Chapter 131 - False Rumors
Dror was a little confused.
"Why is she calling me, at this time..
"
Dror picked up the call either way and a 3d projection of a beautiful young girl in blue dress appeared.
" Hello, big brother Dror…
"
laurel spoke with a charming smile.
" Hello, Is there anything urgent…
"
Laurel showed a dissatisfied expression
" No pleasantries, no what's up or how are you… Big brother you will really find it difficult to get a girlfriend..
"
"Ahem, hello, how are you beautiful Laurel, what's up..
"
Laurel was a little angry at the hypocrisy but she continued.
" You are really good, big brother Dror, you dealt such a big blow to the Lomba family, without any of us from the mission noticing anything… but things are going to get very nasty now, so you better be prepared..
"
Dror was really confused; he didn't know what she was referring to.
" I don't know what you are talking about.
"
Laurel had a surprised look on her face,
" what do you mean by you don't know, You were the one who tortured the pig head aziz and killed him, to get the whereabouts of mike Lomba.
Then you sneaked into the Lomba mansion to kill him and ended up only dealing a fatal blow before running away..
"
Dror was more shocked, this was news for him too, he thought to himself
" That is weird, what is the lomba family playing at, I need to get more details..
"
"Ahem, Laurel can you give me some more details..
"
Laurel had a weird look on her face, she was thinking
" This guy is really weird, he does something so terrible and pretends as if nothing happened…
"
" The Lomba family has been really enraged this time, they have organized more than 60% of their manpower on a manhunt for you, they are also rewarding any one who has information on you with a handsome reward… But there is something weird for some reason they want to catch you alive, maybe they want to torture or make an example out of you before executing you….. any way it is better that you don't leave the earth base for any reason, my master has specifically asked me to warn you..
"
Dror was really confused about this whole matter, he knew something was really going on in the background but was unable to pinpoint what it was in a little time.
So after talking with Laurel for some more time , he ordered another bottle of Rum.
At the same time inside Lomba mansion, Manual Lomba was sitting on the seat of honor with another middle aged man very similar in appearance to Manual sitting beside him and Maxwell standing beside Manual.
The middle aged man had similar green eyes to that of Manual, he was Manual's younger brother Mathias and the current strongest person in the Lomba family.
Mathias was already in the seventh level of the supreme warrior realm two levels higher than Manual.
He usually stayed in seclusion while practicing and cultivating, but ever since the incident at the brothel, Manual had asked for his opinion on the whole situation as Mathias was a low grade Earth elemental body and has been cultivating the Earth elemental arts for years.
At first Mathias had been dissatisfied to be summoned out of his cultivation and practice, but after checking the area of incident, the brothel building.
He became more exhilarated, he had never come across such pure earth elemental energy, the person who could utilize such energy should have a cultivation above the Legendary level or higher.
But if someone of that caliber were to use their energy like this there would be a portion of their own personal aura left behind.
But this elemental essence clearly didn't come from such a source as, this energy was too pure and didn't contain any aura and the essence energy itself lasted this long without dispersing into the surrounding.
Mathias knew that this might be a very high level artifact or treasure, and if he was to get possession of something like that, entering the legendary realm would not be a distant dream.
To boot it all this treasure was in the possession of someone only in the true warrior realm, nothing but a weakling in front of someone like him in the seventh level of the supreme warrior realm.
Mathias has discussed the matter with his big brother Manual, the current head of the Lomba family.
They knew that they couldn't let this news go out at any cost because among the 7 families controlling the Alliance government they were at best at fourth place and if the other families got wind of the matter not even the weakest of them would hold back from making a move.
So Maxwell had come up with the idea of spreading the lie that Dror had somehow managed to sneak into the Lomba mansion and take revenge on Mike, even though Mike didn't die he was very badly hurt. Then the Lomba family has organized more than 60% of their manpower and resources to hunt down their enemy.
Any one who knew the attitude of the Lomba family knew they were the kind of people who went to all out war even on simple things, much less something like this.
Due to this the other families also didn't pay much attention to the matter.
But the Lomba family was also troubled by the fact that Dror's whereabouts could not be found, they even summoned a famous astrologer to find his whereabouts, but the astrologer could only predict that the person in question was hidden by some powerful formation making it unable to pinpoint the location.
The rebel bases had strived through all kinds of situations not just by their strength, but also by having powerful formations around them which could disrupt anyone that tried to pry into their whereabouts, with similar methods.
So as long as Dror was inside the rebel base it was close to impossible for the Lomba family to track him down, much less do anything else.
But the astrologer was not completely useless as he predicted that Dror could appear to the north of Tarnish city after 10 days.
The Lomba family with their greed was not going to wait for 10 days; they had sent their men toward the north waiting and searching for any clues.
Manual was very displeased with the fact that the subordinate had come to report there was no progress with their operation
.
" Get out and don't come back if there is no progress… These good for nothing's.
"
Manual yelled at the subordinate.
" Calm down big brother, you shouldn't get agitated about these minor matters…
"
Manual was not consoled by Mathias's words.
" how can I calm down, if these good for nothing's called my subordinates, had done their duty properly, that treasure and that bastard would have already been in our hands… They think that I don't know their underhanded dealings throughout the city, which led to the rebels roaming the city undetected… maybe I should make an example out of these corrupted rascals so that something like this would not happen again...
"
Mathias could only sigh in his mind
" What corruption, you speak as if all of us are some kind of saints… The Alliance government and its leaders are corrupted to the core, how can you expect anything good from the lower official's ….hah
"
But Mathias didn't speak any of it out of fear for his big brother, even though his cultivation was higher than the big brother, his big brother was like a father figure to him and he would go to any length for his big brother.
It was Maxwell who spoke out
" Father uncle is right this not the right time to get agitated, remember what the Mr. Musin said, the barbarian has a good chance of appearing in the north after 10 day, It has already been 5 days we just need to wait for 5 more days..
"
Mr . Musin was a formation master in the second grade. Every formation master was also good at fortune telling and prediction, they should have a good grasp of astrology before becoming a formation master.
Some of the formation masters even focused on astrology more than formation making itself and Mr. Musin was one of them, he was very well known on planet Ayangdad as an ace astrologer.
Maxwell continued
" and you don't need to worry this time father, I have specifically arranged for detective Harman to handle the affairs this time… you should know how good his nose is at sniffing out, I am very optimistic about the outcome..
"
Detective Harman was not any ordinary man, but a dog athropomorph in the true warrior realm and for that reason he was very good at finding the tiniest clues with his different senses.
But for some reason this person had a special frame of mind, he had been given the chance of promotion many times but still chose to remain a detective.
At times he won't even take on cases that he didn't deem interesting in his eyes, but this time the whole Lomba family was forcing him and he didn't have a choice.
