บท 36: Joining Earth Empire
"Let's Fight Terrorists and Save People"
.....
The expedition is coming to an end.
Terrorist Gang Leader: "How are our forces coping up."
Terrorist Gang Deputy Leader: "Sir, there has been no improvement even with the alliance."
"Rather, our alliance caused the countries to integrate their attacks which led to our alliance being the fastest to fall."
Terrorist Gang Leader: "What about our supporting countries."
"Haven't their support arrived"
Hearing of this, the face of the Terrorist Gang's Deputy Leader turned ugly.
Terrorist Gang Deputy Leader: "Sir, it seems that these countries are hell-bent on killing us."
"None of our funding countries have sent any support."
"They have just been stalling for time till our demise."
"Even some of our old funding countries have begun to fund the Alliance."
Terrorist Gang Leader: "Hahahahaha"
Hearing the news of his inevitable death, the Leader, instead of panicking, laughs.
His laugh was chilling.
It was not like a villain's laugh.
It was… more like the laugh of a madman, a psycho.
The Deputy Leader's face turned pale.
He had been with the Leader for more than 35 years now, and this was the third time that he had heard this laugh.
Till today there were only two occasions that cornered the leader to this extent.
It is only when he is backed up into a corner that Leader reveals his true madness.
The Leader has entered the underworld now for more than 50years now.
He was only 10 when he held his first gun and took a life.
At the age of 30, he began to build his own power.
It was during that period when he was defeated so badly.
Same as this time, he was crushed back then by his enemies and competitors who crushed him with absolute power.
It was then that I heard this laugh for the first time.
That time when I looked at his face, the person whom I saw seemed like a completely different man.
His eyes were bloodshot, and nerves were popping up.
He loosened his hair, and it flowed down his face and the side of his head.
Under the cover of his hair, only shades of crimson could be spotted in his eye.
At the same time, his smile seemed to be giving a happy vibe that contradicted his expression, which seemed maniac.
He brushed his hair past his face, and what came into view were crimson eyes on a maniac face that gave a happy smile.
A peculiar feeling.
At that time, we knew that not everyone wanted us dead.
There were people who had wanted the Leader and me to join them and work for them.
However, how could the Leader back down?
It was because of his refusal that we were attacked by both enemies and the recruiters combined.
Don't think people will persuade you with reason here in the underworld.
In the underworld, refusal means crushing.
We had given up and planned to face death with the Leader then, but his entire plan of action also changed when the leader changed.
In that battle, the Leader sacrificed all that he had built in exchange for the forces of the attackers.
That battle was legendary.
Although we lost all our funds, weapons, land, and many other resources, the Leader saved all our members.
It was that battle and those surviving members that became the pillars of the later rise of the Leader.
The second time when I heard that laugh of his, a long-standing country was bombed along with its residents.
That terror attack was something that is still feared.
That kind of loss has hardly ever occurred in today's environment.
However, he knew that if the leader laughed, it meant that something big was about to happen.
...…
While the Leader and the Deputy Leader were fighting for survival, all the countries that had been saved before this last expedition had all proposed to join the alliance.
However, at that time, the Earth Empire intervened.
The Earth Empire was the body that was created by the eight major countries and made to act as a peace body.
The members of the Earth Empire were all those who had been chosen as the 'Panel.'
On the bright side, it seemed that the eight nations created Earth Empire, and the eight nations gave its powers.
However, it was only later found by the non-World Brand members among the countries that the Earth Empire had mastered all the authority presented to it and wholly detached its status as a sovereign body in just a span of a week.
Today, the Earth Empire's powers are superior to the eight nations combined, as many of their forces were integrated entirely by the Earth Empire.
Now the Earth Empire seems to be expanding rapidly and mastering the joining countries' lifeline.
At the current speed of the Earth Empire, it will take just another week, and it will have the required prestige to establish itself as a sovereign and independent body.
Someone that has stood above all countries in the world.
