254 MADAME DENMA
Lance Said, " That's right! I didn't have the money with me. 5 Billion Gold Coins? Did they think I am some kind of Money Bag? But that sword was very important to me. So I had to accept the deal at least at that moment."
Lance continued, " In order to get that sword I made a plan. I told them to send the sword by sealing it in my sister's painting. I also asked them to send the painting with their delivery boys. Because I don't want any unwanted trouble. If anyone learns that an elder or the Pavilion Lord himself is delivering the sword to me, it might raise some unwanted troubles. After all, The Galaxy Pavilion was the number one pavilion in the entire city. All eyes would be on them."
Lance continued, " They agreed to my conditions. And that's the biggest mistake they made. Because I already disguised my men as bandits and made them attack those delivery boys and destroy the painting. I told them that as soon as the painting gets destroyed, a sword will appear. I asked them to bring that sword to me."
Lance sighed and said, " But some powerful person killed my people and escaped with the sword. I learned that they were going to open a new pavilion. I waited patiently for them to complete the construction of the pavilion and start their recruit programme. But even after two years of their pavilion's construction, they didn't announce any recruitment programme. I already lost my patient."
Lance continued, " Today I decided to pay a visit to that new pavilion and kill all of them. Then I planned to bring the sword back. But you popped out of nowhere and delayed my scheduled plans."
Lance said with a sinful smile, " My Zombies will keep you waiting while I will go and bring the sword. I didn't have the time to play with you. So good bye!"
"Hey! Wait a minute!" , Arjun shouted. But Lance already moved out of the stone door. He shut down all the exits. Only Arjun and zombies were present in the closed room at the moment.
Arjun looked at the zombies who were nearing him slowly. He was pissed. This was not the outcome he had expected here. And most importantly, Ben and others were in danger. He decided to clear the mess here and go back to save Ben and others as soon as possible. He looked at the zombies and decided to go all out.
----------
Ben and others reached the pavilion on the same day. As soon as they reached the pavilion, they decided to train in the supporting occupations as Arjun instructed them. Trackers team were busy patrolling the pavilion. They already scanned the entire area and the map was imprinted in their Divine Core. That means they can see what was happening throughout the place they have scanned so far. They were patrolling the entire area to see if there are any possible intrusion.
Ben ordered them to do it. Because he don't want to take any chances. As an acting Pavilion Lord, it was important for him to be cautious every time. So he ordered the trackers team to keep an eye on the surrounding.
The first day passed peacefully. There was no trace of problems at all. But on the second day one of the tracker came to Ben and said, " Ben! There is an unwanted guest."
Ben was stunned. He asked, " Who?"
That tracker said, " Galaxy Pavilion's fourth elder, Madam denma!"
Ben was shocked. He asked, " Why is she here?"
That tracker said, " I don't know. But I am sure that she came with some bad intentions. Galaxy Pavilion sending their people right the next day big brother absence... I think you know what I mean to say?"
Ben thought for a moment and said, " Summon all the healers and fighters. Ask the healers to hide and cure our people if any battle breaks out. This is our home now. I don't want any outsider to cause any trouble here. Or else, we won't be able to face the Big Brother when he returns."
"Yes." , that tracker replied and left immediately to fulfill what he was asked. Ben immediately walked out the building and found a middle aged woman standing near the entrance.
Ben asked, " May I know what brought you here, Madame Denma?"
Madame Denma looked at Ben and smiled. She said, " You have grown up Ben! May I come in?"
Ben went silent. After a moment of silence he said, " Please come in."
Madame Denma walked in and sat on the sofa. She looked at the small building and said, " Are you sure you people are living happily here? This place ended immediately as it started. Don't you miss our Pavilion?"
Ben said, " This is our pavilion Madame Denma. We are not going to move anywhere. And we don't have the time to chit chat. So please come to the point."
Madame Denma wasn't angry at all. She said with a smile, " I want to meet your Pavilion Lord. Please call him."
At this time the news of Madame Denma's arrival has reached the ears of all the members of the Star Moon Pavilion. Some of the has come to see the things that are going to take place. They were anxious as Madame Denma was the fourth elder of the Galaxy Pavilion. The worriers got their orders and were hiding. They were waiting to attack Madame Denma, if the battle really breaks out.
As for the healers, they hid themselves even further away from those worriers. Their role was to heal the injured people. So they hid themselves and were mentally preparing themselves for battle.
Ben replied, " Pavilion Lord has gone out. He will return after two weeks. So please return immediately Madame Denma. Your Pavilion needs your help."
"The pavilion has many elders to take care of." , Madame Denma said, " It can function even without my presence. So don't worry about it too much."
Ben said, " Pavilion Lord is not here at the moment. I will write a letter to you when he returns. You are the first customer who came here after we opened the Pavilion. So I will contact you immediately after the Pavilion Lord returns. Now please leave Madame Denma."
Madame Denma was furious this time. She said with a serious tone, " How can I go? You messed up the job. You people wrecked my pavilion in our absence. Who is going to take the responsibility? I am here to take all of you into custody for damaging the reputation of our pavilion. So all of you get ready."
Ben took a deep breath and said, " So it's not going to end in a peaceful manner right? Fine. Guys! Get ready. Today we are going to have our first battle."
Madame Denma smiled and said, " You think you can defeat me? Fine let's see what you peace of trash can do?"
