129 Returning Home (2/2)

If possible, he would like to purchase a lot for himself. How he will obtain the money, well, with his powers, it shouldn't be hard at all.

Knowing that the best person who can answer his inquiry is the owner of the apartment, Elric decided to go inside and meet the person in authority.

But just when he was about to go in, his sensitive nose and hearing captured a slight but suspicious voices lingering in the area.

It might not be audible enough for the ordinary humans and Dragons to hear but to Elric's supernatural state it was as clear as the day.

Elric stopped moving amidst the busy street and focused on the faint traces of the sound from the mysterious beings.

Seconds later, he decerned where it came from and what they were.

\”These are the language of Arkhans or should I say, the most notorious Dragon hunter race.\” Elric thought as he continued listening.

He traced the faint voices and they came from the three normal-looking men on their forties who seems to be following the snobbish young man from the distance. All their eyes were glowing in cold blue, but not visible to the normal human eyes.

\”No Duck, I told you he is a Dragon. Just give me one more day. I will prove it to you guys. We are not going back without those kids as a trophy.\”

\”Oh yeah? We have been scouting those siblings for how many years now? We've seen them bleed through our carefully laid setups but what? they were bleeding nothing but human blood! HUMAN BLOOD! What kind of proof do we need? I can just castrate him right now if you want, if that will put an end to your finding Nemo journey.\”

\”Keep your voices down you two. Don't ever think we are allowed to speak in our own frequency here as freely as you think. Those cockroaches might have given us the freedom to do what we want here but we still have to be on guard against the Guardian rascals that could be watching somewhere.\”

\”You know what, you are right. Let's end this mystery chase today. Let's just grab him when we have the chance. I will be more than happy to chew him to bits and pieces before your stupid face just to prove to you he's nothing but all wasted human crap!\” The tallest one of them concluded.

The shortest one of them nodded in approval while the middle one kept quite. Neither resisting the suggestion or allowing it. His eyes are still locked at the snobbish young human who is minding his way towards the school.

The three mysterious figures continued walking calmly despite the furious tones they were hurling against each other. Their mouth barely moved as they speak but their sound was as clear as a trumpet sound to Elric's ears.

These are the special sound frequency that the secret society uses to communicate that no ordinary humans could ever hear.

Except for some selected animals with extraordinary hearing, the Dragons races, Elementals, Guardians or Arkhans, and even the Ancient Humans have their own way of communicating secretly without their cover being blown on the public. This way, they are free to communicate however they want without earning any unwanted attention.

Noticing their hostile intentions for the young human, a frown quickly drew on Elric's face.

\”Trouble, you back too soon my friend...\” Elric added with a sigh.

Looking back at the white wooden apartment where his house used to stand, Elric, heaved a sigh of relief.

As much as he wanted to do his bid, there is a human life that is about to be taken just because of some greedy Dragon Hunters suspecting the poor kid.

Especially how they treat human lives as a piece of a toy in their mouth, Elric's calm demeanor could not rest for long.

When one of them mentioned how he was more than willing to chew the young man to bits and pieces, it reminded Elric of his dark and depressing past. A memory he hates the most which could easily break the peaceful flow of his mind.

Elric could feel a surging warmth of fury boiling in his heart. It was like a huge waterfall, threatening to break open the troublesome rock of his past.

Unbeknownst to him, his steps have already turned to follow the three mysterious men.

\”Control yourself, Elric. Remember to keep a low profile dude.\” Elric mumbled softly to himself.

The crowd was still busy minding their own lives in the middle of the small city while the sun is getting brighter above him. The heat is starting to spike up.

Invisible steam crept out of the hot asphalt roads and so was the fire in Elric's eyes.

Clenching his fist in slight agitation, Elric thought to himself,

\”...One percent should be enough...\”

***

Fifteen minutes later...

The snobbish young man had entered the Community College grounds, the three men mysteriously vanished out of nowhere and, Elric's figure could not be seen as well.

The rat is about to be devoured by the cat, not knowing the Tibetan Mastiff following behind.
