I'll Surpass The MC - Chapter 496

Chapter 496 It’s Time to Be Proactive

"Hmm...things are changing." A Mystic Eater observed Varahan Mansion from a vantage point and slithered away to rejoin Orakha who muttered after comprehending the information it had collected, "Yarsha Zahara is pregnant. And in her possession is a pile of Sumatra Gold."

The first time he saw the Sumatra Gold was in Inala's possession. His Mystic Eaters were able to feel the terrifying level of power that stemmed from the Sumatra Gold. After that, he had been searching for them everywhere, failing to find them.

Ever since his failure in the fight against Virala, Orakha had been working on his cunning. He figured that Varahan Mansion would be at the centre of the numerous changes that would wash over the Brimgan Empire in the upcoming months.

Hence, he had been camping at a safe spot to spy on the place. He was obviously there to observe the scene where the Boar King surfaced for the final time. He had even sneaked a Mystic Eater closer just to listen in on their conversation.

Mystic Eaters were just energy bodies. So, if they ever felt threatened, they could simply dissipate. That was the easiest way to get rid of all evidence, which was the basis of Orakha's confidence to spy on Yarsha Zahara.

After the merry-making session, the Boar King returned to the hole he had come out from. Orakha sensed the rapidly dissipating presence of the Boar King and had sent a few Mystic Eaters in order to sneak attack the weakened latter and steal his Spirit Container.

Unfortunately, even though the Mystic Eaters had only been a few minutes late in infiltrating the pit, they were unable to find the Boar King there. But as they searched around, they found two things.

First was a tangible needle of Prana acting as an Information Slip. Second was a thin tunnel leading somewhere far away. It didn't take long for Orakha to access the information in the Information Slip. He only had to modify his Human Avatar a bit to attain the desired effect.

Once he did so, he was stunned, "Madman! Fucking madman!"

He became aware of what Virala had done. Originally, he wanted to expose the information and ensure Yarsha Zahara found out about it. This way, she'll summon the Boar King and hunt Virala. But after some thought, he decided otherwise.

Calling back the Boar King would only make things difficult for Virala. There was no benefit in it for Orakha. And worst of all, if the Boar King remains in the Brimgan Empire when the Major Treasure of Attribute reveals itself, he'd end up getting it, no questions about that.

Hence, Orakha began to think differently, 'What would Inala or Virala do in this situation?'

When a Mystic Eater joined him and transmitted all the images that it had observed, Orakha thought in wonder, 'Why is Maroppa heading to the Arlfarah Mansion now? Wasn't she supposed to be sleeping in her house as she's exhausted from work these days?'

'Man, he's a monster!' Maroppa sighed as she held a box tight and watched as her carriage reached Arlfarah Mansion. Once she revealed her identity and stated her purpose for approach, she was given entry.

She was one of the biggest donors to Farloon Brimgan's Auction House. As he had earned significantly through the Spirit Weapons she had auctioned off in his Auction House, he had given her free entry to his mansion. She could come and go as she pleased. He wanted to have a good relationship with her.

"Lady Maroppa, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Farloon Brimgan sported a wide smile, expecting another compound Spirit Weapon from her. The last one had been sold at a price exceeding a mobile Parute Tree.

And once the Raid Teams began to use it and had never stopped boasting about it, the demand for the product only increased. So, Farloon Brimgan wanted more of the same to capitalise on the skyrocketing demand.

"I came to have a chat with Amita. It has been a while." Maroppa smiled.

"Ah, yes, please take a seat at our guest room." Farloon Brimgan instantly masked his disappointment and escorted Maroppa to the guest room, saying apologetically, "She's currently at a meeting and it would take her a couple of hours to arrive."

'I know, that's why I came here at this time.' Maroppa thought as she expressed that she didn't mind waiting, "It's alright. I came here just to relax and have a chat, since it has been a while. Let Dhya accompany me until Amita arrives."

"Give me a minute." Saying so, Farloon Brimgan made his exit. And soon enough, Dhya entered the room and bowed towards Maroppa.

"It has been a while, Lady Maroppa." Dhya was respectful with her greeting.

"It took me a while to figure it all out." Maroppa spoke after she asked Dhya to sit, enveloping the room with her Prana to ensure nothing she says gets leaked out, "You almost fooled me, Deity of the Cooter Clan,"
