Leo spits his drink to Bobby’s face, with a dumbfounded expression, he points at the two.

He leaps towards Bobby and grabs him before repeatedly pointing at the interaction of the two with a shocked face.

"What the fxck man!? You totally spit all over my face and stop shaking me!" Bobby throws him away, he wipes his face with a clothing he had stolen from him.

"Emirose, stop showing off in front of me, I hate seeing a loving couple in front of me?" He mutters.

"Sorry, sorry, I’m just happy to see everyone again." She apologizes.

"Yeah, it has been so long since we had gathered, still, leave the three of us alone, it’s quite rare for us to have a drink without Leo’s clansmen trying to talk to us."

She chuckles and left with grace, Leo leaps at Bobby once again, he shakes him more vigorously this time.

"You knew!?"

"Knew what!?" Seeing his friend reacting like this, Bobby was shaken, he was confused as to what his friend is thinking.

"That him and her, her and him, the two of them." He repeatedly points at Sweet Fruit and Emirose, repeating the same question.

"Right! I forgot that you’re so busy that you don’t know what’s the situation amongst our former group." With a look of realization, Bobby grins.

"Yeah, the two of them had been a thing for a month now, since the two of them are both teachers, also, Sweet Fruit always protecting her from her persistent suitors, she developed some feelings for him."

He then whispers to him. "Who do you think made the first move?"

"Is that even a question, I bet my life that it was Emirose, knowing the personality of this friend of ours, do you really think he has a gut to confess first?"

Bobby clicks his tongue. "Tch! You’re no fun, yeah, it was Emirose that made the first move."

"You know that I’m sitting in front of you guys." Sweet Fruit glares at the two causing them to laugh.

Jericho watching everyone laughing so boisterously smirks.

He gestures for the servers to let the others leave, his absolute authority in their guild has been imprinted in the heart of the members and without hesitation, they left.

"You’re paying for all of their food?" Bones looks at his teacher with a startled expression.

"What’s that supposed to mean? Do I look very stingy to you!?" A vein pops from Jericho’s head, this student of his is really starting to piss him off.

"Hey! If I knew that you’re letting everyone eat free food, I would had gathered all of the members of our party."

Jericho’s mouth twitches, this student of his is really good at giving him headaches.

"Now that everyone has left, can you tell us now why you gathered everyone here?" Asks Onichichi.

Looking at her still short stature, those that hadn’t met her for a long time, turns their head and let out a stifled laugh.

BANG!

Bones was thrown to the bar by her punch, immediately, the other two that laughed hide behind someone.

"Stop making fun of Onichichi." Missel glares at the person hiding behind her.

Meanwhile, Leo was holding Sweet Fruit tightly, not letting him go, knowing that he might get punched next.

"World! Invading a world and obtaining them for our own use!" Jericho hurriedly said, not wanting to get punched by Onichichi.

"What!?" Everyone was shocked.

Jericho can see their expressions and explains. "Jasmine has asked me if all of you are willing to help our zone improve and stop those insects from invading."

"What does the mission entail?" Emirose hurriedly asks.

"You should know that the space gate is protecting us from extraterrestrial invasion, according to Sean, our world’s survival chance against those creatures staring at our world with greed is zero."

Everyone feels gloomy, if even Sean said this, then, they don’t really have any chance.

"They sealed the crack because they managed to obtain the powers of three worlds."

This shocked everyone, they hadn’t heard anything about this.

"The first world they successfully conquered is a place that we had experienced, Beast World, this is the only world that they totally absorbed."

Everyone nods their heads, they had visited Beast World from time to time and they can’t deny it’s beauty and power.

"The second world is still in the process of being conquered but they had already obtained a territory much bigger than our zone, it’s a world that Leo, Bobby, anf Sweet Fruit had been on."

There is only one world that came into the mind of the three.

"You mean that world that only has martial arts and a strange power of vital force?" Leo asks.

"Yeah, they call it Martial World, it’s already been influenced by the power of our world and it was Bun Bun that accomplished the invasion on her own."

Everyone can’t help but gasp, such a vast world was being put on their knees just by one individual.

"As expected of Bun Bun!" Onichichi cheers, of all the partners Sean has, Bun Bun is her favourite and her idol.

"Yes, the other world is also nearing being conquered but it’s a secret and I didn’t obtain any news, as you know, Sean is currently cultivating in secret, I don’t want to bother him and ahem, I’m too afraid to talk to Jasmine."

"Why don’t you ask Wuk?" Asks Bobby, as classmates, students, and disciples of Sean, they know the personalities of Sean’s partners.

"Wuk is now trying to invade a world that has Innates on it, sure, they are rare but they still exist and the higher your strength, the more likely you’re going to meet them."

Everyone nods their heads, the higher you see, the more you can experience.

"Then, are we going to pick worlds that also have Innates on them?" A world is big, as long as they are careful, meeting an Innate is very difficult.

Only the likes of Sean would quickly meet one as they actively try to seek greater challenge.

