Chapter 239- Timon

Words : 999 Updated : Oct 1st, 2025

In the dead of night, where the rays of the sun had no reach, a figure walked across the expanse of the sandy soil towards a large incomplete building, guarded by light. His figure was covered in a dull cloak, and beside him were two others in the same cloak. They had just approached a building that stood out from the rest, as it was guarded by men in armour. There were magical lamps placed around the building to spark life into the area while men in armour walked around to guard it. In front of the door leading to the building were two men, whose gazes were fixed on the approaching figures. They glanced at each other and gave way, opening the giant doors at the same time. The three figures didn't hesitate and walked in, their footsteps echoing in the quiet air as they did so. Two other guards appeared in front of the trio and led them forward, towards a known location. They were now walking through a large corridor, where statues in knight armour stood across the landscape and magical lamps fluttered at the side of the ceilings. The extravagant nature of the floor and ceiling, which were both ceramic, was a contrast to the exterior of the building, which seemed like it was about to collapse. As the five figures walked with vigour, they approached a stairway where the two guards stopped and two others continued. The trio did nothing but oblige and follow. Now, the two new guards led them up the stairs while they remained in silence. The only occasional noise was the sound of their footsteps. They continued this until they got to the fifth floor, where a single guard stood watch with pristine white armour. The two guards stopped in their tracks while the trio continued forward until they stopped in front of the guard. A tense silence ensued until the guard gave the trio a curt nod, before taking a step to his side and gesturing for them to go in. The man in the middle scoffed and walked towards the door, violently pushing it open as he did so, while his two partners followed quietly. As the door closed, the man in pristine armour glanced at the other guards for a moment before shaking his head and sighing. "You shouldn't come to me when you're upset". A masculine voice pierced through the air as the three figures pulled down their cloak in the room. The well-lit room was actually a study, with books kept haphazardly at the corners of it and a table and chair placed at the centre end of it. There a man with grey hair sat, his right hand fiddling with a dagger while his left held a jug. Next to the jug was a glass of red wine. "Timon, we need to do something". The familiar voice pierced the silence as he took a seat in front of the desk while his two subordinates stood by his sides. Timon remained silent for a moment, but suddenly adjusted himself on his seat. "Tell me. Do you perhaps have a plan?" He asked. Neuj shook his head in dejection as he sighed. "Not a bit, and that is why I have come to you. Let us rally the others and fight against Ziza at the upcoming meeting. Killing a threat is better than fanning the flames to reap the benefits". Timon chuckled lightly. "You know me well, but that will be difficult for me....Neuj. If this kid is as dangerous as you make him seem, then I will act but defeating fifteen of your girls does not make him look strong". He turned away from their gazes. "in fact, it makes him look weak". Neuj bit down hard on his lip in anger as he curled his fists into a tight ball. "This isn't right, Timon. We need to work together". "Gather the others then. You came to me because I'm more rational than those two, right? Get them to act with you, and I will join". Another sudden silence ensued, leaving the people gathered to their thoughts. Neuj had come here knowing fully well that his former mentor would have put down his offer, but he still did it anyway because of the disparity of the situation. Raph had proven too inconsistent to them, not only in action but in abilities. 'is identity. I will figure it out even if it is the last thing I do'. He thought. He sighed as he prepared to stand when a knock on the door pierced through the silence. Timon's gaze flickered as his gaze went to the door. It slowly opened, revealing Yael with a nervous expression. "What do you want, Yael?" Timon asked with an annoyed tone. "haven't I ordered you to stay at your post?" "No–No My Lord. We have a bit of a situation," he replied with an awkward chuckle as he closed the door behind him. "Y–You know I would never disobey my Lord!" he yelled out loud as he turned towards the four people gathered and bowed. Silence followed but it was broken by Timon's question. "What is it?" He asked. "and be quick with it". "My–My Lord. Remember the werewolf girl I told you about?" He asked. At that moment, Neuj's gaze flickered as he glanced at Timon. "..What about it?" Timon asked with a sigh. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire "It turns out....She's actually with the Blind Swordsman and some bounty hunters are here for her". Timon's gaze flickered for a moment as he sunk back in his thoughts. 'Did he just say bounty hunters?' He wondered. "Did you say bounty hunters?" Neuj asked in curiosity while the two girls by his side glanced at the man as well. It seemed the whole room had picked interest in his last statement.@@@@
