Chapter 682 - Visiting The Orphanage

-----

Frank had already summoned his Dark Knight Troops to Gaia just now, bringing Zero and Nezhit leading a group of stealthy assassins! Some were alive, and others were highly specialized Undead, but all of them worked together for the same purpose, search and find the hideout of the Black Eyes!

After he killed these thugs, he extracted info from their souls and made them guide the Undead led by Zero and Nezhit, as they researched the entire city at night while searching for the area where they were hiding.

When they finally broke into the place, they found it was almost completely empty, some random guards were there and they got killed quickly, and the rest was just a lot of monster pets that were being trafficked elsewhere, and a lot of monster parts and materials left behind, the boss was nowhere to be seen.

A soul had said that the boss had a special and monstrous creature that was able to cross through space and move from one place to another incredibly quickly, so he might have escaped through this teleportation-like method.

Maybe if Frank would had gone there instantly, he could had caught him up, as he's able to stop people from teleporting when they're near him thanks to his ability to manipulate space, but that seemed to be unlikely now that he was too far away for him to realistically catch him, even less with no clues at all left behind to where he could had gone to.

He heard the reports of Zero into his mind through her telepathy.

"There's nothing… But we'll make sure to research the entire place, Master." She said. "So don't worry and leave the rest to us, please."

"Thank you, Zero." Said Frank. "I am glad I can count on you and the other guys."

"It is my pleasure to be useful to you." Said Zero.

"Master, when are we joining back with the crew?" Sighed Nezhit. "I am getting bored…"

"Ah… Well, soon. I guess you're Undead monsters so you can come in here easily…" Said Frank. "I suppose you can stay here for now and gather info and more."

"Sounds like a plan!" said Nezhit. "Way more fun than doing… Erm, whatever we were doing inside your divine realm."

"You were lazing around for the most part, but I had been polishing my techniques as always." Said Zero. "Thank you for this opportunity, Master. We won't disappoint you."

"Alright, take care." Said Frank, as he left them doing their own thing.

Frank suddenly walked out of the shadow domain after talking with them, as he began walking towards Miriam's orphanage with Gwendolyn and the girl at his side.

Suddenly, he sensed the presences of two people looking at him from afar.

He suddenly realized they were two nuns, one was as slender as a skeleton and the other as fat as a frog, and they were just as pretty as them.

"D-Damn it! What happened there?!" asked the old and slender one. "I can't see anything…"

"I-I don't know but suddenly just everything disappeared?!" asked the fat and younger one. "And then, they came back but the thugs and the monsters with them are completely gone!"

"W-What is this?! Who are these people?" asked the slender woman.

"S-Shut up and run, they're coming out!" cried the fat one.

Frank let them go because they didn't seemed like they had any intention of fighting and were probably related to the orphanage, whoever they were, Frank was going to confront them there.

As they walked through the streets, they finally reached the orphanage, it was in the middle of a very bad area of the town, with thugs everywhere the eye could see, it was a miracle that they didn't just fancied in just kidnaping the kids there and selling them off or something.

…Although there was a big probability that this had been happening for a while, perhaps.

Frank walked into the orphanage as he knocked the door for some time, but nobody came to open it, until around almost ten minutes of constantly knocking it.

Then, the two same women he saw earlier opened it, looking at him in horror.

"UWAH!!!"

"W-What…?!"

"Huh? You know me?" wondered Frank.

The two nuns looked at one another as they calmed themselves and acted dignified, they were good at acting.

"N-No, of course not!" said the woman.

"Y-You… who are you? Huh? Is that Miriam?!" asked the second woman. "S-She's okay…"

"Of course I am okay! Why wouldn't I be okay?" wondered Miriam angrily.

"Calm down Miriam." Said Gwendolyn.

"Ahem. I am Armand Frank, an aristocrat and the owner of a shop in the Market District, I am the man that has been paying Miriam to work in my establishment." Said Frank. "You must be the nuns, right? Nice to meet you."

The two women almost dropped their jaws into the ground as they saw Frank speak, they realized the big rich guy just came here out of nowhere!

"A-And what is your purpose here tonight, s-sir Frank?" asked the slender one with a big nose and a face resembling that of a goblin.

"This month since I employed Miriam I've been captivated by her cuteness, hard working nature, and her innocence, so I decided to adopt her as my daughter." Said Frank. "But because she might get sad if she's separated from her siblings, I am adopting all the children as well."

"W-What?!"

The two women looked at Frank with horrified looks, they couldn't believe what insane words he had just spit out of absolutely nowhere, out of nowhere, he actually wanted to adopt all the damn children in the establishment?! That didn't made any single sense at all!

Yet… yet that's what he wanted? Was Frank right on his head?

The women couldn't believe what they were seeing with their eyes and glanced at Frank in shock. He was really serious about it and seemed ready to do it, and because he was rich, money was not a problem for him… the only problem was if they either said yes or no…

"T-That's a bit of a complicated subject! W-Why don't you come inside first?" asked the slender black-haired goblin-like woman.

"Yes… please!" said the frog-like woman.

"Thanks, I will." Said Frank, walking inside the orphanage with Gwendolyn and Miriam.
