Chapter 467 - The Warriors
Alice actually only summoned 10 people to come to Luxembourg, but right now at the Clarke family mansion, there were 15 flat-faced men with sharp eyes sitting straight and silent. The 15 foreign men didn't say much when Noah inquired. One of them only said that he was requested to come to Luxembourg by Erick Maguire. Knowing that the people knew the Madam's guest, Noah dared not say anything more than serving snacks and drinks.
The men in black suit sat quietly. The journey from Switzerland to Luxembourg did not make them feel tired at all. When the day was getting late, Nicholas finally woke up. He was surprised to see the watch on his left hand was already showing 11 o'clock in the afternoon. Without saying much, Nicholas rushed to his room to clean himself without waking the master. Meanwhile, Erick, who had been awake since 10 minutes before, was already in the bathroom because he had been woken up by Alice, who was the first to wake up among the five of them, while Anne and Alan were still wandering in their dreams on two different beds.
"Alice, you startled me!" protested Erick almost screaming when Alice suddenly stood in front of the bathroom.
Alice smiled broadly through her white teeth without guilt. "They've arrived here."
"Who?"
"The warriors."
"That quick?" Erick asked in disbelief.
"Yes, and there not just 10 people who have come, but all of them. By now, they are even in the living room with full weapons." Alice answered Erick's words softly, explaining about Jack's men who had arrived in Luxembourg.
Erick smiled. He was happy to hear Alice's words. The warriors, as the assassins who has been Jack's best subordinate for years, is now in Luxembourg. Without a word, Erick made sure his appearance was perfect before he left the room. He had to immediately meet 15 people who had not done heavy work for almost 2 years after Jack was declared dead. Erick had to tell what really happened to their master to the 15 people, so that when they met Jack, they wouldn't be surprised, especially now that the master didn't know all of them. That was why Erick must immediately meet and inform them of the purpose of them being summoned to Luxembourg.
"Stay here. Accompany Madam until she wakes up. Master also seems to be still sleeping outside," Erick said quietly, half whispering.
Alice raised her hand and formed an 'ok' symbol in response to her boyfriend's command. She actually preferred to spend a lot of time with Anne because there were so many things that Alice still hadn't asked Anne. Therefore, when Erick asked her to stay in the room with Anne, who was still sleeping, Alice was very excited.
When Erick came out of the room, Alice could see the master was still sleeping in front of the door. Erick immediately put one finger in front of his mouth, gesturing to Alice not to make a sound. Alice, who understood Erick's gesture, immediately nodded her head. She closed the door carefully when she saw Erick was walking away while tiptoeing so as not to make a sound.
"Morning, sir. There are currently 15 expressionless people waiting for you in the living room," Noah said quickly instead of saying good afternoon to Erick who had just come down the stairs.
Eric pursed his lips. "They're my people, don't worry. The big master also knows about them, you can calm down."
Noah immediately petrified. He was surprised when he heard Erick mention big master to Mr. David Clarke. His brain immediately recalled Nicholas' previous words.
"Oh Nick, it turns out that your guess is right. This person will really take your position as assistant to the young master," Noah said quickly while closing his mouth. His eyes were widened because it turned out that what Nicholas said to be bullshit had now happened.
The servants who saw Noah's strange behavior were silent, did not dare to comment and chose to continue with their work.
When Erick came to the living room, the warriors immediately got up from the chairs to greet him, but Erick immediately gave the code to the big man to sit back down. Without further ado, Erick told everything he knew about Jack and Alan. The 15 men looked very surprised when they heard Erick's words that the master had twins. Because during the trip they thought their master was just pretending, acting as the grandson of a wealthy nobleman in Luxembourg because he wanted to hide his identity from lurking enemies.
"So he's really our Master?"
"He is our Mr. Jackson Patrick Muller?"
"Twin brother, what does replacing the position mean? I still don't understand!"
"This matter is too complicated for my small brain."
"Yeah, I don't understand either."
"Right Erick, just tell me who are the people we should kill?"
Erick scratched his head that didn't itch. Talking to men who were used to holding guns made him almost lose his temper because his words that explained what had happened for almost 30 minutes were not understood at all by the people in front of him.
"The point is that at this moment, Master doesn't know who he really is, all he knows right now is his name is Alan Knight Clarke. So don't ever mention Jack's name to him because it will make him angry. Later on, when you meet him you will understand what I said earlier," said Erick, slowly clarifying his previous words.
"I got it."
"Good, now you guys better..."
"Wow, there are guests!"
Alan's voice sounded loud, making Erick stop his words. The warriors, who had been focusing on Erick, immediately turned his gaze to find the source of the sound and was surprised to see the master walking towards them with a disheveled appearance because he had just woken up after Anne accidentally kicked his leg while going out of Alice's room.
"Good afternoon, sir," Erick immediately greeted politely to Alan who was already standing in front of him with Nicholas following beside him.
Alan ignored Erick's greeting, he was more interested in the 15 well-built men in front of him. "Who are they?"
"We used to be called the warriors, who serve our masters faithfully," answered one of the warrior members quickly. His voice was trembling slightly as he was in disbelief that the master didn't recognize them, even though at the beginning of the formation of the warriors, Jack was the person who played an important role in the selection process for all of them.
"You guys are Erick Maguire's people? Wow, you're great, Erick, to have people like this." Alan praised Erick sincerely. He forgot that the leader of these big men was him.
All members of the warriors were shocked. They couldn't believe the words that came out of the lips of the master who had recruited them years ago.
"The great thing is, it was my master who recruited them, Mr. Clarke," Erick answered honestly.
Alan chuckled at Erick's words. He then turned his gaze back to the 15 men who were standing tall in front of him. "Okay, you guys continue the conversation. I'll take a shower first. It feels like I'm the only person who hasn't showered here."
"You may take a shower or not, it doesn't matter, sir," said Erick quickly.
Alan's laughter got louder when he heard Erick's words. Actually, he didn't mind if he didn't take a shower. However, because at the moment he had other goals, finally Alan left his guests with Nicholas, who was standing straight looking at Erick and his people. Alan quickened his pace towards his bedroom. He had a feeling that Anne was still in the bathroom and he wanted to join her immediately.
