Although Gordon kindly walked over to greet him, the man from headquarters didn't seem to notice him.
"Why does it feel like someone is talking? But there's clearly no one around!" The man from headquarters walked cautiously through the hall, thinking to himself that if no one was there, he'd just head back!
It wasn't that he was too cowardly to stay, but that there was simply no one here!
"He doesn't seem to hear me? It's okay, I'll just pat his shoulder to say hello!" As Gordon thought this and reached out his hand, he saw the man from headquarters turn around to leave.
"The moonlight is beautiful tonight. Would you like to be my friend?" Gordon said poetically.
"Ho—Holy shit!" The man from headquarters fell onto his backside, nearly wetting himself in fear. Especially looking at Gordon's pale face that looked like it was covered in lime powder and those dark circles around his eyes—this was way too terrifying!
"You seem to be from headquarters. Is there something you need this late at night?" Gordon walked toward the man, kindly extending a friendly hand.
"What is he muttering? Is it a curse? It must be! If I hadn't turned my head just now, he definitely would have killed me!" Seeing Gordon approaching step by step, the man from headquarters was so scared he scrambled back seven or eight meters in one go, only stopping when he bumped into a massive stone pillar.
*Phew—* Grey exhaled. She looked at the person at her feet, her large head wondering about who knows what, but she scared the man from headquarters half to death!
"This stone pillar is actually a person! Is he thinking about how to eat me?" While the man from headquarters was hallucinating in terror, Yami and Finral also walked out.
"Strange things are really happening one after another today. Who's this guy that barged in?" Finral yawned, having already been disturbed by Gauche earlier.
"The Captain of the Black Bulls!" Seeing Yami, the man from headquarters felt as if he had seen a savior. He scrambled over to Yami's side on all fours. "Captain, over at Nean—"
"You bastard! I already settled the gambling debts over at Nean! Who sent you to collect? Are you looking for death coming here in the middle of the night!" Yami furiously grabbed the man from headquarters and hoisted him up.
"No, no, no! I'm not here for gambling debts!" the man from headquarters hurriedly explained.
"Then it's the bar tab?" Yami glared at him.
"No, no! I'm from headquarters! Something happened in Nean Town!" The man from headquarters was so aggrieved he was about to cry. What kind of bandit squad was this!
"What? What happened in Nean Town? And Finral, what was that kid Gauche doing just now?" Yami looked at Finral. By now, the hall lights had been turned on, and the haunted house atmosphere from before had vanished. The man from headquarters finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of warmth.
"Report, Captain! It seems something has happened to Gauche's sister!" Finral reported in a hurry.
"Gauche's sister is also in Nean Town. So, something really did happen in Nean Town!" Yami lit a cigarette and frowned. What should he do? He didn't want to go!
He might as well wake up Luck and Magna; they loved to fight anyway!
"Captain, that kid Asta is also in Nean Town!" Finral added.
"Hmm? This is getting interesting. Kid, who contacted the headquarters?" Yami asked.
"A girl, it's Noelle Silva from your squad, and Asta and Vanessa from your squad are with her!" the person from headquarters replied quickly.
"Why are they there too?" Yami wondered. This small Nean Town had now gathered three members of the Black Bulls.
"Noelle and Vanessa are there too? That's right, Vanessa asked me about the location for the mixer today. Could it be that they were looking for me?" Finral thought, his heart racing.
"What happened in Nean that the Magic Knights Headquarters sent you to request support?" Yami frowned, sensing that things weren't that simple, since it had actually forced Asta to send a distress signal.
"The children in Nean have all gone missing for unknown reasons, and it has started to snow!" the person from headquarters stated.
"Interesting!" Yami stroked his chin. Just then, the sound of a door being kicked open echoed.
"What the hell, who woke me up?" Magna cursed as he walked out of his room, rubbing his fists, looking ready for a fight. However, after seeing Yami leaning on the sofa, he immediately became as docile as a lamb.
"Good day, Captain!" Magna bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle.
"What's going on?" Luck flew out, yawning. It could be said that everyone left at the Black Bulls Headquarters had gathered in the hall.
"Have all these monsters come out?!" The person from headquarters immediately felt the pressure mount, wanting nothing more than to flee the place as soon as possible!
"Someone from headquarters came to report that a situation occurred in Nean Town!" Gordon quickly explained, but no one heard him, so Magna and Luck were still confused!
"Shhh—" All of Grey's words were condensed into that long sigh.
"These two deities..." Yami couldn't help but cover his head. Although he was the Captain of the Black Bulls, he couldn't fathom the thought processes of these two immortals.
"Captain, please make a decision. The matter seems quite urgent, and headquarters is very concerned about it. They have already sent people to notify other squads!" the person from headquarters said.
"Are they looking down on us Black Bulls? Boys!" After making up his mind, Yami stood up abruptly.
"Yes, Captain!" Gordon and the others stood up and stood at attention.
"Tonight, everyone moves out!" Yami spat his cigarette butt onto the ground fiercely. Since everyone was awake, they might as well go and see what was happening!
"Hooray! Captain, we have a combat mission!" Luck was the first to jump up.
"Good! My guy! Everyone is moving out!" Magna's eyes widened in excitement. He had already envisioned the scene of everyone appearing wearing black sunglasses; it would be cool to the point of exploding!
"That's great. The Captain finally remembered me. I'm so moved!" Gordon cried tears of happiness.
"Shhh—" Grey didn't have any objections to this, just let out her usual sigh.
"Finral, start the operation!" Yami said.
"Yes, Captain!" Finral immediately opened the magic portal to Nean Town, and the members of the Black Bulls filed in. This time, Gordon was finally not left behind!
