RISE OF EROS

The news of the eradication of the Red Scorpions organization caused panic, not only among the masses, but also among the people at the top of the country.

This organization was not as simple as it seemed. They started out as a gang of thugs like most organizations of questionable movements, but their leader was a rather shrewd man and had the ability to manage people.

This was not his only talent, but he was also a genius in combat and that is why at the young age of 20, he not only led the organization, but his strength and cunning had made him make his way through all the criminal organizations in the country.

In a short time, its strength and influence increased, to the point of becoming one of the largest dark organizations in the country. Its operations were not only focused on the masses but extended to the wealthy and powerful.

His boss was a smart man and knew that no matter how powerful he was and how much money he could make, within Rios, he needed to have the support of the people who govern.

It was for this reason that he allied himself with several families with special powers in the government, that is, people who had been given the authorization by the water elves to run certain areas of the country.

The water elves, although powerful, are few in number, so they have to delegate the administration of the country to the humans and they control who is granted benefits, unfortunately, the country had advanced a lot and the elves could not keep up.

On paper, the situation of the country of Rios still maintains this system, but in reality, the water elves cannot control everything as they once did, so corrupt people appear.

The boss of the red scorpions took advantage of this situation and made alliances with these corrupt people, in order to prosper. Although they consider themselves allies, the reality was that the corrupt needed someone to do their dirty work and the red scorpions were those people.

Obviously, this could not be considered an alliance, at most it was a transaction, but the head of the red scorpions was cunning and kept evidence of all the work he did for these powerful people, so now they were in the same boat.

Certainly, it was simple blackmail and not an alliance, the reality was that they were sponsoring the red scorpions and made them grow so much that they became the rulers of the underworld of Rios.

With this status and backing thanks to blackmail, the red scorpions really feared very few people in the country. If there was only one fault for this group and its boss, it was that they did not know the water elves.

There is no one in Rios who does not know the existence of the water elves. Everyone is clear that they are the real rulers of the country, although they always delegate these functions to someone else.

The problem is that this occultism and secrecy about the water elves has made the inhabitants of Rios no longer believe that the water elves are as powerful as they were originally thought.

The chief of the red scorpions, having never met any, thought that they were weak and had been dethroned, so when the chief of one of the families with which they were allied proposed a deal to capture a group of water elves, for a considerable sum of money and riches, he accepted the job.

Although shrewd, this man was not a fortune teller. It was not the first time that this "Ally" had asked him to kidnap people, so the chief of the red scorpions only thought that his "Ally" only wanted a new toy and the water elves were luxury toys.

Unfortunately, this was not the case. This supposed ally had been deceiving the chief of the red scorpions for years. Who would trust a person who blackmails you?

The ally always asked him for these kidnapping jobs, to make him believe that it was some kind of hobby. After years of that, the red scorpion chief believed it and never suspected that his ally was setting a trap for him.

Although this ally was corrupt, he knew the true strength of the elves and was sure that they would destroy the red scorpions when they tried to capture the water elves and that was what happened.

The water elves that Andrew and the others helped, were really not ordinary elves. Although they are young, they are officials of the water elf king and had been sent to the house of the corrupt ally of the red scorpion chief.

They were only going to receive a report and payments for some transactions, so it was not something very important. Therefore, the corrupt informed the red scorpions where the water elves would be and this was how the situation that Andrew and the others intervened in developed.

The head of the red scorpions underestimated the elves too much and his ally did the same. The latter believed that he would only get rid of a pesky blackmailer, but the shot backfired.

The water elves not only eliminated the red scorpions, but everyone involved with them. Obviously, they did not kill everyone, as that would only destroy the country's government, since that was how tangled things were with this criminal organization, but clear messages were sent.

The leaders of these corrupt families and those most involved with this organization were eliminated as an example and the most surprising thing was that the water elves only needed one night to do it.

When this news appeared the next day, all the masses were scared, as they did not know the details, but the rich and powerful knew what had happened and understood their place.

All the ruling humans of the country are corrupt, they all had the idea that they no longer needed the water elves, so they had their ambitions, but with this event they understood that they were being sent a message.

The water elves were showing them that they were still powerful and that they should behave or they would be next. During this whole event, Andrew and his companions were resting peacefully in their room. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Entwined arms and legs with his two wives, Andrew woke up the next day revitalized. Unfortunately, his wives could not say the same, as Andrew punished them the night before very brutally.

They fought in bed until the early hours of the morning, so the girls could not get up, they were still tired. Fortunately, their ship to the Duchy of Cannes would not leave for a couple of days, so there was no need to get up early.

For this reason, Andrew got out of bed carefully so as not to wake his wives and after a bath, he left the room. In the living room of the apartment they rented to spend the time they would be there, he found Oliver drinking tea.

Since they were not leaving soon, Oliver did not order breakfast and woke Andrew and his wives, he just waited for them and when they woke up they would eat. However, seeing Andrew wake up so early surprised him.

"Is something wrong young master?" Oliver asked, a little curious that Andrew got up early, but Andrew answered with a smile, as he sat in front of him, "Nothing, I just woke up early."

Oliver did not give much importance to this and served Andrew some tea, while saying, "Young master, this morning I heard rumors throughout the city that the red scorpions had been eliminated."

Oliver's sudden intervention interested Andrew and he could not help but ask, "Red scorpions"? Now it was Oliver's turn to look at him with a strange expression and as if guessing what was happening he spoke again, "Young master, the men who attacked the water elves were from that organization."

When Oliver told him this, Andrew's eyes widened, not remembering that detail and he quickly asked, "Was it the water elves?", to which Oliver replied, "I don't know. Nobody knows, it is only known that they were eliminated last night and that many of their accomplices who were men from the government were also eliminated."

"Are they that powerful? Or was this organization not a big deal?" Andrew asked as if speaking to himself, but Oliver still answered, "According to what people say, these red scorpions were the rulers of the underworld."

This did cause a bit of panic in Andrew, because although these clandestine organizations may not be very powerful, there are always many problems to eradicate them and even so the clandestine organization that should be the most difficult to deal with in Rios had been dealt with in one night, that was not a normal force.

Oliver was even more aware of the seriousness of the matter, so he was not surprised by Andrew's surprise, as the surprise was understandable. Oliver even believed that neither Dunnas nor Cannaris had that ability, being larger and more powerful than Rios.

Although surprised and a little terrified by the strength of the water elves, Andrew and Oliver did not worry, since they had no enmity with the water elves, in fact, they had saved some, so at least they would not have to enter into conflict.

What they did not know was that at that moment a water elf was watching and listening to them from the sky. This water elf did not show any emotion on his face and although he was suspended in the air, he was invisible to the eye and even with Oliver's strength, he could not be noticed.
