1 week later...
In the Town, outside of the manor of the big mansion.
There was a big crowd gathering at the front gate of the mansion. People gathered around were whispering among themselves.
" what happen here, why is everyone gathered?"
" don't you know, the chief guard of the North bash through the gate of mansion with is people,"
" did the owner of the mansion did something,"
" i don't know, the guard were angry with him,"
there were all sorts of conversation and assumption were made between the group of people. When the soldiers from the Town head came and took both the chief guard and the owner of the mansion.
*********
1 hour before the crowd incident.
in the outskirt of the Town..
" did you send the letter properly,?". the chief of the guard ask on his man.
" yes, sir. but we didn't get any reply" the person who was asked replied.
" fuck, if he want to play like that, then lets play, gather the boys," the chief order the man. within short moment all of his men gather themselves. He took all of them except for few to keep guard the town gate. And went straight to the said person house. the chief and his barge straight into the mansion, without any prior notice.
The watchmen and the maids of the mansion were asking them,
" how come, you barge in into the mansion, without any notice"
" we will file report to the Town's lord office, if you don't give us proper explanation,"
ignoring all this the chief and his men went straight to the owner.
" oh my, my what brings chief Lan to my abode," the owner of the mansion said to chief Lan in a playful tone after coming out of his office, when he heard the commotion going on.
" stop messing around with me Audi, where is the boy, tell me or else," chief Lan said to the owner of the mansion. Ben Audi is the father of Tang Audi, whom Theo kill accidently.
" or else what, gonna kill me," Ben Audi said to chief Lan with a smirk. when chief Lan saw the smirk he knew that there was something fishy and his assumption came true, when the Town's Lord people came.
**********
Present time, Lord's Mansion.
"greeting to the lord"
"greeting to the lord"
both bow down and said at the same time, hearing the greetings, the Lord gave a sign to relax to both of them. He was looking at the report he got from one of his men, when he ask," Shen tell me, why did you do that without my permission,". to the chief guard. chief Lan full name was Shen Lan.
"lor....." chief Lan didn't even get to finish his word when lord of mansion, cut him off his sentences
" stop, calling that. you know that i hate it to hear that word from you." The lord said.
" ok as you wish, Rey. Its good now". Chief Lan said to Lord. Chief Lan and Lord Rey were child hood friends. Thats why Lord Rey ask him speak informally.
" yeah thats good, now tell me what happen,". lord Rey said again.
Chief Lan told him the detail about, how Audi paid 30 hunter to kill Theo and after that, hiring cultivator to hunt the hunter and now the boy is missing. He knowing miss the part of Theo killing the Audi's son.
After Listening to the explanation of his friend , Rey ask Audi," do you have anything to say about this, Audi,". when Audi listen to the conversation between Shen and Rey, he knew was in big trouble, till then he wasn't some mere rat, he was an old fox and he knew how to get rid of the such situation. He plan everything before hand, even for such situation, but he didn't expect to learn that Town's lord and chief Lan were friends, if he knew. He would plan it properly.
as Audi replied to Rey question," lord, i did sent 30 hunter and a cultivator at the boy house, but didn't expect that the 30 hunter to die and as well as the cultivator i send is missing too,"
" but you knew that, unauthorised cultivator are illegal isn't it, then why did you bring the cultivator to the Town," Rey interrupted Audi. As all the cultivator have to register themselves at the gate before entering, for the protection of citizens and the country.
" i know, and iam ready to pay the price for it," Audi replied
"but the thing is that, that cultivator was special, he was from Kang Lang sect and that too core disciple and he came here for his mission. and his last location was at the central layer of the forest," Audi said again.
" is what you are saying true, if you tell lie, you know the consecution right," Rey ask Audi in serious tone with little killing intent reveal. Cause this was matter of one of the 10 sect and sect usually don't meddle with the kingdom and empire. And if it is found one of the disciple then there is something fishy going on. Thats why he said such thing to Audi.
Audi got scared when he felt the killing intent, but he steel his heard and replied with much difficulty because of killing Intent," I am telling the truth my lord, they must have send you a letter of investigation for the central layer of the forest,".
When he heard letter of investigation, he order one of his men to search for it, in his file. By the time letter came, he said again," Audi you may leave, but if found it is lie, you know what will happen right, and Shen wait,".
Audi gritted his teeth and left the Lord mansion, he knew Chief Lan was from a big family, but didn't know it was this big. he can feel the air of trouble hanging around him, but for some reason he like it.
