"Alright. I accept the cooperation."
"I'm pleased to know that you decided to trust me."
Carl's eye flashes in happiness when he grasps the man hand in a shake of their being allied with each other and will be working together starting today while feeling grateful that Z has been mostly performing a criminal activity with the sinned people that deserve what happened to them.
At least, because the Black Space Pirate has never hurt innocent people with such ruthless and cruel actions that he can have the chance to work together with the person that he has been longing and dreaming for in a long time.
"You will not regret your decision, General Smith."
Smiling in a charming manner that brightens his features to its maximum attractiveness, Carl confidence has taken a blow while feeling greatly disappointed when the man has never reacted to his appearance.
Frankly, Carl isn't being a narcissist but he is greatly confident on his beautiful appearance, after all, even if he hated to admit it, he has gotten trouble in the past because of it but now that he wanted to use it toward the person he loves to quickly fall in love with him, Carl was failing to get the result that he wanted since he didn't even receive even single attention from this man.
"Do you want to discuss more of our plan?"
However, Carl won't give up while loving this man even more because Henry is turning out to be the kind of person that will not fall just base on a person's appearance, making him far more perfect than ever.
"No need. I have important matters to deal with."
Not sparing another glance at the New Criminal Leader that has offer an alliance with his group of people, Henry has left without another word and completely leaving a sad Carl alone.
And while he drove his space car while being followed by the group of his subordinates that has been secretly guarding him the entire time that he was meeting a criminal leader, he has spoken at the voice call that he receives a few moments ago.
"So can you tell? I'm speaking about the truth right? That person is infatuated with you."
"...isn't it easier to just kill him? Why do I need to play with him?"
Snow that has been contacting Henry the entire has let out a dangerous smile when he heard him mentioning of killing Carl.
"He is my prey. Kill him and I will become your enemy. You can tell what I can do right? Just follow along with my plan, you're not losing anything anyway aside from interacting with a lovesick fool. Just like I promise you. I'll keep your lover safe during this entire chaotic situation, especially from your special criminal admirer. "
Henry that can feel the murderous intention coming from the person's voice has shut up because from what he has witnessed so far, nothing seemed to escape this strange man grasp while being able to freely do whatever he wants without any problem since until now, even Leo didn't get any lead yet of who he really is.
"That man betrayed Z, has taken over the organization that he has build. What make it worse is the two of them have known each other at a young age and knows what has been pushing Z to lead such a group. So a traitor like that, I'll make sure that he will wish that he was dead than alive after I'm done."
Snow doesn't feel bad mentioning all those information to Henry since its a good thing for him to know and see the hypocritical mask that Carl would be using when facing the person he loves, while Henry who learns the inside secret information of a certain group has suddenly started sweating while his heartbeat seemed to feel something ominous.
"Oh, I forgot, Carl has done all of those things so he can get closer to you. So that he has enough power to stand by your side and basically try to get your attention. So be grateful that I didn't decide to torture and make you miserable right in front of Carl. After all, you are also the reason for everything happening right now."
Hmph if Tyrone doesn't love you, Snow will definitely choose another plan to deal with Carl.
Suddenly a chill runs down on Henry's spine at the casualness of those ruthless words that the man has spoken, especially when somehow he felt like he was saved from something terrifying which he doesn't have any idea at all. nonetheless, his expression still turned colder while he spoke about what he just cared about the entire time with a dangerous tone.
"I'll do everything you want. Just leave Tyrone alone, that is all I asked."
"I know, so be good and follow what I want you to do."
And with that last warning, Snow has shut off the voice call with his older brother young lover, only to blink his eyes when he saw the wide-eyed gaze of Shane and Marc that has heard the entire conversation, only to let out an innocent smile as a response in which the new couple didn't eve believe this time.
"Dalle... Oh no… Z… you're so bad."
"Your Brother Tyrone will definitely show a disappointed expression when he learns that you are playing with his lover…"
Although they discovered of their friend being the well known mysterious leader of a criminal group, Shane and Marc can still see the nature of why they have become a close friend to Dalle who has now become Z, causing them to feel comfortable when speaking to him especially when Z didn't even hide the conversation that has happened, obviously showing about how he trusted them.
