Rinji was kneeling in front of a large leather chair. The wonderful rays of the sun could already be seen outside, but if you took a look at the two young men in the room, the sun would become boring.
Raiden and Rinji look like models taken from the manga, you would have that feeling that whatever they do will become an unforgettable sight.
But the kneeling boy had other thoughts to think about now…
-My lord. This was the first operation of team 12, which was successfully completed. Isamu finished posting the video, and the case was settled. What is my Lord's opinion?
- Hm.
Rinji was thrilled to see that Raiden had no trouble. Because it was only a short time before those young people came here, he did not have a clear picture of them and now he thinks that at least they had professionalism at work. She wouldn't be forgiven if she upset Raiden.
- Still my Lord, Isamu is following the spy from Lira, and along the way he caught a new case. It seems that the hospital of district 2 is very involved in human trafficking.
Rinji had to stop because the pressure in the room was increasing, and he was finding it harder and harder to breathe. He now has his whole body trembling before the King.
-Give this servant a chance to speak, my Lord.
Raiden looked at Rinji with an expressionless face, and after a few moments the pressure dropped. Rinji was able to breathe again, but could not relax.
- Isamu discovered this settlement by chance, my Lord, but from the descriptions it does not seem to be common. They seem to want to sell slaves, and the business is almost 100 years old…
He grinned and had to stop. Raiden's presumption was far too great. He could faint at any moment. This is always the case when I find something like this.
His lord is very fair, ruthless and cold. He knew why he was so angry. The Ryuu group has been in action for several months, and at first Raiden called for the biggest crimes to be solved, and people to be able to live in peace, and now after so many months the group finds a terrible human trafficking business that should have solved among the first.
-My lord is to blame....to this servant… but please…. to calm down…
Raiden now had an angry face.
Everyone in the Ryuu group was terrified.
The king was angry! Everyone knew her in her blood…
Raiden slowly rose from his leather chair and, looking down at Rinji, who almost fainted, raised his hand.
From this came wires of electricity making a circle around the two…
For a moment they were in the basement of a huge mansion.
This mansion was inherited by Raiden's parents, and now Ryuu's headquarters are in the basement of the mansion.
Everyone stopped when two people appeared in the middle of the room.
They all knelt down and bowed their heads before their King.
Raiden looked across the room. His pressure was rising higher and higher. There was no one in the basement who did not tremble. And then to their horror the Lord spoke:
-Your king is disappointed.
Every person with the mark on him felt a pain in his heart. One he would have hoped not to feel again. The feeling of the King being disappointed… feels like bullets in the heart.
Rinji, who was closest, made a complete, sorrowful bow from the Lord's feeling of disappointment.
-I deserve punishment, my lord!
The minutes passed in silence, but there was no movement.
Raiden looked at Rinji, contemplating what to do
A few lines of electricity appeared behind Raiden, and a young man appeared out of nowhere.
Sasuke had a look of panic and a few beads of sweat could be seen on his face.
He knelt behind Raiden just as he did.
- My king . I understand why you are disappointed. This is a huge mistake but probably not the last. I have the feeling that the city is more immersed in sin than I initially foresaw.
The pressure was rising again, and now everyone was struggling to keep up
-But my Lord!
Now Sasuke raised his voice a little because it was quite difficult for him to speak…
- Isamu discovered a list of people involved. With the victims and the perpetrators… We will be able to punish all those involved and help all the affected families… So please my Lord give these subordinates another chance!
Silence descended over the basement.
The pressure gradually receded
Raiden turned to his personal elevator, which took him out of the basement. and his elegant gait provoked admiration.
Behind him, everyone blew with relief and thanked Sasuke for his intervention.
Before the elevator doors closed, Raiden said:
-I have high expectations.
That's what he left with.
The room was very motivated now. He didn't want to miss this chance to impress the King. Getting up from their knees, they went to investigate, train and everything else
The only ones who didn't move were Rinji and Sasuke.
Do you need help ? Sasuke asked.
- I can ask that same question. Said Rinji.
