Park Go Gum looked at the yellow color liquid given to him by Claire. At first, he thought that one of the people from the Cullen family wanted to suck up to them. So they send their servant to invite them to a party or sothing. But as Claire stated the reason for her visit and gave him the bottle of the liquid, park Go Gum started to have a feeling that maybe this was sothing more…
"What is this liquid?" Alice asked Park Go Gum.
"I don't know." He replied truthfully. He then took a look at the bottle again. That bottle was in fact a very small vial with approx. 7-8 drops of yellow liquid in it. That vial looked like a normal glass bottle while the liquid inside it was clear yellow water. So he was not able to guess what was in it. To take a better look, Park Go Gum opened the cork of the vial and sniff the liquid inside.
As Park Go Gum was slling the liquid, Park Shin Hye also ca out to check out what was going on out here. When Park Go Gum slled the liquid inside he was assaulted by a fragrant sll. This fragrant sll had an invigorating effect on Park Go Gum. He felt that he was full of energy. And due to this property, he instantly recognized the liquid in the vial.
Sa as its effect, this liquid was called an invigorating potion. It is a potion that magus takes when he/she has to do research for a very long ti and they don't have ti to eat, sleep or drink. So after taking this potion one could work tirelessly for 24 hours straight. Magus frequently use this liquid on the upper floors. But as this was a very common item on the upper floors, it was not so common thing on this floor.
People on the 1st floor don't use this item as it was useless to them here. Because here a noble family rather have a strengthening potion than a potion like this. It was a useless novelty. So the question arises that what the hell was this potion doing here?....
"Tell again who did your miss ca in possession of this potion?" Park Go Gum asked.
"My Lord, as I said before. One of my mistress's most loyal servants and subordinates is on a top-secret mission for the Cullen family. He ca in possession of the potion. So he sends this potion to mistress and requested a eting with you regarding this potion." Claire said.
"Hmm… Why ?" Park Go Gum asked.
"I don't that information myself my lord. Even my mistress was puzzled by this request. But I know this loyal subordinate in person. He knows where he lies in the hierarchy of strength. Yet he requested a eting with you in person. I think that he had found sothing that he would rather discuss in with your personally." Claire said.
"Hmm… Where do I have to et this guy?" Park Go Gum asked.
"According to the letter received by my mistress, he wants to et you in the Harbor brothel tonight. A specific ti was ntion in the letter that she received." Claire said.
"Ok… You can go now." Park Go Gum said. Claire then greeted all three of them on more ti and then went away…
"What is that bottle?" Alice asked Park Go Gum.
"Invigorating potion. And a very strong one at that." Park Go Gum said.
"Invigorating potion? Here? On this floor? That is weird." Park Shin Hye said.
"So what are you thinking?" Alice asked Park Go Gum.
"This type of potion is very on the second floor. It is present in a good quantity on the third floor. But that does not an that this potion should be here." Park Go Gum said.
"Possibility of soone using their reference to buy a potion like this on this floor is very low. After all, this is just a backward area. I think that this potion must have been brought by soone who has an influence on upper floors. Maybe Alman?" Alice said while analyzing the situation.
"That is a possibility. And we could not overlook the fact that this potion was only useful to him on this floor." Park Shin Hye added.
"I thought of this. That is why I will go and et this guy tonight. We are not able to find any traces of that guy Lopt. And we already suspect that Alman maybe is involved in all of this. Talking to that guy may help to gain knowledge of any sche that Alman maybe be up to." Park Go Gum.
"Hmm." Both ladies said and then they both their separate ways. While Park Go Gum was left in the hallway with the vial of potion in his hand.
....
That night Park Go Gum changed into the clothes of a normal-looking commoner of the outer city. Then he sneaked out of the estate and went out to find the Harbor brothel. He had no idea where that brothel was located. So after so people for directions, Park Go Gum ca in front of a bright alley.
That alley was brightly lit and many were very crowded. On different floors and on the street many won and n wearing revealing and tight clothes were roaming here and there. As Park Go Gum will pass by so won would flash their breasts at him to entice him to co to her. So of them cling to him trying to pull him towards their room. But Park Go Gum didn't flinch even for a second.
As he walked deeper into the alley he was on a lookout for any sign of soone following him or keeping an eye on him. After all, he didn't know who he was supposed to et here. It was then soone tapped on his shoulder. Park Go Gum thought maybe another one of the prostitutes was trying their luck on him. But as he looked behind, he saw an old man behind him…
"Gojo! You ca. I ask you to co and you ca! I am so happy. Co let's have a drink sowhere private. I would like to show you the yellow rum that is my friend's specialty." The old man said and started walking in a different direction while pulling Park Go Gum behind him. And Park Go Gum started following him without a second thought.
Park Go Gum had seen this old man before. He used to work in the Cullen estate. He t him after they just ca to the 1st floor. As he was already a very strong man he didn't have any reason to vary of this man.
The old man dragged him in a small bar. There he took him to the last and most corner most table. Then the old man ordered so rum for both of them and then he started speaking…
"Gojo… You see let tell you a story about yesterday. I overheard a man that so bigshot from Arcane city ca here. And then …." The old man started telling him a detailed story.
Park Go Gum understood that this man was trying to talk in code language. The bigshot from Arcane city must be a reference to Alman. But he was not interested in the coded talk. So after ti drinks ca. After drinks were served, Park Go Gum took out a red color stone from his storage ring. Then he put that ring in the middle of the table. And as he did that an invincible do surrounded their table.
"There from this, no one will be able to eavesdrop on us. Now you can stop using the code words." Park Go Gum said.
"First of all, I want to apologize to my lord. I didn't want to drag you out here. But the circumstance seed that I must have a talk with you my lord." The old man said.
"Co straight to the point old man. Why did you ask to co here?" Park Go Gum asked.
"You see my lord, I was on a mission given to by the old master. So during the mission, I had to have a talk with so people of Arcane city. So I visited the city. There I found out that City Watch HQ or Alman's ho was closed to common people for so days. He is hosting a guest in his ho and he didn't want anyone to disturb them."
"Hmm."
"I didn't mind it at first. After all, we all from the Cullen family know that Alman is a man that has very high standing. And his influence is what we can't fathom. So after my eting was over, I was about to go my way but then I encountered this individual. He was rap*ng a woman in a secluded alleyway. So I tried to stop him. He was too strong for to handle. So he beat up and left there. That man was using a black ax as his weapon…"
