Yale transformed into his adult form and changed his clothes to wide-sleeve ones.
Yale knew that a frontal battle or fleeing from the assaulters was impossible, he was planning to use one of his trump cards, but he doubted about which of them use.
Tar was without any doubts powerful, but he wasn’t the strongest in the world, Yale feared that was a bad idea summoning him without checking who the assaulters were.
Yale’s biggest fear was that the assaulters would be from the royal family of the Anpaes Kingdom, the royal family was the most fearsome power of the kingdom and summoning Tar against them wouldn’t ensure a victory while at the same time it could provoke a big scale war.
However, even though Yale knew that his past life’s power should be more powerful than Tar, he didn’t want to use it if he could use any other method.
Yale had the badge to summon Tar in his left hand, and the wide sleeve hid the hand. Yale did it to be able to summon Tar quickly at any moment.
Having Absolute Protection, Yale didn’t need to worry about lasting for some seconds, so he went out of the house to find the identity of the assaulters.
“Boss, a young man has appeared outside the house, he wasn’t on the report, but his strength is only at the Novice Rank, he isn’t a threat.”
A man with wings instead of arms shouted from the sky after seeing Yale.
“What? How did he escape to the illusion?”
A bulky man with bear ears appeared from the shadows and neared Yale quickly.
“Hey, little ant, can you tell me how you escaped from my illusion? I am only interested in capture that wolf woman, I can forgive your life if your answer pleases me.”
Yale didn’t doubt that the man was stronger than Aiwai after being in front of him, that man only used his subordinates to block all paths, to capture Aiwai he was more than enough.
“I am not sure; I had just advanced to the 4-star Novice Rank, maybe advancing in the correct moment helped me.”
There was no way Yale would tell the truth to them, but he indeed just advanced so he wasn’t lying either although that had nothing to do with avoiding the illusion.
“Oh, that is interesting, you are weak, but maybe it’s possible to investigate about that effect of your breakthrough. Turn into my lackey; I will help you to advance as long as you help me in the investigation. I am the overlord of this area, and I am already in the Rank 8, this is the best offer you will have in your life.”
The boss thought that killing Yale was easy and he wasn’t a threat to him, so using Yale to satisfy his curiosity instead of killing him was a great deal in the bear-eared man’s eyes.
Although he was really at the Rank 8, he had just advanced and was still starless, but that was enough for his organization to absorb the others in the area and turn into the overlord in a short time.
“I am honored to hear those words, but before accepting, I need to hear what do you want to do with that wolf woman you had mentioned before.”
Yale didn’t plan to accept the offer, but he wasn’t foolish enough to reject directly either, he wanted to obtain information.
“Right, you should have some relation with that wolf woman if you are here. We didn’t plan to kill her, but we obtained some information that when she was a child she had used Water Healing, we have first-hand information and there were a lot of people in her native clan who saw her using it. Her talent is very important to us, as long she becomes obedient we didn’t plan to harm her in the slightest.”
Yale was surprised that Aiwai knew Water Healing, but Wyba also was capable of doing it, so maybe it was something that Frost Winged Wolves could do even without Yale’s influence.
The bear-eared man noticed shock on Yale’s face.
“It is normal to be surprised, that woman hid it too well, if it wasn’t for that time she had used it when she was a child even with our intelligence net we shouldn’t be able to notice. We were about to attack her five days ago, but she had left, our spies notified us that she came back today with two kids, so we came to get her. You can see how awesome we are; if you behave well, you will have a good future with us.”
Yale finally saw with his own eyes until where the madness to get healers reached in the Anpaes Kingdom, even if she had only used it once in public and a lot of years ago, the assaulters had managed to know it.
All powers will quickly pursue any rumor about a healer, Aiwai had the luck that only one group had attacked her and only at that moment and not when she was a kid.
Usually, any half-beast would accept the bear-eared man’s offer and treat it as the chance of their lives even if they become experiment subjects and almost slaves.
After all, the Rank 8 was too high in the Anpaes Kingdom; if it weren’t because the bear-eared man had advanced to Rank 8 recently, he would already be famous among the kingdom experts. After all, he only looked like a middle-aged man, reaching that realm without looking like an old man showed that he had potential and his bloodline was extraordinary.
That fact, made him easier to absorb other powers as they willingly joined them, he had ten Rank 7 under his orders, the ten of them were leaders of other big organizations in the area he had absorbed.
Given the current organization’s power, even if they can’t threaten the royal family, it wouldn’t be weird if the royal family send someone to establish good relations with them.
It was only thanks to the current size of their organization that they had managed to discover Aiwai’s healing power, one of the lackeys who joined the organization was a Frost Wolf from her abandoned clan.
Furthermore, that lackey was just someone who was sure about Aiwai’s healing powers because the only time she used them in public was to heal him, he had sold his childhood savior and was very happy about the benefits he obtained afterward.
The organization of that man with the Frost Wolf bloodline only had a Rank 4 as the leader, they weren’t even a target as a powerful organization wouldn’t bother about them, but by selling that piece of information, they managed to join them and obtained a good status inside the organization. The Frost Wolf bloodline man had been waiting a lot of years until a good chance to sell that piece of information appeared.
“Boss, there wasn’t anyone inside the house, they have all disappeared.”
Some people appeared from inside the house. At that moment Yale was relieved that he had put Aiwai and Wyba in his Storage Space, that was the correct decision.
“Little ant, do you know something?”
Yale was the only one who appeared while their target disappeared, it would be impossible to not doubt about Yale.
“Maybe they awakened with the alarm and fled using some hidden passage? Today is my first time coming to this house; I don’t know the area well.”
The boss was annoyed by Yale’s answer, he couldn’t forget about the possibility, but he had difficulties to believe that Yale didn’t know anything nor he could accept that someone of Aiwai’s power will be able to dispel his illusion thanks to an alarm.
“Guys, capture that ant. Let’s use that method to extract all his memories and knowledge from his soul; I am sure that he knows more than he seems to know.”
There were techniques to spy the souls of others called soul-searching, but that usually ended with damage to the soul or even with death to the target.
To use such techniques, one requires a great level of power or complex rituals, but even the ritual had strength requirements to be used. The bear-eared man obtained by luck a formation to obtain search information from other’s souls but it also required a Rank 8 controlling it, so he had never used it before.
After discovering that Yale may know some secrets about his target, he thought Yale was a good subject test. After all, the chances of finding a healer were far more important than the reasons why Yale had avoided the illusion; the bear-eared man thought that he might even discover that after soul-searching Yale.
“Don’t worry, if you really know nothing I promise to treat you well. Although I can’t ensure to you that you will be capable of thinking by yourself at that time, probably you will be alive
