The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 50: Leaving the Old Stone

Chapter 50: Leaving the Old Stone

Quickly, Elena's messy room was lit up by the first rays of the day's sunlight. At that moment, Minos was lying with a beautiful young woman hugging him while resting her head on his chest.

Minos opened his eyes gradually as he yawned. He then recalled his activities with Elena last night. They spent most of the night 'playing' with each other, so the young Stuart was still sleepy.

Shortly afterward, Minos slowly got out of bed, trying not to wake the sleeping beauty, who was hugging him. He then went to the bathroom next to the room and took a nice cold shower to wake up completely.

After a few minutes, he came out of the bathroom with wet hair and a white towel around his waist. At that moment, the beautiful blonde, who was asleep, woke up and started looking at Minos with a smile on her face.

"Good morning. Are you leaving?"

"Good Morning. Yes, I will be leaving soon. I have to resolve some issues before leaving the Old Stone city." Minos said as he started to put on his clothes.

Elena got up from the bed and approached Minos. After that, she started to help him button his shirt. "Oh? So, you're leaving today… Well, the next time you come here, don't forget to come and see me, hehe…"

"Haha, you can go to the Black Plain too. It won't be long before that place became the best part of the north of the Central Continent!" Minos said with a confident smile on his face.

"Who knows, maybe in the future I will go with Elen sometime…" She said as she brought her red lips closer to Minos's mouth.

They kissed for a few seconds and then said goodbye. After that, Minos went towards where his carriage and his soldiers were waiting.

"Good morning guys, let's go back to the Hotel Olson."

…

It didn't take long, and Minos's group arrived at the hotel.

When they arrived at the apartment that had been rented, the rest of the soldiers were already having breakfast, and Ruth was sitting in a chair while she was drinking a cup of tea.

"Hmph, I thought you weren't coming back." She said in a disgruntled manner.

"Haha, I'm sorry for making you wait for me. But today, we are going back to the Black Plain, so you better get ready soon."

"Back to the Black Plain? Now that you have settled your affairs, wouldn't it be better to head towards the Cromwell Kingdom?" She asked, looking into Minos's eyes.

"Of course. I will only go to the Cromwell Kingdom when the Spiritual Tournament is 1 or 2 months away. There is no reason to go there anytime soon, and I have a lot of things to do in the meantime."

Minos did not consider this competition a priority in his plans. It could contribute to his plans for the Black Plain business, but that was just an initial contact with possible allies.

However, solving the population problem in his territory was the priority for Minos. So, he was not worried about that competition.

"OK."

…

Minos' group left to collect the last batch of spiritual pills not long after. That was the only thing that kept them from leaving, so they were really looking forward to it.

"Mrs. Vera, are my pills ready?" Minos asked a middle-aged woman, who was behind a counter in the store where he had just entered.

"Hmm, they are ready. Young man, wait a minute while I bring them here." Said the lady when entering a room that was next door.

It didn't take long, and the middle-aged woman returned with a medium-sized bag in one hand. "Here, if you need anything more, just talk."

"Hmm, thanks, but that's all I needed."

After that, Minos left the building and returned to his carriage. He could finally go back to his territory!

...

While traveling through the city, Minos' group was suddenly stopped.

"Sergeant Pyke, what happened?"

"Young master, there is a Nash family carriage in front of us. I believe they want to talk to us." Pyke responded quickly.

Shortly afterward, the young Elen got out of her carriage and headed towards Minos and his group. She smiled and said. "Are you going back to Plain Black now?"

"That's right." Replied Minos.

"Well, I have some business to attend to in the Kingdom of the Waves, so I was just thinking of traveling with your group."

"OK!" Minos said with a smile on his face.

It didn't take long and Elen and her bodyguard, Eduard, followed Minos' group in a different carriage.

"We have to pass the western exit of the Old Stone city. I left my spiritual beast staying in that place." Ruth said after the group continued on their way to leave the city.

"Hmm, okay."

Not long after, the group was heading towards the city of Portland while a great white eagle flew across the skies, chasing the chariots of the Minos group.

…

Meanwhile, in the Maritime City, three people were revisiting the places where the young Darell had passed before he died. They had just arrived from the Silva family headquarters, where they had received an order to find out what had happened to their young master.

Of these three, two were at level 48 and one at level 49!

They would hunt and capture those responsible for Darell's death in an attempt to alleviate the loss of his family.

At that moment, they were passing by the hotel where the young Darell had stayed during that trip. The three were in a room, while the strongest person was sitting on a sofa, receiving the report from the other two.

The only woman in the group, who was relaxed on the sofa, said. "So, Dennis, what did you find out?"

"Miss Sarah, I heard that the young master had participated in an auction just before leaving this city to go to Stone Island. But at this auction, it seems that he disagreed with one person. He revealed his identity to prevent that person from bidding on a certain 'item' anymore. But he was unsuccessful." A man with half gray hair, half black, replied.

At that moment, the blond man said. "I also found out that the young Master Darell's group tried to chase that person's footsteps before they left the city. But I was unable to discover the identity of the other group."

This was normal. The protector Philip had only recognized Minos' identity because he was the guard who accompanied the young Darell in his time at the Spiritual Academy. And as Minos and Darell were only one year apart, the two ended up attending many occasions simultaneously. And because of these occasions, protector Philip knew Minos's appearance very well.

But for other people, it would not be easy to identify the young Stuart. That's because he wasn't someone who tried to get a lot of attention when he was young, and stronger people, like these three, certainly didn't give a damn about the identity of a young man outside their family or the other great noble families. Of the Brown Kingdom!

Because of this, the number of influential people who could recognize Minos in the three great families of the kingdom, Silva, Brown, and Miller, could be counted on the fingers!

And as for the people who knew Minos' name, well, they were all on Stone Island, and the chances of them being questioned would be very low. That's because the city of Portland was much bigger than the Maritime City!

With that, the investigation group could only track Minos through Darell's tracks, but not from its own tracks!

At least it wouldn't be easy for them to come up with the young Stuart's full name. After all, how many Minos could there be in the Spiritual World?

The woman who was sitting then got up and said. "Since we have achieved nothing here, we are going to Stone Island. But this is going to be problematic…"

She let out a big breath and headed towards the port of the Maritime City, where the Silva family had their boats at their disposal.

'Ahh, this job may take months…' Sarah Silva lamented to herself.

…

Meanwhile, in the border region of the Kingdom of the Waves with the Black Plain, a beautiful fox with five tails was lying on the floor of the cave that she had previously found.

If someone looked closely, he could see some blood coming out of her bottom, just below her tails.

There was a pink bubble emerging from the body of this female fox as if it were an egg. But this was not an egg, but the little fox, which she had been preparing to give birth to.

"That's right, my baby, it's time to meet mommy…" The fox said in a voice full of love while breathing irregularly.

Shortly after that, a little fox with one tail, covered by a thin membrane, appeared entirely outside the mother's body.

The mother then quickly began to lick her newborn daughter, eating the membrane that protected her and the placenta close to her cub.

It didn't take long, and the little fox was nestled with her mother after being cleaned by the big fox.
