Lord Shadow

If they were really promised a slot by Death Monarch, their absence in this meeting is understandable

No wonder. They didn’t want to be associated with us at this critical juncture. At least they did not tell this place to Death Monarch. Or we are all going to be dead

William then sighed as he looks around the room. All around him are the world worst and greatest criminals that ever walked the face of the Earth

‘The Distribution of the World is just around the corner. All the monster in the world is under his rein for now, but once he lifted the prohibition of war, what to stop the monster from ravaging the lands?’ William said to no one in particular.

Helva nodded. She frowned when hearing this. Because she knows this is not entirely baseless. It is clear that the Death Monarch did not intend for the Prohibition of War to last permanently.

Even now, the forces of the world are all preparing their soldiers, their arms and weapons. Only Death Monarch prohibition that prevent them from going crazy.

‘Who knows what the Death Monarch is thinking?’ William suddenly said

At this they both nodded in agreement. They were silent for a while as William sighed and Helva also sighed.

Who would have thought that dynamic of the power structure of the world have to be rearranged once again?

It is already suffocating before to live under the control of the Three Great Powers.

And now, the Three Great Powers seems to be in the verge of breaking down but it will only be changed into another form.

Whatever the conclusion of the distribution of the world, Pandemonium will always be an obstacle.

William then asked Helva

‘So, who organize the meeting?’ Helva shrugged

‘Well, all I know is that the Broker call the others. But I don’t know who call him and organize the meeting’

William was thinking for a while and then ask Helva cautiously. William could feel something is very wrong with this gathering

‘Is someone making a play to become King of the criminal underworld?’ William said. Helva shakes her head.

‘Don’t know, don’t care’ Helva replied.

William only smiles mysteriously and then said

‘You don’t care but here you are’

Helva could not deny William words. Then she offers an explanation

‘Death Monarch existence is a game changer for all of us. To say I am not afraid of him would be a lie’ then she looked around the room and said with disdain

‘Built to lump me in with these killers and criminals would be too insulting. I am researching the truth of the Universe but these people all only care about their interest and wellbeing and nothing for the pursuit of the truth’

William only snorted.

They were about to continue speaking when they saw the Broker appearing from the back curtain behind the room table.

The entire tent which was full of sound before suddenly turns silence. They all looked at the Broker with complicated expression.

Almost two thirds of the people here in the tent have met the Broker either to sell information or buy one.

Some of them even bow slightly towards him as a sign of acknowledgement

The Broker return that bow with anther bow. He looks around the room and he nodded

The Broker is a rotund middle age man with lush hair which is full of white hair on the side. The Broker is an African middle aged man with eyes of wisdom.

He looks like a spiritual guide and a pillar of wisdom, a wise, kind of man. But everyone knows appearances could be deceiving. He is wise but kind……that he isn’t.

The Broker is one of the moist well learned about all the secrets in the world

He had information ranging from where a certain someone is eating, who they are fucking, who they love, who they hated to the big secret that could shake the very foundation of the world.

The Broker notice some people are not here. He didn’t see Narleod.

‘Hmm, I see many familiar faces today’ he said. The other people in the tent all nodded in agreement.

Then sighing he said

‘I will cut to the chase. We are all here because of Death Monarch growing influence. I fear if Death Monarch really wanted to eradicate evil in this world he would just send his thunderbolts and turns all of us into dust and ashes’

The other close their eyes as acknowledgement of the truth what the Broker is saying.

The Broker then walk to the center of the tent and look slowly at each and every one of them. He then takes a deep breath and then said.

‘Today, more than ever, we need to unite’

‘Unite?’ one of the people among the crowd asked.

The Broker smiles bitterly and then he continued.

‘We don’t trust each other and we hated each other guts. I know. We all know. Some of you here try to kill each other behind the other backs, scheme against each other for benefits and more. I will not tell who it is but you all know who you are. And we don’t take it personally as long as none of you make it personal. But that is what we are. That is our nature. We are the criminals, the outcast, the rebels…we are misfits of the new world’

Many of the people in the tent nodded. William look at the Broker and there is a mysterious smile on his face

‘It is harder to comprehend or even contemplate the idea of uniting. But we must. Death Monarch is not some person who one faction could go up against. The World Government tried and they failed…miserably I might add. And he had the support of Three powerful armies, one Divine Archer, a cunning Trickster, a freaking Alchemist that could call upon hundreds of heroes of the world, a Goddess of War and a Valkyrie of the Battlefield. Not to mention the strongest woman in the world

Then with a sigh and a hopeless look he said

‘That, ladies and gentlemen is what we are up against. We are up against a bunch of titanic monsters. Even if only one of them went out, it would not be a problem for them to end any of us.’

‘So, what is your suggestion?’

The head of the Corleone family asked from his seat, his eyes are sharp and vicious. He had lost a lot. And now he is in hiding

Because he is one of the few who contacted Kasap to assassinate Death Monarch.

And knowing Death Monarch, his payback will be swift and merciless.

‘we need a leader’ William who is sitting beside the Grand Researcher smiles and his eyes shined. It seems his intel was right.

The Navarra family then asked

‘Who?’ Everyone also look at the Broker.

This, here, in this tent, are the unruliest, vicious people in the world. If Death Monarch and his friend are titanic monsters, them they are the evil monsters of the world, destroying everything they touched and taint innocence with darkness.

To rein over them would take a person with powers they could submit themselves to.

The talk of uniting the criminal underworld has been going on for a few years back since the emergence of Death Monarch

But no one could agree on a certain leader.

Today, however the Broker wanted to bring that matter to the surface. Does this mean he had found a suitable person to take that seat?

‘He is not here. But you all know him. You even clashed with him a few times’

The Corleone and the Navarra family frowned

‘Don’t keep us in suspense old mam’ one of the people around the round table said

‘It’s Void’ hearing this the entire tent was silence.

They all looked at each other and it almost seems like they were communicating with each other using on thy their eyes.

They clearly did not raise any objection. Every one of the underground world knows who Void is.

He is a reclusive expert. But he also had a penchant for making trouble. And people knows he had strange ability.

‘We need to talk about this and discuss this matter in depth’ the crime families raise up their hand and tell the assembly their opinions. They will make their final decision after thinking about it thoroughly.

At least they did not go against the idea.

The merchants and the small mid-sized factions also raises their hand and said

We also need time to discuss. The Broker nodded and said

‘discuss away’

William on the other hand went out from the tent. When asked if he is leaving he only said he is talking a walk outside to clear his mind

However, after he went outside and went away far away from the tent he brought out a telecommunication device.

It is a shell of a mollusk. However, this shell is inscribed with runes.

He then breathed his breath into the shell and the runes began to light up. He raises up the shell to his mouth and said

‘You got all that…. Loki?’

Half a world away, a person dressed in green and filed with green aura with serpents slithering around his feet, smiles cunningly.

‘I got it’ he replies. Then he got up from his throne of serpents and walk outside from his dark cave.

‘Void….I found you’ Loki said before he went out of the cave and disappeared from his island
