ARYA MAHESA
Towards Basaka

"Mr Edward. We just came to look around. There is no need to give us such a look. Or is there something you're hiding?"

A week since the talks took place in the Basaka palace, today the Oldenbar Union Center was shocked by the arrival of the palace soldiers, complete with combat clothes.

The army was led by Rantoba. Their very sudden arrival, had made Oldenbar think that there would be an unexpected battle.

The gate was immediately closed and all Oldenbar members were forced to stand guard.

A battle is bound to happen, if Rantoba does not immediately introduce who he is.

"Mr Rantoba. Your sudden arrival and carrying that many soldiers, certainly made us wasapada. I've never seen anyone bring two thousand people with him just to look around." Edward replied, cold.

They were already inside Oldenbar's palace. Because there was nothing he felt covered up, Edward felt a little offended by Rantoba's accusations.

"Of course we came this way. Because Oldenbar suddenly stopped the supply of magic weapons to the kingdom. That is not in accordance with the agreement that has been agreed. I'm a little suspicious, did you guys sell it to our enemies?"

The meeting of the two warriors with a high level of strength was cold. Rantoba did not look afraid of Edward at all while Edward also showed the same attitude.

"Oh, do you have any enemies?"

"Front, it could be. Even though we don't know it yet."

"Mr Rantoba, Oldenbar is a trade union. We are just looking for a little profit. Why are you interfering in our business? Haven't we been helping the kingdom enough all this time?"

"We certainly have no intention of interfering. But you are in our country. And you guys just stopped the supply of weapons for the kingdom. While you continue to bring raw materials and weapons that you have never brought before. Do you think we'll just shut up?"

Edward still did not accept what Rantoba said.

"I told you, we're a trade union. Oldenbar would sell anything to anyone who could afford it. If you have no enemies, then what should you be afraid of? Or, have you recently offended or troubled a particular group?"

"The East Land was very peaceful before. But now we are a little suspicious. You guys are up to something." Rantoba sharpened his gaze. "Are you guys secretly planning to attack the work?"

"Haha! It's funny." Edward could not help his laughter. "If we want to invade the kingdom, what's in it for us?"

"Curtain! It's no secret that Oldenbar has always had his own agenda. So, I want to make sure. If you don't sell us those weapons. So who bought it?"

"Haha!" again Edward laughed. "Sorry, we have a trade deal. And that concerns the confidentiality of the identity of our Buyer. And you need to know. If Oldenbar decides to attack, we will not start from this land. We will directly invade Barus. Do you think we can't do it?"

Edward's words slightly made Rantoba speechless. He thinks Oldenbar might be able to do it. But the massive arms sales in the Eastern mainland are, of course, highly suspicious.

"Mr Edward. You have a much more important trade agreement with the Emperor of this kingdom than your buyer. Do you think if our Emperor knew, he would just shut up?"

Edward shook his head. "The emperor of this kingdom, deals directly with someone who is above me. If that person doesn't think my actions are wrong, then I will continue to do so. It has absolutely nothing to do with you or this Land."

This is the greatness of Edward. The leader of the Oldenbar center in the Eastern mainland, it is actually not easy to be intimidated. Especially now that he was back at the highest level of his strength. It would not be easy for Rantoba to corner him.

Edward and Rantoba talk with a threatening atmosphere in the Oldenbar palace was interrupted by the arrival of several people. This caught Rantoba's attention.

"Have we come at the wrong time? Or very, Exactly?"

Without saying hello, Luna immediately asked everyone who was there. He and three others stood between the royal side and Oldenbar.

"Mr Edward. What about the development of our ordered weapons?"

Not heeding everyone's astonished gazes, Ciel immediately discussed the matter of weapons. As if it did not care what the people who were staring at them thought.

"Thus ... Them ... ?

Although he was a little surprised, Rantoba immediately recognized the four people. Not from having met before, but from the information that Drey had said before.

No less surprised, Edward did not expect the appearance of Arya and the others at a time like this.

It really can't be digested. Arya himself asked Oldenbar to keep his whereabouts a secret. Then, their appearance by directly mentioning about weapons, of course, made him confused.

"Masters ... Why you, come here?"

Not answering. Arya asked back. "Where's Drey?"

Arya shakes. "Sorry Mr. Edward. I didn't ask you."

"Master, what do you mean?"

"I asked the Master who was there." Show Arya with her chin.

At that moment Rantoba looked at him in wonder. However, Arya again raised the same question.

"Where's Drey?"

Rantoba stood up. He felt Arya did not appreciate it. "Young people. What do you mean?!"

"Mr Swordsman, don't put on such a scary face. You're ruining the view. Our master just asked, where is that stupid Drey?"

Perhaps if Rantoba was a warrior who had just entered the martial world, he would instantly finish off all four of them right now.

After all, when he measured their strength, Rantoba was sure that the four of them had a level of shortness far below him.

However, the attitude of the four who seemed to know no fear, and see how Edward who had been clashing with him was very respectful of the four, making Rantoba choose to be careful.

If Drey's words were true, then there was something so powerful behind them that it made them dare to act as if they had no fear at all.

"Drey's in Basaka."

Rantoba chose honestly. However, from the way they asked, it was clear that all four knew that Drey was the one who gave this information to the kingdom.

It instantly made all the eyes of the Oldenbar members widen. Everyone immediately understood that Drey had betrayed them.

"alright. Are we leaving now?" Ask Luna to Rantoba.

"Depart?!"

Of course, that question is very unexpected. Rantoba who some time ago looked very confident, immediately found himself as if he was not knowing what situation he was facing.

"Yes. Doesn't your king want to know who we are? Or, can you represent him to talk directly to us?"

The sudden appearance with a fearless attitude, made the four of them instantly take over the atmosphere.

It also directly makes Rantoba have to think fast and very hard at this time.

"Oh that way, I guess we'll just go. You'd better talk to the King directly, in the city of Basaka."

Luna nodded. "Alright, please go ahead. We're behind you!"

"All right, please follow me. We're going to Basaka."

When Rantoba had just passed the four, Arya immediately said to Edward.

"Mr Edward. Didn't I warn you that I don't like having the slightest problem when I do something?"

Edward was completely speechless as Arya reminded that. Not yet had he thought of the right answer, Arya had already turned around and followed Rantoba who had walked first.

"Mr Edward. We will clean up the mess your men have done in Basaka. You better check your whole group here. Looks like you're too soft as a leader!"

After saying that, Luna turned around to follow the others.

While Edward stood in his place with a reddened face. He had never been humiliated like this before. What made him like that was Drey, his own men.

"Prepare my train. I'm going to Basaka too! Ohhhhhhhhhhh...!"

"Ready!"

Some of the Oldenbar members immediately ran to prepare a carriage for their leader.

"Dreys! ... I swear, I'll kill you myself!" Furious Edward.
