Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 552: Edging

“Ah so that was the foul smell that I smelt earlier when I came here,” said Lyon before he courted their attention.

“Yes indeed,” said Hezar. “It makes matter easier now that you know the situation.”

“I thought that Heaven is a place of green, beautiful, and full of exotic fragrance, however, it seems like I was wrong. It’s the same as the Mortal World, they have the smell of Iron too,” Lyon smiled.

“What are you getting at?” said Hezar as he furrowed his eyebrows.

“What I’m getting at will depend on you,” said Lyon. “Do you want to release them or should I liberate them.”

The stubborn Carius made a slight smile (This reckless fool, sometimes the world needs a person like him)

(An ultimatum!) thought the matriarch before she let out a smile under her veil.

Hezar shook his head, “They are all killers, releasing them would be not right? Is it not?”

“Releasing them? You didn’t even apprehend them at all, they are as free to do as they pleased,” said Lyon as he pointed at the three of them. “Pretty suspicious don’t you think?”

The onlookers silently nodded. They didn’t see any handcuff or some sort of restraining element either. The three of them were ‘free’.

Hezar opened his mouth before Lyon cut his word short.

“I’ve also heard that Ivy ranked eleventh in the last tournament, not that it has anything to do with kidnapping her matriarch, though,” said Lyon with a smile.

Hezar was furrowing his eyebrows with his eyes sharpened. (This guy!).

“I’m afraid we are a bit off-trail here, let’s end our conversation here,” said Hezar. (Dwelling into this matter would serve nothing but my own defeat, this young man is too mysterious for me to act rashly. Especially that smirk on his face is that an act or have I already being ‘checked’ on the board) he turned around.

Carius opened his eyes with a smile on his face (This young man is not bad, he is hitting the core of the problem with a smile on his face, what a bluff, however, the situation is not going well, we are still powerless against his authority).

“End it here?” Lyon smiled. “What are you, afraid?”

“What?” Hezar turned around with a glare. “Young man, there is a point where you should stop aggravating.”

He immediately put immense pressure surrounding Lyon’s figure. Any normal cultivator would have crumbled to the ground but Lyon made the former furrow his eyebrows in confusion.

“Want me to peel it off?” muttered Lyon.

“What?” Hezar muttered.

“These three figures are prominent figures in Mortal World, their presence alone becomes the balance in that place. However, why would they kill anyone in Heaven, not to mention altogether? If it were two of them and framing one I would still believe you but three of them killing a bunch of people guarding the tower? Risking of offending your force? Quite foolish for those who sit at the highest order in the Mortal World don’t you think?”

Lyon opened his arms as he struck his logical expression against him. The onlookers secretly nodded in agreement. There was no apparent reason for them to kill the guards guarding the link of Heaven and Mortal World and risking offending Heaven.

“Who is he?” muttered Verdu as he shook his head. The bravest and the foolish were only a jump away and he couldn’t decide which one was Lyon at.

(He is laying it open) thought the matriarch.

“I like him,” said Tael as he grinned before he laugh.

Hezar crossed his arms, “We do not know what their intention is, sadly.”

“The question is, we do not know what your intention is,” said Lyon as he smirked. “You did ask about my father, are you going to kidnapped him too if I were to tell you where he is?”

Hezar feigned ignorance, “Please don’t misjudge me.”

“I didn’t, it is justified. However, I do pity you, I must say that because you are stuck with this job from your higher ups and don’t expect me to be around,” said Lyon.

“Don’t say things that you will regret later on, young man,” said Hezar.

“Alright, alright,” said Lyon as he raised his hand in defeat. “Old men, I hope you take care of the beauty for me haha!” said Lyon before he turned around and waved goodbye.

The conversation ended abruptly and Hezar’s veins almost popped out of his forehead. He had never been played like that by a haughty kid, especially a kid from the Mortal World. It was like his pride being spat upon twice.

“See ya at the main event,” said Lyon before he left the colosseum with an echoing laugh from Kesya following his trail.

“Hahaha!” Carius suddenly laughed.

“Wowowo, are you alright Carius?” asked Tael, he rarely saw him laugh.

The matriarch was looking at the patriarch of the Arunga Clan with concern too.

“Hey don’t laugh!” said one of the soldiers.

“I’m alright, but Hezar isn’t hahaha!” said Carius.

Porealus blinked in disbelief even he rarely saw his own grandfather laugh so merrily. His day would have brightened a little if he saw him like that most of the days.

“Who is that young man?!” Hezar turned around before asking the three of them.

“He told you didn’t he, Cecile’s husband,” answered the matriarch.

Hezar approached her as the soldier made his way. His glaring eyes were chilling but not as cold as the matriarch. “He seems to be so keen on you.”

The matriarch didn’t answer since even she had not met him before this day.

“S-Sir, should we pass him?” said one of the host assistants.

“Of course let him in! We must act accordingly to the rule,” said Hezar as he realized the onlookers were still present. (If he lives to see the day that is hahaha!) Hezar laughed inwardly.

“Let’s go!” Hezar leaped and left the place before the others followed him.

Ivy and the others watched the leaders of their houses left surrounded by the soldiers.

“Let’s go back to the inn father,” said Zet before he turned around.

Verdu raised both of his eyebrows. (I thought he would feel a bit furious after what happened).

“Isn’t big brother amazing? He even made that guy angry with mere words, I feel a lot better after he did that, haha!” said Zet before he put his hands behind his head as he walked like a certain individual.

Verdu smiled wryly, “I wonder if he is a good influence or a bad one.”
