Chapter 493 A Lead To Death
"I think we\'re close this time," Himmy said, stretching out in the open air. "I think we might be able to catch them, or whatever it is, and I\'m sure if we do, you\'ll have some questions as well."
Raze knew this was being directed at him, and he did. Why target the original Raze\'s family? What reason? Was there any involvement from them at all, or was it just coincidence?
"We have our plan now anyway; you and Anna, head to one of the Clan\'s recruitment bases. These clans are always looking for strong warriors, so it shouldn\'t be so hard. Try to find out what you can from the inside," Himmy asked, pulling out the stick from his mouth.
"Meanwhile, we\'ve got a lot of stairs to climb."
The group agreed and were ready to split up into their two separate ways, but Himmy had a few more words for the new pairing.
"You two, try your best to get along, and stay out of fights as much as you can," Himmy stated.
Raze had no intention of fighting against Anna, not unless she would try to get in his way or his goal.
——
Both Charlotte and Himmy had reached the bottom of the base of the Lethal Bite Clan, where staircases from four sides would lead up to the center area of the base.
Around all sides of the base, there were guards that would stay sharp protecting the area, and as expected when they had arrived, the guards were quick to act as they placed their hands by their side and weren\'t shy in showing their Qi.
"This is the base of the Lethal Bite Clan, what business do you have here!" One of the guardsmen shouted.
"There is an incident that had occurred," Himmy answered. "At the Rylon Religion Building, where a certain group of individuals had passed away.
"I\'m not sure if you\'re aware or not, but that group of individuals were related to us, the group known as Alter. We would like to speak to your leader about setting up a meeting of sorts to go through a few details."
The two guardsmen looked at each other for a moment. The expression on their faces showed that there was some concern.
Being in the field, Himmy had learned to pick up a thing or two about people\'s body reactions and traits that one would have, and he had certainly picked up on this one.
\'Is it because they heard we\'re from Alter, or is it something else? In that sentence, it\'s clear that they were startled by something.\'
"Please wait here," one of the guards ordered. "We will get back to you as soon as we can."
The Alter name wasn\'t something that Himmy wanted to use often, but they were a group of people that were respected in the Light and Dark Factions for helping clans with a number of situations.
Since this situation involved their own and wasn\'t a clan dispute, or at least they hoped it wasn\'t, they thought they would be more inclined to help.
A short while later, the guard had returned, agreeing that they were allowed to be let inside. Not much was said apart from the two of them to follow.
They walked up the large staircase leading Himmy and Charlotte to stop for a few moments.
"This is tough on someone\'s knees like mine," Himmy commented, breathing.
"This is... not easy for me either," Charlotte stated.
Eventually, the two powered through it as they had reached the top. From down below, they noticed that the building looked to be just placed at the very top point.
Now they were here, they realized that there was actually a considerable amount of ground space. A few of the warriors were training to the side using the ground space, and there were even trees.
They continued to follow the guard until they had entered inside the giant wide building, which had large pillars beaming up to the top on the outside.
Upon entering, they had immediately entered a large hall that veered off into different sections. There were two large spiraling staircases that also led to the center and the other floors.
However, the guard went straight to the first room on the right. Inside there wasn\'t much that was spectacular; it was more of a storage room with several crates, a desk, and a few chairs.
On the front of the desk, there was a sheet that was meant for counting stock.
\'This is unusual compared to how we\'re usually treated,\' Himmy thought.
Even if they weren\'t clan members from a large guild, they often were still treated as guests. Due to generations of Alter helping out the clans, the elders of the clans always told them to treat Alter nicely.
Often when visiting, they would be offered a tour, followed by some food before they got to the talking parts of business.
This time though, there was none of that, and when looking at the person sitting at the desk, it didn\'t even seem to be someone of importance that was part of the clan.
"I am sorry for the delay," the man behind the desk said, standing up and shuffling the sheets of paper in front of him.
"Currently, our leader as well as the top-ranking members of the clan are extremely busy. We apologize that they are unable to meet you at this time. I am Limpo, a squad leader of the Lethal Bite Clan," the man introduced himself with a small bow.
"I heard of your matter, and I can give you details, but I suspect that you might want to talk to those that were at the scene?" Limpo asked.
"You are correct, we wanted to know if there was anything that was missing that could help us find out how this has happened," Himmy answered.
Limpo stroked his hand across the table for a moment and then stopped. The moment he did, he started to speak.
"Although I can bring those people over to you, I believe there is something more important at hand," Limpo answered.
"We have of course been running an investigation into what happened ourselves. We are a large clan and deaths occurring on our land are troubling to us more so than anyone else," Limpo explained.
"However, something has occurred, which drew all of our attention away, and is still drawing our attention now, but that\'s beside the point."
"Our reports indicate that there were four people that had entered the Rylon Building, yet it also states that there were only three bodies found."
"What!" Himmy shouted so surprised he slammed both hands on the table, and before he knew it, the two guards had their fists pointed to the side of his ribs, ready to act at any moment.
"Precisely, we haven\'t had time to search for the fourth body, that is even if there is one, but it is quite possible that there is still one member of this group that is still alive."
Before meeting Raze, there were no survivors. The pattern, the way people died, it matched all the same, and then there was Raze, the only survivor, but now there was a chance that there could be one other survivor.
Himmy needed to use everything he had to find this person.
