Guild Wars

Shadowheart nodded to everyone and began speaking. "Its good to see everyone here. As you all know, we were busy fulfilling Draco\'s commands in conquering the mapped zones of Boundless slowly when we were kicked out by the update." 

"Basically, that task was our biggest priority at the time so we didn\'t have time to do anything else. However since there an update going on and we don\'t know exactly how long it might take, there is something that we put on the backburner that has to be completed now." 

The core members listed and nodded. Misery\'s eyes flashed as he smiled. "Sengo Muramasa right? The fucker was there fighting that old shameless mage and that fake cultivator. Yet he was also here in our world from what you guys reported back then." 

Shadowheart nodded. "That\'s right. The God Serpents went to seize Maria, an old enemy of mine with huge links to Nathan Rothschild, the fifth councilor. However, I don\'t know how or why, but this councilor has a Titled God from Boundless working for him." 

Xela pondered and shook her head. "Erm, I don\'t think we works for him, but rather works with him. At least, it didn\'t look that way to me." 

Armonia rubbed his chin. "Its more likely that they both have the same goal, so all we have to do is find out that gal and we have won half the battle." 

The Showman smiled. "Leave that to me. One look at him or anyone near him and I can have them spilling all their secrets… for a price." 

Sublime nodded at everyone. "Since we have a preliminary idea what to do, lets move out. Now that everyone has a bloodline at 99% purity, we don\'t need Draco and Eva to cover for us." 

Sublime turned to Misery. "Uncle Drunk Bastard, we\'ll need to rely on you to cover us up." 

Misery patted her head gently with a smile. "Leave it to me Little Princess." 

With that decided, the entire group left. Since they didn\'t have to leave the Central Country, they collectively traveled using separate means in order to not leave a trace. With their bloodlines and Control, it was easy to travel alone while leaving virtually no trace. 

Eventually, the appeared in a certain mall within the state that Nathan Rothschild\'s estate was located in the Central country. While they might not know where Maria nor Sengo Muramasa were, they could definitely capture Nathan Rothschild himself and then find out from there. 

They traveled together to the front of the large and expansive estate that was almost the size of a small town. The gate had hundreds of tourists and persons standing around taking pictures, so the core member group were not too strange. 

The core members inspected the place and saw hundreds of cameras around as well as many security guards armed with weapons watching the tourists warily. They grouped up close to the entrance and were about to attack when Shadowheart spoke. 

"Oh, and no warheads please." Shadowheart warned Misery and AP who were rubbing their hands and taking something out. 

The expression they made in response as as if Shadowheart had told them to eat shit while everyone else got to dine fine wine. The core members laughed at the two hooligans who were about to throw a tantrum, but Shadowheart was one step ahead of them. 

"Don\'t worry, how can I deprive my brothers? We\'ll blow the entire place when we leave, stylishly." 

Hearing this, Misery and AP_berserker did 180 degrees. 

"Haha, brother Shadowheart, why didn\'t you say so from the start? I almost doubted your love for us!" 

"Sigh, at the end of the day, brother Shadowheart still has our back. That\'s good, that\'s good. I don\'t know what I would do if Brother Shadowheart ever abandoned us." 

Obviously, due to the ruckus and the amount of time, the security guards of the estate had noticed something strange and a car full of armed men existed the estate and rushed over to the core members who were about 44 in number. 

The car came to a skidding halt before the group and the armed men got down menacingly, lining up before the core members with their weapons at ease. 

The leader of the men, an officer in a black mercenary uniform with a black beret on his head and black shades glared at the group. 

"You bunch of loiterers, you better disperse from here in the next 3 seconds or we will be forced to take offensive action!" he roared with cruelty in his eyes. 

Normally civvies would panic and flee before the sight of the muzzles and scatter away like rats before him, giving him and his boys something to laugh about later. However, this group before him did nothing of the sort. 

"Ohh how scary! The big bad man with the big black gun is going to shoot us!" Bella, who was near the front, mocked in a seductive voice as she placed a hand on her hip. 

When the mercenary leader saw her, his eyes lit up. His ferocity lessened and became moire tempered, but he didn\'t completely soften. 

"Hmph, madam, don\'t test my patience. This place is legally restricted by the World Council and we can truly take lethal action. I\'d advise you step back but…" 

He hesitated for a second and seemed to be thinking on her behalf. "However, we can let you go in and take some pictures of the estate while your group waits outside." 

Hearing this, the core members seemed amused. This fellow couldn\'t be serious right? If Bella dared to follow him inside, she would likely never come out the same way she entered, whether she liked it or not. 

Bella hummed and walked forward, seeming grateful for the opportunity. "Wow! Then I will have to thank handsome sir for this lucky chance!" 

