"What are you up to, Argon?" Arura had enough of this mysterious vibe that Argon was putting up, she wanted to know what his plan was.

But before Argon could make another one of his excuses, Arora added.

"I want to know, so don't even try to make it mysterious by saying, 'You will know in a while', tell me what you are up to right now."

Aurora demanded.

Argon, who heard this, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He looked at Aurora with a frown.

'Thinking all high and mighty of yourself because of the contract, huh?

Just wait till it is nulled…'

Argon muttered inwardly.

He had enough of Aurora bossing him around.

(PS: Aurora was not actually bossing him around, it was just what it seemed to him.)

.......................

While Alex was doing his experiments, Argon was leading his team away from the gate and into an area that was untouched by even the creatures living in the gate.

It was something like a cursed place.

No creature had ever gone there.

The number of beasts popping up randomly also started decreasing.

"A-are we on the right p-path?" Someone from the group asked in a trembling voice.

The atmosphere was turning chilly and the air smelled rotten.

The trees in the surroundings were slowly turning black as they kept walking forward, and by now, all of the trees in the surroundings were black.

There were rotten corpses of beasts lying here and there, and the atmosphere started turning eery.

All of this was too much for the weaker ones to handle as they were trembling all over.

No one knew who asked that question, but the other raiders just looked at each other and silently followed behind their Emperor.

They didn't know what Argon had planned or where he was taking them, but they thought that he was taking them to the boss or something.

Although they were doubtful of how Argon knew about this gate even though it was his first time entering, they still remained silent.

They knew that their Emperor, their leader, or their boss was changing for a while, and those changes were nothing good; they didn't think he was still at the point of no return.

All the good deeds Argon had done to this day made his followers still believe in him.

But how could they have known what was coming for them....

.......................

'The more you try to hide it, the more I want to know about it…'

Aurora stared back at Argon who continued to look at her with a frown.

But then she saw him smile….

"What? You don't trust me anymore?"

Argon asked with a smile, trying to change the subject, but Aurora shot down that attempt ruthlessly.

"I never trusted you, Argon, and neither did you trust me, so drop the act and tell me what you are up to."

Aurora glared at Argon, causing him to grit his teeth in anger.

'Fucking bitch!'

He cursed inwardly.

"Or do you want me to remind you of the clauses in the contract?" Aurora asked with an expressionless face as she waved her hand, causing a thin golden-colored paper to appear in front of Argon.

Argon gritted his teeth as he worked his brain at full power, thinking of a way out of this situation.

'I can't tell her the plan, never, that would ruin everything, and there is a chance that she would try to kill me.….'

'Think Argon, think!'

Argon worked his brain at full throttle before he smiled inwardly.

On the outside, however, he had a frown on his face as he pretended to be looking at the golden sheet that Aurora conjured.

Then suddenly his eyes brightened.

Argon tried to hide it, but Aurora saw it and her eyes sharpened.

"There is one condition in the contract that you don't have the right to ask anything that is unrelated to you," Argon smiled as he looked into Aurora's eyes.

They were still walking, and the raiders were still following Argon, but there was some distance between them so none of them could hear Argon and Aurora chatting.

Aurora looked at Argon without any change in expression as she voiced out.

"So, I have no role to play in whatever you're planning?"

Aurora had her eyes locked in Argon as she observed any change in his expression.

The contract forbids them to lie to each other, so Aurora knew that Argon couldn't lie, but she still looked at him with all of her focus.

"Yes."

Argon replied, but he continued inwardly.

'You won't have to lift a single finger, I will do everything, so you have no role in it….'

Aurora's words, 'no role to play' can be interpreted in many ways, but what Argon took it as was: 'No work to do'.

Even if the contract forced them to tell the truth, what would it do if whatever you think is the truth is actually a lie?

It will detect it as a truth since you believe it to be true.

Aurora froze for a second before she continued.

'He didn't lie?'

Aurora was confused now.

'Are my instincts getting rusty?'

Argon looked at Aurora who had a perplexed expression as he grinned inwardly.

'Loopholes, Aurora, loophole, you seem to have forgotten that it is a thing….'

He shook his head inwardly.

'No, my instincts have never been wrong, there has to be something that he is hiding.'

Aurora chose to believe her instincts over the contract, so she looked at Argon and asked again.

"Does your plan have anything to do with me, and by anything, I mean the smallest of things, even the mention of my name."

Argon paused on the track, and the raiders behind him saw that and quickly got into a formation.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

One of them asked.

That guy was one of the S-ranked raiders in the group.

Argon realized that he had paused for a while, so he started looking around as if observing the surroundings.

"Wait a second, I'm not sure…."

Argon spoke out loud in a tone that indicated that he was confused.

The guy in the back nodded his head.

"Take your time, your majesty."

Argon didn't reply to the guy as he looked around with a frown.

Inwardly, however, he was thinking of something else.

'I can use her question very nicely, it might even expel all of her doubts, for now…'

Argon muttered inwardly as he thought about Aurora's question.

Aurora also didn't rush him to answer, she waited patiently.

'I wish your answer would not go against my interests, Argon.

I don't want to kill someone like you, who helped me till now….'

Aurora muttered inwardly as she looked at Argon.

No matter how bad Argon was, Aurora was not someone ungrateful, and she knew that even if by coincidence, Argon didn't appear in front of her when they first met, she would still have been trapped in the same place….
