Return From God Quest
27. New Pillar (End Arc 1)

The lobby was filled with corpses, red stains splattered on the walls and pools of blood soaked the floor. The state of the Black Wolf headquarters was so dire, Saskia felt like she was entering a different world as she stepped deeper and deeper.

"This is even worse than what happened in the main hall."

Comparing the circumstances of the Black Wolf headquarters Saskia realized that the fight in the main hall cost less lives. Most of those who tried to fight Karin ended up being incapacitated. Many were still alive but were unable to fight for several months due to being seriously injured.

But the situation at the Black Wolf headquarters was not so.

"It's like a monster just got out of control."

Saskia covered her nose and mouth as she walked through the hall, the strong smell of rancid and the sight of scattered body parts made Saskia feel nauseous.

"What if during the previous fight in the female main hall it only held back?."

Saskia's face began to pale, she felt unable to bear being inside the area any longer.

"I can't imagine how strong Iron Maiden would be if she had held back all this time."

Saskia felt lucky to find the room in the elevator still clean, but she thought if possible she would find a horror scene where a pile of mutilated bodies filled the elevator.

"Maybe I'll pass out if something like that really happens."

Taking the Saskia elevator to the third floor, the situation on the floor was even worse than the one below. Saskia had expected this to happen, she concluded that the Black Wolf members in the headquarters were gathered on the top floor to protect the higher-ups and bosses.

But seeing from the current state of affairs Saskia could deduce if their defensive efforts ended badly.

"Sad."

His tongue clucked in annoyance when accidentally his shoes stepped on a chunk of flesh that spurted blood when stepped on, as a result his shoes were dirty with red liquid.

"I was careful." Saskia was more concerned with her dirty shoes than the corpse she had stepped on. "Why sympathize with a corpse that can't be used? After all, this kind of thing has often happened, which is different only once." Her thought.

Saskia stopped in front of the big door, around the door were many faces that she recognized as members of the upper class of black wolves. They must have been ordered to protect the important people inside.

"If they don't even survive it means that the Black Wolf will certainly be destroyed."

The door was knocked, the voice of a woman was heard from inside giving permission to enter. As soon as the door opened Saskia felt its very different atmosphere, she did not see the slightest bloodstain in the room, the fishy smell outside instantly vanished replaced by the soothing aroma of therapy.

Looking around Saskia found five people including Iron Maiden sitting in front of the television without clothes, while a rabbit-masked woman tried to treat her injuries.

They were all wearing different beast masks except for one girl, upon seeing the face of the maskless girl Saskia easily recognized him because he was so famous these days as a kidnap victim.

Seeing the existence of the daughter of rich businessman Rusdi Tanjung in that place made Siska start thinking about the purpose of Iron Maiden's arrival to the black market.

"You must have noticed, right?."

Karin said as she continued watching the television, Rasya beside her wrapped the wound on her body with a bandage. While the other three stared at Saskia suspiciously.

"Is that all you want to take?."

Rayhan and Rasya stared angrily at Saskia because her words seemed to admire Asami as just an item.

"Yes, but not really."

Karin's answer sounded ambiguous.

Karin also explained that it was her job just to save the client's daughter, but after entering the black market she became interested in the business in this place.

Saskia frowned at Karin's words, not knowing what she was planning. There was no way anyone would allow him to join the dark business community after what he did caused a lot of harm to many.

‘Except..’

Saskia's eyes widened after thinking about the possibilities, then when she looked at Karin, Saskia realized that the iron helmeted woman was thinking the same thing with her.

"They're gathering in one place, aren't they?."

Once again Saskia is shocked to learn that Karin intends to eliminate all those who could potentially deny her existence on the black market. Perhaps even his intention from the beginning was indeed to eliminate the pseudo dark organization.

Saskia's question suddenly made everyone speechless, so Karin turned her gaze from the television towards the bespectacled woman.

"I don't know how you think until you end up at that conclusion."

True Saskia had mistakenly thrown the question. The four people who were at the same time Karin questioned whether Saskia's vision was disturbed so that she did not see the many corpses in the main hall and this building.

Slaughter is something a Hero cannot do.

"I'm just a businessman, moving only for profit." Karin.

Saskia nodded as if understanding, she was grateful that Karin was not someone who tried to eradicate the dark organizations just for reasons of justice, she said, assume everything he does is for the good but does not want to know the long-term consequences that can occur.

"So what are you planning?."

Kirain silently heard the question, Saskia could see the smile behind her iron helmet.

"I will tear down all the pillars and erect a new one."

He's planning reform on the black market. Saskia thinks Karin's plan is impossible, but not impossible. Many problems will try to get in the way of Karin's plans.

'But if it is remembered about the power of women what kind of problem is able to stop it?.'

Saskia's heart was pounding, she felt something as strange as Spirit. He thought it might be possible to use the Iron Maiden for his own purposes.

‘Truely maybe I can be friends with him.’

The two also began a deal, then Karin joined Saskia to meet with the chairman of the organization that still exists.

Various emotions were shown by the leaders of the organization when they saw Karin coming with Siska. Many were angry and frightened, but they were also curious about the female figure behind the helmet.

Karin gave an excuse to all of them if the attack he did was based on the need for mission completion. Hearing that excuse irritated them and demanded compensation.

"Just ask for compensation to the Black Wolf that forced me into this manhole!."

Karin's reply further enraged them.

"After you slaughtered the entire Black Wolf?l, how can we ask for damages?." One of the leaders said in a cynical tone,

"Oh, that's easy." Karin pulled out her sword, seeing that made everyone shiver in horror.

"You can ask for compensation to the Black Wolf in the afterlife." Karin's voice sounded so cheerful, but in the hearing of the leaders of the organization only heard the angel of death who was about to take his life.

Everyone was aware that if the complaints continued to be made then Karin would not hesitate to silence them with her sword. A very easy way to understand especially for those who are struggling with dirty business.

Because no one dared to express objections when Saskia said the formation of a new organization owned by Karin with it Iron Maiden officially became part of the Black Market with its own organization.

Black Company's.

"Thank you for letting me join. Hopefully we can work together in the future."

Karin behaves like a new employee. The other leader simply stared apathetically, Karin knew that after this there would be a lot of problems that she would have to deal with, especially about the revenge of the central Black Market party.

"It would be a lot of trouble."

Central black market levels are very different from branches. He had to grow stronger to deal with everything, Karin was there once not planning to die before the arrival of Dark Age.

\[Arc 1 End\]

\*Author's message: it finally ends also the first arc. Really, why is this the story? My original plan was to make Dark Age happen not long after the MC did Regrasi. But because I do not want to jump into chaos, I also make small details telling the time before Dark Age occurred, uh but even the continuity to the full Arc (applause). I hope the readers do not get bored because the storyline is too long-winded.

\*Additional: please provide any comments as it will make the author become eager to write. Often authors feel insecure when they see a comment column of less than ten, it's also most comments from the author himself who replies to other people's comments.

So please come.
