" Tell me more about it? "
Unlike her usual self, Gila said in a rather serious tone.
" Well... I first found him in a pathetic state, and he was... "
From her first encounter with him till now, Cela spelled out every thing she knew about Mark.
Cela was a curious minded woman, she would do whatever it takes to finish funding her answers.
So when she wanted to find an answer for her mystery, she didn't held back and answered every single question of Glia, without a second pause.
Five minutes later.
" Well... my child it seems that the severity of matters had far exceeded from what you could handle at present. "
Glia pondered for a while before exclaiming " Is Cardinal Rule next to you? "
" Cardinal Rule! " Cela mumbled out in surprise.
" Why that old thing? Does she had some plans with him, why not call him by herself?
It's not like I am the only one who has this communication apparatus to begin with! "
Cela remained silent for some time before stating. " Yes he's in the next room, but why do I need to disturb that arrogant man?
" Haha! arrogant indeed! " Glia laughed out silently, while covering the lips of her with her slender fingers.
She then continued stating " My child, that old thing, inform him that this Glia has some important plans to discuss!
I would punish him severely, if he's still trying to slack off like an old pig! " Glia laughed out with a smug face.
" But, how does that explain the question i put you up with? "
Cela was not pleased with Glia, as her mother was entirely shifting the topic to an another thing.
" Using your name, do you think he'll exit his damn meditation? " She cursed her internally.
" He's near break through point and trying to get closer to the stage seven of spirit saint cultivation.
Wouldn't he use this to excuse himself from answering your call. "
Cela exclaimed out while controlling her anger, looking at the graceful figure of her mother who was smiling at her with a wide smile.
Though she didn't want to bother with cardinal Rule, mainly because of his arrogant personality.
The main reason would be a waste of her time!
Rule had a goal of becoming the grand cardinal, who's powers would be second next to Pope.
And wasting time with her was equivalent to burring his future to answer her curious question.
So she knew the answer even before she could try executing it.
But all of a sudden, Glia exclaimed out a shocking thing to cela.
" It does concern him, I mean the boy named Mark, but call Rule first!
Each second matters here and I am going to call that Pope, and I don't think he'd ( Rule ) still be stingy enough to not show his face by then! "
Muttering these shocking words she disappeared into the mist, from which she took shape earlier.
" Cardinal Rule! Seems like I really have to inform that mad man, if Pope is getting involved it definitely won't be a small matter to begin with! "
Exclaiming it out, cela left her room to bring that cardinal into the scenes.
######
While the party of the church's people were about to discuss an important matter, related to Mark.
The mission ordered by Gazil was about to be executed, without the presence of helix.
His ex named Fatale was still present around, not willing to abandon the mission, not as how helix wanted her to leave.
So the absence of helix was quite self justifiable, when Fatale was present around to fool with the mission.
" Fatale, the mission time is about to desend, yet there isn't a trace of helix to be sensed around! "
The hoarse voice of geogul was a bit irritating to her ears, but Fatale had to bear with it.
As she had a different set of plans to be done, while executing this abduction mission.
" That coward might have chickened out at last moment.
Our informat hezoda revealed the existence of a strong warrior mediating inside!
Seems like he's worried over it! "
Though the actual happening for helix absence was known to all, Fatale exclaimed out a shameless lie while thinking of how to execute her secondary plans, after entering the palace.
" What ever it may be, with the power levels of these weaklings, do I even had a need to engage in battle, directly.
Rubbing the smooth skull of a skeletal hound, that popped out of no where, she then stated.
" Don't you think that, my creations are far more than sufficient to deal with these weaklings? "
Popping a war horse made up of bones the one that was emitting a strong dead aura from it.
Fatale sat on top of it, before rushing straight towards the western warlords palace.
A minute later.
Near the outer walls of western warlords palace.
Both geogul and Fatale travelled tens of kilometers in a minute, without being notified by the guards stationed at the palace walls.
" The mission is abducting the Milton boy and Ruthschild girl right? " Geogul questioned out of no where.
" Yes, but why did you mentioned it out of no where? " Fatale questioned him back.
" Nothing, it's just that boss has informed me to execute his mission without a mistake.
And if Fatale were to deviate from the original plan I would have full rights to stop her by then! "
Like a ten years old kid who got a stuff called power, geogul exclaimed out with a revealing smile, from which his finger sized tooth were visible outside.
" Boss! " Fatale mumbled out lightly.
" What did that stupid Gazil think of me, while giving these sets of instructions to geogul?
Too hateful, but good thing that he's geogul to begin with, and he's easy to fool around! "
" You are to stop me, If I deviate from the plan right? "
Fatale sneered in while looking at the naive face of geogul, who gave a nod to her question in return.
