Rina and Rin came out from inside the kitchen with some dishes that Rina made and Lily finally walked down from the upstairs room with some clothes on. Everyone sat down to have a meal and Han finally asked them where the hell Gregory was. Han expected to see him with Esteroth but he hasn’t seen him at all.
Esteroth told Han that Gregory went with Rau to look into a problem on the lower floors. Gregory didn’t tell Esteroth what the problem was so Esteroth can’t tell Han anything about it. Han was a bit surprised by this. Gregory was handling a matter all by himself. And the fact that Gregory wasn’t telling Esteroth what it was about means that Gregory wanted this to be his own achievement alone! Not bad. Seems like Gregory is growing up and he doesn’t want to be just my right hand anymore.
Han respected Gregory’s decision to do this on his own, but Han decided he will talk to Gregory later with his shadow hunters and ask him what he was up to. It might be dangerous if it is a matter that involved the Celestials so I have to know just in case. I won’t interfere if he asks me to stay away. But I still want to know just to be on the safe side.
“Esteroth, once we’re done here call all the other kings. We’re having a quick meeting at your castle before I can do anything else,”
Esteroth nodded his consent to Han’s command.
“Oh my God!! This is amazing!! Who made this!?”
Gretha yelled out in happiness once she tasted the meat that Rina made for her. Rina smiled happily and waved at Gretha. Gretha turned to Rina with stars in her eyes!
“You made this! It’s amazing! The only thing I could eat up there were either monsters that were only partially cooked with fire-based skills! This is better than any dish in my world! It’s amazing!”
Han just chuckled at her. She might be an idiot, but she could liven up the room at least. After breakfast was done, Han kissed his wives goodbye and told them that he would be back for dinner. He has to meet with the other king and make sure things were going well in the Temple. Han also told Rin to look after Gretha for him. Gretha complained that she didn’t need to stay back and she wanted to come with him! She doesn’t need to be taken care of like a child! But Han just pulled her ear and Gretha yelled while agreeing immediately! I’ll stay! I’ll stay!!
Han left the restaurant and flew with Esteroth toward his castle. Esteroth already sent out the summons for all the kings before he and Han left the restaurant so they were all waiting for Han when he came around. Han was wearing a simple white shirt and white trousers and the kings were all surprised when they saw him because none of them could sense his power anymore! None of them even knew he was back because there was no way for them to sense him! He seemed like a normal human but it was obvious that he was not normal! They all knew that Han was just too strong for them to notice his power!
Immediately Han sat down, the first person he looked toward was Ratte and the double agent squeaked a little from the intense attention! Ratte didn’t like being the center of attention at all and this was just making him nervous! Han spoke in a calm, commanding voice.
“What news do you have about the celestials? Have there been any movement recently?”
Ratte shook his head quickly. He has been meeting with Yggrain as usual recently but there still hasn’t been any news about the celestial plane.
“The last thing I overheard from one of the celestials that were around during the meeting was that there was some trouble in one of the territories. I think they said it was the Xian territory or something. But I don’t think that is important. The Xians aren’t that important because even a regular white star can handle one of them on his own,”
Ratte waved his hand dismissively as he said this and he looked towards Han to see if Han had any more questions. Han was deep in thought as he heard about the Xians. Han knew that he was the reason why the Xian territory was in trouble. He caused some serious trouble in that territory and they’ve probably branded him as public enemy number one. I killed their leader, I killed the heir to the leader and I even killed hundreds of Xians. Yeah, they must think I’m the devil.
“Well, since there aren’t any issues with the Celestials, for now, tell me the issues here. Let’s hash things out since I need to be in the lab soon,”
Ai stood up and she spoke.
“There has been an increase in the monster migration towards the occupied floors under us. It seems that some of the monsters are starting to get agitated and they are now looking for more food…”
The meeting went on like this for almost five hours. Han listened to everything that was happening and he tried to see if any of them were even slightly related to the celestials. Thankfully, none of the issues were serious enough that he would think that a celestial should be involved in it. The only issue that Han was still going to look into again was the issue with the Alcatraz guild that came back. Han was told by Argo, the tenth king, that Gregory went to the lower floors exactly because of this issue so Han could just ask Gregory about it.
Han thanked all of them and then he let them leave so that he could go to the lab Yuuma was working at. Han flew across the ninetieth floor and he used his x-ray vision to look around for the lab! Esteroth told Han that Yuuma used some Celestial technology to hide her lab because it would be bad if the Celestials find out about her work! That means that her lab has the same sort of protection that Paladin’s lab should have. But even with that sort of protection, it was nothing for Han! Han could find the lab easily because of how high the level of his special eyes was!
[Almighty Overseer] has been activated!
Han activated his special eyes once he got to the location that Esteroth told him about and he grinned when he saw a large structure come into view! It was barely visible with his special eyes so that means that the protection that Yuuma put on it was extremely high! If it isn’t Han, it would be almost impossible for anyone to see the lab!
Han flew down and passed through the protection to get to the door of the lab.
…..
The inside of the lab was a large complex maze of different hallways and rooms. Yuuma had her own lab where she was busy working on a large weapon that would help with the war when the intruder alarm suddenly went off! Red light blared everywhere and the sounds of screams echoed outside the lab! Yuuma stood up quickly and made her way outside! She knew what that alarm was! But she didn’t know how any enemy could find this place! It was expertly hidden! Yuuma made sure to tell Esteroth that no one should come to the lab without telling her so that she will know if there is a problem! But Esteroth didn’t tell her that anyone was coming so that means that this person might be an enemy!
Yuuma quickly made her way to the security room to take a look at who it was that was outside and she blinked in shock once she saw Han standing outside the lab door and waving at the camera like he was looking right at her! A beautiful smile bloomed on Yuuma’s face and she raced out of the room faster than anyone could keep up with!
