Nightmare Mythos

Chapter 167 Brigadier General

"Ugh..."

Clearly exhausted from being thrown by a barrage of questions, Cesar had to leave the main hall. He wasn't even pressured by their questions but the problem was himself.

By the looks of it, he ran out of social battery. Being with people just doesn't suit him, and even more so if he had hidden enemies that might be probably observing him from afar. He had to be even more extra careful.

Cesar went through the second floor which is still inside the main hall for the main event.

"Tired already kid?"

Being approached by a particular someone, Cesar raised his head up and observed the individual.

He didn't know when was the last he had met this person but he was finally glad that a familiar face showed up.

"Sir Baron,"

Baron, the one that was with him on the selection when he drank his Nightmare Potion, nodded once and replied.

Resting his hand on the wooden rail as they watched the main hall in the same manner as Cesar, Baron replied, "It's been a while,"

"It's really been a while," Cesar retorted back before looking at the other figure beside her as he added, "Who might this person be?"

The woman beside Baron waved her hands at him before introducing herself, "My name is Deane. I'm a Brigadier General. I'm someone who can be said as a boss, Sparrow. Nice to meet you,"

Cesar respectfully nodded, realizing that this individual was probably the most powerful person he had ever met if talking about the Army Rankings, as far as he could remember. After all, the brigadier general is much higher than the colonel rank.

In terms of Academy rankings, she had the same position as Arnold.

'Baron's friend... I'm jealous,'

Even if it was slightly disrespectful on Deane's part, Cesar didn't give a damn about it right now.

That was until Deane gave another offer.

With a low sigh, she added, "Honestly, I can give you a lot of time to think of an answer but for your own safety, you have to decide if you'll be my enemy or ally,"

Cesar felt the situation was starting to turn dangerous. With how Deane used her tone and put those words together in one sentence, he cast a dangerous glance and retorted.

"My hands are full but I'll take you on if that's what it takes. So if that's a threat, then we're going to have a problem,"

Deane who had been emotionless throughout the time she had conversed with Cesar, couldn't help but form a sly smile around her lips.

"Ballsy Sparrow,"

Cesar already had one hand in his pocket to equip the Librarian's key for any situation that would trouble him. Deane seemed to also not like the attitude he was giving to him hence she started to put a bit of pressure on him.

"All right, madam. You can stop now,"

Baron who was good enough to convince Deane to take this a step further, looked at Cesar and continued, "You too, kid. We don't want to have any trouble from here on out. And for the note, I'm not part of any kind of deal that Deane had to think of right now. It was entirely her intention,"

"Hey, why are you making this as if it was my fault?"

Baron shook his head and replied, "Fighting a kid is already one matter but forcing them to work under you is different. Of course, they would feel suspicious and doubtful,"

"Hey, don't lecture me now. If those bastards managed to get someone as talented as him, they would never shine. I'm not going to make the same mistakes again,"

Seeing them bantering on each other, Cesar finally found the chance to escape to the second floor since it seemed also not safe for his peace.

With already two troublesome situations he had to face when not even an hour passed, Cesar felt already tired.

Cesar went to the bathroom to cleanse himself out. Experience tales at empire