" By yourself, you are strong enough to flatten the whole of this western warlords palace!
While helix is away, I am the one who's next in charge to command you.
So let's abduct the ones called mark and Xena together, while my creation run errands for me! "
looking at his pea sized intellect, Fatale tried confusing him a little.
" What are you trying to say? Make it simpler, This geogul is not able to understand it! "
Geogul questioned her, not being able to understand what she's trying to spell out!
" It's simple, I have an experiment to do!
It's to try necromancing the whole of this place at once, and turn it into an necropolis of my own over night.
No worries! To create a dead city, my creations are far more than enough!
So going by the original plan, we could both abduct our targets and at the same time increase my army count to an another degree. "
Fatale exclaimed out schemingly, while pressuring the part of abducting to a larger degree, to let this geogul agree to her terms.
Had she failed to convince him, her plans are failed even before they actually begin to take shape.
Geogul had a frightening cultivation base of sixth stage in spirit saint cultivation realm.
With her fifth stage of spirt saint cultivation, it would be a dream to defy the huge build of him, had he tried interfering with her later plans, later.
So for her, convincing him was far more important than any other stuff at this moment.
" So you are staying with me to abduct them right? "
Geogul with his pea sized intellect fallen to her plans and asked out that simple question.
Yes I am going to stay next to you, do you take me for a trouble maker?
Haha! Boss's plan comes before anything else, let's infiltrate inside! "
She laughed out lightly looking at the naive self of him, that was easy to fool around.
Whoosh!
Waving her slender hands around, she summoned some skeletons to assassinate the guards patrolling above.
" Dead within seconds! " Fatale was a bit disappointed with their resistance, as they fallen within a second to her summons.
" Haha! Necropolis, a city for the dead!
No wonder helix passed this mission to me, seems like he had predicted the possibility of this thing before hand! "
A mature voice of an adult male rang to their ears.
" Who goes there? "
Fatale roared out, summoning a huge pair of bony claw and dashed it straight at the direction, from where his voice came out.
With a huge momentum, the claws dashed to a tall tree, where this new comer was hidden within its leaves.
Two large pairs of bones, both from the opposite sides were about to crash at him with a high impact, and Fatale was trying to smash the newcomer as a whole.
Boom!
A huge impact took place, but contrary to the expectations, even a speck of sound was not to be heard, as the mysterious man in black outfit had neutralized the sound as a whole.
" Fatale! These bony trash isn't enough to scratch my skin! Let alone my eastern devil suit! "
A person in long black war outfits had swayed his hands, revealing him from within the leaves, before jumping straight before them.
" Raid! "
Geogul exclaimed out excitingly, looking at the familiar figure who had entered the scene.
" What are you doing here? " Fatale glared at him coldly.
" I am his replacement, I mean I am your ex's replacement to this current mission. " Raid exclaimed out with an indifferent face.
" As the one with higher rank in hierarchy, I hope you would better follow my orders strictly.
Note that I am not as soft hearted as that kind idiot to begin with!
So trash aside any thoughts of playing tricks on me and on top of it no necropolis is going to be constructed here!
Mark my words well, no necropolis while I am in lead! "
The person named Raid then exclaimed aggressively, warning her at the same time to stay in her limits while at it.
" With you around, do I even have a need to involve in this mission seriously? "
Fatale questioned out with an unjust eyes.
" Bitch! You are taking orders here, and I am the one who makes decision here, so stop your act and me submissive as you should! "
" What if I doesn't? " Fatale bellowed back without giving a face to him.
" Had you disobeyed me, I have full rights to punish you, how about... "
With a lecherous glare on his eyes, Raid set his eyes over the half covered cleavage of her's.
" Bastard! Try it if you can? " Fatale who got the general idea of what's going in his mind raged back, surging her cold icy black aura around her.
" He he! Times to punish you! "
Sneering it out, Raid clawed his hands trying to grab the pair of melons hung on her chest.
Bringing out a pitch black blade, Fatale swung it diagonally, trying to cut raid into two.
Boom!
" Stop! I won't allow internal fights, not again in my watch! "
Geogul stepped forward and grabbed both their bodies with his meter long giant palm, bringing an end to this meaningless battle at once.
" Che! Tough bastard, instruct her well there wouldn't be a second excuse, you know the temper of boss well and what he does to one for insubordinace? "
Bellowing it out, Raid freed him from the grasp before setting his foot on the floor.
" Che! I had half way used my black desend! Fatale you had sacrificed much to get to this point, don't get swayed by his provokive taunts or curses!
Only intelligent people lives longer, not the ones with brute! "
Exclaiming internally, Fatale too got down reflecting herself for getting baited by Raid, as he wantedly provoked her to act so.
