1067 Words
"Alright. Here's the plan. Daniel and Yuri, You guys go to an inn. David and Margaret. You guys go to a different inn. The thing is, the inn need to be far away from each other... Gather, as much information as you can. The limit you can spend to bribe someone is One Hundred in cash. Got it?"
"Yes Captain."
They quietly move in group and then pick where they want to go... Mashura and I split up from the rest of them and then go to another side of the city to find another source of information. And that source of Information is the Guild.
"Let's go, Mashura."
"Okay... But first, I want to know something. Is it fine that the combination is unusual like that?"
"... What?"
"You know... David and Margaret and Daniel and Yuri. It's a bit of a weird combination, no?"
Aaah... That's what you mean. Indeed, it's a bit unusual combination for me to make. But, there's a reason why I give them that combination. And the reason is pretty much so that they can shine even brighter.
"Without their siblings, They can't shine that brightly. That's the truth. But I want to make them shine brightly even without their sibling. Because as you know, If they're just work well together when their sibling. They're not going to go that far with us. Because as far as we know, The two of us. Work well with anyone. Because the fact that I'm the strategist, and you're the main attacker."
"Indeed... And I do think that is a good idea though... Since the Sibling tends to get a little bit overprotective... Especially the Boys... David is always protective over Yuri... And Daniel is OVER PROTECTIVE about Margaret... So... Yeah... The boys tends to be protective over their sister. Doesn't matter if it's older or younger..."
"... As a guy, I can see why that happened."
Mashura just chuckle after that comment that I made... I mean, it's true though... I feel like because those guys have been so long with their sister and the sister is essentially, the family that has been there for them for all this time... They don't want to see them get hurt or even get any bad treatment.
I would absolutely do the same thing with Mashura. I would KILL if someone badmouth her in front of me... I would be super protective about her even though she didn't need me to protect here because essentially, she's the one who wants to protect...
Anyway... We reach the Guild after a bit of explanation about my thought process... And when we reach the guild. All of that Stone Cold Killer stare goes straight to us...
But it didn't affect any of us... Instead... Mashura just use Her Infinity and I just change my eyes as well... Fight Fire with Fire, as usual... So, I stare at all of them coldly, while Mashura look at them coldly with killing intent... Her using Infinity told me that she's ready to use her Phantom Menace to silent every single person in this room...
And I'm also prepared to grab my Flashbang and Sound Bomb... If things goes south with them, I will... Take care of this situation as swiftly as possible.
All of those stares that is stone cold... Turn away from us. They're shivering in fear the moment we counter their stares with our stares. Everyone just get scared and screw off from our sight.
The Receptionist who saw the whole thing... Was scared shitless... The Receptionist is a lady... As expected...
So, the two of us just go to the Receptionist and greeted the Receptionist first before she can assess the situation.
"Hello. Here's our Identification card."
"G-G-Gold?!"
"Indeed we're. Now young lady. Can we ask to meet the Guild Master in this Guild?"
"Y-Yes sir!!! R-Right away! Please follow me!"
With that... The two of us follow the receptionist right to the Guild Master office. Now, the reason why we went there is because, I know the Guild master in here. So, I should be able to get information that is really valuable at less value...
But of course, the Guild Master has the job to protect the country private information. So, it's unlikely that I get the information less than a thousand...
I hope I can get it less than two thousand... Because I don't want to spend that much money on information that I don't know if it's true or not... He has no obligation to tell me the truth.
Anyway... We reach the Guild Master office and then the Receptionist Knock on the door...
"... Um... Guild Master. You have a visitor."
We waited for an answer. But, it didn't come in the form of voice. Instead, a loud bang...
The Receptionist open the door and we enter the room... We close the door and then when I turn around... I see the Guild Master. The same bald person... But now... It's different...
He smiled at me. He recognize me as his friend... But one thing for sure, I see a massive surgical wound on his throat... He put a board up and then it's written.
'Welcome back, Alfredo... Sorry for my state. I lost my voice due to an assassination attempt. They struck my neck but fortunately, they manage to save me. But in turn, I lost my voice...'
"I see. Sorry to see you in that state... Anyway. Nice seeing you still alive, Astel. It's been a while since we met. And the last time we met, You offer me a job with the Ruins. It's nice. But now... I'm here to ask you something... Is that fine?"
He started writing... Mashura just stay quiet. Because she didn't know who he is. And she can't really do anything about it... Moreover, Astel has lost his voice... It's going to be hard for them to communicate...
'Let me guess... It's about the situation of the Royal Family right? The Duke has requested help to the Guild... Do you wish to know further about this situation, Alfredo?'
"... I see... So that's the thing huh..."
"Seems like we crack the case, Alfredo..."
"Indeed. Don't worry Astel. That's why we're here... To stop the tense situation between the King and the Duke... Tell me more about it!"
'Thank you. You guys came at the perfect time!'
