Chapter 86 - Down in the General's Pit

General Folarin's office was pretty much. The very same way one would imagine the desk of a person who had little regards to paperwork but rather was a man of the present. Always taking actions rather than having to review paperwork.

With a table placed to the wall, at the opposite side of which there was a double door opening, both doors shut at the moment, a chair, an executive chair complemented the look, being closest to the wall. The table, as aforementioned was empty, basically, save for a few neatly arranged files on one end of the table. Besides that, there was nothing else there. To the far left of the table was another door, a simple door of plain faced wood with a bronze rounded handle. The walls are b.a.r.e as well, a singular piece of bulb-like object attached to the b.a.r.e whitewashed ceilings.

Just then, the doors opened, the double doors, and the two mercenaries of the Alliance House disciplinary committee walked in.

As before, they are dressed in their attires of long, white flowing coats that wraps the most of their body, delicately. Elias and Elisa have a hat, a branded hat on with the insignia of the Alliance House and unlike before, they have not a mask on.

After all, they were once within their own. And masks were worn, only when there was a mission to get done. One did not need to show or reveal his face during such missions as that could compromise a lot of things, all of which they, as part of the disciplinary committee.

They walked on, moving to the other door. Elias took the handle and then turned it down, opening the door to reveal a series of winding steps.

Steps that they were going to take if they were ever to see Folarin at the very moment. Since they had arrived, they did search for the General but he seemed rather elusive. And being that they had been gone for quite some time, they were ignorant of the new behaviour of the General where he spent most of his time in the pit.

And right now, after gaining knowledge of it, they had promptly moved to the private training pit of the General which was situated right under his office. A place where they were gong to by taking the winding steps down.

The steps were dusty and old. The General never did liked anyone coming down into his private training pits of late. Although, this was not the only way to get into the pit, the second way was through the maintainance tunnel. However, that tunnel door to the General's Pit had yet been sealed and marked 'out of bounds'.

The general's behaviour this times were rather suspicious. And Elisa and Elias had had their eyebrows arched up for some time. But then again, his acts could just have been that he was becoming reclusive as the time went on. And act of ageing, they surmised.

"Don't. You. Speak. That. Of. My. Daughter!" They heard General Folarin's voice warn, a cold chill lacing his words.

Just who was with the General as at now?' The two mused amidst themselves exchanging surprised looks with one another. Just then, a gust of blood seeking aura exploded, the dangerous raspy edge of it, scraping against the walls and causing a miniature tremor in the ground below them.

Elisa s.u.c.k.e.d air through her teeth, withstanding the faint gust of the aura that had diffused around them but still was equally as potent as it was first released.

It was like it had been restrained.. Restrained for so long.

Staggering footsteps resounded, followed by the falling of something. Most likely someone, the dull thump of the act making the mercenaries in the stairway to hurry their steps.

Soon, they reached the bottom of the steps, light filtering in to them, in the alcove where the steps ended, from the little space between the brown wood and the black walls. They took the opening out, pushing the door aside and walking with narrowed eyebrows as the sounds of huffs and combat resounded.

"Law of War." The General chanted.

Immediately, upon hearing those words proceed form his mouth, they hurried faster, dashing to cross the wide distance that was between the walls and the balcony railings. They had to act fast or whoever that person was, judging from the way the General's aura fluctuated in the air dangerously, something was going to take the hard way home.

"Oh... No. No. You don't want to do that." A shrill cry called out in haste just as the two of them reached the railings, latching hands on it as they looked down into the pit.

"General" Elisa called out sharply, her alluring voice immediately cutting into the chilly and intense atmosphere down below.

"Hm!" General Folarin looked up to the balcony, watching the two mercenaries behind the iron rod railings, his aura fizzled out now that the activation of his technique had been interrupted.

And indeed he was glad it was.

The technique he had in mind was a high powered skill. To activate it, he needed to forcefully expel a massive sum of Agbara from him to deal a one hit critical damage to Afolabi.

Out of his anger, he had just wanted to strike the errant son, there and then. After all, dealing with his errant son himself would have greatly lessened the burden on Ibiyemi's shoulder.

While it did not mean that Ibiyemi no longer would have the urge to get strong because she wanted to best her brother, a brother he could just as easily taken out with the impending technique. Sooner or later, he would most likely be found out about his being a tainted and the faster Ibiyemi was powerful enough the replace him, in that event, the safer the power seat remained within his lineage.

So, taking out the errant son of his did not necessarily mean that his daughter would have it easier. No, it just meat that the immediate pressure and tension she felt from Afolabi would be greatly reduced., if not removed.

However, the mercenaries, Elisa and Elias had been here to interfere. An at this point, with these thoughts streaming through his head, he didn't know whether or not he could welcome their being new at this moment.

THUD!! THUD!!!

Elisa and Elias dropped down from the balcony, clearing off the several meters drop and yet, landing on their feet as if it was nothing. Seeing this, Folarin grinned, flexing his arms in a stretch, please about the high calibre of mercenaries the BlueMoon Mercenary Alliance House had to offer to the public.

It was little wonder why the Council House of Ilu Ifa had sought them out instead of just any other Mercenary house, even especially when they themselves had mercenary houses in their Ilu. They had to come over to Ilu Esu, and for that, Folarin was pleased he had led such a fine stock of mercenaries that people came from over yonder to hire.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-pit_50603387175092615">#&apos;s-pit_50603387175092615</a> for visiting.

Tilting his head back at the stunned and speechless Afolabi, he flexed a finger at him. ���Get out! Take the maintenance tunnel and leave."

Afolabi spat out, fuming but yet silent as he scramble dot his feet. After all, there was very little he could do here.