"Hmm, I think that we should pick worlds that we think that is of value and worth to risk our lives, we would also need to pick teams based on what we think is good."

"What do you mean by that? Shouldn’t we stick together in order to minimize as much risk as possible?" Emirose frowns.

"No, we would need to think about what we are going to accomplish after conquering that said world, both the Adventure Guild and the Ignacia Family has decided to ally together to conquer a world together."

They were stunned by this, Kommi raises her hand, she isn’t actually comfortable at trying to conquer another world with intelligent beings living in it.

"Do we really need to do this mission?"

Jericho didn’t answer her immediately, he first asks. "Do you know how many worlds are currently connected to our world right now?"

She shakes her head.

"Thousands upon thousands, those invaders, together with the traitors has killed millions of our natives and this doesn’t include the other races, only humans, if the other races are also added, the number would reach billions."

This made everyone silent.

"Kommi, I wish that I can live the life you want, Sean does too, in fact, he’s as kind as you, probably even more naive but because of his strength, he has to shoulder the entire zone by himself, him, a guy that is known to be one of the most naive person I know, awakened the Aura of Slaughter, how many lives he had to take to manifest such a cruel aura!"

Jericho gripping the beer mug on his hand and breaking it.

"Some bullshxt like with great power comes great responsibility, why does it always have to be shouldered by the kindest soul?"

He lays his back to his seat. "Around our zone, hundreds of portals has appeared, large number of native mystique creatures were killed by the invaders, we, of the guild knows this because unlike you guys, we had to risk our lives in the wilderness."

"Hundreds!? How can that be!?" Leo was shocked.

"According to Jasmine, it’s because of the crack, the space around our zone is the weakest link on our world and the portals opening around is the result of the aftermath of the crack, also, don’t spread this but from Jasmine’s words, that crack might appear once again, those insects are relentless."

Everyone looks at each other, they were shaken from what they heard, their zone doesn’t seemed to have a bright future.

"Don’t worry, why are you all so pale? Don’t forget, he’s here, that person that has always been protecting us."

Everyone was stunned silent.

"Why do you think the likes of Bai and his other counterparts are roaming our city? Why do you think that there’s no major outbreak even with hundreds of portals appearing simultaneously? Why do you think that we can eat, drink, and experience such a great life all of this time?" Each of his question made everyone paler.

"It’s because he’s there to shoulder everything."

He grabs Bones’ mug pours himself a drink and drowns it in one take.

"Why do you think that I’m the only person that Jasmine has informed? Let me tell you this, it’s because I try to help lessen his pain, she didn’t think of any of you, she only thinks of me and Bones, asking for our help! Her, the great Jasmine! The most prideful amongst his pet beasts came to me for help!"

He smashes the table. "Sealed cultivation!? Trying to breakthrough!? Fxcking shxt! If it was anyone else, they might believe her but as his best friend since childhood, I know that he’s definitely suffering! I don’t how but I do know that when I visited his home, the girls stops me from meeting him."

Taking a deep breath. "I saw it in Hina’s eyes, she was panicked and hiding something."

Everyone was shaken from his words, this was Jericho they’re talking about! The person that understand Sean the most.

"That’s why I called all of you here, this city isn’t just Sean’s, it’s ours too and it’s time for us to shoulder the responsibilities that those weak and pathetic adults couldn’t."

"I agree! The Harreden will follow your lead but we’re going to chose which world we’re going to invade!"

"The Glut family and I are going to ally with the Harreden family." Leo was startled, the two of them stares at each other before nodding.

Emirose gathers Onichichi and Sweet Fruit, after talking for a while, the three of them smiles.

"The academy will also pick a world of our choosing!"

Kommi takes a deep breath and says with a determined expression. "I will also pick a world together with my family!"

Everyone had decided, suddenly, a booming voice appears inside.

"Brats! Why aren’t we invited in this small gathering of yours!?" It was none other than Bear, sensing the pressure he’s emitting, Jericho can’t help but sigh.

"You have grown stronger, Bear." Bear was radiating intense pressure that Jericho had mistaken her for their principal.

"So, you had reached that stage." Jericho’s expression becomes solemn.

"That stage?" The others were confused, suddenly, multiple figures appears in the restaurant, they were Jasmine’s subordinates.

Sensing such a massive wave of energy that doesn’t belong to the Nascent Weapons nor from their master’s siblings, they, without hesitation, went to investigate.

The strongest amongst them is their captain, whom was a gold ranker but she isn’t even strong enough to contend against any elite rankers.

But, they are wired to engage any hostile entities within their territory and they don’t have any fear when doing so.

Seeing it was an ally, the Fox Spirits bows to Bear. "Greetings, city lord of Beast King City, we came here in respect and also as a warning."

"Bear, people like us are forbidden from releasing our presence inside the city, retract your vital force and come sit with us."

Realizing this, Bear hurriedly retracts his presence and shows an apologetic smile towards the fox spirits.
