Chapter 401 - The stone...

Rhehan saw the running away lion and heaved a sigh of relief, wiping away the sweat from his forhead. He looked at his hands that were holding the lion's teeth. Scratchless!!

He was still unable to believe that he was just a few seconds ago, holding a lion still, by holding its teeth and jaw.

He then turned to look at the two men, who were also looking at the running away lion, still standing fully alert with torches in their hands. "Thank you so much!" 

The men then turned to look at Rhehan, looking at him from head to toe. "Are you ok boss?" 

"Ummm...I am fine! But why are you calling me boss?" Rhehan looked at the two men carefully. They looked like somebody's body guards, who were conpletely trained. They were double the size of a normal human being.

"Sir! We are your bodyguards. We have been following you from a few days!" One of the men spoke up.

"Huh? But I am seing you for the first time. Who appointed you? Raol?" Rhehan frowned looking at the two.

"No sir! Master Xio Lee. We have been trained by him from past few years!" The other man spoke up.

"Ohh! I see!" Rhehan smiled looking at them and wondered if they would tell master about him going to an auction.

"Ohk! Then! Thank you so much! Bye!" Rhehan smiled warmly at them, and then sat down in his car again, driving towards his beach house.

"I am dead! Will they now tell master about me going to an auction?! They all will then force me to use the sword on the man!" Rhehan sighed entering the beach house. He then quickly stepped in the porch and entered the house.

A house maid on duty came towards Rhehan smiling pleasantly. "Sir you are back! There are a few deliveries by your name, it is placed in the living room currently. Where do you want them?" 

"Ahhh! Never mind, the living room is fine. Thank you. That will be all!" He smiled at the maid and rushed towards the living room.

He once again locked all the doors and switched down the elevator, and paced towards the bubble wrapped four packages. He opened the first one, and smiled looking at the necklace, he planned to gift Rose. He then opened the painting as well as the bronze statue, looking at them happily. "Tomorrow I shall handover these two. Rose's necklace can be placed in my room till her birthday."

He was about to go to his room, when he sighed and stopped. He looked at the fourth packaging and halted. "Whatever!"

He placed down the necklace, opening the fourth packaging too. It revealed a long transparent, glass box, with a beautiful metallic stand. Inside the box was placed the gigantic and royal sword, hung on a stand.

Rhehan looked at the sword for a few seconds and then finally opened the box. He held the sword's handle with his hands, finally pulling it out of the box. 

He touched it's engravings with his other hand, holding the sword high up in the air and looking at it very carefully. The sword was full of several precious stones, some of which Rhehan had seen for the first time. 

Suddenly, Rhehan spotted something on the sword and gaped at it in surprise. He quickly ran towards the elevator, and sprinted inside his room. As soon as he entered his room, holding the sword he walked towards his bed-side drawer and opened it.

Their was a red colored stone placed right on top, and Rhehan took it out, looking at it carefully. It was the same stone, gifted to him by the chimpanzee back in the west woods. The old monk had refused to take it, telling Rhehan he would figure out in a day or two, what to do with the stone.

He looked back at the sword in nervouseness, and again saw the hollow metallic round space near the handle of the sword. He placed the stone in that hollow space and it fitted perfectly in that space. "How do I stick it?" 

Rhehan placed the stone tightly in the space and suddenly the stone fitted itself, filling the gap. "Huh?" He ran his finger on the stone, but the stone did not budge at all. "It is already stuck!"
