Chapter 1305: The People Waiting

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The news of Mayor Syro Derl being abducted was suppressed by the government before it could get into the public, but those with special channels still got hold of the news, like Lagren.

The Monster Hunter contact cum hotel owner was tapping the table in front him heavily, producing a relentless bang.

Syro Derl’s abduction had, without a doubt, exceeded Lagren’s expectations.

In fact, when Hardy Lynne was killed by Wilberst, in addition to the myriads of monsters in front of his hotel, everything already went beyond his expectations.

Huu!

No one likes unexpected incidents. Lagren was no exception.

But fortunately, he was used to dealing with these kinds of out-of-control matters.

After all, things related to Monster Hunters could never produce a hundred percent guarantee.

Since he was used to things going out of control, he would know how to deal with it as well.

Leave the professional matters to the professionals.

At first, Lagren thought it was nothing but bullsh*t, but after he went through all that, it became very reasonable.

Things that he lost were enough to tell him what should he do now.

Therefore, Lagren picked up his beer mug, drained it, and went upstairs to Kieran’s room.

He didn’t have to knock because the door was opened.

“Dealing with your people always gives me benefits like this.”

Lagren saw that Kieran was waiting for him in his chair. He shrugged, then he saw Kieran’s cold, expressionless face, it caused him to shrugged again.

“Of course, there are bad things as well.”

Lagren then walked up to Kieran.

“How do you see the incident?” Lagren asked.

“What incident?” Kieran asked.

“The whole incident!”

“From the moment that idiot Hardy Lynne lost that thing and what followed after that!”

Lagren pointed at the bed, and after Kieran expressed tnat he didn’t mind, Lagren sat on it.

“Hardy Lynne is really an idiot,” Kieran said in a blank tone.

“That’s it?”

“THAT’S IT?”

Lagren’s eyes widened, but it was useless because Kieran only nodded to his answer.

“You know, I am not talking about this. Hardy Lynne stole that thing to find his missing daughter, it was really idiotic of him, but we don’t have to discuss that now.”

“What I am saying is... The person who did this!”

“The one who kidnapped Hardy Lynne’s daughter and abducted Mayor Syro Derl, that guy!” Lagren emphasized. He thought he was being obvious enough.

But unfortunately, Kieran didn’t answer, he sat there quietly without even reacting.

“You know something, right?”

“You must know something! Tell me! Hurry!”

Lagren stood up anxiously, he started to circle Kieran, hoping that he would get some answers from Kieran like this, but Kieran wasn’t moved at all.

Kieran sat there like a statue and completely ignored Lagren.

It upset Lagren a lot, but he quickly gave up because he understood the temper of a Monster Hunter.

If they were willing to tell, they would tell.

If they weren’t, nothing would be able to force them.

It really upset him a lot sometimes, to the point that he really wanted to punch them in the face. However, once he thought about the gap in strength, Lagren quietly sighed.

He didn’t give up, though.

Even if his words were useless and his actions were ineffective, he would never step back.

Being stubborn wasn’t exclusive to the Monster Hunters, a lot of those who were related to them shared the trait as well, it was just that they themselves didn’t notice it.

“Wier!”

“The things that you spoke with Wier about before this, there must be a reason behind it and based on how you feel about Wier, I bet you won’t purposely give him hints.”

“So you must have known something.” Lagren was very certain.

This time, Kieran didn’t hide it anymore.

What Lagren said was the truth, so...

“En.” Kieran nodded.

“And?” Lagren pressed the topic.

But nothing came from Kieran anymore, he was silent again.

Lagren looked at Kieran in his chair, he clenched his fist and panted heavily.

“If I could defeat you, I would show you what an ass you’re being right now!”

Lagren grumbled, then he stared at Kieran.

His stare lasted for a few minutes.

In the end, his eyes sore and had to be rubbed to ease them. Just when Lagren was rubbing his eyes, Kieran suddenly spoke.

“A little more.”

The sudden words made Lagren lower his hands right away, his eyes toward Kieran, however, got even more unfriendly.

“You did that on purpose, right? A little more? What little more?”

Lagren was worried that Kieran would become a quiet stone again, he ranted before quickly following up with his question.

“Who is that important figure?” Kieran said slowly.

“Important figure? You mean...” Lagren jolted though.

As if he thought of something, he instinctively wanted to say it out, but when he opened his mouth, he stopped.

“You can’t tell? Or something will happen when the name is mentioned, that’s why everyone was scared of this figure?”

Kieran looked up into Lagren’s face for the first time. The latter shrugged and helplessly opened his arms out wide.

“Anyone who knows this figure can’t tell those who don’t know.”

“Not even the slightest hints are allowed?”

“Unless... this figure wanted to inform the unknown of his or her existence?” Kieran asked.

Lagren didn’t answer, but his reaction and attitude had said it all. Thus it was enough for Kieran to deduce.

“Interesting,” Kieran said.

He then stood up and walked downstairs under Lagren’s confused gaze.

“What are you going to do?” Lagren couldn’t help but ask.

“Waiting for someone in the lobby,” Kieran answered.

“Waiting for someone? Who?”

Lagren was once again ignored by Kieran.

Kieran didn’t do it on purpose this time because when he walked downstairs, a sharp breaking noise from a car came from outside the hotel.

Wier came out in a hurry and said in a rushed tone, “Lord D, please come with me. The Lord wants to see you!”

“Very well.”

Kieran didn’t reject, neither did he ask questions. He just simply followed Wier outside.

There was no need to reject, no need to question.

He has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Everything should be revealed now.
