Chapter 267: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 70
"How's that possible? I've just seen the Levitation Scepter along with Madam E not long ago," The bearded man doesn't believe it.
Kayn finally knows the na of that unknown woman back then during the ball.
"That was clearly a fake," Kayn shook his head to disagree. "Rember the previous chaos in the Freedom City not long ago?"
"I do. It was said that Kayn along with his squad mbers sneak inside the Freedom City and into the ball to cause chaos in hopes of assassinating Chief Kylo. They failed though, but it wasn't all good for our side since we've lost a significant number of allies,"
"You only heard half of it," Kayn felt pity knowing that the allies of the Assembly of Freedom were left in the dark about such an important and crucial piece of information. "Madam E was also present during that ball and she brought the Levitation Scepter with her,"
"During the chaos, she stored the Levitation Scepter inside her Storage Ring which Kayn and his squad were able to steal from her,"
Kayn started recounting the exact events that took place during the chaos at the ball. Every now and then, he would exaggerate so parts in order to make it seem like the Assembly of Freedom lost completely.
"In the end, they massacred the people who decided to save themselves and run to the Daze Village,"
"They killed all of their allies?"
"Yes," Kayn nodded.
"I did hear about that. I didn't expect that it was actually true," The bearded man was convinced. "I think we have to tell our guild leader about this,"
"That's right!"
The rest of his companions express their agreent.
"Not now, or else your entire guild might get included in the list," Kayn quickly discouraged them.
"You're right," The bearded man agreed. "Why are you telling us about this anyway?"
"Just like what I said, I was intrigued by your conversation just now,"
"Well…" The bearded man felt proud of himself. If it wasn't because he initiated an interesting conversation, they would have never heard of this crucial piece of information. "Thank you for informing us about this, buddy,"
"No problem, I just want to win the war, and knowing about this would help us prepare for the worst, right?"
"That's right!" The bearded man nodded. But in truth, he was snickering at Nyak's foolishness. Now that they know what actually happened, they'll make sure they get the full compensation they deserve or else the Assembly of Freedom can kiss their assess goodbye because they will not join in the war.
"How about informing the others here?" One of the bearded man's companions suggested, fully understanding what their leader intends on doing.
The flicker of greed in the bearded man and his companion's eyes wasn't able to escape from Kayn's attention, inwardly making him feel delighted.
"Are you sure? That might bring you trouble though?" Kayn pretended to be concerned.
"We'll just inform the Spiderweb Guild about it," The bearded man patted Kayn's shoulder as he stood up from his chair.
"Rest assured, we will be right back,"
"Why don't you go grab yourself a drink while we do the rest of your goal for you?"
One of the n tossed Kayn a coin, which he quickly caught while acting delighted about it.
"Alright!"
Not long after, the bearded man and his companions arrived at the table of the Spiderweb Guild. Just like what they ntioned, they started sharing the information they'd heard from the man who claid to be one of the secretaries of the headquarters.
While that was happening, Kayn went to the bar counter and ordered himself a drink.
"What did you tell them?" The bartender can't help asking.
"Say, do you offer the sa service as other taverns when it cos to trading information?"
"Do you want to buy information or sell information?"
"Sell information,"
"We do," The bartender nodded. "Let check for you at the back if we still have any vacant rooms open,"
"If there isn't, I don't mind going to your other branch and taking up one of the rooms there," Kayn proposed.
The bartender felt delighted and quickly left. "I'll be back,"
Greed.
He finally realized that this is the best weapon to use against the people related to the Assembly of Freedom.
"Considering that they have a limited amount of resources, it's no surprising to see everyone hungry to earn more," Natas muttered beside Kayn.
"Exactly," Kayn agreed.
"How about Maria? How will you inform him that you left the headquarters?"
"Through the bartender, of course,"
"Aren't you afraid those people will know who you really are?"
"I am not, because they will be busy fending off for themselves,"
At this mont, both the n of the Forest Bandit Guild and the Spiderweb Guild are busy discussing how they should deal with the new piece of information they've received.
It's very evident that the two are strong and solid allies that look for each other's back.
And this also proves that the eting right now inside the penthouse is an alliance talk between the Assembly of Freedom and the two guilds.
"They've probably realized that they are lacking allies, that's why they are gathering more,"
"That's expected since they've pretty much massacred a lot of them not too long ago,"
Finally, the bartender returned to the bar counter to inform Kayn of his news.
"Unfortunately, we have no vacant room left here, but if you want, I can let one of my n bring you to our other branch not far from here as I've received information that there's a vacant room there,"
"Such an obvious lie," Natas snickered.
There's no phone in 'The Bridge' or a way to instantly communicate with people, especially considering they are on the top floor of the headquarters of the Assembly of Freedom. So, it is impossible for the bartender to receive news from their other branch in that short mont that he had left.
It's very obvious that the manager of this tavern wants their business to earn more after hearing what Kayn did just now. So, in order to do so, he is sending the latter to where he can get the most profit from whatever piece of information that causes two powerful guilds who are holding a eting with Chief Kylo right now to promptly hold a eting.
