Chapter 47: Town Lord

Ryusei asked his first question, "Are you the Lord of this Town?" The man hesitated for some moments and then nodded his head. He did so because he didn't want this unknown Assassin to kill his wife.

"Are you the real Lord or is it someone here? Nod your head if you are and shake your head if you are not." The man nodded his head and Ryusei narrowed his eyes and looked suspiciously at him.

He didn't trust him and teleported him out of the tower, then Ryusei grabbed the man and used his Lightning Flash to go away from the tower. He wanted to properly interrogate him for all the questions that were bugging from the beginning.

After they reached sufficient distance away from the tower, Ryusei asked him, "Why was Spirit Hall not able to conquer this town? You're just a mere Spirit Emperor, so how could you prevent Spirit Hall from conquering this small town?"

The man hesitated but replied in a rough voice, "I cannot tell you about this." Ryusei narrowed his eyes, he was sure that the man knew about the truth, he noticed that the man kept looking at his Ring which had a beautiful red ruby inserted in it.

Ryusei darkly chuckled as he decided to push to make him open his mouth, he said in a cold voice, "You know, your wife is quite beautiful. Many people must be jealous of you having such a beautiful wife." The Town Lord looked confused as to why was he talking about his wife all of sudden, but his expression changed when he heard what Ryusei said next.

"I think they would also like to taste her in the brothel." The Town Lord's eyes widened when he heard this and stared at him with his eyes full of hatred, he said, "Y-you are a monster. A demon!"

Ryusei chuckled darkly hearing the Town Lord call him a Demon, he said, "So, what's it gonna be? Your wife's integrity or the information I require."

The man sighed as he realized that he couldn't save himself from this predicament, he looked at Ryusei and said, "I will probably regret it later on. Alright, I will speak about the reason, why the Spirit Hall wasn't able to conquer this town?"

Ryusei became serious when he heard the Town Lord saying, "The day when the Spirit Hall sent the group of 5 Titled Douluo in the Town to conquer it. I was ready to surrender to them and ask them to let us live but on that day a strange event happened."

"Just as I was about to surrender, clouds turned dark, and a small Nether Crow which looked like it was created by a Spirit Ability descended from the sky. It radiated a incredible pressure as if a godly beast had descended from the heavens itself."

"It carried a letter within its claws and passed it to me, I read the letter which stated that the senior who sent the Godly beast, could save the town from the Spirit Hall but in return every month, we would have to supply him food and money. I immediately agreed as I didn't want this town to fall to the evil clutches of the Spirit Hall. I immediately wrote, 'I AGREE' on that letter and with that the Nether Crow flew up in the Sky and disappeared."

"Next day, we received the news that the 5 Titled Douluo all of them died mysteriously. I was shocked and happy that the letter was the truth. That day, I received another letter that instructed that to put the food and money in a cart and send it to the northern forest near town."

Ryusei narrowed his eyes and deducted, 'This guys is too cautious. He actually gave a definite direction so that if anyone would start a search, they would use their maximum forces in the Northern direction. That way he can hide his tracks and loose the searching party or kill them. And no one could be blamed for someone's deaths in the forest.'

He heard the Town Lord saying, "I even searched the whole Northern Area so that I could find him and thank him but I couldn't find any trace of him. I even asked the cart driver but he replied saying that food and the money would always mysteriously disappear from the cart after entering the forest after some time."

"After that I thought about the senior's Godlike Power and then stopped searching for him as it might have anger that Godlike lord and consequences would be unbearable. Since then, it has become the biggest secret of our Town."

Ryusei put a finger on his chin whilst thinking 'Hmm, so that guy is very powerful otherwise he won't be able to kill the 5 Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall. He probably has a large group of people for whom he requires this much Food and Money. Rather than stealing, he made a deal with the Town lord.'

'This guy wants to remain mysterious or hidden and doesn't want to reveal himself, but why? Is he scared of someone, perhaps his enemy? Is he afraid that if that person finds out about him, he won't die alone but his people will also die alongside him.'

Ryusei let out a small sigh as he brainstormed about it, he now knew that this wasn't just one person but a group or maybe a complete organization on the same level as that of the Spirit Hall and it was even more mysterious than the Spirit Hall.

But it seemed as if they had their own problems and were hiding from someone or from another organization. Ryusei sighed as he knew that this was an organization with which he couldn't join hands with because of the unknown enemy of the organization.

It would be a bad idea to become enemies with someone who even forced this mysterious person who could easily kill 5 Titled Douluo. Ryusei looked at the Town Lord and said, "I will send you back to your room now. I want this conversation to remain a secret otherwise you already know what I will do."

Town Lord was fearful of his threat and nodded hastily, Ryusei brought him back to his own room and left him in his room. He then teleported from the tower into an random alley, and removed his disguise and changed back to his normal clothes.

He, then stored away the mask and the cloak to his Spatial Belt and went returned to the inn where Rongrong was sleeping peacefully. He wanted to think carefully about the information he had regarding the mysterious expert before doing anything else…

He went inside his room and sat down on the chair beside his desk. He pulled out a paper and put it on the desk and started to write about the information he had gotten today and started to write the future plans on the paper
