BXBX NOVEL Chapter 120 Where Is Gray Holton?
"Say what now? There is an enemy now? Where?" I looked around with confusion. My spear appeared in my hands. I needed to defend myself.
"Please disarm yourself. Everyone who is not a part of the Pill Tower is not allowed to hold a weapon." Hulong Kin stopped me.
"Wait a minute. How does that work? You said that there is an enemy. Of course I should defend myself. Why can\'t I hold a weapon?"
"I do not make the rules. Forgive me for doing this, but if you do not disarm yourself, then I will have to confiscate your weapon." he said as he stepped forward.
I frowned, but still put my weapon inside.
"Do not misunderstand even a little. I am only putting the weapon back in because of the respect I have for the Pill Tower. Not because of your intimidation. You are not capable of disarming me." I said.
"Thank you for your consideration." Hulong Kin said as he looked around with furrowed eyebrows.
"What is going around now? There is an enemy inside the Pill tower? How can that be?" I asked.
"There are enemies of the Pill Tower all around the Kingdom. But I am not sure what this is about either. Only someone who could have taken one of the attendants hostage to come to the higher towers would be classified an enemy. The teleportation array means that no one without authorization could come to the higher floors."
"Look for this guy. The elders gave the name of the guy we need to look for!" one of the attendants wearing the robes of the pill tower came running towards us.
"What? The two here are from the sky heavens sect." Hulong Kin said.
"Did you check their identity tokens? We need to be absolutely sure." the latter said.
Hulong Kin turned to us.
"Is it possible for the esteemed guests to show your identity tokens please?" he requested.
"Of course. That is not a problem" Cai Lien nodded as she flashed her identity token. I did the same, and his face relaxed.
"Like I said, these guests are from the Sky Heavens sect and are here to complete a mission. They cannot be the people that the elders are looking for."
"But if you come across this man, then you have to tell someone, alright? You just have to. All I have is a name. Gray Holton." the man said as he walked away.
The blood drained from my face. Gray Holton? That was me. That was the name that I had in my previous life, and that was my username in the system. Whoever was looking for me, knew me because of my system!
That was when something that the system said got into my head.
\'You have been chosen to be one of the few who were sent to another world with a system.\' Those were the words that the system had said.
Now, everything made sense. That was why the system was pushing so hard on this story quest. This Yurian Gale had to be someone related to the system. He could be someone with a system, or he could be someone the system created to be my foe. I favored the former, but neither changed the fact that I was not safe right now.
"At the least, I know where he is right now. I have three months to take care of him." I thought to myself.
"You need to be careful, Liu Feng. If he is someone who can command the entire Pill Tower to go into lockdown just so that you can be trapped, then he is a powerful person." Liu Man advised.
"Yes. And that doesn\'t make sense. If he also got reincarnated to this world with me, then he should have had the same starting point as me. He should have had the same time as me. He couldn\'t have grown this fast." I said.
"That is not necessary. From what I understand, you got reincarnated into this body. Maybe he was lucky, and he reincarnated into the body of a strong person, like a Pill Elder. Or even worse, maybe he reincarnated into the body of a super genius? In that case, you need to deal with him faster." Liu Man said.
"Whatever the case may be, I can\'t move from here anyway. Let us hope that the reveals himself." I said.
I looked at Cai Lien. She was calm at the whole situation. Everyone was, once they knew who the Pill Tower was looking for. Then, she looked at me.
"Wait a minute. I remember you saying a name that was similar to this. The same funny style of naming. You said something about Yu-"
"I said nothing. I said nothing. You must be confused. Now, this Gray Holton or somebody must be really stupid, to come to the lion\'s den. I hope that he will get caught soon, so that we can leave. I have a mission to take care of." I quickly interrupted her.
If anyone here knew that I was looking for Yurian Gale, and that actually got into the radar of Yurian Gale, I was dead meat.
He must have gotten the same notification that I had. And just because of this notification, he closed the top ten floors down. If he knew who I was, then I would be dead before I knew it.
"Alright..." Cai Lien frowned, but her eyes did not leave me. They stayed on me, suspicious as hell. I moved away though. I looked around, trying to gauge the situation.
Hulong Kin had long gone away with all the other Pill Tower people. They were out there looking for Gray Holtoln. Little did they know that no one in this world would use that name. Even I wasn\'t. I was under the name of this body.
"Maybe he isn\'t a genius after all. Why would he think that Gray Holton would be under the name Gray Holton here?" I wondered.
