THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 229 Where Is My Money?

Arjun looked at the owner of the voice. He was an young man around Arjun's age. He might have shouted at the three delivery boys as if he is a responsible person who cares so much about the Galaxy Pavilion, but Arjun eventually noticed a faint smile on his face.

"It's Moeen!" , Someone from the crowd shouted, " Hahaha! Things are going to get interesting."

"Obviously!" , Another person said, " Afterall Moeen's group were next only to Ben's group. Ben's group never failed in their duties. In fact, the customers always praised with their delivery services. But Moeen's group always ranked second in delivery seriveces in our pavilion. Even though they never failed in their delivery services, they never received the positive critics like Ben's group received. But today Ben's group not only failed to deliver the painting of Princess Shayana, the painting was even lost. Moeen is going to take his revenge now for sure. Afterall he got a golden chance to do it."

The first person said, " That's certainly true. Well, today we are going to see a good show. Let's see how things are going to turn out for Ben's group."

Arjun got the basic idea about the situation. He looked at Ben and other two and was impressed. The reputation they had in the Galaxy Pavilion was really impressive. He then looked towards Moeen who was smiling wickedly. Arjun dont didn't mind though. All he had to do is to save Ben's group. Afterall Arjun promised to protect them if things go wrong.

Ben said, " Moeen! How do you know that we failed in our mission? Could it be that you were following us?"

Moeen said with a sarcastic tone, " Well! We were in the forest to gather some ingredients for our cultivation. At that time we looked how you people were targeted by those bandit group. Hehe! You really messed up this time."

Allen said, " If you saw it, then why didn't you help us?"

Moeen said, " Why should we put our lives on the line for others unnecessarily. Delivering the painting was your mission. You messed it up. It has nothing to do with me."

"You..." , Allen wanted to say something in reply. But he was suppressed by an invisible force. The force was so great for the three delivery boys, they vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Silence!" , A voice came from high up in the building. Then a man with the black beard and mustache came and stood in front of balcony of the building.

"We pay our respects, Fifth Elder!" , Everyone stopped talking and kneeled down to pay their respects.

Arjun didnt even move from his place. Even though this fifth elder was strong, he is not strong enough to do anything to Arjun. Arjun could tell it from the invisible aura of that fifth elder which he used to supress Ben's group.

Fifth elder noticed Arjun who was not paying him any respects. The fifth elder felt disappointed. But Arjun was not from the Galaxy Pavilion. So the fifth elder didn't bother too much about it. But he was an elder of the number pavilion in the City. No matter what kind of background the other party has, he should pay his respect. So the fifth elder had the negative impression on Arjun.

The Fifth Elder said, " Ben! Your team has always been very good at delivery services. You had no negative critics. But you failed very badly this time. Do you have any explanation for this?"

Ben replied, " Fifth elder! We were doing our job perfectly. But those bandits came out of nowhere and attacked us. We even gave off our personal belongings in order to save the painting of Princess Shayana. But those bas*ards ruined it completely."

The Fifth Elder said, " Do you know how our client has shouted at us for your carelessness. Our Pavilion Lord along with vice Pacilion Lord and the four elders has personally gone to negotiate with the clients. There is an arrest warrant on you three. Pavilion Lord has asked me to execute you three for your crime. Prepare yourselves."

Craig said, " No. Fifth elder! Please! We didn't do it intentionally. We were ambushed by the bandits. We had good reputation for ourselves. We don't have any reason to betray the pavilion. Please Fifth Elder. We beg you to reconsider your decision."

Allen said, " That's right fifth elder. We would have lost our lives if it wasn't for the big brother here who saved our lives. If big brother didn't save us, we wouldn't have come here to report the matter to pavilion."

At that time Moeen who was enjoying said in order to add spice in the curry, " Fifth elder! That person indeed saved Ben's and his team's lives. But that was just an act. He is the true mastermind behind all this. I have seen him having a good conversation with those bandits group before they attacked Ben's group. Please punish him for damaging our pavilion's reputation."

Arjun looked at Moeen who was laughing at him as if he is looking at a deadman. Moeen thought,

[Hehehe! You saved the lives of those bas*ards]

[They are someone whom I hate from deep down of my bones]

[Since you saved them, share the same fate as them]

[Just go and die.]

Ben shouted, " Moeen! Don't accuse anyone blindly. How could big brother who saved our lives would be a mastermind behind this. You are going way too far with your accusations."

"I'm going way too far?" , Moeen smiled and said in a sarcastic tone, " I saw him discussing with those bandits with my own eyes. Are you saying that I'm blind. Of course! He killed those bandits. But if you look at the bigger picture where a person has a chance to loot the number one pavilion of the Windspread City instead of a group with low income, which one would you choose? It is obvious that you will choose Galaxy Pavilion. That person whom you claim to be your saviour tried to get inside the pavilion and would rob when the opportunity comes. I'm just trying to save our pavilion from a huge disaster."

"You..." , Ben wanted to say something in Arjun's defence.

But the fifth elder shouted, " Silence!"

Then the fifth elder looked towards Arjun and said, " You are being accused for being the mastermind behind the whole incident. Is there anything for you to say in your defence?"

The fifth elder smiled sinisterly. He thought,

[Boy! You were trying to act cool by not paying your respect for an elder of the biggest pavilion in the city]

[Now I got the opportunity to get back on you]

[I'll not miss this chance in any way]

[It looks like I have to give a gift to Moeen for providing this wonderful opportunity]

[I'll grab this chance with both hands]

Arjun wasn't an idiot. He is an emperor for himself. Even though it was just for a short time, it was enough to understand what kind of behaviour a person with high status maintens. The fifth elder was no exception. Arjun smiled when he looked at the fifth elder. He decided to give a huge blow to both fifth elder and Moeen.

Arjun who was silent all the time said, " I have only one thing to ask Mr. Moeen. Where is my money?"
