Death… And Me

Chapter 406 - Let Me Hear



Chapter 406 - Let Me Hear

Rean returned to the Formations Guild Repository after that since he had already been out for a few hours. There, he found out that Tulia came to talk with Droman about the marriage. Qia had been faster than Rean and told Tulia that she also accepted that. Of course, on the surface, the two just pretended that this was a marriage full of emotions since others were looking at them.

After explaining to Rean what happened, Droman changed to Spiritual Sense Messages.

'So, she accepted this fake marriage, right?'

Rean didn't know if he should say yes or not.

'I'm not sure. Droman, what do you think about this?'

There wasn't really a reason to hide what happened from Droman, so Rean decided to ask his opinion.

'Well... She was obviously angry that you disregarded her this much.'

'But I thought that being disregarded was what she exactly wanted. After all, if I don't care, it means she has her freedom, right?'

Droman sighed...

'You are too inexperienced. The problem was that you said way too much. In the end, Qia didn't feel like she was getting her freedom because of the agreement. She probably felt like she had her freedom because you didn't show the least bit of interest in her, especially her body. Rean, you are not your brother, so you can at least understand why right?'

Rean scratched his head as he nodded.

'I understand. I hurt Qia's pride as a young and beautiful woman. That's why she did that.'

Droman nodded.

'Correct, but not entirely.'

'What you mean?'

Droman smiled before saying.

'Hahaha! Well, that's quite simple. Even if her pride had been hurt, would a princess really force herself to kiss you just because you didn't 'see' her? I'll be honest, I find it almost impossible. You told me how you played with Luina and Illia to even undress in front of Roan, which made me laugh for almost an entire day. However, why do you think that hilarious and ridiculous plan worked out?'

Rean was Droman's direct disciple, so Juvian obviously told him what he saw when the twins left the war zone with the three girls and Kentucky. When Droman asked Rean how he achieved that, Rean laughed out loud and explained. From the very start, Rean and Roan knew that they were being followed, so it was not like what Rean and Malaka did was supposed to be a secret anyway.

Rean then answered Droman's question almost immediately.

'Because the two girls like Ro-'

'...'

'Oh...'

Droman was happy that Rean wasn't as oblivious to this kind of matter as Roan.

'It seems like you understood the reason. I can't tell if Qia is really in deep love with you or if this is just a start. But one thing is certain, there is definitely some feeling behind her actions. Otherwise, she would definitely not have gone that far only because you hurt her pride. At most, she would have argued or started a fight with you.'

Rean sighed as he began to ponder.

'What do I do now? I really don't have an interest in starting a relationship. She is a beautiful girl. However...'

Rean didn't say that, but he still felt like she was way too young for him. It isn't easy to wipe out one's mentality after living 31 years in another world. People saw the huge disparity in ages as a bad thing for couples in Rean's previous life. Although Rean didn't care about anything due to his soul problem, it didn't change the fact that he knew about it.

Droman didn't know what Rean was thinking.

'Well, it's still not late. You said that you pretended to accept that 'marriage ceremony training' excuse, right? Just treat her as if nothing had happened since she was the one who came up with that justification. Make sure to not say things that could hurt her pride again. Perhaps her feelings will die out before it grows into something more serious.'

Rean couldn't help but feel grateful to Droman. Even though his two lives together put him above the age of 40, Droman has lived several times more than that amount of time. He was obviously much more experienced than Rean.

But it was then that Rean thought about something.

'By the way, I've never heard about you having a wife. Are you single, Elder Droman?'

Droman was taken aback for a moment before laughing out loud.

'Hahaha! Well, at the moment, I really am.'

Rean looked at him with a slightly puzzled gaze, so Droman explained.

'It's nothing hard to understand. You do know that I'm already close to 500 years old, right? It just so happens that my wife passed away of old age a long time ago. Since then, I didn't really feel like looking for another partner. My memories of her are still in my head, so I can't bring myself to do so.'

Rean didn't know what to say as he dropped his head a little. He should have thought this much instead of asking.

'Sorry, Elder Droman.'

However...

*Pah!*

Droman slapped Rean's back head.

"What are you all gloomy about? There had been hardships during our married life. However, my dead wife and I were very happy until the day she died, alright?"

Droman then returned his attention to the books on the table before saying.

Rean rubbed the back of his head as he nodded with a smile.

"Alright!"

In Roan's case, he decided to go check the target he should get rid of. The fastest way would be the Dark Web Organization, but that would cost money. Assassins were in this business to make a profit, not lose money. That being said, Roan investigated the guy all by himself. Besides, Rean couldn't always come out. That being said, Roan wanted to learn more about him first.

The reason for his mission to be considered a High-Level one wasn't his own personal power. Instead, it was the protection he put around him. He never walked around without at least a few guards, all of them in the Core Formation Realm, just like him.

As for his home, it had many formations to warn him about intruders. It was quite a common practice between those with many enemies. Rean's Light and Spiritual Energy bending skills wouldn't be enough to escape the formations.

'If I want him dead, his house will be a problem. Unlike Tissan, who didn't expect that anyone would attack him, this guy knows what to expect.'

'Sister Orb, can you take control over those formations?'

[That won't work. I can only control one formation at a time. If you want me to do something similar, you will need to wait so that I can analyze all of them and gain access. Then I can try to take control of them one by one and turn them off. However, I'm pretty sure he would notice it as soon as possible. Analyzing the formations and knowing to tell what they do is different from controlling them.]

Roan nodded, not minding too much.

'In that case, I'll need to act outside his house.'

Roan pondered for a bit.

[What are you planning to do?]

'The streets are out of the question since there are always many Spiritual Senses spread around, and not just the target's spiritual sense. It will be difficult to avoid people's attention, especially if their cultivations are high. Nightingale's skills have a limit to the power of the Spiritual Sense that can be bent. If we attack in broad daylight, there is bound to be a few of these Spiritual Senses that would see us.'

'That being said, it has to be a closed space with anti-Spiritual Sense formations, just like Tissan's building. His house has too many Alarming Formations, which leaves us with other places.'

[What other places?]

'This guy is obviously the type who likes to flaunt his riches. After all, he's making a fortune by destroying other businesses. I refuse to believe that he only goes to his own house and to the bank. Let's keep following him from a distance.'

Even without Rean, Roan didn't have much difficulty if all he had to do was follow someone from afar. He then spent the next ten days going everywhere Nulian went. Sure enough, Nulian liked to frequent expensive shops and even brothels. Roan just had to find the one with the least amount of security and that Nulian would be sure to visit.

'This shall be the one.'

[A brothel? Why not a shop instead? This place has much more people than those expensive places Nulian liked to visit.]

Roan snorted but didn't explain. After that, he turned around and returned to the Dalamu Residence.

Surprisingly, Rean was also there when he returned.

"Did Droman finally release you for a while?"

Rean nodded.

"Yes, but that's not all. I came back mainly because Tissan finally woke up. So, wanna go inside to check the guy?"

Roan checked the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and confirmed that Tissan had indeed woke up. In the end, they had to put Sister Orb to take care of him during all this time.

"Alright."

Rean and Roan then entered the concealment formation before getting inside the jail. As soon as they came back, Tissan's eyes lit up. However, he didn't move since his body was aching all over.

"So-Sorry, young masters. I really wanted to thank you properly, but I feel like my body will kill me every time I try to move a muscle."

Rean shook his head.

"We don't care about it. We came to talk about what we want from you."

Tissan's expression didn't even change. He knew his recovery wouldn't come for free.

"Let me hear."
