[Virtual World] Cyber Abyss Volume 2: A Guild Called Trinity

Chapter 3 Part 3

2.3.3---------------------------------------------

"So, what's the progress about Allen-kun?"

"We got a report that he formed an organization consisting of S rank criminals from all over the nation."

"So that's his answer, eh?"

In a place so wide that voices could be heard echoing all over the room, Lancelot Lancaster was standing in front of his king, Deon Ambrosia, while his Highness was sitting on the kingdom's throne.

But this time, there was someone who was beside Lancelot. A man wearing a military uniform that signified his position in the kingdom's Special Force.

It was Bernard Zeke, a five star general.

"Recon units reported that Allen-sama met an S-class criminal from the Aragon Kingdom before heading out to East Abyss. But..."

"But...?"

"That's the last message we received from the recon units, unfortunately, Deon-sama."

"Tsk! There are too many deaths already. Bernard-kun, bring me the addresses of their families. I don't care where they are. I'll personally apologize to them fo..."

"Deon-sama! You don't have to go that far! I'm the one who..."

"There's a lot of casualties happened because of my son. It's my responsibility as the King of this kingdom!"

However, Bernard and the King noticed Lancelot's trembling fists and his eyes exposing his guilt and frustration.

"Lance-kun, don't blame yourself in other people's..."

"But, they died because of..."

"You're being controlled by your emotions again, young man. Let me remind you you're now a Supreme!"

The blonde man eyes widened for a second. He just remembered that being a Supreme was not just about the power and title. The King had told him that a Supreme had to be the perfect model, the leading example of what a true ruler could be.

"The who is leading must never show a sign of weakness. Always remember that Lance-kun."

"I apologize, Deon-sama..."

But in that moment, the three on the throne room heard the sound of the door being opened. As several footsteps were getting louder and louder, they saw the face of the man approaching them.

Lancelot and Bernard slowly bowed down their heads.

"It seems like you're having a big problem here, Deon."

"Oh. If it wasn't the old hag. What are you doing here?"

"Don't you talk to me like you're a hundred years younger, you fool!"

"Welcome back, Drake-sama." Lancelot and Bernard paved their respects.

An old man that was at the same age of Deon Ambrosia made his entrance. He was wearing a red and black clothes designed with a thick red cape made of beast fur.

"I heard what happened to Allen-kun." The old man called Drake then pointed his hands to the throne. "That's why I told you to talk to him after what happened on that incident! Honestly, it's a shame that Allen-kun turned out to be like that. Why does him of all your children have to inherit your brain?!"

"So, what happened to you?" Deon asked while ignoring those words Drake had shouted to him.

"Beasts from West Abyss are getting stronger and stronger, so does its harsh weather. Vegetation is incredibly thicker and my agents told me that there are about hundreds of unknown plants waiting in there. It really unfortunate but it seems like we really need Haley-chan's technology for an expedition. "

"As expected of my granddaughter! A genius just like his grandpa! Hahahahaha!"

Irritated at what Deon was boasting about, the old man who just arrived had further questions for the King.

"Oi, Deon! I almost forgot. What happened to that idiotic boy? What's his current name again?"

"Yosuke Masuda, Drake-sama." Bernard answered.

"Yeah, yeah. That Yosuke-kid. What happened to him?"

"You don't have to worry, Drake. I made him a member of Lance-kun's SPEAR and also sent him to Trinity for the mean time."

"You, what?! You're not training him personally?! Don't tell me you're slacking off again!"

"Who are you? My mother?"

"You were supposed to train him before he entered high school. But what did you do? You told me your 'I have my own unique ways' crap to me! Oi Deon! You didn't really forgot our promise to Old Man, right?"

"I know, I know. But he has to pass my requirements first..."

"Just make sure that you'll do what you need to do. Because if you don't, I'll make sure this kingdom will need its second king!"

"Huh? You pickin a fight? Well, come on! We're ain't getting any younger!"

The two old men in the throne room were heating up. The two of them were both grinding their teeth to their dismay.

However, the quiet general currently at the room knew he must take action.

"For goodness sake, Deon-sama, Drake-sama. You two are the Founders. If I were you, I'll refrain from doing any unnecessary acts."

And here Deon-sama told me to not get on my emotions. Lancelot muttered.

While the two old men suddenly became quiet as Bernard somehow lectured them, the five star general swiped in the air and opened his digital screen. And it seemed like he had some questions to his king regarding to their subject.

"Deon-sama, I understand that you want this rookie ranked 19,998 Yosuke Masuda in Trinity Guild. But why did you sent an earlier message for the guild to draft the rookie ranked 19,997 Cris Readman?"

"Oh. That? I made a mistake in my first letter! Hahahaha!" Deon then scratched the back of his head. "But it seems like I also forgot to tell them the mistake I did in that first letter. Hahahaha! Nevermind..."

"EHHH?!" Lancelot and Bernard shouted in shock.

"I wonder why this idiot of a King has a genius son and granddaughter." Drake responded.

"Well, Drake-sama. They say children always have 75% of the mother's intellect. But this time, it might be 99%."

"Huh? Bernard-kun, when did you learn to talk to me like that?!" Deon irritating answered back.

But in that moment, the general at the throne room received a call in which he immediately responded. A small digital screen popped out on his side.

"Bernard-sama. We have found another transportation vortex in an isolated land. We already sent the full report to you about this matter."

"Good work." Bernard responded before the digital screen vanished on his side.

"Deon-sama, should SPEAR take this mission? We can probably convince Haley-sama to study about the vortex." Lancelot asked his King. "I'm sure she's quite familiar when it comes to these kinds of things."

"No. Lance-kun..."

"?"

"I knew someone who can take care of this. More importantly, I called you here to give SPEAR your own mission..."

"?!"
