Chapter 134 - A Tail
Dror didn\'t reveal anything and went on with his things , he took a room in one of the best hotels and stayed there, while letting Nympho secretly observe the spy who was following him.
Nympho reported to Dror that the person was a class 3 official of the alliance government as he waved his badge to collect information on every one staying in the hotel.
After collecting the details of the person whom he had been suspicious about, detective Harman started looking into details regarding the person.
Harman easily figured out the identity of the person that he was following, after some digging he remarked in his mind " so this, Mr. Jackson was present in Tarnish and just left the city before the incident took place at the brothel and warehouse…
hmm, that seems to be a little suspicious but not anything concrete.
But this appearance doesn\'t match the person we are looking for, if this is a disguise the person is really a master at the art of disguise..
I will keep an eye on this guy for some time "
while detective Harman was making his plan, Dror was also making his own plan.
" Nympho, how strong is that guy, what are our chances of taking him down without killing him.."
Nympho didn\'t instantly reply but pondered a little before replaying
"Hmm..the person is only at 5th level of the true warrior realm, much weaker than you, but for some reason I think he won\'t be an easy opponent, at least capturing him alive would be difficult.
And neither can we delay this matter as if he gets more suspicious and summons reinforcement we are going to be in trouble.
If what you said about the Lomba family mobilizing lots of experts is true then we can\'t wait long since this guy is already suspicious and had come to deliver himself to us.
I would say we make the move tonight or early morning tomorrow , even if it is to attack or to retreat …"
Dror was of the same opinion as Nympho, so he started arranging for different things, having a companion who could teleport was really handy.
While Dror played the decoy and rested in the room Nympho was roaming around doing different tasks.
Early morning Dror left the hotel, and headed for certain parts where small business related to monster leather and carcasses were prevalent , after bargaining and striking some deals , He inquired about the places where he could find hunters directly.
Then he went out of the town renting a hover vehicle to the main hunting grounds nearby, but as he moved to the forested area his path started slightly deviating and he traveled further into the forested area after leaving the hover vehicle behind.
Detective Harman has been following Dror all the way to the forest, he grew more suspicious as Dror diverted little from his initial path, still he kept on following the other person.
Detective Harman had a keen sense of smell so it didn\'t matter what kind of jungle his target entered , he could still easily find the trail and keep on following.
But after moving a little distance into the forest he halted and didn\'t move forward, even though he saw the silhouette he was following was going to disappear from his view.
Harman\'s nose slightly twitched as he took a few step back and pressed his sky watch, he knew it was time for him to ask for reinforcement, He himself was not that good at fighting, his forte was in investigation and tracking, he was not fool enough to engage an enemy of unknown strength and origin.
But he was surprised to find that the signals from his skywatch were blocked.He had a slight smile on his face as he spoke loudly.
"Is this the place that you have set up to ambush me… I should say I am impressed, I didn\'t even sense that you have planted sky watch jammers around.."
There was no replay.
But Dror who was a little far away hiding using the one with the earth technique had a troubled expression on his face.
"Nympho how did he figure it out, you didn\'t mess up did you.."
Nympho replied with a snort " hmm.. who do you think I am, I would never mess up a small trap like this… I already told you that person is not simple and he has some special method… My guess is, he is either an anthropomorph with higher sense or he cultivates some special technique that heightens his senses to an entirely different level.."
Maya interrupted " I think he is an anthropomorph , even with a very heightened sense it is very difficult for someone to detect my ghost paralyzing powder, that has not yet been activated…"
Dror felt frustrated at the fact that all his effort to set up such a trap, by sending Nympho here earlier and arranging everything has gone to waste.
Even Though it was not a complete waste, as he managed to block the sky watch signal, what he really felt regret about was the amount of crystals that he had to pay to Nympho as her fees for overworking.
He thought " Guess I will have to use the old ways,I hope this guy is rich at least.."
Dror appeared before Harman in no time.
" So you must be Dror the barbarian that the Lomba family is hunting.."
Dror was still in Mr. Jackson\'s appearance.
" What makes you so sure, I could have set this ambush because you have been following me for some time with malicious intentions.."
Harman had a smile that was not a smile " This is true your appearance doesn\'t match the criminals... I am really sorry for doubting you… I am an enforcer detective... to avert any further misunderstanding please cooperate with me and come with me to the enforcers office in the town to prove your identity.."
And he waved his badge before Dror.
Dror was speechless, he didn\'t know how to replay, but he could clearly hear Nympho laughing in his head.
"Is this guy trying to reason and outwit me or something, isn\'t he supposed to be a spy or assassin, who starts fighting first and asks questions later… That is how the people from the Lomba family should behave.."
But Dror kept all his feelings inside him and said " I don\'t trust you.."
Harman replied casually " it\'s ok , you yourself can send a message to the enforcers team and we can both wait here for them to arrive…"
Dror could only curse in his head " what the fu..k, I am supposed to be the intelligent one here, do I have to act like a barbarian and attack without reasoning.."
he maintained he calm and spoke again " I have heard an intelligent philosopher\'s saying \' Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties \'
Even though my ambush has failed, I believe you are in a more difficult situation.."
Dror made his move without hesitation, A stone hand punch was sent straight for Harman\'s head.
Harman was not slow either; he had summoned a big modern advanced shield from who knows where.
Bang..
The shield blocked the punch as Harman directed the force and the attacker to his left side and with a wave of his right hand he took out a ruger wrangler revolver with small formation embedded on it from his waist belt while pushing back his trench coat.
Dror saw the formation on the revolver glowing golden as a bullet was fired at a speed that was close to the sound, with a sonic boom.
boom..
Dror didn\'t hesitate to summon his own golden brown shield which has not yet been completely repaired.
He was sent rolling back while holding onto the shield , breaking down the tree behind him.
He could only curse while standing up " That revolver is a magical artifact… this guy doesn\'t joke around.."
Harman was already pointing the gun at Dror again, but Dror could see that the revolver was also draining Harman\'s warrior essence.
Dror knew he was not good at this kind of fight, he instantly used the sand storm technique, for cover.
Sand tornado formed around within a second, hampering detective Harman\'s sight.
But Harman had a wide smile on his face.
" haha… I was still a little doubtful about your identity… but now I am sure…"
Dror instantly understood that using the technique has given away his identity, but it didn\'t matter any more as he was already determined to go all in.
" Maya , Nympho."
chains appeared out of thin air and ground and wrapped around his hands and legs to tie him down, while the Evil sword teleported right before him to land a vicious stab towards the chest.
A cruel glint passed through Detective Harman\'s eyes as he fired the revolver again, but this time at his own biceps.
Well the bullet was not fired exactly at himself but at Maya who was wounding around his biceps.
The force of the bullet was fierce and Maya got seriously injured and retreated while Harman himself was also injured, his left hand was bleeding.
The force of the bullet was so high, that it twisted Harman\'s left side along with his hand, resulting in Nympho missing the stab and Harman rolling back deeply hurt after Maya retreating.
