Chapter 186: Tasks
Everyone heaved an internal sigh of relief. Calling soone ‘Sir’ was sothing they could not digest. They were re commoner mobsters after all. But the one before them was a noble. Not to ntion, he was the highest paid official in the entire Confederation. So, they had no choice.
But now that they were given permission by the man himself, they had no more reservations. That was one worry less. But alas, that was the least of their reservations.
But not everyone shared the sa thoughts. There was an exception.
“Bo… boss…” Elise barely controlled her facial muscles. She had never called soone ‘boss’ her entire life since the one above was her master.
But she continued nonetheless. “The incident last night…”
“Yes, I did it.” Adrian casually answered.
Everyone released a collective sigh. They had sowhat guessed it. All they needed was a sign of confirmation.
Before Elise could say anything else, Irene looked at Adrian. “What happened last night?” She asked in her ever-nonchalant tone.
Everyone creased their brows.
“As I said before, I wanted to sleep with soone and gave a brothel a visit.” Adrian answered with a shrug.
Visit? Everyone gulped.
“Wasn’t that too risky of a move?” Elise asked, ignoring Irene’s ignorance about the matter.
“Nope. Nobody who witnessed at the scene remained alive. Well, there’s one actually.” He turned to the middle aged woman, Samira Nedal. “A few girls should have co to join you.”
The woman stepped forward with hesitation. “Yes. Today, at dawn, a few girls indeed ca to join us. All of them were from the Great Pearl. And the one leading them seed to be especially determined.”
“Everything ended well then.” He turned to Elise. “The only living witness is under our watch.”
“But the Black Skulls-“
“I never even took them as a factor in my stay here, until last night that is. They are interesting to say the least.” He began to rub his chin.
Everyone forced a smile inside their minds. The strongest syndicate in Edenshield, and one of the strongest in the entire continent- was rely interesting?
Elise was just about to say sothing when Irene interrupted her again.
“What happened there?” She asked. “You did not only give them a visit, did you.”
“Well, I killed all the syndicate mbers their and also burned the place do the ground while I was at it.” He casually replied.
“You should have taken there. I was assigned to protect you.” She said with the sa expressionless face.
The spectators gasped. The monster actually took down the entire establishnt by himself, without even needing the ice monster?
“Nope.” Adrian shook his head. “You are too young to go to a brothel. I will take you sowhere else the next ti.”
Irene stayed silent and looked ahead. His promise was enough… for now.
Adrian looked towards Samira, the madam of the Pink Willows. “I leave everything to you then.”
“Pardon?” She frowned.
“What? Already forgot what you said?” He smirked. “If the Great Pearl disappeared, you were confident in making the Pink Willows the best whorehouse in the city. You should get to work then.”
Her eyes and mouth opened wide agape. Realisation struck upon her. She had not even thought in her wildest dream that his casual question that spray would hide such a deep aning. Moreover, he walked the talk- making a behemoth such as the Great Pearl disappear.
She forced a smile on her face. “I can take care of the girls. But the products are not the only factor. We need better infrastructure, and for that- we need resources.”
Adrian looked at Eustace, the youth with light blue eyes. “I have heard of that interesting hobby of yours. And it is quite interesting I say- sothing that sowhat matches that of my own.”
Eustace stepped forward. “I don’t deserve such praises.” He bowed. Since that one ti, he did not dare to et those abyssal eyes with those of his own.
“But the most important requirent in doing what you do is information. And apparently, Samira deals in just that.”
“I will do my very best to ensure the prosperity of the Pink Willows..
“Ohho. Quite straight forward I see.” Adrian raised one of his brows. “If you can get through this, I will give you a reward befitting your performance. And trust , it will not be low by any ans.”
“Thank you boss.” Eustace took a step back.
Adrian then looked at the pair of siblings- the little Ley and the huge Caleb. “Co here.” He brought out a scroll from underneath his coat.
Ley took the coat and opened it. It was a list of nas and corresponding addresses. She recognised quite a few of those nas and frowned.
“This-“
“Yes. It’s a list of low and mid level leaders of the Black Skulls. You know what to.”
She took in a deep breath. “Yes.” She answered with determination.
“Support her.” He turned to the huge man, which prompted the man to instantly kneel. He had learned his lesson.
“Yes.” He answered.
Adrian then turned to Asmond, the muscular young man and took out another scroll from underneath his coat.
The young man nodded and stepped forward.
“Here, this is a list of things I need. I need them as soon as possible.” He gave Asmond the scroll along with a pouch.
The man first looked through the scroll. He raised his brows. He was familiar with a lot of the listed items. He ventured into the Northern Wilderness after all. Despite his curiosity, he did not dare to ask anything.
Then he opened the pouch. What he saw inside had his jaws on the floor. But he took a few breaths and composed himself. “Consider it done!” He thumped his chest.
Adrian finally looked towards the scar faced man, Halseed and the beautiful young woman, Elise. “Now, I believe it’s ti I look into your goals a bit.”
Both of them took a deep breath.
“Such great works should be inaugurated in the most auspicious way possible.” He smiled.
“Let’s give the church a visit, shall we?”
