"She didn't." Luther sighs, hating the fact that Arwin really won that fight, he didn't like admitting losing to her, but Luther continues, "I cheated by sneaking in that dagger, but she managed to get it from me and used it against me. I can't protest about something I brought upon myself."
"If she beat you, then why didn't she say so? She seems to be the bragging type."
Luther ponders, “Indeed. That’s the question. Could it really be…?”
“What?”
Luther hesitates, but in the end, he didn't tell Simon about his suspicions. Instead, Luther changes the topic. He says, "About Sinas, are the preparations complete?"
Simon nods.
"I'm beginning to think that Sinas is behind all this. W

The Night Rose Chapter 138
Everyone is surprised, although they expected John; they are just as surprised given John's posture. He seems like he barely escaped Night Rose, which would mean that their plan did not go accordingly.John says, “The plan screwed-“But before he can say anything further, Sinas instinctively covers John’s mouth and whispers, “Quiet, did you just escape Night Rose?”John nods.“Act calm. They are going to search this place in a matter of time to know who John is working for.”“What do you mean?” John asks, “They’re only going to think that I was the one behind it- that I injected Nexus and-““I’m sorry, what? What did you inject my daughter with?” Taflen snaps defensively“And what do you mean, they’re going to search this place?” Rosa panics as wellTimothy scoffs, “See, if a simple misstep makes you lose your heads

“Arwin planned to flush someone who knew her in Night Rose before sneaking in.” Taflen realizes with a deep sigh, “She’s reckless but agile as ever.”"She knew I'd go against her at the beginning unless she actually shows me her probability to win is higher.""That does sound a lot like something Arwin would do."Sinas smirks and remarks bitterly, “Of course I would know. I spent the last 15 years hunting her for King Damon. I know how she thinks- or at least, I understand it.”After everyone finally decides to let Sinas board Night Rose as Arwin's helping hand reclaim it, everyone piles up their belongings and all the gold they have right now.Everyone sighs defeated, they are short of 5,000 gold, and everyone has thrown in everything they have.“This won’t work.” Rosa falls to the ground, “That’s all that we have. We were only here for weeks. It’s reasonable that

As the commotion rises within Night Rose, a nostalgic smell of perspiration lingers in the air, and nervous gulps fill in the silence surrounding them. Despite that, there was a sense of chaos within everyone.Every member of Night Rose is there to watch, hearts filled with excitement and that sudden rush of adrenaline.It’s been a while- no; no one has dared to challenge Luther, let alone everyone, to a duel.And on top of that, a girl challenges him this time.Arwin lets down her dark hair and stands up with such grace and dignity in her posture. If she wore a hat, they would have easily seen Night Rose captain.But Arwin’s a girl, and it would not have made any sense. It was just unbelievable for some of them to be able to see someone like her, being a captain of a pirate ship.Nexus wobbles as she stands across Arwin with eyes filled with confusion. Nexus is baffled. Arwin showing up this early is too risky―being a girl is no

“Oh, so you’re finally stepping down… captain?”“You know, you somehow piss me off, especially when you say that word.”“And why’s that?” Arwin pretends to be clueless as she continues to press Luther’s buttons, “I’m just a silly girl, aren’t I?”“Know your place.” Luther fights back with his words, “Girl.”This also infuriates Arwin, but she smirks.Arwin and Luther look at each other with a piercing glare as they circle around the ring, both cautiously anticipating the opponent’s attacks. Their blades play through their hands as they continuously adjust their grips.Soon after, Arwin cuts their distance close as she goes in for the attack. Arwin points her blade directly at Luther, and she even uses her other hand. Using her palm, she pushes her blade, adding more force and therefore speed.Luther sees

It will be easy to manipulate everyone into thinking that she’s lying- after all, they don’t know her.…but Luther knows that he can’t do that recklessly. Night Rose might turn their backs on him for suggesting such a stupid theory.He knows that he’s going to need proof or, better yet, a ticking bomb to do the exposing for him.Either way, Luther knows he’s going to need Sinas in exposing the truth.But to do that, he’s going to need some leverage, and Luther has the perfect leverage to use.With a huge grin on Luther’s face, he says to Simon, “Bring him out.”Simon does so. Simon brings out someone through the secret door only the two of them know of. He brings out a young man with that striking physique and a spitting image of Sinas if he was younger. Simon clears his throat and says, “This is Luther, a friend. Luther, this is Sinas’ real son, Dylan.”<

