Chapter 283: Meetings in the Distant lands (2/2)
”It happened due to struggle with the beasts.”
She shook her head and threw the orb away as if it was worth nothing and asked.
”Where is the other one? That is the most important.” The injured man is looking at the orb which was rolling on the floor towards the corner. He didn't know what to think of the situation at all. All those people sacrificed their lives just to get this but it was disregarded.
He looked at the young lady expecting a haughty and proud face, instead, she was emotionless. He expected that she treated the lives of others as worthless, but rather she seemed completely unbothered and indifferent towards the whole concept of their lives and death.
”Where is the other one?” The young lady repeated herself again.
The captain came back to his senses and said to the head of the court.
”Sir, the Garuda King took away the other object. His subordinate beasts are the ones that are leading the horde. He said that he felt a peculiar presence in the object and took it away.”
At these words, the whole court stilled. There is extreme silence.
The Garuda King is a beast beyond the Transcendent stage. The beast king who rules a part of the domain of the Central continent.
They have a long term hatred with this Garuda king and they have tried to hunt the beast many times but to no avail.
Anything related to the best results in a war between them and the beasts.
Everyone was thinking of the threats garuda king can pose, but the young lady's words dragged them back to reality.
”I want that thing.” She directly said to the court head. She doesn't have any emotions on her face to the point it almost felt as if the woman is a robot. She didn't even consider the threat of the Garuda king.
Before the court head could reply one of the people who sat below the court head seat stood up and said.
”Little-girl, you seem delusional. Did you just say you want something that is Garuda King's possession?”
She didn't reply at all and just looked at the court head. While the person who called out was furious, he didn't dare to do say anything as the head opened his mouth.
”Dear, there will be a lot of blood that would be shed if we demand that thing. Many people will die in the war and it would be a difficult time for the whole organization.”
When the young lady, heard these words, she looked at the head and asked.
”So, what?” These words almost made the head choke to death.
”It is not beneficial to all of us.”
”But it is beneficial for me.” Her reply didn't even bother to hesitate.
The court went silent and another person in the court yelled with frustration.
”Are you telling that the thousands of soldiers who will lose lives in this war are worth less than your experiment?”
The lady looked at that person and said.
”I didn't say that…”
”Then what is the meaning of your words.”
”They mean that their lives have no worth to me at all. For me they are worthless. I want my property. It was gone due to the incompetence of your guards and servants, so you be responsible for that.” Her face didn't display any emotion at all she looked at that man.
The whole court was angered by these words.
One of them stood up and pointed a finger at her and started yelling.
”You little bitch. How dare you say those words? You are raised by the…”
*Whish* He wasn't able to finish his words.
Because at this moment, a pillar behind his seat opened and a metallic blade was shot out towards his neck.
The man evaded the attack based on his instincts but was still hit on his shoulder.
His eyes are filled with horror as tried to stop his bleeding but to no avail. He could feel his blood started warming up, but couldn't find a way to stop it.
At this moment, the young lady spoke up.
”I don't like it when people call me names.” Then she looked at the head again still emotionless and said.
”I heard someone got Murali's formation inheritance, from the records I gathered there is a high chance there is a formation simulator with him. I want that.”
With those words, she left.
Only then did one of the court attendants help the injured man and another minister spoke up.
”Sir, are you going to leave her like that? How can she behave like that, for all the things we have done for her?”
The head looked at him and sneered.
”For all the things we have done for her? It is because of the things we did for her that she became like this. I remember saying that every genius is a double-edged sword if you try to manipulate them. All these years it her who suffered, now it is us who is suffering under her.
You reap what you sow?
Ask the informers to stay alert and observe the targets, we will make a move once we observe the moves of others.”
