Chapter 90 The Apostle and General (1)
"Apostle, my ass... you're just a snotty kid who doesn't know anything about how this works. What? Are you a son of one of the generals or lieutenants? Well, I'll have you know I'm a general-"
"That's great," I bluntly replied, pushing past her and walking up to the shiny metal doors blocking my entrance.
BANG BANG BANG BANG
I slammed on the doors, causing everybody in the room to jerk their heads up and immediately try to stop me.
"It's fine. He can come in."
As soon as the woman immediately stopped, I pushed through the two now unlocked doors while giving the finger to her.
She clicked her tongue before sitting down on one of the cushioned stools, awaiting her turn. She was an interesting woman as she wasn't wearing the robes that most followers of this religion wore. So, I was down to investigate her more later.
"I apologize for her rudeness... She may come off as overbearing and disrespectful, but please believe that she is a kind human," A familiar voice stretched across the room.
I looked up, seeing the massive office with a small little table at the very end. The room was bigger and more secure, with various believers eyeing me as I walked down the red carpet stretching across the middle of the office.
As soon as I reached the glass desk, I looked past the familiar man and through the gaping glass wall behind him, revealing an environment completely destroyed by pollution.
"I did call you for another matter, but first, let's settle something... you don't have an apostle you're working with, right?"
"Ummmm..." The woman hesitated to answer as she glanced down at me, but eventually looked back at the apostle in front of him. "Yes... I... I do not have an apostle I'm working with."
"Can you tell me why? I'm sure you've worked with a few in the past. Did it not work out with them, or was it maybe clashing ideals? I don't mind... you can speak whatever is on your mind...."
"W-Well, yeah, it's my fault... Sir, I apologize, but if you want me to work with this little boy, I refuse. All of my previous partnerships with other apostles either ended in bloodshed or cutting ties on bad terms. I do not wish to make anymore enemies... and I especially don't want to lower myself to work with this kid."
"Unfortunately, you have no other choice as you may be one of our best generals, but if you do not have the guidance of an apostle, somebody close to our god, then you are more useless than the weaklings walking about this building."
"I... I apologize, sir. Please forgive me for my rudeness," The woman lowered her head, and as the man turned away from the polluted view and looked back at me, he lightly smiled. "Since you want an army so bad, I'll give you one. Work with her, and you will have one of the best troops our... "cult" has to offer."
"Whatever... as long as I get an army, I don't care who I bring along," I muttered, running my eyes up and down the woman who was now balling her hands into two tight fists.
"Great, then you two can start working together right now. You are dismissed... I must talk with Miss Azzroth for a moment."
"Damn, Azzroth? That's a cool name," I smirked, nudging the woman ever so slightly with my elbow, only to receive a push to my forehead due to her long reach. "Glad to be working with you," I faked a smile before turning back around.
I walked out of the office content. Not happy, but content as my partner may be an emo asshole, but at least I acquired what I set out to do.
"Now that everything has been settled and prepared for the main quest, I just need to figure out how to actually complete this annoying side quest."
