Rise of the Legendary Emperor

Chapter 49: The Bounty Poster

The Bounty Poster

"What is it?" Don asked the moment he opened his eyes to see Catalie crying

"It's Uncle Dior you in the teleportation ro " but before Catalie could finish her sentence Don's figure blurred and disappeared.

When Don entered the teleportation room he could feel the room filled with killing intent radiating from Knight while Amaryll clinging on Arrora and sobbing.

"Me king " Stodemar said as everyone looked at Don and made way for him. At the center of the Array, Uncle Dior was shivering beside Knight, his face was pale and his clothes were torn and soaked with blood.

Everyone in the room went silent while Don was walking towards Uncle Dior except Amaryll, she was still crying.

"Tell me what happened"

Even though Uncle Dior's clothes soaked with blood he had no wounds as Don knew it was probably because of the healing potion Knight had.

Uncle Dior was trying not to shake as Don knelt on one knee before him and put his hand on his shoulder. Uncle Dior's hand was shaking without his control while he put his hand into the robe pocket and took a piece of paper.

The paper had some bloodstains on it that seemingly Uncle Dior's blood. Don grabbed the paper from his hand and unfolded it.

At the moment he laid eyes on the paper Don knows why Uncle Dior was attacked because what was on the paper were the faces of him, Knight's puppy form and Uncle Dior's face. The face on the picture was not Don's but his mike face, but he couldn't guess how they found out Uncle Dior using a hood covered the face of his on the paper.

Under their faces was a huge amount of bounty were stated '100,000 LQ magic stones for capturing dead or alive '

"Shut up!!" Knight's roar reverberated the hall as Amaryll gasped air in shock and closed her mouth.

Knight would not be angered if they just put his and Don's face on the bounty poster but they put Uncle Dior's face and endangered his life.

Even though Knight and Uncle Dior didn't see eye to eye, Knight still considered him as one of his people. If not for Catalie's quick action and teleportation Array he would have died in Virnam or captured. But still, Knight also had the same doubt as Don, how did the attackers find Uncle Dior using this unclear picture of him on the bounty poster.

Apparently Arwen also had the same doubt as he asked Don

"How did they even find Uncle Dior with this picture?"

Even Don had no answer to that question, he was still looking at the bounty poster without turning his gaze away from it.

At that moment a white-hot smoke passed through Uncle Dior and Knight saw a yellow light on Uncle Dior's shoulder but the moment the smoke disappeared the light was also gone.

Knight looked at Reghys for her answer as she rubbed her chin with her claw for a moment

"It seems someone put cursed fungi on him"

Knight saw everyone looking like they had a sudden realization but he still had no idea what is this cursed fungi and his face clearly showed his confusion as he tilted his head

"It's a group of organisms used to track people they are invisible to naked eyes making them a perfect tool to trail someone without them knowing but it's extremely expensive. Who could have put that on him?"

"Jemma Ariel"

Knight and Don said at the same time as he crumpled the bounty poster and stood up. Until now Don and Knight hadn't thought that Jemma stumbling on Uncle Dion in Royal Dine was just a fluke to put the fungi on him.

"Arwen take Uncle Dior to his room and let him rest"

Arwen grabbed Uncle Dior's elbow and helped him stand up on his feet. Seeing Arwen leaving with Uncle Dior followed by Amaryll who is wiping away her tears and trying her best to keep her mouth shut due to Knight's roar.

"I'll go and kill the fungi on him" with her memories of her ancestors she knew she could find a way to neutralize the fungi on him.

After seeing Reghys figure disappearing from their eyesight, Don and Knight stood in the room with Arrora, Arya, Benedict, and Stodemar, Dhursir.

Dhursir and Stodemar had a tinge of anger hidden within their eyes as Arya and Benedict looked worried and afraid.

"Don what're you gonna do?" although Don seemed calm unlike killing intent radiating Knight, Arrora could see a tinge of killing intent and anger hiding underneath his calm face.

"Nothing yet but they will pay" as he said a purple flame engulfed the bounty paper and burnt it without leaving a trace.

However, Arya yelped in shock when she heard Don as he turned his gaze towards her and Benedict

"Are you talking about the Ariel family?" she pressed the word 'the' when she mentioned the Ariel family

"They one of the biggest powers in the empire taking revenge against them is like committing suicide"

"It's not about revenge, I killed one of their men and they attacked mine I understand that"

Everyone heard Don was confused and furrowed their brows yet before they could open their mouths, Don said

"It's about the consequences of messing with me" Don was not a hypocrite that thinks he could kill anyone and they couldn't kill him or his people in return. However, he started this feud and he's the one going to finish it unless they leave this matter and him alone. If they do that he won't mess with them but if they don't he will make them regret.

Don very well knew now he had neither the power nor a powerful army to face a superpower like the House of Ariel.

"But don't worry I won't do anything stupid and endanger everyone "

Arya and Benedict sighed when they heard him as Don started to walk away leaving them to their work followed by Knight and Arrora.

"It's the right move Don" Arrora agreed with Don while she was following him to the throne room with Knight.

Hearing Arrora Knight's memories of Divine Continent emerged in his mind. He and Don saw many sects and families get destroyed by young masters single-handedly because the families or the sects were too proud to let a small thing go.

Don and he amassed huge wealth just by looting their treasuries after they gtt destroyed because no use leaving precious things to the dead right. Most of the items they have in their space rings were collected like this. Thinking about the nickname they had because of this made Knight chuckle as he mumbled the name

"Evil duos"

Arrora could hear what Knight just said but she saw a smile on his face. Eventually, the three of them reached the throne hall

"Don we need to step up our game we have to get that oath-taker mirror as soon as possible"

Arrora knew it was something Don talked when she was dismissed from the throne hall days ago so she didn't ask anything about it

"Benedict said you can buy one in the capital of Emir"

But even before Don open his mouth Arrora questioned

"You need to pass through Virnam to go Emir right? Isn't that dangerous especially after everything that happened with your face exposed?"

Knight let out a chuckle

"Face won't be a problem"

Arrora saw Don nodded towards her

"Yes let's not waste any time I can reach Virnam if I go now"

Seeing Don turns to leave Arrora stopped him by moving before him

"Don take me with you"

Don and Knight were shocked to hear Arrora's request as Knight immediately shook his head

"Are you crazy? You'll just be a bur"

"I've reached the great master level"

Before Knight could finish what he was saying Arrora dropped a surprise and unexpected shell on them.
