"DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT,"

The robed man shouted in anger, a man with brown hair wearing a noble suit nearby also seemed to have a gloomy face. They had prepared a well-thought-out plan, but all failed without knowing what caused it.

"How did they know what we were planning? They shouldn't know about bandit gang base, because we've been careful not to get caught," The brown-haired man said.

"How do I know, problem is not only that, all bases were blown up. Do you think this wasn't someone's plan? I'm sure this information is leaking somewhere." Robed man narrowed his eyes at the brown-haired man.

"Do you think I leaked information?" The brown-haired man knit his brows.

"Heh, we're only doing this deal for mutual benefit, maybe you're doing something behind your back," The robed man sneered.

"This is indeed for mutual benefit, but you need to know, we have helped you so far, do you think we will still try to fight you guys?" The brown-haired man said.

The robed man squinted, he also did think this. If noble Matthew wanted to betray, of course, it would be when they had obtained demon king core, more precisely after that their deal was done. With the help they had provided so far, there was no way they would betray, maybe someone finding out about their plan was very high, which meant that their current enemy was a formidable person who was able to figure out their plan until now.

"Then let's use a backup plan," The robed man said.

When the brown-haired man heard this, his brows furrowed. Of course, he knew this backup plan. But it would be to his detriment, because if it became known to others, not only would his family be deprived of his peerage, it would even be the end of his family.

"You want to use this plan? If something goes wrong, my family will be destroyed."

"This is better than nothing, or do you want to cancel the deal?" The robed man chuckled.

The brown-haired man looked displeased, but he nodded his head. The robed man smiled, he walked away from the place.

"Wait until I get demon king core, you all will bow before me," The brown-haired man smiled sinisterly.

Alice hugged my arms with a big smile on her face, she was already wearing her clothes. We are currently in the house where Alice has lived all this time, she told me a lot of things that happened after we separated. When she was moved by the portal, she was near Sailos City, wanting to see me soon, she went to town.

But as expected, I wasn't here, so she waited here until I returned to the city. But during that time, she didn't know where to go, nor did she have any money. While walking aimlessly in the city, she saw slums, there were many people whose lives were very bad. When she saw this, she remembered her past and ended up forming a gang to help people living in this slum.

First, she attacked a gang that troubled locals to get money. It was also from here that she got money from people who thanked her for kicking the troublesome gang out. Because of gangs, merchants selling merchandise had to give them money so they wouldn't disturb their shops.

And the gang she created stepped forward to become a gang that protects people here but robs rich and corrupt officials until she tells a man named Kevin who came to make a deal with her.

I heard this, laugh in my heart, after she explained her story. Then I explained my story so far. After explaining all my travels and it turned out, I was that Kevin she just talked about, Alice was surprised that she didn't notice my disguise at all.

"Lute, you're getting stronger now, I'm happy." Alice hugged my arms tighter.

"You're also getting stronger Alice, I didn't expect when I saw you again, you became a gang leader," I chuckled.

"But I've disbanded my gang, I gave them money you gave before, with that money, I'm sure their lives will be better," Alice smiled at me.

"Didn't they refuse, when you disbanded your gang?"

"Um, they did refuse at first, but I said I wouldn't stay here either. And I want them to live a better life, rather than being in a gang."

I smiled stroking Alice's head, she looked happy. But suddenly a loud noise came from outside the house. Alice and I looked at each other, we left the house. I saw a lot of people here, it seemed they were members of the Red Rose Gang before because some faces I still recognized.

"What are you doing here?" Alice looked confused.

"Leader, we still want to be members of the Red Rose Gang, can you not disband it," The brown-haired man had a pleading expression.

He was one who tried to rob me before, so I still remember her face clearly.

"Ronny, I explained before, our gang has been disbanded, you don't have to come here anymore," Alice said.

"But leader, we don't need this money, we're all here just to be gang members," Connie said this time.

I see everyone here, indeed only a few of them still want this gang to stay alive. Turning towards Alice, she seemed to be hesitating as to whether to accept them or just throw them away.

"Alice, keep this gang alive, but tell them you won't be their leader, they have to choose a new leader. You'll be taking care of them for a few more months before we enter Mervbanis Academy," I advise her.

Alice saw me and nodded smiling, she was very obedient to me now. Alice spoke to her group, about she wouldn't be a leader anymore, but she would be helping them for a few months until she entered Mervbanis Academy with me.

When they heard this, they felt disappointed. But because they still wanted Red Rose Gang to exist, they ended up accepting it. After some discussion Alice had with them, the group set up a new base near where Alice currently resided. Alice had previously said this was just a house that she rented cheaply because it was in a slum area.
