It wasn't long before Bobby and his gangs were also out of Bourbon Town after leaving the town leader's manor.
Shadow Slave quickly rented a portable size ship and as they were about to board the ship, a shadow flickered, materializing into a figure. "Vice Captain Kunch, why are you blocking my path? Do you have something to discuss with me?" He asked, looking at the middle-aged-looking snake-man.
Kunch laughed and spoke in a friendly way raising both his hands as if he surrendered, "Brother Jugo, you and your joke. Hahaha, actually I'm here to bid you farewell." Then he took a peek at Layla and continued, "Oh, the two slaves are still following you. So, even the town leader failed to comply with your demand, right?"
Shadow Slave didn't respond. Instead, he glanced at him as a fool for even asking such a silly question. "Alright, May Medusa bless you, Vice-Captain Kunch!" He greeted him by touching his forehead. Just after that, the other also reciprocated his greeting, "You too, brother Juno."
Shadow Slave didn't bat another eye as he boarded the ship. Bobby and Layla also followed closely behind him.
Her female seventh sense felt Vice-Captain Kunch's dirty eyes roaming at her rear. So, Layla whispered, cursing: "Ahh, that bastard is doing it again. I like to put a bullet between his eyes."
Bobby touched her hand and said, clasping tightly, "Be patient. Soon I'll gouge those eyes out and let you decide how to kill him and that KoKo Cha too."
Afterward, the portable ship embarked on its new voyage to Triple Towers Town. From the deck, Bobby, who was leaning all this time slightly stood straight up and gave a glance at Kunch, who was still eyeing them from the port.
Upon meeting their eyes, Vice-Captain Kunch fell backward while shivering, as if his body's instincts were experiencing impending doom.
"Ahh! Those eyes," Kunch exclaimed in fright and the next thing, he shook his head and added, calming himself, "He is just a lowly savage. There is no need to ponder on such a stupid thing." But the next thing, he felt the buzzing from inside his robe, so he pulled it out and said, looking at the charred black token, "It's the Town Lord's voice transmission."
He infused his Essence qi into it and closed his eyes, speaking telepathically with him through the token.
"Tenth Vice-captain Kunch, get ready. Call all your ten mamba assassins. We are going on a secret mission to the Gray Python Rift valley." KoKo Cha spoke. "Come to my palace immediately.
"Roger that!" Kunch responded politely, and the line ended. Then he looked in the direction where the portable rented ship had just left and a sudden realization struck his mind. "Wait a minute! What is the purpose of Leader Ko suddenly briefing me? And why must I go in the same direction as the cunning snake Jugo?.... Oh, I understand. Hee-hee-hee, since the bargain of selling the two slaves went wrong, he is taking the extreme way to take them back by killing that bastard. Wow, this is my golden chance to step on him and earn a favor from Leader Ko." Then in a good mood, his figure turned blurry and disappeared from that spot.
Just like that, back inside the Town leader's palace, under KoKo Cha's order, all the ten vice-captains were summoned. But only three of them turned up, including Kunch, as others had left the town for their specific tasks.
In the Bourbon town, the highest authority was the Town Leader, followed by the captain and the ten vice-captains, according to their strengths. So there was a conflict of political interest between Captain Bali and Leader KoKo Cha. Hence, KoKo Cha didn't summon Captain Bali as it had to do with his personal matters.
Inside the hall, there were three snake-mans besides KoKo Cha and his Butler Kurr. The other three were the Second Vice-captain Buma, the fourth Vice-Captain Shikan, and the tenth Vice-Captain Kunch.
After serving the three vice-captains a pleasant lunch, KoKo Cha opened his mouth. "Gentlemen, I've got a particular interest in summoning all of you here today. It's something to do with my personal reputation. Are you willing to lend a hand this time?"
The three Vice-Captains agreed readily as they were always the hardcore supporters among the ten Vice-captains.
"We will do anything for you. So, what task do you have for us, sir?" Vice-Captain Kunch asked courteously. The other two also looked at him curiously.
After observing the three, KoKo Cha called, "Butler Kurr will do the briefing." Then he continued drinking those red wines made from fermenting Human organs.
Butler Kurr, who had been standing silent on the back of KoKo Cha, stood forward and began his speech, speaking elegantly: "I believe everyone here must have heard about Juno, the Great Chieftain of the Oak Tree Tribe!" He continued, "Half an hour ago, he came to our town bringing along two slaves to sell to our Leader Ko! His prices are so ridiculous that the deal was pulled off. But instead of walking out of there peacefully, he announced proudly that he will sell them to Countess Meera of the Triple Towers Town. This is an act of utter disrespect to our leader and the town. Even a measly Chieftain like him has the gut to look down on us. So, we are planning to launch a surgical strike on him."
"Who is with me?" KoKo Cha shouted, raising his hand.
"I'm in your service, milord!" responded the three Vice-Captains while touching their forehead as a custom of showing their loyalty to him.
"Good! Then I'll tell you the plan." KoKo Cha added.
The Second Vice-Captain Buma raised his hand and asked, "Sire, I have a doubt!... Chieftain Juno is at most as strong as me. Leader Ko can take care of him alone easily. But why need our assistant?" The other two also seemed to agree with his question.
"Good question!" KoKo Cha responded, "Chieftain Juno is not a simple target. Usually, he always acts quite subservient to me while dealing with our business…
