Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Acht stared at the visitor and could barely keep his calm expression on. He expected many and none of them included this particular person.

Acht then muttered his name under his breath.

"Aren\'t you…Nestern?" He said.

The man looked at Acht with his sharp eyes and only scoffed before looking at Lenny with his cocky expression.

​ Lenny also exchanged looks with him and then asked coldly.

"So, what does an honored guest like you need from our humble organization?"

Nestern laughed and then said.

"Hahahah! Spare me the lies, old man. I know everything I need to know about your people."

Lenny also chuckled merely and asked again.

"My question doesn\'t change even with your funny comment. What do you need from us?"

Nestern then adjusted his position slightly and began.

"What I came here for is to make a deal with you." He said.

"A deal?"

"Yeah, a simple deal that will benefit me and also you. It might also save this world in the process."

His words were like a bombshell getting dropped on Nightingale as if it was nothing. Neither his tone nor his expression changed when he said these ground-breaking words that no one should dare to say lightly.

"Why should I believe those words?" Lenny asked as he tapped on his cane rhythmically.

"You better do, old man. I never waste my time doing useless stuff. It\'s in your best interest that you listen to me."

Acht heard those words and he had a suspicion about Nester. Even though the way he is talking seems to be cocky and that of someone who has the higher ground in this deal. However, under that facade, he could see what he was hiding.

\'He is in desperate need of this deal. He is also urgent with it.\' He thought as he eyed him sharply.

Whatever he wanted from Nightingale, it was something he needed very much.

"I am already aware that you people know about the Ecrasia invasion. It\'s very close and it could even happen now for all I care."

The atmosphere grew heavy and everyone\'s face turned grave after hearing his words. The potential invasion was now basically a certainty for everyone. The only thing they should think about now is how to fight back.

However, Nestern saw that in their eyes and immediately grinned widely as he added.

"Don\'t even think about it you lot. I know more about Ecrasia than every single one of you here and let me say one thing. Without my offer, every single one of you is dead along with the whole planet. You are simply far too weak to fight those monsters."

Lenny pondered for a moment before nodding his head in understanding.

"I see. So, what deal did you come here with?"

Nestern took a deep breath before continuing.

"It\'s pretty simple really. I came down to the Lower World for a certain creature that is hidden in this world. This creature is not normal at all. It\'s the root of all problems that your world is going to face. It\'s also the creature that those clones you saw before were derived from. \'The Origin Warrior.\'"

"The origin warrior? I never heard of that name."

"It would\'ve been weirder if you were aware of this creature. Anyway, this isn\'t a matter that you should concern yourself with. The plan is simple, give me the location of the origin warrior and I will guarantee your win in this upcoming war. I will also participate myself in this war."

Lenny was very confused by his words. What origin warrior? Let alone the location of this creature, he never heard of this being at all. However, he had a rough idea about what this creature could be.

But, that doesn\'t solve the problem at all.

"I think you might be having a misunderstanding. I have no idea where this creature you are talking about is." Lenny shook his head as he replied

The man tilted his head and said.

"Huh? Of course, you know."

Lenny felt even more confused.

"I really don\'t know. Nor does anyone else here know about what you are talking about." He denied it again.

Nester could barely keep his calm as he glared at Lenny.

"I really am a busy man, old geezer. So don\'t try to test my patience. If you really don\'t know where the origin warrior is, then how do you explain the soul force traces of the origin warrior on that brat?"

Nester asked while pointing at Acht with his index finger. He wasn\'t even pointing his hand straight when he did that which shows his loathing towards everyone here.

Acht looked at the man with a calm look. He already linked everything that he was talking about and he was already completely aware of who this Origin Warrior was.

However, he didn\'t say anything in return. He still didn\'t deny or approve of Nestern\'s words.

Lenny gazed at Acht and asked calmly.

"Are you aware of what this man is talking about?"

Acht merely crossed his arms and closed his eyes as he replied.

"I have no idea what he is talking about."

Nestern gritted his teeth with anger.

"Stop lying, brat! I don\'t have the patience to deal with liars. You have the origin warrior\'s aura covering every part of your body. The sun being a huge gold coin would be more believable."

Acht shook his head.

"I can\'t see where this is my problem. As I said, I have no relation to whatever you said. I have no reason to prove that to you. Nestern."

"You!" The man\'s face contorted with anger as he eyed Acht with his ferocious eyes.

Even though he was a middle-world inhibitor, he wasn\'t really that outlandishly strong. Or to be more precise, it seems that his aura is restrained to less than half which weakened him a lot.

Acht could see himself holding his foot against this man for a long period of time.
