Compared to the other three vice-captains carping over Aaron's words, Captain B?li had other thoughts after seeing his sincere expression. "I believed in Aaron's ability. So, who is this human?" He said, shutting their grumbling.
Aaron took a break and answered: "Sire, it's this human." He made a carving motion in the air with his finger while releasing his internal energy. It condensed, forming the image of a devilish-looking youth.
"Ah, what in Medusa's name is that thing?!" exclaimed the other four, including Captain B?li this time.
Indeed, it was their first time seeing something like this; a grotesque-looking appearance of Bobby in his satanic form!
After a moment of surprise, Captain B?li took out a portrait and said, comparing them: "He's that human!"
"What?" Bípǎshā said.
Passing the portrait to her, Captain B?li said, "The HRG fella!" (Human Revolutionary Group!)
"Ah, of course, it's the same guy!" Bípǎshā exclaimed in surprise. The other vice-captains also checked the portrait and agreed with him.
"But one thing is not adding up. Why is Chieftain Juno working with a lowly Human from the Central continent? No, he must be working for the human." She questioned.
"Good question." Captain B?li further added, "One thing is for sure, this Human killed our town leader, KóKó Chá! Meaning, he's way stronger than Chieftain Juno and also every one of us here."
Aaron quickly caught up with his words. "Ah! So, you mean Juno has already defected to the human side."
"I concur with that. The strange weapon Juno used to defeat those three Vice-captains must be from this human." Bípǎshā added.
"Finally, something we can all agree on." Captain B?li praised her.
"Good one, sis!" Aaron praised her too, but the response was still a sassy reaction from Bípǎshā.
Sensing a strange sensation, B?li turned around, furrowing his brows. "Who?!" He cried.
Along with a gust of wind, a voluptuous lady, Nagina with red hair and a reddish-scally tail, appeared and snatched the portrait from Bípǎshā. After a quick look, she turned to Damien's image of Satanic form in the air and said, "Hehehe, thank goodness, I'm also looking for this human."
Captain B?li recognized her in a glance. "What are you doing here, Countess Meera?" He asked with a stern tone.
"Hmm, that's my line, brat! What are you doing here in my territory?... Forget it," Countess Meera continued. "Her Majesty, the Goddess Medusa has communed me, ordering me to capture this human alive at all cost."
Pointing at the image, she further added, "Brat, tell me where he is. Right now,"
Usually, Captain B?li would never cooperate with her but hearing the name of Goddess Medusa, he had no other way but to cooperate with her this time. And her way of addressing him kind of pissed him off. However. considering their age gap, it was quite plausible.
"Fine, but I have a condition." He demanded.
"I'm listening." Countess Meera said, combing her cascading, long red hair.
"Let my team join the hunt. I mean– you better do a proper oath." B?li responded.
"Okay," Countess Meera agreed readily. Then she made an official oath in the name of Goddess Medusa with mutually favorable terms and conditions for sharing the benefits of the hunt. "Alright, make this quick."
Nodding politely, B?li said, "My comrade Aaron here, has the unique ability of clairvoyance. He'll help us track them."
Under his order, Aaron cast his ability once again and soon found the trace of the energy signature left by the flying vessel.
Mounting on the gigantic Gray Python, Aaron drove the Gray Python in the right direction. Countess Meera also joined the gang.
Countess Meera observed the five while they flew, causing them slight discomfort with her caresses, causing itching headaches. Her eyes glinted with amber red as she observed their current energy levels. And this continued for the next three minutes.
Unable to bear it anymore, B?li opened his mouth. "Madam Meera, can you stop invading our privacy, politely please?"
"Huh! I thought you men liked this feeling, a lot." Countess Meera responded in a teasing tone. "Hehehe, what's wrong with you bunch?
"The hell do I like? I'm a LADY!" Bípǎshā blurted, speaking out her mind. The next instant, she covered her mouth and said, with a blush, "Oopsie! I don't mean it."
Countess Meera glared at her, making her all frightened. She then stretched out her hand slowly.
Feeling a monstrous aura, Bípǎshā froze as she realized the lady was even way stronger than KóKó Chá. Trembling, she shut her eyes.
"Oh, come on. Stop scaring my ranks." B?li tried to help her.
However, Countess Meera was way faster as she flicked lightly over her forehead.
"Bahahaha," Bursting into a peal of hysterical laughter, she said in an easy-going way. "She's cute! Hahaha, do you seriously think I'll harm such a pretty thing?"
"Ouch-ouch!" Bípǎshā cried softly as she caressed her forehead.
"Little girl, I've got a nice proposition. Why don't you join my Triple Tower Town's Red Rose Society?" Countess Meera suggested with a brilliant smile. "Oh, and don't worry about this brat B?li. I'll give you ten times he offers you."
"Madam! What is the meaning of this? This is not what we agreed on." Captain B?li couldn't stay silent anymore.
"Relax, Cap! I'm not going anywhere." Bípǎshā said telepathically to him.
Then she turned to the countess and said in a servile tone: "Thanks for the offer, Your Excellency. It's a very tempting offer and I'm flattered. However, this girl has taken an oath to follow Captain B?li until my last breath… So, sorry, I've to decline."
Only after hearing her last words, Captain B?li took a sigh of relief as he pondered, 'After all, she is my best subordinate. Thank goodness! She choses me.'
"Oh, she's also someone who values camaraderie. Girl, I'm liking you even more and more." Countess Meera said. But sensing the unfriendly gaze from Bali, she further added, "Calm down, brat! I'm just teasing her."
Realizing something, she became serious all of a sudden and said with a cold tone, " I change my mind. If you don't want me to snatch this girl away from your little den, then you better open up to me... Alright, tell me. Just what happened in the woods of Gray Python Rift Valley?"
"Nothing important," B?li responded.
"Don't fuck with me, brat? I've been there too and seen a lot of signs of a large-scale fight there." Countess Meera threatened him. Then she further added turning to another snake-man, "Perhaps, this Aaron brat can relate to me over that, right?"
Shaking his head B?li smiled wryly and instructed his subordinate to recount all the details he found out to the countess. which the latter recounted some theories and visions, he saw through his clairvoyance ability while avoiding some details.
Countess Meera pondered deeply reconnecting all the dots and opened her mouth, asking: "I've done some business with Chieftain Juno before. And I know his strength. There is no way he could defeat three vice-captains of Bourbon Town. So, what am I missing here? Are you insulting my intelligence?" And an unconstrained killing intent radiated, defusing in the surrounding area and making all of them kneel on the ground.
Later, Aaron retold his finding without leaving anything behind.
