Chapter 136 – He’s hiding something.

The nobleman had already talked a lot with the guild master, but it was only about useless things about the city, with each word of contempt that the fat man threw on the town, the guild master clenched his fists more.

He was almost to the point of punching that pig in the face, but he knows that if he did that, it would have serious consequences, he could end up without his head at any time.

'I have to make it go away somehow, let's get into the main topic.' It's a subject he didn't like to get into, but that's why this fat man was in this place.

"Tomorrow, Rubens will be waiting for you at his mansion." The guild master told the nobleman who was in front of him.

"Don't worry. I had already negotiated with him before. Maybe he is already ready." The nobleman replied while smiling. He was pleased because he was close to concluding another negotiation.

The guild master knew everything, of course, but he would not say anything that would compromise the mayor of his city, as he would end up without his head; besides, he receives a commission to do this, so he accepted it because he needed to.

Money was the only thing he wanted now, but every day he felt worse for it, he tried to stop.

"Listen, there's a little girl who came with me, you need to be careful with her, maybe that girl will try to do something to compromise our deal." Even though he wasn't sure, he decided to speak.

He knows that this is a dangerous little girl, and if she decided to get involved in it, she could quickly end it. After she looks at him with those eyes, he almost gave up on his negotiation, but he couldn't do that.

If he did, maybe in the future, he will run out of customers, and he will be compromised. Right now that the queen has pledged not to get involved, he cannot be harmed by a little girl.

"Don't worry, and she won't get any information from me. I'm also going to talk to Marcya, so she doesn't get involved."

"Yes, I hope you keep your maid in control." The nobleman said and then decided to leave.

He realized that he had stayed in this place for a long time so that the girl may be suspicious of something, or maybe she has already gone somewhere, so he needs to hurry up.

"It was nice to have this conversation with you. I will stop by when I leave. I have to go to Rubens' mansion tomorrow morning." The nobleman ended his conversation while opening the door to leave.

The only thing the guild master could do was watch him leave, then he threw himself in the chair and started thinking about the shit going on here.

He doesn't know what to do, he knows the state the city is in, but he has no authority in that place, he gets funds from the mayor just to keep the doors open and keep quiet.

Even trying to lie his composure in front of that fat bastard, he is afraid of having made explicit what he thought.

This has been going on for so long, he doesn't even know when this city will exist, nor does he know when the queen will do something to stop him, everyone will end up dying in that place.

"Even though I am getting paid to keep quiet, that is not right, I have accepted this for a long time." With every negotiation that happened and every time he went out on the streets and saw the state of the people, he was even more sorry.

"I already know, the girl." The nobleman was an idiot. He just talked about the only girl who can affect his plans in any way.

'I have to find this girl; maybe she can do something.' Even though he feels pathetic about seeking help from a little girl, he still wants to do it.

Perhaps this city can be free after so long.

I arrived at the right moment because right after I arrived, it didn't take long for the fat man to go down those stairs with difficulty. The moment I looked at him, he avoided my eyes.

I think he is still a little traumatized, or just afraid that I will do something against him.

'He must have his reasons for that.' After thinking for a while, I began to suspect his visit to this city. It is a poor city that does not have many resources, and the mayor's measure was wealthy.

So I started to reason that this visit has something to do with the state of the city being like this, but I'm not sure of anything, so it would be dangerous to accuse him of something.

'Fuck, I should have spied.' I should have tried to hear what they were talking about inside the guild master's room, but now I missed this opportunity, maybe I have a next one.

When he comes to visit with the mayor of the city, it is an excellent opportunity for me, and it will also be easy, I am sure of that.

While I was thinking about what to do at their meeting, the fat nobleman approached me and said: "Come on, it's getting dark, the mayor has arranged a place for us to stay, it seems to be on the main street."

I think this mayor doesn't like you very much, wouldn't it be reasonable for him to let you stay with him? I feel sorry for him, but as I had already found a place to stay, I replied with just a simple: "I already have a place to stay."

The nobleman looked irritated for a moment but soon returned to his natural state, and he seems to have accepted that I have a place to stay.

I didn't care about that, but before I go to the inn to rest, I need to escort him to the place where he is staying tonight.
