Heavenly Kingdom: The Kingdom among the clouds

Chapter 182: Bloody Night

[Tekoa Town, Mayor's mansion]

In that same night, Rueben visited the Mayor's estate, as he identified himself to the gate guards, before being allowed to go in and see the slight changes in the area. Due to the commotion that Ester made during the day, there were signs of a battle happening in this area just from the cracks on the floor and some scratches. Through that, it seems like Ester had really done something he himself couldn't even imagine before.

In fact was mo brainer at all, after all they were talking about Ester's wife here, Ziv. Based on how he reacted when he barged into his office and immediately went straight towards this place, it seemed like Ester was pretty desperate. However despite his desperation, he was pretty sure that Ester wouldn't be able to succeed, after all Jabarin and his team were here.

After getting into the mansion and walking along the hallway, Rueben then saw a group of black robed people exiting the Mayor's room, as they nod at the figure inside before earily leaving the site. No matter how much he looks at the black robed figures, his senses are warning him that they are bad news.

However without minding that, Rueben then knocked on the door of the room, before he went inside and surprised that Mayor Zoabi was not present in the room. However Jabarin himself was there, looking out the window while drinking some red wine.

"Rueben? What brings you here?"

"I've heard the news, early this morning, Ester came here right?"

"Ester... ah yes! Are you talking about the former captain of the town's brigade? Yes! He was here... why did you ask?"

"I just checked sir!"

"Checked... he also went to your office I presume?"

"Unfortunately yes"

"Then he must have also learned about his wife through you?"

"Yes... I'm sorry about the blunder"

"Blunder? Don't worry about it, plus it wasn't that much of a blunder, but in fact only a slight annoyance"

Hearing that term from Jabarin in regards to Ester, it seems like Ester had lost miserably to Jabarin himself, which is expected since Jabarin is an expert warrior and has rich experience in combat. In comparison to Ester, he simply doesn't stand a chance agaisnt Jabarin.

"By the way sir! Where's mayor Zoabi? I just want to check on him"

"The mayor? No need to worry, he is safe... apparently he is busy trying to teach his new toy on various skills"

"Toy?"

"Yes... you already know her"

With that Rueben realized that the toy that Jabarin was talking about was none other than Ziv and if what he heard was right, then Mayor Zoabi is teaching her stuff related to his perversion and fetish in a rough way. Once more he felt disgusted at such act, it would have been better if the mayor just killed her instead.

"Are you sure this is the right way? Treating her less than an animal, isn't that too much?"

"Too much? Maybe it is too much, however what can we do? We can't stop him nor deal with him, Mayor Zoabi is a really important person, especially outside, due to that, we can't do anything in regards to his deeds but turn a blind eye"

"Blind eye... wait mayor Zoabi is an important figure? Did I miss something?"

"Right you don't know since you live in the frontier... yes mayor Zoabi is an important figure in this country, in fact he is very close attendant to the king of this country and the person who is second only to the king in terms of military might"
