Chapter 592 Unfinished business

"ARGH!!"

"GET BACK!!"

*Boom* *Boom*

The rocky arms succeeded in arresting 3 of them and then pulled them underground quickly. As for the strongest of them, called Mahobal, he managed to destroy 3 of the arms and quickly jumped back until he moved away from the huge gap in the ground and pulled with him the closest giant of his companions.

*KRRRR...*

"What the hell is going on?!" The giant Mahobal shouted as he saw the rocky hands being pulled into the ground again and the gap in the ground closing in on itself. He quickly raised his hand and gathered all his strength, then sent one fist after another towards the ground. After a little hesitation from the impact, the other giant followed with him took out the ax hanging on his back, and started attacking the ground as well, trying to get their companions back

The sounds of shouts and explosions were very loud, but no one dared to open a door or window to see what was happening as just a few minutes ago they had seen for themselves how crazy those five giants were, Also, no one wants to be a victim of the angry ghost!!

*Boom Boom*

The attacks of the two giants continued for several seconds, but the ground had already coalesced again by now as if nothing had happened! And no matter how hard they tried to smash the ground, they found nothing but more dirt and rocks, It seemed as if his three companions had vaporized into thin air.

"W-- What was this... what was that?! No... no... it's the angry ghost! it's the angry ghost!! We have to get out of here!!" The giant who was carrying the ax threw it aside and began to slowly move backward with a trembling body, then suddenly he turned his body and began to run at full speed!

But he did not go far, as suddenly one of the lampposts in the street moved like a snake and wrapped itself around the giant. Then the ground beneath it opened and the lamppost disappeared, along with the giant, with a scream that shredded the ears, "NOOOO---!!!"

When Mahobal heard the scream and saw his friend disappearing into the ground as if he were standing on quicksand, he took two reactive steps back and looked around frantically, "Who...? Who is there? What the hell do you want from us? I can give you everything you want, Just stop this madness already!!"

*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*

The only answer he received was that all the lampposts around him attacked him like snakes finding prey, and even the reinforced bricks that made up the road crept out and caught his feet!

"AAHHH!!" Mahobal hit his foot without mercy, crushing his fingers. Then he ignored the pain and jumped away from the attack of the lampposts. It was clear that he had a wind or lightning-type offensive divine tattoo because his speed was unreasonable. After he covered a decent distance and was able to avoid the obstacles in his way. He was sure that he could escape alive, so he looked behind him and shouted, "Ahhh, don't think this is over, wait until I tell His Majesty, you are dead!! Do you hear me? You will be dead even if we had to flip this city upside down!!"

*PAA*

At this moment, the giant collided with something that stopped him immediately, something that made him feel cold in all his limbs.

When the giant slowly looked forward, he saw a short person with an ugly face so full of scars that the left part of his cheek was almost nonexistent.

Even he the giant Mahobal who was killed until the rivers turned to blood, had to admit that he had never seen such cold eyes in his life... Then he looked down and found two short swords piercing his chest.

"You... you-- HMMMM!!!" Before Mahopal could say another word or raise his hands to throw a punch, several other individuals came up behind him, bound his arms and legs, and gagged his mouth.

The scarred person let go of the two swords and allowed the giant to fall to the ground as he tried to scream in pain and terror, the scarred person merely gestured towards his companions coldly, "Well done, return to your positions."

*swoosh* *swoosh*

Small gusts of wind formed around their bodies and they disappeared in the blink of an eye

As for the scarred person, he went back and grabbed the gagged giant by the back of his neck and returned to the same direction from which the giant was running away until he settled inside an empty narrow alley, and threw him again on the ground. Then he raised his face and began speaking to the wall, "Take him to your place and do what you have to do, he still has his life intact..."

*KRRRR*

"Hmmmm! HHHHMMMMMMM!!!!"

The ground beneath the giant opened again and began to slowly swallow him, ignoring his muffled, terrified screams

Then the stones that formed the wall in front of the scarred person began to move and stand out until they formed a face, and the face began to speak: "I have troubled you with me, third brother, I did not mean to involve you in my affairs."

"Richard, I don't want to hear you say such foolish things again, Your affairs are mine too. Now will you explain to me why you risked everything you had been building for years? Your victims were always alone or at a level, you could easily handle. Why did you suddenly raise the scale this time? Do you know what would have happened if this giant had managed to escape?" the Scarred person, or Peon, put his hand behind his back and spoke reproachfully

The stone face showed a worried expression as if it were a child being pampered, "You know that I need those captives to absorb more life energy to strengthen my army, If I wait until I take the life energy out of one giant every few months as I used to do before, I will never accumulate enough to escape."

Byun furrowed his distorted eyebrows, "And when did I tell you to stop what you are doing? On the contrary, ever since Theo left to take care of the Shadow Swords' affairs and I took his place to protect you, I noticed one or two giants disappearing every day around your house, and then the rate began to increase until at least one giant disappeared every hour! When I investigated the matter and noticed that you were the one doing this, I offered to hunt for you whoever you wanted so that you would not risk exposing yourself, you were refusing help from me and the rest of the wind team, but today you risked everything and attacked a large group and one of them was too strong for you to deal with him from such a great distance."

"Don't worry, brother. My circle of influence now extends for a kilometer in all directions, and in this city live more than ten million giants, who can link the events of the disappearance to me? You were able to guess that I am the kidnapper only because you have knowledge about the life fire capabilities and because you are watching the surroundings of my house day and night, no one else would have ever linked these incidents to me." The stony face showed a gentle smile, Peon pointed at the stone face and shouted, "Nonsense! Maybe this was in the beginning when you were kidnapping one to two a day. It could have been said that they left the city or died fighting with the gangs or something, but how many have you kidnapped so far? Not less than ten thousand giants, right? And they are all strong heavenly laws users as well! Your actions spread like wildfire and search teams came from everywhere to search for the cause. The wind blades and I were forced to spread a rumor about the presence of an angry ghost that hates the Azail tribe and trying to harm them! Some of them believed the story and they began to bring charlatans and wizards, and some others, are still trying to pursue you up to this moment."

"But you give them false evidence to lead them away or simply kill them..." The stone face smiled

Byun's anger calmed down a little and lowered his hand, "...I can't understand you anymore."

The stone face's eyes went slightly to the side, "...Honestly, when I heard them talking about being from the Bazuna tribe, I thought that their disappearance here would create a rift between them and the Azil tribe. I couldn't resist the idea."

"...Your hatred for the Azil tribe is rooted in your heart, but you are too smart to be blinded by this hatred. Did you know that we would help you if things got out of control? Also, you knew what we were doing to cover for you the whole time and you didn't say anything... Did you finally decide to use the help that your father sent you?" Byun was a little happy

The stone face remained silent for a bit, "...I owe you and him one." n/(o-/V/-e-)l)-b//I-/n

"Aha, so you are a stubborn little bastard..." Peon shook his head, then looked back at the stone face again, "So tell me when will you gather enough life energy to escape? I see that currently you can revive the ground around you for a kilometer and smuggle alive people underground, doesn't that mean that you can escape now? What is stopping you? If you're worried about being monitored by the Martial Emperors of the Azel tribe, I can contact Theo and set up an incident to distract them long enough for you to escape, what do you think?"

"...Yes, I can escape anytime I want, but I won't do it like this... I still have unfinished business here." The stone face spoke sternly, "Thank you again, Third Brother Peon, I may need your help again soon."

*KRRRR*

Peon stood with a stunned face as he watched the stone face disappear... unfinished business?

Is it possible that this boy is thinking about getting revenge on the Azil Tripe by himself?!
