THE LORD OF THE OTHER WORLD

Chapter 13: The Research Mission

"Boss, can we talk for a second? There's actually something I want to ask you," Luka said.

"If it has nothing to do with the mission, you better not bother me, Luka. Remember, our purpose is here because you have given us the confidence to complete this important task. Don't make unnecessary messes, because I don't want to disappoint my Master."

Luka was at a loss for words, she fell silent as she cursed the man beside her from inside her mind. "It's important you say? Don't you look more like a messenger now? I know better because all this time I've been acting on your orders, Boss." Then he looked at the leader with a frustrated face.

"This is more important than the mission itself!" luka said with a slightly raised tone, she also changed her expression to be more serious than before. This time he was no longer joking.

"Alright, just talk enough" Hawk said, focusing on staking out the two drunken warriors.

Currently both are in a position to lurk from the outside of the glass. Observe and wait for the right moment to get the two soldiers who were sipping their drinks inside the bar. Moving on to the previous time, Luka always bothers Hawk along the way, trying to ask questions but Hawk always ignores them. However, some more time this would be a determination, considering their location was now already in the outermost area of the market, if he could not catch the two soldiers, he would disappoint his master.

Hawk doesn't want to fail on his mission, he doesn't want Luka to keep hampering his work. He had to listen to what the man wanted to say. Regardless of what Luka would say later, she really did not care.

"Then I'll start." For a moment Luka took a deep breath and opened her throat. "Boss, after a long time following you, I clearly know a lot about you. You've helped us survive the famine, given us shelter, saved us from despair, and treated us like a family ...."

"Just get to the point."

"Ah yes, sorry I had a little doubt about you now, Hawk. I mean, it's not that you suddenly decided to serve that mysterious child, it's just that you're still a Hawk I know? Hawk who still cares about our lives bandits? You even hurt Bulg before!"

"You're questioning something unnecessary, Luka. The Hawk you know is still me, nothing has changed. It's just that now I'm no longer the one who will be in charge of you. And as for Bulg, he's lucky enough to have the trust of my lord. Remember, serving my Lord is an honor." Hawk momentarily smiled towards Luka in an unusual manner. However, shortly after seeing the two soldiers coming out of the bar building, Hawk immediately left from where he had been.

On the other hand, Luka was still speechless when Hawk had already taken a few steps ahead. He was still digesting the words that the bandit leader had just uttered. He still couldn't believe it, he wondered to himself. Could it be that he had just been hallucinating? Is it true that Hawk just said that serving an unknown child was an honor for him? Since when does a haughty man seem to be so submissive as a baby?

"Among Queen Ember and her sister Princess Juleaha, who do you think is more enchanting?"

The soldier dropped his friend lazily. The sound of impact was heard, quite sure it was very loud and painful for the thick man, but at all he did not look worried, instead the mustache soldier threw an annoyed look.

"Oh shit, this is gonna take a lot of time! I'd rather just leave it here" said the soldier, looking around. After finding out in that place there was no one else, other than the two of them, the soldier heaved a sigh of relief. He basically intended to leave behind the fat soldier who was currently lying on the ground.

"Jimmy, you're a good friend of mine. Where are you going? Oh yeah, thank you for taking me for a really good ale." The fat soldier suddenly grabbed the friend's leg and made the soldier named Jimmy could not go to escape.

"Release Fatty! I mean, Shane. Let me go for a minute to buy you a hangover cure" Jimmy said with a fake smile on his face. After some time passed and he felt that his friend did not want to let go of his strong grip, he continued, "I promise to return soon after getting it, so let's let Shane go! I really won't leave you alone here, aren't we friends?"

"You're right, we're friends. I finally have a friend!"

"Give once, release! Before I kick your ass!"

"No, don't go. Just accompany me ...."

There was a ridiculous sight between the two soldiers. Hawk who was hiding behind the wall immediately hinted to Luka to prepare. It is time for them to act! The wound nodded and sharpened his eyebrows.

"Oh God, I'm saved! You two, come over here and help me get it off!"

The soldier smiled and waited for the arrival of two figures of people who were walking towards him. This time Jimmy was completely confident, feeling that luck was on his side. He was so confident that the two people would definitely help him. How not? By wearing the full outfit typical of soldiers like this, anyone would definitely respect him. Many people were vying to make a connection with him, hoping to obtain a position as a new soldier through a recommendation from him. Well unless the two people ahead there are just fools missing a golden opportunity to get his attention.

"Hey, you ...."
