53 Misunderstanding after Misunderstandings (1/2)
The gang was stumped because they never really had the expertise with tracking and stuff. All they know is that the Unkillable Rats guarantees an easy life for delinquents like them.
Crimes they committed would easily be forgotten by society as long as it does not stray from the will of the boss.
”Vice Grappler, where are we supposed to look?” The fanboy asked Grappler with worry. He was new to the group but it was a known fact that bad things happen to those who failed with their assigned task.
'I don't know as well...' Grappler was also stumped and blurted out in his thoughts. Given his superiority syndrome and years of experience in the gang, he just passed the problem to his subordinates. ”Tsk! All of you should know what to do. Do not expect a leader like me to feed the answer in your mouth! Get to work and learn to be independent but always keep the will of the boss on top.”
Grappler commended his strong words and his imagination was running wild with praising each other for their genius. His smile was subconsciously showing and gave the senior members the urge to punch him directly
'Why is this guy acting so smug? That was clearly a copy of what the boss says when he is angry.' They secretly admonished in their heads while holding back the urge to punch the guy. The timing was not right and even if they did punch him, they would not have any leverage and would only be beaten up by Grappler afterward.
The entire group was truly stumped with the girls being gone and had an awkward five minutes where they did nothing and just stood in place.
To break the silence, the slightly investigative delinquent with his metal rod said. ”I am nor a detective but could it be that the city lord intervened? The man is said to be related to the girls after all. You know, the Greene family has green hair and the five siblings have green hair as well.”
'I never even thought about that and this guy figured it out within an instant.' Grappler formed a connection in his head and had a realization. He felt the guy's words to be true and commended. ”You are really smart, brother! You should be in our gang's adviser division for how smart you are. Of course, I made that realization earlier and wanted for some of you to have the spine and wit to blurt it out loud.”
The muscle bloke also found the chance to increase his intelligent image to the crowd of delinquents. The fanboy's eyes shown like he was looking at a true genius while the intellectual and senior ones felt the urge to puke.
The intellectual dude spoke up and said in sarcasm. ”Vice Grappler, it is already known by almost everyone in town that they are relatives. How come your genius mind only made the realization now? Is it because your brain and your muscle were not in sync when the news was being disseminated in the city?”
”Ehm! You... are somewhat... correct! The pain in my arm must have rendered my brainpower to be damaged a bit and made me forgot such crucial information.” Grappler made a quick and force rebuttal and flexed his muscles. ”Haha! My memory would be powered up if I work out some more. After all, the bigger the muscle, the smarter one becomes.”
It was back again to the fanboy's praise and senior member's disdaining thoughts.
Aster did not linger on to spy on their pointless banter and directed his senses to focus on an entourage just a bit farther away from the old house. He smirked while making a comment for the girls to hear. ”This must be the mastermind behind this whole play.”
They were busy with enjoying the gang show but his words and the direction that he looked at made them realized what he meant. The triplets still had weak cultivation, so they had no idea what the entourage was saying but anyone with eyes could still see the noble entourage and their unnatural pause in the middle of the road. Kamryn was not saved from the problem because her heightened senses were still limited, so her sense of hearing could only allow her to hear inaudible noises.
Since they could not play the spy, they turned their attention back to the Unkillable Rats and their ramblings. Their current capability to listen in but not be notice made them feel empowered. It also made them realize the fearfulness of unknown snoopers.
One can never know when another person knows everything you do and the things they know might just be used against you in the future. Spies and information agencies might have perfected this method and would know what everybody in the world is doing.
Aster was still focused on the noble entourage and what they were saying this entire time.
There were frankly five people wearing expensive silk clothing.
Four of them were clearly servants of a young man. They all stood out because of the dirty white theme that seemed to just make them quite a catch in the eyes of onlookers.
”What is taking those scums so long with their threats?” The young man asked in annoyance while his brows twitched along. ”Isn't the plan just to drag the girls out of their home while I beat them all up? Don't tell me they are having fun with those girls already.”
Aster, who heard his words from afar, put a death flag on the shitty guy. He was also feeling quite lenient on the Unkillable Rats due to their comedic idiocy but those lines just made them plunge back to his kill list. 'I have never really killed a person in my life and only the Garth bird was close to death but there is always a first time for everything.'
An old servant knew of their young master's short temper and could only take action before things go out of hand. ”Don't be angry, young master Alcor! I will head along and check. If they did not go along with the agreement, they would face the wrath of their bosses and our household, the Dren family.”
”Are you nuts? If you go there like you own the place, those girls will know what is going on and the young master's plan would mean nothing.” Another servant advised against it. He also thought to do so but seeing that one had already come up with it, the alternative would be to become the smarter one.
