Chapter 721: Investigation (2)

Instead of inspecting her troops, Haruna walked around the training grounds like she didn\'t have anything in mind. For whatever reason, the guards felt like trying harder during the training, and apparently, they looked pretty loyal. In any case, Billy forgot about them when he saw Hector staring at Haruna like he was mesmerized.         

"Hey, look," Billy whispered to Natalie.     

"Hmm? Why are you pointing at Hector?" Natalie asked.     

"Come on… how can you be so… be so you at a time like this?" Billy asked.     

"It seems he thinks she is pretty… what about it?" Natalie asked.     

"Don\'t you feel anything, Natalie? Our eldest son found his first love," Kate asked.     

"He is too young for that," Natalie said. "Although that shows that he has grown up a little. He has been trying to copy his father a lot as of late, and perhaps that is why he is acting a bit different."     

"He is? I guess he wants to be as cool as me," Billy said while showing a prideful smile. "I will give him some tips on how to become popular. The first rule is that girls like boys who have fast legs."     

"I can only see that making sense among kids…" Sarah said while frowning.     

"Well, I can\'t say anything else. Hector has to grow up to be the kind of man that he wants, and I can\'t raise him to be excactly like me," Billy said.     

"By the way, Billy… how would you react if Christina were in his position?" Kate asked.     

"Let\'s see… I don\'t know," Billy replied. "Once she reaches that age, I will only allow her to marry someone who can beat me."     

"So unreasonable…" Kate said while facepalming.     

In any case, putting jokes aside, he couldn\'t teach his son anything regarding love considering that he was barely eight years old. Besides, Billy was no master when it came to that kind of stuff. He was absolutely lucky in getting three hot wives since he was aiming at older women from the very beginning. The only thing he could say was that hard workers are much more appreciated than slackers, and since his kids were already like that, there was no point in saying it out loud.     

Nevertheless, Billy decided to walk around the training ground and noticed that the soldiers had slightly different uniforms. He recalled that the samurai generals were divided into four groups. However, only Sei was around… still, he only came because Haruna had come, so he couldn\'t assume anything out of that.     

Although Billy stood out while walking around, he didn\'t have to worry about anything. Gathering information is really easy when one has Mind Control. That skill could even be used to seal some memories, so Billy didn\'t have to worry about leaving traces behind.     

After asking around for a while, Billy learned that Haruna\'s father and mother died around the same time. Apparently, eighteen months ago, they showed signs of a cold that didn\'t leave them. The first was the king and then the queen… When the cold began to get worse, and the healers failed at solving the problem, they made Haruna keep her distance from them just in case.     

"That confirms that it wasn\'t a coincidence that she survived," Billy thought. "There is no mention about other people dying due to diseases like the cold, and it isn\'t like they went somewhere and awakened some sort of pathogen… Regardless, if they were poisoned over time, the symptoms of a cold would be a good way to fool everyone."     

Since the healers failed at identifying the disease and assumed that it was a powerful cold, Billy knew that he wouldn\'t find any mentions of the symptoms in books around the capital. Nor did he have much time to do that… With that in mind, Billy decided to head to an alley, and when no one could see him, he used Invisibility. After that, he began to fly using Telekinesis and then went to look for the houses of the generals.     

It didn\'t take long for Billy to find the first, and he was the guy who Billy saw a long time ago during the battle against the ice titan. His name was Rui something… Probably, and Billy wasn\'t sure, and he couldn\'t bother to use Appraisal.     

In any case, he was working at his desk because his troops were busy training. Since the window was closed, Billy couldn\'t open it using normal means. So, he used Telekinesis. When the window opened, that guy frowned and went to close it, but then Billy touched his head and put him to sleep with Mind Control.     

"What do you know about the death of Haruna\'s parents?" Billy asked.     

"They died due to a strong cold…"     

"Are you sure of that?" Billy asked while frowning. "Didn\'t you poison them or thought that someone did that?"     

"No, and yes. But there were no signs of poison in their blood…"     

"... If you were to say who might have poisoned them, who do you think would have done that?" Billy asked.         

"The royal family has been admired for ages… No one in their right minds would have done this to their rulers."     

That was weird. In that kind of place, at least there are two or three families that would work behind the scenes to take place as the next rulers. In any case, Billy checked the library of that guy just in case and confirmed that he didn\'t have any weird books.     

After making that guy forget about that, Billy went to check the places of the other generals, but he found nothing. In the first place, it would be weird if someone suspicious got so high in the ranks of that army without being dismissed or called out by the previous leaders. Billy thought that the investigation would be easy, but his guess was wrong. He was using Temporal Vision to see the past, and he finally could see things that happened one hundred years ago using a mirror, but it looked like he would need a new one.
