Being followed

Peng Yang gathered information on Grim through his brother and his friends.

"So, you are in hiding in your room."

"I'll play the waiting game."

Peng Yang waited for Grim to come out of his room.

***

Six months later.

Grim came out of his room.

"Now, I can multiply the strength up to 50 times."

"I'm in a good mood. So, let's take a mission to celebrate."

Grim started walking toward the mission hall.

Just when he had taken two steps, he had a weird feeling.

"I feel like someone is looking at me."

He scanned his surrounding. But, he couldn't find anything suspicious. So, he resumed walking.

***

Back in the dorm.

"Phew, he almost caught me."

Shao Yang breathed a sigh of relief

He was tasked by his brother to keep an eye on Grim and report back if he saw Grim.

He had heard Grim's plan.

"I'll report this to brother immediately."

He made his way to Peng Yang's room and told everything in detail.

"So, you want to take on a mission."

"I'll make sure this will be your last. Come, Shao let's go."

Peng Yang hurried his brother.

***

Back in the mission hall.

Grim was searching through the missions.

"So, you did put up a mission old man."

He saw a mission.

{Mission: Hunt Sun Bear King, and bring its gallbladder

Location: Fiery Highlands

Duration: 30 days

Requirements: mid-evolution realm

Rewards: 500 points (assigned by Runemaster)}

"That's the old man for sure."

"I'll take this." Grim handed the scroll to Xue Ah.

She took the scroll, "Oh, it's you. You are taking this mission?"

"Why can't you take normal missions like others? Why do you have to take a dangerous mission?"

She was worried about Grim because he always kept pushing himself too hard.

Grim replied, "Thanks for worrying, Senior Xue. But, I only take missions I'm confident in."

She handed back the scroll with advice. "Here, you go. If you can't win, just run."

"Thank you, senior Xue."

He made his way out of the city.

***

When he had traveled about 50 km, he had a weird feeling.

"Why does it feel like I'm being followed"

"Heh! It must be my imagination."

He stopped for a break after traveling for 100 km.

He murmured, "I'm being followed."

"At first, I had a suspicion. Now, I'm sure about it."

He resumed his journey.

"I'll think about it in the village."

Grim reached the village by evening.

He booked a room.

He laid in bed and started recalling all the incidents that took place.

"Who would want to follow me?"

He started thinking about it.

Then, he remembered the incident from the morning.

"I felt like I was being watched in the morning. Are they connected somehow?"

More questions started popping into his mind.

"Let's think calmly."

"Who would want to harm me?"

He started recalling all the people he had offended till now.

Only two people came to his mind.

"The only people I have offended are the Yan brothers, and Peng Yang did threaten me at the competition."

"They are the only suspect I can think of."

"Very well, Yang brothers. I'll give you the test of your own medicine."

***

Grim resumed his journey the next day.

He knew he was being followed. So, he traveled slower than his usual speed.

He managed to arrive in the desert on the fourth day.

"I'll travel at my usual speed from here. I'll set a trap for them further."

Grim suddenly increased his speed and moved forward.

***

On the other side of the desert.

"Shit, he increased his speed. Did he find out?"

Peng was a bit surprised by it.

"It doesn't matter anyway, you will die by my hand soon."

"Shao, let's go."

"Ok, brother"

He made his way into the desert with his brother.

He wanted to catch Grim here because this was a great spot to get rid of him.

However, his speed had reduced by half because Shao Yan couldn't keep up.

"His destination seems to be fiery highlands. We'll catch him sooner or later."

***

On the fiery highlands.

Grim arrived in the fiery highlands in three days.

"I still have a day left before they arrive here."

"It is enough for me to set them up. I'll go find the Sun Bear king first."

He went in search of the beast.

He planned to let the Yang brothers fight Sun Bear King and finish them when they were at their weakest.
