Berserk Stick System

Chapter 92: Current Alice

Alice looked at the man in front of her in doubt, if it was someone else, she would have chased them away immediately. But she didn’t do it right now, holding her chin she looked at the man in front of her. If she didn’t remember correctly, she would forget it soon enough because his face looked normal. But from the clothes he was wearing, it seemed that he was a person who had a lot of money.

“Okay, let’s talk inside,”

When her subordinates heard this, they were all dumbfounded. How could they not, this was the first time their leader did not immediately evict a person who came here. They couldn’t understand what had just happened.

Hearing the leader’s words, all of them could only relent and follow her orders. I smiled and followed Alice from behind. Looking at the brown-haired man, I had a scornful expression mocking him. His face was annoyed to see me, but he ignored it after that, I shrugged feeling bored.

Alice and I sat on the living room sofa, she kept looking at me so I felt uncomfortable.

‘Have I been found out?’

I’m a little nervous, but sooner or later, I have to do something about her wish.

“What do you want to ask?” Alice finally spoke.

“I wanted to ask about bandits that have been troubling the past few days, do you know something?”

“I do know something, but what are you going to give in return for this information? We’re not a social group that helps people like you selflessly,” Alice looked me straight in the eye.

‘So she’s asking for a reward, for information given? Is this for members?’

If I look properly, Alice’s group has members of the lower class. Even many children and elderly in the group. She seemed to be guarding and protecting them, it was only natural that they would try to rob rich or nobles.

I thought of several reasons why they should rob. First, most of their members are children and elderly, which means they will find it difficult to find work. Second, their members are very large, they need to raise a lot of money to support all of them. And thirdly, they rob rich and noble, maybe they intend to rob corrupt officials who don’t care about their people.

If you look at this slum and unkempt area, it’s only natural that there is corruption between officials and nobles. Even a city like the famous Sailos City has some irresponsible people.

“I will give you 20 Gold Coins how about?”

Alice was shocked to hear this, 20 Gold Coins? This is a huge amount for them. But she didn’t accept it right away and just kept quiet. Seeing her silent, I felt like this wasn’t enough and added more.

“Looks like you’re not satisfied, I’ll give you 25 Gold Coins, this looks better doesn’t it?”

“Okay, I accept it. But since I don’t want to go into debt, I’ll also help you with this matter,” Alice answered quickly.

I chuckled, reason I gave her a lot of Gold Coins, was obviously to help her. With these 25 Gold Coins, it would be enough for them to make a trading effort. That way they will not have trouble finding money again like stealing and others.

“You don’t need to help me, I just need some information.”

“No, I can’t do that, I’ll help you,” Alice said seriously.

“Okay, I understand if that’s what you want.”

I took out a bag of gold and gave it to her. Alice held a bag of gold a little nervously, this was the first time she had seen so much money.

“Can you explain what really happened?”

“As you know, we are a gang guarding slums. Actually, there are several gangs, one of which is a bandit gang. Those gangs are named, Black Snake, Blue Horse, Worm Cafan, and Gorflie, ones I mentioned are all bandit gangs,”

“Do you know their base location?”

“That’s easy, look at this city map,”

Alice showed me a city map, she crossed out a few places and named them there. After that, she handed it over to me.

“That is their base location and some of their branches. I warn you, they have more members than our group if you want to do something. You have to be careful,” Alice said seriously.

‘Be careful? Come on they’re just a bunch of bandits, after sneaking in and putting explosive devices in there, what can they do?’

When I saw the bandit gang location, I frowned. Their location forms a pattern. From here alone I could see demons trying to cast spells.

“Don’t you see this feels weird?” I pointed at the city map.

“Weird? What do you mean?” Alice looked confused.

“Isn’t their location forming a pattern?”

Alice looked at the map again, she opened her eyes wide. She only realized now, bandit gang’s base was forming a pattern. If one of the locations is crossed out again, the pattern will be visible.

“If we add this location, a strange pattern will appear.” I crossed out another location and seen the pattern shape for a demon spell.

“Wait, this location? isn’t this Blade Turtle gang location? All I know is they’re not a bandit gang. What happened, why did this form a pattern? Do you know anything?” Alice asked in shock.

“I do know something, it has something to do with demons. This pattern is for spells they will perform.”

Alice was dumbfounded to hear this, she took another look at the map carefully. If you look closely, it looks like that. It would be an international problem if it came to demons, this wasn’t just a bunch of bandits.

“This has to stop, we can’t let demons do anything,” Alice said.

“Don’t worry, that’s why I was assigned to deal with this,”

“You… Who are you?”

“Just call me Kevin,” I held out my hand.

Alice watched my hand silently and ignored it.

“Call me Alice,”

I chuckled, she doesn’t seem to like touching men, even though she was very close to me before.

“So what’s your plan? I’ll help as long as it’s within my reach,” Alice said.

“There’s actually nothing you need to do now, I just want you to protect the city in case something happens,”

“Is that all? OK, I’ll do it.”

“Then our business is done. I go now,”

I left the house. Alice watched a guy named Kevin leave until his silhouette disappeared. She sighed deeply, for some reason, she missed her lover now.

“Lute, where are you now? I miss you,”

Entering the room, she hugged the bolster pillow sadly.
