The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Alive or Dead

The frightened Rara Pujiwati quickly shook her head.

"I-I don't know what, Gusti Senopati..

Oath in the name of Lord Vishnu, I did not know about this incident at all", Rara Pujiwati brickly answered the question Senopati Gardana. Hearing that answer, the high-ranking officer of the stocky Seloageng soldier immediately glared at Rara Pujiwati.

Kkkkkkh !!

"Don't lie !!

Gusti Prince Adipati will definitely impose the death penalty on you if you dare to cover up who is the mastermind of this event. Quickly say, otherwise I will not hesitate to torture you", Senopati Gardana kicked down the wooden table in front of Rara Pujiwati loudly until the sound reached outside the room. Rara Pujiwati to fall so shocked.

"Oath to death, Gusti Senopati servant does not know..

The man who attacked Gusti Pangeran Adipati came along with Gusti Rakryan Maheswara, Mantri Amancapraja to the place of servant. His word he needed a job, and Gusti Rakryan Maheswara said that he could hire our entourage at a high price if the man entered into the entourage of gamelan harvesters.

Thinking of profiting from the work offered by Rakryan Maheswara, the servant finally accepted his presence. If only I had known it would end like this, I would have rejected the man ", a long description from Rara Pujiwati made Tumenggung Ludaka and stood on top of Senopati Gardana immediately scrunched his forehead.

Mmmmmm..

"So the one who brought that person into your entourage was Rakryan Maheswara?", asked Tumenggung Ludaka who had been watching the movements of the frightened Rara Pujiwati. Tumenggung Ludaka who is experienced in dealing with spy problems like this, immediately knew that Rara Pujiwati was not lying.

"True Gusti Perwira..

He was taken to our place in Karang Anom Duchy, a week before this event was held. The person is quiet and does not talk much, but he often disappears without news. Her name is Gorawangsa", Rara Pujiwati turned her eyes to Tumenggung Ludaka.

Hearing the name mentioned, Senopati Gardana and Tumenggung Ludaka looked at each other. As the head of the Seloageng Duchy which borders directly with the Kingdom of Jenggala, Senopati Gardana although never met but often heard of the Gorawangsa lunge known as the Swordsman of the Lifesaver as a mercenary swordsman who often slaughtered people based only on the gold kepeng in the Jenggala region.

Tumenggung Ludaka himself also often received reports from the telik ciphers who served on the border about the actions of Gorawangsa who often messed up at the border of the Panjalu region.

"Goravangsa? So the person who tried to harm Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono was named Gorawangsa?", Tumenggung Ludaka again asked the tledek dancer.

"True Gusti Officers...

Name Gorawangsa. He once said that he came from the foot of Mount Bromo" said Rara Pujiwati emphasized his story. Hearing this answer, both Tumenggung Ludaka and Senopati Gardana were increasingly convinced that the person who tried to kill Panji Tejo Laksono was really Gorawangsa the Swordsman of Life-Attraction.

"Okay, we believe your words.. But to keep you safe, you and your men should stay in this place until we ask Rakryan Maheswara.

I'm afraid someone else wants to silence your mouth to cover the trail of the mastermind of this assassination attempt", as soon as they finish talking, Senopati Gardana and Tumenggung Ludaka immediately move from their seats. With one gesture, two prison guards immediately escorted Rara Pujiwati to her detention room.

"We must immediately report this to Gusti Pangeran Adipati, Tumenggung Ludaka..

Otherwise, I fear that Rakryan Maheswara escaped from the palace to avoid his arrest", hearing Senopati Gardana's remarks, said, Ludaka nodded in understanding and the two of them immediately rushed to leave the place to head to the private room of Duke Seloageng.

Meanwhile, Rakryan Maheswara who saw the failure of Gorawangsa in harming Panji Tejo Laksono quietly began to draw up his escape plan. Although still participating in the friendly event, but before the event ended Maheswara had gone home first.

Arriving at his residence, Maheswara immediately prepared some clothes into a black cloth bundle. Seeing her husband's strange demeanor, Dewi Anggarasari immediately asked.

"Where are you going Kangmas? Kog seems to be in such a hurry?".

Without turning his head towards his wife, Maheswara continued to do his work while answering his question, "There is business outside the city. I have to go today".

"Kog is so sudden? What is this order from Prince Panji Tejo Laksono?", back Dewi Fergarasari asked. Hearing the question, Maheswara stopped his activities for a moment. The face of this burly man seemed to stiffen like he was holding back his anger. But Maheswara soon mastered himself so as not to arouse suspicion in Dewi Anggarasari.

"True, this is the duty of the new Duke Seloageng Dinda", Maheswara replied as he continued to search for something in the pile of clothes in his wardrobe.

Hearing that answer, Dewi Anggarasari did not ask again and left her husband who was still rummaging through his wardrobe.