No one knows for certain whom he can trust.In Timothy’s mind, everything is set. He will get Rosa out and start anew.That’s it. That’s the plan.Mark begins after taking a deep breath, “If John did escape and the plan didn’t go as planned, I’m with Sinas that they’re going to raid this place. All of us were seen with John, so we’re as good as suspects. They won’t let us board that ship, so that leaves us with two options. It’s either Sinas or Taflen we send up there.”“Cain is obviously out of the equation given that he used to be a member, and everyone would recognize him, and Timothy is out as well because of his unstable allegiance.” Mark adds, “I hate to say it, but… Sinas is right. Taflen can’t board that ship, and he’s too compromised given that his daughter is up there.”“What? You can’t be suggesting-“ Gloin stops

For the first time in his life, he feels scared. If he was still calm, in fact, he would realize that it did make sense to feel scared. However, he was so much into fear to think of anything else.With everyone relying on him, he’s obviously a double-edged sword. He can pick and choose a side that’s convenient for him to get what he wants.However, with everyone looking at him with such conviction and trust despite their history, it makes him want to do well.For the first time in his life, he actually wants to do something for someone else’s sake entirely.Timothy whispers to Sinas as he walks past him, “Old habits die hard, Sinas, I know what you’re capable of, and I’ll make everyone see it too.”Sinas glares at Timothy, and surprisingly, Timothy moves with all his might to make the chair he is tied up in fall on Sinas. Everyone panics and immediately helps Sinas up, keeping Timothy away from him.

Yet, that is why he still chooses to trust Arwin. It was a complicated thing, but he knew that it was the most right decision. Well that’s was what he wanted to believe.Of course, it was not because he feels indebted to her but because he sees Arwin. Regardless of the what the gender, he sees how she acted with the people around her.He sees how Arwin cares about her friends and crew. Human was generally selfish and greedy. The first instinct of human were to protect themselves and stay safe. However, Arwin would often choose otherwise.One proof was that she took the blame for something she didn’t do just to protect Gloin.Arwin knew back then that it would break Timothy so much if he found out it was Gloin because Atlas was their friend.Arwin didn’t simply act out based on her feelings about Gloin as her friend but also logically because she knew if she took the blame, Timothy would only be mad, but if Gloin admitted it,

Arwin walked calmly. Wendy saw her when the young woman said, “Yes, everything turned out for the best, they gave everyone immunity, and they decided to unsubscribe. The army’s way of doing things is not the best!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “It’s true. It is not! But it’s good that the republic doesn’t follow them anymore. They’ve been close to me for a long time, so you don’t have to worry!”Smiling, Arwin thanked him and said, “I know! The mafia has done a lot for us, and we are available. We will open a special commission agency, and we can take on any job. Any…!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “I’ll keep them in mind then… Tell me! On the hand, how does it work?Smiling, Arwin nodded, saying, “The hand works great! Just like Strickland’s arm, though, he only knows how to complain….!”Wendy nodded and, seeing Arwin said, “That’s great, but if you don’t need anything, what did you come to do? Just to say hello?”Arwin nodded and said, “I wanted to know how you were, but more than anyth

Arwin was unconscious and the warm hand of a person she knew brought her back to reality. Everything was collapsing, and a one-armed man was pushing hard to remove part of the railing that was above it.“Luca.”She whispered when she saw the effort that the man-made toward her. She placed both hands on the railing and, helping him between the two of them, managed to lift her, she looked at him, and he said, offering her a hand, “I was worried, and I came to see how you were!”She, smiling, took his hand and, standing up, said, “It was difficult, but I did it! Is dead!”Luca smiling, began to run to the side of Arwin. Both were injured but kept a steady pace walking to get out of that place. Arwin seeing him, looked at his bandaged leg and said, “You managed to beat Skyler!”The smiling young man looked at him and said, “Nine times out of ten, she would have lost… I was very lucky!”She looked at him and was sure that he was speaking sincerely. However, she also knew how efficient he w

Arwin looked at the man walking towards her. Her shirt fell to the ground and showed a torso full of scars. The man raised his hands, looked at the pirate, and said, “It is said that you were the captain of a pirate ship. Is that true?”Arwin tightened his muscles, and the smiling man said, “I also!”With speed, she approached. For Arwin, it was strange to see a person of that size move at such speed, the man launched two direct blows to Arwin’s face, and the young woman, moving her head from side to side, managed to avoid them.He prepared a strong uppercut and threw it at the girl’s face. She tilted her face back to avoid the blow, but she could only feel the impact and see the entire room move around her. She didn’t understand what was happening.She was sure she had dodged it, but now the whistle that deafened her ears was in accordance with the erratic movement of the lights when the next blow caught her in the stomach.She felt a powerful hollow in her stomach as her legs failed

