Chapter 124 - Suspicion's
A new wave was slowly brewing in the city of Tarnish.
Manuel Lomba was scrutinizing the report that was before him. Then he looked towards his subordinates that were before him, there was a little anger in his face.
"So what you are saying is that a rebel in the supreme warrior realm visited my city , made all this ruckus and left without anyone even noticing…. And what were you idiots doing all this time, sleeping… and you didn\'t know this was an establishment of the snake gang..."
Subordinates that were before him included the enforcer chief and the higher officials of the city administration.
They all bowed their heads with an ashen face .
Enforcer chief was the first to speak
" This is the investigative report submitted by detective Harman, but we can\'t take it at face value.
The only person who is proficient in Earth element and is in the supreme warrior realm is that old man Luke Mando, but it would be impossible for someone like him to make a move here.
As the known commander of Earth base he can\'t just roam around freely… It is possible that detective Harman is mistaken.."
But everyone present here knew detective Harman, the guy was a weirdo but very efficient with his job.
Manuel creased his forehead and after rebuking them some more he asked all of them to leave and continue with the investigation more thoroughly.
After everyone left he spoke again
" What do you think, Maxwell.."
Maxwell, who has been listening to everything from a side room entered the hall and bowed to his father.
" I have already received information from someone… This was a joint mission by three newly appointed Dragon Major\'s of the rebel army… But as the mission progressed some one else entered the fray...Dror the barbarian, he was the one who was fighting inside the brothel.. "
Manual who heard this crushed the right handle of his seat " Are you saying that, the bastard was right under our nose all this time and escaped after creating all these commotion… he has the guts to shame the Lomaba family again, call your uncle I want to arrange a man hunt right now…. I don\'t care what kinds of measure is used I want that son of a bi** found, Increase his bounty ten times if you have to, announce that anyone who provide information related to him will be rewarded with 20,000 ken "
" Father please calm down, have you forgotten what the investigative report said, there was someone in the supreme warrior realm who uses Earth elemental techniques.."
Manual who was too angry to see things clearly paused.
" Are you saying that he has already entered the supreme warrior realm… impossible, no one can have that kind of cultivation speed.."
Maxwell didn\'t reply instantly this time but paused " according to the information that I received, he is the only person who can use Earth elemental technique to such a level…. But I don\'t think he has entered the supreme warrior realm, if he really was in supreme warrior realm the snake gang could have never gotten the chance to put on such a fight…."
Manual who has calmed down pondered " are you saying that he has a technique or way to use the power in the supreme warrior realm…"
Maxwell replied with a grin " I was thinking more on the line of a treasure that could help him release supreme warrior level strength, but it is possible it can be a technique or something else.."
Manual was surprised now " A treasure that can help a True warrior unleash the power of a supreme warrior… That is indeed no ordinary treasure.."
Maxwell was much more calm " Father, I have been looking into this person\'s report for a long time now, this man is not at all ordinary. If my guess is correct he had come across some great lucky encounter and the number of treasure that he is hiding is much more than we know of…"
manual scratched his chin slightly " what are you suggesting…"
Maxwell " instead of treating him like an enemy that we need to destroy at any coast, we should treat him as treasure trove that we need to capture at any cost… father I wish to capture him alive if possible"
Manual had an evil grin and greed in his eyes " you are right it would be such a waste, if we just kill him off. The possibility of him having a lot of treasure and knowledge related to other treasures is very high.. maybe he knows where one of the secret facilities or sacred ground relating to the ancient civilization is situated…"
Maxwell also had an evil smile " Father we should never let the others find out, the investigation report and related evidence should disappear and we will continue to act as the head strong Lomba family who is diligently hunting the enemy .."
Manual also showed a knowing smile..
After traveling for a few days Dror finally returned to the Earth base,to his surprise he was received with a grand welcome, he could see people whispering behind his back and his own company along with vice commander Henry had welcomed him back personally.
Dror was surprised as he didn\'t know he had become so famous within a few days.
After the incident at Tarnish he became more popular, the knowledge that the young dragon major was ready to sacrifice his own life for his comrades and the common people was spread wide.
Of Course this was the result of gossip and bragging of the rebel soldiers who participated in the battle.
To boot it all, It was also officially announced that the mission was a complete success and Dror who was not even an actual participant of the mission had received the same reward as the rest of the three dragon major\'s, who had actually taken upon the mission.
He didn\'t get any time to rest after the long journey and was pulled along for a meeting with his men at his office.
Alexander " you have done very well this time, not only did you bring glory to our company but real rewards and resources to the company.."
Old Zhao couldn\'t hide his smirk " we were worried that our company would feel the pressure without accomplishing any serious mission, but now it is all settled…"
It was continued by the complement of the rest.
Dror who had been feeling a little tired also became energetic after listening to his friends praises and the information that they provided.
The company was provided with many additional resources including higher grade weapons and cultivation resources, at the same time the intangible reward was that.
The idea of a people\'s revolution by the people was slowly spreading far and wide among the rebel base.
Dror had spread this idea among his soldiers and asked Alexander to spread it slowly among the other rebels.
And now with Dror\'s action it was spreading much more smoothly.
After half an hour of discussion Dror returned to his residence and took a hot bath and had a relaxing sleep.
He was summoned by the commander later to receive his rewards and had a simple celebration with his friends.
The days passed by soon, Dror was back to his own little library in the dragon company office building.
He was in deep thought again, the idea of spreading the revolution required him to have a grand platform, from where he could reach all the citizens at the same time.
After digesting the death impartation he had gained a greater confidence and his future plans have also improved drastically.
He brought back certain machines of the ancient civilization back this time and was analyzing and testing it with his own scientific staff at some time.
He had also given an elaborate report on the ancient civilization facilities that he had visited to Alexander who further submitted it to the rebel administration gaining more merits for the company.
The facilities that Dror visited included a small military facility with 6 batches of the ancient civilization weapons being still intact, two smaller mines that could be mined for some profit and the small government facilities in some of the older towns, which was also one of his main targets when he embarked on this journey.
The machines that he brought back were also from these government facilities, these were not any weapons or similar equipment, but just communication related equipment.
When the research team inside the Dragon company heard that the Major had brought some equipment for them to study and research, they were all intrigued and excited.
But when they understood that this was no weapons but some kind of communication equipment all their excitement died down, but they were professional so got back to work immediately and after seeing that Dror inquired about the results every now and then, they knew this research might not be so simple.
Dror was comparing his own knowledge that he had gained from reading the books of ancient civilization with the research results that the team has come up with.
After just three days Dror was excited as he had finally figured out how to utilize these equipment in a good manner.
