Monke Plans for Invasion

"Monster Surge… Huh…" Nicholas tapped his chin, his facial features scrunching up in thought. "Well, by my calculations, it should be about a week from now."

"A week?" I cupped my chin, a habit I developed recently with all the thinking I kept on doing ever since this fiasco about their stupid civil war started. Plus, it felt good to rub my hairy chin, which made me calm in the heat of the matter. "I ask you this: how did the past Monster Surges play out?"

Nicholas perked up at my question, a sly grin forming on his face as he realized my intentions.

"Well, well, I didn't think that you, of all things, would have a heart of gold." I chuckled at his response. He's not wrong, but heart of gold may be too far from the truth…

Scratch that, he was way, WAY, off…

"Heh, heart of gold or not, from what you expect of my actions in the future, I can guarantee you, we both benefit from the outcome."
