Chapter 227
Robert Kain the father of Evangeline was at the back of his car feeling a tad nervous . He was sweating a bit even thought the inside of the car was quite cold . He was also accompanied by his wife Molly Kain, who looked equally nervous . Even though she didn't know what kind of family the Samritas were, she knew that a family that could make her husband this nervous was no laughing matter .
The two of them were heading to the place were the Samaritas live, the two Kains were heading there to have dinner with the Samaritas . This was a family that wasn't only rich, but was led by a person who had actual fighting strength . In wealth alone, the Samaritas surpass the Kains, but not only that they surpass the Kains almost in all areas . Even the personal strengths of their people were far too different .
The only thing the Kains had an advantage in was that they had a long family history . They are one of the few existing families that were there during the creation of Berdonia . Aside from that history the Kains hold no advantage whatsoever to the Samaritas . In face of that overwhelming difference they had no words to say .
Not only that a close friend of the Samaritas will be dinning with them . It was none other than the Regius family . At first Robert didn't know anything about the Regius family, so he did a quick search about them . After a few minutes his subordinates found a lot about the Regius family . It would seem that they are a very famous family in the city .
The Regius were a martial arts family that has created a powerful barehanded martial art . The father in particular was a very famous individual . He was so famous that some of Robert's men who were former mercs immediately noticed who he was when they saw his picture . The moment those former mercs that were his bodyguards saw the picture of Dan Regius most of the started to tremble in fear, some even knelt and started to pray . While the others started to scream .
"It's the devil! It's the devil! It's the devil!"
Robert was confused as to why all these hardened veterans of the battlefield suddenly got so scared . The oldest one of them who wasn't panicking answered this question .
"In the battlefield there are some individuals that most mercs would run away from . There are the ten generals of the Empire . Then there are mythical mercs of the Shadow Mercenaries . Then the three saints of the Southern Union . Finally the five strongest of Berdonia, well some say that it's the seven strongest . Well that's not that important, what's important to know is that man Dan Regius is part of the five strongest of Berdonia . He is the one they called the blond devil . "
'Well that explains why the others keep on screaming devil in fright'
"Among the five strongest Dan Regius is the second most feared merc . He is only second to the strongest merc of Berdonia Lyner . "
"Does that mean he is the second strongest?" Robert asked wanting to gain a bit more knowledge about Dan . The former merc shook his head as he answered .
"That's not necessarily true . The number one spot obviously goes to Lyner, the so called monster of the battlefield . His strength is so above the others that spot would be handed to him by the other four willingly . Now the second strongest position is a bit confusing as to who owns the position, since among the four only Dan is known by the majority of the mercs . The other three exist but those who are targeted by them are killed in secret so not much is known of the three by normal mercs . Dan Regius on the other hand likes doing things out in the open, and those who witnessed his way of fighting barehanded in a place full of fully armed men was awe inspiring . "
Listening to the former merc go on and on about the stories of Dan Regius, made Robert a bit scared of the man . Well in his defense any normal person will be scared if they were about to meet a man that can crush tanks with nothing but his bare hands .
. . .
After hearing all those stories about Dan made Robert a bit nervous . It would seem that he and his wife would be in the lowest position when they get there . Seeing her husband who was usually so fearless look like that, made Molly a bit worried as well . She then held the shaking hand of her husband and spoke in the calmest tone she could muster .
"It's going to be alright . It's just dinner . " Hearing his wife reassure him that everything will be alright, just made Robert feel bad . What kind of man was he to make his wife worry and tell him it will be alright . Wasn't he the one who was suppose to reassure his wife . So to show that he was alright, Robert showed the best smile he could and nodded his head in agreement .
. . .
The two Kains finally reached the mansion of the Samaritas and as they expected, even in the distance they could see how much bigger it is than there own mansion . When they got out of the car, they were greeted by a beautiful maid, who guided them inside the mansion . As they entered the mansion they were once again greeted this time by a row of maids and butlers .
"Welcome!" Their voiced echoed throughout the hall . Robert and Molly were from the upper class, but even they were overwhelmed by what they saw . The whole mansion was filled with priceless objects, and even though he wasn't a fighter Robert noticed that most of the maids and butlers had weapons and seem to be quite proficient in using them .
'They must double as bodyguards as well . '
The two Kains who were guided deeper into the mansion were amazed by most of what they saw . This truly showed them that the difference in wealth between the Samaritas and them, wasn't just a few zeroes .
The maid who was guiding them, stopped in front of a door .
"We have arrived at the dinning table . " Hearing what the maid said, Robert and Molly readied themselves to what's to come .
