Heavenly Monarch - Chapter 152
After putting on the mustache, Ray became a whole new person and they decided to test the mask out by going around the place which almost got him in trouble since they were not able to recognize him.
“Please can you stop going out causing with that mask on your face” begged Ellis who have gone to clear things out with the guards that saw Ray in a different location more than five times.
“I am afraid I can’t take it off since we don’t know if I will be able to use it again once it comes off” replies Ray with a smile.
“You don’t have to worry about that since the only thing we will need to do when you take it off is to remodel your looks,” said Jenny.
“You heard the lady so take it off” added Ellis before walking out.
“And where are you going” asked Jenny.
“I am going to go talk to my father before we leave for Azure empire” replied Ellis.
Getting to his father’s courtyard, Ellis didn’t have the time to announce his arrival before he was permitted to come in by his who seen to be expecting him.
“So what do you want to talk about son” asked clan head Finn.
“We’ll be leaving morning so I came to inform you” replied Ellis.
“I know that you will be leaving soon, you don’t have to worry about your protection since commander derrick will be in charge of your safety until you reach your destination,” said clan head Finn
“Thank you father but I don’t think that would be necessary,” said Ellis with a bow.
“Nonsense, this mission is all about the well-being of the world, you don’t have any right to reject my offer” replies clan head, Finn, as he slams the handle of his chair.
“I wouldn’t dare but the thing is since we are already at war with the Bryan clan, who is going to lead the army to war,” asked Ellis.
“We have many qualified bodies to take charge in his absence so don’t worry about that” replies clan head Finn.
“Alright since father has already decided, then I guess I Will have to go with it then,” said Ellis as he bows once more before leaving the courtyard.
Heading back to his courtyard, Ellis thought his problem is over until a middle ages man walks past him, and with the way he is dressed, Ellis knew who it was right away as he began to give Chase after the middle ages man who started running after knowing that he has been found out.
“Why are you going to benefit from doing all this Ray,” said Ellis as he continues to chase after him.
“I just wanted to try something out and nothing more” reply Ray.
“Why are you running if you are not guilty of what you are doing,” said Ellis.
“Who said I am” replies Ray as he stops running and turns to Ellis with a wide smile on his face.
Not giving Ray the time to think of running again, Ellis holds him by the hand drags him back to the courtyard where he told jenny to take the mask off him and keep it and was allowed to give it back to him when they are out of the clan.
Meanwhile, in Wyatt courtyard, he was sitting in his chair while looking at Brodie who bowed with a knee on the ground while another standing with a straw hat on that covered his face as it prevents others from taking a good look at him.
“So you are the one that Brodie has given the task of assassinating my brother which you couldn’t complete and here you are making demands,” said Wyatt in a calm but very cold voice.
“Young master, we were provided with the wrong information which is why things didn’t go as we plan” reply fray.
“Wrong information, what a joke you truly are. If it is wrong information then how come he didn’t return to the clan with his protectors” asked Wyatt.
“How am I suppose to know about that since the men we sent after he was topnotch” reply fray.
“That is your problem and not mine because my brother was never an expert,” said Wyatt.
“I think I will have to investigate the matter” reply fray.
“Please do but before that, I have a mission for you. You see my brother will be leaving soon for Azure empire and I want you to put an end to him since he is proving to be a difficult opponent for the position of the clan head” said Wyatt as he stares at fray with the killing intent in his eyes.
“When do your highest think he would be leaving” asked fray.
“I don’t have any idea but I do know that since he already knew that someone is trying to get him killed, then he will be leaving the clan secretly when no one will be expecting it. So all you have to do is keep a tab over him” replied Wyatt.
“Okay, do you want me to bring his head to you as proof,” asked fray.
“There will be no need for that, I believe you will be able to get things done” reply Wyatt with a smile on his face.
“Don’t forget about my offer” said fray with a chuckle.
“As long as you can get the job done, then your offer will be given to you” reply Wyatt.
After completing his purpose of coming, fray bow to Wyatt before walking out of the courtyard secretly leaving Brodie and Wyatt in the room.
“I don’t trust that guy,” said Wyatt with a frown on his face.
“Young master why would you say that master fray has the reputation of always completing his task without fail no matter what so you have to feel at ease” reply Brodie as he raises his head from the bow.
“I am not doubting his ability but I just have this feeling that he won’t be completing the mission,” said Wyatt.
“Do young master thinks your younger brother will pay him off?” asked Brodie.
“Exactly, that little boy can get away from something if money is involved so as long as he offers fray double of what I offered him, he might even pay him to be his bodyguard if I am not mistaking” reply Wyatt with a cold voice.
“Young master Yuh don’t have to worry yourself about that, you see master fray don’t like turning on his client, so no matter how much money he has, he won’t be able to buy his life this time around,” said Brodie with a chuckle.
“I will take your word for it then” reply Wyatt with a warm smile on his face.
Back at Ellis courtyard, the three were done with their preparation and were just waiting for commander derrick to arrive before leaving and their waiting didn’t take long before a letter was sent directly to Ellis through one of his trusted men.
“What is wrong with these clan people, after waiting our asses here only to receive a letter,” said Ray out of anger.
“He must have his reasons for sending the letter” reply Ellis as he tries to calm Ray down.
“Reason my ass, isn’t that the same thing he did when we were in the warberry cave, also acting when he feels like it,” said Ray with a frown on his face.
“Hey can you keep it down, we are trying to sneak out of here you know, and besides do you know how the gnurx would have attacked us in full scale if they discover that there is a strong ally on our side” reply Ellis as he can’t take it anymore.
After been yelled out, Ray decided to chill as he took a deep breath and asked Ellis.
“So what did the letter say”.
Opening the scroll to take a look at the content inside, Ellis decided to pass it to Ray for him to see for himself instead of saying it out loud for others to know. Taking the scroll from Ellis, Ray also went through the content before passing it to Jenny.
“I think this will work,” said Jenny with a smile on his face.
“I still can’t believe your brother hasn’t given up yet and sending the first wave” reply Ray with a sigh.
“Yes, and I hope he has enough resources to deal with my elder brother once I am out of the picture,” said Ellis with a chuckle.
“Don’t be surprised, your elder brother could also be planning on getting rid of you also” replied Jenny.
“I know but unlike my second eldest brother, he does his things with cautious and don’t leave a trace behind,” said Ellis with a smile.
“And that is far more dangerous than sending assassins which once they missed their target, it gets even harder to get them next time” replied Jenny.
“Alright people move those legs of yours, you can continue with your chitchat once we are out of here,” said Ray as he hurries them.
