Chapter 124 Order To Kill!
"That's more the reason to choose him so that I could climb the ladder from the bottom until I reach my target," Bobby replied, making a confident smile as if their conversation just now had clarified his reasoning.
"Still, that guy Hunk is planning something. Don't you want to know?" Cynthia asked.
In the meantime, Hunk kept walking deep into the forest of the island, stopping only after reaching the foot of a tall volcanic mountain after several hours of walking.
He then took out a scanning device that looked like a golden totem of an angel with a pair of redwings and started scanning around the forest and finally shut it off after confirming that no one was within the 13 square miles of him.
After that, he reached his hand into his pants and took out a tiny square-shaped black cube from his crotch region and then started infusing his grace energy into the device and halted, finally when it dazzled with white light.
"Connect a line to the family head," Hulk said, glancing at the glowing cube, which was currently levitating in the air.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Within seconds, a beam of light flashed out from the glowing cube, forming a 3D hologram screen and a handsome youth with colorful dresses appeared on it standing on the ground.
Just after the youth materialized, Hunk knelt on the ground with one knee touching and greeted, showing his complete subservience to the man. "Greetings, Lord Brooke Tempest!"
"Okay, stand up, then." The man waved his hand, and continued, saying after Hunk stood straight. "Now you can tell the reason for you to contact me using this emergency line?"
The noble-looking man standing before was the family head of the Tempest Clan, one of the prominent, thriving clans in this world. And also the father of the official wife of the head of the Bradworth family.
The haughtiness that was deeply ingrained in Hunk's eyes when he faced Captain Shiko evaporated completely and was replaced by only obedience and politeness, and he reported. "Sir, I have some urgent news regarding Captain Shiko and that bastard Loki...."
The 3D projected image of Lord Brooke Tempest walked toward him and trotted around him and said. "Alright, I'm listening."
"Sir, these few months Captain Shiko seems to forget about whose side he is currently following… Then he began grooming Loki and there are many cases of him giving privileges the part about torturing stuff seems to be forgotten and he even started questioning me when I punished him." The hunk started reporting with a lot of exaggerations.
He continued, "Moreover, he even allowed that boy to run our investigation and when I pleaded with him politely to change his mind, he had gone crazy and challenged even the Bradworth Clan and the Winchester clan warning us and even got physical kicking me out of the conference room after learning I was at his camp to check on him and that idiot."
Lord Brooke Tempest's frown deepened as he heard him say that, but he did not believe everything he was saying. He walked toward the glowing black cube floating in the air, touched it with his index finger, and instructed, saying. "Show me all the hidden footage captured today!"
Just after that, the glowing black cube hummed and flashed out multiple-beam of light showing a lot of video images in the air.
"M-my lord, this!" surprise took Hunk and his forehead started sweating profusely and he thought in his head with a nervous expression shown over his face: 'Fuck! I'm totally screwed and all this time, this black cube has been recording everything I have been doing until now.'
He then suddenly knelt on the ground and said, panicking with tears and snot. "Forgive me. Please spare me, my lord. I have committed a sin by embezzling some of the money means for the mission and—"
"Shut up and stand there still… Do you really think I don't have any of that? Forget about it…" Lord Brooke Tempest glared at him once and turned his attention to thousands and thousands of images that had been recorded today and added, berating him. "You are only breathing because your father sacrificed himself to save me long ago... Don't take it for granted to continue stealing from the clan, okay?"
"Thank you, sir. For sparing my life. I promise nothing like this will happen in the future again." Huck said as he wiped his tears and snot with his sleeves.
"Then can you shut up now?" Lord Brooke Tempest touched on some video footage and started observing.
Having spent two hours watching the multiple video footage, he finally clicked on the footage of Hunk being sent flying from the conference room.
After he finished that video, he thought as he eyed Hunk. 'Exactly as I thought. This boy is nothing like his valiant father. It's good that I gave this Heather Black box to him. But the point is that the bastard named Loki is growing and becoming more and more brilliant recently. Hmph, that amount of pure Grace energy inside his body is literally something I have never seen for a boy his age. And Captain Shiko, for your decision, you need to pay using your life this time. Do you really think you are dealing with the Bradworth clan or the Winchester clan?.. It was after me who framed you and instigated the two families to go with my plans… This time, I have no use for you anymore.'
He then looked at Hunk and gave his order. "Hunk, you are right. The bastard-son of the slave and this ungrateful Captain Shiko…. You must have known that the bastard is growing rapidly in his strength and seeing that even Shiko groomed him.. If this continues, then perhaps we will face a greater foe in the future… So I gave you my word. Kill this bastard once for all and come back home.
"I understand, sir…. As soon as I finish my mission here, I'll be on my way... But how do I escape from the hunt of Captain Shiko? And I'm sure that he'll never let me go if he finds out that I killed someone from his camp." Hunk said with a pleading look plastered on his face.
"Hey, nothing will happen to you." The 3D image of Lord Brooke Tempest walked closer to him and said while pointing at the glowing black cube floating in the air. "Listen carefully, Hunk…. This device is called Heather Black Box. There is a unique feature called teleportation in one of its functions…" Then he hushed in his air and said, "This is the one-time password to activate that feature…. Did you memorize it? "
Hunk nodded his head readily.
"You can't screw this one, okay? Or I'll lose my conscience to meet your father's grave anymore…. Recite the password to me?" Lord Brooke Tempest reminded him carefully and asked him to repeat the password to make sure that he had memorized it.
Hulk bent his head toward him and whispered something to him.
"No, you fool! If you recite that to unlock the feature, then you are as good as dead here… " said Lord Brooke Tempest..
Three more times he tried, but he became more and more frustrated as Hunk became worse at memorizing the password.
He screamed in his head with frustration, "Screw this! This is going nowhere. If this keeps going, I might go nuts and kill him. Should I leave him here to die on his own?... Nah! It doesn't matter to me ??he's brainless. He's still useful to me."
Lord Brooke Tempest walked toward the cube and tapped multiple times all around the six surfaces and said, looking at the muscular man called Hunk. "Alright, Hunk, forget everything. I'll put some change instructions to it… When you are ready to leave this place, just called my name three times and the feature will open itself, okay?"
"Okay, I might forget my name, but I will never forget the good name of my lord," Hulk replied, sulking up to him.
"Whatever? If you even my name, then you can just die on this isolated island… I have some more meetings to attend." Lord Brooke Tempest said briskly and cut his line. And then the floating black cube stopped glowing, moved toward Hulk, and landed on his hands.
"Hahaha… Now, I can finally kill that pest." Hulk laughed and walked back in the castle's direction.
Somewhere inside the thick bush, Bobby was still sitting cross-legged on the branch of the same tree.
"A person who can hardly remember even a few sentences, and someone sending him to spy on a military unit, especially on Captain Shiko... Are they kidding me? That's ridiculous. " He spat.
"Eh, you don't see the point here this time…. It really wasn't his job to memorize anything, anyway; his job was to look after them and just report their activities." Cynthia corrected.
"Anyway, the thing is moving much faster than I expected, which is good for me," said Bobby.
