BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 141: The Town After Me [Pt2]
Nufort Steward rested in his room for a short while before his phone decide to go off very loudly. It was the signal that his phone had tracked down his target.
Young master Steward had been found and it was up to Nufort to brink his young master home. He was a small message of Steward\'s house after all and his young master would be the next family head.
He quickly followed the signal, only to find himself going into the town\'s underground sewerage system. It was smelly and gross, but it was also his only lead so Nufort could not afford to let this escape him.
The sewerage system was dry and had no waste water flowing through it. It looked as if someone had artificially diverted the routes leading to this place.
It was all very interesting, but it was nothing compared to the phone which was going off at an alarming rate. And finally, Nufort managed to reach the end of the tunnel and switched his phone off to vibration mode.
He looked inside the dark room and Nufort saw nothing. But he could feel the presence of another human nearby. It was likely his target - young master Steward.
"-how is the experiment going? Do you think our god can wake up?"
Nufort recognized the dwarf\'s voice. It was difficult to explain why, but a dwarf\'s voice was unique and non-human-like. If you heard it once, you would never be able to mistake it for a human again.
"Relax chief, everything would work out as we intend it works out. I told you before, right? This experiment has a 100% success rate. The only factor that we need to worry about is his time and resources."
Nufort had met young master Steward a few times before and he was confident to say that the voice he was hearing from inside belonged to his young master. The speaker who sounded so confident was his young master.
Naturally, his words surprised Nufort since he had never heard his young master be this confident before but he was somehow not surprised to see his young master being the mastermind.
From the time young master Nufort could participate in experiments, he had been out and about doing weird things. As such, he was an oddball who liked to get himself into trouble.
"Hump, I do not trust humans generally since they are greedy and cruel. But I am willing to trust you this time because you promised to help God. I hope I do not regret my decision."
The dwarf leader promised before he took one last look behind him and then left. His presence could no longer be left by Nufort and he sighed in relief at the happening.
But just as soon as that happened, someone else decided to butt their heads against him as well. Cold eyes looked toward his direction and Nufort was sure he had been seen.
"My dear cousin, what brings you here? Ah, you are the one adopted in the family. The dog\'s father picked up. So, what is it that you want from me?"
The body asked as he opened the door to allow Nufort in. It was humiliating and glorifying to see that Nufort had been recognized. But somehow, it did not feel good for Nufort to be recognized like this.
"Young master, you are being called back by your father. I am sure you are having fun out here but you need to head back now."
Nufort\'s tone left no room for argument. Not even a little wiggle room could be found when he ordered the teenager in front of him to go back home.
But instead of looking worried about leaving his experiment unfinished, young Master Steward just smiled his calm smile.
"Oh, is that so? In that case, let us go home. I do not want to keep Father waiting since he can get grumpy at times."
Nufort was surprised to see his young master agreeing with him so easily. He had been prepared to use all kinds of dirty tactics to make his young master go back but his mind went blank once his young master agreed to easily to his request.
"Just like this? You are agreeing to come back home just like this? What about all your research and experiment data? Do you not need to take care of this before we go?"
Nufort asked as he looked around the lab. His mind was still circling the fact that his young master was involved with something this sketchy. The government would surely like to hide this from the public eye.
But if news of what happened here really did go out, it would be a big blow to the government and they would lose more momentum.
"Hmm, I do not need anything from here and my experiment is done already. It was impossible to bring a dead god back to life. Especially when we had no trace of its power. But I did manage to make an artificial Fenrir beast and-"
The younger master Steward spoke, the bigger headache Nufort seemed to be forming. And he was sure that his young master was not doing all this because he wanted to. It was an unconscious action on his part.
"Hey dog, can you take care of things here? I will go back home now before my father cuts off my funding. I cannot live without my precious research material."
The young master was a spoilt brat and that was something Nufort had forgotten. The young master not only acted rough but was also entitled to get what he wanted.
And Nufort was lucky he knew what the biggest obsession of his young master currently was. He could use it to bind his young master and make him take care of this mess.
"Young master, were you not excited to see the Grandmaster a few months before? You begged your father to arrange a meeting with him but your father fails, right? But what if I told you that the grandmaster is currently here?"
Young Master Steward stopped doing what he was doing in an instant and turned his attention toward Nufort.
There was a sparkle in his eyes that made Nufort take a step back but there was nowhere for him to step back to.
"You are serious? Grandmaster! That aloof and terrifying Grandmaster is here? Right in the town and caught up in this mess? What a blessing this turned out to be. So, tell me how I can meet him and talk to him?"
Young master Steward questioned as he all but pushed himself directly in front of Nufort\'s face. Nufort was uncomfortable but he held his ground. There was no need for him to be worried about his young master losing interest now.
And Nufort had seen how strong and unhinged Grandmaster had been. So, he was sure the Grandmaster would not mind having one more obsessive freak after him now.
"Hmm, this is sure not good for me. Let us see. Do you think the Grandmaster would mind it much if I took care of this problem for him? I promise to be careful to not step on any toes and be careful not to kiss anyone. Do you think he would agree to my experiments if I do all that?"
Nufort was sure that no one would agree to be experimented on, especially by young master Steward, but he kept that truth to himself.
His young master was a pain in the ass but he was also someone who know what they wanted in life.
Besides, those who had a lot of power and money were weird. Nufort could not even begin to understand them so he was hesitant to make any promises.
"Truthfully, I have no idea if you would be able to convince the Grandmaster to hear you out or not, but I can help you meet him. First, we will need to take care of your experiment and then we can head out."
Nufort pointed it all out and it only took young master Steward to pull everything together and pack it all off.
Once that was done, he looked at Nufort with an expectant expression of \' What next.\' But truthfully, Nufort had not planned things that far. He did not even know where the Grandmaster was right now.
Still, he had to find a way to grandmaster before his young master caused any problems.
"Now, we will take care of the problem in this town. We cannot allow the Fenrir beast to roam around freely, nor for this town to be under some dwarf\'s control."
Nufort pointed out and his young master coughed lightly in his hand to hide his discomfort.
"I might be able to help you with both of those problems. You see, I did not create these problems without finding solutions for them first. All we need to do is to stop the broadcasting magic that is being applied over the town. It should be easy enough to do for me."
