My Last Hunt - Chapter 397
Class Test 27
The day opened up with huge number of activities. There were many peak level seven beasts standing in front of the black building. They came from their respectable dens. All those dens which faced sudden destruction, the beasts were here to question the Lord Beast. They might have overlooked or just sent report for the incident however the involvement of council member was questionable.
Most of them thought that the matter was limited to their separate den however when they saw many other beasts from the various parts of the North Sepedra they got curious. It was strange series of incidents while the Lord Beast was nowhere to answer them.
Lord Zim was sleeping in his comfortable room. The attendant was afraid to disturb the rest time of the Lord. Lord Zim instructed the attendant beast to not disturb no matter how urgent it was. The beasts outside were gathering in the open ground.
A council member that happened to witness Mesa doing destruction also came to talk with the Lord Beast. However he was also standing outside because the main hall was not opened for any meeting. The main hall only welcome when there was meeting. Visitors could not randomly enter in the main hall or the building.
“How can Lord Beast be clueless and still resting? Is he intentionally ignoring our presence?” One the beasts was questioning the obliviousness of the Lord beast. “I am no more lenient toward the Lord Beast. How could he act this way?” the other beast added.
The beasts of their dens were killed out of sudden; the injured were questioning their masters. Council member saw the increasing numbers of the beasts complaining the similar events. It seemed most parts of the North Sepedra were targeted by Mesa. First of all it was opposing that the council beast could do something ruthless.
“Did you hear the spoken words too?” a beast inquired stunned. It thought that perhaps Mesa only spoke this for the den. It turned out that all dens went through same invasion. Slowly the voices increased, the beasts were getting restless to get the answer from the Lord Beast.
The noise woke up Lord Zim. He called his assistant beast to ask what was going around the black building. The assistant informed about the angry beasts. Lord Zim got shocked to hear that close to hundred beasts from various dens were present outside.
Lord Zim fixed his appearance and came in the main hall. He ordered to open the main hall entrance for everyone. The beasts came inside. All of them were eager to relate what happened. Then they let the council beast to talk first.
“Respected Lord, Mesa was seen as various parts of the North Sepedra. He destructed most parts of few dens. There is something troublesome more than this…” the council beast paused at this. “Relate…” Lord Zim was boiling with the fury. He wanted to know who did this. How suddenly things were progressing at the opposite side. The peace was destroying yet he was clueless.
“He said that Lord Beast wanted to teach lesson to all those dens that have grudges against him…” The council beast spoke one word at a time. It was afraid that Lord Beast might get offended. Lord Zim wide opened his eyes. The words were simply too much.
Since when did he speak out the inner thought to someone like Mesa? Mesa has different type of intentions against lord Zim and he was aware. Lord Zim was thinking what was the truth? It was quite strange. “Bring Mesa and I will ask in front of everyone here. If the words were spoken then all of you will face my rage. In case Mesa committed the crime as most of you have witnessed then nothing could save the beast from my punishment.”
Lord Beast ordered few beasts to bring Mesa wherever he was hiding. Lord beast after getting rid disloyal Felon and traitor Colon was thinking to start preparation to welcome the representative beast from the Frost Fire Continent.
This new trouble was bigger than the previous one. Out of Ten Council Members one was killed, second was imprisoned. Now the third was destroying various parts of North Sepedra. It seemed the things were getting out of his hands. The reason was unknown. It all started the time he made his mind to get rid Hiko.
Thinking all this, he called his assistant to inform other Council Members about the events. All of the Council Members were on a visit to their dens. Their presence was necessary before he execute any punishment for Mesa.
Once or twice he thought to send someone and investigate the activities of Hiko beast then he changed his mind. The complex situation forced him to doubt each of the Council Member. All of them were suspicious in his eyes. He was also worried that if the situation went out of his hands whether the representative beast would take back the position of Lord Beast from him?
All thoughts clouded in his head. He was strong however hidden enemy was destroying his hard earned image. From two decades he rendered his blood and sweats for the sake of North Sepedra and gained this position. The beasts were waiting for the Council Members and the said beast called Mesa.
They wanted Lord Beast to kill Mesa. Mesa perhaps lost its head to do this hideous deed. They also wanted to know why Lord Beast gave this order. The silence pasted on the face of the Lord Beast was slowly increasing depth.
He was visibly angry and worried. It was clear that he did not pass this order. The beast observed his expressions, if he was guilty then he might have been giving them excuses for the incident. Instead he was waiting Mesa to decide the fate of the beast.
“Keep in your minds that Lord Zim would never harm any beast out of whim. I am loyal toward North Sepedra and the Frost Fire Continent.” He spoke and suddenly remembered that yesterday Felon and Colon both were saying this oath.
