The Princess And The Lord

1282  The Chase

The streets of the city of Gilstead were bustling with the sound of ambulance and police sirens mixed with the noisy voices of people standing in front of a five-star hotel watching white smoke billowing from one of the hotel rooms.

The artists and celebrities who live there are being interviewed by reporters who ask how they are doing and what has happened. The news became so big moreover just a few days ago these celebrities almost died due to a Wyvern attack on the plane, now the hotel where they live was attacked, it seems like bad luck continues to follow them.

Meanwhile, at the scene, Sean was standing in the middle of a room that had been completely destroyed without leaving anything behind, not even a single sheet remained, but strangely enough, the four walls remained standing without the slightest crack, only the window glass was shattered.

"Nothing left, this laptop and tablet are useless now," Andreas grumbled as he threw the black plate that used to be a laptop.

"She's smart," said Sean.

"And capable...that's the problem" Andreas slipped his hands on his trousers while sweeping his gaze to the wrecked room, "I got news from Argus about eight Dragxtarn who died at the Golden Bricks warehouse, last night at the same time Mosh car got 'supposedly' stolen"

"They found his car?" the corner of his lips quirks up.

"Yes, they found it at the same place so they guessed someone had borrowed his car without him knowing or he lent his car to someone when he was drunk, anyway, no one thought about it since it's not happened for the first time" Andreas scoffs at Lory's ingenious plan of choosing a car from questionable characteristics like Mosh. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If only they knew...

Sean rubbed his chin, Andreas scoffs at Lory's ingenious plan of choosing a car from questionable characteristics like Mosh. Andreas sighed "It should be but the camera didn't catch anything, at least we can be sure now that they are professional"

"Now we sure?" Sean quipped.

"Hey, who are you, you shouldn't be here!" a young policeman suddenly came to rebuke them in a loud voice.

Both Andreas and Sean turned around with annoyed looks. The young police were furious with their arrogant attitude, and they accused him, "If you don't talk, come with me to the head office!"

Andreas looked at the policeman with a condescending look while Sean turned his head back without paying attention to the young policeman's words.

"You—" the young policeman was about to rebuke them when the more senior policeman hurriedly grabbed the young policeman's shoulder. "I'm sorry my colleague, he's still new so there's a lot he doesn't understand yet," he lowered his head in apology.

"But they—" the young policeman was confused.

"Shut up!" the old cop shoots a warning look at the young cop.

The young cop immediately shut his mouth not daring to speak anymore.

Andreas waved his hands to chase them away, the old cop immediately dragged his young colleague to leave.

When they were far enough away the young policeman was confused "Who are they?"

"One of the celebrities invited for the photo shoot," answered the senior police officer.

That only gets the young cop more upset "Then why was—!"

"Pssst!" the old cop pressed his index finger to his lips, he looked around before speaking in a hushed tone "They got the S.A.I.N.T. organization clearance!"

The young cop widened "A...are they a Paladin?"

The old cop shakes his head "I don't know, don't ask anymore!" he pulls the young policeman to walk faster away from this place.

Meanwhile, Sean and Andreas have left the ruined room after finding nothing usable. As they walked through the crowd, they continued their conversation.

"By the way, about the information you got from Angela Swann about the incident at the

Black Crow Guild in Blue Mirage City" Andreas gave his cell phone to Sean and then said: "We did a cross-investigation with Argus and that's what we got, remember both of them are men accompanying Raven Jane?"

Garrof and Lloyd's faces as well as their biodata appeared on the phone, Sean wasn't surprised they were former members of the Ultima infantry and would even explain where their experience came from "It seems like they've had problems with Luxemborough for a long time, what about Raven Jane?"

Andreas shook his head "Not much, other than they probably met at the Beast's Slayer Guild in Eagle Rock city, and guess who the Guild leader is"

Sean raised his eyebrows not interested in messing around with him, Andreas grinned and then said: "Jack Quaid, another Ultima ex-members"

"It seems a lot of them involved with this matter, coincidence?" Sean swipes the phone then Jack Quaid's personal information and photo appear.

"Hopefully, cause this could be a problem" Andreas's eyes darkened.

Sean's features are set in full concentration "This woman, Raven Jane, and her husband are like a ghost, no picture no information whatsoever, before and after the Dark Age War"

"You know the information became unreliable after the war..."Andreas utters.

"Yes, but it's impossible for anyone with that much power to hide from people's attention for a long time, someone must know or hear something but no one knows about her as if she just emerged out of nowhere... it doesn't make sense" the more he knew about her the less he understands about her.

