162 Chapter 162
Lenny\'s words made everyone\'s face even grimmer. They knew exactly what he meant by those words and what kind of thing he intended to do.
As much as they agree with that idea, doing it is a whole other matter. Destroying the whole hunter association which is the strongest company in the world is basically akin to facing the whole world.
Acht looked at the old man after hearing these words with a complicated gaze. He knew that this old man deliberately said those words when he was present.
The reason for that is most likely because he wanted to integrate Acht into Nightingale as much as he could. He wanted Acht to become totally linked to Nightingale which would help him keep the boy in the organization without risking him escaping before their deal was over.
Acht was aware of that but even then, he could not do anything. It was already over when he accepted the deal.
\'Fuck.\' He cursed under his breath at this problem of his.
Now, he had to make a completely new identity for himself if he wanted to blend into society just like before. He also needed to change his appearance.
"Is it really the time, boss?" Lein asked with a serious look.
Lenny nodded his head as he responded.
"The preparations are almost done. In a few years…No, in a couple of years. We will finally start our real goal." He said as he stood up to leave.
However, before he could even say something else, they all heard the shout of Weltz coming from behind the door.
They all looked at it as it got basically kicked open and Weltz came in heaving up and down like a tired dog.
"Kin…That bitch, she didn\'t let me even walk out of my room." He muttered as he looked behind him with a frown.
There, stood Kin with her huge hammer in her hand as she came running toward him. She then jumped in the air and smashed down with her hammer.
"Wait!! I surrender! Stop it!" He shouted as he jumped to the side, barely evading the hammer by a hair\'s breadth.
But, Kin didn\'t stop as the moment she landed she dashed towards him again with her hammer in her hand. She had no intention of letting him off.
"Fuck! I have no choice then!" Weltz cursed as he pulled out what seemed like a spear.
It was obviously a high-grade soul artifact that could probably be considered as a weapon of mass destruction.
Then with a loud shout, he slashed down with the spear. Instantly, the two weapons clashed violently and a huge wave of energy took the place in chaos.
Everyone looked at this interaction with no particular shock. They had seen Weltz and kin fight hundreds and even thousands of times so this was no new stuff.
However, they can\'t just let them fight recklessly like that.
That\'s why Lenny intervened with his strong presence.
"Stop it, both of you." He said.
Immediately, Kin retreated after knocking Wletz\'s spear away.
He clicked his tongue and restored the weapon before looking straight at Lenny.
"I had thought about this matter and I have one request. Can you let me fight that small bastard, boss?"
"Fight?"
"Yes, I want to see if he really is worth all of this trouble we are getting ourselves into."
"But I chose him. Are you questioning my decisions?" Lenny asked again with a slightly colder tone.
"No way, boss. But I can only accept him if he reaches my standard. Other than that I will never accept him and I will do everything to get rid of him." Weltz responded with a determined look.
Lenny rubbed his beard as he thought about it before turning to Acht and asking.
"Are you ok with that?"
Acht didn\'t even bother to wait as he said.
"No, it\'s a hassle. If he wants to accept me or not. It\'s his fucking problem, not mine."
Then, he stood up and walked away, passing beside Weltz who glared at him.
"I knew you were a pussy from the moment I first saw you."
"Cheap provocations aren\'t really the best thing that could make me fight you."
Weltz felt his head turning red with rage as he almost tried to poke holes into Acht\'s back with his eyes. He was now in such a state of anger that his reasoning got blinded and he shouted.
"Fine. If you fight me and hold on for 40 seconds then I will give you 30 S-Rank soul stones."
After he ended his sentence, he could hear his voice echo around the place while silence took over the rest of the people there.
"Weltz…did you go nuts?" Jack asked with a sigh as he pinched the upper part of his nose.
"Sigh, what a fucking idiot," Lein muttered.
As for Torn, he just chuckled slightly before returning to his calm and stoic expression.
Acht halted his steps and looked at the man with a small smile.
"Now we are talking." He said to him,
Weltz also smiled slightly and nodded his head ignoring all the words his teammates told him from the background.
His desire to turn Acht into a meat paste was way stronger than his logical thinking.
"Good! I will fucking crush every bone of your body before that 40 seconds end." He shouted before looking at Lenny.
"See, boss? We agreed on a fight. Fair and square, me and him, 40 seconds should be more than enough."
Lenny glared at Weltz for a moment before sighing.
"Do whatever you want."
"Hahaha, thank you, boss. Now, let\'s go to the training capsules immediately. I can\'t wait any longer." He said as he walked ahead first.
As for Acht he just casually walked after him with his hands in his pockets.
He didn\'t seem nervous at all that he was fighting one of Nightingale\'s members at all. It was almost too weird and too suspicious.
