Chapter 135: Click
Grey looked around and it didn’t seem like anyone was coming anyti soon. He wasn’t sure if that was because the house was so large that the commotion didn’t register, or if it was sothing else.
He walked to Silva’s body first, turning it over as he looked for a few things.
’Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.’ he pulled Silva’s long suit jacket up and eventually found a ring of keys hooked to the man’s body. ’Jackpot.’
Grey took it and put it away into his inventory. Since his Skrill Mask was out, he had the space.
Then he moved to Stella’s body and began to turn it over as well. He was looking for sothing very specific, and yet not specific at all.
He wasn’t sure if he could read notifications Stella had gotten while she was alive right now. But he needed an inkling of sothing. Maybe a special item with a description he could work with, or anything tangible for that matter.
Grey didn’t care about propriety anymore, he was more focused on survival. If they tried to make him seem like a pervert, then so be it.
He checked all the pins and bobs on Stella’s body. She had turned a pen into a bow, so maybe there was sothing else.
Grey actually wasn’t interested in her treasures, he was interested in their descriptions. He managed to find a dagger that was expertly hidden in her other boot. But even after stripping her down to her Nexis Suit, there was nothing else.
’The Nexis Suit is too skin tight to hide anything.’
Grey shook his head. Even sothing like a Cyber Warp would be attached onto the outside of the suit as per his understanding.
Since there was nothing there wasn’t a point in pulling her out of her Nexis Suit.
Grey moved on to Mauve and then Brad, but he didn’t find anything but hidden weapons on them as well. As far as Grey was concerned, they weren’t just poor, they were useless.
’Nothing. That probably ans whatever they used to gain Baron Giyoto’s favor was already handed over to him.’
Grey had already known that this possibility was high, but he didn’t want to leave any stone unturned.
’Now where the hell do I go? These keys better not just be for opening bathrooms and urinals or I’m making his skull a piss jar.’
The first place Grey went to was Giyoto’s office. However, he found that the french doors were locked.
This was actually a good sign in Grey’s estimation.
He started using the keys one after another until one finally managed to both slip in and unlock the doors.
Grey slipped in, closing the french doors behind him. The glass that covered them was opaque, so it would help. Hopefully since no one had co running after all the commotion, there wouldn’t be anyone coming. Or at least they were so weak that they’d be scared and hiding.
Regardless, having a little caution wouldn’t hurt.
He locked the doors, hoping that they were sturdy enough to not actually break on a couple of impacts.
Grey started going through the office, moving drawers and opening cabinets. There were quite a few and they were all filled with paper work. Everything ranging from lease agreents to what looked like governnt contracts for materials.
One would think a Baron stuck in a city wouldn’t have all that much to manage, but it seed like while in the societies Grey was used to a Baron would manage actual land and territory, here they kind of did the sa, but only insofar as leasing land and signing agreents.
They were almost like temporary owners of pieces of the city, and they did what they saw fit, but only within the laws and structure of the city itself.
Grey didn’t have ti to go through everything in detail, but until Grey got his hands on them, Giyoto was actually quite organized. Everything in his territory was probably in great, working order.
Also, Grey could see that he had a lot of what seed to be land rented to the "less fortunate
