" So sir, when do you want to meet up with your brother" asked the hunter.

" As so as possible if that's okay with you" replied straw bandit #2

" Of course am okay with it, as long as your brother Ellis visit the guild, telling him won't be a problem" said the hunter.

" I really own you one for getting me to meetup with my brother" said straw bandit #2

" It's the least I can do for you sir and if you don't mind, I will be taking my leave now" replied the hunter as he got up from his seat and walk out of the pub

" Finally we can get rid of that spoilt young clan master and leave this place" said straw bandit #2 as he also got up from his seat.

Before going home, Ellis went to the guild market to purchase some pills that will help boosted his realm Before leaving the guild.

" Better take the time now to cultivate before we can go on any quest," said Ellis to Ray.

" How many times do I have to tell you that I don't need all these pills to boosted my realm, it will only serve as waste to my money," replied Ray.

" So battling is the only way you can boost your realm eh" asked Ellis.

" Not just battling, feeding my blades with the souls of my opponent is also one of the factors. Beside can this pills really guarantee you a breakthrough" replied Ray.

" As long as I am already at the peak and need to Break through the bottom neck, it also speeds the rate at which one cultivation base increases unlike when cultivating without pills" said Ellis as they continue to head home.

" It is still going to be useless for someone like me" replied Ray.

Shutting themselves up for some time which Ellis use in cultivating, meetings have being going on within the various clan after the news about a demon being summoned into the lower heaven with the issue of the key missing, every clan took the matter seriously as they sent their elite to investigate the matter meanwhile in the pub, straw bandit #2 was sitting with a bottle of bear in front of him as he listened to the news going about in the put and at the same time was waiting for the hunter to arrive.

Entertaining himself with his bottle of wine, the hunter rush into the pub as he scanned the place with his eye in search of the straw bandit #2 until he found him sitting all by himself. Making his way to straw bandit #2 location, the hunter was just two meter way from straw bandit #2 when he heard a voice that was more of a whisper.

" You really came late today unlike the other time" said straw bandit #2.

After finally reaching the straw bandit, he bow before replying.

" I believe senior must have heard the rumours going around about the key that grant the demon realm access to our realm was taken by an unknown force, we were tasked to look for the clue which is why I was not able to meet up on time".

" Leave that aside, were you able to meet up with my brother," asked straw bandit #2

" Not really, I have not seen him within the guild and I even tried asking around if anyone has seen him but the response I get was that he has not been in the guild after the duel with Josh" replied the hunter.

" But don't worry senior, I will keep on searching for him " said the hunter when he saw the tired look on straw bandit #2

" Am sorry for having troubled you about my brother" said straw bandit #2 as he continued to put on an act.

" Not at all, senior is the least I can do to return the favour" replied the hunter as he waved at straw bandit #2.

" So how did the search for the key is are, do you have any lead at where it could be," asked straw bandit #2.

" We haven't been able to find any clue that leads to the key and even the Raging Dawn vice leader was also depart by the leader" replied the hunter.

' Good, with all this uproar we can easily kill the young clan master without any disturbance' thought straw bandit #2

" In case you see him, do not hesitate to inform me as soon as possible," said straw bandit #2 as he walked out of the pub.

Finally, after exhausting all the pills to boosted his cultivation base, Ellis finally decided to come out.

" Man I believe by now every thing should have calm down" said Ellis as he begins to stretch his body.

" No, the whole empire is in uproar because of the incident with the demon" replied Ray who was just sitting by the window while playing with his blade.

" Looks like someone has been busy gathering information," said Ellis with a smile on his face.

" It was all due to being bored and since there is nothing left for me to do, I have to pay attention to the news about the demon since it is now our problem," replied Ray.

" Okay king of boredom, I thought you would be going to the pub and get drunk " joked Ellis.

" Haha very funny, anyway since the whole place is in an uproar, don't you think it is the best opportunity for us to take on a quest" asked Ray.

" I know you won't be able to live a day without having a fight and yes it should be the best time but only if we are doing the quest within the empire" replied Ellis.

" Then what are we waiting for, come on let's go pick a quest before I lose it" said Ray as he placed his blade back on the scabbard before walking out of the house.

" Don't worry about losing it because I will be here to bring you back to your senses" said Ellis with a smile.

" Shameless pig" replied Ray after turning to give Ellis a good look.

Walking into the guild, they were just about to head to the quest board when a hunter suddenly approach them.

" Hey where have you been all this while" said the hunter that recently have a talk with straw bandit #2.

" Eh do I know you" asked Ellis with a confused look on his face.

" I am sorry for not introducing myself earlier, I am Jesper, an apprentice hunter" replied Jesper.

" Nice to meet you Jesper, so why are you looking for me," asked Ellis once more.

" Oh I was sent by your elder brother who has been waiting for you to return to the guild for over six months now" replied Jesper.

" Wait a minute, did you just say my brother in here in Hiepia empire," asked Ellis in shock.

" Yes, and he wanted you to come see him as soon as possible" replied Jesper.

" Looks like that dude from the Patton clan sold you out," said Ray with a serious look on his face.

" I knew he would it only a matter of time, but for my brother to come to Hiepia empire really seen fishy" commented Ellis as he was in thought.

" Are you worried that he might be here to Kill you," whisper Ray to Ellis.

" No that's not it, since flex has told him my whereabouts it won't be wise for him to act here" Ellis whispered back.

Seeing the two whispering to each other kind of make he felt awkward, coughing loudly to catch their attention.

" Am sorry if I in any way disturb your discussion, but senior would like to meet you as since as possible" said Jesper after getting their attention.

" Senior, for Jesper to address your brother as senior shows how powerful he is," said Ray with a chuckle.

" It's not surprising if he addressed him as senior since he has the strength to back it up" Replied Ellis before turning to Jesper and asked.

" So where is my brother residing at the moment".

" That I do not know,, but senior said you should come see him tomorrow by the hut in the east of Hiepia empire" replied Jesper.

" Sigh, okay I have heard you " said Ellis as he walked pass Jesper but before he could get far, he heard Jesper calling once more.

" What is it this time around," said Ellis angrily.

" Is it okay if I go with you to see senior," asked Jesper with an embarrassing look on his face.

" Sure no problem" replied Ellis as he could to walk.

" Hey slow down, do you think it is a good idea for you to go see your brother," asked Ray.

" Under normal circumstances I am not supposed to but there must be a reason why he wanted to see me, so I have no choice but to go" replied Ellis as he continue to walk.
