Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 588  No Time To Waste!

In an exquisite building somewhere within the Vardos Country's Capital city, several people quickly bowed at deep 90 degree angles when getting a glimpse of the burly man in suit approaching the walkways with several other broad-shouldered men in suit and dark glasses. "SIR!!" They dared not look him in the eye, as many staff felt true fear when standing in the presence of the man before them. Walking through the long, windy but historical corridors, the man commanded respect wherever he went. And soon, he found himself before a well-made brownish-red wooden door. Don't let the door fool you.in the case of a lockdown or protective measures, one can imagine this door to be like the outset layer of a safe. Why? Because there were more hidden shielding that would pop out from the walls to secure and keep those inside safe. Without any emotions, one of the guards opened the door, allowing the man in his fitted black suit to step in. "Alone." The man softly spoke, yet his words carried an unquestionable aura. The bodyguards nodded, before closing the door and guarding outside the vast office space. {Vice-President}

Those were the words boldly written and ionized on his desk. Unbuttoning the top layer of his suit, the man elegantly sat with a heavy look in his eyes. Soon, he unhurriedly reached for his cellphone, now leaning back with his hands calmly drumming on his desk. "Any news?" [Not one.] The voice on the other end clearly belonged to a woman. It was odd to say that both seemed to be talking, yet their voices sounded like nails screeching on a whiteboard. [Forgive us for our tardiness, your excellency. But for now, we still can't find the missing Horseman!]

"Can't find, you say?"

The man narrowed his face deeply, knowing that they couldn't wait any longer. Anger won't solve anything. However, despite knowing this, he still licked his tongue cruelly when thinking of that love sprung Horseman who had taken his bride and fled in corners they couldn't find. But where? Where would that son of a b**ch be? ~Bam! The man slammed his table so hard it was now divided into 2… and alongside the division, were a few worms that scattered around after fleeing his body. "Return." The worms seemed to obey him, squirming over in fear, especially when sensing his intimidating aura. Who was he? The Vice President of Vardos Country. And at the moment, he was the strongest underworld being left in this world after the portals closed. He had been given an important task by the princes, and was the one all creatures left behind answered to. Who would have thought that the man standing next to the president was not a human, but a mid-tier powerful Underworld demon instead? And on the other end of the phone, was the Rose Lady, the one from the East who enticed young and old men to her beds just to annoy the women and then steal their essence. The Rose Lady was a powerful demon whose pheromones could even drive men to kill each other. However, she didn't like such games. She found that women tasted better than men, especially when they hated her greatly. While on her back full nude, she pouted her full rosy lips deeply. Yes, there was someone giving her a massage. However, her thoughts were on the current matter at hand. … The burly man in his vice-presidential seat, was done conversing about the matter. "We can't stall the situation any further. While looking for that lovelorn horseman, we must prepare for the next Horseman's coming!!"

[Agreed, your excellency.]

With that, they ended their conversation. And now, standing before the vast window, the Vice-president, felt there was still so much left to do before the war began. Luckily, the next Horseman would appear in his Vardos Country, right underneath his nostrils. This way, there would be no room for errors. That being said, another matter caught his eyes too, though he didn't think too much of it. Looking at his cellular device, he unhurriedly dialed another number. [Your excellency…]

It was a man whose voice sounded like that of a serpent, with a lot of hissing between his sentences. "What about it?" Why did so many people come to his Vardos Country for the Military Tournament out of the blue? What was that about? [Your excellency, because I was tasked with a vital military assignment, I could but make it to the tournament. However, I watched the video they sent down.]

Yes… It was nothing more than having a big competition. Again, the Vardos Country also called more people over because of some scientific breakthrough they feel the world should know and share. Well, to be honest, all Military forces across the world have military research facilities. And before today, Vardos was actually working on some military research projects of their own. Even he knew of this. However, he didn't think his Vardos would actually agree to share such intel. Who gave Wiggins, Berry and several others the right to disclose this matter? Did the president sign off on it? Did the Vice-president sign off on it? Did top guys like him within the Vardos Military sign off on it? Well, to be fair, over 78% of the top guys apparently signed off on it during the military tournament.

In the end, with so many people signing off on it, they can't possibly denote or sanction them all. Or else who will be protecting the country in the end? Of course, for an Underworld Gargoyle, he couldn't care less about what happens within these human barracks. However, he understood that they can't sanction everyone. That's why they just let it slide with a warning. Well, it also seems that a majority of those who returned, went out on special missions. In the end, after watching the tournament videos and speaking to several people like Wiggins, they understood that there was nothing major about the Tournament matter. Of course, even if there was something fishy, they would never believe it has to do with humans finally discovering their presence. Heh. Since the dawn of time, the humans of this world have never been able to discover them.

So why would it change now? … Vice President Doyle listened intently, and felt it was nothing of concern. His major priorities now, was preparing for the coming of the second Horseman! Nôv(el)B\\jnn
