Chapter 241
Just as Arthur was leaving his room, a servant of the Kang Family arrived at the door’s room, he was accompanied by a familiar figure .
The servant bowed respectfully, leaving the excited Gutcha standing there . The ugly-looking pigolo immediately recognized, who stared back at him with a furrowed brow .
He didn’t expect Gutcha to come here, it’s also surprising to see him able to come here without being stopped or chased off by the guards .
“It seems your connections are wide . ”
Arthur praised the pigolo, who rubbed his hands and couldn’t contain himself .
“Hahaha boss, this is nothing… I just said I’m your servant and they immediately welcomed me hahahaha”
Arthur knew it wasn’t that easy, not just anyone could claim to be his servant and be let in, if that works then everyone would use such a simple method .
He waved his hand dismissively and said
“Now, get on with it . Why are you here?”
“A-ah! Boss! I finally found the kid!”
Finally hearing some good news, Arthur nodded and signaled for the pigolo to continue
“That boy is quite tenacious . I’ve heard that he’s been captured as a slave but managed to escape and somehow enter a sect . ”
“Which sect?”
“Water Cloud Sect . ”
Arthur grinned and waved his hand to Swain, who understood his master’s intentions . He lifted his palm and did a few hand seals which summoned a red coffin out of nowhere .
The coffin opened the second it appeared, revealing an unconscious Kai Min, the genius of the Water Cloud Sect, who was captured by Arthur when they were inside the Main Palace .
“Oh! Isn’t that the boy from t . . t-the-”
Gutcha was flabbergasted as he saw Kai Min, usually, he would look up to young masters such as Kai Min, but here he is looking at the unconscious boy, totally helpless and in a difficult position . He felt happy to see the arrogant kid suffer a bit but he was curious about how this young man was captured under the noses of the Gods protecting him .
“How is he doing?”
Gutcha shook his head in disappointment and answered
“Sadly, I couldn’t get accurate information about that . However, I’m sure he’s staying there as an Outer Disciple . ”
“What about his sister?”
Gutcha looked around, afraid of others hearing him and when he noticed Jian Si behind Arthur, his smiling froze and his body stiffened . Arthur patted his shoulders and reassured him, telling him that she’s a friend .
Although his boss said she’s just a friend, Gutcha was wary of people like her and couldn’t help but start sweating . With a low voice, he replied to Arthur:
“Unclear, a lot of sources say that she’s been to multiple places… moreover, she seems to be traveling with an old woman who is apparently a God . The last time she was seen was a fair distance from a dragon’s nest . ”
“A dragon?”
Dragons are an ancient race, feared by many due to their unimaginable strength . They live for a very long time and they usually do not interfere in matters between sects, as long as nobody angers them, they’ll remain passive .
“Yes, that’s the other matter I wanted to inform you about . The nest belongs to a Spatial Dragon, It’s one of the types of Geo Dragons . I’ve heard that it’s injured so many people go there to attempt their chance but if you ask me… it’s suicidal, Gods are nothing for fully matured dragons, they’ll just become nourishment for the beast . ”
“Is she going to the dragon nest with that old women?”
“I’m not sure, but they seem to be looking for something specific, else why would they travel to all corners of this world if not so . At first, I thought she may be looking for her brother but that’s unlikely, with the help of the old women, finding him isn’t that hard, especially when he’s in a famous sect . ”
“Any idea who that old woman might be? Or why would she travel with Lisa?”
Gutcha took out an old yellow paper with a symbol drawn on it . He handed it to Arthur and added:
“This is all I could get about that elder . She wears a robe with a symbol on it and my sources managed to, more or less, draw it . ”
Arthur took a careful look at the symbol but it wasn’t familiar at all . He showed it to Swain and Jian Si but they both were clueless too .
Seeing that no one recognized it, Gutcha spoke
“I know almost every famous sect in the Green-Leaf World, at least those who have Gods residing in them… yet none use such a symbol . ”
Arthur nodded at Gutcha and waved his hand, causing a creepy looking detonator to come out from the pigolo’s body . Gutcha was startled and didn’t dare move, afraid that he’d die, only when the detonator was absorbed in his boss’ hand did he breathe a sigh of relief .
“Since you provided me with enough information to find these two kids and helped me in my plans, you are free to go, as I have promised . ”
Not feeling the strange sensation anymore as if he was separated from Death by a thin thread that could be ruptured at any second, Gutcha felt relieved and free .
Although he was delighted to be freed from the detonator, he still wanted to work for Arthur as it was not a risky job and it’s very rewarding . The number of treasures that was given to him by his boss last time was more than he expected, it’s enough for a lifetime .
“B-boss, I still want to work for you . ”
Arthur expected such a response, so he instantly replied
“Alright, you can continue gathering information about Lisa’s whereabouts . Try to find what this symbol means too . ”
He handed the yellow paper back to Gutcha . He doesn’t need to keep it since he memorized it the moment he saw it, and the pigolo probably needs it more than he does as maybe it’s the only copy he does, or so thought Arthur .
He turned toward Jian Si and said
“You know where your Senior brother is, you should depart immediately and take him with you to your sect . I reckon it isn’t hard to get him out of there with your status, right?”
With crossed arms and an angry expression, Jian Si replied
“Hmpf! Of course . ”
Arthur motioned for her to go and departed from his room, ignoring the glare he was getting from her . Gutcha took Kai Min and left right after, which only left Swain accompanying Arthur .
“Master, be careful, Kang Amidel knows about your true identity . ”
Arthur was going to meet the head of the Kang Family since the latter wanted to privately talk with him for quite some time, he was just occupied with the incoming catastrophe .
Swain said that he could see the shadow of death spreading on this land which means that one of the four Divine Beats or all of them will definitely attack this wasteland, this is a good piece of information Arthur could use if things go south .
“It doesn’t matter . We have no grudges between each other and If I’m not wrong, he’s going to request for my help . ”
Swain wasn’t convinced and didn’t think it was a good idea to trust Amidel or cooperate with him . He had met the man a few times but he would feel unusually uncomfortable around him .
“Still, please be careful . ”
Arthur looked dumbly at Swain and retorted
“What are you saying, Swain? I’m always careful . ”
Hearing his master’s words, Swain sighed and continued following Arthur while preparing himself . If worse comes to worse, he’ll do everything he could to get his master out of this place, it’s difficult but doable if he were to go all out .
’Ah! Master… I wouldn’t say you’re careful but foolishly in love, so much that you’ll choose suicidal ways to reach who you seek . ’
