Shut up: You, Nymphomaniac Evil Sword

" wait "

"I give up, why don't we talk this out like gentleman "

Nympho and Dror, who were going for another attack, halted and paused.

There was an eerie silence.

Harmen couldn't see clearly and his spiritual sense was also confused in the sand storm, but he had already put both his hands above his head like in a hands up position.

Both Dror and Nympho were gobsmacked at the enemy's sudden surrender.

"Nympho what do you think, Is this guy cooking up some new scheme.."

"I don't know, the guy is merciless to himself, people like that are really dangerous… but I can't detect any lies in what he said, of course he could be a master at pretending , but I think we should give him the chance to talk and  let Maya recover with that time.."

Maya also spoke " I too don't feel any killing intent or malicious intent from him.."

Dror was also of the similar opinion, the person didn't appear like a hidden assassin sent to execute him and their earlier interaction had suggested that this person was a more witty and reasonable type.

But neither was Dror fool enough to trust the guy, Dror even entertained the thought that this guy might be stalling for time and waiting for reinforcement or something.

Dror didn't withdraw his sand storm , but spoke from within.

" what do you want to say… my patience is very thin and it will run out soon, so speak whatever you want to speak quickly.."

Harman showed a little embarrassed expression and asked 

"Ahem… can you at least withdraw this sandstorm a little away from me, it is tiring to maintain the warrior essence around me to stop it from entering my eyes and mouth…"

"you have ten more seconds.."

A cold replay came from the inside of the sand storm.

" ok, ok .. well how should I put it. I am not a member of the Lomba family nor their underlings, I am just an ordinary detective from the city of Tarnish. I am just doing my job of following a criminal ok.

We don't even have any prior enmity, it won't be worthwhile to fight to death like this right…"

Harman paused here.

Dror was pondering as Nympho also confirmed that the other person wasn't lying to best of her knowledge.

" hem … you seem to be an intelligent man, do you think I will let you go after you have seen my methods and know about my whereabouts.."

Harman had a slight smile as he spoke again " we can make a deal, both of us can take an oath by our Dharma to not reveal anything that happened here to a third person and depart on our ways.."

Harman has been a detective for a very long time, he knew very well how corrupted and vicious the government and city administration were.

He had seen the criminals that he had caught with incriminating evidence walk away scot free after being arrested. After a long time he had become a little apathetic to this kind of thing and sometimes he even killed off the criminals himself if the crimes were too vicious, without taking them for a judgement, without leaving any evidence.

Still he was not someone who wasn't inflexible, he did what justice he could on his own and stayed clear of the things that he couldn't effect.

As far as the case regarding Dror was concerned, he knew Dror was not any vicious criminal, neither was the rebels that terrible and vicious organization, But the order came from the top and he had no way to object.

He knew how vicious the Lomba family was and he had no loyalty to them , nor was he attracted by the humongous reward that they offered.

Otherwise with his skills he could have climbed the ladder of promotions a long time ago, for this reason he was also a little indifferent towards his corrupted colleagues. Which had resulted in him being more or less a lone wolf.

All he wanted was a peaceful life with his family and lesser weights hanging on his conscience, for this matter he never even got involved with the rebels or the protests.

If the government was just and impartial this person would have made a great captain for the enforcers.

From what information he had collected about this person called Dror the barbarian, he knew the other guy was not at all simple and neither was he a  loggerhead barbarian.

  Harman knew this was someone that could be reasoned with and his experience so far has also proved it right.

Dror said in an emotionless  voice " So you are not someone who had come to hunt me down due to greed or  a loyal dog of the Lomba family… But that doesn't mean I should not take you down.."

Harman made a little embarrassed face "

Actually I am a part hound, a hound anthropomorph… yes , but not a dog of the Lomba family… of course you are powerful than me and with your powerful artifact you maybe able to take me down … but I won't go down easily either and more than that I have certain information that might be useful to you.."

Dror was surprised by the reveal, and could only think " of course he is a hound, he can detect all the traps that we had laid out and he won't be easy to take down either. 

In the off chance he gets away, he would become a formidable enemy and if he can give me the information I want it will all be good I guess.."

Then Dror spoke in a stern voice " I agree.."

There was no reason for Dror to think that the other guy would go back on his word after taking the oath, as The Dharma of the world existed and anyone who took an oath on their Dharma would face severe consequences once they went back on their oath.

Harman laughed, " that is great…"

The sand storm departed to reveal Dror standing face to face with Harman.

Then they took an oath by their Dharma to not reveal anything that happened between them on this day nor any secrets of each other to a third person.

They also promised to not make any move towards each other directly or indirectly for the next three days.

After taking the oath Dror was the first to ask " how did you figure out it was me.."

Harman had a smile as he touched his nose with his index finger " Your disguise is top class and neither was I sure it was you, but I could smell the the earth warrior essence that you have hidden away … and the Lomba family has dispatched almost all their prominent warriors to the north here, it means they had credible information that you will appear here, but most importantly this was more of a coincidence that you met with me, I don't think anyone else would have suspicion much less recognize you with that disguise of yours.."

Dror gave a sigh " ha , so if I hadn't revealed my sand storm technique you still could not have confirmed…. I was a little hasty maybe, but it doesn't matter … then please  speak about this information that you wanted to reveal…"

Harman scratched the area above his ear slightly with his index finger.

" This, I am not sure if this is true, but this is my conjecture. Let me ask you something.

You were there at the brothel incident in Tarnish city right ? "

Dror noded confirming.

Harmen continued " you were the one who defeated Madam J and contained the poison bag right ?"

Dror could only nod again.

" That means you have a very high grade treasure of earth element , maybe even an earth grade or heaven grade treasure…, I have personally inspected the scene at the brothel and mistakenly took it as a supreme realm warrior was the one who moved against Madam J.

But the Lomba family has their own spy network and could get information from the intelligence department of the alliance government and already knew you were the person who made the move.

I have heard that Mathias from the Lomba family also came to inspect the scene, he is a mid grade Earth elemental body at the supreme warrior realm.

He could easily detect the anomaly and could confirm that you had used some kind of precious treasure to deal with Madam J.

They know much more than me and maybe even recognized what kind of treasure you used.

So they came up with a plan to track you down and take that treasure from you, since they didn't want any competition on the treasure hunt, they came up with a story of you attacking the young master mike Lomba.."

Dror was shocked and thought " this man is really good. He could come up with such a conclusion from the clues, it is good that I didn't go for an all out battle with this guy… but the Lomba family clearly doesn't know what treasure I have…. Else I think even the head of the Lomba family might also be here to hunt me down.."

Dror spoke in a little friendly manner now " Thank you for  the information… I guess that this should be farewell then…"

Dror waved his hand to recall the sand storm , while Harmen held his cowboy hat with his hand and lowered it slightly as a sign of respect.

Both of them walked out of the forested area, and as they were away from the sky watch jammer, Harman took out his sky watch and pressed it.
