaze at Daisy.
