"What do you mean, you want to pluck off his position? Do you think it would be that easy? Can we alone threaten his position of the emperor? It is nigh impossible." Philip said in a gloomy voice.
"Why do we have to threaten the position of an emperor."
"Then how are you going to do this."
"You just have to wait and see. You will understand soon enough."
Around a month later, they arrived at the southern star city. But they didn't enter it immediately.
In the nearby woods of the southern star, there is a small hill. They climbed that hill and went dug a small cave where they made a camp for themselves.
"I will visit the Park and will try to get some information on the situation. If you guys want you can stay here or you can stay inside the dimension."
"We will take a look around the surroundings and see what is the position here. The hunters usually have some first-class information, we will see if we get some."
Philip said and the four of them went to do their own thing.
Sam entered the city stealthily and infiltrated the staff quarters of the Park.
Evening.
The time for the shift change was here and the staff who just finished the shift came back.
Right now, Sam is in the residence of the leader of Mackey.
So, when Mackey came in, he slowly came out of the dimension and scared the hell out of Mackey.
Sam closed his mouth, not letting him yell in fear, and whispered in his ear.
"It's me, Sam."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMackey relaxed a bit and his usual emotionless face came back.
"You are indeed capable Boss; you can even enter the city in these circ.u.mstances."
"What is the situation?"
"Well, the Duke came back a few days ago along with a middle-aged man and had a meeting with the core staff of the Park.
He said that you are a criminal on run and they are going to confiscate the park in a discreet manner. The three-tower heads didn't agree as they are still afraid of your fireworks, since the duke didn't confirm that you are not dead, they don't want to do this, I heard that even the tower heads of the imperial capital are not willing to do so and they seem to say something about the peers of the same trade and the pressure from their professional associations.
So, they are trying hard to win over the tower heads. But they are not willing to budge and they are also saving up your share diligently.
But the city guards, the nobles all of them are on tight guard to get you, even the military was involved except for your battalion. I am actually quite surprised that you are able to get here without anyone noticing."
Sam didn't reply for a second and then asked.
"Are you really just a chef? How do you get all these details in the first place?"
"I just pay more attention. And the tower heads know that I am your original subordinate, so they told me most things."
"Then, who is holding my money?"
"Formation tower head."
"Okay, then I will see you later, just be careful. Things would get messy, extremely messy, and chaotic."
"See you later, Boss."
Sam left the place and came back to the cave.
The remaining three also came back and they are roasting a bird on the flames.
"It is just as we thought, the southern star became the primary target and they even tried to take over the park, but the resistance from the tower heads is more than I thought it would be, seems like I attracted the attention of some big shots in the thunder god island towers, otherwise these people wouldn't be able to control their greed at all.
Anyway, the military also got involved along with the nobility and all the other city guards. We are actually on a tight leash, what did you get on your side?"
Sam said as he took a bit of the roasted leg.
"Well, you truly became a big shot this time, there is a bounty on your head, but for some reason, we are not the talk at all. They are completely ignoring our presence and for some weird reason it is pissing me off."
Philip said with a gloomy face.
"What kind of bounty?"
"All kinds, we met a hunter team who are also part of an underground gang, there is a bounty on your head in both hunter circle and the underground circle.
Watt sneaked upon them to listen to their discussion, they even have a portrait of yours."
"Well, seems like I did become famous, but don't be too relaxed, I think you are also part of the bounty but the prizes might be less on your heads so some ignorant fools chose to ignore you. But a capable person wouldn't leave you like that."
"Forget it, I doubt that with your level of threat, they would even care about us," Philip replied as he started munching on the food.
"Okay, rest early tonight, tomorrow morning we have some work, find every poisonous beast there is in the surrounding forest. And search for these grasses, from what I know this area's climate is the best for these types of grasses.
Apart from that, catch the Wild root Raccoons, Red fur koalas, Yellow blood monkeys as much as you can. Try to be as discreet as possible. But find as many as you can."
"Why do you want them?"
"Didn't I tell you earlier, I have to honor my words and leave a message in this city."
Four of them went to work, although everything went slowly due to their discreetness the process was very smooth.
Meanwhile, in the distant realms, in a majestic Castle which is floating over the clouds, a white-colored winged elephant was guarding the entrance.
Inside the castle, in a dining room, two young men are facing each other.
One of them has a long hair with majestic looks tall stature with the electric blue eyes, Sam would recognize this person immediately from far away just from his silhouette because it is the same silhouette that he saw on the ceiling of the palace.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn front of him, a man whose face was blurry and clouded was sitting with his legs on the table.
He was dressed in black and a dangerous aura that would keep anyone at bay was emitting from him.
"Why are you here, Gambler?"
"You know better than anyone why I am here, Indra. You know the rules, don't you? Why did you still break them and trouble my player?"
"Hmph." Indra only snorted in response.
"I know actually, did your pride take a hit because he rejected your teachings? How did you even become a god with that fragile ego of yours? Trust me, you would be in big trouble these days because of that."
"Are you here to threaten me or something?"
"No, I am here to just remind you, as for this time, I will let it slide because he already tore down your statue in a single strike, I will consider that as a payback.
As for the next time, you would not escape scot-free. I will tear you down a new one right in front of all the deities that respect you."
"Do you think, you can walk away after talking to me like this in my territory? You must be dreaming."
As soon as his words ended, the White-winged elephant trumpeted as the sky shook and lightning roared.
"Do you think you can really deal with me with this Indra? Just with you and your Airavath [name of the winged elephant]? It seems like you are the one who is dreaming."
He finished his speech and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, the sky tore open and a black dragon roar came from it. A black dragon came out of the void as it roared at the Airavath while looking at the elephant dead in the eye.
The two immortal and mythical beasts stared down at each other as they released their auras without any signs of backing down. Both of them are extremely fierce as they don't want to outdone by the other.
But Indra who is facing the gambler is in a completely different mood. His face was filled with a mixture of surprise, shock, and fear at the same time.
"Vo... Void Dragon, when did you?" gambler didn't let him finish his words and said.
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me and don't assume that I am all meek and weak from all the inactivity. I am beyond what you can imagine. Just because I am playing a game with you, don't treat me like your equal.
You are a god for all the deities and living beings in your territory but for me, you are just a flower boy, don't show your pride ego, and all that shit in front of me and if you interfere with the game again and make a move on my or any other player, trust me, I will feed your Airavath to my pets in my ranch."
