Chapter 493 A Lead To Death
After leaving the large religious building, as usual with these types of things, Raze as well as the others had left with more questions rather than answers.
The important thing was that they had a plan on how to move forward. There was a slight tingle that Himmy could feel on the tip of his tongue.
"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.
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.