Andreas understood what Sean was thinking because he was also curious about who this woman really was, especially after he got the information from Argus.

"Do you think they were involved with the deaths of the eight Dragxtarn at the Golden Bricks warehouse?"

Sean shrugged then handed the phone back to Andreas, "All the information points to them"

Andreas brushes his hair with a troubled expression, "According to information from Argus if we carefully examine the timeline of Ethan's recovery and the failure of the Augburn family's plan from there we can see that it is very likely that Raven Jane was involved in this, and don't forget that the deaths of eight Dragxtarns were also related to her and also the two ex-members. That ultimate, from here we can clearly see which side they stand?" Andreas' eyes glinted dangerously.

Sean knew the opportunity to tie him to his side was getting smaller, he felt unfortunately he could not rope a capable woman to his side.

There's a twinge of disappointment flash on his face but their cause is much more important than this, "What a pity, anyway what about the Augburn family?"

Andreas let out a loud snort "They're useless! With The Hamilton family having the upper hand the Augburn family wouldn't have the chance"

Sean turned around then tilted his head, he stared at the chaotic scene behind him for a while before he spoke, "I guessed we should throw the rotten fruit before it ruined the other fruit" he casually slipped his hands on his trousers and walked away, he ponders for a few seconds then say: " It seems it's the right time to talk with the Dragxtarns"

Andreas snickered "Good luck with that"

"Don't jinx it!" Sean quipped.

Elsewhere, they finally managed to arrive at the outskirts of Gilstead after changing stations several times, but their journey went smoothly without any problems.

Garrof then met a skinny man with round glasses and spiky red-green hair with pierced earflaps.

"Blinx" Garrof waved his hand.

"Where's Lloyd?" the skinny man asked.

"He's on his way," Garrof answered briefly.

Blinx's gaze now turned to Lory and the others. "You weren't kidding when you said you would need a big car"

"Yup, by the way, these are all Blinx - these are all Blinx" Garrof introduced them carelessly.

Blinx's eyes suddenly stopped on Lory, "Oh, hello" he took off his glasses in a friendly manner. "I think we need more introductions here~" he smiled flirtatiously at Lory.

"Hi!" Garrof scolds him but Blinx ignores him.

"Oh, hello beautiful lady, I'm Blinx, meaning, if we were together, I could make you feel something you never felt before..."

"What, nauseous?" Owen accidentally spoke his thoughts out loud.

Lydia, Owen, and Dan had never felt second-hand embarrassment before, how could they not?! This Bozzo is hitting Princess Lorient! From all of the girls he could pick on, he should pick the most powerful and distinguished woman in the world! 10:52

Lydia, Owen, and Dan had never felt second-hand embarrassment before, how could they not?! This Bozzo is hitting Princess Lorient! From all of the girls he could pick on, he should pick the most powerful and distinguished woman in the world! Meanwhile, Garros snorted while covering his face, he should have known this damn playboy would embarrass him by accidentally speaking his thoughts out loud.

Blinx didn't care what other people thought, he smiled broadly showing his rows of white teeth, he took Lory's hands in a gentlemanly manner "Would you be so kind as to tell me what your name is?"

"Married" Lory replied bluntly, not forgetting to smile sweetly.

"....that's one unique name" he still smiled foolishly.

Garrof can't take anymore, he pushes Blinx's face away from Lory "She's Married, IDIOT!"

"Huh, Married?" he clearly looked disappointed "Why do all the good women are married if not, dead?" Blinx grumbles.

"Why don't you chase Serena, I thought she's more of your type!" Garrof shoos him away.

"Nah, she's crazy about Lloyd, also...she scares the hell out of me" Blinx pouted then threw the car keycard at Garrof.

Not long after that, Lloyd came carrying two large backpacks. Luckily he got big stature so it didn't look strange to carry two large backpacks.

"Yo, Lloyd you're here!" Blinx opened his arms wide.

Garrof raised an eyebrow, "Is that my bag?"

"Who else!" Lloyd threw Garrof's backpack back at him.

Garrof caught the bag and then put it in the trunk after that he motioned for Owen and the others to get into the Jeep.

"Is it really, no one got suspicious seeing a big guy like you carrying two big bags?" Lory asked Lloyd.

"Luckily everyone's attention was on the news, so no one cared about me," Lloyd shrugged.

Lory then asked again, "Did you use the train too?"

"Yeah, the traffic is crazy so I have to take the monorail" Lloyd opened the front passenger door then jumped in, "But I wouldn't be surprised if our picture would soon be all over the media"

Lory propped her chin and said: "Fortunately, I'm already bored with this style."
