Hound of Revenge

A week has passed. The negotiations worked well and Karen has recovered. Although Karen was still weak when walking, she still insisted on continuing her house duties.

The negotiations worked well. 15 of the 27 chose to work while the others decided to be hostages. Three days ago, Carlene contacted Celine. Jason watched as Celine and Emily confidently gibed Carlene all throughout the negotiation. In the end, another representative of the Auger Family arrived with Carlene and immediately wrapped up the negotiations.

"Those bitches!!! I really want to kill them!" Carlene shouted. "Uncle Joseph! Why did you give in to their demands, you know they're extorting us!" Carlene looked at the man beside him. The man was the youngest of the three brothers of the Auger Family.

He looked back at Carlene,"Who's fault do you think it was that lead to this point ehh, Miss Carlene?" The man was clearly holding his temper. Carlene felt shivers when she heard his Uncle call her Miss Carlene. Usually it was Young Miss or Little Miss but never her name... Unless something bad is going to happen to her.

"I will deal with this from now on. For now, let them have their peace." Uncle Joseph said.

"Jason, you have to note the man who we had negotiations with. We will definitely trade blows with him in the future." Emily said. Celine nodded in agreement as she walked out of the room.

"Who's he?" Jason. Jason asked. He noticed that Celine felt uncomfortable with the man. This also led to how easy the negotiation finished.

"Joseph Auger. youngest of the Legendary Three of the Auger Family. He's also a former soldier turned merchant of death. But when he was a soldier, he was called The Hound of Revenge. There was a story in which his whole squad was killed except for him, and rather than going home, he hunted them down. This led to his good reputation among soldiers and mercenaries. His reputation makes in easier to hire soldiers and mercenaries, particularly those who were witness to the story."

Athena suddenly appeared,"I looked him up through facial recognition while the negotiation was working on and I found out he took down a whole town of terrorist all to himself. Jason, that guy is dangerous! It's not because he killed a whole town, but because of how he did it. Poison Gas... On a large scale. This proves what he would do if he wanted."

Athena explained other details he found. The longer Jason listened, the more the was flabbergasted of the decisiveness and uniqueness of the man. Emily felt even more shocked at some of the information Athena revealed, some which she didn't know.

"Emily, things have been rough for you recently. You know, dealing with negotiations and stuff. Why don't we all have a party tomorrow night?" Jason recommended. Jason wanted to see what the nightlife of this era was.

Emily pondered a bit and nodded."I'll ask the others who might be available. I also thought of going out alone but it might be nice to be with you guys once in a while."

The following day, the people who are going out were Jason, Emily, Celine and Sasha. Lia had exams so she passed, but she asked Sasha to buy food on the way back. Karen had to stay at home on guard and cleaning duty, especially when Lia was left behind.

Never did the four that the night was going to be long.
