Chapter 282: Interrogation with an Angry Fairy.

Haaaa, Tasianna I know you want to take the lead on this but youre wasting time by threatening him all the time. Here, let me show you. This is a good lesson for you and Saori anyways.

Gael tapped my shoulders, gesturing with his hand for me to move back to Miss Saori, Asaka, and Elrick. I glared at him, feeling frustrated he would ask me to leave this to him. However, my goal was so close. This man not only had mana batteries filled with the mana of spirits but also there was the pelt of a garm in his office the pelt of Songs host body.

I have to find the ones responsible for Princess Schuris death! I must! They are here in this city!

Tasianna. I turned my head around as Miss Saoris voice rang in my ears. She pointed at the man strapped on a chair using her tendrils before attempting to persuade me to back down. Thats the leader of the Layavete cartel. The cartel Gael mentioned was the reigning criminal syndicate of the city. You wont get through to him if he doesnt want to talk. Look into his eyes. I dont see any fear in them.

Despite surrounding the man with ice daggers, ready to attack if he tried to escape, he wasnt acting erratic nor was his breathing out of order. He seemed calm as if he was used to all of this.

Ive only just begun, Miss Saori. I can still I tried to argue, but Miss Saori simply wagged her finger.

No. You are letting your emotions get to you, Tasianna. Also, I think we have the same situation again, similar to when you had Kiiro around. Miss Saori eyed the three onnikai we met on our investigation. Leave it to Gael. He knows what he is doing. The sooner we have our information, the faster we will find the true perpetrator.

Understood, I reluctantly agreed to her demand and dispelled the ice blades surrounding our captive. I moved to the back with Miss Saori, who attempted to calm me down, telling me we will find whoever killed Princess Schuri eventually.

I hoped so. That human will pay for what they did.

Alright Gael scratched his head and pulled up a chair for him to sit in front of the captive. Treyenor Layavete, leader of the Layavete cartel and son of its founder, Westrix Layavete. Working behind the scene with two senators belonging to the eight Olden Money, meaning your syndicate not only possessed their financial support but also practically free reign when it came to expanding your area of influence. You were the ruler of the underworld of Gleisvale. Wow, those were the glory days, no?

The dark blue-haired man blinked, staying silent to Gaels words. He sighed after a while, shaking his head before finally talking. Gael. Some orphaned urchin born in the slums of Shaturein. Somehow, you managed to climb your way up in the graces of the Blackreach guild and met your future companions in the White Winged Dragoon and the Wing Ripper. Through their efforts, which you leeched from, all three of you managed to reach B rank with the former two even reaching A rank later on after you left them. How has your life been since you lost your lover? How has her brother been? Its been a while since you stole Lilene and Bo away from us.

Gael didnt react. His back was turned to me.

Bastard! I wanted to intervene, having heard enough from this arrogant humans mouth. How dared he speak like this to Gael when we had him captured?!

But I couldnt do anything. Miss Saori grabbed my shoulder and held me back, telling me to just watch. That was also the moment when I saw that criminal look at me. Looking into his eyes, I saw he understood exactly what he was doing and it enraged me even further.

But, before I could materialize an ice spear, Gael began to laugh.

Hahahahaha! Yeah, those were the days. I really brought a lot of trouble to Lilene back then. She was one of your flames back then, right? Beautiful woman. Probably the reason why she stole my heart and convinced me to get her out of your gang Gael reminisced, looking down at the floor as he became silent. Sorry.

Dont be. As you said, she was a flame. Just another pretty girl I could have gotten at any time. I have a wife and kids now, so I dont really care if she were to be alive or dead now.

I remembered Yorshka explained that Gaels lover had been kidnapped by the Yanderu Eluseuss after he defected from them. When the trio of Farron, Yorshka, and Gael went to save her, she unfortunately was killed. Afterward, Gaels life twirled into a disaster, falling into depression and becoming a heavy drunk.

He seemingly changed, but I did wonder what exactly caused it. Was his meeting with Miss Saori and me that impactful? Well, it was good he wasnt drinking all the time now.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

I see Gael nodded. I guess you want to return to your family in one piece today? Once again, like any other day?

The human simply stared at Gael, returning to his silence. Probably out of spite.

This isnt working!

Gael managed to get him to talk, but it seemed his plan wasnt working. I could hear the three onnikais next to me telling me to handle it yourself and that the longer we leave him alive, the more problems he will cause us faefolk!

I could also hear Uno and Song growling in displeasure, only holding their bloodlust back by virtue of their loyalty to Miss Saori. I knew for a fact, if Miss Saori hadnt been around, I probably would have launched my spears into this despicable humans body by now. Being ripped to shreds was an appropriate punishment for a fae hunter like him, just like what I did to that Yanderu fire mage back at the slave auction house.

Why are some humans such scum? Why? Just why?

I grabbed tightly onto the mana battery in my hand. Just like the spark which ignited the War for the Faefolk, this little object could herald in a second one. Humans, in their greed, do not learn.

Unlike the long-living races, they forget the mistakes of their forefathers because none of them lived long enough to pass it on properly to the next generation. Educating them in their history would be a wise choice, but how many would have access to it? Even then, some were just blind to goodness.

