Chapter 300: Chapter 300 – Problem Back Ho [ Part 3 ]
“How the hell did this happen, Raven?” I ask the guy.
Raven was quiet for a mont and when he was about to explain, I talk.
“I placed you in charge of security here precisely because I didn’t want sothing like this to happen. Yet, not only do I get robbed of hundreds of thousands of pound worth of crystal but even Jacob gets hospitalized with fourth degree burns.”
“I can’t wait to hear your excuse over this matter.” I stand up and walk towards him, “This isn’t just any normal accident. getting robbed and one of my top guys almost gets himself killed isn’t just bad luck.”
“It’s Downright Humiliating!” I say to his ears.
Raven quietly listened to without any excuse.
“Don’t be so quiet. Talk to … what the fuck is happening?!”
Raven sighed as he placed both hands on the table in exhaustion, “I’m sorry sir… I can’t give any excuse to you nor will I bla it on soone else.”
“You gave this heavy responsibility to soone completely unknown and trusted … I betrayed that trust. I couldn’t complete my job and I take full responsibility for Jacob’s actions as well.”
Raven stood up, “I am giving up my position and am ready to fully face my punishnt with utmost degree.” He pulled off his service badge that pointed him to be the leader and gave it to .
I look at the badge for a second before forcefully pushing the wolf down on the chair.
“Bam!”
Raven felt pain but didn’t resist, “The situation is fucked up right now and you are doing this shit to . Do you want to kill you Raven?”
“No, sir.”
“Then shove that badge up your ass and carry out your duty with 200% efficiency otherwise I would personally show you pain that you’ve never experienced, got it?”
“Yes, sir!” Raven nodded with a heavy look. He was ready to give it all up but the pain reminded him once more that there was no giving up.
It was either Henry’s way or the graveyard… if he was lucky.
“Now tell you have so information about the fuckers because I am losing my mind here.” I angrily sit down beside him.
Yes, I was calm all this ti.
But seeing my chain of command bickering like high school bitches wanting to have one pretty boy… things just got way heated for .
“We do, sir.” Raven nodded
“After Jacob’s accidental situation, the guards manage to capture two of the attackers and brought them back.”
“They were interrogated, right?”
Raven nods, “Yes, we got all that they knew.”
“So who are these fuckers?”
“They were just ordinary rcenaries.” Raven explained, “They don’t have any other connection then working for the people who hired them. One of which was the guy that blew himself up.”
“What’s their goal?”
“The rcenaries didn’t know the whole bit but they said it was to kill the owner that bought this place.” Raven said with a frown, “The ones who are the true leaders have a vendetta against you.”
I squeeze my brow at that.
From all I know, I didn’t have any vendetta with anyone… well with anyone around here.
“What else did they say?”
“They said that they were ordered to harass or rob anything that cos out of this place. Though they didn’t rob anything that had too many guards so we know that they don’t have much manpower.”
“About the people that hired them, the rcenaries said that they belonged to the village a few kiloters away from here.”
“You an that small village west from here.” I ask as Raven nodded.
“That’s the one. But those two said, only a group of people are responsible for hiring them. They don’t know their na or face as they always had them covered.”
“Still though, how many?”
“Five of them, counting the one that blew up.”
“Hmm…” I think for a mont before asking, “Were they hired after my supply of crystals were stolen?”
“Yes, sir. Do you reckon that they sold those crystals and used the money to hire this people?”
I nod, “I do… but they didn’t sell all the crystals.”
Raven connected what I was thinking, “Selling too much crystals would have brought them unnecessary attention… so they only sold enough to hire help then?”
“Yes, that is what I think.” I say and look up, “Have you brought any of the villagers here for questioning?”
“No”
“Why not?”
“…It’s a bit complicated sir.”
I raise my brow as Raven explained.
“That Village is under the protection of the Church of Divine Goddess and from our knowledge, every few months a priest or bishop cos to check on the village and bless the fields.”
“Because of the churches protection, I thought we should keep our hands away from them for the mont.”
“And that’s it? You weren’t going to take any action against the village?” I ask Raven. Did he lose his furry balls while I was away?
“No, sir. I was about to write a letter to you, gaining instruction on what to do. I didn’t necessarily want to bring the church as trouble to you.” Raven said with a serving tone.
I look at his face and thought for a mont.
‘It doesn’t seem like he’s betraying and his idea wasn’t bad either… it just felt like a pussy move but in hindsight it was technically okay.’
I stand up, “Where are the rcenaries? I want to see them.”
“Argh…” Raven stood up, his face a bit awkward, “I’m sorry, sir. But my interrogation thods were a bit rough for them… they died after a few hours.”
Instead of getting angry, I smile.
It seems Raven didn’t lose all his balls.
“Okay then, let’s go to this site where Jacob had his accident, I want to take a look at it.”
“Of course, sir.”
We get downstairs and Raven called on so armored guards for .
I stood at the stable and ca before a large reddish thoroughbred. The horse seeing imdiately ca close and neighed to .
I smile and pat her head as she snuggled close, “Hey there girl, did they treat you right while I was gone?”
“Hnggh” A deep sound ca out of her.
“Oh, they didn’t.” I pat her as she lts into my hand, “Don’t worry, I’ll skin them for this atrocity.”
anwhile, the stable hands shook in their steps hearing .
I and Sadie smile at that. She likes to joke like that.
I found Sadie in the Suifon Desert two months ago. Her rider was nowhere and she was on the ground, ready to die out of heat and thirst.
I was about to let her die out there when I felt a strange connection with her. There was just sothing about her that made her seed special to .
So I brought her back and within a month of revitalization she had completely changed.
Gone was the dying horse with hyperthyroidism, now she’s eight feet tall and her body is much more massive than before. Her change had frightened everyone into thinking she was a monster, but I knew that she was special.
I gained a companion that was different from all others, one that would race through death with .
I pull her out of her special place in the stable and lead her out, “Let’s go girl. About ti sobody took the reign back here again.”
“Hnggh!” Sadie nodded with enthusiasm.
