Chapter-21: Time for the hunt (1)

A white-haired young boy was walking in the street. He was seven years old boy who has promised the future of a good looking handsome man.

He is the brother of Jin Tiger.

He had snuck out from the mansion to play with his friends. Before noon he has to go back or he will be found out.

But the little boy didn’t know that there are two or three shadows that were following him quietly.

That boy has a secret passage where nobody visits that much, he uses that path to avoid eyes of clansman or guards and servants of the clan.

Sadly this place was the one that brings his life into calamity.

The boy suddenly hit from the back and fainted. Silhouette of two men showed in front of that unconscious body.

…

It’s been 15 days I returned to my clan from Royal City.

Of course, I am a clone.

I had purchased 20 slaves children from slave traders, but all I did after purchase was sheltered them in our old territory that my father give me right to rule (basically it's an empty village.). There are servants of our clan looking after them, I did not meet with them because it's not yet time to do so.

Currently, I was reading books in the library from the morning. At noon I suddenly peek commotion in my ears.

When I went to investigate the reason, I saw my mother collapsed and a servant girl was fanning her.

There was also a man in a bowed position that was sweating like a fountain.

I asked that girl with a frown,

“What happened?”

“Y-young master, bad news… 2nd young master was kidnapped!!!”

While saying that she was visibly trembling with teary eyes.

I said with laud and emergency tone,

“Hurry up! Contact our clan’s doctor.”

I carried mother on my arm and took her to her bedroom. She was still conscious.

After laying her in bed, I open her eyes with hand and implemented genjutsu with my Sharingan, she will be sleeping peacefully for the next few hours.

I sense aunt was behind me, who just entered this room.

Without giving her any time to ask me I told her,

“Please look after mother; I have something to take care of.”

I exit that room and returned to the previous place where my mother had fainted.

The man was in still bowing position… or should I say he is not daring to raise his head.

I grabbed his collar and make him stand up to my level (he was taller than me).

“Cremer, is it? You were in the position of watching over my kid brother, what happened and how did it happened?”

“M-my lord, I was doing my job. But… but I am incompetent, they took him away so fast that the time I went there... everything was over… I am sorry… I will take any punishment including death.”

Seems like, kidnappers were too much for him. I released him while sighing,

“Ah… don’t be that *hard-headed, and I am sorry I lost my cool there. I understand your circumstance… tell me how many person was there? What was their gender?”

[AN: I couldn't put the appropriate word for this sentence if you have any idea feel free to comment below.]

That guy also come back to his cool and answered me,

“Two and both man.”

“Is that so…”

Cremer Ling was one of the loyal guard of our clan, his family served us for the generation. As a person, I believe them.

My kid brother thought he could go in and out easily without anyone’s noticed but actually this guy always watching over his every step. We are giving that kid freedom to grow up with other kids, no matter what status their family or they have. A sheltered boy will never grow up faster than the boy who mixed with different kinds of personality holders, when that boy choose which kind of path he will choose after mixing with them he become a mature person. (AN: manly man lol)

I commended him,

“Give their description.”

After thinking so hard he replied,

“One was more than 6 feet and other was close to 5.10 feet. They were wearing the same looking black cloak. One of them had long sleeve and other one had the short sleeve (he mean wrapped). That short sleeved one had a tattoo in his hand…”

“Tattoo? Do you remember what kind of tattoo it was?”

“It was, black in color. I couldn’t see the full shape of that, but I think it was Lion’s head… no… I think it was Eagle’s.”

“Is that so? Well, I have enough clues.”

…

I visited the office room of my father.

He was calmly sitting in his chair.

There was no sign of worry but frown.

I told him a short sentence,

“Time for hunting the Eagles.”

“So, you are finally debuting in the dark world of politics”

He asked me.

“I already stepped in that world the moment my sect destroyed.”

I told him firmly. He nodded but didn’t talk anymore.

Before leaving the room I looked at the 3rd person other than us once.

[AN: So I am deciding to make chapter shorter than before, it will make me fast release than before I guess. I may release another chapter next Sunday, but do not hope up, because RL for me difficult these days (not in a bad way though), Thank you for reading this far.]
