Will of chaos

Chapter 698 Cap 696: Finding The Ruler Of Crime

Pov Nira:

I talked for a little over 30 minutes about the 6 stores and the Trade Guild employee by the name of Bryan said he could find some traders willing to leave their stores inside the Guild for the time I mentioned to him.

We entered into an agreement that he would talk to these merchants, he also told me that he would hold the last two stores for me and delay the delivery of the second one if the merchant in question allowed.

I wrote a draft of an agreement for him to present to these merchants, to present fair terms and an attractive price for the time I'm asking, I hope this streamlines this whole process.

After that I started talking to him about the Auction, according to him only the Commerce Guild is authorized to hold auctions, but I could talk to the Guild Master to host an Auction where we will be in charge of everything with a Guild employee supervising everything closely.

In addition, the Guild would be entitled to a still-to-negotiate part of the Auction's earnings.

In other words, they will give up the space and we will manage the Auction while closely watched, but I expected that my only concern would be with the values ??they will ask for.

After finalizing everything, Ivan and I leave, with an appointment for tomorrow where we'll discuss more details.

Pov Zenos:

While I ate something after I woke up, I took the opportunity to talk to Elsaris about the 10 prisoners.

She said the woman was the right hand of the ruler of crime and the others were agents working for her, the boy who tried to rob me was just an apprentice with potency who was being trained.

Elsaris said that a Moon Spirit was nearby and confirmed that she told the truth.

"I'm still amazed at your luck, you managed to capture the right arm of the greatest criminal leader in the Kingdom within minutes of arriving, we still hadn't even arrived at Lilian's house." (Elsaris)

"It's not my fault, I just caught a thief and some people with bad intentions against us." (I)

"Dad, it's always your fault, I knew something was going to happen, we all did, I just didn't expect it to be so fast." (Elsaris)

"At least it's not a volcano." (Hinata)

Hinata appeared crossing my body with her spectral body, it made a shiver run through my body.

"Get out of there Hinata." (I)

"I didn't see it, Érica said it was amazing." (Elsaris)

"That wasn't my fault, we were just passing through at the wrong time." (I)

"The moment we were next to the volcano?" (Hinata)

"Irina looked angry as her new clothes burned a little from the heat." (Elsaris)

"Wasn't it so hot?" (Hinata)

"I was dipped in magma, it wasn't too bad." (I)

"The master got naked." (Hinata)

"You may have heat resistance, your clothes may not." (Elsaris)

This conversation wasn't going to go anywhere, so I finished drinking my 3rd bottle of blood and my sandwich before heading to the room where Lilian was reading a book.

I went to talk to her a little.

"What do you think we should do with these 10 we captured yesterday?" (I)

"Release them, by now they must know it was us, there are eyes all over this city and everything happened in the middle of the street." (Lilian)

"If we do this will it solve the problem?" (I)

"Unfortunately no, they will come after us, they will probably try to kill us." (Lilian)

Sigh

"I didn't want to kill anyone, I came just for fun." (I)

"What do you want to do, Holy Son?" (Lilian)

"..." (I)

I thought for a few seconds, I've always heard that anything can be resolved with a good conversation.

"Ne tell more of this criminal ruler." (I)

----------

It was already night, I was drinking a glass of wine sitting in a really comfortable armchair in front of a fireplace.

Soon someone comes through the door and sits in an armchair that he drags across the room to be next to me.

"I hope you enjoyed the wine, it was a gift from a friend." (Jonah)

"The wine is very good, I'm surprised how the Golden Sea Serpent venom complements the other ingredients." (I)

I drink another cola of the slightly sweetened drink with a hint of acidity and sublime taste.

"I considered him a friend, it was a shame to find out he was stealing from me." (Jonah)

"I take it you know who I am?" (I)

"The Vampire that is with my subordinate, I hear." (Jonah)

"You know Jonah, I didn't want to be here in his office, let alone capture that woman." (I)

"It was just a coincidence what happened to her, so I'm leaving her and her friends here." (I)

My shadow extends behind the armchair and 10 unconscious people come out lying on the floor.

"As you can see, nothing was done with them other than a few questions." (I)

"You put me at a disadvantage for knowing so much about me, Mister Zenos." (Jonah)

"..." (I)

"Don't be surprised that I know your name, the Church of Light is very keen to go after you, there is a generous reward." (Jonah)

"Thank you for the warning." (I)

"Thank you, your help in saving this continent's World Tree allows us to continue acting as we always have." (Jonah)

"Fine with me, I just don't want anyone interfering with my affairs." (I)

"If I may ask, why are you in this town?" (Jonah)

"Tourism." (I)

"Tourism?" (Jonah)

"I'm just having fun, travel should be fun, going to new places, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures." (I)

"Then I hope you like this beautiful city." (Jonah)

"Me too." (I)

I look for the first time at the man beside me, he was a half Demon, from his ears it looks like he has Elf blood too.

I stand up and wave at him before falling into my own shadow.

----------

Later that night.

I had just returned, and everyone was waiting in the living room of Lilian's mansion.

"I talked to him and got his subordinates back, he seems pretty smart so I hope he doesn't come after me." (I)

"I still think we could kill them all, it would be so much easier..." (Layla)

"Stop talking nonsense, you psycho Fairy." (I)

When I finished scolding Layla, I look out the window from afar, the truth is that my Aura was all over the mansion.

That's why I felt these more than 30 presences surrounding us.
