In the outskirts of the Imperial city,
The man in the wheelchair was thinking about his upcoming plan. Just then his subordinate came with an old man.
The old man was in his late sixties, his hair and beard were smoky-grey in color, his faded skin and crooked fingers were giving a creepy look. On the contrary, his eyes were shining like he is finally getting what he yearned for his whole life. He looked at that man, smile by showing his foxy smile, bowed and said, "Greetings to master."
The man in the wheelchair didn't like the first impression of his so-called savior. He was getting bad vibes from that old man. He knew that this old man is up to something, just taking a single glance at his eyes.
He said, "I heard that you saved my life and now helping me to improve my health." The old man nodded and said, "Yes master, I w…" the man interrupted him, "Thank you. What do you want in return?"
The old man smiled and said with determined eyes, "I want to help you finding the Demon Lord."
'Exactly how many enemies that small kid had created just in those two years!' The man in the wheelchair thought.
He asked, "What did that kid do with you? Did he also destroy you?" Hatred grew in the eyes of the old man. Covering his hatred with a smile, he replied, "He is one of the most important reasons for my destruction. Also, to snatch off my thing again, I need him."
The man in the wheelchair surprised. He thought that till now, he is the only biggest enemy of that kid. But looking at the eyes of the old man, he wondered about the reason. He said, "Ok then. I will help you since both of us has to settle accounts with him. My assistant will explain everything."
The subordinate nodded and told what they had found about the Demon Lord. The old man sat on the couch and looked at the file. When he saw the picture of the Demon Lord, his forehead creased. 'That is not possible; although he was also responsible for it… that over smart Crown Pr…, he is not the one I am looking for' he thought.
Looking at the old man's confused face, the man said, "Do you also think that he is not the demon lord?" The old man came out from his thoughts and said, "Actually I don't know much about the demon lord. I can't say anything unless I see him with my own eyes." The man asked, "Do you remember his face or something related to him?"
'How can I forget the face of that tyrant! That kid was the sole reason for his defeat. He had successfully got hold of that stupid girl but he came in between. Even if he had killed both of them, he was still defeated. That stupid girl has to use her brain at the very crucial moment! He couldn't get hold of that thing in the end!'
Even if he was thinking about those incidents, he covered his feeling with his creepy smile and said, "I don't remember his face but I can tell if he is the demon lord or not after checking few things. This time, things seem different." That's right, he was not sure if all of them are born with the same faces or not just on the basis of the man sitting in front of him.
He turned the page and read the information about that person, he felt it unbelievable. A doctor? That is ridiculous! He can never become that kind of person even in this life. That over-smart kid who had the same face also cannot become a doctor. He really has to check these things by himself.
When he turned the page, he was shocked! His main target, that stupid girl! He tightened his hold around the file. But then again, he thought that she might not be that person just because she had the same face from the past. If it turns out that she is studying medicine, then he can be sure that she is that stupid girl.
The man in the wheelchair became curious. Even if this old man made an expressionless face, his eyes and some micro-movements were saying something different. It was showing hatred and eagerness to do something.
The subordinate told the old man about the girl and how she is related to this case. He started thinking about it. The subordinate also told their plan of kidnapping her.
The old man said quickly, "Hold on! Don't kidnap her soon. We don't know if this person is really the Demon Lord or not. Just leak the information about her kidnapping to him and create an illusion. If he shows himself there, then it will be confirmed that he is the Demon Lord. If we kidnap that girl now, it will be a waste of time and can create trouble for us."
The man in the wheelchair said, "But we have to know how much that girl knows about that incident, after all, she was the only witness." The old man smiled and said, "She won't remember as long as we don't trigger her memory. It is possible that she might have forgotten it already."
Thinking about it, the man in the wheelchair felt satisfied and commanded his subordinate, "Tell some guards to leak the information about her kidnapping without getting caught." He told the time and place to his subordinate. The subordinate nodded and left.
The old man was staring at the two pictures in front of him. This trap can definitely let him know either about that tyrant or about that over-smart boy. Those two had worked secretly and destroyed his perfect plan! This time, he won't let that happen again.
He suddenly remembered something and thought, "Ahh, how can I forget that guard of that stupid girl!" Now he has one more person to find.
