As Indulf left the Hell’s Gate tavern a shout could be heard elsewhere in the city. If one were to trace its origin they would find that the shouting was coming from quite an exquisite building with columns lining the front of the building.
“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WORK WITH A PARTNER I WORK ALONE!?!”
With a sigh, the old man sitting in front of Roy looked up and with a cold glare spoke.
“As I told you, Master Roy, you’ll be accompanied by one Indulf Anexeus to complete your objective and this is non-negotiable.”
After a few minutes passed Roy turned and asked.
“So when do I get to meet this Indulf also I assume you have his file pulled up for me to read?”
"Of course Master Roy I just located the file....Wait for that's not normal it seems that the file is corrupted I've never heard of such a thing happening before?"
Upon saying this Roy moved move to look at the screen to be present with a large wall of random text that made no sense to him which in turn causes him to snort and exclaim while making his way to the door to leave.
"No matter if this "Indulf Anexues" is someone worth my attention then I'd have known of him then I would so there for he is some welp who is merely forced to leach of my power!"

“Hmm well isn't that odd the file’s corrupted hmm I’ve never seen this before odd hmmm Roy I think it be best if you pay close attention to this Indulf fellow till I can gather more info on him is that clear?”
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“Pfft no one would dare lay a hand on me or they’d face the rather of the Isobe clan!”
A sigh escaped the old man's lips as Roy ran out slamming the door behind him.
“One of these days that boy will meet someone or something that either cares not for his clan or simply holds a power to bend them low.”
After claiming this the man went back to working on the papers needed to have Roy sent on the job.
48 HOURS LATER
Roy sat outside a large metal and glass building waiting for this man known as Indulf. But the longer he waited the more his anger grew and soon it seemed that if one were to hold a fuse close to Roy it would ignite. But soon two figure began to approach Roy at his seat one asking in a rough tone.
"You Roy Isobe?"
But Roy simply ignored him for he only dealt with those he believed worthy of his time. But soon the figure exclaimed.
"Well if this is Roy Isobe he must be deaf or stupid maybe both!"
Upon saying this the man began to chuckle to himself only to be sent flying back but at this happen the second figure step forward slamming a solid steel case into Roy's chest sending him back grinding his heels into the ground. After coming to a stop Roy looked at the figure that had hit him.
This man stood at 6'0 wear a button vest over a dark red dress shirt that was obscured partially by a large grey leather coat part of his face was obscured to the point where only one eye was visible his eye was storm grey and seemed to stare right at Roy's left eye that he had covered by a tricorn hat it was black with gold detailing. Clasped in his left hand was solid steel case that moments before had slammed into Roy's chest at least that what it felt like.
As the two stared each other down weighing their options two voices broke the trance-like state between the two.
"Alright, you two no need to take it this any further!"
The voices belonged to Isaac and the old man who had lead Roy and what Roy assumed was Indulf into these events. After a moment a sigh escaped Isaac's lips and he walked over to Roy with his right hand extended and exclaimed.
"Look I see that I've angered you allow me to apologize for my actions I didn't expect you to jump to such actions at a little prodding."
After a moment and looking at the old man who simply glared at him Roy extended his hand and shook Isaac's stating.
"Well, you've learned that now but do realize that if you make the mistake of insulting the Isobe name again I'll make certain that you'll come to regret your action."
After the two shook hand seemingly forgiving each other for now at least the old man step forward and introduced himself as Dunreith Kenzaburo he and Isaac then split off for a moment to discuss some matters leaving Indulf and Roy by themselves.
Roy after sometime turned to Indulf and exclaimed.
"SO you're the Indulf Anexeus that I shall be forced to work with.... hmm very then I'll give you this word of warning and I'll only do it once stay out of my way welp and there shall be no...complications is that clear?"
After a brief space of time, Indulf turned to Roy and retorted with.
"I was about to say the very same thing and if you think your name threatens me then you are sorely mistaken... I care not for your house I care not for your clan and I don't give two shits about you!"
Upon starting this Roy spun around in frenzy and went to lash out at Indulf only for the two to be hit in the back of the head causing his vision to blur from the force of the blow. Unknown to Roy was the fact that Indulf was also suffering similar events.
Soon the two turned to see Isaac and Dunreith had returned and began to explain that Indulf and Roy shall be loaded onto their transport now. After gathering their stuff the two marched quietly towards a large vehicle it had a set wings that embedded inside lied a large thruster of sorts.
As the two approached they were then greeted by the crew of the craft who welcomed them on board and as soon as they had their gear stowed away the turn and found seats in the rear of the craft giving each other as much distance as the craft could allow.
Soon a loud rumble filled the air as the vehicle roared to life its engines devour air and soon with a rumble the craft was airborne and away as soon as this occurred Indulf stretched out taking up several seats and lowered the brim of his hat to cover his eyes and drifted off to sleep leaving Roy by himself to which Roy filled the time till they would arrive at their destination with by reading the info that Dunreith had given him.
