Chapter 129 - The Old Mans Friend (1/2)

Mein arrogantly scoffed, ”Because I am the one holding power here. It is I who have the home ground advantage. I have Aurora Phoenix to assist me. All the people you killed were weaklings, the ones next to me can even qualify as Supreme Direct Subordinates. The enemies you face will only get stronger and stronger! Not to mention you are a measly…ehm what was is it? 74? The woman who sleans my toes has a higher level than you!”

”He also killed one of our people,” chimed in Shaniqwa, desperately trying to get attention away from her. Her sweating had not reduced, not in the slightest. It had actually gotten worse. She felt as if she was the target of Death's Messengers. Anxiety and fear plagued her mind. In her eyes, Will wasn't simply a young man dragging corpses. He was the devil himself dragging demons behind him. She knew that this was an illusion, but some part of her primal prime could not help but believe this image in front of her. The closer Will got the worse her condition got, thus she had decided to use this opportunity to escape from Will by having attention drawn to him.

Rhino grimaced and bellowed, ”That's right, you killed the old man!”

Will looked at Aurora and asked, ”Are you sure that you are the dimensional traveler's owner?”

Aurora retorted, ”I am his friend.”

Will then said, ”Because he was an assassin who learned of a water type treasure I had. The treasure's value is incalculable as it assists water type users with their leveling. I assume the order to kill me was sent by you then?”

Rhino shouted, ”No, she did not. If he acted, he acted by himself. But still, you have no evidence-” Aurora touched her shoulder and shook her head.

The old man was a well-known assassin and thief. He only joined her banner due to the benefits he thought he would gain. Aurora had no doubt of that. Rhino was aware of what she meant. She stopped herself and calmed down.

Aurora looked at Will, ”My apologies, his mission was only to observe and report. I did not ask him to kill you. Once we have you captured, I will lessen the restraints on you to make life easier as an apology.”

”Unfortunately that is an apology I can't afford to buy. But there is no need to apologize, I fought Old Man Mu and killed him myself.”

Before Aurora and Co could react to this dynamite like news, Mein's irritating voice sounded out.

”Madam, you wouldn't happen to know about this treasure? I am a water type cultivator myself, so this is interesting to me,” said Mein to Aurora.
