Chapter 751: Old Partner (2/2)

After the last team attacked him with the meteor, he didn't make much fuss, he just gave the complaint to the city guard office and left the city when all the inns refused him.

From then on, he rarely came into the city. There is little for us to suspect his direct action in the killing of the two officials.”

”Well, we also suspect that he is the one that killed them. Our main target is the person behind him. We had some intel that the last team was swept by that person in the background and even the officials might be his actions.

So, our main target is that guy, but we cannot wait for him to eventually come to us. We decided to use Sam to get him out.

The factory that he built is something mysterious. It was bought by the One-star Military unit. So, we only have until they took over.

Our people in Planet 1 will halt them from coming over for a week and this is the interval in which we could deal with him.

So, get me the info of that area and how it is built.”

”I will give it to you by tomorrow afternoon. Where is your team stationed? I will send the details over there.”

”There is no need. Someone would come here and get the details from you.”

The man stood up and proceeded to leave, when Ragad also stood up to send him off, he gestured him to stop and left alone.

As he looked at the leaving person, Ragad clenched his fists and spoke to himself.

”When will I be able to join the cloaked forces? I am just a step away every time I tried. Maybe I should use this opportunity to build some connections and try to get in.”

He then looked at the picture on the desk.

It is a picture of Sam.

”My dear business partner. Not only did you give me enough merits with your businesses, you even gave some money for me, and even when you are dying you are going to help me get into my dream force. You seem to be my lucky charm.”

”I wouldn't be so sure about that.”

A low voice and a cold breath hit Ragad's nape which made his blood run cold.

After a momentary daze, he jumped forward and fell on the ground while sweating profusely. He looked at Sam who is in a cloaked dress.

He suddenly had a premonition and was about to take something out of his spatial ring.

A metallic card suddenly hit him on the shoulder and made him stop his actions.

”I wouldn't do such a stupid thing if I were you.”

Ragad tried to calm himself down and asked in a shivering voice.

”Who are you?”

”The one you guys wanted to pull out desperately.”

”What are you talking about?” Ragad wanted to play dumb.

”Please, do you really think I am here to gather evidence against you? I don't give a shit about the laws here. If I want someone dead, I will kill them myself.”

”Why are you here? If this is about the conversation before. I have nothing personal against you. It is just me following orders. So, it is useless even if you kill me.”

”Really? Then it would be immoral of me to kill you for what you did under forced circumstances right?” Sam said in a genuinely confused and hesitant voice. When Ragad heard this, he didn't want to believe that Sam is this dumb, but his fear for life made him think of an unrealistic possibility that this killer might be that naïve.

Seeing the constantly changing expressions on Ragad's face made Sam almost laugh out loud.

He removed the cloak on his face and Ragad's face lost all the color.

”You really thought that someone is that naïve? I don't care if you are forced to follow some instructions or something else. Since you are involved in this, you have to pay for that. After all, when kings battle, soldiers are the ones that suffer the most. You can only blame your luck for it.

And by the way, I am not really your lucky charm, after all, which lucky charm makes you feel the sensation of burned alive.”

And soon there are screams of agony and a burning house all over.

The red-cloaked man who just reached the gate of this small estate, could already hear the screams and the raging flames that are burning the whole place down along with Ragad.