-Look at all these kids. They seem to have no idea how heavy the pressure on the one talking to the King is…
- You're right, but I deserved it…
- Know. I can't believe I disappointed the King like that…
- We have to work harder now…
After their little discussion they hardly got up. Using the brand, they each went to their place of work. They did not want to waste a moment of their time investigating.
On Raiden's side, the elevator opened into a spacious living room full of beautiful paintings.
Walking lazily to the armchair in front of a fireplace with a window behind him, he picked up a book on the coffee table and began to relax.
The information received infuriated him, but he was half guilty.
The view Kiriama witnessed is of a young man with a book in his hand and a thoughtful look. He looked so captivating that he almost forgot he was here to serve his young master.
- Young master, you received an invitation to the birthday of the old master of the Akeno family and it seems that your cousin will come to Jasco in a few months.
There was no response from Raiden. But the butler was already accustomed.
- The list of things we could choose for the party it's with me . Want to take a look?
Raiden held out his hand, and Kiriama immediately put the file full of expensive items in the young man's hand.
Raiden had a lazy look as he stared at the list.
Kiriama knew now was the time to give some more news to his young master.
- Young master, the dawn auction will take place in two weeks. The catalog with the ones that will be auctioned has been sent to me in case you have the desire to participate. As for Master Akeno's party, which will take place in a few days, I have been notified that your new bodyguard has arrived in the city.
Again no answer. Kiriama wanted to cry. He stayed with his master long enough to know much.
Sometimes Kiriama thinks she has no job as a butler in the mansion, because her master already knows everything there is to know. He is very proud but feels that he has no need, and now those moments are a smooth one.
'Of course he knows all this. He probably already has everything ready. It was to be expected of someone like my young master who has powers and his own group fighting evil, but what can I do for him now? From the 4 years with him, I don't think I ever thanked him… '
Raiden was now looking at his wet-eyed butler for unknown reasons and wanted to laugh.
He left the list downstairs and, looking at the fire in the fireplace, decided that it was time to ask the butler something he had been thinking of for some time
- Kiriama.
The thought-stricken butler woke up instantly.
-Yes, young master!
Raiden now playing with a black ring between his fingers looks up at the butler…
- Do you think I'm doing well?
Kiriama froze
He had confusion all over his face…
- Young master. If you mean the punishments and the criminal organizations that you stop, I personally think that you precede well.
Raiden studied the butler to see if he had other thoughts in mind, but he had only admiration and pride in his master, so Raiden had nothing to check.
Leaning back in his chair, he closed his eyes.
- Kiriama.
-Yes, young master!
-You will come with me to the apartment from now on to serve me.
-As you wish, master!
After a few moments of silence, Raiden decided on the last pieces of the plan and now he wanted to do something.
- Kiriama, come in front of me.
Kiriama walked in front of the armchair and knelt carefully in front of her young master.
-How can I help my master?
Raiden reached out and with a small dagger from his coat made a small cut.
- Reach out your hand.
Kiriama held out his hand in confusion.
A drop of Raiden's blood touched the butler's palm, and he felt a current run through his body. Dizziness gripped him, and his strength began to increase. It felt different.
But now he knew what had happened. Raiden put a mark on him. He was now part of his Ryuu group.
He wanted to look up to thank, but the sight shocked him.
Raiden sat noblely in his chair, but his legs crossed with his lazy posture gave the impression that he was taller than any creature on earth.
He had a hand resting on the arms of the armchair, which supported his chin slightly up. The other hand was now playing with a dagger, making various movements with it. But what was most captivating were the eyes.
His eyes shone bright purple with a very accentuated shape. That look was as if he could see through his soul.
'Are these dragon eyes? Are beautiful …'
The butler also felt the extraordinary pressure emanating from the young man, and now he knew why he was called 'King'
-I, Raiden Anakin, the King of Lights and master of lightning, call you my loyal butler Kiriama Hayato. I have high expectations.
The butler's heart was ready to leap. The feeling I received was indescribable. Then he immediately swore that from now on he would become a reliable and perfect butler.
-As you wish, master!
