The Last Heroes: Warriors Against The Sinful

Chapter 1.11: The world's strongest but kindest.

*Meanwhile, at the Quarts Apprehension*

***

Gaiyato opened a portal back to the base, but he gave Hade a hard slap on the back of his head, causing him to be sent flying to the other side. "OUCH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"

Hade yelled out but was immediately terrified by Gaiyato's reaction. "NEXT TIME YOUR SUPERIOR IS ABOUT TO GET LAID, YOU BETTER WAIT UNTIL HE GOT THE JOB DONE!"

"YES GAIYATO SIR. IM SORRY~!!"

He stopped pretending to be serious and left abruptly. As he walked into the cafe area, he noticed the group of people Tedashii was with before the event ended. Gaiyato wondered how they survived but decided to remain professional and keep his personal opinions to himself.

"Alright, guys. My apologies for arriving late. I had some...family matters I had to attend..." His tone went down, but then he cleared his throat. "But that doesn't matter right now. What's to come for you guys is the final task. You will be retrieving Legon City back for us from the clutch of the deception plague. There are rooms for you guys to rest. Tomorrow, we will meet with all the other 10 quarts from all apprehensions. Unfortunately for you guys, my nep...Tedashii Katsuno...is..."

He couldn't say another word. Hade could only feel bad for him, so he tried to find a way to keep it professional. "OH, HOW GREAT MY SENSEI IS. He is so proud of you guys, he can't even find any words to"

Gaiyato bopped him on his head, then cleared his throat again. "As I said before, MY SUBORDINATE began spouting nonsense: We don't have a calamity from your Quarts. So, would anyone be willing to take Tedashii's place?"

Immediately, everyone pointed at Franco. "I think that will me, Sir."

Franco points to himself as well. But the moment he wanted to walk forward, Gaiyato noticed the blood on his shoe. Franco was alerted, so he tried to cover up.

"Oh, this on my shoe. It was while we were fighting-"

"DEMONIACS! YEAH, then he pierced it through the chest." Yuro intervened.

"Through the chest...huh..." Gaiyato finally understood what had happened to Tedashii. So he walked out of the room. Makoto and the others began scolding Franco.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STILL WEARING A BLOODY SHOE?!" He asked.

"What do you mean, will you get me another one? This is the only pair I have." Franco replied.

"Do you want to get caught or what?! This is straight evidence!" Ado shouted.

They kept on arguing; then Hade came to ask them a few questions. "So it's you guys who killed Tedashii?"

They all turned towards him. Trying to make up another story, but the truth was inevitable.

"Wow, the one thing we tried to avoid. Look, guys, you may not know this, but that boy was the nephew of the man who just walked out of here."

They all froze in place. Franco and Makoto are the most scared since they are guilty.

"D...do you think he will do something to us?" Leah asked.

"Well, if you're lucky enough. Regardless, he isn't allowed to lay a single finger on you anyway. That's under his contract. Well then, I'll keep my mouth shut for your sake...take care."

After Hade left, everyone sat down to reflect on what had happened. Suzuki and Genti were devastated when they realized that Tedashii was killed by them while listening through the open window. Genti carried him on his back, and they both fled the area. Adrian tried to stop them, but Yuro prevented him from doing so. The other two Ronins then went by to regroup with them.
