Fall of NRC!?

The Real Final Act (Part 3)

In Savanaclaw, the trio was ready to put their plan into action.

(Flashback)

"Does Jonathan have any weaknesses?" asked Ruggie.

"I remember he's kinda money-hungry, always saying he wanted to marry a rich lady," said Leona.

"That's right. Jonathan loves money more than anything. Make a trail of money that will lead him to the entrance, and then tie him up," said Helena.

"I'll make the trail. Leona and Ruggie-senpai will remain at the entrance," said Jack. Leona and Ruggie nodded in agreement.

(Back to the present)

Leona gave Jack his wallet while Ruggie gave him his piggy bank.

"That should be enough," said Jack. He then headed off to find Jonathan.

"Good luck!" said Ruggie.

"Be very careful!" said Leona. 

Jack went straight to the lounge and finally found Jonathan there, searching for any remaining members he hadn't captured. He then dropped a coin to get his attention. 

"Hmm?" Jonathan turned around and saw a golden madol coin beside one of the sofas.

"Money!" Jonathan's eye sparkled and he quickly rushed to grab the coin. 

Seeing Jonathan distracted, Jack started making a trail with banknotes, as well as gold and silver coins towards the entrance.

"Money! Money! MOOOOOONEEEEEEY!" Jonathan picked up the banknotes and coins as if he'll never see them again as he walked.

Jack stopped once he arrived at the entrance. He then nodded at his senpais, signalling them to attack. 

"Money...money...money..." Jonathan started playing around with the banknotes he collected, while Leona and Ruggie slowly approached, looking at Jonathan with disgust.

"Geez...not even I am that obsessed with money..." whispered Ruggie.

"Well, that's how he is," Leona whispered back. They then launched their attack by leaping at Jonathan, pinning him to the ground.

When Jonathan hits his head on the ground, his senses came back and immediately noticed Leona and Ruggie on top of him.

"Why, you filthy little hyena, and...Leona Kingscholar!" He said. Then he punched Leona on the face and kicked Ruggie in the stomach, freeing himself and running away.

"Stop right here!" Jack yelled and chased behind. Leona followed while Ruggie rolled on the floor in pain.

Jack and Leona then separated, with the former heading to the hallway while the later heading to the kitchen.

Jack used his unique magic and started sniffing around the hallway, from doors to the wooden planks. As he reached the end, someone pushed him towards the outside, causing him to turn back into his "human" form.

"Woah!" Jack yelled as he grabbed tightly onto a log frame with both of his hands. He looked up and saw Jonathan, snickering.

"Hmph! Pretty smart plan you've got back there, but unfortunately, I've turned the tables around!"

"Urgh! Jonathan Prince! Ever since that day, I've never forgotten your face, even though it's been five years!" yelled Jack.

"Five years? What do you mean?" asked Jonathan, looking at Jack with confusion.

"Don't play dumb! I saw you killing my grandfather and grandmother with my own eyes!" Jack shouted as tears filled his eyes.

"Your grandparents...ah, now I remember. There was this old couple with white hair, ears and tails like you, begging me not to kill their grandchildren before I beheaded them, along with other beastmen. Where's that place again? Land of Pyroxene, I believe," said Jonathan with a sadistic smile.
