Restless Capital

Ban saw what happened from Lucy's side from start to finish and he revealed a smile.

Even though it was too soon for him to send his sister there, he still did it with hardened resolve.

Although it was harsh for him to do it, he was only thinking for their future development.

'They'll use this experience someday if I happen to be not around or they are alone for adventure in the future.'

...

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Meanwhile, some poweful agents and prominent family powehouses joined in at eradicating the Demon Beasts outside of the Capital.

Outside of the Capital was totally in a mess as tremors and banging sounds resounded all over its territory. It's like a new year celebration was happening at its peak time.

Every single person in the Capital are wide awake. Most of them even panicked as they don't know what was really happening around.

If a gamer saw the scene outside the Capital, they might think the people were raiding BOSS. Which is half true since those Demon Beasts have Cores that can help them have the chance transform into a Profound Practitioner.

Not long after, Alice and the girls disposed the three remaining red hulks and now joining on the battle to slay the Demon Beasts.

Ban saw that many of his controlled people have fallen as they weren't match from the Demon Beasts onslaught. Most of these controlled individuals just entered Divergents not long ago unlike those elites and professional mercenaries a few days ago.

The hunter became the hunted. The Demon Beasts were like bunch of tigers that entered into a herd of helpless sheeps.

Every move these monsters made, a person died just like that.

However, with so many people involved, the Demon Beasts were having a hard time to escape the encirclement. They also received injuries from those powerhouses that hid behind the crowd to sneak attack.

Ban returned back to the office of Veronica and saw Michelle and the twins that were about to exit the room.

"You.. Why are you here?" Michelle was stunned upon seeing Ban entered from the other door which lead to the rooftop.

The twins also halted their steps and blinked their eyes in surprise. Almost immediately, they suddenly appeared behind Ban and acted like his personal guards.

Ban raised his brow as he stared back at the twins in confusion. He glimpsed the thoughts of Kagura as her intentions are to follow him wherever he goes, but Kaguya who influenced her sister to follow him has unreadable mind which made his interest rose.

"You're back." Veronica rubbed her head in annoyance as she read files of incoming reports that Michelle sent just now. Then she saw the twins behind Ban and continued, "These two agents of mine made request just now to-"

"Follow me and you agreed." Ban nodded while finishing her sentence.

Veronica simply agreed since she knew the twins were following him. As for why she agreed, Ban didn't need to know why since Veronica now knew of how capable he was.

"You.." Michelle got annoyed when Ban ignored her. She got even more annoyed that her friends decided to follow Ban without knowing why. Of course she can do the same and the Bureau Head might agree too, but her hesitation forbade from doing a nonsensical action. Moreover, with how Ban treated her, she decided to observe the situation first.

Ban still ignored Michelle as he sat on a nearby sofa. He didn't mind the twins standing behind him like a guard as his other attention was outside the Capital.

Veronica resumed her work and ignored the people in her office for the time being. With so many news that everyone in the Capital was alarmed even the Prime Minister, she has no time for casual talks. She showed a small smile thinking the operations of Ban was going smoothly.

The so-called criminals were fighting Demon Beasts outside the Capital. The fate of their lives were unknown and she was planning to capture all of them in one go after killing those rampaging Demon Beasts.

She was confident on dealing with those monsters as she deployed four powerful Commanders and elites of her bureau.

Her only worry is how will Ban deal with those prominent family members involved in many crimes and how he shall rescue those orphans in the slums.

What Veronica didn't know was that, Ban already done all those tasks. He even killed those unconscious Dark Breed members as they are only following orders from their mysterious elders.

Ban sipped his tea brought by Kaguya. He was having a little brainstorming on his mind about the matters about the Dark Breed organization members.

He found out from their memories that they are planning to raze down the Capital, but no intention on ruling the place for the time being. Their side goal is still to kidnap Divergents to strengthen their powers which is they usually do for countless of times to get stronger.

Even though he can easily solve the issue about the organization, he didn't made a move to eradicate the organization. He was planning to use the disciples of his Sect to use this organization as their stepping stones to gain experience. These Dark Breed members have no skills and only relied on simple elemental spells and brute strength.

"Hey! I asked you. Why are you here? You did not leave this building after meeting our Bureau Head?" Michelle sat beside Ban as she shook his arm like a spoiled miss. Her elegant demeanor disappeared once again.

Ban twitched his brows in annoyance while glaring at her.

"Yes. I was here the whole time. We spend all night chatting. What's wrong with that?" He felt like spanking her in the arse at the moment for being too nosy towards him.

Michelle pursed her lips and was about to say something when she heard Veronica's chiding tone.

"Agent Michelle, take this letter and pass it to Elder Alejandro." Veronica said coldly as she placed a sealed letter on her desk. She continued, "Don't disturb my guest. You are not allowed to enter here unless it's urgent or I summoned you inside."

Michelle was getting irritated, but she followed her leader's intruction. She was after all, a Silver ranked Agent. Her position is too low to ignore her leader's command.

After Veronica saw Michelle left the room, her eyes darted at Ban meaningfully before resuming her work.

Ban ignored Veronica's stare and beckoned the twins to face him. He didn't dally and stared at Kaguya.

"Why did you decide to follow me? It should nothing to do with the bet, am I right?"