The officer then smiled slightly, knowing that he had caught another piece of meat for he and his boys to chew tonight. Hmph, if the other captains came to beg, he might pass her over to their squads too to have a round before the disposed of her. 

Can\'t ruin the fifth councilor\'s name after all. 

As Bella got closer, the anticipation in their eyes grew, up until she appeared in front of the captain and a giant bunch of blood red vine appeared from her back and stabbed at all the mercenaries. 

The men didn\'t even have a second to scream before their were pierced in the chest, the blood from their bodies sucked away instantly, leaving only dried husks. 

Since others had been paying attention to what went on here from the side due to the uniqueness o the situation,l they saw what happened and were immediately frightened. Many people screamed and began to run while the guards at the estate raised their weapons and began firing wantonly. 

Misery snapped a finger and giant barrier enveloped the entire estate grounds, preventing those within from escaping and also making it such that those outside could not see what was going on inside. 

Happy Saint smiled causally and took a step forward. He raised his hand much like Neo from that iconic scene, stopping all the bullets that rushed towards the core members in the air. 

Bella then turned around to face Nightwalker with a glare. "I was going to infiltrate and find out more. Why did you do that?!" 

Nightwalker snorted. "Hmph, I don\'t like the way he looked at you. How dare they covet what\'s mine?" 

Bella\'s face became red and she harrumphed. "I don\'t belong to you or anyone." 

Nightwalker simply glanced at her playfully. She was about to open his mouth and reveal some secret, but Bella quickly rushed over and closed his mouth before he could speak, making him chuckle. 

The seductive woman\'s face showed dissatisfaction and embarrassment, and she couldn\'t help but glance at Nightwalker with resentment. Nightwalker raised his arms up defensively and spoke quickly. 

"Don\'t worry, don\'t worry, I\'ll buy you that diamond ring you wanted to make it up to you." 

Bella seemed to be mollified and walked away with a harrumph. Meanwhile, Noble Writer, who was nearby, had a question mark pop up above his head. 

"But we\'re all core members and our wealth is close to each other. If she wants a diamond ring, she can easily buy it herself, she doesn\'t need Henry for that." 

Kronalord patted his shoulder and spoke softly. "When something you want is bought for you by the one you love, it has a different weight than buying it yourself." 

Noble Writer seemed to understand but was confused again. What the fuck, how come the stoic and seemingly unromantic Krona Lord was very perceptive towards emotions?! 

Kronalord seemed to read Noble Writers thoughts and smiled amiably. "There was a girl where I used to work, called Grace. She used to cook for me and sew all my torn clothes up from when I was young to the day I left." 

"Because of the danger of our life and our position, I can\'t rightly bring here here, so I had to put her behind me , but I will never forget her. I will also never forget the things she taught me about life and how to love." Kronalord finished with a glance towards the battle that was ongoing. 

Noble Writer sighed and patted Krona\'s shoulder without saying anything, feeling like he had finally come to understand this usually taciturn and quiet man. He made it his plan to help him out one way or another. 

Meanwhile at the front, Omega Raider was skating on a manifested flow of water, humming the Pirates of the Caribbean theme as he took out a custom made, wavy blue Kalashnikov and began firing back casually. 

Soon, he came to a stop near Kronalord who was rubbed his chin. 

"I thought you pirates like flintlocks?" Krona asked with a playful smile. 

Omega laughed and came to stand beside Krona. "I mean I definitely do, but flintlocks are outmoded in this era. Gotta stick to the times you know, and besides, the almighty Ak-47 can never fail. This thing even works underwater!" 

"Now come on, your aquagenesis on land is better than mine. Give me a big wave and let\'s make a big splash!" Omega said with a look of excitement. 

Krona shook his head with a smile and then snapped his fingers, immediately, a huge wave came from behind and swallowed up Omega and himself, splitting into two separate entities as both men charged forward and began attacking. 

Meanwhile, Sanji and Akainu were avoiding the water filled with area with black faces. As fiery gentlemen, the thing they hated the most was water of this nature, which was possessive of bloodline power because it countered them. 

They could only choose a different direction as some guards rushed up to the two of them while holding bazookas. They fired unscrupulously, realizing that these bunch of freaks likely could not be taken down by mere bullets. 

As for Sanji, he simply raised his leg and disappeared, moving so fast that none of the men could follow. Meanwhile, Akainu continued to walk forward calmly, his cigar still at the edge of his lips. The rockets struck him badly and exploded all at once. 

The soldiers who shot the rockets looked gratified and excited, thinking that they had finally avenged their brothers by killing one of these freaks. Naturally, their faces fell and were filled with despair when they saw Akainu walked out of the dust unharmed, parts of his body reforming from magma. 

Akainu grinned and pointed upwards. "You should probably look up."
