Chapter 90: Abel was Innocent

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“How is that possible” in a slip of the tongue, these words leaked out of the mouth of the public security guard. He then immediately followed up and said, “I am so sorry, the honorable Lord of Abel. I was only stunned by your power.”

Abel replied, “No worries. It’s not that I am powerful. It’s just that….” suddenly, he paused his sentence. He then proceeded to say, “how can someone without a weapon be a knight?”

At that moment, steward Robbin, the steward of the Harry family temporary courtyard in Harvest City, had arrived. He was called here by the auction stand in regard to the attack of the Lord of Abel in Kree’s auction stand. Normally, when a situation like this had happened, the first people to contact were the public security guards and the family of Abel.

“Young master Abel, steward Robbin is here at your service!” Said Steward Robbin as he bowed to Abel. Only servants from Harry castle would call Abel a young master.

“Robbin, what are you doing here? Never mind, you can help me bring this elf back.” Said Abel pointing at that young female elf.

“Yes, young master Abel” after Steward Robbin saw that Abel was not injured, a heavy boulder had lifted off his heart full of worry. Then, he took away the elf as Abel had ordered.

The reason why Abel had ordered the steward to take away the young female elf was that he didn’t want many people to know that an elf was involved in this situation. Buying or selling an elf was not a dignified thing to do. Everyone in the crowd, no matter businessmen or nobles, were sophisticated enough to know fully well that Abel wanted to keep this a secret.

Of course, the public security guard would not interfere with things such as a noble buying an elf. If he had reported it to the noble arbitral tribunal, the most they would do was to give Abel a warning. The public security guard would not take this risk to offend the Lord of Abel.

The public security guard began to collect the evidence, but that was none of Abel’s business. Soon, Abel was out of Kree’s auction stand. In turn, he entered the alley of the auction stand. By that point, the alley was already pitch black. There was no one around. Suddenly, Abel jumped up. He grabbed on to the 3 meters high wall, and with an effortless flip, Abel had entered the Calgary potion store beside Kree’s auction stand.

Abel had actually entered the backyard of the Calgary potion store. He stopped his footsteps and listened carefully. There was only the sound of insects calling, not a single sound of humans. The backyard was empty.

There was no one stopping Abel. Soon, he had entered the master’s bedroom. The first thing he noticed was the bed that Darren had described. It was huge, almost taking up half the bedroom.

Abel searched the surrounding for the mechanism. Due to Abel’s lack of knowledge when it came to this, he walked around for a circle and still had no result. So came to a halt and stopped searching.

Abel walked to the side of the bed and reached his hand to grab the bedside. He slowly applied force, and pale gold combat qi began to unleash. 500 pounds, 1000 pounds, 1500 pounds. As he continued to apply force, the bed began to make a cracking noise. When Abel’s force reached 4500 pounds, the bed had been completely flipped over. Underneath exposed a pitch-black tunnel and a bunch of damaged mechanisms surrounding it.

Abel took out that Night pearl from his pocket and threw it into the tunnel. The tunnel was not too deep, only around 5 meters. He then immediately jumped down. Abel arrived at a secret chamber. It was around 20 square meters. There were only around ten large boxes scattered on the ground and a table in the center with some small boxes on the top.

Abel opened the small boxes on the table. Under the illumination of the night pearl, a large patch of hundred unit gold coins flashed in front of Abel’s eye. However, over the years, he had become numb to money. He threw the small boxes into the portal bag and turned his gaze towards the large boxes on the floor.

He opened the big boxes as well. Inside was filled with all kinds of potions from the ones for novice knights to the one for official knights. Of course, anyone who practiced combat qi could use these potions, but due to tight regulations, some occupations could only buy some of these potions in the black market.

Abel shoved everything into his portal bag and left the tunnel. He looked at the bed he had destroyed with a headache. At first, he wanted to just take things and leave without a trace. But now, anyone with an eye would notice what had happened. Since things had already progressed to this point, Abel had no choice. He opened up the oil lamp next to the bed and poured the oil all over the bed. He then used flint and lit the bed on fire.

