Chapter 337 Meet The General Again
Earlier, when he caught the man, Erend seemed to see that he wanted to put something down. But the man immediately canceled his intention because he realized Erend's presence.
The man had reached over to the cupboard above the stove, not trying to open it. After all, why would a burglar aim for a cupboard in the kitchen and not head straight for the main part of the house?
Doesn't that mean he doesn't want to steal? If not that, then what does he want?
Erend immediately ran outside. He found the backyard of his house which was quite large, looked empty and dark.
Once again he activated [Dragon's Eyes]. However, he no longer saw anything. Those people were gone in a very short time.
Erend returned to the house. The man is not alone. It's even possible that he has more friends than one that shows up to help him.
Until now, Erend had not been convinced that the man was just an unlucky burglar. He immediately contacted Billy. Billy of course immediately picked up Erend's phone because of his light sleeper habit.
'Do you know what time it is?' Billy answered in an irritated tone.
"Someone's been stalking my house just now," Erend said, ignoring Billy's annoyance.
On the other side of the phone, Billy immediately widened his eyes.
'What do you mean?' he asked.
"I don't know who he is. But that person just came into my room and he doesn't seem like an ordinary thief," Erend said.
Billy's voice rose from the bed and immediately headed for the door. 'I'll check it out. Is he armed?'
It didn't take long for Billy to conclude that if someone broke into Erend's house, there was a good chance someone would break into his house.
So Billy immediately rushed to ensure the safety of his own home.
"The person who entered my house took out a stun gun. But there's still a big chance they have another weapon," said Erend.
'OK. I will check my house now. I'll call you in a minute.'
After that Billy's phone was hung up. Erend let him check the state of his house with a restless heart. But he knows Billy's ability so Erend is sure nothing will happen to him. Even if someone does enter his house.
Erend then proceeded to contact Adrien. Because he had a hunch that if someone was watching Erend, then the two of them would also suffer the same fate.
The three of them have been connected by a thread of destiny that cannot be undone.
They would face troubles together no matter what since the three of them had entered the Elf world together back then.
As soon as Adrien answered the phone, Erend immediately said the same thing. Adrien immediately made sure the security at his house was the same as Billy's.
After a while, Adrien called Erend and said that the three of them should have a group call.
Erend immediately agreed to the idea and contacted Billy. It didn't take long, they already had a group call.
"What the hell happened, Drake?" Adrien was the first to ask the question.
"I felt that something was observing my house. At first, I thought it was a creature from another world. But it turns out, it's a human," said Erend.
"At first, he admitted that he was a burglar. But I'm not so sure."
"I've checked my neighborhood in quite a bit of detail but haven't found anything," Adrien said. "But I know what you're thinking. If someone else is watching you, there's a good chance we're all being watched too."
"I think that makes sense. If I was the one who caught that guy I would think that too," Billy said.
As Erend had expected, they all shared the same thoughts.
"Who do you think it was?" Billy asked both of them.
"I have a hunch," Adrien said. "If they are not burglars, that means they have the desire to spy on us. So, it could be from the state intelligence department. But it is not certain that it is our country's intelligence."
Erend and Billy pondered over Adrien's words for a few moments.
"But, why do they want to spy on us?" Billy sounded confused.
"Could we do something suspicious?" Erend said.
"I don't think so," said Adrien. "That clone replaces us perfectly, right?"
They returned to silence because no one knew what had caused them to be suspected until they were being watched by people - who might be - officers from the intelligence department.
"I guess we'll have to find out for ourselves," Adrien suggested.
Erend and Billy agreed on the idea for now. Because the night was getting late and there was nothing else they could think of as a cause, they decided to end this group call.
With the conclusion that they have to find out for themselves why they are being watched.
However, before they actually ended the call, Erend had another idea.
He intended to contact Aurdis to ask her for something.

The next day, they returned to the military headquarters with a heavier feeling than the day before.
Today there are no troops of journalists lining up in front of the military headquarters. So their duty to guard in front of the military headquarters is reduced.
But now there was an even more difficult problem for the three of them. That is the fact that there are people spying on them.
Adrien and Billy turned to Erend.
"You got that thing again?" he asked.
"Yes." Erend nodded.
Just like the plan they made last night, the three of them came to General Lennard's room.
As soon as the General saw them enter his room, his forehead furrowed in confusion.
"What are you doing here?" asked the General.
