Arthur went back to the fighting ring that night to liberate the men and women that were force to fight in death matchs. He earned a lot of karma by doing so.
He also raided the fighting ring which earned him a lot of money. The money he earned from the place and Irvin made a total of 213 gold coins that he earned that night.
The following day, he began investigating the R brothers and Irvin's other accomplices. From the R brothers, he learned about Jake's involvement in his attempted murder and Jake's support of the crime ring in the city.
Getting to Jake was easier than he expected. All he had to do was lure Jake over with an invitation to a brothel from the R Brothers.
The man only had the cultivation of the ninth transformation of the first mortal coil despite his advanced age and wealthy family. So it was easy to subdue and kill Jake.
Of course, he had to torture Jake first. He wanted to earn as much money from Jake as possible, but Jake wanted to be stubborn.
Jake didn't believe that anyone could hurt him in the city. So despite Arthur's clear description of what he was going to do to Jake, Jake refused to crack.
He needed to start cutting before Jake cracked. When the playboy cracked, he spilled all of his secrets like a waterfall.
Arthur got a lot of money from him, but it wasn't nearly as much as he got from Raven because most of Jake's money is in the Dyson family. There was no way he was going to walk into the Dyson family to steal, so he had to give up on most of Jake's stash.
He bound Jake and took him into the green forest. Then he cut him in many places to make him left.
He left Jake on the ground while he climbed a tree to watch. It took a while of waiting but what he was hoping to see finally happened.
He watched Jake experience what he had experienced. This finally quenched his thirst for revenge.
He had killed everyone involved in his attempted murder. Only the Black Mantis was left alone because of their powerful boss. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
After doing this, he returned to his house and resumed his normal schedule. He went out early in the morning to distribute bread. Next, he taught in his dojo.
After that, he exercised or went to hunt. He also squeezed time for his winemaking into his schedule too.
Hunting was taking up a lot of his time, but he didn't forget about winemaking because he wanted to take advantage of the increase in the value of his wine.
He was busy throughout the day. It was just like before he was almost killed. The only difference is that there was no Ruff to help him.
There was no one to lick his face when he woke up early in the morning. There was no one to guard the house when he leaved it and there was no one to wag his tail and greet him at the door when he returns from his outing.
He really missed Ruff. It was not only an emotional loss. Ruff was really useful to him.
For example, Ruff is an integral part of his safety at home and during his hunting.
Without Ruff, he can't be sure about people breaking into his house when he sleeps, and he can't be sure that he won't be ambushed in the forest during his hunts.
He thought to himself in pity, "If Ruff hadn't been there for me, I would have been ambushed by that python."
He misses Ruff so much that he has begun to consider getting another pet. But he hasn't decided on what to get next.
He scoffed and said, "Certainly not a cat. Those are not good for anything."
While he was tackling the great task of which animal to use to replace Ruff, some people in the Dyson family had noticed the disappearance of Jake VI Dyson and were investigating his death.
Unlike the Scarred Raven, Jake belongs to a powerful family that has the capacity to track the life conditions and whereabouts of their descendants.
Of course, this is limited to the true children of the family. The life and death of bastards is something that the family is not concerned about very much.
The death of Jake was noticed as soon as it occurred. The life stone containing part of his blood stopped glowing and went dark permanently. This was a sign of his death.
So investigators were sent out to determine how he had died. This was occurring while Arthur went on with his life.
Arthur had just finished his morning lecture at his dojo. So he returned home to prepare to hunt. Then he went out to hunt.
The two investigators also headed for Death's Door. They didn't go anywhere else to search for Jake's body or his killer. They went to Death's Door immediately after they left the compound of the Dyson family.
They didn't go there by chance. They went there because that was the place he died, and it was the place that holds the only clue they have about Jake's death.
When they reached Death's Door, the two of them dropped down from the carriage. The dog they had with them akso stepped down. The party of three then entered the green forest to begin their investigation.
They didn't draw attention to themselves because they were not descendants of the Dyson family. The two of them are not related in any way.
These two investigators are guards of the family. They are both at the ninth transformation, so their position in the family is pretty high.
The family has guards and guest elders at the second mortal coil, but those people rarely act and seldom leave the family. They also don't do low-level jobs such as investigating the death of a child of the family.
