The surroundings were silent as everyone watched the standoff between the Loki executives and the Zeus captain.

"Nothing to say" questioned Algar. A stone would probably have more expression on its face then what was on his face.

Despite this however someone stepped forward and Algars face twitched.

" Greetings" began Finn, with a poker face to match Algars "my name is Finn Deimne the captain of the Loki familia" despite his poker face inside he was screming. If the doubts of him being level 9 were there, then they pretty much jumped out his head the moment he saw the elven prince for the first time. ' Ottars presence doesnt even compare' thought Finn. He knew that the man in front of him could destroy him with a swipe of his spear. It wouldnt even be a fight.

"Mmhhhm, at least you arent as much of a coward as i first thought" began Algar " my name is Algar Cranel captain of the Zeus familia. I would say it was a pleasure but then i would be lieing. What do you want, your presence here isnt by accident."

" Hey now theres no need to get all worked up so quickly " jumped in Loki with her hands on her hips

" Godess Loki, the trickster herself. Any particular why I shoudnt get upset? That was a rhetorical question by the way, keep quiet. " said Algar again before Loki could speak. "

The actions of your familia completely destroyed mine. By selfishly desiring the top spot you kicked out people who had no place to go and then you still couldnt get the top spot as Freya took that one for herself and now you stand before me and ask me to calm down. No i dont believe that I will."

By now adventurers and gods from all types of families had gathered to watch the drama unfold, and what drama it was.

"Hey, someone had to take the blame, you guys failed, you got overconfident, besides it didnt even affect yo-" Loki would immediately regret saying that sentence.

"DIDNT AFFECT ME? DIDNT AFFECT ME? BECAUSE OF YOUR ACTIONS MY ELDEST DAUGHTER TURNED HER BACK ON MY TEACHINGS AND ATTACKED THE VERY CITY THAT I LOVED. BECAUSE OF YOUR ACTIONS I HAD TO WATCH MY SECOND DAUGHTER DIE OF A SICKNESS WE COULDNT CURE BECAUSE ONLY ORARIO HAD THE CORRECT MEDICINE TO HELP. BECAUSE OF YOU MY GRANDSON BEHIND ME WILL NEVER KNOW HIS MOTHER. THE ONLY REASON YOUR PATHETIC FAMILIAS STILL STAND TODAY IS BECAUSE ORANOUS STOPPED ME FROM WIPING YOU OFF OF THE MAP".

The outburst by the elven prince caused the citizens nearby to turn white, the only reason they hadnt't died from his pressure was because it was focused solely on the Loki familia adventurers. Loki barely stood, shaking like a leaf while the Loki executives were on their knees gasping for breath. Hephaestus and Tsubaki could also barely stand and were wondering just what the hell they had gotten themselves into.

Algar only stopped his rant because Bell had hugged him from behind. Bell knew it was the Loki familia that had kicked his uncle and aunt out, he wasnt some naive little boy as his grandpa had been thorough in his teachings but it hurt him to see how much his grandfather was still hurting from his daughters death. He had never met his mother so her death hadnt affected his as much because his grandfather was always there for him.True, his grandfather was a kind and compassionate man, and he truly couldnt ask for a better teacher.

However, this was the side that he hide from the world. He might be young in terms of elven years but he still raised two daughters and having whatched them go astray and die had hit him hard. Harder than any blow from a weapon ever could. The love a father has for their children cannot be explained and just as love can be a blessing it can also be a curse. One that when festered sits deep and eats one out from the inside.

Algar took a deep breath and calmed down before turning to the surrounding adventurers, citizens and gods and bowing low before apologizing" Im sorry everyone, my behaviour was out of line, i did not mean to affect you all like that." He said before he turned to speak to the Loki familia on the floor only to be interrupted

"Dont worry about it"

Algar turned and saw that it was a human man and standing next to him was a woman and a holding his hand was someone who he assumed to be his daughter. " I can understand where you are coming from, as someone with a family it is my greatest fear to see my daughter one day die before me". The man finished with a teary eyed smile at the elven prince.

"Thank you" breathed out Algar who turned to the now standing Loki executives. "You might have gotten your fame Loki familia, but did you ever consider at what cost. Of the 152 members in the Zeus familia 62 of them are children or lovers of those who died fighting the one eyed black dragon. Losing loved ones only to be kicked out of the city that those loved ones died to protect. Doesnt sound very heroic to me despite certain claims otherwise. I lost my daughters already, my grandson and my familia members are all that i have left of them. Do anything to harm them and i swear that you will discover just what it is that an angry level 9 can do." Having said his piece Algar scooped Bell into his arms and dissappeared from sight.

The Loki executives stood on shaky legs taking in their surroundings. And it wasnt looking good. The very people who celebrated them as heores were now looking at them as villans with some parents in the crowd looking ready to muder someone.

Loki could only sigh and wonder just when it was that everything went to shit.

Never really seen a fic where someone calls the Loki familia out on the bullshit that took place before canon so thought id give it a try. Will they keep their position and reputation or was their power play all for naught? Tell me your thoughts and ill check you in the next chapter.
