Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Part (9)

"Bar Olzu's.." Eren read the bar in front of him.

"Like the old bar" Oluo continued.

Levi and the others entered the bar. Instantly the smell of alcohol instantly seeped into their smell. Some people were drunk and enjoying their dishes. Also the barmaiders who passed by. The bar is old yet bustling with visitors, their impressions.

"Welcome-Welcome to the Scouts!" welcome the friendly bartender.

"We wanted to meet someone named Eric" Levi said without further ado.

The look on the bartender's face instantly turned cold. "He's not here. You better be right on"

DUAAKK!!! SRIING!!

Levi just kicked the bartender's leg and brandished his 3D Maneuver Gear. All the customers who saw the split-second incident instantly shouted in panic. Some of them came out of the bar.

"That's the Surveillance Force, right?"

"Is he Captain Levi?"

"Why with them?"

Instantly the customers at the bar started talking about them out of curiosity. However, they did not touch him. Only Eren, visibly agitated, worried about his identity being exposed, saw the news that he was a human-shaped Titan had spread rapidly.

"fine fine! I'll tell! T-please get rid of it.." said the bartender trembling in fear. Levi put his sword back in.

"Well, someone's looking for me?"

Eric and some of his men emerged from one of the rooms in the bar. Eric frowned as he watched Levi from top to bottom.

"Hey! You've scared all my customers. Just so you know I own this bar. You don't want to apologize?"

"Look, we don't have much time. Do you know a woman named Nial?" ask Levi.

Eric suddenly laughed. "Is that a polite way to get information? Digging information out of me isn't easy, you know."

"We'll make it easy."

"Well, then I'll do my way too."

But suddenly the bartender who was still trembling in fear approached Eric to prevent it. "Boss, you better not fight them."

"What are you talking about? Have you lost your pride? Huh uh?!"

"Ti-no boss, just-just-"

The bartender could only grimace because his words were not understood. Eric instantly coded his men to attack Levi and the others.

5 MINUTES LATER..

"Yes! This is to be flanked, Captain?" eren asked as he held back one of Eric's sneers.

"Cut off all his fingers. If necessary, cut off his hands and feet as well."

Eren Langung shuddered at Levi's sadistic reply as usual.

"Captain? Could it be. You're Captain Levi it-"

SRETT!!

AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Eric wept as he groaned occasionally lamenting the fate of his suddenly cut right thumb.

Levi glanced at Gunther for a moment then turned to the customers. Gunther who understood the intention of his captain that this was not worth watching by the surrounding residents then interrupted the customers who were still in the bar.

"I'm sorry everyone, if you can't see it you can get out. We didn't mean to be evil. We just want to get information from these people."

The customers who heard Gunther's explanation immediately complied and immediately came out.

"Suckers! Damn you-The Surveillance Force is crazy!" shouting Eric.

SREET!!

"Aaaarrgghhh!!! Alrighty! Well I'll tell you! To-please.don't cut off my finger again.please.." Eric's scared.

Levi screeches. "I won't vouch for it if you pass on false information."

"Yes, y-you take it easy. My information is reliable."

Levi let go of Eric. It also felt like Eric was crying. But in fact he can only moan while holding both fingers of his right hand that was drenched in blood.

"Banzo. get me an ob-"

"Want me to cut it again?"

Eric stiffened. He also gave the code 'not so' to his men.

"Nials. He is one of the most feared members of the mafia in the district. The designation for their organization was 'Possesser of Everything'. They are known to be very cruel. They took away all the property, food, and necessities of the people here. If the residents do not give it, they will use violence not even reluctant to kill. They also often do illegal arms smuggling."

"Why don't you report to the military or government forces?" ask Eld.

"We're threatened. We will be made into food for the Titans if we oppose them. They will know sooner or later if anyone dares to report because their spies are quite a lot." Eric replied frankly while groaning occasionally.

"I heard Nial is the direct assistant of the organization's boss. They rarely expose their boss's name, but it's called 'the Black Scorpion'"

Levi jerked. The name was like familiar to him. Instantly his mind began to guess. Not likely..

"Haaahh, why do they like to use names?" timpal Oluo's.

"They are very secret. All I know is that there's one of their bases across the Azu River. If you stay in the North from here."

"Do you know their target?" levi asked somewhat softly.

"Actually the residents are just their usual target to make ends meet. But actually, they have a more primary target.." Eric paused for a moment then continued, "Recon Corps. Primarily.. Elite Troop."

Levi grimaced softly. He suspects that it seems like this has something to do with his past when he was still in that 'trash bin.

"so yeah. All right, thanks for the information. We owe it to you" Levi said, then told his troops to leave.

"Wait-wait!"

Levi and the others were shocked by Eric and his men who suddenly prostrated themselves before them.

"Oi, what are you doing?" oluo imitated Levi's style of speech as usual.

"Please save us from those vile criminals."

"Huh?"

"And I'm sorry for our attitude towards you. I'm counting on you guys." said Eric.

"Oi pigs, our job is to exterminate the Titans. That's threatening our lives."

Eric was surprised that his request might have been too presumptuous. "Pardon me! I didn't mean to"

"Don't always depend on others. Wake up! Don't be a coward!"

Eric gasped at the words of the notoriously cold and sadistic Captain Levi.

"Come on!" Levi sent his army to return to their horses.

"We are just ordinary people just like you. The difference is, we were stupid for being willing to give our lives." Oluo added before leaving.

Eld continued, "It's better for you to help each other than to continue to be trapped by the mafia."

"You guys.." Eric smiled as he said, "Thank you very much!"
