Chapter 227 Everything Has Another Side To It

"That's a bit…" Geralt, hearing my request, made a slight conflicted expression, but Paul spoke up for him again,"I will make sure he does that. Though, can I ask you for something?"

I looked at Paul as he continued speaking.

"I want to know… are you with us or against us?"

"I am not going to kill you, if that is what you are asking for. I still have a lot of uses for you three. Hope that answers your question" I answered, observing him and he asked again,

"After our work is over?"

I made an odd expression as I spoke,"Over? Oh! You don't know, huh? I don't think your work will be ever over from now on. I can't tell you the details, but things will get more hectic as time passes. Annabeth will soon tell you a bit about it. As for your brothers, someone will come for them as well."

"What do you mean by that?" Pleus spoke as he moved a step ahead, making a bit confused expression and I casually spoke,

"Don't worry. I will only use you as much as you are needed. Any extra work that you are tasked with, you will be doing that for yourself."

"Get to the point," Paul spoke as he glared at me and I answered after thinking it a little as,"A war is coming. That is all I can tell you right now. You will be told of the details later on by others. For now, you guys leave. I have some prior work to get to."

Paul's eyes widen as he connects the dots a bit before muttering,"you are creating an army… what kind of war?"

Though I kept silent at that and soon he too had a serious expression before moving towards Geralt and helping him stand and slowly taking him away from here. Pleus wanted to speak something, but he decided to keep quiet and slowly walked away with his brothers.

After they were gone, Lucas looked at me,"what else Blaze did?" He had a dangerous look on his face and I just started walking away from there,

"A lot more things than you can count… he will die a death far more painful than you can imagine."

​ "Was he planning anything against Lucy?" asked Lucas as he kept observing me and I asked,"what are you going to do with that knowledge?"

Lucas had fury in his eyes as he dashed towards the exit, but…

-BOOOOM!!!!!!

I kicked him back as my eyes turned dark black.

'That broke a couple of my bones,' I thought as I healed them up before observing Lucas and speaking,"what are you doing?"

I sighed before continuing to speak.

"I know it's about your sister, but keep your head calm about things that haven't happened yet. And overall, at least trust me that nothing would happen to her as long as I am here." He looked at me with a slight glare before he took a deep breath calming himself down,"sorry. I kind of lost my cool there and forgot that you are also there in this whole situation. Thanks for getting me to calm down."

I nodded before analysing him for a few moments to see if he was really calm or not, before speaking,"since I am done here, I will be going now." Then I vanished from there.

[Adam Blake's POV]

I am the current leader of Grey Rectifiers. It was a group created to help out the people who have been abused by the people in the Vanguard in their lower ranks. People need enough power to have a standing in Vanguard, but not all can make up for it.

Not all people suck up to others and prefer to work all by themselves. They don't like crowds and would prefer if little to no people disturb them.

Grey Rectifiers was made because people needed a place to be themselves. Somewhere, they won't face threats and bullying and work without any problems. It is a place where people could safeguard themselves against the Vanguards.

Vanguard has a dirty secret hidden deep within their higher hierarchy and it is my work to remove that from this Academy. This isn't a place where such activities should even exist.

'But it is easier said than done,' I thought as I sighed before my secretary came in from the front and gave me some really surprising news.

"The Icer brothers are here." "Which ones?" I asked, and she replied with a bit of a dumbfounded expression as,"all three of them."

I narrowed my eyes as I recalled the event that happened two years ago. That was the last time I ever talked with any of the Icer brothers… I wonder what happened?

"Let them in," I ordered my secretary, and she went down to bring them up. Eventually, the three brothers came in.

Geralt was making a bit of a sad and complex expression, and his two little brothers were observing me with a keen expression. If I remember correctly, those two have gotten admission to this Academy this year only.

"How can I help you?" I asked, breaking the strange atmosphere and the first one to speak wasn't Geralt but his younger brother Paul and what he said made me open my eyes wide blankly.

"I am Paul Icer and I have come here to tell you something. Recently, we found out who was responsible for the death of Alianna, my brother's girlfriend. We are here to apologise for-"

"Who did it?" I asked, ignoring the rest of his words.

A fury entered my eyes as I looked at Paul, waiting for his next words.

"It was… Blaze," Geralt spoke as fury engulfed his eyes and he looked at me and I… wasn't really surprised by that. I kind of knew it was him… after all, he was the only person who knew about my relationship with Alianna.

Alianna… She was my cousin's sister. We were related by blood.
