Dungeon Raider System-Chapter 504: We’re not gonna take it Part 2

"And why exactly should I listen to the father of the one who caused all this in the first place?" Uriel glared at Samuel song with brimming blue eyes and even though the old man refused to be intimidated, he also didn't deny his accusations.

"What do you think you're doing, kid? Just because you defeated those things doesn't mean you can speak like that to the boss!" Samuel Song's bodyguards put themselves in between their asset and Uriel.

"You're lucky we're poisoned, otherwise your head would be rolling on the ground right now for insubordination!" The head of the hunter agency blurted out, but Uriel ignored them altogether.

He didn't care about them in the least and the only reason he stayed was because he knew that there had to be at least a couple 'friends'. He didn't need to get inside his museum to know he became stronger as soon as he stepped inside the hospital thanks to the passive effect of the 'Red thread of fate', but still decided to do it just to know how many friends he needed to find.

After a quick check, Uriel found out that in there were three people the system deemed as friends in the vicinity which explained why he felt so much stronger than before while wielding the dagger.

As much as Uriel wanted to return to Luna and Medusa as soon as possible, doing so with a boost in his power would make things a lot easier for them and could potentially mean the difference between life and death. He lifted his gas lantern to see the faces of those present, but all he could see was the scared face people made when they were put on the spotlight.

No one dared to return his gaze, until he saw two familiar faces looking directly at him.

"Vivian!" Uriel let out a gasp when he saw Vivian and her sister Mary holding hands.

"I'm glad to see you're fine..." Vivian muttered with a thin voice. She felt awkward that Uriel dismissed three of the most prominent people in the city, but focused his full attention on someone like her.

"You scared me for a second there," Mary said in a wheeze, but then giggled and continued. "But I knew someone as abnormal as you won't fall to a couple bullets here and there."

"Just a couple bullets!? My new clothes are ruined." Uriel pointed at his shirt that torn to pieces while he inwardly wished he had a shirt artifact that could repair itself with a couple flux orbs.

As Uriel joked around with Mary, the heads of the city were left in a daze. For the first time in their lives they were being completely ignored by someone, not just that, Uriel didn't show any emotion towards them. Not fear, not respect, nothing.

Then, he dared turn his back to some of the strongest bodyguards in the whole city just so he could 'flirt' with a heavenly rank hunter and her slum rat sister.

"Please excuse his behavior, he's been through a lot. I'll get him to listen to reason." Tina apologized on behalf of Uriel and rushed towards him.

"What do you want?" Uriel said without even turning to see Tina.

"Uri, this city needs you... I need you. Why can't you just do as they say and get Mister Scofield to come back?"

"I have more important stuff to do than playing 'errand boy'." Uriel coldly replied, but Tina insisted.

"You're being very rude to some of the strongest and more important people in this city. They may be helpless now, but as soon as the venom wears out they may seek for revenge." Tina said in a whisper as though she was sharing a secret.

"And you're saying I should go on a suicide mission outside city walls just to appease them? What if I come back alive after doing what they said and they still decide to have me killed anyway?"

"Mary, get him to understand, please." Tina pouted to her friend.

Mary knew Tina better than anybody else. She knew how manipulative and cold she could be when she wanted something and even though Mary knew it would cost her her 'friendship' with Tina, she decided to side with Uriel this time.

"I'm sorry Tina, but you've treated him unfairly all this time. The least he deserves is to be left alone." She replied with a troubled expression.

"You're saying that after everything I've done for you!?" Tina cried cold tears, so very cold it brought shivers to Mary, but she didn't falter.

"Yes! That's because... that's because..." Mary wanted to speak but her words wouldn't come out. Then, the most unlikely person to talk back to Tina finally had enough and decided someone needed to do it.

"That's because all of you greedy people only think about yourselves! Where were you when cryptids started taking over this city!? Where were you when the Fallen corporation took advantage of the poor and killed them?" Vivian shouted. "While you sat on your asses, he hunted down the things that lurked in the slums for years.

It was your duty to evacuate the city before the battle against the titan started, but you knew your fancy titles meant nothing without citizens to take advantage of, you're all filthy and corrupt motherf..." Vivian spoke with the intensity only someone who lived in the slums could muster.

It was pure rage against everything the so called authority figures represented born from the depths of her heart.

She was just a slum rat that worked hard to get her sister through college, but instead of becoming a self sufficient hunter and live a comfortable life, Mary decided to become Tina's minion despite being mistreated every single day. She saw her cry and struggle so many times because of Tina, Vivian resented her with all she had.

"Woa! That's enough, Vivian." Uriel finally butted in. As amused as she was by the usually shy Vivian speaking like that to one of the most loved and respected heavenly rank hunters in the city, he needed to stop her before things went out of hand.

Without their traits, most of the hunters were helpless and Uriel noticed how some people reached for the guns that dropped after the doppelgangers were defeated.

"We're at a point where it doesn't matter if the Quill returns, even if he comes along with that Jerk Hunter," Uriel spoke in a low voice to make sure people needed to remain silent to hear him. "the only way we can stop this madness is if we get Sam to back off."

"You don't understand, my son... he's not the same." Samuel Song spoke with a hint of emotion, showing he wasn't just the highest government official in the city but also a worried father.

"You have no clue as to what I know. That's why..."

"I know, I know what happened to you. He told me everything in detail, he also told me about 'him', but there's something you must understand. He is..." A loud noise echoed as a bullet aimed at Samuel Song fired from the faceless crowd went directly through one of the bodyguards chest and his limp body fell unceremoniously before his boss could finish speaking.

The nearby hunters hurried over and futilely attempted to save a life that just wasn't there anymore. People began shifting blame to each other in a wider circle until everyone started fighting each other. To say all hell broke lose would be an understatement as there weren't any sides, just people accusing each other and trying to kill before they got killed.

Uriel made sure to shelter both Vivian and her sister, while Tina helplessly looked as Uriel distanced himself from there and disappeared into the chaos. Eventually, those who agreed with Vivian's thoughts emerged and took a stance against the government and the helpless hunters could do nothing to stop them.

With their traits sealed, hunters were just like ordinary people and they were taken completely by surprise. What could have been a conversation, one that promised to start making sense of Sam's movements, became a murder and then an uprising.

Uriel was beyond shocked by the turn of events. Granted, he wasn't a big fan of authority figures and Samuel Song tried to have him killed, but he still remembered how he sided with him when the dungeon of the Alamo was discovered.

If it wasn't for Samuel, he would have been unable to take any part in the exploration of said dungeon in spites of the deal he struck with Tina, who after learning about the existence of the dungeon went to her father and completely forgot to mention the deal they made.

Once more, with more questions than answers, Uriel rushed outside. Only this time he wasn't by himself as he made sure to take both sisters with him back to where his friends awaited for him.

In a city that turned into a bloody mess where hunters killed other hunters for loot, civilians killed others for their political views and cryptids turned against cryptids looking for the best shelter, a young man desperately attempted to make his way back to his friends surrounded by uncanny cryptids called eclipses slowly dimming the already scarce light.
