Chapter 145 - The Search (2/2)

”For the Wallace family to send four Nascent soul realm practitioners over show how important this matter is to them” mutter the family head with a frown on his face.

”Let's just hope they don't suspect we have a hand in it” commented the grand elder as he appear inside the hall.

The family head was not surprised to see the grand elder in the hall as he has already suspected that he has been in the hall since the guest from the Wallace family's arrival.

”Seem like the Phoenix family really did it this time around” said the family head.

”I hope he would be able to shoulder the consequences for it” replied the grand elder with a sigh.

Just as they were speaking, the door to the hall was pushed open once more with elder Luke rushing in with a worried look on his face while the guests followed from behind.

”How did the search go, did she turn out to be the one you are looking for” asked the family head when seeing the look on elder Luke.

”That is not it when we got there, we discover that the place was deserted” replied elder Luke.

There was a little silence in the hall before the grand elder spoke up angrily.

”I am really disappointed with you people even after I have told you all about tightening the defenses, you still let them leave the territory with knowing. So if those from the phoenix decided to come in, they would have succeeded”.

”This came as a surprise to us too grand elder, just as you instructed we double the defense” replied the family head.

”You don't have to worry about that since they wouldn't have gone too far from here” said Berry as he didn't wait for anyone to speak up before leading his team out of the hall.

After leaving the hall, Alex turn to berry as he asked.

”Now that they are not here, what should be our next move”.

”The only place that is closer to the Fox family territory is Carpie town, so that is recently the best place for us to start the search” reply Berry.

”Ah, now this whole thing is becoming really annoying” said Alex as he let out a sigh.

”Don't worry, I believe Berry would let you have your way with them once we capture them right Berry” asked Wilson with a smile.

”Sure thing if it is enough to compensate you for the time wasted but first thing first, let head to Carpie town” replied Berry.

And before long they have already made their way out of the Fox family territory. Meanwhile, inside the hall, the family head suddenly let out a sigh.

”Thank goodness they didn't suspect anything” said the family head.

”They still wouldn't have done anything since they are not completely sure about our involvement” reply the grand elder.

”Wait a minute, you mean you knew all along that they have left the territory” asked elder Luke after hearing the two conversations.

”Yes and if you must know I was the one that informed him of the danger” replied the grand elder with a nod.

”I am truly sorry for not informing you all about it since it wouldn't have pulled through if you were to know” added the family head.

”We understand your reason” said elder Luke.

”Let me make this clear, this matter was said here and should die here. If anyone comes to know of it, then you have to pay the price with your head” commented the grand elder with a serious look on his eyes which sent a chill down their spine showing how serious he is about the matter.

After he was done saying those statements, the grand elder took his leave as he stared at the sky for some time before letting out a sigh.

”I have done my best, the rest in your hand now” mutter the grand elder before going to the alchemy room.
