"Is he really coming here Tasha?" Trevor asked the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Yes big brother. He said he will come shortly and he should be here anytime now." Answered Tasha softly as she looked at the injured Trevor with a gaze of pity.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Three distinct knocking sounds can be heard.
"Who goes there?" Tasha"s worried voice traveled their ears.
"It"s me Cale!" Trevor and Tasha heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that it was Cale.
Tasha opened the door and was shocked to see the men behind Cale who were acting like loyal subordinates.
"You guys stay here for now. Do not let anybody inside without my permission." Cale ordered solemnly.
"Tasha, can you let me talk with your big brother for a while?" Cale smiled at Tasha brightly which made her ease up a little bit.
"Sure big brother Cale." Tasha forced a weak smile at Cale before going out of the room.
On the bed, he saw Trevor who was wrap in bandages all over his body and he was now sporting two huge black eyes. Trevor"s look made him guilty as this would have not happened if he was there with him.
"Brother, I"m very sorry I was not there with you." Cale looked at him guiltily.
Trevor forced an ugly smile which made Cale"s lips twitch upwards slightly. "Brother, Kate betrayed me. She was going out with another man and I saw them kiss. I was not able to control my anger and I went up to beat him and his cronies, but about thirty minutes or so after that, more men arrived." Trevor recounted the events bitterly.
"I understand brother. Don"t worry, I will bring you justice." Cale said calmly.
"No! Just from the way those people worked, I knew that they were not just some small group of r.e.t.a.r.ds. They might be a huge organization that tackles in the underworld. Don"t bring harm to yourself brother, I will eventually heal. The doctor said that there were no broken bones and I will be fine in a month." Trevor spoke with difficulty as his his lips looked like it was bitten by a dozen bees.
Cale smiled and shook his head. He glanced through the door and shouted an order that shocked Trevor greatly. "Brogen, come inside! The rest of you stay there and guard outside!"
The door opened and Trevor saw a tall and hulking man in military uniform. He walked towards them in pace which was neither fast nor slow. His invisible aura covered the whole room like a strong gust of wind. He was like a lion strolling in the forest unhindered.
Brogen stopped in front of Cale and lowered his head slightly.
"Sir Cale!" Brogen said in a deep voice.
Cale waved his hands and told Brogen to stand at ease.
Moments before they arrived in the hospital, Cale told his men to call him sir in his normal ident.i.ty and they can only call him "lord" when he is on his "Wolf King" persona.
"Trevor this is one of my men Brogen and we are currently working for Lord Wolf King as a his subordinates. And Lord Wolf King does not fear the underworld king who did this to you." Cale said. He called Brogen to make his story more believable.
"Is that true Cale?" He asked suspiciously.
Cale was not angered by his suspicion and just smiled at him. He then said "Trevor, I told Lord Wolf King about your abilities and he was interested in you working for him. Don"t worry. Even if you decline joining us, we will still help you with your revenge."
Trevor looked conflicted and sighed heavily. "Cale if Lord Wolf King is willing to take me as his subordinate, then how can I decline when he is even willing to help me this much." He answered solemnly.
Cale smiled brightly in response. He stood up from his seat and told Trevor "Brother, just wait for my good news. And by the time you heal your injuries, I will contact you. Don"t worry, you will not regret the choice you made today."
Trevor smiled and reach out his right fist towards him and Cale b.u.mped the fist in return.
They then talked about random things for an hour before Cale decided to go.
"Brogen go back with me. The rest of you remain here and guard Trevor and Tasha. Tell Trevor to call me the moment he will be discharge in the hospital. And if ever those little underlings from that underworld king comes here, then beat them up." Cale ordered his men.
"Yes sir Cale!"
"Yes sir!"
"As you say sir Cale."
Cale nodded in satisfaction and patted Brogen"s shoulder.
"Let"s go home Brogen. We need to prepare for our visit to that underworld king tomorrow."
"Yes sir!"
They arrived back in the mansion after less than an hour.
"I need to hasten my plans now. I don"t want any other unexpected events to happen. First let me buy those two hundred guards for the Tyrannical Tower." Cale said to himself solemnly while clenching his fists tightly.
He then opened "The Black Market" and clicked the Slaves category.
- Slaves
* Demetrio (Human)
- 95 000 000 Black Coins
- The patriarch of the renowned Kure Family in the world of Altura. The family was composed of skilled fighters and killers. Even the emperors from all over the world of Altura feared them.
* Zero (Human)
- 110 000 000 Black Coins
- The strongest S-Cla.s.s mercenery of the world Gallantos. Fought fiercely with the Barbarian Emperor for half a day and was able to escape with his life intact.
Cale read the description of the human named Zero and thought that this guy might have a history with Brogen.
"I wonder what will happen if I buy this guy? Will they dare fight in front of me?" Cale said to himself.
He then scanned the other slaves on sale and his eyes stopped on one of them.
* Aurora (Human)
- 35 000 000 000 Black Coins
- A human empress who transcended humanity and achieved immortality. She broke the shackles of mortality and fought with the Demon Immortal Azazel for one week. She injured Azazel severely and made him go sleep for countless millennia, but this came with heavy price. She lost her immortal body and injured her nascent immortal soul. And in order to preserve her life, she used her remaining powers to seal her body in a freezingly cold ice made from her immortal blood in hopes that she will gain back her immortality.
"What the h.e.l.l is this thirty five billion Black Coins?! This woman, she was not here before when I checked the slaves category. It looks like I unlocked some of "The Black Market"s" hidden requirements. But I still cannot afford this huge amount. In a year, I might be able to cough up this amount after acc.u.mulating some treasures." Cale said to himself bitterly.
