Cannibal Trio

The next day...

Apr 16 sunday...

George visited the mansion which surprised Ban a little. The three kings also returned to their posts to guard.

At the bar-like room...

"You're back? So soon?" Ban asked in confusion.

George made a wry smile, "Where did you get those guards, brother? They are so powerful."

"We'll. Let's say I met them on the streets and nurtured them." Ban shrugged.

George gave Ban a weird look.

"What?"

George coughed a little and said, "We secured the islands pretty easily. I didn't spent a sweat. It's just that..."

Ban raised his brow. He wondered why George acted strange.

"This is what happened." George cleared his throat. He narrated, "Once we arrived the area, I immediately commanded the three of their task. Of course, to subdue the enemy. The task was done beautifully as the ships of the other countries back away without hesitation. However, when the three guards returned, their mouths were full of blood and a tiny raw meat got even slipped out."

Ban opened his mouth but was speechless. He immediately understood something.

'They ate the intruders?'

Ban then sent the signal to summon the three.

*Swish!* *Swish!* *Swish!*

The three burly kings arrived instantly in front of Ban and greeted him.

"Mas... ter."

"You killed your targets?" Ban asked the three. He was unsure. For all he knows, his command on them should be absolute. He was a little surprised at how George explained the scene.

They shook their head.

George was puzzled. He also didn't asked them at that time since he was afraid that they might also kill his comrades who shows disgusts for the three guards.

"Then explain why you returned with bloody mouths that time." Ban raised his brow.

"We.. took.. each.. arm.. of.. eve.ry.. tar..gets." Edward replied.

"We.. ate.. their.. arms." Eddy added.

"De..li..cious." Edd licked his lips with a hideous grin.

George gulped at the mindset of the trio. They indeed not killed the targets, even instilling fear towards them. However, their actions were too inhumane.

Ban facepalmed when he heard their reasons. He was also at a loss. Those invaders must have sh*t their pants while fleeing.

"This is my new order. Never ever taste any part of a human. Beasts and animals are fine." Ban waved his hand to dismissed the trio.

*Swish!* *Swish!* *Swish!*

The three kings nodded and immediately vanished.

"What just happened?" George asked Ban with a pale face. He never expected Ban to raise cannibal people.

"Sigh* It goes like this." Ban explained how he met the ant kings and tamed them. Their mother, ant queen was also tamed by him and they were part of his guards now. He also explained how they turned humans using a trick from him.

"They are Demon Beasts?" George almost fell from his seat as he was trying hard to calm himself down. He accompanied them on his journey to the west while having no idea what they are. It gives him shivers down to his spine.

"Tamed." Ban added just make things clear.

"No wonder why they loved to eat human meat." George dazed for a second before he emptied a glass of wine. Still thirsty, he gobbled the bottle of wine.

Ban chuckled at his action. He asked, "What if those invaders come back again? Will it be alright to left the island unprotected?"

George finished the bottle and replied, "No worries. I've already secured the area and placed a barracks in there. Plus, Tom was still there to sort things out on the island. He should be staying there for a while."

Ban nodded and squinted his eyes at him, "How's the trainee soldiers?"

"They're doing fine. Even their progress were exceptional. Ms. Clara go there sometimes to give them pointers."

Ban nodded and said, "Is it okay if I get 10 new soldiers you have? I want them to guard a place for me."

"Easy, brother. I let grandpa know about it." George nodded with a smile.

"I want to own them if possible. Take it as my private army." Ban added which made George surprised.

"Uh sure. However, it depends on the soldiers if you convince them to follow you."

Ban clapped his hand, "Great! Let's go there now. I also want to visit your sister."

George shook his head and laughed, "She trained so hard these days. I bet she will be delighted when you visit her later."

Ban raised his brow. It is rare for him to hear Eliza trained so hard.

"You'll be surprised when you know she has a training partner later." George smiled mysteriously.

"Oh?" Ban got interested. He said, "Let's go then."

...

Arriving at the military camp, Ban and George entered Vernard's office.

Vernard's look now became younger. He looked like a teenager now.

"Hey kid. Great to see you here!" Vernard stood up and gave Ban a pat on his shoulder.

Ban also smiled and greeted Vernard.

"You got a news for me, kid?" Vernard asked.

Ban smiled and nodded. He replied, "All is well. Just give me a call if some people invades our land. I've prepared a surprise gift for them."

"Hoho. That's good! Really good! I've been pondering on how to solve those unending invaders to our land. Fortunately, you already solved one yourself." Vernard said in a grateful tone.

Ban laughed and waved his hand as the matter wasn't worth mentioning.

"Grandpa, brother-in-law wants your new soldiers." George said.

Vernard raised his brow in confusion, "New soldier? What for, kid?"

"I bought a plot of land between the border of Angeles and Fern City. The building have already been built. Right now, I want trusted people to guard the area." Ban explained briefly. He continued, "However, I need permanent guards. That is why I need your approval, grandpa."

"Hmm." Vernard pondered for a while. He said, "It is easy to agree to your request. However, the problem lies with the soldiers since you wanted a lifetime service."

George expressed his agreement. He also mentioned this matter to Ban.

Ban nodded and replied, "Let's see if I can recruit them. After all, I only needed ten soldiers."

"Alright. Let's go then." Vernard prepaired his army coat.

"Wait, grandpa." Ban interrupted and continued, "I'll fetch Eliza first before going there."

"Oh? Go ahead, kid." Vernard laughed heartily. He continued, "The more, the better."

Ban smiled and excused himself.

George didn't followed him as he stayed in the office.

Ban the searched for Eliza through his detection. Then, he was surprised whom she was with.

"Sienna? What's she doing here?"
