Chapter 237 Orakha Reveals His Scheme
"You must be the 44th Empyrean Tusk''s sessor." Orakha muttered in relief as he observed his eyes tearing up subconsciously, "Damn, my instincts as a Mammoth nsman are raving about now."
"You''re…Orakha, right?" Gann took a second guess, for even though she could feel that the other party was part of her immune system, there was something odd about him. It felt like he could or couldn''t be a Mammoth nsman, all at his sole discretion.
"Did In tell you about me?" Orakha let out a bright smile, "Please tell me he didn''t reveal anything strange about me."
"I''m not sure," Gann acted casual as she nonchntly walked past Orakha and grabbed Asaeya. She carried her to the side and ced her on the ground, feeding her the contents of a vial to aid in her recovery.
All along, Gann could feel Orakha''s eyes on her, trailing her actions. Acting unconcerned, she said, "He did say you were very smart, probably the smartest of his friend circle,"
"But he also said that you''re incredibly stupid."
"What the…hey, that''s messed up," Orakhained. His eyes then darted towards Asaeya as he asked, "Is this prettydy your mother?"
"Is she pretty in your eyes?" Gann asked back.
''Is she really four years old?'' Orakha frowned mentally, feeling that Gann was way smarter for her age, possessing not a single semnce of innocence and naivety that someone her age ought to have. She was more mature than most adults.
All along, even after seeing that Orakha had attacked Asaeya, she maintained her calm and acted natural while bringing Asaeya to safety and treated her. Her calmness, her collective analysis of the situation, and the confidence above all to act on her beliefs, all were terrifying.
"Yeah, very." Orakha nodded, expressing his interest, "Can you answer my question though? Is she your mother?"
"Well, what do you think?" Gann answered with a question instead.
"I don''t think you''re rted." Orakha analysed, "None of your features match, from your temperament to your physique. You look like a splitting image of In, so maybe your mother''s traits weren''t strong enough."
"You''re right," Gann patted Asaeya''s forehead gently and observed thetter was recovering, still unconscious, "She''s not my mother."
"Sweet!" Orakha grinned, "Then, you wouldn''t mind if I make her the mother of my child, right?"
"Hold your horses, young man!" Gann liked an annoyed kid as she approached Orakha, extending her hand for a handshake, "Introductionse first!"
"…" Upon seeing Gann approach him, Orakha instinctively reacted and leaped behind,tching onto a corner of the ceiling in the living room like a lizard. His breathing was slightly haggard as he stared at her in rm, "What are you doing?"
"Handshake…?" Gann tilted her head in confusion, "Isn''t that how we do things?"
"I''ll pass," Orakha calmed himself andnded on the floor, dusting himself, "I don''t believe in handshakes. We can talk from a distance."
"Distance?" Gann smiled as her eyes formed crescent moons. An instantter, her figure flickered before Orakha, aiming a full-powered punch to his groin.
An energy barrier appeared over Orakha''s groin, denting upon the impact. His face turned pale as he was sent flying out of the cave.
The cave was positioned close to the top of the Guna Cave region. Hence at its edge, there was a cliff, spanning a height of five kilometres. Sent flying by her punch, Orakha made an arc and fell through the height of five kilometres.
"Hmm…" Gann stared at her fists to see that they were bruised, "He''s strong."
Her Prana surged to her fist and instantly healed her bruise. She walked to the cave''s entrance and peered out, hearing shockwaves from below as something seemed to be making its way up at a rapid speed.
Suddenly, an eerie energy serpent, shadowy in nature, almost a haze red up andtched onto the wall of the cliff adjacent to the cave. It then reeled as its body shrunk, bringing up the figure of Orakha attached to its tail.
"It''s too soon for you to beat up your beloved uncle!" Orakha shouted as he hovered a few metres away from Gann, his body floating in the air, maintained and tethered by the shadowy serpent trailing out of his body.
"Why don''t you start speaking, Orakha?" Gann''s expression turned frosty as she said, "Not a word uttered by you since the start has been the truth."
"Why have youe here?"
"I see, so that''s how it is." Orakha nodded as he stared at Gann, "So, you have already gone through all of In''s memories."
"That''s…" He exhaled softly before suddenly, intense killing intent radiated out of his being, "Annoying!"
"Do you seriously n to kill your fellow nsman for a treasure?" Gann turned nervous upon seeing the extent of Prana radiating from Orakha, ''This guy is strong. His abilities seemplexly mysterious. If only I could touch his body once. I''ll be able to figure out all his ns and secrets.''
Even though Gann had inherited everything from the previous Gann, she hadn''t taken on her official post yet. Meaning, the Mammoth nsmen part of the 44th Settlement hadn''t touched her.
Only when this contact happens would her Prana naturally ept them as part of her immune system. When that happens, they''ll innately be subservient to her, with their thoughts influenced for her benefit.
That was why Orakha was unwilling to touch her. Moreover, he didn''t wish for Gann to read his memories, for that would mean In wouldtere to know everything about him.
This was dangerous, since they were rivals gunning for the same set of treasures. If In were to know everything about Orakha, then it would be impossible for Orakha to win against In.
Based on the information he absorbed from the Transcendent Eater regarding Resha and the reincarnates, he understood that scheming types such as In and Vir were his worst opponents.
As long as Orakha loses initiative in terms of information, it would be impossible for him to win against those two.
Currently, in terms of strength, Resha was the strongest among the seven, followed by Orakha. Inparison, both In and Vir were damn weak. But in terms of their preparations and sess rate in obtaining the Major Treasure of Attribute, they were leading everyone by arge margin.
''The one with the greatest possibility of obtaining the Attribute is either In or Vir. Everyone else is too far behind in their preparations.'' Orakha knew this fact. Hence, he was unwilling to touch Gann and reveal all his information.
If Gann knows, she is bound to reveal it to In, her father.
"I have no intention of killing him. After all, he''s a necessity in killing the Boar King." Orakha said, "But, I would love it if he''s dyed. After all, I don''t want him tofortably n and develop in the Brimgan Empire and get the Attribute. I know he''s aiming for that. Hence,"
"I have to apologise in advance." The shadowy serpent vanished as Orakha''s figure dropped down.
"You!" Gann shouted in rm as she arrived at the edge and looked out, rmed upon seeing a horde of Pranic Beasts rushing in her direction. The Pranic Beasts aiming for her weren''t just from the wilderness. But even the ones part of the Guna Caves were rushing towards her.
[Gann! There''s a wave!]
The Empyrean Zinger Queen''s rmed shout resounded as immediately, the ground tremored. Gann stomped the ground in anger, "Orakha!"
