Chapter 1108 - Check And Balances I

Milos just nodded and said to Eurus

'Fine. You win'

Eurus just shakes his head, looking at his friend. 

These two people are Milos and Eurus. 

The years have been kind to both of them. Milos is now six feet five, with tall stature and muscle packed. 

He looks handsome with his evenly tanned face. His hair is wavy and he had that charm of a bad boy.

When he smiles, there is this hint of mischievousness in it that make people felt intrigued. Milos sit down on his chair, looking around the room..

Everything in the room screams luxury. Milos nodded to himself, thinking that this establishment is also quite good.

It has only been a few days since the Multiversal Convergence but they already managed to establish such tavern in the middle of the new city.

Well, when he looks at those builders raising up a forty story building in a matter of a few minutes, it is quite believable to think someone could build such tavern if they could hire a powerful builder.

Come to think of it again, this is probably why when the first Fall happens, some people like Hirate could easily establish back order quickly.

He sighed. There are many meanings behind his sigh. 

Milos was one of the Lost Boys. He used to wander the streets of Eden with other Lost Boys digging out secrets to sell to the highest bidder.

That was when he was fifteen-year-old kid.  At that time, he was with his childhood sweet heart. Young love, when he thinks about it again. 

Milos still remembers how he run away from the Forest Region, meeting with the Syndicate, and went to Eden, searching for opportunities with that girl.

It is quite ironic that it was the Syndicate that helped him go to Eden and now, he is one of the forces in the world that is hunting the Syndicate.

It felt like a lifetime ago.

As he grows in power and status, he helped a few acquaintances of the past. he bought a house for old grumpy Hank 

The military has some point system before he introduction of the new currency. At that time, he used his point and contribution in the military to buy a house for the old man.

The old man like always is grumpy and scolded him for wasting so much money for an old bone like him but Milos knows that is simply his personality.

Hard on the outside, soft in the inside. Every once in a while, the old man would send some dishes to his house.

That old man is always too shy to say thank you. 

He also met Burt a few days ago. Ten years ago, Burt was one of the Builders helping in to build that gigantic palace in Eden 

At that time his connection with Burt is not as close as it is today. 

Since Burt is also one of the subcontractors for some military buildings, Milos got to know him a little bit closer.

Milos still remembers Burt as that spirited young builder who wanted to build a palace that would stand the test of time

Of course Burt was quite disappointed when that world is revealed to be a Fake World. he was quiet proud that his name would be remembered as one of the people that build such a gigantic palace.

When Death Monarch decides not to stay in the Fake World and limit the potential of humanity, when everyone return back to Earth Prime, everything become a blank slate again. 

For some people that is something that is not desirable. But for many, it is a chance to start again. 

One of them is Milos. And he had made quite a life here in Pandemonium. 

Milos is quite happy that Burt is working happily again. The Centre Palace, the palace where the lord of Pandemonium resides is in need of a new overhaul.

Milos heard from some of his contact in the Secret Service that those people in the Shadow Guards seems to be going all out this time to consider all possibility of anything happening to the Palace.

When the world had expanded, there were a lot of damages done to the Centre Palace 

Some people found one wing of the Centre palace a few thousand kilometers away from the current position of the Palace

Hence, this time, the builders and the bureaucrats of the Court had decided to make sure they cover all possibilities. Next time, if such thing happens again, the palace might even split up like some kind of Power Ranger gigantic form

Thinking about it Milos almost wanted to laugh.

Eurus look at Milos and he frowned. Milos is smiling widely like he seems to be recalling something funny

Eurus was about to ask but then the waiter come into the room and began serving the food and the drink

Finished putting down the plate and the cups, the server went out of the room, leaving them to their private matters

Eurus then ask Milos

'What are you thinking about?' Milos like he was being broken out of something started for a second before saying

'Just some things in my past' Eurus frowned and then said to Milos with a hint of warning

'Milos, I hope you are not involved with…. some unsavory character from your past. You got a lot of good things going on. I hate to see my sister cry because of you' Milos smile faltered and he shakes his head

'Eurus, that's not it. I know who I am and I know my position. I know where to draw the line' Eurus could only sigh.

'Standing at the edge of the line, I fear that you would not notice even when you cross the line' Milos smiles and said

'You are there. You would tell me if I'm crossing the lines' Eurus close his eyes and shakes his head before opening it back again and he could only sigh internally

Then he took a swipe of the drink and savor the taste. 

Milos took one of the drink, a red wine that is made from energy grapefruit. The naming of these new plants also need to decided.

There were many new fruits that existed since the Fall. And with the advent of the Multiversal Convergence, there is even more fruits and plants that appears.

If not for the fact that most Cook had the default skill Iron Stomach, many people would probably have died trying to experiment with the new fruit. Iron Stomach is different than poison immunity

Milos himself did not understand it but from some of the cook that he had met, they all told him that Iron Stomach of a Cook is different from poison resistance or poison immunity.

As he drank the wine, he thought of a few figures in his past and how they still in contact with him

There is new Beggar Association. 

The leader is still Loraiss, the Swiss man. Though they have kind of upgraded themselves.

In the past, their association is located in the sewers. It sounds bad than it actually is. The sewers that the Beggar Association inhabits had all kinds of high tech gadgets.

The Beggar appearance of them all is just a façade. It is called the Beggar Association but the members of this organization is not only limited to beggars. It is a place where the disenfranchised gather together to protect each other.

The reason they name themselves the Beggar Association is because beggar is the one on the lowest class of society.

Milos saw one of the members of the Beggar Association a few days ago. He tails him and then establish contact with some of the Elders of the Beggar Association. From what he gathered, most of their members would gather back in the Capital.

Some of them were separated by thousands if not tens of thousands of miles. Some were even a million miles from the Capital.

The Beggar Association might be called the Beggar Association but this did not mean that they are poor and weak.

Even during the Multiversal Convergence, when the Seresian demons descended down from the sky and attack the Slums there were a few hundred Seed Forming members of the Beggar Association that defended the Slums. 

And from the report that the military got from the Shadow Guards, there is even two Elders of the Beggar Association that is in the Disk Formation level.

It shows how deeply the Beggar Association hides their strength

While two Disk Formation leveler is not a threat for any world powers, there is not many civilian organizations that possess Disk Formation leveler fighter in their ranks

Just because one could see a few hundred Disk Formation leveler during the battle of the Multiversal Convergences did not mean that Disk Formation leveler is like some wild plants on the side of the street.

Most of those that appear is from the secret forces of many organization and some of them are levelers who are in seclusion that come out to protect Earth 

When compared to the population of billions of people and only a few hundreds of Disk Formation leveler, one could see the ratio is very small. 

Milos had decided to pay attention to the Beggar Association as they planned to gather in the capital. But the threat level of this organization would not enter the eyes of the bigshot like the Great Generals of Pandemonium
