RANIAKU, MY CANDLE

Chapter 71

After airing for almost 1 hour, the helicopter we were riding finally landed on the top of Mount Moza. I went to meet the man named Master Li accompanied by William and Morgan.

I came here not to be unaccompanied by Morgan, why? Because we are afraid of wrong people. Moreover, William and I have never seen what Master Li actually looks like.

At the top of Mount Moza there stands a simple house whose main material is made of white-painted wood board. Really a simple house, even more similar to the homes of people in the countryside.

"Morgan, is that really his house?" I asked when we both set foot on the ground.

"Looks like that, sir," replied Morgan.

"You sure?" ask again.

"Yes, sir, I'm sure. As far as I know, Master Li lives here alone."

"Is it true alone? Was he not afraid of any beasts?" ask again.

Morgan smiled. "Know me this place is safe, sir. Not that just now when we were in the air, we could all see clearly that there were so many buildings under there. Only the buildings on the top of this mountain are alone."

The three of us walked over to the wooden house. From a very close distance, we could all see clearly that the door of the house was locked.

"It looks like the house is being abandoned by its occupants. We're really not at the wrong address, are we, Morgan?" my friend, wanted to make sure. The feeling since we set foot on this mountain, I asked so many questions.

"I believe very well that the place and the house belong to Master Li, Master. All I have known for a long time is, that Master Li secluded himself at the top of Mount Moza. Well, now where we set foot here is the top of Mount Moza, and the only house on the top of this mountain is that house" Morgan explained.

"It looks like Morgan's right, sir. It's possible that Master Li is out for a while," William said.

The three of us went in and sat on the porch, waiting for the owner to return home. However, it had been almost an hour we waited, but there had been no sign that the owner would return. I who was not used to waiting started to get nervous.

"Ck, why so long?" I said as I got up from my seat. I'm so tired of sitting here and waiting. Now the clock has set the time at 12 noon but the owner of the house has not returned.

What William meant by 'the ones who preceded us' were Johan's men.

William's words surprised me. If it is true like that, it means, Master Li has already fallen into Johan's hands, and if Master Li has already fallen in Johan's hands, that means, I just have to get ready to accept my defeat.

"No, we can't panic. Let's just wait until Master Li gets home, maybe now he's on his way here" Morgan said.

10 Minutes.

30 Minutes.

1 Hour.

Up to 2 hours later, what we were waiting for did not appear.

"Well when do we wait, Morgan? We've been here 3 hours. Is this really the place?" my spoken.

"I'm really sorry, sir. I didn't know it was going to be like this, making you wait a very long time" Morgan said. The man looked down while showing a guilty face.

"Master, there are only two possibilities. Master Li is down the mountain or maybe he has been forcibly taken by the Black Mamba herd" William said.

Prangs!

Suddenly there was a sound of broken stuff inside the house.
