Chapter 252: Chapter 171: Incomplete Team Presentation
Backlund, 11:30 p.m.
An alert Charlotte clenched the charm in his hand as he followed closely behind a calm Adryan.
Charlotte wore simple pants along with a white shirt and a gray jacket. And a bucket hat on his head.
While on the other hand, Adryan wore black pants and a brown jacket. He had the hood of his jacket up to hide his red hair.
"Boss where are we going?" Charlotte asked looking alert for anything strange.
Adryan kept his eyes straight ahead and responded.
"You're on the team now, remember? I have to introduce you to the other members."
Charlotte's expression soured momentarily but he quickly recovered.
"So it's like that..." the purple-eyed man muttered more to himself than to Adryan.
He discreetly took out another 2 charms from his pocket and squeezed them into his right hand.
"Could you tell me more about my new teammates Boss?" Charlotte asked curiously.
"He really has to improve how he hides the charms." Flora commented upon seeing the poor attempt the young man made.
Adryan smiled as he answered.
"Of course Charlotte, for now there aren't many of us but that will be solved with time."
"How many exactly Boss?" Charlotte asked with a frown.
"Counting you now we are 5." Adryan answered calmly while Charlotte only nodded slightly.
Charlotte narrowed his eyes slightly.
'I think I overestimated the team a bit if there are so few...' he thought to himself but then shook his head.
As if he could read his mind, Adryan responded.
"You don't have to worry about the strength of the team. We are all Beyonders and very competent, we can protect ourselves."
Given this information, the purple-eyed man was taken by surprise.
"All?" he couldn't help but ask.
Adryan nodded with a smile.
"All."
Charlotte was lost in his thoughts.
'If all the members of the team are Beyonders that's a considerable force...'
'To raise so many Beyonders according to uncle's notes, a lot of money is needed and someone strong to control and guide them...'
He looked at Adryan's back and nodded slightly.
'It makes sense that it would be so having such a monster as a boss. I doubt someone like him would accept someone weak in his team...'
He still remembered the intensity of the flame deep within the etheric body of the man in front of him.
He was sure that if Adryan wanted he could kill him and he couldn't do anything to defend himself.
Knowing this did not scare him, quite the opposite.
It made him much more excited!
'This just makes me want to follow this man even more!' he thought with a shaky smile as he followed Adryan.
Watching out of the corner of his eye what Charlotte was doing, Adryan could only sigh internally as he returned his attention to the front.
'I always get the weirdos...'
...
In the basement of a private warehouse.
Huff* Huff*
Sweat fell from her forehead and her breathing was rough.
Her wavy black-green hair was tied in a ponytail and her bright brown eyes gazed intently at a very tall woman who was looking at her seriously.
"Come on Hazel, if you want to complete the challenge you have to be faster than this." Sasha said with a smile as she took a few steps to the side.
Clink* Clink*
There were small silver bells tied to her waist with a red cord.
Gulping in breaths, Hazel tried to get up but fell to one knee.
"Give me...a...moment..." she said tiredly as she fell to the ground.
At that, Sasha sighed and walked towards the green-haired girl.
"After moving so much you shouldn't sit down, get up and walk." she advised with a smile, her serious expression gone.
Sasha stopped next to Hazel and held out her hand to her.
"Yes Yes, I understand." Hazel said between breaths as she extended her left hand towards Sasha's.
But before touching her, she threw dirt at Sasha's eyes with her right hand while kicking with her left leg at her face.
When she did that, Sasha's expression turned serious, and moving her head to the side she dodged the handful of dirt and with her right arm blocked the kick.
Hazel didn't stop but using her hand as support, she did a 360-degree turn and tried to kick her with her other leg but this time Sasha stepped back and dodged the kick.
Taking advantage of the inertia of her kick, Hazel got up and jumped back several times, and gave Sasha a serious look.
"That was a good move. But you have to be faster than that." Sasha said with a smile at the green-haired girl's dirty trick.
In the Beyonder world, there is no honor so the more dirty tricks you have the better.
At the compliment, Hazel smiled mischievously as she extended her left fist.
"Thanks Sasha but I think you dropped this." she then opened her hand.
Clink* Clink*
Now the little silver bells were in her control.
Sasha just looked at her side and seeing that the bells weren't there she just laughed with a big smile.
"You're getting faster every time, I didn't even see when you took them."
Hazel smiled too but without showing her teeth showing her noble grace.
She tossed the bells to Sasha who caught them with extreme ease with a smile without taking her gaze from Hazel.
"This time it took you 10 minutes. How about we go for 7?" Sasha asked with a smile but before Hazel could say anything, applause rang out.
Clap* Clap* Clap*
"I'm glad to see that you guys are getting along so well, you already look like sisters." Adryan said with a smile as he entered through a hidden door.
"Boss!" "Teacher!"
Sasha and Hazel respectively called, happy to see Adryan but just as they were walking towards him Adryan raised his hand to stop them.
"Wait a minute, we have a guest and I wouldn't want to make him nervous by having so many people around him." he said calmly and the faces of both women lit up in understanding.
The first to speak was Sasha.
"So he accepted?" she asked with a bit of excitement.
Hazel on her side huffed in annoyance as she crossed her arms.
Adryan just smiled as he nodded.
"Ladies, I present to you Charlotte, the new member of the team." He introduced and a suspicious Charlotte also came out of the hidden door.
"Treat him well." he smiled.
Sasha was the first to move. She calmly walked up to Charlotte and held out her hand to him.
"Nice to meet you Charlotte. I'm Sasha Strauss and I'm a Pugilist."
Charlotte listened to the presentation surprised and looked at Sasha as if she had grown another head.
'Did she really tell me her Pathway just like that?' He thought a little stunned but controlling himself he took her hand.
"Charlotte Silk, Mystery Prier." He returned the greeting and Sasha's smile grew.
"I hope we get along very well" she finished with a smile, separating her hand from the purple-eyed man who nodded.
Charlotte turned to look at Hazel who snorted but still reached out to him and held out her hand.
"My name is Hazel, a Marauder."
Charlotte took her hand and nodded.
He then looked around and raising an eyebrow asked.
"Boss, didn't you say that we are five? Where is the missing one?"
"Oh right, Nathan isn't in Backlund right now. If I'm not mistaken the circus should be in Awwa County." Adryan responded calmly as he turned to look at Sasha who nodded in confirmation.
"What is he doing in Awwa County?" Charlotte couldn't help but ask.
"Clowning around and hiding." Adryan responded with a mischievous smile and this confused Charlotte.
Faced with Adryan's attitude, Sasha just rolled her eyes and answered Charlotte's question.
"He's out of Backlund to avoid a few things but he should be back the first week of September."
At that, Charlotte just nodded grateful to the woman.
He wouldn't ask anymore because he still didn't have the confidence to ask those things.
He moved a little to face the three of them and have them in view.
He looked around the training ground and returning his attention to the rest of the team he asked.
"So what do we do now?"
Adryan smiled.
"We will tell you how to digest the potion." When he said that he felt like something was squeezing him hard but he still kept his smile.
"To digest?" Charlotte repeated confused.
