Orion (The Hunter)

Stupid Reason

" So is it true that this master and miss lady brought news of the noble Frendick ?" ask one of the elders named Zuan.

Rigel and the others nodded except for Orion. From starting to go in and sit here Orion felt something was making him reluctant to speak. Orion looked one by one at the elders in front of him. There was nothing wrong with them but somehow Orion felt dislike for it.

" Yes kam.." before Rigel spoke Orion immediately gripped Rigel's shoulder tightly. If you look at it maybe Orion just put his hand down but who knows if Rigel holds his breath in pain because of that.

Orion leaned toward Rigel and whispered softly. " The plan changed."

Rigel looked at Orion confused. Why did Orion arrive asking their plans to change instantly in such a sudden state. But even so Rigel still follow Orion's wishes because here he is the chairman.

Orion let go of his grip and sat back leaning back as before. In Orion's heart asked where the faults of the five elders lay to draw his instincts to stay away from them.

" Ahem ! We did know about the Frendick royals." Rigel tries to speak seriously under Orion's supervision. His friend was just talking about a changed plan without telling him what it would change in any way. That's why Rigel now has to think hard to find a reason to change their plans that are changed suddenly.

" Then do you know the whereabouts of the Frendick noble ?" ask They.

Rigel shook his head. " We only know that there's someone from this country who knows where to eat Frendick's nobles."

" You mean ?" Zuan asked with a frown on his wrinkled forehead.

" We.., that's all we know. Someone from your country keeps the Frendick family's grave who doesn't know what the purpose is." Rigel clenched his hand holding in doubt. The reason this sounds swirling. Rigel even doubted those elders would believe it or not.

" And from you know about it. Can you tell if the guy's just cheating ?" the elder named Qian asked.

You're Rigel, the inner. What other reason should he say. His head began to throb pain from thinking this.

" We have a pretty famous bar in country Z. Even though ours was not the first largest but ours was quite elite so many famous people came to visit. We learned it was by accident to hear that person was going to auction the tomb of the noble Frendick at a very expensive price." Orion spoke fluently that made his friend hang instantly.

" Why would that person do such a thing ?" elder Moun asked with a face holding in anger.

Orion straightened his body and chuckled at the elders in front of him. " For what else but to leave your country with a lot of money. Not insulting but look at the current state of your country that is much different from other countries."

" Why do you want to help us ?"

Orion turned to look at the elder named Wuan and shrugged his shoulders indifferently then leaned back lazily on his seat. " Pity may be, we often travel business to this country and feel interested to just help. At the same time we want to look for new experiences because the regulations in Z country are so strict. I don't know, we also don't know why we want to help those of you who we don't know" he said without thinking.

...*****...

" Mister can we trust you ?" ask Zuan.

" Don't ask us but ask yourself whether you think we can be trusted or not" Orion replied.

" Are they going to believe this stupid excuse we just made, Rion ?" ask Rigel whisper.

Orion confidently nodded his head. " Of course, because they're more stupid than us." she whispered.

Rigel was stunned to hear it. His eyes looked at Orion without blinking until a moment just stopped and sat back quietly without speaking anything more.

Orion who saw that smiled amusedly. How else do you want ? In fact Orion himself is not sure of the reason he said originally. But if he says that to Rigel. Orion believes the theme must have just left without saying another word and that could have ruined their plans.

Orion regretted being too confident that his people could be trusted. But he was wrong, seeing how the eyes of the elders were like sycophants made Orion think again. Fortunately, his instincts were so sharp that Orion had not had time to open his mask and show his face.

Now Orion must find out who the person who has made his instincts work arrived which makes him feel alert. Is that the elders or one of them ?.

Because from the moment Orion met so many people he didn't feel anything. It was very different when Orion met the elders.

" Bellatrix, Mintaka, Alnilam, Alnitak, you share the milk and meat that we have brought to the people in front. Make sure everyone gets their share." Orion spoke softly without looking back.

" Good."

It was Bellatrix's voice before Orion heard the sound of a step away from behind her.

" It looks like you found something Rion" Saiph said.

Orion nodded his head and whispered towards Saiph. " Filater candidate."

Saiph used his head to understand and sat quietly without speaking again when he saw that the elders seemed to have finished discussing.

" We will trust you. So can you explain the character traits of that person so that we can find him in this country ?" ask They.

" Brown hair, black eyes, tall body, and mature brown skin, the last of which he is a man. The rest we don't know." Orion said in a reassuring voice.

Next to him Rigel and Saiph wanted to clap at how clever Orion was lying to convince the elders. If they had not grown up together from childhood, they might have been deceived by Orion's words. Fortunately, Orion always speaks reality without being covered in a mask named Hansen.

" Well, we'll find the guy. Thank you for telling us, sir. This information is very useful to us and once again we thank you. If we can we would like to grant your request as a sign of our gratitude" Zuan said.

" Request ?" ask Orion who is interested.

Elder Zuan nodded his head. " If we could be sir."

"Well, we'll think about it later." Orion smiled cunningly behind his mask. Request, Orion liked the name to launch his plan later.
