After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1711

Chapter 1711: Where is the Flaret Token? (Part 1)

Rowan, while avoiding fights, led them to a dead end. It was quiet and didn’t seem like they were heading anywhere, so everyone was immediately suspicious.

Gingo was ready to attack him, guardedly looking around. Surely this guy wasn’t so stupid, considering how outnumbered he was?

Rowan then pointed at the side to see a wooden wall. He made a slight push and realized it could open.

At this, they recognized that this guy had indeed helped them out, and some guards were lowered.

"They created tunnels to it; this is one entrance," he said, looking seriously at Hesso.

"Now tell me where my grandmother is," he asked. His body language showed that he would block the entrance until he told them.

He even showed off his flames, which were impressive, except he was against several of them, too.

Gingo was ready for a fight while Hesso gritted his teeth. "We don’t have time for this!"

"Just tell me, or I will fight tooth and nail with you, even if I lose."

Rowan didn’t seem like he was joking. "Che! The last time I heard she’s in the slums! I never bothered her again after that," he said, before pointing at him. "But...if this is a trap, then you can assume she’s already dead!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Rowan’s shoulders slumped, and they watched the flames on his hand disappear, only to reappear under his feet.

Whoosh!

It boosted him a few floors upwards. "It’s up to you if you believe it," he said. "I’m going home."

He stepped on the roof, and then gave Hesso a look. For some reason, it gave the latter a bad feeling. "I was also told I am the son of the previous Lord. I suppose it’s time to reveal it."

"You—"

Hesso screamed and wanted to go after him by instinct, but was stopped by the others.

"Didn’t you say it yourself?" Gingo asked. "We don’t have time."

How could it be easy, though? He had always disliked that bastard, and it looked like it was instinctive!

He recalled how some elders had mentioned how Rowan looked a lot like his father, the previous Lord!

Gingo was similarly bothered, but what could that do? Further, Rowan was an elementalist, but he was no powerhouse at Town level. He didn’t even have connections in the Town. With enough leverage, he wouldn’t even be a threat.

"Besides, regardless of whether what he said is true or not, if you get the drugs, how could an illegitimate child be a problem?

...

Meanwhile, outside of Felipe’s home, a team of spies had been assigned. They had been watching it and knew that Felipe had been hiding a wife.

Upon investigation, it seemed like the drugs were taken directly to Peaco and the rest by Felipe, but when people followed him, he didn’t go anywhere else but home.

Unexpectedly, they would see the aforementioned Lords without proper guards.
