The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 32 Will Isabella form a team?

Upon seeing Isabella enter the shop, Bara immediately walked up to her and prostrated herself before Isabella, saying, "Take me as your slave, O holy messenger."

Spontaneous Isabella was shocked to even herself to be the center of everyone's attention. With a reddened face held in shame Isabella said, "This mad man's mistress, he is a lost drunk."

Hearing Isabella's words, Bara immediately hugged her feet tightly. Seeing this, Aisnley and Fil were enraged that Bara had touched Isabella without her permission.

"Elemental force, the thump of the waves." Fil uses his powers to drive Bara out of the store.

"Toxic fragrances." Aisnley also followed by throwing his needle towards Bara, and managed to stab Bara's body which was carried by the flow of water Fil out of the store.

"You two …." Isabella was surprised because their strength was able to attack Bara.

It's not just the two of them who are angry. Audrey, Jasper, and Callix have also been preparing to drive Bara away on their own terms, they don't want anyone making a fuss in Isabella's store. Luckily, Ainsley and Fil had already done this

Isabella walked over to Yuna and sat down next to her. With a lethargic face Isabella asked, "What kind of person did you bring here, Yuna? he surprised me."

"She said she was your acquaintance, because I knew you lived at your sister's so I brought her here. Brother and sister-in-law are also not in the guild so I have no other choice but to bring her here." Yuna felt guilty for troubling Isabella.

Not long after Bara went inside again, this time he hugged Isabella's body while crying. The poison from Ainsley made Bara act strange.

"You …." Fil and Aisnley were now really upset. They pull Bara away from Isabella.

"Hen-stop! my waist could be broken" cried Isabella. Bara hugged her tightly and as they pulled her, her embrace grew even tighter.

"Please accept me as your slave! I'll obey, huwaaaa." Bara did not stop crying while pleading for the unclear. Isabella thinks this must have something to do with the power of time she used.

"Well, you come with me first, you're Yuna too." Isabella invites Bara and Yuna to come with her to the residence, rather than Audrey, Callix, and Jasper getting irritated by Bara's behavior.

"I'm coming too" said Aisnley and Fil, releasing their apron and running after Isabella.

Arriving at the residence, Bara instantly fainted. Aisnley's poison had already fully reacted, but the poison was not lethal it would only make people so strange for 5 minutes before he fainted.

"He'll only faint for 3 hours. I'm sorry for using poison without your permission, but it's all his fault for making a fuss. Who is this anyway?" ask Aisnley.

"Didn't you bring her here?" Aisnley asked Yuna, "Why did you bring her here? you're not just interfering …."

"Why are you the one who got mad when Allred was quiet?" Yuna interrupted Aisnley's remark, "What is your relationship with Allred so you can act as you please, huh? don't you know how dangerous a poison is? how about you use ra .. Umph."

Fil gagged Yuna's mouth with Apples and said, "He's a master poison master, he's been playing with poison while you're still crying in your mother's arms. So don't you dare question his expertise in that field."

Seeing Fil defending Aisnley made Isabella smile, in her previous life she also had teammates defending each other. It felt sad for Isabella to forget the good memories of her time with them.

"I hope to get teammates like them later," Inner Isabella enjoyed the quarrels of the people before her.

4 Hours later, they sat together, Isabella, Bara, Aisnley, Fil, and Yuna. 

"I'm sorry for acting silly in front of so many people. I was only surprised after seeing the holy power, to me that holy power was just a legend. It used to be said that our family's ancestral mother once served the owner of a sacred power, serving the owner of a sacred power was the greatest honor in my family. Unfortunately that honor has been lost for a long time, I'm really sorry. But please accept me to be by your side, as a slave no problem either" Bara said.

"Just boy. You don't know how hard it is for me to fight to be Mr. Allred's follower, I have to follow him for a long time even after being caught I get punished" Fil protested.

"That's true. I also felt the same way, it was very difficult for me to follow Allred even I looked like a perverted complainant so as not to be discovered, and after being discovered I was even punished," continued Aisnley.

"But we are different, I want to be a slave not a follower so I am different from you" Bara replied.

"Allred, are you okay? your face is pale" whispered Yuna.

"Please accept me." Bara wiggles Isabella's legs.

"Don't touch her." Aisnley brushed off Bara's hand from Isabella's leg.

"Their business of toxic women is ugly," despised Bara.

"You are my business, you brainless man" Aisnley replied.

"I'm sorry. I cannot treat you like that, no slaves and no followers. You've been a precious friend to me so I can't …."

"Why not just form a team? you can be together because you are a team. That way you can be near Allred, and Allred does not need to hurt your heart or himself," Yuna proposed.

"He's right. This time I agreed with the chatty granny," said Aisnley managed to get a sharp look from Yuna.

"You all come back, I need time to think" Isabella said. He stood up from his place and rushed towards the top floor.

"Team? can I form a team like I used to? it felt too heavy," inner Isabella.

The next day Isabella continued her usual routine of lazing in her rocking chair, she did not know if Bara had officially become an employee of her shop just like Aisnley and Fil.

"When are you gonna be here?" ask Callix. He came with a tray containing a cup of tea and some kind of cake.

"Are you tired of seeing me here?" Isabella asked back.

"It's not. Isabella hasn't come back yet, what's her job? it worked for you, right?"

"He still wants to raise a lot of money and ask me to wait for him to come home here."

"So you'll stay here until that day?"

"No. Another week I have to go, because my finances are running low."

"Alright, enjoy your meal." Callix brought back his tramp to the store, today the visitor is very much so he can not be too long outside.

"Huh." Isabella breathed heavily, as it was time she had to continue raising money. He can not delay any longer because time does not follow him, instead he goes along with time.

"Go! take this beggar away from here, he has stolen bread from my shop" cried a man who owned the shop in front of Isabella's residence.

"Bas on a stingy man!" isabella Mummings. He felt disturbed until he had to move out of the residence to see the brave commotion bothering him.

"What's this commotion? can't you lower your voice?" isabella walked over to the shop owner.

"This man stole one loaf of bread from my shop so I …."

"He only stole one loaf of bread not one shop so don't overdo it, you give it to him anyway. Are you gonna yell at that for one loaf of bread?" isabella asked to cut the man's words.

"Hey! stand me …." Isabella's words stopped when she saw the thief's face.
