Ehrenar Slum, couple weeks ago...

In one of the abandoned building there, a dozen of people is gather together around a tables, talking about the recent news they got.

???: "...captain...are you really sure about this?" Someone among them raise a question towards the red cloaked guy at the end of the table.

The person who is being questioned is a red cloaked man with an old face. But even if he looks like this, he is letting out an intimidating aura to its surrounding. The aura that everyone here can feel from every superior and any person that is in fact, stronger than them.

Right, this man is Rojo.

Rojo: "hmph, if you don't sure about this, then don't come in the first place!" He said while slaming his fist on the table, showing his othorities to the others and making them cowers in fear.

Rojo: "I know this is just bird information we've got, and thats excatly why we cannot gives them to our supperior yet. If this information turns out wrong in the end, then our head here will be the payment for our imprudence!" He said loudly, making the other people here silent as statue.

Rojo: "but you all know this is also a chance, and if we done it correctly, then we you all can be promoted into a dark priest! A f*cking dark priest!" He said with over excitment, making his salvia drop to everywhere.

Rojo: 'while I am here will become a dark bishop! GAHAHAHA!' He darkly imagining in his head.

Rojo: "fuu...but for now, we can just wait in patience..." After calming himself once again, he ended the meeting with that sentence before then taking his ass off to some bar in the slum here.

Maybe he can get a good hideout in the way...

===========================

Ehrenar slum, somedays before a weeks ago...

Underling: "we've done here captain"

In the certain bar in the slum, people in black is seen inside of it while holding all kind of weapon you can think of, but thats not the point here.

In each of that very weapon, it is dripping with red warm liquid called blood. A sign that some sort of killing was just happening in here.

Rojo: "well, great job boys" he said while yawning in sleepiness.

Some days ago, he found out an isolated bar here that is suitable to be his temporary base. And thus, he intended to clean it up without further thinking and occupied it.

But unexpectedly, people in here is absurdly strong swordsman, and some even can use magic! So he had no choice here but to use his advanced water magic to helped out his underling to defeat them

But this instead is making him wonder, what kind of thing that this people guarding that they need this kind of personel to guards it. He is not that stupid, so he left some people alive to spill the beans out.

Just to be faced with another unexpectedness here. There is actually a secret pathway out! An escape route!!!

He just hit a freaking jackpot here.

But as he rejoice about the smoothness in his plan, his heart skipped a beat there, making his eyes widen as he couldn't hold his surprise.

Its a sign.

A sign that the heir has been selected right now!

The bird information he got turns out to be true after all!!!!

Rojo: "haha...AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

He just couldn't hold his happines right now. His laughter there is making all of his underling confused, but he doesn't care at all.

He didn't hit a jackpot,

He just hit a hidden treasure!!!!

He couldn't believe how lucky he is right now. But in the mid of this luckiness, a thought enter his mind: "hmm...but this instead is creating another problem for me..." He thinks as he place his hand on his chin.

If he wanted to bring the heir out, he must make the marquis out of the way first. Their organization is having a bad name for a reason, and them being here won't be taken lightly by the marquis

Rojo: "sigh...time for another massacre then..." He said lazily as he clean off the floor from the blood of the tortured people just now with his water magic.

Rojo: "We must do this, no matter how hard it is..." Not after lady luck herself helped him out here.

He must continue this operation.

==========================

Ehrenar slum, a week before...

In the end, Rojo decide to dealt with the marquis by bringing his attention out to the massacre event...the one done by them of course. And for now, their first target is the leading gang in the slum.

Before taking the real deal down, Rojo intends to wipe out all the underlings available first beforehand. The actual reason is actually to find out any useful information regarding to this new heir indentities they've been searching for.

Its all done easily as the gang underling are in fact, nothing except just a small fries that waiting to be slaughtered for Rojo. Just spamming water bullet magic is all it takes to brings all of them down right away.

And coincidence or not, lady luck is actually smiling at Rojo for once again.

In the n-th times they raid a hideout there, two conspicious people are stating that they were actually have an useful information that is equal to their lifes.

And hearing that, Rojo is just hmphing inside of his heart, doubting whatever crap that comes out from a thug mouth will be any use for a great person like him.

Rojo: 'even if its useful, their death is already set on stone though' he evily thought.

But never occur in his mind that the information he got is actually very very useful for him right there...

Sigh...but they're both still will be killed sadly...or not.

=======================

As they found they way out to their last targeted building, they can feels something is off from it as they have expected.

Rojo didn't hesistate to enters in as he already know what has happened in this place, so with a stoic face, Rojo commands all his subordinate here to check all the bodies here.

They all are having a same cause of death. A cut right to their neck, an untterly beautiful way to one hit kills people that unlike Rojo's brutals way.

Rojo: "then it has fixed. The heir of white is really the marquis son. Turns out the heir was just a child, making extra personel aren't needed at all" he mutters to himself.

His head is already blinded by greed, and all he can think of right now are the way to make this kid be alone.

Rojo: 'another chain-killing would be happening...and its either this kid atention I will get, or the marquis himself instead' he thought in his mind.

Either way, all outcome of the event will turns out a favor for him, and he has no right to whine just because of it.

Rojo: 'but this kid is really evil though...' He thought when he looks at the hidden bodies that brought out to light one by one by his subordinate.

Rojo: 'maybe he becomes a kills-loving kid like this after he got the key...showing how powerful the white power is...' He thought with a dreamy expression on his face.

All while he doesn't know, and maybe would never know, that the kid who done all this, Yoro, did all this out of his thirstiness to learn,

To learn how to be a great villain to be precise...
