Chapter 208 Cold Pursuit
Chapter 208 Cold Pursuit
In a distant planet, where everywhere was covered in snow, four ice golems were brutally killed while some human laid on the floor unconscious seemingly from being beaten up by someone stronger than them.
That was when a masked figure could be seen pointing his sword at another human that was now shaking in fear after seeing what the masked figure had did to his men.
The masked man asked for information about a particular thing but the man who a sword was pointed at, couldn't reply as he didn't know the answer to the question.
This frustrated the masked figure who turned out to be Jake in his attire as the werewolf slayer.
"Then If you couldn't answer that, you can at least answer this." Jake said. "And if I don't like your answer… let's just leave it at that."
Alfred gulped loudly as he could feel that this man wasn't kidding and really meant everything he said.
"Where is your leader keeping the Rave lord? The leader of Raven city?" Jake asked.
Alfred gulped loudly at this question as he was now scared for his life.
"I… I know the answer to that, I know where he's being kept." Alfred said.
'Very good, I can at least help Helen this way. If I can find where her is being kept, I can rescue him and use his strength to take down the leader of the Iron Fist Guild.' Jake smiled.
"But…" Alfred said interrupting Jake's thought.
"But what?" Jake asked sternly.
"But if you want to rescue him, it will be near impossible because of where he is being kept." Alfred said.
"And where is he being kept?" Jake asked angrily pushing his sword a little deep into Alfred's skin.
Alfred could see that this man meant business and if he gave an answer he didn't like, he would be dead instantly.
'But if I tell him the information, I would be betraying my guild.' Alfred thought as he looked at the werewolf slayer again.
'And if I don't, I will be dead swiftly and no one would find my corpse out here. I doubt if there would even be a search party when I'm dead.'
"Will you answer my question now?" Jake asked.
"Yes, I will." Alfred said as he looked at the werewolf slayer then he started telling him everything he knew, where the Rave lord was kept and how difficult it was to get there not to think of rescuing him.
Hearing everything, Jake was at a loss of what to do and then he slowly backed away from Alfred who heaved a sigh of relief now seeing the 'monster' back away.
'It's almost impossible to get there, and then to infiltrate there, and try to rescue him, is like going on a suicide mission.' Jake thought.
'I'm sorry Helen, saving your dad will have to wait a little bit more time.' Jake thought then he turned around.
Alfred was confused why the werewolf slayer would suddenly turn around looking at the opposite direction. He soon got his answer as the werewolf strongly leapt through the air and then it looked like he disappeared from view.
"How is that possible? How can a human disappear like that?" Alfred asked as he slowly made his way to where the werewolf slayer stood earlier before seemingly disappearing.
That was when Alfred could hear groans on the side and he turned around to see his men coming around with one eye opening his eye up and slowly getting up while wincing in pain.
The rest slowly stood up also while holding their bodies that were in pain.
"Hope you aren't all terribly injured?" Alfred asked.
"Nothing Qi can't heal." One eye replied then he suddenly remembered something. "Where is he? Where is that monster?"
Alfred just briskly walked towards one eye and wacked him on his head in anger.
"You hotheaded fool! Why did you have to attack him like that? Didn't you hear the name he called himself you fool?" Alfred asked angrily.
One eye was now deep in thought trying to remember what the mysterious man called himself and then it clicked in his head as his eyes widened in shock.
"Werewolf Slayer?!" One eye said.
One eye didn't really pay attention to what was being said earlier as he was sorely focused on getting the crystals back.
"What was he doing here?" Another member asked.
"Who knows." Alfred shrugged then he suddenly realized something.
"Hold on a sec, where's the newbie?" Alfred asked looking around and then the others suddenly realized that someone was missing amongst them.
"I'm right here!" Jake called out as he walked out of a huge mini ice mountain.
"Where were you?" One eye asked angrily.
"Exactly, you didn't help when we were hunting and when that Werewolf Slayer attacked, you were no where to be seen." Someone said.
"I'm sorry, I thought I could hunt alongside you all. But when I saw the beasts appear, I was so scared seeing their size and so I ran towards that ice mountain to hide." Jake said while pulling the most scared expression he could.
"You coward! What was the point of we accepting you to hunt with us when you only were not going to do anything?" One eye shouted as he walked towards Jake in anger.
'Don't come close or else, I won't be able to hold myself from killing you.' Jake thought as he looked at One eye heading his way.
One eye was now in front of Jake as he lifted his hand to smack Jake while Jake also had navigated to his system screen ready to equip his sword at a moment notice.
That was when a loud voice was heard.
"Enough!" Alfred shouted as he came over and pushed one eye back away from Jake.
"I have had enough with your hotheadedness. You do know that was what got us in trouble earlier and now you just want to pick a fight." Alfred said.
One eye just scoffed as he stomped his feet and headed away from Jake.
"Thank you for standing up for me." Jake said as he slightly bowed towards Alfred.
"It's okay." Alfred smiled and then looked back at the rest.
"Time to go." Alfred said as he pushed a button on the portable telepoter and a portal opened up in front of them while they stepped through one by one.
'Helen, you deserve to hear this information I got from Alfred, and anything you decide to do, I wills support you.' Jake thought as he stepped through the portal and it snapped shut a second later.
