Death… And Me Chapter 1051 - You Can't Answer

Chapter 1051 - You Can't Answer

Rean heard Roan's comment through their Soul Connection and nodded. 'Indeed. I also felt their answers to be a bit fishy. I guess I'm starting to get this thing about lies that you have.'

Roan pondered over it a bit before saying, 'The only doubt is what part. Is it something about their Elemental Affinity or their race? In any case, we don't have the time to investigate this as we have already left the city.'

Roan then looked at the siblings and asked, "Now then, how about you tell us who the guys following us are?"

Fatax and Eminia were taken aback to hear that. "Is there someone following us?!"

Roan then pointed behind them. It was very hard for one to see it due to how far and how high it was. However, since Roan knew they were being followed, he eventually saw them. "Take a look there. Can you see that small spot in the distance? It had been following us ever since we left the city. Rean and I don't remember to have caused any troubles, so it must be something related to you."

Fatax shook his head after hearing that, replying, "We know nothing about it."

"Enough." Roan increased the tone of his voice as he could not help but say, "They have been watching the two of you even before we left the city, you know?"

Eminia looked at Roan with surprise as she asked him, "Then...why did you accept our offer?"

"Because it looked interesting," Rean answered. "The ones following you were part of the City Lord's mansion. It's weird that they waited for you to leave the city when they could simply capture you right there in the open."

"In...teresting?" Eminia found it hard to believe. "Are you part of their group?"

"If we were, we wouldn't have told you about the pursuers on our back, you know?" Rean said in response while shrugging his shoulders.

Fatax then gritted his teeth as he told them, "We can pay ten times more. Please, don't let them get close. Make sure we arrive in Giliga."

Roan shook his head after hearing that, telling them, "That will depend on your answer. If you tell us why you're being followed, we can consider leaving you here or continue to bring you with us."

Suddenly, Eminia's expression changed. Her young behavior seemed to transform as if she had become someone many, many times older. After that, she told the two, "At the moment, all I can tell you is that they want me. Or, to be more specific, my blood."

"Ancestor!" Fatax was taken aback by Eminia's move as he exclaimed.

"Ancestor?" Rean and Roan were confused. It didn't matter how they looked at Eminia. She was definitely younger than Fatax, so how could she be an ancestor?

Eminia then raised her hand as she looked at Fatax, telling him. "Enough." She then looked at the twins and asked, "So, how is it?"

Roan didn't like that. "They want your blood, right? Why would they wait until you leave the city? As the City Lord Mansion's members, they could have attacked you straight away."

Eminia shook her head in response. "They couldn't. First of all, no one was supposed to know that I was leaving."

Rean understood something as he said to Roan, "Hey, Roan. It seems like we aren't the only ones using a different appearance. Both of them aren't showing their real faces either."

Roan nodded in response. "I know. They were trying to leave the city unnoticed, but their plan was obviously busted." Roan pondered over it for a bit before continuing, "They're members of the City Lord's mansion, but they couldn't attack you in the city. The first thing that comes to my head is a power struggle."

Eminia didn't confirm it, but the slight change in expression on her face was enough for Roan to know that he got it right. "So, it is a power struggle, huh? Things like the position of City Lord are usually defined by blood more than merit. Could it be something like that?"

Eminia shook her head after hearing that. "It's not wrong to say that it is a power struggle. Anyway, that's enough for now. As Fatax said, we are willing to pay you much more if you can bring us to Giliga City."

Rean then looked at Roan after that, telling him, "There might be some Elemental Transformation Realm enemies back there, you know?"

Eminia shook her head almost immediately, informing the two of them, "That is not possible. I can guarantee that no Elemental Transformation Realm pursuer is coming after us."

Those words were enough for Roan to deduce a few more things. "With you saying that, it means that your pursuers also can't raise too much alarm. Whatever powers are involved with this blood of yours, they can't dispatch high-level pursuers as it would attract the other side's attention. If that happens, it will put the plan in jeopardy. It's kind of funny. One side couldn't send anyone in the Elemental Transformation Realm or above after you because they didn't want to warn the enemy. As for the enemy, they couldn't do it because it would warn your side that they knew you left."

Eminia and Fatax were surprised by Roan's words. He was basically spot on! "That..."

Roan stopped them there. "Alright, we will accept this task."

"What?!" Eminia and Fatax were surprised that Roan accepted it that easily.

Rean, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh after hearing that. "Hahaha! He's just bored. We have to travel nonstop for four months, so he wanted to do something while at it."

Of course, Eminia was more than satisfied with that. "The payment will definitely be given."

Roan then asked something else. "Fatax, or whatever his real name might be, called you ancestor. However, you look way too young to be an ancestor. How come?"

Eminia shook her head as she responded, "I can't talk about that either. I'm sorry."

"Then, what about your cultivation level? Shouldn't an ancestor be much stronger? Both you and Fatax are more or less in the same realm." Fatax was in the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, while Eminia was in the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm.

"That's also not something I can answer," Eminia replied.

Roan nodded. "Last but not least..." Roan smiled as he asked, "You aren't really part of the Graskin Race, right?"

Eminia narrowed her eyes in response. However, before she could answer, Roan stopped her. "Yeah, yeah...you can't answer.. Let's leave it at that for now."