Arwin looked straight ahead at the swordsman of the black knights, the corpses of his companions adorned the entire anteroom, and he said, smiling, “After killing you. I’ll go find that Skyler guy and finish him off!”She, smiling, calmly breathed as she squeezed the handle of her gun. In that place, the smell of blood began to permeate everything, and the man in front of her said, “This is it. It’s the end!”Taking a step forward, he pressed the handle of his sword. That action generated a reaction from Arwin, who, with full power, advanced. Their steps were synchronized, and in a fraction of a second, the blood on the ground splashed from their strong steps until they crossed each other and stayed behind their enemy.They both calmly smiled, and it was one of Arwin’s daggers that broke at that moment. She looked at it and straightened up, and looked back when she said, “The weapons of the black knights are unmatched!”Seeing the man, he fell to his knees, and slowly, his hands went

Luca watched Skyler. Every move in his mind ended with the man stabbing him somewhere in the body, and even though the sword was severed and its reach reduced, Skyler didn’t look fazed in the least.In a normal fight with a normal person, Luca would have the advantage because of his armory on his arm, but against Skyler, all those weapons were useless. Something about that person was extraordinary, and his ability to fight was beyond everyone’s expectations, including Luca’s.Skyler bending her knees forward, jumped towards him, Luca raised his arm, trying to anticipate the blow, but the union member did not reveal his attack until the last minute.With a precise sword strike to the abdomen, Skyler made Luca step back, activating the barrel of his weapon. He opened his palm so that it pointed at Skyler, and the young man, only leaning forward a little, managed to dodge the shot.Swinging his sword hard, he hit Luca’s arm with the edge making his hand do a huge flip, and with his bare

Arwin and his men arrived at the antechamber of the emperor’s room. They all looked at the door ornamented with the symbol that was the shield of the empire on the doorknobs while they breathed deeply. Arwin said, “Once we go in, probably if we find opposition, they have to be careful and attack firmly. We don’t know what’s in store for us!”But that was not entirely true, and she had a clear notion of what was waiting for her behind that door. Seeing her companions before entering, she said, “Listen, if there are any black knights entering behind this door, I want you to retreat immediately… if you stay, you will die!”One of the soldiers saw her and said, “We will not retreat. If we even die, we have to make sure to make your mission easier, and if the black knights are behind this door, then we will have to face them, that’s all!”She smiled, the support of her men always lovely, and kicking the door hard, she had a split second to see the formation in front of her.Four soldiers a

Holly looked back and could see Loid storming in, firing her gun and sliding on her knees to get behind the wall her grenade had built. Seeing Holly, she asked, “Are you okay?”She was happy to see him and smiling. She nodded, breathing deeply. Loid saw how a fragment of the wall deteriorated and, looking to the side, said, “First, we must move. This won’t last long!”Coming out of the side of the wall, he raised his rifle and, firing several times, managed to hit Ben in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Looking at Holly, they both began to run at full speed towards another iron container.From the ground, Ben threw his nails, trying to kill them, but they moved quickly and managed to take cover.Loid was surprised, and seeing Ben stand up, he asked, “I gave him six shots. How the hell is he intact?”Holly, with a hint of frustration in her voice, said, “He’s reborn. I shot him in the head, an explosion with a grenade, I even hit him with a forklift, and he’s still whole. It won’

Luca was right in front of his enemy. The man in the white suit was smiling despite the wound on his shoulder. The man was looking at Luca carefully when he said, “Do you think you can survive this time? This injury was because you took me by surprise!”With those words, the man threw himself on Luca. He threw a hook hoping that Luca would protect himself but instead, the soldier moved his head from the place of the impact avoiding the blow with ease.The man looked at that, but, far from being discouraged, he launched a strong kick to the abdomen, but Luca, moving with his legs, got out of the reach of the blow. The man started throwing combination after combination, but Luca moved his body kept away from him.The frustrated man felt the pain in his shoulder when Luca smilingly said, “It’s not space mechanics. If I can’t cover myself, then I’m going to dodge everything you throw… your physical condition isn’t very good!”The smiling man shook his head and said, “As if they hadn’t tri

Arwin was running at full speed. The corridors turned into different paths but they had their path well established. They exactly knew which direction to go thanks to Holly’s help. However, the girl had stopped responding, and that puzzled Arwin a bit as he advanced with a glance. A quick glance at the troops that were with her, the girl stopped.She was looking at her men curiously when one of the Mafia soldiers asked, “What’s wrong, Arwin?”She is a quick movement, took out her dagger and, throwing it at full speed, stabbed one of the mafia soldiers directly in the chest, and all the soldiers raised their rifles to point at her. They were terrified when she, without paying any attention to them, saw how the man stabbed in the ground became another person.The guards looked at each other and saw Arwin, and the girl said, “Apparently, he can change his appearance and clothes at will... I don’t know when he replaced one of you, but he did!”One of the mafia soldiers looked at her in su
