Chapter 419: Is It A Torture Room?

A carriage was hurling towards its next destination.

Inside it, Alex and Riya sat observing the outside scenery.

They were accompanied by Johnson and five other people.

Max and Aeon have been left in the Lunar city and were ordered to look for the information that came in handy.

They were on their way to Arlington but before that, they needed to make a halt to deal with a certain noble.

Their carriage entered Oxhelm city ruled by a noble household of Count Gray.

The person in charge of places filled with scum. All the cities under him had been ruled by syndicates that hoarded people and filled Count Gray's treasury.

"Alex, I think we two should just sneak in and take him out. Why are we wasting so much time here?" Riya asked with confusion.

"Count Gray seemed to be corrupt and shady. Even in the bad times of Arkham, he is accusing the Emperor and tries to seek trouble with him."

"His behaviour raises many questions and yeah there are a bunch of them," Alex spoke.

"Isn't it Arkham's problem, why are you interfering with it," Riya asked, raising her brows.

Alex chuckled seeing Riya's expression.

"Do you remember the person who came to kill us?"

Riya frowned and her eyes became cold as soon as Alex mentioned the name.

"He clearly said that he had two tasks. One was to kill me and another was to get rid of Noah and his men"

"And who could hire them?"Alex asked.

"Are you saying that the nobles that are opposing and trying to rebel, may have been the ones to do this?"

"Maybe or maybe not?" Alex rubbed his chin and said"Count Gray was just a suitable target we stumbled upon. Since we are here I wanted to take a look."

"Even if they are not behind this, they may have a connection with that secret organisation."

Riya stared at Alex's grim expression.

She knew just what organisation he was referring to.

For the past year, they have been searching for it but they weren't able to find much because their means of communication were quite secretive and no one who had ever visited knew about their headquarters.

It was even odd that people make deals with an organisation without knowing anything.

Even the Magic Tower had a hard time dealing with the scrolls used by this organisation.

Knock...Knock...

Alex was snapped out of his thoughts by Johnson's tap on the glass pane.

"We are here."

Alex nodded and stood up.

"Riya you will be staying here."

"What? Why?" Riya asked irritably.

"It's better if you fight less from now on. I want you to recuperate and get used to controlling your powers. So you are forbidden from using it until I say." Alex spoke with a stern look.

Seeing her disheartened look, Alex shook his head with a smile and kissed her forehead.

"Forgive me, My Queen, I am saying this for your good."

Alex walked out after calming Riya and looked at the biggest mansion in the centre of the City.

"Be careful," Johnson advised.

"Take care of Riya and don't let her fight if you encounter something," Alex ordered and his silhouette disappeared.

...….

Somewhere in the Gray's Mansion.

A man walked through the tunnel filled with darkness and after emerging from it, he took a look around himself.

He was now in a passageway of an ancient-looking structure.

The only source of light illuminating this place was a lit torch on one of the walls.

Because of low light conditions, he narrows his eyes to silt as he finds a dark blocking his path.

He pulled out a flame torch from the side and after running his finger across the wall, he threw it.

The torch hit a protruding object on the wall and it caught fire which ran around in a straight line eventually forming a line.

Soon, a door appeared in the dark wall.

He was greeted by the sight of weapons arranged neatly on the display on either side.

Longswords, short swords, now, spears, mace, daggers, shields and much more...

A truly vast array of weapons were endlessly stacked against the wall.

It looked as if the place was the storehouse of weapons for wars as each weapon was of top grade.

The man walked past the array of weapons and reached the other end where various things were present.

Boxes filled with treasure and riches lay all around.

There were many shelves containing scrolls and parchments.

Chests laden with gold and various riches.

And in the middle of the treasure trove was a small table on which a small box was placed which emanate an ominous aura.

Staring at it, he felt something weird.

His heart started to beat like crazy and his eyes shone brightly.

It was as if he was being called out by the box saying that it was his and only his.

He was struck at an early Transcendent rank.

He had become old and lost his touch.

When he was on verge of giving up, he found a way to gain absolute power.

For years, he had been collecting things to carry out the exchange and he had finally succeeded.

Though it was weird that the other party contacted him first and agreed on settling for less, he didn't mind it.

As long as he could get stronger and live longer, he didn't mind it.

With more power, he would shine in glory once again.

He stepped towards the table and stood before the box and observed it.

His eyes shone with greed and his heart elated.

However, as he was able to open the box he heard a loud shout from someone which startled him.

"What the hell is this dark place?"

"Is it a torture room?"

The man looked at the source of the voice and saw a young boy stepping out from the dark wall.

The boy who walked in leisurely suddenly halted as the sight of immense riches reflected in his eyes and then his gaze locked onto the old man who flinched back seeing the murderous gaze from the boy.
