Chapter 148

Ibro felt some change in this quiet man attitude. Why was Sliman speaking more words than usual? What is this feast and his honor thing all about?

Ibro felt suspicious towards these changes but he also needed to treat this with extreme care. He still needed to ask for a favor from her. He decided to fake ignorance about these changes for the time being.

'Dronil can you scout the area around me all the time for any hidden danger?'

'Don't worry, I will turn scout on for all the time. Why do I feel you are so worried?'

'That little princess here and her little gang had some changes in their behavior to me.'

'That might be due to your great help to him. Don't forget that you used your runes to amass gold coins. Your ability guarantees your future unique position. So it's no wonder her attitude would change.'

'Oh, you were spying on me then.'

'Of course, I did. If you died then everything I have will end. I needed to make sure your life was in no threat.'

'Aha, remind me to settle accounts with you later.'

'What do you mean?'

'Nothing. It's just some payback for your negligence towards me all this time. Now tell me, should I ask the princess directly about that mysterious man? Can you give me more hints about him?'

'You should know how things work here. I got tips from the game about what you most need. I decide what is most suitable for you then I get from the game more hints. I don't get everything about your quest, so technically I'm like you. I don't know any more details.'

Ibro was disappointed. He thought he could get more hints from Dronil. He didn't totally believe in Dronil's claims. This stingy tech knew more than it told him. Ibro let this matter go and exited his room. He found Sliman was waiting for him downstairs.

"My lady is waiting for you, please follow me."

Ibro looked at him in question. This man had really changed 100% from the cold indifferent man into this respectful man.

"Lead the way please."

Ibro moved behind him and started to look around him. This village was built by a supreme world princess. She must have depended on her empire pattern.

Every inch here would be useful to him in the future when he returned to his village. He wanted to form his own village on the best design possible.

While he was busy looking at everything here he noticed that Sliman wasn't taking him directly towards the lord's manor. Ibro noticed that this Sliman was taking him on a tour.

He kept looking around while he kept his vigilance. His previous assassination attempt had left a deep warning inside him. Sliman wasn't an imposter; he only was executing Noda's instructions.

Once he took Ibro on a tour around the whole village he took him again towards the manor. There, Noda and the rest of the gang were waiting for him.

This time they were standing there without the usual funny atmosphere. They were standing in silence like this was an official visit from a king to a queen.

Ibro felt strange inside him, especially when he looked at the usually noisy Foly and Tristy. Both of them looked at him and just nodded their heads in a respectful manner. Ibro looked at all of this and said with a big laugh:

"C'mon, what trick are you playing with me now?"

"There is no trick Ibro, is it abnormal to treat you in such a way?"

Ibro looked at her and replied with a wide smile:

"If this came from you little noisy gang then it's really abnormal. C'mon tell me, was it a gamble you all lost? Or is this a new bet? The first one who is not able to hold himself lose?"

This time Sola was the one who spilled everything out by saying in complain:

"It's neither this nor that. it was her big brother's orders. Mr. Important wants us to treat you in this special way."

Ibro understood part of the truth now; the other part was why Moran ordered them to do so. Before he could comment Tristy said in a serious tone:

"Do you know that your idea is great? Why don't we set a bet then? Who breaks his act will be the loser."

"Oh yeah, that is good. I like this bet."

"Me too."

"Let's do it."

Suddenly this glimpse of the true gang disappeared again. This time they weren't pretending forcibly but they were taking this in a more serious way.

"Oh, this is a good baby. Then I will act as the instigator. I will try my hard to make you lose your focus. The loser will fall by my hands."

Ibro's evil laugh made their eyes burn with fire, this was a challenge then. They kept looking towards Ibro but no one said anything. They held their positions and kept acting.

"Come in Ibro, let's talk inside."

"Ok Noda, you know I won't try to get you out of your acting, but that pretty girl beside you is like a star. I can't set my eyes off no matter what I try."

Everyone looked immediately towards Lora. She was Tristy's twin sister. Lora felt surprised by Ibro's words that she even was about to say something out of her act but Noda interfered immediately:

"Let's talk inside then Ibro. Leave the pretty girls alone."

Ibro laughed and said with confidence:

"I want to leave them alone but…"

He moved to be so close to Tristy while whispering in her ears:

"You are like a wildflower with no home to go, why don't you take me as yours?"

Tristy face blushed but again Noda interfered and said in a decisive tone:

"Your interference is unfair."

"Why is it unfair?"

"Because… because … because you don't interfere with everyone. You only tried with the twins."

"Oh, so do you want me to try with every beauty here?"

"I will go inside. C'mon everyone let's leave him alone."

Ibro was taking this as a joke actually. He really was amused by this funny less stressful life. If he had a choice he would choose to be here, but he knew he can't.

He had a village full of people who trust in him. He had a villain who was eyeing him and waiting for a single mistake from him to kill him. He had a home to return to and GF he missed.

He looked at this little gang and felt envious. He hoped he could live one day like them. He hoped they could live like this forever.

"Ok ok, I will stop my interference."

He then moved behind her inside the manor. She led him towards the main hall where there was a long table full of food.

Ibro sat beside Noda while the rest of the gang sat silently around the two. Ibro was really hungry. Each time he faced food he didn't know how he got all this hunger from. He attacked food like he attacked monsters in battles. His big appetite drew everyone's attention.
