Hecathe waited exactly for a minute and LeiLei took this time to get herself over to where Marvin was, but the girl didn't contact the man about it just yet and Hecathe was left waiting for a few more minutes.
The more Hecathe waited, the more impatient he got and when he decided to finally send a message to the girl, he wasn't able to as he received a message from her first.
"Sir," LeiLei finally sent him a message after a few minutes and the girl clearly didn't sound too relaxed as she spoke, "I think Marvin found the one we were looking for."
Hecathe gulped as he heard this and stood up as he replied, "I'm coming over."
"Get here fast," LeiLei didn't sound scared but at the same time, the girl didn't sound calm either as she didn't even bother stopping Hecathe from coming.
Hecathe immediately closed the QMS and turned around to leave the place, however, as soon as he turned around, he came face to face with another mecha-suit.
Hecathe's eyes widened slightly as he slowly glanced down at the poster that the mecha-suit was holding.
As expected, it seemed that this case wasn't about a single mecha-suit but rather, it was about a whole group of mecha suits.
Hecathe gulped as he looked back at the mecha-suit and tried his best to remain calm as he asked, "What is it?"
The mecha-suit looked at Hecathe without saying anything and Hecathe almost thought that the mecha-suit had recognized him.
Thankfully enough, Hecathe was wearing his mask. If he hadn't been wearing his mask then he would have most certainly been recognized as Alphius.
The mecha-suit didn't say anything for a whole few minutes before he slowly raised the poster and asked, "Have you seen him around?"
Hecathe looked at Alphius's photo that was printed on the poster and he didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry at the moment.
Instead of giving a straight response, Hecathe clicked his tongue as he asked, "Why are you looking for him?"
The face of the man inside the mecha-suit was not visible so it was only natural that Hecathe couldn't see his expression and guess what the mecha-suit was feeling, however, although he couldn't see the man's face, he could still guess that the mecha-suit was not happy to hear this question.
"Have you seen him?" The mecha-suit repeated his question as he ignored Hecathe's question and Hecathe couldn't help but frown.
"I also asked you a question," Hecathe clicked his tongue as he responded, "Why don't you try answering my question first and I'll tell you the answer to yours."
The mecha-suit also didn't sound too happy as he repeated his question for the third time and even gritted his teeth this time, "Have you seen him or not?"
Hecathe, "..."
The mecha-suit was stubborn but Hecathe was stubborn as well and he was definitely not going to let the mecha-suit have his way.
"Brother, are you hunting this boy or something? Why do you refuse to tell me why you are looking for him?"
The mecha-suit took a step back as he heard this and Hecathe was a bit confused with this reaction.
Hecathe opened his mouth to question why the man had stepped back, however, before any words could roll out of his tongue, the mecha-suit pulled out a zelium gun and Hecathe immediately understood why the man had taken a step back.
"..."
Hecathe finally knew why there were complaints saying that the mecha-suits were harassing people. These mecha-suits clearly didn't even know how to ask for a favor from a person. They were a bit too violent...!
"Sir, where are you?" LeiLei sent Hecathe a message and her voice clearly sounded a bit urgent, however, Hecathe was also in an urgent situation.
Hecathe gulped as he pursed his lips into a thin line and lifted his hand to respond to the girl calmly, "LeiLei, it seems that I've also met a troublesome one."
It took a few minutes for LeiLei to respond, "Sir... We'll take care of it here."
Hecathe almost wanted to laugh as he heard this response but it was certainly not as amusing as her next words.
"All the best."
"..."
The girl said nothing more and Hecathe also didn't bother responding to the girl.
"Are you going to shoot me now?" Hecathe pursed his lips into a thin line as he asked without feeling any sort of amusement.
The mecha-suit simply looked at Hecathe and didn't give an answer to this question, however, from the raised gun that was pointed at Hecathe, it could be clearly understood that the man was certainly not joking around.
"Are you sure you want to shoot me because of something this trivial?" Hecathe asked as he tilted his head with a small smirk and this time, he was daring the mecha-suit to shoot him, "You should see who you're shooting before you act on impulse."
The mecha-suit put some pressure on the trigger and Hecathe couldn't help but gulp as he almost felt his soul flying out of his body for a second there.
"I know where he is," Hecathe sighed as he immediately spoke and tried to calmly save himself the trouble of being shot, however, the mecha-suit that Hecathe had met was clearly not someone who was nice nor was he considerate and understanding.
As soon as he heard Hecathe, he shot the gun without even missing a beat and the zelium bullet penetrated Hecathe's shoulder that the mecha-suit had aimed.
"Argh!" Hecathe immediately groaned as a response and grabbed onto his shoulder as he looked at the small hole that was letting out a few bolts of green-colored smoky lightning, "You idiot, you really shot me!"
Hecathe almost felt as if he heard the mecha-suit chuckle as he said this.
"You should've answered me when I asked you the first time," The mecha-suit clicked his tongue as he spoke and Hecathe couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.
This mecha-suit... Had successfully managed to anger Hecathe and this... Was certainly not good for the mecha-suit.
"Where did you see him?" The mecha-suit questioned as he got ready to shoot again and this time, Hecathe didn't bother twisting the answer.
"He's in Zeblor," Hecathe gritted out as he clenched his arm tighter, "If you don't believe me then you can go and inspect. I saw him breaking into Zeblor a few days ago. The news should be famous in the city by now. He even challenged the three willows of spring directly."
The mecha-suit looked as if he was stunned to hear this and his muscles tensed up for a minute there.
"You don't believe me?" Hecathe scoffed as he questioned, "If you don't believe what I'm saying then why the hell did you even ask me in the first place itself?!"
The mecha-suit was silent as he heard this and with the helmet still covering his face, Hecathe couldn't guess what facial expression the man had on his face at this moment.
A few minutes passed just like that and the mecha-suit finally put down his gun as he believed Hecathe's words and responded with a sigh, "Okay. You can go now."
Hecathe blinked in surprise a few times as he heard this and he was in disbelief as he saw the mecha-suit turning around and getting ready to leave.
This... Was seriously harassing common people for information!
Hecathe gritted his teeth and felt the need to stop the man just so that he could punch him in the face and make him feel the pain of being shot by a bullet, however, after thinking about it for a minute, the man felt that it would be truly selfish of him to do something like that.
The big violent bear was walking away so why would Hecathe try to stop him just so that he could get even...?
It was only logical that Hecathe decided to stay quiet this time and it was mainly because of his identity as Alphius.
If he simply revealed the fact that he was Alphius, Hecathe was sure that this mecha-suit would fall on his knees and beg for forgiveness, however, that was not what Hecathe wanted.
What Hecathe wanted was to create chaos and in order to do that, he needed both the three willows of spring and the mecha-suits.
Hecathe winced as he felt a sting of pain and removed the cloak from his shoulder as he looked at the wound on his arm.
The wound soon stopped letting out small green lightning bolts and started to slowly heal up.
Hecathe had never actually seen such a regeneration happening right in front of his eyes so the sight was truly a bit hard to believe for him, however, he was not surprised.
After being shot the first time by Marvin, Hecathe had already realized that Alphius had an exceptional regenerating and healing ability.
Hecathe gulped as he waited a few minutes for the wound to completely heal up and once it was completely healed up, he patted around to see if there was any pain.
Just as expected, the wound had really healed itself so well that it was like Hecathe had never been shot, to begin with.
