Pandemonium Of A Lazy Soul 42 Episode 41-Finding A Treasure Among Trashes

"Do you want us to find him?" I shook my head

"Nah, he is an old friend of mine. We were just catching up. p.i.s.sing him off is the last mistake anyone can ever do." I said, as I noticed the twitching eyebrows of Seban. He is probably thinking 'Then why the h.e.l.l did you torture and beat him up.'

Although angels aren't allowed to hurt anyone during their holidays, when they are wearing human skin, but once you force their hand and make them shed their human sh.e.l.l, then that's when bloodbath starts happening.

I was able to recognise Zel as angel instantly was because of 2 things: 1- although he had a really pretty face, no one took notice of him, most likely using divine energy to blend in, 2-I was able to see that he was using divine energy to disguise his hair.

The thing that confirmed my a.s.sumption that he was an angel was because when all of us were eating I noticed, that when everyone was drawn towards the taste of the food, he was sat there like he was eating cabbage. That mean only one thing, he has eaten food much better than that, and putting all the clues together the only a.s.sumption was that he was an angel.

As for the reason why, he was so weak was simple. Most go for holiday to experience a life as mortal. So, they tend to seal their powers when they are using their mortal bodies, and only use the power system of the world they are in to fight back. Zel probably didn't even get a chance to use his award or magi as he was bound by ice. Poor guy, seeing him made me so happy and angry that I vented all my rage and frustration at him. Luckily he understood my plight and emotions, otherwise I would have been screwed.

"Get everyone together and come with me. We need to talk." I said as I left the restaurant with the 7 of them tagging along, as we walked among the busy merchant district.

"Seban we will walk around the busy district. This is the best place to talk, as even using a rank 4 magi spell to hear us will make it hard to listen in to our conversation with the loud background noise." Seban and his team nodded, as they paid attention to what I wanted to say.

"I need all of you to die within 1 months' time." I said as the 7 behind me where shocked and awaiting to see what I would explain.

"Are you sure?" Asked Albert to his spy, that was a.s.signed to watch John.

"100%" The spy replied.

"What is it Albert?" Asked a tired James who seemed to be getting healed by few of the royal healers. Since John's drama on the court the emperors condition has been getting worse, as he often lost control due to his unstable emotions.

"Your majesty John seemed to have met someone in the street, who later went with him to his store only for John to drug him and torture him." Albert said

"Wait, could it be the white-haired man?" If it was James from 3 months ago he would have ignored a report like this. But since 3 months, James would be paranoid about every action that John take. Especially a big move such as this where he took someone from the street and tortured him.

Albert shook his head. "I don't know but there could be a possibility, the man is different from the vague description we had. After bounding the other person in ice and torturing him for 30 minutes John released him and asked the mercenaries to wait out. Then John proceeded to kick that man for 5 minutes. Then after a while, John sat down and the man slowly stood up, while threatening John."

"Then?" The emperor asked eagerly.

"There is no then your majesty, the agents observing them forgot what happened next, as all they remember after that is seeing John standing alone in that room. They then saw Seban and team coming in only for John to stop them from searching for that man saying he was 'an old friend' and going after him is the 'last mistake anyone can do'. The weird thing is that the time between the man standing up and threatening John and John calling in Seban only happened for 10 seconds."

The emperor's brows furrowed. "Hang on, ask them if they are capable of remembering his face?" The emperor suddenly ordered Albert.

Albert nodded as he asked the agent, who proceeded to describe him "He was a young man, with long black hair ...., strange I can't remember his face". The agent tried hard to describe as Albert and James stared in horror at the tears leaving his face.

"Albert it is him. Send all agents to find him, no wonder he was able to cure the plague since it seemed he is somehow related to John." Albert ordered the agent to search for a young man with the given description in the whole empire.

After sending out everyone from the room Albert asked the Emperor "Your majesty do you think, he is someone who has inherited?"

The emperor nodded "Most likely. Since there seems to be no one on our record that matches with the ability to wipe memories at a large scale."

Alberts face lost all colour. "Do you think John knows?" The whole royal court is already afraid of John without any abilities. Now if John had an ability as well, then all their hope at even stopping him is gone.

"It won't make any difference, as he won't be able to acquire that power without magi particle or principle particles." The emperor shook his head as he explained.

"But now we know how John kept meeting his backer without us noticing." Mused a smiling emperor.

"They seemed to have wiped our or any of our agents' memories each time they meet." Smiled back Albert.

"Make sure from now on all agents observing John have a recording device placed in their all clothes, and make sure whatever they see or hear, when John is meeting someone to record it down." Ordered the emperor as Albert nodded.

Not only James the 2nd but all notable commandments who had spies watching John, ordered the same thing for their agents watching John.

"Are you sure about this plan? Wouldn't you be vulnerable when we are gone?" Asked Flint while they walked among the crowds

"Pretty sure, it is better you are gone. Otherwise once they get a chance, you guys would suffer a fate worse than death. Besides currently my safety is those 3's main priority. They will make sure I survive any situation." I said

We kept walking as they took in what I said. As we were walking past an alley we hear someone shout"He is finally dead. Let's run before the guard come here."

Suddenly some young teens, between the age of 15 to 17, ran out of the alley, with bruised face. Seeing this I stopped.

I walked into the alley, to see the person who the kids apparently killed. There amongst the trashes laid a boy who had a sharp metal pipe piercing through his right lungs. Blood and flesh were sticking out of the pipe.

I went up to him to check his pulse. Interesting even near the verge of death I could see from his face that he kept worrying about someone.

"Jemma." Jemma nodded as she came up to cast a cleansing spell, while Rebecca and Seban slowly lifted him off the ground. Mathew went behind the body to take out the pipe. Mathew counted down from 5 as he slowly moved the pipe from the back. As soon as the pipe was out, and he counted to "0" Jemma casted a rank 4 healing magi.

His condition stabilised after 10 minutes of casting various spells. The teen slowly seemed to be waking up. "Go back!" I ordered them as they disappeared from the alleyway. I waited in front of him as he slowly opened his blue eyes.
