Chapter 55 Raging Hard

• Ace POV
• "Although land of mercy with its current strength, could take on two or three of the 14 head leaders base without being at a disadvantage but there is no way possible that it can take on the 14 of them. So, we must tread carefully because the lives of our brothers in the land of mercy are at risk. I will also do something to distract the other doing the night, I will help or plan" I said and they nodded, some rubbing their hand in anticipation with smirks plastered on their lips. 'What is this sin weird vibe in the room? These guys!' I thought inwardly whilst looking at them, and what I saw in their eyes was really shocking. Is like they can't wait to go and establish our name in their minds and body.
• "And before you all go, remember. Once we take control over Rome and Milan, Italy is ours!" My voice sounded and they all cheered. I smiled at Theon and turned back at them "You may all leave" I said and in a moment, the room was empty, leaving only Theon, me, and Mark. I have been noticing the look of deep-felt admiration from Mark since the meeting began. "What is the issue, Mark?" I asked him. He hesitated for a while before gathering his confidence "I don't want to be a leader of the base, Boss" he said. "Then what do you want?" I asked, "I want to follow you, be of assistance to you with the best of my ability, I want to be of use to you and not just lead bases," he said and I chuckled. "Are you aware that some of the people under me wished that they could be given bases to manage without having to work so stressful even though they know that working with me gives them more power, but here you are asking to do the stressful one instead of having your peace in the base assigned for you?" I asked and he shooked his head "I really don't need more power, I just want to work with you, I have had this intention ever since we first met seven years ago when you were still building your power from scratch" Mark said with pleading eyes and I can see that Theon isn't liking this. He felt like Mark was trying to interfere in his position, even though he knew I trusted him, he also knew that I had known Mark for seven years now.
