Entering the 4-story building in the middle of the city with the most strategic location to access the entire contents of the city, Ashley was surprised by the changes that occurred there.
For a moment he felt that he had entered another building wrongly. He looked back to see the view of the front area of the building that he always saw every day before moving the world.
Kenny and Joan who were walking behind him became a little confused as Ashley looked back. They think he's looking for them both.
Ashley looked back to the front and was followed by the two of them who were now right behind her.
"Why, Boss?"
"Hi Ash, are you back?" Joan's question was ignored when someone greeted Ashley at the same time.
Ashley's men who have high positions and often interact with him are indeed more relaxed way of talking than others. Like Kenny and Joan.
However,
As Ashley just glanced at her, Joan's fist instantly floated right into the person's nose.
that person is not one of them.
Fear and respect are two things Ashley always instilled in her. That way it will be easier to manage them all.
The larger the group, the more fear they will accumulate and deepen the pressure for each new member. So without having to show it, each new member will automatically be afraid of Ashley.
Same with the big guys there. They were also afraid of Ashley, and that fear was balanced with her respect. The difference was, their sense of admiration was much greater.
The people who had together risked their lives with his boss, could not deny the astonishment that came to envelop them. Which even covered his fear.
Even so, there were unwritten rules that no one dared to violate despite just trial and error.
It is forbidden to call his name.
Joan beat up the man many times in front of Ashley. The rest of the members, who had been busy with their own affairs, were not even aware of Ashley's arrival, now turning their attention to Joan. Despite seeing Ashley standing there, they still did nothing and just kept quiet.
Leaving Joan and the person the woman was beating up on there, Ashley walked towards her room.
"Call Marc." His orders were on Kenny while walking away.
Kenny rushed to find the whereabouts of the person who asked to face his boss. After Ashley enters the elevator, the other members try to stop Joan from beating the man.
"Capt! Just stop! You why!?"
Joan suddenly stops when Ashley's elevator door closes. He looked at the door while thinking.
Because Ashley's attitude had returned to her usual after being shot, Joan thought she was back to being the boss she had known all along.
"...reverse belly, huh?" Mumbled the woman.
He got up and walked to the elevator to catch up with Ashley.
"Wait, why was I beaten?" The man asked puzzled by the attitude of the Field Information Division Captain.
"Lu died if the boss intervened."
Only from Joan's attitude and answers did they come to their senses. Their boss who suddenly acted strangely, already did not want to continue.
Ashley does sometimes do something strange for her pleasure. Therefore, they think this time Ashley is looking to have fun and has reached saturation point after 2 weeks.
Sometimes it is very confusing to follow the woman's game, because the risk is very high.
Inside her room, Ashley walked towards a table. He opened one of the drawers and took a wooden box from there. From inside the box, he retrieved an ancient Russian-made revolver.
While leaning on his desk, he waited for the arrival of the men he called.
Shortly thereafter, the man appears at the door that Ashley accidentally closes. Along with Kenny and Joan, Marc enters Ashley's room.
"May your sins and folishness be forgiven."
Ashley is not a religious man. No one knows whether he has a religion or not. However, there was a time when he said prayers.
Hand's moving. Both hands are now in front, holding his Nagant M1895. It was like a ceremony, an attitude that he showed as if he was mourning.
Knowing what Ashley meant the three of them instantly became panicked.
Grace.
The name of the gun he was carrying at the time was Grace. The weapon he uses to end one's suffering. A weapon that has claimed the lives of 4 of his dying men. A weapon they consider the greatest honor.
They would rather die at Ashley's hands using Grace than be killed at the hands of the enemy. But of course it does not mean they want to die quickly even if nothing happens.
"Wait- Boss! Boss!!"
"Praise be to the man who lives for the sake of his family and friends." Ashley continued while standing up, walking up to them.
"Boss! Let's talk about it!"
"Save the bullet, Boss! Marc doesn't pant for Grace!"
"Huh!?" Marc protested at Joan who was immediately hit in the back of the head by Kenny.
"Now come on napa."
There was only one sentence left before the woman finally took off the bullet. Raising his hand and pointing the gun at Marc, Ashley continued.
"Let me bear all your burdens and -"
Clenching his teeth to close his eyes, Marc could only resign. While Kenny and Joan still try to cover Marc from Ashley's point of view.
"explain." Ashley continued to change the follow-up sentence that should have been.
Not only did they not try to take Grace, or hold Ashley's hand, they did not even run away and instead covered each other up. Ashley is sometimes astonished by their loyalty.
Ashley, who has yet to pull his hammer revolver, believes his boss can still be stopped.
While walking back to his desk, he asked Marc for an explanation. But until after he put Grace in his storage box, the man still hasn't said anything.
Ashley turned and gave him an angry look.
"I don't understand what you mean, Boss!" Marc panicked.
"What job b***ngan."
Seeing Ashley who started walking towards him, the man who was the same age as Ashley was increasingly confused by what he had to explain.
"You're the one who asked them to behave like that!" Obviously the switch made Ashley confused.
"If you suddenly change your mind please give the first signs!"
Ashley who was feeling awkward, started thinking. He felt that the time in his room seemed not to stop when he left.
"...when the lightning cave, how?"
With doubtful faces the three of them looked at each other, before finally looking back at their boss and asking what he meant.
"Drinker?"
There was never any lightning in their memory.