As the tapping of my left leg was echoing in the office of the Layavete cartels headquarters, the criminal finally chose to speak.

First, answer this. How did you manage to pinpoint this headquarters and also capture all my lieutenants? Most are known publicly, but not my bookkeeper.

The nerve!

Gael shrugged and answered, Well, not like you can learn anything from this really, since the conditions and combinations are pretty rare. He then pointed at Asaka and me. Those two ladies were our main scouts and information gatherers. You can defend yourself from leaks and rats, but you cant hide information when faefolk are involved.

Asaka then released the four fenrir onnikais from her catalyst, showing them off to the human. Sneaking in and out was pretty easy with these four. Eavesdropping and reading documents. The difficult part was pinpointing where you people were, but we have her for that.

I guessed Asaka was talking about me, as I was the one responsible for talking to the spirits around the area. Since they were invisible without needing the proper skills, they made excellent scouts. For anybody who wasnt one of the faefolk, this room might look empty, but I could see numerous of them gathering around, warning me to be careful.

Lesser faefolk were tricky to speak with, since they werent reasonable. You couldnt talk or negotiate with them if they didn't want to work with you, even if they knew I was a fairy. I could request aid, but they would only help if they were willing to. And, right now all of them were, due to their friends deaths.

Gael continued, now directing the mans attention to Saori. And then, the actual capture was done by our hard-hitter here. Our wolfkin is a tamer and arcane trickster. You should know, since your bruises and burns came from her.

I will be honest, for a level 38, you put up quite the fight, Miss Saori commented. But, I guess you had your equipment and runic tattoos to thank for that.

Two spell rings, a staff, and multiple daggers laid broken on the ground around us, all destroyed by Miss Saori when she went to capture this man. Looking at the damage outside this office, you would guess the fight was quite intensive.

Heh! Gloating on me, eh? Manatech is there to make up for our lacking profiles, but even my detection enchantment on my rings wasn't able to find you before it was too late. Lost my auracoil barrier and then my scepters spell couldnt even hit you before you knocked me out with some lightning.

Hearing it from him, instead of Miss Saoris modest retelling of the story, it really sounded like it was a crushing defeat. In general, the raid and ambush went really well since we had all this information we gathered from the spirits and onnikai.

Miss Saoris familiars, except for Uno and Song, captured all the cartels leaders and were now holding them prisoner outside this room. Even storming the building was too simple since Elrick and I were too strong compared to the foes we met.

The cartel boss then turned his eyes to me. Exhaustion could be seen on his face, but I presumed it was more due to sleep deprivation.

I guess you would be the faemancer here, elf? I guess you really cant defend yourself from somebody who can talk to tiny faefolk for information. Only thing you can do is get rid of the Kuek?!

The man flinched and immediately flinched his head to the side as I shot an ice spear at him. However, before it actually penetrated his throat, I held it back, only slightly touching him with its tip.

You really have a death wish, human. These onnikais and this mana battery are proof that there are fae hunters in this city. How and where did you get it?! I held the mana battery back up, drawing his attention to it. These onnikais want your death, for some, I couldnt keep the sneer from my voice as I taunted our captive, reason, but I can tell you have no idea what spirits actually look like. You cannot see them. If you cant see them, you cant sacrifice them for your greed like fairies. Tell me, who was the abomination who did it?!

The reason why fairies were mercilessly hunted more often than spirits before the War for the Faefolk was due to the fact there were less people with the ability to perceive mana in the air. If you couldnt, you couldnt see the lesser faefolk like spirits or spriggans. On the other hand, elementals and fairies were visible to the naked eye for even the most novice fae hunter.

Tasianna, redraw your spear, please. Let me handle this, Gael pleaded to me, looking at me with a worried look.

Turning around, I could also see Miss Saori on her guard. Her eyes wanted to tell me to calm down, again. But, at this point, what is there to gain from this man? He was wasting our time! He knew what to say but he didnt because he was deeply involved with all of this! Just like the onnikais said.

[He used our mana! Our life force! He must die! Die! Just like we did!]

[No mercy! No kindness! We were used and discarded! We were left to rot! No more! Kill him! Kill them all!]

[Stalling for time for reinforcements! Eliminate him! Free us, fairy! Free us from this pain!]

Why do we faefolk always have to suffer from these humans?

I agree. As if the words of these onnikais became reality, Elrick suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at the human scum. Criminals must be judged. Our peace with the elves is a fragile construct, and it is being threatened by this human waste. His actions will have repercussions for the entire human race. This is a diplomatic disaster.

Just like what Davison did.

Hold up, Elrick! However, our group was still conflicted on the actions we had to perform. I will bonk you with my mace if you continue speaking like a damn zealot. Stop it! We need more information from this guy! Our clue from that alchemist store gave us nothing to work with outside of those onnikais!

Lady Asaka, this man is a

Bla bla bla! Come on, can you think reasonably for a moment?! Put that sword down and think with your damn brain!

[Frost Body] activated, cooling down my body and my surroundings. My catalyst began solidifying my mana into a slime-like substance before forming it into a rock-hard ice shield. I used [Cryokinesis] with the instruction I received from Empress Melloxtressa, freezing any water particles in the air into solid ice needles.

You have no right to harm them while I am alive!

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
