"That is good to know. Thank you, Cris." Naga said and smiled brightly.

'It seems that the Boss really likes the young miss. I need to send people to help the young miss secretly.' Cris thought to himself.

Cris was able to recruit reliable men. He recruited some of his friends too. With the funds given to him by Naga, he was able to create a wide network in the city. He is now actually trying to extend it to the empire's capital.

He now have people within the commoners, merchants, guards, officials and city mansion too. Also, most of them doesn't know that they are truly working for Naga and Cris.

Cris is really showing his talent in gathering and concealing information.

"Boss, the leader of the Pround Tiger Alliance wanted to meet you." Cris said respectfully.

"I see." Naga nodded and smiled.

"Miss Yuna will be at the meeting. We need to be careful, Boss." Cris said with a serious tone.

"I understand. Go tell Alfred and Dubanov." Naga responded.

Naga knew that Cris will not let him go without powerful guards.

"Yes, Boss." Cris answered and bowed.

Cris investigated Yuna and found out that she used a lot of ident.i.ty within the city. He also can't find any other information about her too.

It was sunset when Dubanov and Alfred arrived.

"Greetings, Boss." Both young men bowed and greeted him.

Naga nooded at them. He looked at the black carriage and was surprised. It was bigger than the previous carriage he is using. It has now golden door handles and there's a faint aura of arcane which means that this carriage is magical. The two Horses are also wearing dark armors.

"Good. Let's go." Naga said and entered the carriage.

Ian bowed and closed the door after Naga and Alfred entered the carriage. Dubanov seated at the driver's side with Ian.

They went to the eastern district. This is the place where most gangs are located. In this place, gangs are the rulers. It is also the biggest district in the city.

"The Iron Crows!" Someone shouted. The weak gangs avoided the carriage. They gave way and backed down.

"What a carriage! Is it Lord Willard?" An old ganster asked.

He believed that not just anyone can ride a grand carriage like this one. He looked at the driver's seat and saw Dubanov, a man who's like a ferocious beast.

It is actually a different and special carriage. When Old Samuel heard that Ian is now Naga's personal driver and a member of his Silver Sparrow. He asked the disciples of Old Drun to give the latest war chariot they created to Ian. He also asked them to modify it so it can be a carriage.

"So it is true." A gang leader watching from his mansion exclaimed when the carriage stopped at the Profound Tiger's base.

The members of the alliance expected Naga's arrival but they were also shocked when they saw the carriage.

"This is not something you will use for traveling, right?" A confused gangster asked.

"A chariot of war." A veteran gangster responded.

Yuna and the leader of the alliance is looking at them.

"The True Lord of the Iron Crow." Yuna said.

Dubanov stood up and walked towards the gate.

'What a f*ck*ng monster?!' The gangsters unconsciously stepped backwards.

The gangsters looked at him and were scared because of his huge frame. They can feel the power coming from his dark tattoo as well.

"Greetings! Our Boss is here for the meeting!" He bowed and said with powerful voice.

"Yes!" The gangster opened the gate.

The carriage entered while the gangsters who are supposed to show their dominance backed down.

They stopped at the door of the base of Pround Tiger Alliance. 'Neigh!'

The gangsters were surprised because the horses are monsters too. They are horses of war.

Ian hurriedly opened the door of the carriage and bowed down.

The first to went out is Alfred. He moved to the side and bowed down.

'What a powerful lad!' Everyone was shocked when they saw Alfred.

Alfred's presence is firm and strong. After he defeated a high demon n.o.ble, his aura became sharper.

"A chosen of dragons!" Yuna and the leader of the alliance were aghast.

They are both members of the Cult of the Moon Eater. They know more things than ordinary people.

"Now that you think about it, that monster's tattoo is..." The leader was stunned.

"Yes, a weapon made of dragon stones and... a dragon soul." Yuna said with a horrified tone.

"Your decision to not mess with him is the right choice, My Lady." The leader said with a serious tone.

Naga went out of the carriage and looked at the gangsters. He smiled and entered the building.

"That kid! He really gave me chills!" One of the gangsters said.

"You are right! At first, I thought that he was just a regular commoner but that night..."

"Fire arrows. That kid is a demon who killed people while smiling."

The gangsters bowed when Naga looked at them and they started talking when Naga and Alfred entered the base.

Naga and Alfred were escorted to a huge room. It was a luxury hall which is incomparable to the outer appearance of the base.

There was a painting of a huge celestial looking snake at the ceiling.

Alfred looked at it and thought to himself. 'Is it the Bakunawa that Boss is talking about?'

Yuna moved forward and bowed.

She said, "Young master, welcome. I apologize since this meeting was delayed for a long time. I was asked to return to our main temple."

"I don't mind. How are you?" Naga smiled and asked.

"I am fine. On behalf of our supreme leader, thank you for helping us." Yuna bowed and said.

The leader of the alliance bowed as well and said, "Thank you for visiting us, young lord."

Naga looked at them and smiled.

"Please have a seat." The leader said.

One of the servants escorted Naga to his seat. Foods and drinks were served too.

"Yuna told me that you will stay here and help us with whatever we need?" Naga asked then get a knife to cut his stakes.

Yuna watched him carefully. She was quite bothered when Naga picked up the knife.

"Yes, I am. As a martial expert, I am more useful here." The alliance leader said.

"What happened to the other leaders?" Naga asked and then started eating his steak.

"We disposed them. They hesitated when we opposed the Seven Sword." Yuna responded.

"I see. You used that reason to totally removed the opposition." Naga said and smiled.

'This steak is good.' He thought.

Alfred looked at Naga and smiled. 'The Boss really likes the steak.'

"The gangs are dominating the east and the south district. The n.o.bles and powerful clans stayed in the west while the city lord and the officials have total control of the North. Alas, the central district is a playground for the merchants. This place is somehow not good to live, yes?" Naga asked while eating his steak.

"The Profound Sky is declining. Even the royal family of this empire is supporting the dukes who wanted to suppressed this city. Most of the gangs and a.s.sociations here are people under those dukes." Yuna said with serious tone.

She continued, "Honestly... without your House of Iron Crow, this place is about to go down in two year's time."

"I heard." Naga said.

'The talent of Cris in gathering of information is really superb.' He thought.

"What do you think, Alfred?" He asked.

"The residents, the commoners don't deserve this. Also, the kind old duke's family doesn't deserve this, Boss." Alfred said with a firm tone.

"Right." Naga answered.

He looked at Yuna and the leader, "What do you think we should do?"

"Change of structure." Yuna responded.

"Correct." Naga responded.

"It is difficult, young lord." The leader said.

"That's why I need your help." Naga stopped eating and smiled.

"I want to clear the south. Remove the stupid greedy merchants from the center. Also, destroy the unnecessary clans in the west." He said.

He continued, "I am generous enough to leave the east untouch. Of course, North will still be a teritory of the City Lord."

'This young lord is a true villain. This is not a request or a proposal, this is a command. Leave the east untouch? It will be his payment for our help.' The leader thought to himself.

He looked at Yuna and waited for her response.

Yuna looked at Naga and thought for a bit.

"We will support you, young master. It is already given that the alliance is under your command." She said with a firm tone.

"Good to know. I am thankful to Miss Yuna and the great leader of the alliance." Naga smiled and started eating again.

Alfred looked at Naga and smiled. 'This city is about to change for good.'
