Chapter 116 Chessboard Already Flipped?

Brustiar was having a headache trying to find his wife. He even saw her last night and spent a great time with her to relieve his stress.

But when he woke up today, he was nowhere to be seen, and he asked everyone just to get negative answers.

He didn't want to make a scene first, so he called his only friend, Gravitar, to have a talk with him.

Gravitar's face also darkened after he heard everything. "Did she leave on her own or…"

"Or what? Say whatever you have in your mind." Brustiar looked at Gravitar with wide-open eyes.

Gravitar looked at his friend's worried face and blurted out. "You even felt her warmth early in the morning, right?"

Brustiar nodded his head as he looked at his friend for asking such a weird question.

"With the years of knowledge that I gained spending time with you, I can tell you didn't care about where my sister-in-law went; instead, you were thinking of completing the task sent by the ancestors. With that in mind, someone could have kidnapped….sister-in-law easily." Gravitar went silent after making his guess.

Brustiar just looked at Gravitar dumbfoundedly. "You know you are bad at making guesses, and the one you just made sounds stupid. Also, if I just believe for a moment what you just said is true, then that means the one who kidnapped my wife was the….ancestors themselves."

"Yes, Yes." Gravitar nodded his head, feeling happy that for the first time, his friend finally got his big brain analogy. "Just think about it. The ancestors also told you to get a girl for the guests. Maybe they fooled you to waste time, knowing you wouldn't kidnap a girl, and they kidnapped my sister-in-law in the meantime to fill up the spot."

Brustiar had a hard time believing such things. Because why would the ancestors even do that? And one of them was his father, so how in his presence could he even let that happen?

Brustiar felt Gravitar was spewing nonsense again. He grabbed Gravitar's arm and pulled him away. "Let's leave, the guest will be arriving in a while. I have sent a bunch of men to search for her."

…

IceFire Clan.

Gale was currently inside Julie's room, completing his daily work.

"It is done. I think I can remove it by tomorrow." Gale said after casually wiping away the ice from his body.

Despite the curse being weakened, it was still able to inflict the same amount of pain on her every day.

But Julie had grown a little resistant to it. So she didn't also damage Gale as much as in earlier times. Julie covered her naked body slowly while peeking at Gale's face to see if he was looking at her or not. Gale didn't put on his mask when he was inside Julie's room, so Julie was able to see his actual face.

Unfortunately, Gale still didn't seem to look at her with lust. He did, however, and those eyes were filled with appreciation. She silently contemplated, putting on her clothes. 'Does she not find me as sexy as his women? Why does he only look at his women with lust? Will he never be attracted to me?'

"Hey, Miss Julie. Do you know about the latest events that are taking place in this town?" All of a sudden, Gale's voice entered her ears, bringing her back to her senses.

Julie gave a fake cough, then resumed her cold and authoritarian look. She said it casually. "Yes, all kinds of news get reported to me just after it happens."

"Oh, as expected of Miss Julie, always caring about important things." Gale praised her with a smile, which brought a slight smirk to her face.

Gale said it with embarrassment. "May I know what happened? You see, I can get these myself, but I was busy working at home yesterday."

However, Julie also got embarrassed, as her face flushed a little thinking about the kind of work he was doing the entire day. 'How can he do that for so long!?'

Julie quickly tossed those away as Gale was looking at her with an eager expression, like he was desperate to know what actually happened outside. She didn't wait for him any longer and hit him with the PoisonFire Clan's army stationed inside the forest.

"Ehh..interesting…so interesting.." Gale mumbled to himself as he was able to guess what the Ragingwave ancestors had already guessed.

'It is indeed interesting." Julie neglected Gale's weird mumbles, as she felt it was something to be very curious and interested about.

"Anything more?" Gale asked again, as he felt there could not be just one simple thing.

Julie pondered for a few seconds and tried to search for news that was noteworthy. Then something popped into her mind that she felt was attention-grabbing. She said. "I heard some guests will be coming to the Burnheart Family and they decorated their mansion in a festive-like manner."

Gale became confused as he squinted his eyes to think of guests' arrival in the town. 'No, there is none. Who is this guest? Why didn't I find this information on any of the Burnheart Family members? Even the patriarch, Brustiar, didn't seem to worry about this guest's arrival. They are doing festive-like decoration, it has to be big….'

'Huh, I seem to have read these guest arrivals on the guys I killed yesterday.' All the information he read on Amelia's and others' statuses came flooding into his mind.

The entire organization he wiped out yesterday had some little information here and there. But from the clues he got, he knew the shady thing, like kidnapping, was for the guests they would be welcoming. He wouldn't be completely sure if he didn't meet the Burnheart trio at the end. That confirmed his suspicion.

Julie looked at Gale, who was laughing to himself and couldn't help but ask. "What happened? Why are you laughing at yourself?"

"I think I can guess what kind of guests Burnhearts will be welcoming," Gale said with a grin on his face.

"Oh, would you care to tell me?" Julie asked curiously.

"Of course, how can I not say these to you? You are someone very close to me." This unexpected flirting made Julie blush heavily, but Gale didn't care and said the rest with a big smirk. "The guests will be some troublesome folks that will totally flip the chessboard."
