Chapter 637 The Midnight Disappearances
?Planet Nihari-- Northern Region-- Inside the palace of the leader of the Azil tribe
*Boom*
"What do you mean you haven't found my great-grandson yet?" A Nihari Giant stood up and shouted so loudly that the ears of all the servants in the palace bleed
Although that giant did not have anything special on him, he was a giant of the same race as the Nihari giants, the same height as the rest, perhaps the only thing that distinguished him was his large, untrimmed beard, and his body was full of muscles even for a giant. He also did not wear any clothes that suggested luxury, but rather his upper half was completely naked, and there was no noble aura around him, on the contrary, he emitted a strong thirst for blood. However, he was definitely not an ordinary person. Anyone who saw him would automatically feel the need to kneel.
If Richard had been here, he would have recognized him immediately. He was the leader of the Al-Azil tribe. The person who ordered the killing of his mother... The chief of the Azil tripe, Dawoodar.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty, The search is still ongoing and we may find him at any time." Another giant who was kneeling in front of him responded, that giant's aura said that he had reached the maximum potential of the third stage of the Body Strengthening Divine Tattoo to the point that he was no longer absorbing energy to strengthen himself, meaning that he was at the top of the Dragon Realm.
"The search has been going on for ten days!! My great-grandson Shamson is the loudest person in the city. How is it possible that you haven't found him yet, you scum?!" The leader of the Azil tribe came forward and kicked the person kneeling in front of him *PAAM* The kick didn't immediately kill him but sent him smashing several walls
"Father, our search for him was illogical from the beginning. Shamson is a high leveled Dragon. Who could harm him without him making a sound? In fact, everyone knows who he is. Who would even dare to harm him inside the city? In my opinion, Shamson encountered a very powerful figure and was probably killed. Either that or he ran away to spend a few nights with a few girls somewhere and does not want anyone to know his whereabouts, and in both cases searching for him will be of no use." Another giant sitting nearby spoke. That giant seemed calmer but his aura wasn't much weaker than his father's. It was clear that he was an Emperor as well.
"Shamson doesn't need to hide with some women, he can get any woman he wants from the street! And who in the entire northern region would dare touch a man of my lineage, let alone Shamson!? .. Could they be the scoundrels of the Bazuna tribe? Years have passed since they accuse us of killing a number of their close men and hiding their bodies, they even cut off their relations with us in several ways. Do you think they wanted revenge for this? Damn, who do they think I am?! If this is true, I will burn the entire northern region over their heads!" The tribe leader, Dawdar, kicked his throne and smashed the wall. It was clear that he was almost mad. Shamson is less than two hundred years old and has a great talent that qualifies him to receive a fourth stage of the Body Strengthening Divine Tattoo. Then he turned back to look at the leader of the investigation team, "And you... if you don't find Shamson, I will start my massacre by killing you all, you and all your families!!"
"If I may... Your Majesty... I think I know what happened to him, but..." The giant at the top of the Dragon?Realm that had been kicked a moment ago returned to his knees again with a face covered in blood and began to look at the son as if he was pleading.
"Speak up, no one will hurt you." The son of the chief of the Azil tribe, Salidar spoke up giving him protection in a cold tone
"...There are rumors circulating that Mr. Shamson has become..." The head of the investigation team paused for several seconds to gather his courage, "..Has become one of the Midnight Disappearances!"
"Midnight Disappearances? What is this..?" Prince Salidar furrowed his eyebrows, the tribe leader stopped his agitation and looked interested as well
"This phenomenon began in the city many years ago. Every day after midnight, a few people disappear without a trace. This phenomenon has been repeated so often that the people of the city began to enter their homes and lock themselves in at the moment of sunset, nightlife almost ceased because of this. But this did not stop the disappearances. Every day we find entire families who have disappeared from inside their homes. We do not know the actual number of those who have disappeared in this way, but the initial estimate says that it is more than a hundred thousand, including quite a few Shamans and Dragons..." the head of the investigation team explained with drops of sweat dripping from his forehead.
"You let criminals kidnap a hundred thousand residents of the great city of Azil over many years and did nothing?" Even Salidar, who always looked like a piece of ice, felt his blood boil
"The investigation has been ongoing for years, but we have not reached any results. For example, there are people who heard screams from the places of disappearances, and we found traces of fighting in them, but those traces do not lead anywhere else. We tried to ambush the perpetrators of these disappearances, but they did not fall into any trap, no matter how elaborate it was, it is as if they hear and see everything we do. We even asked for the help of army squads to secure the streets, but they all died in mysterious circumstances as well! ...Everyone says that whoever does this is an angry spirit."
*Step* *Step* The tribe leader stepped forward slowly, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing, then bent down to grab the investigation team leader's neck, "Are you telling me... that an angry spirit... has kidnapped my great-grandson?"
"Ugh.. arghgh!!!" The investigation team leader grabbed the tribe leader's hand to try to relieve the pressure on his neck a little, but he failed. He felt like his head was about to explode, and his eyes actually began to bulge out!
"Although I do not believe this explanation of the angry spirit thing, we must count Shamson among this midnight disappearances for now," Salidar spoke calmly as if he did not see what was happening to the person who had given him protection a short while ago
*Bam*
After blowing off the neck of the head of the investigation team, Chief Dawoodar returned to looking at his son while soaking in blood, "You are the head of the investigation team now. Someone who has touched someone of our lineage, Salidar, ... Bring me their head bring me his head even if you had to burn the city on the heads of its residents!"
"Consider it done."

Planet Jura-- Central Continent-- Throne Hall of the Imperial Palace
*Shaaaaaaaaaa*
*Boom*
Flora fired an arrow of red flame, piercing a wooden doll. The doll turned into charcoal in the blink of an eye
"Amazing... Amazing... Yes, keep this pace, small, quick attacks using the fourth stage of the major Heavenly Law of Fire, and try to change the limp from which you launch your attack each time." Robin clapped and took another look around Flora, his golden eyes roaming over her body
*Shwaaaaaaa* *Boom!*
Flora fired another fiery arrow with her left hand, then another with her horn, then another and another~ but she seemed disturbed by something and couldn't bear it any longer, "For heaven's sake, would you please stop observing my body like an expert pervert and just observe the arrows for once? Isn't the fourth stage of laws what you want!"
"Hmm? Haha, is this still bothering you again? It's been two years already and you haven't gotten used to it yet?" Robin laughed loudly, but he did not stop or even lift his eyes, which were still roaming over Flora's body
