The Dragon Soul Forging

73. Pursuit

Amid the festivities, several people in black robes came out of the police station and immediately headed outside the wall.

One of the robed prang stared at the city before exiting the gate, the flames of hatred blazing in his eyes angering him back.

“After I return with my brother, this city will turn to ashes.”

Said Jiecie who was filled with grudges for having experienced one such agonizing day. The failure of the mission also made him have to bear severe punishment from the organization.

“Nona we have to leave immediately. No one knows the person who managed to beat you will come back or not.”

Receiving a warning from his subordinates, Jiecie immediately left the city of Sawi. Their departure was witnessed by a young man and four girls beside him.

They had been monitoring Jiecie's movements from the silk tower since she left the police station and exited the wall.

“They go.” said Raya, the wind blowing hard makes her hair messy.

“Semu people saw it clearly Raya.” replied Budi, who immediately got a giggle from Raya.

“Then how now? Are we going to talk about that woman and the traitors just leaving?.” Yuki seemed to not want to let the members of the Gamprit organization get away with it.

“Or we can catch them again?.”

“But that will not ignite the anger of the most dangerous organization on Java?.”

After the girl faced a dilemma. They did not want to let such a dangerous person leave the city with such great hatred that they intended to destroy the city someday.

“No matter what happens, they will still come.”

Budi's statement in an instant turned the girls' dilemma into fear. They thought it impossible to win against a large organization of Gamprit's class.

Although the city may rely on the Hunters. But in front of a fully armed force, there would be nothing Hunter could do.

“Do not worry, enjoy saha party. Leave the security of the city to me.” said Budi who wants to follow Jiecie.

Raya and Yuki could not do anything at the moment, they could only rely on Budi as the supervisor and security of Sawi city.

They fully believe that Budi can solve any problem that stands in his way.

Do it all, not without reason. He wanted to have some influence in the city for his future plans.

The shop he helped him to get a lot of Monster stones that were very useful, and also to master the weapon market in the city of Sawi.

While the city walls and power plants that he would later build, they were all forms of investment. Imagine the benefits that can be obtained from power plants that you manage yourself.

The wider the wall, the more citizens who can live in the city of Sawi. Then as more and more people settle down, energy needs increase.

All of that will certainly provide benefits for Budi who becomes the owner of the power plant.

Budi follows Jiecie's group, but he is not alone because Liliana follows him. The girl already said if she just wanted to see.

Arriving in the suburbs, they found Gamprit members waiting beside the car.Budi noticed if those waiting in the car showed a tattoo on his arm.

Seeing the tattoo, Jiecie and four of his colleagues opened the hood to show their faces to the pickers.

Noticing the tattoo he had previously seen, he thought it might just be a symbol of the Gamprit organization, or a certain symbol that indicates the status of the tattoo owner within the organization.

“It gave me the idea to develop the Teapot Legion guild in the future.” Budi muttered.

Everyone got into the car including Ferdinand and Ridwan, they did not intend to return to the city of Sawi because they already knew what would happen after a woman named Jiecie was rescued.

The Gamprit organization has sent one of their branch children, Genk The Daki, to attack the city of Sawi. Given how brutal Genk was, the traitors felt there was no hope for the city.

“So what are your plans?.” asked Liliana when she saw the car that was taking Jiecie away.

“Ferdinand once invited me to join the Gamprit organization, and two told me that Genk The Daki was watching over the province from the city of Jati.”

Liliana said she once suspected her father had links to the Gamprit organization but she was less convinced due to a lack of evidence.

But after seeing Ferdinand who looked so familiar with Jiecie and his partner made Liliana even more convinced if her conjecture was correct.

‘Is Ferdinand actually an agent of that organization who was sent to serve father?.’ Liliana had so many questions in mind.

But the pat on his back made him conscious.

“We will stop them.” said Budi.

“But they already...” Liliana's words came to a halt when she saw the horse with the reddish skin already under the tree where they were lurking.

Budi immediately jumped off the branch and landed on Pushrank's back. “You want to come?.” ask Liliana. “Sure.” Liliana jumped and landed in Budi's lap.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

“Nona Lilian,”

“Ya?”

“Can I ask you out on a date?”

Liliana only laughed a little in response. He then corrected his sitting position. Now Liliana sat behind Budi.

After all is ready, Budi immediately pulled the reins chasing the car that began to leave the city of Sawi.

“I'm very expensive.”

“Oh really?.”

I heard the giggling voice of the woman behind him. If he was alone he would feel he was being followed by a kuntilanak. But she was grateful to know it was the sound of Liliana's laughter.

Liliana was very surprised to see the speed of the horse running, as if she was riding a sports car with a high speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour.

But strangely Liliana did not feel the pounding of the horse's legs, as if the horse was walking on a cloud.

In the middle of the dark night without the slightest influence Budi controlled his horse very well, as if he could see the streets like daylight.

Behind Liliana continued to stare at the young man's face which was covered with bandages.

“What's wrong with your eyes?.” asked Liliana curiously. “I think potions can restore a lost limb, right?. Is it possible that you know me for just ‘Gaya’?.”

Liliana recalls some Hunters deliberately injuring their faces to make them look more sad and intimidating.

“Unlike that, actually my left eye has the ability to see through.” Budi said honestly, hearing that Liliana's eyes were immediately wide.

“Raya who knew it immediately asked me to cover it, she said peeking was disrespectful.” Budi explained.

“And what it works?.” Liliana's face begins to turn Red.

“Actually no, I can still see very clearly even though this cloth is blocking.”

Liliana was so burnt, her face became similar to a boiled crab skin. But he didn't look angry at all.

“What do you see of me?.” he asked timidly.

“Tato.. I saw a very beautiful tattoo under your belly button.”

There was nothing else that Liliana asked. The situation became silent for a moment, but suddenly Budi felt the two hands of the girl behind him begin to hug his hips, Liliana hugged tightly until Budi felt the chest of the girl clinging to his back.
