"Good question!" KoKo Cha responded, "Chieftain Juno is not a simple target. Usually, he always acts quite subservient to me while dealing with our business. But today, I felt something was not right with him. And he even mentioned something about healing his master. I believe his master is the one backing him this time. So, I need your help in case he has other experts backing him."
Then the five had a serious plan for the next few minutes. Soon, they went out to the outskirts of Bourbon Town sneakily and flew away, riding on three giant pythons with wings.
Meanwhile, in a tower somewhere in Bourbon Town, a middle-aged-looking snake man with red hair was sitting on a roundtable along with five other Naginas. Among them were Captain Bali and his four vice-captains, two of whom were beautiful ladies dressed in revealing clothing that accentuated their long body features. Together, they made up a strong opposition to the ruling leader KoKo Cha.
In the midst of a sumptuous meal, they were dining and drinking.
While they were enjoying the meal, the giant door opened and a guard slithered into the hall. He then whispered something in Captain Bali's ears.
"Oh, interesting! Is that all?" Captain Bali asked.
"Yes, milord!" The guard said politely.
"Alright, you can leave!" Captain Bali said while waving at him.
The guard saluted him by touching his forehead and sauntered out of the hall.
Just after the guard left the room, Captain Bali asked, "My good brothers and sisters, I heard Leader KoKo Cha summoned you all about half an hour ago. Is there something going on?" Then he roamed his eyes on them.
The 1st Vice-Captain Bipasha, a voluptuous lady placed the fork on the table and replied in a calm but flirting tone, "Big brother, here we are enjoying your birthday. So what about that bastard summon? But thinking about the urgency, I believe something really big is happening in KoKo Cha's palace."
"It's the same for us brother Bali." Aaron, the fifth Vice-captain added, "And Sister Bipasha is right. That sly bastard is not formally summoning us. I too believe something fishy is going on inside his palace for him to take such measures."
"Exactly! I've just received a piece of breaking news regarding that." Captain Bali responded. Taking hold of the jug, he started chugging the wine. "That hit the spot!" He placed the jug on the table.
"Hmm, something good, right? Hee-hee-hee, now I'm curious," Bipasha said, reaching out for the jug.
Captain Bali responded, "Today, Chieftain Juno came along with two human slaves to do business with KoKo Cha. However, this time Juno demanded something ridiculous from that tight-arse, and their exchange didn't go well."
He further added along with a smirk across his face, "The funny thing is, Chieftain Juno even declared in front of KoKo Cha that he was selling those two slaves to Countess Mera of the Triple Towers Town before leaving the hall. Hahaha," Then he burst into a peal of hearty laughter.
"Hmm, strange!" Aaron, the Fifth Vice-captain said, "Cap, since KoKo went that far for just that deal then I think those two slaves are not just some simple slaves. Am I wrong?"
"Indeed! They are not simple human slaves. The old fool seems to fancy the lady because of her beauty whereas the male slave is someone who belongs to the HRG." Captain Bali responded.
"HRG! You mean the HRG, the sole human terrorist group from the Central Continent?" Victor, the Seventh Vice-Captain also jumped into the conversation as he had been hearing about this group's actions in the Central Continent.
"Right! And it must also be the reason why KoKo Cha is so adamant to sneak out of the town to get them. He just flew out of the town along with his three dogs." Captain Bali said with a serious tone. "Alright, get ready. We're going there. If fate is on my side then I believe this is our time to change the tide."
Like that, the vice-captains started disappearing from inside the dining hall one by one only Aaron and Bipasha remained sitting in their seats.
Feeling Captain Bali's fiery eyes, they said briskly, "Milord! We are all prepared to leave at the moment."
The three continued enjoying the food while waiting for the other three.
After pondering deeply, unable to suppress his curiosity, Aaron, the Fifth Vice-Captain asked, "Lord Bali, there is something I've been meaning to ask."
"What are you waiting for? Just shoot it out!" Captain Bali said while taking a large bite of the fried meat.
"What did Chieftain Juno demand in exchange for the two slaves?" Aaron said.
"The Red Heart Stone!" Lord Bali responded. "He plans to offer it to Medusa in the coming Gorgon Festival. The stone is meant to symbolically convey KoKo Cha's loyalty in the name of Goddess Medusa to the Gorgon Envoy. So, I guess he is still determined to snatch the two slaves from Juno before he reached the Triple Towers Town."
"Oh, now I get it. Hee-hee-hee, that fool is very greedy." Bipasha chuckled trying to please the captain.
Aaron asked again, "Why is he taking the other Vice-captains along with him when he alone can kill Juno? Is it to minimize the risk?"
"Correct! The report also mentioned something about Chieftain Juno's ascetic master. So, he is taking such measures." Captain Bali continued, "Anyway, this is the chance we have been waiting for. If that particular master were an expert then we will observe them from afar and when the time is ripe we will join in the fun. So what do you think about this plan?"
"It's a good plan. I like it," Aaron responded sincerely. Then after wondering for a while, he opined, "Cap, perhaps they will start their ambush somewhere in the stone ridges region of the Gray Python Rift Valley."
In recognition of his deduction, Captain Bali grinned at him, knowing that it was the best place to ambush someone.
Suddenly, the other three vice-captains reappeared inside the hall. They all disappeared at Captain Bali's command, and the next thing they knew, they were riding a large, wingless python out of town…..
