chapter 24

"Uncle Jake, what do you think are they dealing with inside. I think it will not be something normal as that person who saved us doesn't look ordinary at all.", Jaya strolled near the warehouse gate as she talked to the middle-aged man walking behind her.

He was more alert than her she has found traces of people hiding in the surrounding.

"Young miss, I can't understand why you have asked that person to lead us outside the city. As we not in any danger anymore, but did you see that person among them, he seems to be familiar."

"You are right uncle Jake he is not just familiar he is general Agnar's grandson, Robert. For some years he has left his clan area, there was some news that he was removed from the clan, but looks like we need to reevaluate this person, he is far smarter than anyone thought. His sister is a scholar in the military, and he seems to have built his power here."

"Do you think he is the one we are searching for?", Jake asked Jaya in a hushed voice that no one other than them can hear. Their motive for coming here is a secret which not even many people in the clan know.

"No uncle, he is just a coincidence, I have already found whom we are searching for now I just need to keep a watch on him for some time, but we need to do everything as soon as possible."

While they were discussing these matters Arther and others exited the warehouse.

After discussing the time to finalize the deal and payment and place, Arther left with Jaya and Jake.

They ran for few minutes before reaching the borders of the city and suburbs.

"From here start the suburbs, you are safe from her. Now give me the stone I am already in hurry.", Arther stopped on the soil path and talked with a bit of impatience. He always felt something wrong from the eyes of the middle-aged man on the way here. If not for the need of the energy stone he would have left them a long time ago. He also didn't want these people to know about his home and family as they might have some ulterior motives after seeing his interest in the stone.

"Sure, you will get what I promised but don't you think it's rude to not even introduce yourself first. Let me introduce myself first.", Jaya spoke to break the silence between them. She wanted to find a chance to know about this person due to what she knew.

After speaking she removed her hood and exposed her face, her face had a touch of brightness in the moonlight like a fairy. "Hello, myself Jaya and this is my uncle Jake.", she smiled at Arther as she introduced herself. She didn't expose her complete identity as she didn't like to.

Seeing the beautiful face Arther was dazed for a moment, after hearing her name he felt something familiar but he didn't remember anything so he didn't think much about it and shook hands with her he introduced himself, "Hello, I am Arther".

After introducing each other Jaya didn't waste much of his time and gave him the stone and left to the opposite way Arther went. Arther went around the suburban area for some time to see if anyone is following him. After confirming he went home happily, what Arther didn't know was a certain someone was closely following him as he went home.

At home, Arther climbed up from the window of his room. After an unsteady night, Arther was not in the condition to think about anything, he decided to take a look at the stone tomorrow, so he went to bed after getting fresh. It was early morning till he reached home, a few hours after he slept his mother woke up for doing her daily work. She had the habit of waking up early.

Slowly the suburbs started getting busy with people's activity, but the city was not silent at this time. The things that happened yesterday night in the black market and on the streets have reached the ears of the higher-ups and the young man and his father too.

In a villa in a colony of riches near the city center, it was a huge three-story villa with many rooms, an open swimming pool. This colony is the place for residence if many important and famous riches in the city. This villa belonged to the richest person in the city, the owner of BB business company.

Inside one of the rooms in the villa's second floor, it was a study room with luxurious decorations, it had a red carpet laid on the floor, with a huge curved study wooden study table opposite to the door. On the other side of the table was a leather dark red office chair, at this moment there was a middle-aged man in his 50's with white hair, authority aura, sharp eyes, with a clean shaved face was sitting on it. He is the father of the young man in the auction, the young man was standing in front of him, with his head bowed down. However arrogant he acted outside he didn't dare to speak a word in front of his father.

No one knew his father better than him, for the business and profit his father can do anything. Even kill his son. For all rich family's like them killing someone was not new. But today he was very afraid as he has failed to complete the work his father has asked him to do and has even got many of their men injured and paid a huge loss to keep the police and black market quiet. But received nothing in return. More than that his father is not in a good mood for the last few days since the meeting of higher-ups and lockdown, he also felt something huge has happened and his father is hiding something from him but he didn't dare to ask.

Behind his father stood a young girl with a tight office shirt and skirt which well defined her curves, she was his father's assistant. But not of the ordinary type, she is a well-trained killer, assassin, and can do anything his father asks her to do.