After Abel had stepped out of the room, He watched the Calgary potion light up in flame a few hundred meters behind him. Since the courtyard was made out of wood, the enter thing was engulfed in a sea of fire. Abel continued to stare with a pair of cold, emotionless eyes. The sound of firemen came from a distance, but the time was late. In a thundering sound, Calgary potion shop had collapsed onto the ground, the evidence of Abel’s good deed had completely vanished into the fire.

……..

Five days had passed. The elite wolf rider of Flaurling had gone through the sewerage to connect with prince Middleton George, the 7th prince of the royal. The Elite wolf rider of Flaurling had been driven mad by his failure. In the letter he delivered to the 7th prince, he threatened that if the prince didn’t find out who was the thief that stole his treasure, he would inform the public about the deal he had made with the prince.

“Ping!” A luxurious cup had fallen to the Oakwood floor. The reporter stood in front of Prince Middleton was holding a large stack of information, drenched in sweat.

“What took you so long? We had spent a lot of money on our networks, how come we still can’t find anything about who had stolen the wolf rider’s treasure!” Prince Middleton roared.

“Your majesty, according to what the elite wolf rider of Flaurling, it was a worgen who stole the treasure. It’s very hard for us to find the trace of a worgen, and it should be the responsibility of the elite wolf rider of Flaurling. That worgen might have already returned to the orc empire.” The reporter said with his head pointing down. Yet, the words were spoken very clearly, no wonder why he could attain an important role such as a reporter.

“You have a point. How about the incident with the Calgary potion store?” Asked Prince Middleton in a low voice.

“The biggest suspects are the other princes, only someone with a strong information network could find out that Calgary potion was your possession.” Said the reporter in a certain tone.

“How about the Harry castle that the elite wolfrider of Flaurling had mentioned, could they be involved as well?” Although the elite wolfrider of Flaurling did not say much about Harry Castle, Prince Middleton could tell that he was a bit scared of them. Since the elite wolfrider of Flaurling wasn’t willing to attack the Harry castle near Harvest City personally, it suggested that the fighting power of Harry castle was equal, if not better than an elite wolfrider.

“According to the report, there were quite a few elite and intermediate wolf rider who had attacked Harry castle, but all of them had failed miserably. Since Harry castle has not submitted any outstanding military service ever since it seemed like Harry castle is holding a lot of hidden power.” The reporter analyzed.

The reason why Harry Castle did not submit an outstanding military service was that they didn’t want anyone to know that even their normal knight servants were equipped with magic weapons.

“The day when the wolf garden was attacked, and the day where Calgary potion store had the incident, he had just bought an elf from an auction stand. During the process, he had a fight with an elite knight and ended up killing the elite knight,” said the reporter.

Prince Middleton then asked with curiosity, “ah….was that Lord of Abel really that powerful? How much power is he hiding?”

“There were no official knights in the scene, but according to the testimony of an intermediate warrior, Abel was incredibly gifted in physical battle.” The reporter proceeded to say with an odd expression, “at that time, the elite knight was not equipped with any weapon, and Abel locked him on the floor and directly choked him to death.”

“The elite wolfrider of Flauring’s suspicions of Abel’s involvement in the attack of the wolf garden might be true after all. If Abel actually possessed this ability, he could also very well be able to open the secret chamber in Calgary potion store, then burn the store down,” Said Prince Middleton. He began to suspect Abel.

“Our investigators asked a lot of people. It did not take long until Abel had arrived back at Harry castle after he left the auction stand. It was definitely not enough time for him to open up all the mechanisms within our secret chamber. Moreover, it would not be possible for a single person to take away all put possessions.”

The elite wolf rider of Flaurling did not tell Prince Middleton that the treasure he had lost was the orc’s spirit portal bag. He only told him it was a treasure.

“Report to the elite wolfrider of Flaurling everything we had discussed. Tell him he can go search the worgen himself, and there was not enough time for Abel to attack the wolf garden.”

No one knew that Abel had White Cloud as his mode of transport; hundreds of miles could be completed in a blink of an eye.

Little did Abel know, everything he had done had already been proven innocent by Prince Middleton, who he had never met before. If Abel knew about this, he would definitely celebrate with a large bottle of wine.
