Allen was obviously not interested as he was stroking the lazy cat; Grim, who was sleeping leisurely on his arms without even looking at them talking.

“Ahm, is Mr. Allen alright with it?” Andrea asked hopefully.

Allen looks at them and smirks. "...No, I wonder about that..."

???!

“In this expedition, I wouldn’t be doing anything unless it’s necessary. I’m only here for Sara and of course, protecting her. So you shouldn’t count me in for the battle force.” Allen said nonchalantly.

Allen’s power is already extremely strong. If he does all the actions, Sara’s growth will be impeded. Thus, he doesn’t want to babysit her and spoil her all the time, ruining her in the process.

As for the other people, why should he care about them? In any case, if they wanted to become strong then they needed to experience danger and not babysitting…

“What did you say?!” The armored guy angrily cried out. Even the other people frowned but Allen didn’t care.

"Don't screw around with me!" The armored guy yelled and draws his sword. “You think your hotsh*t!?”

“Thekla, stop!” Basilius and Andrea stop him but before they could do it,

“Who’s yelling here?!” A voice appeared and someone kicked Thekla from the back.

“Who dares!?” Thekla stands angrily from the ground and turned around but his movements froze.

In front of her was a woman with black hair and black eyes. She was clothed in black and in her waist, a black sword was hanging.

“Bl, Black Swordsman?!” He cried out in surprise.

All the other people did the same as soon as they saw her.

“Do you want to die, as*hole?!” The one known as the Black swordsman scowled.

“No, no…” Thekla immediately denied. No sh*t. it was the infamous Black swordsman, how can he dare anger her?

She was infamous for being short-tempered and crazy in a fight. And most of all, she was a known member of the Bianchi Family who controls this region.

No one would want to have scuffles against the Bianchi Family!

But the Black Swordsman started walking towards him, holding her sword. Thekla almost wanted to kneel in fear. Then the sword pointed at his throat.

“If you yell to this man again, I will cut your throat… remember that.” She said. Her eyes then turned towards the other people in the group.

“Ye, yes?”

The Black Swordsman pulled back her sword and arrived in front of Allen. “It’s been a long time, I guess?”

“Do you know her?” Sara pulled Allen’s clothes and asked.

Allen sighed. He stroked the girl’s head and said, “She’s a friend…” he turned to the black-clothed lady. “How did you know it’s me? More like how did you know I’m here, Flor?”

As Allen said that, his expression changed a little, into the expression of someone meeting an old friend.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

“I just know…” The Black Swordsman answered with a mysterious smile. Her real identity was Flor Mendez, the once known as Philippines [ Jack the Ripper ]. A Fiend type Superhuman, holding the black demon sword; [ Tartanos ].

“You know, Mia’s been looking for you all over the place. She had even sent every force she could to seek for your location… where’s your Vit. Com.?” Flor frowned.

Allen’s gaze turned to Sara, who in response, looked down while fidgeting. He then let out a bitter smile. “It’s broken…”

“Huh?”

Along the way, when Allen was charging the Vit. Com. with solar power, Sara who was practicing her ability cut a tree and that tree accidentally fall at the communicator. When Allen found out, it was already smashed into a meat paste…

Poor fella, can’t even raise a scream before falling to its death~

“The heck…” Flor didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Her gaze then turned towards Sara who was curiously looking at him. “This is? Another one of your victims?”

“What do you mean by victims?”

“I’m, I’m Sara Avesta… Allen’s lover…”

“Oh, declaring war immediately ey? Not bad, girl…” Flor teasingly said.

“I, I did not…” Sara immediately turned flustered.

“Chill, I’m not one of his…” Flor cast Allen a glance. With a mischievous smile, she added, “Probably… not yet,”

“Eh?”

Flor laughed happily while Allen shook his head helplessly. It seems like she had changed big time since he last seen her. She had become a bit more cheerful and lively.

Allen and Flor’s casual conversation surprised Andrea and her group. They never expected for Allen to be a part of the Bianchi’s family. While the people who were criticizing Allen and Sara just now felt their blood drained in their faces, especially Thekla and the man just a while ago.

Bianchi Family is an extremely powerful group that controls almost all of this area and they were even the one owning the two large Dungeons.

Everyone wanted to be a part of them and even the Guild [ Athenian ], the Bianchi Family was also a large investor of them.

And judging from Flor’s attitude towards Allen, he seems to be someone powerful inside the Family, at least the same level with the famous Black Swordsman!

“Mr, Mr. Allen. Are you actually a member of the Bianchi Family?” Barbara asked the question all of them wanted to ask. Her attitude was extremely respectful.

Allen turns his head and looked at her, as he responded with his voice as clear as water. "No, not really a member…”

“But,” Andrea was doubtful but Flor cut her off.

“What do you mean a member…? He’s nothing like that. After all, he’s the princess most special and most important person in the entire world… not really a member, yeah right…” Flor’s sarcasm went off the ceiling.

“What?!”

“Do you really need to say it like that?” Allen bitterly smiled.

Flor ignored Allen’s protest and turned to Sara. “That’s why Sara I think that you should be careful. This guy’s a bastard that put his filthy paws to every female he sees…”

“Do you really need to say that in front of me?”

“What? So it’s alright if I did it behind your back?”

“Jeez…” Allen sighed and turned his head towards Sara. “Don’t listen to her. I’m just, you know, extremely weak to temptations…”

“What an epic reason…” Flor couldn’t help but felt she had lost to his way of reasoning…

Sara, on the other hand, throws a jab on Allen’s side while pouting. She then started walking towards Flor while muttering, ‘You’re really an enemy of all women’ her voice helpless and seemed to be giving up.

“What was that for?” Allen smiled wryly.

“I feel you, sis,” Flor said with a bitter smile, greeting Sara who walked towards her side.

“I think I needed to consider my decision… at least for my life…” Sara sighed.

“Hahaha, well, he’s not a bad guy, overall, he’s too excellent, and so your future will be a plus. You will get used to it…” Flor tried pacifying her seeing her down casted and regretful expression. It wasn’t what she intended, it was just a joke on her part…

Sara shrugged her shoulders. “I know, besides, I think it’s already too late now… you know, feels like, ‘If he leaves me I will kill him’ kind of relationship…” Sara said in a joke.

“That’s dangerous…” Flor smiled bitterly at the strange yet dangerous analogy. “But you’re not alone, you will see later just how your thoughts seemed to be tamed enough~”

As the two girls were having a strange conversation despite them meeting for the first time, at this moment, “Flor!!”

Someone called out to her. All the faces immediately turned towards the source and saw a girl with black hair running towards them. Her waist filled with many daggers, a carbine on her hands and a big shield on her back.

Behind her was a group of people wearing different clothes, armors, military vest while holding different weapons; from swords to guns.

“Flor! Why did you suddenly leave?! Don’t you know how important this mission was!?” The new girl shouted while staring at Flor.

Looking at the girl, Allen’s eyes sparkled and a nostalgic air immediately radiated. “You never changed, Aileen.”
