Holymancer : Unang Aklat

Chapter 34, part 1 : Serving justice, Retribution and Mart's secret!

Kinontak nang nagpupuyos na Clyde si Rodora.

"Madam Rodora hindi na ko magpapaligoy-ligoy pa. Kailangan ko ng tulong mo. I need you to look into a new case for me." Decisive na sabi ni Clyde na pagkasagot sa tawag ng kabilang linya.

Ibinigay ni Clyde ang kabuuang detalye ng pangyayari. Walang labis, walang kulang.

"Tatanawin ko ulit itong utang na loob. I'll pay you back later." Assurance pa ni Clyde para makumbinsi si Rodora.

Seryosong sumagot si Rodora. She can read his mood through the tone of his voice. "Ako ng bahala. Aasahan ko 'yan." Ani Rodora.

Sa totoo lang hindi na kailangang kumbinsihin pa ni Clyde si Rodora. Actually grateful talaga s'ya dahil like Clyde Rodora is equally as righteous as him. She hate injustice to her bones pero hindi na iyon sasabihin pa ni Rodora.

Sino bang 'di maeengganya kapag tinanawan ka ng utang na loob ng posibleng pinakamalakas na hunter ng bansa?

Rodora is no exception.

She want it.

She wanted to be in good terms with him 'cause he is not bad. She never knew that this decision of hers might save her neck later.

Umuwi si Clyde. Our guy is not on the mood to do anything. He decided to rest. Alam n'yang madi-distract lang s'ya sa paggawa ng anumang activity so he decides against the idea.

Rodora proves her competence yet again. Hindi pa man nag-iinit ang sofang kinauupuan n'ya ay tumawag na ito na may dala-dalang magandang balita. As you would expect from the most influential and well-connected hunter in the Philippines. She have proven to him again and again that her title as the president of the reputable hunters association is hard-earned.

"You're fast." May pagkamanghang sagot ni Clyde sa tawag ni Madam Rodora.

Rodora playfully snorted.

"I have a match sa dinescribe ng iskolar mo." Bungad ni Rodora kay Clyde.

"Talaga?" Sigaw nito na nagpahirap sa tenga ni Rodora.

"Oo." Pag-confirm pa ng presidente ng asusasyon. "S'ya si Ian. A rank B hunter specializing in telekinesis."

"Okay. Continue madam." Eager na sabi ni Clyde.

"In fact alam na nang kapulisan ang involvement n'ya sa kaso. They have a vague idea about what really happened. They have a lot of witnesses after all. But hindi nila s'ya iniimbistigahan para sa interogasyon so they can't confirm if the testimonies matches up." Paliwanag ni Rodora.

"Bakit naman?" Kumunot na noong tanong ni Clyde sa kausap.

"Because of someone's intervention." Pagbubunyag ni Rodora.

"Sino?" Malamig na tanong ni Clyde.

"Honorable mayor Reyes." Pagbubunyag ni Rodora sa isang pangalan.

Incumbent Mayor Danilo Reyes or Tay Dani to his constituent is the townhead of which the crime took place.

"Bakit?" Nangangatal ang boses ni Clyde sa panggigigil.

"Ian's full name is Ian Reyes. Mayor Reyes is his uncle. Ian's father is Mayor Reyes' younger brother." Pagbubunyag ni Madam Rodora.

"So Honorable Reyes is actually not so honorable," sniggered Clyde sarcastically.

This corrupt of a mayor is trying to cover-up for his murderer of a nephew. Clyde realized something. Evilness runs in their family.

Association president Rodora merrily agrees with Clyde. She thought he is spitting facts.