In the private room of Duke Seloageng, Panji Tejo Laksono who received the arrival of Tumenggung Ludaka and Senopati Gardana seemed to be thinking hard after hearing the explanation and thoughts of these two officers. The young prince from Kadiri stroked his chin while continuing to listen to Tumenggung Ludaka's description of the results of his investigation. As soon as Tumenggung Ludaka finished talking, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately raised his question.

"So, according to the investigation of uncle and Senopati Gardana, the mastermind of all these events was Uncle Maheswara?", hearing the question, the two people immediately nodded with confidence.

If calculated from the series of events that occurred, he is the only suspect who is most likely to do that" replied Senopati Gardana immediately.

"But why would he do such a thing? What's my fault with her? While I still counted his nephews", asked Panji Tejo Laksono who seemed to still not believe what was going on.

"All crimes do have a reason, Gusti Prince.. Whoever did it, must have their own reasons.

But whether it's family or close friends of Gusti Prince, for all perpetrators of crime must get the right punishment so that in the future no one does the same thing", said Tumenggung Ludaka while respecting the Panji Tejo Laksono who is still sitting on his seat of greatness.

Mmmmmm..

"I understand Uncle Ludaka.. As I promised the coronation this morning, then I will be firm and not stand for wrongdoing. All crimes will be punished accordingly.

Senopati Gardana,

Get Uncle Maheswara now! If he resisted, use all means to capture him, live or die!", said the Duke of Seloageng prince immediately.

"Sendiko dawuh Gusti Pangeran Adipati", Senopati Gardana immediately saluted the Panji Tejo Laksono and rushed out from within the Duke's private room followed by Tumenggung Ludaka who also respected the Panji Tejo Laksono. The two immediately rushed towards Ksatrian Seloageng.

With 200 selected soldiers from the Seloageng Ksatrian, the two officers quickly moved towards the residence of Rakryan Purusoma.

A wide smile was engraved on Rakryan Maheswara's face as soon as he found what he was looking for. A talisman that is shaped like a snail but seeks a stone that smells good. This was the Buntet Conch Talisman, a talisman that could be used as a tool to protect themselves from any sharp weapons because this talisman was an immune talisman.

After finding what he was carrying, Rakryan Maheswara immediately ran towards the door of his residence while grabbing a black cloth bundle containing several pieces of clothing and several pieces of gold and silver.

But how surprised Maheswara when he got outside his house and saw hundreds of Seloageng soldiers had surrounded his house with unsheathed weapons. But Maheswara soon gained control of himself as usual and walked calmly towards the porch of his residence. In front of the foyer, Tumenggung Ludaka, Senopati Gardana and Demung Gumbreg who took part in the effort have prepared to face all the possibilities that will happen.

"Gardana Synopathy.. What's the matter? Why are you surrounding my house ha? Did you forget that I am the daughter-in-law of the late Kanjeng Father Duke Tejo Sumirat as well as Mantri Amancapraja of this Duchy of Seloageng?", a series of questions spoken from the mouth of Maheswara. Hearing that, Senopati Gardana smiled wryly.

"I know it all, Maheswara.. But what I regret is why do you have the heart to tell people to harm Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono? What is the meaning of this act of yours?", hearing the question Senopati Gardana, Maheswara pura surprised.

"Wearing Gusti Prince Adipati Panji Tejo Laksono?

You're accusing me of treason like that? Don't be reckless, Senopati Gardana. Where is the evidence?", said Maheswara trying to tickle off the accusation.

"Your mouth cannot be trusted, Rakryan Maheswara..

But that tledek dancer told me everything. Now come with me to the Gusti Prince Adipati to account for your actions", Senopati Gardana stared intently at Maheswara.

"If I refuse? What can you do?", challenge Maheswara while glaring wide at Senopati Gardana.

"Then don't blame me for forcing you, Rakryan Maheswara. Gusti Prince Adipati Panji Tejo Laksono has ordered us to bring you life or death", Senopati Gardana is no less fierce.

"Bad!!

You must learn from being polite with the close relatives of Seloageng Duchy Palace, Senopati!!", after shouting loudly, Maheswara immediately shot towards Senopati Gardana while throwing a loud kick.

Whuuussshh !!

With his calm, Senopati Gardana retreated a few steps until Maheswara's kick only hit the ground. A fierce fight between them soon ensued. The battle of martial arts skills empty-handed takes place fierce and exciting. During this time, Maheswara did rarely show his martial skills until the cleverness of silatnya enough to make Senopati Gardana surprised.

Whuuthhhh ..

Dhhaaaassshhh dhhaaaassshhh !!

Senopati Gardana managed to throw two hard blows towards Maheswara's chest. The body of the husband of Dewi Anggarasari was pushed back a few steps but he seemed to feel nothing at all. This surprised Senopati Gardana even more.

While patting the spot where Senopati Gardana's hard punch was, Maheswara grinned widely as he said,

"Is this all your ability?"
