THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 305 The Surprising Guests

Next day Arjun casually sat on a sofa. He was enjoying the tea for mental relaxation. At that time his senses told him that a girl was standing near the door outside his room. That girl was hesitating to knock the door to Arjun's room.

It was Ringo!

Arjun sighed and said, " How long are you going to stand out there? Just come in."

Ringo startled for a moment. But she dared and entered the room. After entering the room she just stood there by lowering her head. There was tense and very complex expression on her face. She stood there silently without uttering a word.

Arjun took another sip of his tea and said, " Sit."

Ringo sat down after a moment of hesitation. She just lowered her head down. She didn't know how to start the conversation.

Arjun put down the tea cup on the table. He then said gently, " I heard what happened from grandfather. I am sorry for your loss."

"It's alright!" , Ringo said, " I have been living without parents since my childhood. There death really a blow for me. But I can still handle it. I mean I got used to it."

"That's good to hear." , Arjun said, " So why are you in my room?"

Ringo went silent once again. Because of her stupidity, both Aeron and Kiera died. Even though she was feeling guilty, she knew that neither Kiera nor Aeron were going to come back from death. She wanted to ask Arjun to forget everything and let things go as it was in the past. But the one who died is actually Aeron. And she is well aware of what kind of relations.h.i.+p both Arjun and Aeron has. So she was hesitating.

After gathering some courage she said, " About big brother Aeron...."

"Forgot it!" , Arjun said, " I can understand that you have been manipulated by the a.s.sa.s.sins Organisation. They manipulated you to get me. And I learned from big sis that when your friends were beating big brother while kidnapping him, you stopped them and took big brother with respect. I know that you have no ill intentions towards any of them back then. So I forgot the grudge between us a long time ago."

Ringo's eyes brightened immediately. She had a hope that the things are going in the right direction.

But Arjun said, " Don't raise your hopes. Love and power are two different things for me. I only love those people who trusts me. You never trusted me. What you had towards me was nothing but attraction. Even though that video recordings was looking genuine, you should have some faith in me. If you didn't have trust and faith in me, I never consider that you have ever loved me."

Ringo's bright eyes immediately dimmed down. She knew what Arjun is trying to say.

Arjun continued, " The things between us is no longer what you think anymore. We will be friends. But love..., not anymore."

Ringo sighed in disappointment. She knew that things are not going to be as she dreamed it would be.

Arjun continued to drink his tea without bothering about Ringo's feelings anymore.

At that time Alwyn came in hurriedly. He came in and said, " Boss! We got a terrible news."

"What is it?" , Arjun asked while sipping his tea.

Alwyn said, " The Scrooge Empire has joined forces with the Loren Empire and is attacking our empire."

Arjun didn't stop his tea. After taking another sip he asked, " Where is Rick?"

"I don't know." , Alwyn replied after shaking his head, " I looked for him everywhere. But he is nowhere to be found."

"Relax." , Arjun said, " I sent him on a secret mission. He will be back very soon."

Gnan entered and asked, " Why didn't you tell me about you sending Rick on a secret mission?"

Arjun replied, " If I told you, how would you stay a secret anymore?"

"You d.a.m.n kid. Acting like a cool person." , Gnan was furious.

Arjun smiled in response.

Sitaram asked, " Where did you send him?"

"Relax Grandfather!" , Arjun replied, " Wherever I sent Rick, it was for an important job. He will be back very soon. And he is going to bring some important guests with him."

"Important guests?" , Sitaram surprised and asked, " Who are these important guests?"

Before Arjun could reply, the door to the room opened once again and some couple of people entered. Sitaram and others were stunned to see the people who entered."

"Why did you people come back?" , Sitaram asked in shock.

The people who entered the room were Gutherson and John's people. All the main people who went to the war came back.

Gutherson was startled for a moment. He pointed his finger towards Arjun and said, " It was Young Master who called us last night. He asked us to come back. As it was the orders from the emperor himself, I thought it's better for us to follow the orders."

"Why did you call them back?" , Sitaram asked in serious tone.

Before Arjun could reply, the door to the room opened once again. This time it was Rick who entered the room.

Arjun smiled and asked, " How is it? Did your mission go well?"

"It was an easy one." , Rick replied, " There was no problem. I completed the mission successfully."

"Great!" , Arjun smiled and asked, " Where are our guests?"

"They are waiting outside." Rick replied.

"Call them in." , Arjun smiled and said.

Rick left the room. Not long after 10 seconds, he came back with three people. When Sitaram, Gnan and Gutherson looked at the people who came in along with Rick, they were stunned.

"Emperor Scrooge?" , Sitaram asked in shock and confusion, " If you are here, then who exactly is attacking us?"

"It's not us." Emperor Scrooge sighed and said, " Everything was going right in my empire till last night. And in an instant all my loyal subordinates were killed by a poison. None of them survived. Then some mysterious people in black dress came and started to kill everyone. They were very powerful. None of us were able to kill them."

Emperor Scrooge continued, " When we thought we are going to die, Rick came all of the sudden and saved us. He killed all those men in black clothes and saved us."

Rick said, "There are toi many people in the black dress. I could kill all of them if I wanted to. But saving and bringing Emperor Scrooge was my top priority in this mission. So I didn't attack them. These men in black are all trains in Willpower. But their aura and their Divine Power didn't match. It was clear who those people are."

"These details... You said your mother has same properties." , Sitaram looked at Arjun and said.

"Then it is clear." Gutherson said, " These Men in black clothes are from that d.a.m.n a.s.sa.s.sins Organisation!"
