Chapter 89: The man and his oath...

Inside the tavern of the main city, a man was sitting alone.

Although it was only 10 pm, the tavern already had no other customer except for this man.

In these past days of his life, he never imagined being in collaboration with those unknown groups of people. He really was supposed to be a professional thief but decided to quit and become a coachman later on.

But after that night, when a group of assassins which his frequent passengers decided to go on a mission in a place on the northern part of the empire, his life of being a coachman was also ended, and he became a spy for some reason.

First, he delivered the group of corpses to one of the branch families of the Gentlewind family. It was stated in the letter that the beautiful Miss in black clothing handed him that night, that if he was willing to cooperate he would be gaining more gold coins and if he refused, they would end his life for being a witness.

Which he accepted, he already saw how strong that beautiful Miss was. So it was easy for them to kill him if they wanted. He knew many good places for him to hide, however, he didn’t know what those people were capable of. What if they have the means to find him? And in any case, he would be gaining gold coins! So of course, this offer was hard to decline.

He doesn’t who was the leader of these people. But he also witnesses a weird person which he assumed was one of them.

.....

Last day, he was given a task to sneak-in at the Gentlewind family. He wanted to decline such a mission but the offer was so tempting.

20 gold coins! If he finds some valuable information about the person who sent those assassins to assassinate one of those people.

Such a reward could only be earned in his dream. He could buy hundreds of carriages with this money. He could buy a house and a lot for himself.

Before he agreed to the mission, he went first to the thief guild. To try and recruit some experienced thief. He could give them a reward of 2 gold coins with the mission that was supposed to be his. In this regard, he was safe and was earning.

A chuckle escaped at the thought. It was a wise move for him.

He really did not quit being a thief, he just quit doing some missions and decided to become a coachman.

But after coming to the thief guild, he noticed 2 people from the Gentlewind family. It was easy to spot them since their garbs had their family insignia at their back.

When his superior saw him, the superior called out to him saying, “what a perfect timing for you to visit the guild,” said the superior with a wide grin on his face. This superior was really a close friend of his.

He was slightly puzzled. Then the superior enlightened him.

After hearing what the superior said, a grin finally broke out on his mouth.

‘Perfect timing indeed!’ He thought.

These Gentlewind people were from the branch family, the Grenn family. It seemed like they wanted to offer hundreds of silver royals to sneak-in and steal an ancient treasure inside the main treasury of the Gentlewind family.

The superior explained to the people from the Grenn family, that this person in front of them was one of the best thieves in the guild.

He did not accept on the spot and made some thinking gestures. Also, he tried to increase the reward. But what he got was nothing other than inappropriate words of killing him and his family if he won’t comply with their demands.

‘What a bunch of fools!’ He thought inwardly.

He really was wondering why such a big and rich family was giving very low rewards.

200 silver royals weren’t really that low of cash, however, if compared to 20 gold coins, it was way lower like comparing earth and heaven.

Later on, he agreed to the offer. He also agreed to personally do the mission tasked to him by those shady groups.

With the help of the Grenn family, he was able to succeed in stealing the ancient treasure from the main treasury of the Gentlewind family. He also found out the truth of who was the one behind the sending of assassins to the northern part of the empire to assassinate an important person from those shady groups.

He learned that the perpetrator was the elder of the Grenn family himself. 20 gold coins immediately dove into his pocket. And with the addition of 10 gold coins if he finds some valuable information from the Grenn family.

Such a specialty of him, more gold coins were raining from heaven. That night when the butler and the elder himself went out, he snuck-in inside the elder’s chamber.

He could not use the information about the stealing of ancient treasure from Gentlewind family since it was part of the rules of the thief guild not to whisper business matters to others.

[What you see...What you hear...Leave it here!] it was their motto.

And the guild would be endangered if their customers would know that the information regarding the mission had leaked to the outside.

Finally, after several minutes of scrutinizing the elder’s belongings, he successfully unveiled one of its secrets. That the elder was the protector of the infamous group of bandits.

Another 10 gold coins dove into his pocket after that. And another mission was assigned to him.

His next mission was to have contacts with the bandits and befriend them, then lead them to rob a family of noblemen.

Together with him, they planned how to rob this noble family of their target.

Of course, someone would be going to rescue that noble family without the robbers knowing about it.

And for some reason, he became the coachman. A coachman who was in collaboration with the bandits. They even stabbed him to avoid any suspicions from the noble family that their victims.

When the rescuer arrived, he really did not think that the rescuer was a young man together with his sister. Originally, he thought that the two young people were just another unintended victim. But when the fight broke out. He almost dropped his eyeballs.

The bandits just went puff and were thrown away to who knows where!

After that...the young man placed a gold coin and healing potion near his face.

Such an event, in his life.

He could only force a dry laugh while remembering all the events that happened in these past days of his life.

From this point, he could probably guess what would be going to happen next to the Elder of Grenn family.

A chill rundown on his spine as he was imagining all these plans from the lord of those shady people. He really wanted to meet their lord.

Finally, he made an oath to himself...

‘I, Reppo Callidu, will never be on the bad side of those people!’
