Looking at the Gray's group as they all look down trying to hide they face from him, the vice leader of the Raging Dawn turn to look at Gray as he said.

" Were you looking for me".

" Yes, leader said we will be able to find you here, so we came in hope of finding you and it seen like the heavens are in our favour also " replied Gray with a weak smile on his face.

" Okay, now that you found me, what can I do for you," asked the vice leader as he narrow his eyes at the group.

" Well it's like this, we are actually here to claim the point we gain from the bet" replied Roland with a bow.

" Oh please don't mind me, I actually forgot about the role I played in the event" said the vice leader as he shared the points according to what each person gain from the number of point bet.

Every one of them were giving their share of the bet except for Ellis who just stood by the side as he watched the other as they received their point without being bothered by the fact that he was not given instead, he seen to be happy over the fact that he will be getting his soon and right after the vice leader was done distributing the point to the group, he turned to look at Ellis with a smile on his face as he said.

" I would never believe that someone of your realm was able to beat josh, who seen to be two to three level ahead of you".

" What can I say, luck plays a really huge part in taking him down unaware," replied Ellis with an awkward laugh.

" Luck has nothing to do with this, you were able to beat josh not because you were lucky, or he let his guide down but because you were very strict with your practice," said the vice leader seriously.

Ellis just kept quiet as the vice leader continue to say.

" By the way, you guys need to be careful from now on for who or whatsoever that took the key from the cottage, will surely come for you".

" What the key was taken by someone" asked Ellis in surprise.

" I was tasked with the mission to retrieve it but on getting there, apart from the carcass of the worshippers laying all over the place there was no sign of the key" replied the vice leader.

" Since someone can beat you to it could only mean that we were not the only one that knew about the existence of the key," commented Roland.

" That's what I also thought and who ever that is behind this should be on his way to the middle heavens or has yet to fulfil his mission here in the lower heaven" replied the vice leader.

" Since things has got to this point, what is the guild planning on doing," asked Ellis with all seriousness.

" What the guild plan to do has nothing to do with you, am just telling you all this information since you were all involved" said the vice leader as he walks pass them as he continued to head towards the exit of the whispering Beck.

" I guess I won't be taking on the quest for the time being then" said Gray as he turned around in an attempt to leave only for Ellis to stop him on his track.

" Don't you think you are forgetting something," asked Ellis with a smile on his face.

" I don't think I am," replied Gray as he shook his head in disapproval to Ellis word.

" It seen like someone need help remembering that he still own me some point" said Ellis as he smiled at Gray sinisterly.

" Oh, you mean the point we promise to share with you. Here it is " replied Gray as he quickly transferred the point into Ellis tag.

" What are you waiting for before you start transferring your points," yelled Ellis at Roland.

" Okay, stop yelling at me like someone that stole or owned you money" said Roland as he handed his share to him.

" But you are actually owning me some points," replied Ellis aggressively.

" Ah, I don't want to argue with you and by the way why is Ray not also giving you part of his win," said Roland.

" Oh now you are dragging me into it" asked Ray.

" As if you're left out of the bet" replied Gray with a grin look.

" Oh well, since am the one taking the points, I have the right to decide if he should hand them over or not," said Ellis.

" Right now we have bigger things to worry about, and contribution points is not one of them, since we are now been target it won't be safe to go on a quest and if we don't take on quest, there is no way we would be able to tend to our daily needs" said Gray as he reminded the group about their problem.

" Only if we knew who is behind all these, then things would have been a lot easier for us" commented Ellis.

" I have my suspect, but I just can't figure it out, how she was able to leave the Azure empire" said Ray as he was in deep thought.

" Just because you caught placidia having a contract with a demon doesn't mean she is the one beside the whole event since others could also summon demons into the realm" replied Ellis to Ray word.

" Beside, placidia has not left the king side ever since she save the Azure empire from destruction" added Gray.

" And which destruction did she save the empire from," asked Ray as he was surprised to hear the news.

" Haven't you heard the news that have been going around, about a hunter who was trying to summon a demon into the empire only to be caught by placidia" replied Roland who seen to know a little about the matter.

" More reason why she's going to die a painful death,"said Ray with anger.

" Looks like someone has a grudge with the seer, but be careful of what you say about the seer because not everyone will keep their mouth shut after hearing those words," commented Gray.

" You won't understand why I said those words so let just forget about it and focus on how we are going to deal with this problem," said Ray.

" What else can we do other than not completing any quest for the main time until the matter has been taken care of," replied Gray.

" But you know that won't be possible since we need contribution points to get resources for our Cultivation," said Ellis.

" We that's up to you to decide but as far as I am concerned, there will be no quest for the now" replied Roland as he turned around and left the group.

" I don't know about you guys, but I am with Roland on this one" said Gray as he also took his leave.

" Can you imagine they actually left, not even bothering to go have a drink before calling it a day" complain Ray.

" All you ever know to do is drink," said Ellis as he stared at Ray coldly.

" Hey don't blame me, by the way what are we going to do now that we are being watched" asked Ray.

" We will continue to take on a quest, but it will have to be within the Hiepia empire" replied Ellis.

After coming to terms, they both left the shore together. Walking into the pub was a man dress on rag while wearing a straw hat who went straight to sit by a hunter.

" So is there any news about my brother return," asked straw bandit #2 after taking a sit.

" Yes sir, I heard he came back six months ago but went into seclusion and just came out not quite long and the moment he did, he has a duel with Josh" replied the hunter before he continued.

" Who would have thought that he will be able to beat josh, who is three realms higher than him".

" That's my brother alright, a rare talent, and it was quite unfortunate that he left home else he should have made a lot of progress in his cultivation path" said straw bandit #2 as he sighed in regret.

" Sir, why don't you go see him and maybe convince him to go home together with you" suggested the hunter when he saw his saviour was not in a good mood.

" I can't do that since he don't want to expose his identity unless you can find a way to get him to come see me by the hut in the east of Hiepia empire" replied straw bandit #2.

" That won't be a problem sir, since you save me from the brink of death it is the least I can do" replied the hunter with a smile.

" Good now we can proceed and executive the next and finally phrase of the plan" mutter straw bandit #2 in a voice that only him can hear.
