Gangland Fantasy 43 Silver Sparrow Family

Naga didn't go outside of their manor for the whole week. Aside from his physical and arcane training, he also allotted time to read and get pointers from the Book. His Arcane Mana Reserve is more powerful and stable than before and he is now an Arcane Master. He also used this time to ask Hextor and Draxus more information about Dragon Mana. He learned about the nine ranks of dragon power and currently he is already at 4th rank which surprised Draxus. Naga said that this is most probably because of the Dragon Heart he consumed in the cave before. With his pure and ancient dragon mana, his dragon art is more powerful. Naga learned a new dragon art as well from Hextor.

After a week, his Silver Sparrow Family arrived. Naga planned a meeting to introduce his two new companions and checked the group's improvement.

"Boss, welcome back!" Alfred said and smiled.

"Naga! I am more powerful now! Hahaha!" Nicholas said.

"Boss!" Dubanov and Cris were excited to see Naga as well.

Naga smiled. "I am glad that you're all fine."

Naga looked at them and he saw changes with their presence and physique, specially Dubanov. He became much bigger now and his arms look more stronger than before.

"Come! Let's go to the meeting hall." Naga said.

They went to a grand pavillion near the small lake as well. When Naga went out for his mission, Old Drun asked a.s.sistance from the city officials to build a pavillion near Naga's place within the manor's teritory. Inside the pavillion, there are two banners. One for the Iron Crow and another one for the Silver Sparrow.

"Wow! This place is elegant and supreme!" Nicholas said.

Alfred, Cris and Dubanov were stunned as well. They were about to say something when suddenly two men entered the room. Nicholas looked at the two men as well. They saw a kid, the same age as Naga, with long crimson hair and a tall blond man with dangerous eyes.

"They are our new family members." Naga said.

He introduced both of them. "This kid is Hextor. He is a dragon. This man is Draxus. He has dragon bloodline... so he can be considered a dragon too."

Nicholas and the three men were shocked. "Dragons!"

"Nice to meet you. I am Hextor."

"I am Draxus. Together... let's destroy anyone who will hinder our family's path."

"Yes! Haha" Nicholas laughed while looking at the two men with great expectation. He is so happy right now. Who doesn't want to have dragons as companion?

"Our preparation is almost done. We are now on our last stage before fully operating as an underground family. With the mission that I did, I gained a lot. I have something I didn't expect. This will give us more advantage and will make our group more powerful. Also, I am glad that you guys improved a lot." Naga said smiling.

"Cris has good affinity with magic, specially with wind and shadow properties. He is now an Arcane Apprentice. I am not sure why they enlisted him as a soldier and not as a mage before. Well... perhaps since he is poor, he was not given a choice. But at least as a previous cadet, he learned combat and tactics too." Nicholas said.

Nicholas is really happy with Cris. He continued, "Dubanov is as expected... a monster. He has a good understanding with Force Mana and he has a great physique to his advantage too."

He smiled and gave information about Alfred as well, "Alfred, is versatile. He doesn't have strong Force Mana nor talent with Arcane but he is atlethic, agile and quick-witted. Not to mention his will and survival skill are also high so he really fits to be a soldier."

Naga is looking at Nicholas and said. "Those evaluations..."

"Came from Old Samuel. Of course." Nicholas smiled.

"Hahaha!" Naga and the three drop-out cadets laughed.

After a while, Naga said "I am thankful for the efforts you gave. Now, I am giving you gifts. These are the things I prepared for the last step of our preparation."

The group became excited. They have great expectations too.

"Nicholas and Cris. Take these scrolls. One for lightning and one for wind art. These came from the Magnus Clan." Naga said.

"Magnus Clan!" Both Cris and Nicholas heard about the clan before. They hurriedly took the scrolls. "Thanks, boss!"

"Dubanov, take this shield. It came from Hextor. it was created with dragon stone and it has fire and earth runes as well." Naga smiled at Dubanov.

"Thanks, Boss! Thanks, Sir Hextor!" Dubanov said with a big smile. He was surprised.

It is a simple big round shield but It is as black as night and it seems alive.

"Alfred, you are my first recruit. So I will give you the unexpected gained I got from my mission. Come forward."

"Yes, Boss!" Alfred bowed and moved foward.

Nicholas, Dubanov and Cris became excited. They know it is something grand. Also, Draxus and Hextor looked at Naga with big eyes. They can't believe it and they know already what will happen next.

"You may not be gifted by the heavens of any magic talent or affinity but you have the guts and will to be a legend someday. So... let's defy the heaven and expedite the process a bit. You will definitely become a legend. A backbone and famed expert of our family. Here." Naga said smiling. He threw his last piece of Pure Dragon Heart to Alfred.

Alfred caught it with one hand. He looked at it and he felt the strong power coming from the stone.

"Dragon Heart!" Nicholas was shocked. He didn't expect this gift to be so grand. Many kingdoms and powerful clans will go to war foe this yet it was just thrown and given just like an ordinary stone.

Cris heard about it before and was shocked too. He's really excited about his friend's future. They grew up together and he knows how great of a man, Alfred, is. "You are really lucky, Al!"

Dubanov is all smile as well. 'Following Boss Naga is the right choice. We will do our best for his cause!'

"Hahaha!" Nicholas laughed. 'We are really doing it with a blast! This world... Just wait! He thought.

Alfred was stunned. He was not able to move or talk for a few seconds. He can't believe it.

"Boss..." Alfred said.

"That's for you. Show the heaven and earth your might." Naga said and smiled.

Alfred kneeled and solemnly said, "Thank you... I will be a powerful expert, Boss Naga!"

"Good." Naga said.

He looked at all the members of his Silver Sparrow Family and continued, "Now, You will be on training again. In a month, we will meet here and we will officially start our plans. Men, do your best. Go!"

"Yes, Boss!" All of them said it at once.

"Draxus, help Alfred in absorbing the Dragon Heart. Train him too." Naga commanded.

"Yes, My Lord." Draxus responded and went to Alfred.

"Hextor, survey the city's teritory to check any dragons or unknown natural resources that are not discovered yet." Naga commanded and looked at Hextor."

"As you wish, Master." Hextor said and left the room as well.

'This is getting more fun. In a month... yes, in a month, I am officially a head honcho of a gang.' Naga thought to himself and smiled.

He sat comfortably to his chair and closed his eyes.
