The Villain Can't Lose

Chapter 81 Crowded Chaos

?

As I walked through the corners of the kingdom's city, my mind was focused solely on my mission. The buildings that surrounded me were grand and imposing, with intricate details etched into each one. I couldn't help but appreciate the skill that went into every brick and stone.

As I moved, I couldn't shake the feeling that Zuri was almost impossible to find. It was frustrating, but I knew I had to keep searching. I had a sense that I was getting closer to the next clue, and I refused to give up now.

Then, I spotted a building with a black door and a bright red dot in the center. I remembered reading about it in the book, and I knew that I had found the correct location.

"Bingo," I muttered under my breath, my tone serious and focused. I made my way inside, ready to uncover the next piece of information that would aid me in my task.

As I stepped into the tavern, I could feel the eyes of the other patrons scanning me. I kept my head down, trying to avoid drawing attention to myself. Their eyes were sharp, and I could feel them following me as I made my way across the room. 

I spotted the stairs leading up to the rooftop and quickly made my way towards them. I covered my face with my robe, hoping to remain as inconspicuous as possible. I climbed the stairs quietly and found a place to sit, studying the other people on the rooftop. It was clear that this was the meeting spot.

After a few minutes of observation, I realized that my presence would be noticed if I stayed too long. I quietly made my way back down the stairs and out of the tavern, scanning the nearby buildings for a suitable vantage point to spy on the tavern.

I spotted an abandoned building nearby and made my way towards it, keeping to the shadows as I moved. I found a spot where I could observe the tavern without being seen and settled in to wait, keeping a watchful eye on the comings and goings of the people inside. I knew that I had to remain patient and vigilant if I was going to complete my mission successfully.

I moved quickly but quietly through the building, trying to avoid being seen or heard. As I made my way to the roof, I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins. I needed to stay alert and focused if I was going to gather the information I needed to complete my mission.

Once I reached the roof, I found a good spot where I could keep an eye on the surrounding area. I settled down and waited patiently for Zuri to return with the information I needed. But I knew that this was all part of the job, and I had to stay focused on the task at hand.

As I waited, I scanned the area for any signs of movement or activity. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the rooftops and streets below. The air was still and quiet, except for the occasional sound of a distant car or the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Hours went by, and my patience was wearing thin. But just as I was about to give up hope, I saw a group of people gathering near the tavern. My heart raced as I watched them, hoping to catch a glimpse of the person I was looking for. And then, finally, I saw him – the man I had been waiting for.

I quickly took note of his appearance and any other details I could gather before he disappeared from sight. With this information, I knew my mission was one step closer to completion. I made my way down from the roof, and froze for a second from the shock of seeing Dante and Doru standing in front of me. My jaw dropped and my eyebrows lifted in surprise. How could they have followed me here?

"What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to keep my anger in check.

Dante replied, "You looked suspicious, so we followed you."

I glanced over at Doru, who was writhing in pain on the ground. I couldn't help feeling a twinge of satisfaction at the thought that I had caused him that pain earlier in the morning.

"Why did you bring him with you?" I asked, gesturing to Doru.

Dante stood in silence for a moment, looking back and forth between me and Doru.

Before he could answer, I heard the sounds of commotion and screaming outside. "Great!" I exclaimed, my anger rising. "Now we have even more to deal with."

I turned and made my way towards the door, with Dante and Doru following close behind. As we hid behind the wall, the chaos hit us full force. People were running and screaming in all directions, and I knew that we needed to act fast if I wanted for them to get out of this alive. I was completely sure of myself, but these two... Had no idea what they were actually capable of right now. 

I scanned the area, trying to find a safe place for us to hide. "Dante, Doru, hide immediately," I commanded, my voice low and urgent.

As they disappeared into the shadows, I felt a flutter of wings on my shoulder. Zuri had returned, and she was pointing at a large, imposing figure in front of us.

"I got all the information you needed," she said, "but you will need to take him down first."

I nodded, my heart pounding with excitement. This was it – I stepped forward, ready to get revenge on Nari's parents and find Ace's Hildon sister. 

Tightening my wrist and scanning the crowd of tall men who were bringing little girls from a carriage. Some of the girls were tied up with ropes and were being hit. I looked for the one with dark red hair, desperately searching for her amidst the chaos. "Where are you?" I said to myself, my heart racing for what's about to come. I knew I had to find her and get her out of here in return for his trust.