"It's alright. I got their embarrassing video to intimidate them if they try to protest against me after learning it."
Yeah… why didn't Shane and Marc see before that their friend has a rather bad side? They might have been blinded by that bright innocent smile of his, glancing on each other and nodding their head, Shane and Marc have decided that they also need to be nice to their friend all the time now or else it will be their turn next that will be threatened with blackmail materials.
"Snow~ Your friend is in danger right now!"
"..."
What now? He just finishes rescuing Shane and Marc, which he was sending back to the Main Star at the moment, so what kind of trouble does he need to solve this time? Somehow, the previous world situation is repeating once again.
He isn't going to be their nanny right? Anyway, so its Ray this time?
"Yeah, and Rhea too~ They have been together and was currently being pursued by the people that Carl has secretly order, which is to capture Rhea while Ray has been protecting her the entire time."
There is only one reason then, which was to threaten the only person that has military power that can be against the Smith Family during the Empire chaotic situation, which is Rhea's father that has stayed neutral the entire time.
So using force huh? To be even has thought of this plan, then Carl has decided to remove Rhea family during the chaos after he has uses their power, after all, threatening the safety of the most love daughter and only child of the head of the May Family meant that Carl will receive their resentment after the purging was over, something that needed to be removed at all cause.
Especially when Henry wouldn't accept the kind of plan that Carl is arranging right now.
It took a bit more while but Snow has finally arrived at the planet that Rhea Spaceship has landed over in an emergency when they have been attacked during the time that Rhea's has been traveling to a safe place in which her father has sent his only daughter to stay away while the entire Empire situation is in a dangerous time.
However, when Snow was taking out the people blocking their way while Shane and Marc have insisted to come along which has been given a weapon to use and armor to defend their bodies has finally arrived just in time to saw the moment that Rhea has tearfully thrown her body to the injured Ray that has received gunshots and was about to be gun down.
Only for the injured Ray which has remain stubborn has still tried to protect Rhea in a desperate manner as he took her on his arms and tried to turn his body around to keep the woman away from a harm way despite the pain that he was absolutely feeling with every movement he make.
"Rhea! I-Its dangerous! Please let go of me!"
"NO! I refuse it! Ray I know you will not believe me, but I love you! I don't want you to die! I'll come! So please don't kill him!"
"Rhea… I…"
"..."
You guys… enough… such friends, Snow doesn't want them now and so feeling a bit grievance of being shown another such loving scene, he basically took the remaining people with a much more brutal and ruthless move without the use of a weapon and only his mental power along with combat abilities.
"Shane! Marc! What are you two doing here?"
"You guys… how did you guys come here?"
Ray was stunned from his friend's arrival while Shane has instantly gone over to treat the serious gunshot injuries of Ray that was weakly breathing while Rhea finally notices the berserk man in the distance and has asked with confused eyes along with wary sound on her voice.
"Wait… who's that scary person over there?"
Shane and Marc turned to where Rhea has pointed over causing their lip to twitch as they wonder why their friend has suddenly turned dangerous and dark once more, although there was an inkling of what has caused it all.
And Snow that has been able to finish what he was doing with the fastest speed, has finally walked closer with a frown on his face.
"Now I need to speak about an important rule alright? Don't show me such a loving scene or else I'll spread your embarrassing moment in the entire Galaxy network after this is all over."
Tilting his head to the side, Snow fingers that have the blood of the dead people he just killed has run it into his soft while uncaring about the blood that has definitely contaminate his hair since he felt a bit better after releasing some of his uncomfortable feelings.
Gulp…
Everyone couldn't help but swallow at the gloomy atmosphere of the person before them before Marc who felt the dangerous status of his friend just let out an awkward smile before revealing the shocking information to his two confused friends.
"Um, Ray and Rhea… meet the well-known mysterious criminal leader, Z… which by the way has been our missing friend Dalle the entire time."
"Huh?"
"Eh!?"
And Snow that was about to start monitoring his lover while Shane saves Ray from the danger of losing his life has suddenly heard Flake prompt that causes his eyes to light up while the dark and gloomy atmosphere that remains around him has completely disappeared.
"Snow~ Your bad golden thigh is coming in our way right now after learning about your friends being in danger."
