Chapter 609 Spies In Zahara Kingdom

"Brother-in-Law! Your timing was impeccable!" Shuwrak Zahara exclaimed joyously in the palace upon spotting Brangara.

"I told you it would work, stupid uncle." Barla nudged him from the side, "You were the one doubting my plan until the end."

"Well...I haven't done anything that brave all my life. So it required more guts than what I had," Shuwrak Zahara smiled wryly. He then approached Brangara and expressed his curiosity, "Say, is it true that the strongest of my attacks wouldn't be able to harm even a strand of hair of yours?"VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Well, you could try and see it for yourself," Brangara said.

In response to his words, Shuwrak made an exaggerated action of annoyance, "If I had the courage to do that, why would I bother to ask you?"

"Is this guy always like this?" Brangara stared at Yarsha Zahara exasperatedly, "I've never seen a guy arrogant at his lack of strength."

"Uncle, come with me. I'll teach you a new technique." Barla said and dragged Shuwrak away.

"He..." Yarsha Zahara hesitated a bit before saying, "All his life, he behaved as my stand-in."

"What do you mean?" Brangara was confused.

"When I was born, news of my talent was leaked throughout the Kingdom. Many powerful families secretly harbouring bad intentions against the Royal Family wanted to kidnap me for their agendas. They wanted to steal my talents." Yarsha Zahara said, "Brother was born with a frail body and was similar in height to me, despite being five years older. So, he disguised himself as me and had been kidnapped countless times."

Shuwrak managed to survive through all that, but as a defensive mechanism, he developed to become flashy of his weaknesses. It was thanks to this that he managed to live through various compromising situations.

"I respect the sacrifice that he has made. If not for him, I wouldn't have been alive as myself until now." Yarsha Zahara sighed, "So, I want him to change. But he doesn't desire a change."

"Are those families alive?" Brangara smiled faintly. "If there are any survivors, I'll erase them. Give me a few minutes."

"Do you have a list?" Brangara stared at the Zahara King.

"Yes," The Zahara King bowed respectfully before giving a scroll to Brangara. He then prostrated on the ground, "But I hope you spare them for the time being."

"Why?" Brangara asked, "They dared target my wife. So what reason do I have to spare them?"

"The Kingdom would collapse when you eliminate everyone responsible." The Zahara King said in apology, "They all hold important positions in the Kingdom. And other than the kidnapping incident, they've done a great job for the Kingdom."

"I only request you to spare them until their positions are inherited by their successors. That way, eliminating them won't cause the Kingdom to come to a standstill."

'Now, I need to wait patiently.' The spy wiped his sweat, returned to the rundown tea house and slumped on the seat, "A jug of water, please."

"Here," The server presented the water alongside a cup of tea, "Do you need anything else?"

"A plate of my usual order." The spy ordered.

"Coming up!" Followed by a short announcement to the kitchen, the server returned to take care of the needs of the other customers.

Soon, it was late into the night as the rundown tea house called it a day and closed shop. Cleaning the floors calmly while whistling a tune was the server, her actions coming to a halt suddenly.

Upon surveying her surroundings to double-check the level of safety, she spat a tiny sphere of bone that expanded to a radius of two metres and cracked, revealing the figure of Orakha inside. "What's the matter?"

"Yennda is nowhere to be found." Orakha gritted his teeth, "We've been keeping a watch all along, but the moment Brangara left for the Zahara Kingdom, Yennda vanished. Now that they all are here, Virala and I scouted the entire Varahan Enclave. There are no traces of Yennda there."

"What about Grehha?" The server asked, "Is Yarsha Zahara displaying any intentions of reviving him?"

"She has stopped the revival process at the final step." Orakha said, "She probably only needs to seep in ten or so units of Prana to revive Grehha. So, she's storing his revival fruit in her Minor Treasure of Lunchbox."

"Have you managed to figure out which of her four Lunchboxes has Grehha?" The served frowned.

"Not yet," Orakha shook his head, "Brangara is always at her side. He's also keeping his keys in his vicinity. So, it's impossible for me to get anywhere close to him without being dealt with instantly."

"It's troublesome." The server nodded and stared at Orakha, "Well, is that all?"

"Yeah," Orakha nodded before expressing nervousness, "But Gannala, isn't this dangerous? You've infiltrated Zahara Kingdom on your own. If you were to get captured, then our situation would become hopeless."

"That can't happen. No need to worry." Gannala said, "I'm just occupying the Nature Slot of a citizen here. Even Brangara cannot detect me. Besides, the best place to hide is in the shadow at the feet of the lamppost."

"From this proximity, I can focus on the Wean Clan's actions the best." Gannala then shrugged and took a seat, "Let's talk about you now."

Her eyes curled up faintly as she asked, "Is Maroppa pregnant yet?"

"No..." Orakha shook his head, flinching instinctively as the Mystic Eaters hidden in his clothes trembled all of a sudden. 'She has changed a lot as compared to before. I'm feeling fear to think about her.'

'No, is this her actual personality?' Orakha shuddered upon seeing Gannala's smile. Her subsequent words almost made him commit suicide to flee the place.

"It's a pity, and here I thought you would have acted upon your ambition already. Both the Chief and Yahard Tusk are safe."
