MERCIA
99. Take Threats.

The Golden Lane Restaurant.

With a black gold card given by Elias, August invites Amara to eat at a super-luxury restaurant in the city of Royan. During the trip Amara looks busy admiring what he sees, Amara and his friends look, he always asked about everything he had met for the first time.

"I don't understand this you ordered for me" said Amara, looking at the food menu.

August ordered a few portions, the maid noted, after a while, their order arrived and was on their table.

on the other side of the same building.

"Mr Gerald.., the man showed up at your restaurant, he was with a woman."

"...."

"alright, set everything up, I'll be there in thirty minutes."

"Okay sir" said a serious-looking man staring at the dozens of monitor screens before him.

"i've never eaten a meal like this before. It's so good" said Amara, who continues to enjoy the dishes.

"How many days have you not eaten?" august asked amusedly to see Amara look really hungry.

"you don't beat me up, I have a dragon heart, my diet is unlike any other woman's" said Amara, who has spent three servings of steak, two whole chickens, some ice cream and a plate of pie and a few pieces of cake.

'hmm. if you just eat like this especially later fitting want anu. really heavy man who will be her husband.' thought August.

"Do you want to order again?"

"no. I'm full enough" said Amara, sipping white wine from a glass, feeling less he took the bottle and downed it.

'horrible' August in his heart, he called the waiter to ask for the bill.A servant rushed over followed by a man in a neat suit behind him.

"How much everything? I'll pay for it." asked August.

"Master, the total is seventy-five thousand dollars"

August was surprised to hear the waiter mention nominally, but he covered it well.

"But you don't have to pay for it, sir."

"Don't have to pay?" August confused.

"Sir.., this is my manager, he will explain."

August looked at the man beside the servant.

"My master's name is Scott Williams, I'm the manager of this restaurant" he said slightly bowing.

"Well Mr Williams can you explain why I don't have to pay for all this?"

"Lord call it Scott, this restaurant is having a birthday, we have some surprises and gifts for the customers on every floor.You are selected because you are the visitors to the thousand in this month." scott said with a friendly smile.

"really?" August looks happy.

"True sir, besides you do not have to pay, you can also get a voucher worth the food you ordered today, and also get a vacation ticket to the island of Escatle."

"Isn't that the island on the famous Etia continent?

"Yes, sir, but for that you are asked to meet the owner of this restaurant to just talk and take pictures, for future publications and promotions, are you willing?"

"yes, yes, of course.."

"Then if you please, you can wait in the waiting room we have prepared, Mr. Gerald is on his way to this building."

"Well" said August, he and Amara followed the man.

August and Amara enter a room large enough, with wow-have facilities.After delivering them both, Scott leaves.

"Mercia, don't you feel like there's something strange about her attitude?" ask Amara.

"Of course, I don't believe what he's saying, it seems like there's someone who wants to see me, and he doesn't want to offend me."

"Mara, I want to know what their purpose is, I ask you not to rush into action."

"i understand, I won't say much."

Ten minutes later the door August and Amara were open, a middle-aged man walked in followed by Scott and five well-built bodyguards. August and Amara rose from their seats.

"Just relax, please sit back" the man told August and Amara.

"Master and miss, he's the owner of this place..."

"Gerald. My name is Gerald Pyke." cut the man up while lighting a cigarette.

"Well, Mr Pyke, why are you looking for me?" ask August.

"Hahaha, I've guessed you must know the shit Scott said."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"I want you to work for me."

"Working for you?" August squinted his forehead.

"Yes.Working with me, I'll pay you half my property assets, you can own this restaurant right now."

"Why do you want me?"

"You have a lot of guts, I don't know how you took out the Black Eagle, I admire you, I almost fell when I saw you on tv showing up on their show, you rocked Lumeria."

"Even you carry a piece of Mordo's head, you know? no one can do as crazy as you."

"Sorry Mr. Gerald, it's all just the past, I don't want it all, with a heavy heart I reject it."

"Mr August. hmm. after what you've done, everyone's been trying to figure out who you really are, I'm one of them, you're amazing, you've got a connection to the PE90 Bureau through that woman, and you've got a connection to the PE90 Bureau through that woman, you're also in touch with the other Bureau of the police force, you know the work of the two women is very dangerous."

"Mr Gerald, are you threatening me?"

"Hey.don't get me wrong, I think Julia your lover understands what I'm saying."

"August has said he's not interested in working for you" Amara said.

The door of the room opened again a black ninja-clad man entered with a black chest in his hand.

"Ohh.. Abigor why are you here?" ask Gerald.

"I brought you a present, Mr. Gerald" said a ninja-clad man named Abigor.

"Hehehe. show me I want to see it."

Abigor opened the chest, August was shocked to see it.

'Captain Sanders.' August clenched his hand, his anger instantly appearing, but he tried to calm himself.

"It's a very nice gift."

"Mr Gerald, when do you want me to bring the woman's two heads?"

"I'm not polite, I forgot to introduce you guys, Abigor he's August's master and the woman with him is Julia. and this is Abigor he's a magician."

"Abigor show your skills in magic."

Suddenly the bracelet on August's left hand lit up blue, yet only he could see it.

'black magic?'

Abigor then touched the forehead of Captain Sanders's head piece with his two fingers for a moment and then pulled his finger back, the eyes of the head suddenly flashing glances at his surroundings, then his mouth opened.

"Where's my body?"

"Your body is in the morgue" Abigor said.

"Why can it be there? hahaha." Sanders' head piece laughed.

Everyone there was shocked.

"Hahaha you are indeed amazing Abigor" said Gerald.

"What do you think, Mr August?"

"I've never seen magic like this before, maybe the secret is in this box, hmm? I'd love to try putting one of your heads in there and see the results" August said.

"It's a difficult trick, if not careful it can happen to you" Abigor said.

"Of course I'm careful, I guarantee one of you will definitely see it" August said.

"Hahaha..I like this, tell me mister August are you also a magician?"

"Mr Gerald, you're being overly complimentary, I'm just a cheap magic trick shredder, I have to leave now or you're still forcing me to stay to witness another cheap trick?"

"Of course you can go, but Mr. August my invitation is only three days, if you don't come Abigor has prepared three big shows for you."

"I remember it" said August.

August and Amara exit the restaurant and walk to a black Bugatti parked.

"Suck..!" august said hit the car's steering wheel.

"Mercia be calm."

August took a long breath.

"the owner of the head was Captain Sanders, the leader of Hedya, the three shows were Hedya, Valery and you, he thought you were Julia. They threatened to kill you in front of me."

"Why are you quiet?"

"Mara, I'm not afraid of them, I know he must have something until he dares to act like it."

"A man named Abigor has black magic."

"Black magic?"

"In the wizarding world there are two groups, black magicians and white magicians, but that is only a term for the life path they choose, but black magic is the power of the devil, he said, I've never fought anyone who has black magic."

"Then what should we do?"

"Well you go back to Murcia's temple, tell me everything, stay there don't let Hedya and Valery get out of there without your guard or Carol, wait for me to come back."

"Where are you going?"

"I have to go to Proxima to see someone and ask for his help."

"Mercia you were chosen by that crystal you can definitely defeat her, you're the strongest."

"Mara, in the sky there is still the sky, what makes me strong are the people who stand beside me, you also say I can not necessarily defeat Javelyn with her spear, every strength has a weakness"

"Who do you want to meet?"

"Great witch."
