The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 184 - - A Dangerous Moment [ Part 1 ]

"Let's get down."

Norfolk and the water user, directly looked at their leader in surprise.

"You're really going to believe this guy? He'll use the dirtiest trick to take us for advantage and then when Morke isn't useful anymore, he'll kill Morke." The water user, called Pitrol said.

"I know that, that's why we're going to do something before he does it." The leader said, showing a discrete look to his remaining members. Seeing it, they had to trust the man who had been leading them for a long time.

"Alright, let's talk."

The guy said as he and the others slowly touched the ground.

"Okay, that was easy. He listened quite fast, don't you think so too… Morke?" I say and whisper to my captive.

"We- Well, you have one of his, no, his most trustworthy member hostage so he has to agree." Morke said, thinking of more convincing words, "If you maybe lower your grip a bit, I will also tell them to listen, which will surely work better for you."

'Hmph! These are nothing but cold blooded killers. I just killed one of their team members and not one of them were a bit sorrow about the guy. Even if he was an asshole, I don't see how they could so blatantly ignore his death and put importance on this one.'

"Not gonna believe you there, buddy."

"oh… well, I tried." Morke said in a disappointed tone.

"But you know what you can do to make me lower my grip?"

"…what?" Morke asked, cautious. He was seeing three of everything and the sound coming from his ear seemed like someone was playing a trumpet beside them, but he didn't for a second lower his guard against Henry.

For his life was literally in his hands.

"Give your sigmat to me."

!!

"What?! Are you crazy- EMPH!" Morke stopped talking as he felt the grip around his neck tightening and bones cracking.

"Wai- Wait! Stop for a second." He said, wanting Henry to stop doing that, but he didn't stop.

"The only way I'm going to stop is when you give me the ring… besides, your friends don't seem that eager to save your ass."

Morke took a quick look and saw his team, talking amongst themselves while disregarding them. He cursed in his mind, 'Those fuckers! At least look here and s- se- see, how I'm doing.'

As he felt that his neck was about to break, Morke couldn't hold on any longer, "Alright Alright! Here take it, you conniving thief."

Morke quickly pulled off his ring and gave it to me as I smiled, "Well conniving should fit you guys for sneak attacking me."

I take a look at the ring, which had a silverish black figure with a blue rank sigmat on its top.

'Rank Blue, Fire Sigmat Get!'

…

On the other side of the field, the hit squad finally saw what happened with Morke as Norfolk said, "What is Morke doing? Is he crazy, why's he giving his sigmat ring to that guy?"

"He didn't have a choice left." His leader said.

Hearing him now Norfolk muttered, "Now he also lost his worth."

"Don't worry… I have a plan." The leader said as under his legs, small sparks of lightning buzzed.

…

"You guys ready to hear my demands?" I speak loudly as the other team sighed before nodding.

"Alright, so the first thing I want is safety. You will safely deliver me to my home and then leave without ever looking back, you got that?"

"Alright, we do." The leader said instantly, which made Morke's brow went up.

'Hmm? Why did he agree so quickly?... Does he have a plan?' Morke looked up and through his hazy eyes saw the leader looking at Henry without any aggression.

"You do?" I was a bit skeptical, but I played along, "Okay, then I have some questions."

"Ask them, I'll answer it." The leader didn't have a problem with this request as well. Actually he preferred it. Doing this meant, it will increase time, which in turn will accomplish what's he trying to do.

"Hmm… what to ask? What… to… ask?" I think for a moment before realizing one point, "Hey, tell me your name?"

"What?" The leader felt confused.

"I want to know your name? I can't just keep calling you hey or HEY!"

The leader looked silently at Henry, trying to see if he was serious or not.

"Ilon Gothray."

Color me surprised… the guy actually told me his real name.

Yeah, I knew. What do you think? I know so much about the plot and that I wouldn't know about them. Yeah, they may not be any true point characters but I know who they were.

But it was only the leader's name that I remembered. The others were too insignificant to remember.

"Ilon… tell me, who was it that contracted you to kill me?"

Norfolk and Pitrol already felt the importance of the question. It was one of the core rules of the organization that the killers, if were caught or being blackmailed, can't say the name of the contractor.

Especially when the mission was given to them with the highest of importance.

"Ilon, what should we te-"

"It was Frank Loly."

Both Norfolk and Pitrol looked at Ilon with eyes full of disbelieve. They couldn't believe that he would actually tell the name like that.

Even Morke was a bit surprised, but more than that, he believed Ilon was trying to save him. In moments of such desperation, even hardened fighters would strive to grasp the faintest hint of hope.

I nod, this was within expectations… no, this was exactly who I thought would try to kill me if things went the worst way... unfortunately it did.

"Chairman of this kingdom's Vagrant Palace, Frank Loly?"

"Chairman?" Ilon felt muddled by that. "He's not the Chairman, but the Vice-Chairman."

"Vice-Chairman!" Now, it was my turn to be surprised.

I didn't think it would be like this. In the story, it was Frank Loly who was the chairman.

But if I think about this clearly then… this is good.

So that means he still isn't as powerful as I thought.

Thinking up to this point, I remember something that made me ask, "Hey, is the Chairman still missing?"

Ilon's eyes goes wide in astonishment, 'How does he know that?'

Seeing no reason to lie, He nodded, "Yes, he still is."

'So that's why he's doing this.'

Now, the final piece of the puzzle fit my brain.

In the story, there was some mention of the past chairman. The guy apparently didn't retire but actually went missing.

There was some theory about what might have caused that. But the two strongest belief was that it was Frank Loly who had killed him or it was the Sekai Kingdom's Most Notorious Gang that did him.

But with this, I understand.

It doesn't matter who killed him, what matters now is who's going to take his place.

Surely, it would be the Vice-Chairman, right?

But right in this crucial moment of his, I barged in.

The scroll that I had with me, wasn't just about anything. It was about the about the Vagrant Palace. The scroll had detailed information about how the chairman had done unsavory things that went beyond the rules of the place.

For short, his dealing with the baldy.

No wonder why, Frank send assassins up my ass to kill me and destroy that scroll. Because if that scroll was exposed to the elders, then not only the chairman but also Frank would get punished.

Because he still wasn't the chairman yet, the elders wouldn't think twice before suspecting him and killing him in the process to wipe away everything.

'Damn… I messed up this time.'
