Chapter 379 - Where Is The Hostage- Part 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Barron could not hear a thing that was being spoken by Belle and Greed. He banged his head on the window. He continued to look at Belle who suddenly turned to full bones and Barron pulled back. Was Belle the one who was caught by the Hawverts?! And she was trying to escape? Asked Barron to himself when he noticed her going in the other direction which was the route to go up and not down.
"You are heading in the wrong direction!" Barron screamed, "Who is that dumbass who is leading you into trap?! ARGH!"
He looked up and down the tower he had climbed down from, before his ears flopped down that he had to go up to save Belle before the Hawvert would catch her. What was Lucas doing?! Thinking that Barron started to climb back up the way he had descended.
Belle and Greed started to head back quickly once her dead form was back in shape, "I need to keep checking if I turn to a mortal now," she muttered under her breath.
On the other hand in the arena which was built for sparing and to hold meetings for the dead, Lucas made his way through the crowd of the dead who had gathered in here. The arena was nothing less to a posh theatre in the land of the living. Having a stage at the front centre, there were continuous galleries that were attached to the floors.
The chatter died down when the three Hawverts stepped on to the stage. Lucas stared at Winston, Crane and Gorron. Crane was the one who raised his hand to have the dead people quiet down. The meeting always took in the presence of the three of them. It would be easier for Belle and Greed to rescue Barron and get out from here.
"People of the dead, do not look confused right now as we finished a meeting a few hours ago. It has come to my notice that the death reapers had notified us minutes ago that they had caught sight of the fallen Grims in one of the lands of the living. In Bonelake. But they have escaped," stated Crane to the crowd.
Lucas moved to another side, getting a better look at them while still being hidden and away from the Hawverts sight. The Grim reapers who still continued to serve the dead stood behind them- Edith, Edgar, Moore and others, except for Rower.
"As the menace of the fallen Grims continues, I and the other Hawverts have decided to double the amount of bounty that was previously placed on the fallen Grims," Crane informed to leave the others in shock. Nobody ever had this high bounty placed on their head. Whispers and murmurs started to fill in the arena. The excitement started to bubble at the fact that there was more money awarded.
Lucas wondered how difficult it was going to be in getting out from the land of the dead. That was if they could, because even if Crane didn't know about Barron right now, the word would soon spread about the fourth Grim being here. Nobody liked a missing person, especially not when the Grim was caught to only slip out of their hands.
"The offer can be taken by anyone in this room and not just the death reapers but that isn't all," and the room fell silent. Crane then said, "Each person who brings the Fallen Grim to us, we will give them the position of the card. You will be the new card of the Grim," he said it out loud, raising both his hands.
Lucas didn't stay too long and he instead started to walk away from there. He had to go and find Belle and Greed quickly. Barron was like dangling meat right now.
Belle and Greed continued to walk until they saw no one and they started to run, "Why can't Lucas apparate?" asked Belle.
"Similar to the split magic in the land of the living, we have the forbidden magic which is being spilt. Criminals cannot escape from here. Like us," answered Greed and Belle nodded her head. The security was less tight as they went up and they finally came to meet two death reapers who were on the ground.
What happened here? Asked Belle to herself before they made their way to the room. Belle caught sight of a chair that was at the centre of the room. It had chains around it but there was no Barron in here.
"Do you think he is being kept somewhere else?" asked Belle, her eyes looking around the empty room.
"His scent is here. He should have been here," stated Greed. Did they already send Barron to oblivion? Belle hoped it was not so, to think that they were late, her hand came to touch her boney face.
When she and Lucas had gone to the forest where the explosion had taken place, Lucas had used the ability of smell to track Barron down.
They had searched for Barron first but he was not there. It wasn't just his soul but also Mr. Fluffs was missing, "He must be somewhere here. We need to look for him. Can you try sniffing the air and track him down to see where he is?"
Greed was not keen on this but they had already come here this far. He gave her a nod, "Okay. The smell might be faint and we don't know exactly where he is being kept," and she left the room with Greed who was trying to sniff the air.
They started to head down, smelling the direction whilst Belle checked her hands to make sure that they would not be caught red-handed by one of the death reapers who were walking in the corridors and stairs.
When they did reach a floor, Greed stopped, "I can't smell him after this. It feels like his scent disappeared after this place."
Barron, where are you? Asked Belle to herself.
