Once Noah and the group reached a certain distance from Jing Town, they settled down beneath a tree.
"Okay, now you can tell us everything," Noah said
"Before I tell, can you promise me that you will not harm me after knowing everything?" Young Lady replied
"You are not in a position my lady to put on conditions," Noah said jokingly
The young lady kept silent.
Greg said, "Okay we will not harm you if tell everything truthfully and do not try to plot anything for us."
"That's for sure, but first can I know your name Uncle." Young lady asked
After a little hesitation, Greg replied "My name is Greg and he is Noah."
With Greg's reply, Noah got choked and looked toward Greg and thought "Why Uncle did tell her our real name."
Seeing Noah looking towards himself, Greg knows what Noah is thinking and said: "Noah when you expect another person to be truthful then first you have to be truthful towards him otherwise there will always be a false bridge which can be destroyed with little air."
"So miss since we have told you our real name we also expect that you will tell us truthfully," Greg said
"Yes Uncle Greg, you can trust me in that, I also want to say that you are an easy person with whom I can talk, unlike some kids." The young lady replied while looking towards Noah.
Noah become angry with the young lady's reply and asked angrily "Whom you are calling kid and what do you mean by that, unlike some kid."
"Smart already understood what I am saying and to whom." The young lady said
Before Noah say anything Greg butted in and said: "Okay guys stop bickering with each other and you Miss please start with the details."
The young lady becomes happy after seeing Noah like a deflated balloon and started telling.
"My name is Shelley and I am the daughter of Businessman Vij who was once the largest businessman in Jing town and its surrounding village. It was also true what I told you before that the boss of those two chasers wanted to marry me, so once I got this news I ran out of Jing town while thinking that I will be able to avoid that.
But who would have thought just as I started moving towards the exit of town those start chasing me if I didn't cross the path with you and you guys helped me I might have already been captured by them.
So I would like to thank you once again for saving me."
"So who is that boss who wants to marry you and what happened to your father since he was the biggest businessman in Jing town he sure will have his trusted allies, why don't they help," Noah asked.
Shelley snorted at Noah and then replied with a sigh.
"Yes my father was indeed the biggest businessman in Jing town but that was until a year ago. Last year something major happened in Jing town, a new businessman has come to Jing town, his name is Gaurav and as soon as he come he gave an order to all the business owners in Jing town to either submit to him or handover their business to him, if not the consequences have to bear themselves.
Initially, everyone thought he is an idiot and if he say to hand over we do that, so no one took seriously the order he has given and everyone worked normally.
But something started happening to the small business owners, some become bankrupt, some mysteriously died, we got the hunch that it was done by that Gaurav so my father used his network in Jing town and confirmed that it was done by that Gaurav.
Once others got this panic has been spread throughout the town. My father tried to calm the situation.
He met Gaurav and tried to resolve this matter peacefully, during the talk Gaurav promised my father to do business peacefully and not to threaten anyone.
But who would have thought that when my Father was leaving his house he will backstab my father, in that attack my father was saved by his closest ally but that ally died in Gaurav's house while making sure my father left safely.
My father was also left there on the brink of death.
Once people in the town got to know this, many people directly left the town, some become subordinate to that Gaurav.
This is not the worst situation, the worst came the next month when that Gaurav spread his wings fully and capture the complete town.
Then his tyranny came to be known by everyone. But no one was able to do anything to him."
Everyone becomes silent after that.
After some time Noah asked, "What happened to your father, although he lost his one ally but should have other backhands to handle Gaurav?"
"True my father has and he even tried to fight with Gaurav but who knows that Gaurav has already bought most of my father's people, so when the time came it become one-sided and he has been captured by Gaurav."
"It's easy to dodge the arrow from the light than in dark," Greg said
"What about you, how are you still able to move freely in the town," Noah asked
"What do you mean by that, you want me to get captured by them?" Shelley asked in anger.
"No no, I didn't mean that." Noah tried to correct him.
"Hmm, I know that you are not a good person either." Shelley cut Noah's sentence in between and said.
"Miss Shelley you misunderstood Noah, what he was trying to say since Gaurav captured your father why would he not capture you at the time itself but will wait till now."
"Since you have asked Uncle Greg I will tell you, I was not in the Jing town year ago, I have gone to another town for some business," Shelley said
Before Noah asked something Shelley continued.
"Last month only I came back and got to know this so from last month I am trying to gather info about my father and what happened last year."
"Why didn't take help from the police or local authorities," Noah asked in confusion.
This time it was Shelley who turned to be shocked by Noah's question.
Seeing the confusion in both of them, Greg knows this and replied.
"Shelley no need to be shocked, it was Noah's first time to come to any town, before this he has never left the village so didn't know much about the outside world."
Shelley nodded in understanding.
"Noah it is not Shelley didn't ask for help from govt. or like but I believe she can't." Greg said
"Yes, what Uncle said is true," Shelley said
"If it was before the war 15 years ago then we can ask govt. help but now that system is completely broken and it still has not been established at the previous level. There is no central govt to take charge many local independent govt have been established and we don't know what their main motive is.
So if something happened no one goes to this govt. for help. Maybe they are involved in those incidents and it will be like to deliver yourself a wolf den." Shelley added
"You mean to say someone is behind Gaurav," Greg asked
"Isn't it, if not how can that idiot pervert do all of this?" Shelley said with a disgusted face.
"Do you know who that person is?" Noah asked
"In the last month, I have tried many ways and only came to know that some wolf gang from Kerel city is anything else I don't know," Shelley said.
"Oh, it's like this," Greg exclaimed.
Shelley asked in surprise "Do you know the wolf gang?"
Noah gave a brief about why they came to Jing town.
