Chapter 351 - Why Me?? - Part 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Belle looked down at the dust that remained on the ground of her aunt, "Do you think there are others like this?" she questioned because if her aunt was walking freely into her home, where she had travelled by the carriage, wasn't it possible that things were not the same at her aunt's home?
"We don't know about that," replied Lucas, "Maybe the invitation might help in knowing if we have any more cases like this."
Barron, who shifted his gaze from the ground to look at Belle, asked, "Are you happy about her death?"
"I wouldn't say I was sad," came the truthful reply from Belle and Barron's ears moved up.
"Get the maids to clean this up. Spotless," ordered Lucas and Greed was the one who left the room. The master and slave bond went much deeper in the world of the dead that every word was to be followed which was why Barron had refused to create one with Lucas, instead, demanding to be the master and not the slave.
Barron stared at Lucas for some time and then asked, "What happened to your hellhound? I saw it run past the gates."
"I called him. There were some death reapers who I met when I finished sending the girl's soul back. Dropping the shield was going to attract many death reapers and hellhounds," said Lucas before continuing, "I found something very interesting from them."
"What was that?" asked Barron, his soft, fluffy legs moving forward to follow Lucas and Belle when they stepped away from the scene where the switcher had been killed in the land of the living.
"They have all our posters placed in the land of the living," stated Lucas and Barron raised his hands, shrugging his shoulders.
"I know that already. What did you expect from the Hawverts?" asked Barron.
Lucas stopped walking and then said, "There's a bounty on each of our heads that is in thousands. And yes, the fifth person to fall from the position is Wrath. They don't know where he is, and I doubt they know his reasons, not like they know any of ours."
Wrath was the one of the first four of Grims, the oldest one and it made everyone curious as to why he had fallen and had gone missing from the land of the dead, "Maybe we can try finding him?"?asked Belle.
"No," Lucas rejected the idea, "If I was able to hide my presence as the reaper, he can do it too. We will only be wasting our time on something unnecessary. I am on the second-highest list and then it's Wrath."
"The bounty?" on Belle's question, he gave her a nod.
"Balti must have taken the number one position," chuckled Barron, a snicker escaping from his rabbit mouth.
Greed now arrived with two maids whose eyes widened by looking at the mess that was caused in the drawing-room. They were carrying broomsticks in their hands and bowing their heads. They quickly made their way towards the room to clean up the mess.
"Greedy, you heard that?" asked Barron who was still laughing at the thought that Baltimore had been given the highest bounty as he was the first fallen Grim in the cards, "How much is the first place bounty?"
"One twenty thousand sickles." When Lucas gave out the number, Greed's eyebrows rose, his blue eyes turning bright at the money. Even Barron's ears turned straighter than ever.
Barron started to bob his head and then said, "You know what we are going to do? We are going to give Baltimore to the Hawverts and take money from them." Belle could tell Barron was eager to get the money of the dead, but she wondered if he had forgotten that he was part of the list too.
Lucas saw how Barron had moved towards the steps now. He said, "You didn't hear the full list."
"Oh, I don't care about my bounty. Little 'ole me will be at the bottom of the numbers," Barron waved his flabby hands in front like it was no big deal being part of the list.
The twelfth Grim's lips twitched at this, "Greed is the fourth person in the bounty, and the fifth is Baltimore to have the least ," he finally dropped the words when Barron had already placed one foot of his on the stair.
Belle was faster than Barron, and her eyes turned wide. The rabbit took another step before turning around and walked to stand in front of Lucas, "How is Balti in number one and number five? Did they split his bounty?"
Belle turned her head to look at the wall. She knew this was not the time to be smiling, but Barron had been so eager to have Baltimore handed to the Hawverts that he had turned excited not to hear what Lucas had to say completely.
"I never said the highest bounty was Baltimore, Barron," sighed Lucas.
Barron's ears fell on either side of his ears, "WHAT?!"
"WHY AM HAVING SUCH HIGH BOUNTY ON MY HEAD??!!!!" Barron asked in shock and Belle flinched at the loud voice, "You are joking!" the rabbit raised his hand, pointing towards Lucas.
"I am not. I am telling you what the death reapers said," Lucas' voice was calm as he said this and Barron was back to pulling his ears with his two cotton hands.
Even Greed who had been quietly listening to Lucas turned amused to say, "I guess we should indeed hand over the person who has the highest bounty to the Hawverts. It would be a shame to not cash-in those one twenty thousand sickles."
"I will kill you!!" Barron glared at Greed's suggestion.
Belle wondered if this is what it meant when one said, hunter becoming the hunted.
"Why would I be the one in the high list?!" the rabbit was in shock, "I didn't even do anything! Nor was I involved with the witches, nor the vampires! Not with the Hawverts!"
Greed who was standing behind said, "Maybe you can ask once we hand you over to them."
