Chapter 18 - Meeting the party

Lenny's arrival at the Telvian Sanctuary was prior to the sun setting in the Fallen Realm.

It was a noisy scene to behold.

With dozens of Fallen Regulators walking down the streets, Telvian Sanctuary was the size of a large town.

But the Buijun Guild had built it up to be an estate. It had a few noteworthy buildings scattered around.

He wasn't surprised since the Guilds of the Regulator's Association were swimming in wealth.

A lesser Guild was worth hundreds of millions of dollars while the top Guilds were worth billions.

Even the weakest Rank 1 Fallen Regulator lived a better life compared to mundane humans.

"Impressive" Lenny muttered with a smile, unlike before when he made his descent as a carrier.

He didn't feel any pain or nausea, his evolution into a Fallen Regulator had eased the pressure.

Making him feel at home in the Fallen Realm.

Lenny walked through the street. He was heading towards the location where he was scheduled to meet with the K&B party.

On his way, his eyes scanned through the vicinity, observing the Sanctuary.

He met a few Fallen Regulators; they all had their parties, seemingly unbothered by his existence.

He was ignored, but he didn't mind; to him, it was better this way.

Lenny lingered for a moment, "There are more than a hundred Fallen Regulators scattered across this Sanctuary"

"But I could only count ten Rank 2 Fallen Regulators, are they that rare?" Lenny questioned.

A chuckle was heard beside him, prompting Lenny to scoff, his gaze slightly tilted "Did I say something funny?" Lenny asked with a frown.

Walking beside him was no other than the young boy whom Lenny referred to as his brother.

A triplet who had died alongside Great House Night.

The young boy grinned, "Are you that oblivious to the Regulator's society?" He asked, he had his arms folded, "Or do you think evolution is that easy?" He added.

Lenny softly exhaled, "Sure, I know evolution isn't easy but how would humanity fight against the corruption of the Fallen Realm if their progress is this stagnant?" Asked Lenny.

The boy shrugged, "Well I don't know, blame those old geezers who taunt humanity's growth"

"The greed of the Great Houses would never change, even in a thousand years" the boy scowled.

Lenny nodded, "Yeah, I guess it's now considered a tradition to them, but let's keep that aside"

"As you can see, I'm one of those Unknown Fallen Regulators but I'm currently claiming to be a child of shadows"

"I don't want them to think of me as a threat yet, It's still too early" Lenny said, the young boy grinned, "Yeah it is, those old geezers are sensitive…."

The eyebrows of the young boy suddenly furrowed, "But you need to fasten your evolution" He stated.

Lenny nodded, his lips curled into a faint smile, "Is it because of that man?" Lenny asked.

"....." The young boy stayed silent, not uttering another word.

But before Lenny could speak, a voice called out to him from behind.

"Hey, you must be Lenny Night, right?" An unfamiliar feminine voice asked, Lenny slightly tilted his gaze to see a damsel standing before him.

Her smiles were seductive, standing tall, taller than Lenny who was 5'7, she stood at 5'10.

Petite with a slender, curvy waist, she was putting on a silver battle armor. Seeing as it radiates with an unknown energy.

Lenny concluded it to be a Fallen Relic.

"Hi?" She called out again, "Don't you speak English?" She asked.

Lenny couldn't help but smile at her question, he took a deep breath before answering, "Ofcourse I can speak English, I was simply admiring your beauty" He said.

The young boy glanced at Lenny mischievously, and the petite damsel blushed.

"T-thank you" She stammered a bit before continuing, "My name is Benita, what about you?" She asked.

Lenny sighed, "Ah yes, Benita of K&B, I'm glad to see you are the right one, the name is Lenny Night." Lenny answered, stretching his hand for a shake.

Benita blinked for a few seconds. Lenny's hand was left frozen in the air. "Is there an issue?" Lenny asked.

Benita quickly cleared her throat, she responded by shaking his hand, "Ah, nothing is wrong….I'm just surprised though," She answered.

Lenny raised an eyebrow, "Surprised about what?" He asked….

Benita giggled, "It's just that we were surprised by your last name, are you really a Night?" She asked..

Her question caused Lenny to smile. He shrugged, "Sure, I am a Night, the last Night I must say," He answered.

Benita nodded, "I believe you, but seven years ago, Great House Night fell and we believed they were simply erased"

"Even their Great Sanctuary vanished as well, where were you then?" She asked..

Lenny's smile faltered for a second, his eyebrows furrowed, "Where was I? Let me see, I was locked away by the Government for being too insane" He answered truthfully.

Benita's eyes widened in shock. She tried to speak, but no words came out of her mouth.

In the end, Lenny had to interfere, "Where are the rest?" He asked, scanning the area to see if he could find the rest..

Benita smiled, "Ah them, they're all waiting for you, I was sent here to direct you to our base of operation" She answered.

Lenny nodded, "Then take me to them." Lenny's words sounded like an order, but Benita ignored them.

She complied with his request, leading him towards the eastern area of the Telvian Sanctuary.

They arrived within minutes. The base was a five-bedroom bungalow, but redesigned to be an operational base.

Benita brought Lenny into the building and he was met with the rest of the K&B party.

While Benita is a brunette, Fril had long curly black hair and black eyes, she was similar to Lenny in terms of height.

But Lenny was an inch taller, making her 5'6.

Fril was quiet and goth looking, Lenny analyzed her with his eyes, he found her interesting.

Simply because she looks unhinged.

Meanwhile, Kennedy stood tall, a 6'4 muscular Knight with broad shoulders, clad in a knight's battle armor.

His Fallen Relic glistened in the moonlight.

He was grinning at Lenny's small stature. Jay stood beside Kennedy, while he smiled at Lenny warmly.

Both Fril and Kennedy had long curly black hair similar to Lenny while Jay had short hair and he was blonde as well.

Jay looked simple, standing at 6'0, he held a walking cane, Lenny could sense magical enchantments coming from the walking cane.

Confirming it to be also a Fallen Relic.

Each of them was clad in their respective battle gear, ready for their expedition.

Benita smiled sheepishly as she addressed the team, "Guys, I brought him….meet Lenny Night and Lenny, meet the K&B party." She gestured.

Jay took a step forward, he approached Lenny gently, stretching his right hand for a shake "Welcome to the K&B party Mr. Night"
