Chapter 299 -299 – Problem Back Home [ Part 2 ]

“After that, I don’t really remember what happened.”

“I felt burning pain all over my body and at the same time felt nothing at all.” Jacob said, remembering the white flashy moments, “I have a vague memory of being carried around by the guards then being moved around by the doctors and then checked on by multiple machines.”

“Finally after all that, I came to this, where I am useless for who knows how long.” Jacob sighed.

I pat his shoulder, “Don’t worry about being useless, Jacob.”

Jacob smiled and was about to say something nice back but I wasn’t finished.

“You were always useless to me anyway; this is just a new trend to finalize that point.”

Jacob looked blankly at me, “If this is you trying to cheer me up… don’t.”

I laugh, “At least you didn’t lose your sense of humor, the doctors told me your balls are fine as well.”

“What!” Jacob almost jerked open, “Why are you talking about my balls? Did the doctor say something about that? Is there any threat over my balls?!”

I look palely at the guy, ‘With that face of yours, it’s not sure whether you’ll be able to get laid in the future at all and this guy worries about his balls.’

‘Though truth be told, I would have worried the same if it was me.’

I give him an average level pat as he felt pain and stopped worrying.

“Stop talking about your balls, it’s still the below average state it was before, nothing’s changed. Tell me about the problem more.”

Jacob ignored the below average part professionally, “What else do you wanna know about?”

“What did that guy look like? Is he someone we had trouble before or what about this son of his that you killed?”

“Well he was the same size as me and had a decent look… if you would ignore the sleepless eyes and angry state he was. Otherwise he would look like a normal village guy.”

“And about me killing his son.” Jacob shook his head, “I don’t know anything about that. I don’t remember killing anyone’s son and the guy was not that old for his son to even be over 8 or 9 years old.”

I nod, taking that matter carefully in mind, “And what about his accomplices, are they dead? Is there more of them and were you actually their target or was it someone else?”

“You’re gonna have to ask Raven about that. I don’t know anything more than what I just told you.” Jacob said and tried to move his hand up but couldn’t, “As you can see, I can’t do anything here at all.”

“Okay I will.” I get up and was about to leave when I stopped. I turn around and look back at Jacob, “Was this after or before the bombing?”

“You left two months ago so its befor-”

“No, the crystal cart stealing.” I ask, “Was it stolen before or after the explosion?”

“…Before” He said avoiding my eyes as I sighed.

“Jacob…”

“I know. I wanted to tell you but with the bombing and other matters, I didn’t think of telling you.”

I nod slowly, “Alright, you did your best. Rest now and in the future don’t dive into someone who’s ready to kamikaze, alright.”

“You sure you’re not giving me the opposite advice?” He joked.

I responded while leaving, “Only after you pay me back what you own me.”

As I left the hospital wing, a thought came to me.

‘The crystal cart that was stolen… I think that was going to be delivered to Kay Gon for business.’

‘Did not getting that cart somehow made him doubt me and in turn, made him turn against me?’

‘Was that his reason for joining with Seisimo?’

‘If that’s so, I don’t know if I should take the cart robbery as a blessing or curse.’

I go towards the south side of my property and find a large building with blue painting and a cross sign hung up.

This was the security building where matters related to security, investigation, interrogation, torture and a few other related matters occurs. It also worked in terms of hiring people and checking their background.

I go inside to find a lot of people working in desks or getting orders by group leaders. They were mostly talking about increasing security and heightening the guards around the Screeching Villa.

Probably because of what happened to Jacob.

I go to one of the people who was giving orders. Seeing me coming the guy stopped what he was doing and immediately saluted me.

“Sir!”

“At ease.” The soldier relaxed, “Where’s Raven?”

“He’s in the second floor meeting room with some captains.”

“Alright, continue what you were doing.” I walk away as he saluted again.

A few new guards may not recognize me but the older captains do and the fear and respect for me oozed out of their body.

I go up the second floor and see a big cube like room with ‘Meeting’ labeled outside the door. I don’t knock or anything and walk inside to find them talking about the matter.

“We should attack them while we still have the advantage.”

“No, we can’t attack them unknowingly without knowing if they’re really connected or not.”

“I believe we should find a peaceful way out of this.”

I wasn’t even in here for a full second and I hear three different pathways from three people.

Raven seeing it was me, stood up and immediately called the others, “Attention Everyone!”

Everyone who was seated looked at where Raven looked and seeing me, they stood up and saluted too. All the captains here, both wolf and human one knew, who I am.

All the faces here were relatively known to me and especially four of them. The one at the leader seat, Raven, then Braket, Haylum and Oleya.

Surprising thing was that Oleya didn’t have a seat before but she was on her way to one. It seems she finally found the recognition she was searching for.

And ironically it was also those three that were arguing with their different thoughts.

“Sir!” They all said in unison as I nod and sit on the last seat there was.

“Sir, you should seat her-”

I stop him with one lazy hand, “It’s okay, sit and just continue as if I wasn’t here.”

I said that and they sat but none of them could ignore that I wasn’t here. Only the three that were arguing before could continue as they did.

“As I said Haylum, your idea is too aggressive.” Oleya spoke, “We can’t just pick people up who could be innocent.”

“And how is that possible! We know that the attacker is from that village, so we should just burn down that village and remove the problem.”

“Even if that was a choice…” Braket, the second in command after Raven said, “We need to think about the crystals they stole. We have to get them back.”

“We can do that after we kill the-”

They continued arguing a bit longer before Raven saw that this was ineffective and stopped the meeting there. All of captains and leaders left giving me their individual greetings before only Raven and I were here.

As the door closed, I sat opposite to a frowning Raven.

“So Raven… how did you let everything go to hell?”
