Chapter 967: Young Prince Karyk

....

"You can open your eyes."

The entire place was completely silent, and that silence was only broken when Karyk spoke. Qien was lying on his knees, his eyes staying close in fear. It was only when he heard Karyk's voice coming from right beside him, he slowly opened his eyes. As he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that the entire place was completely empty. The gang members weren't there anymore. Even the body of the person killed was not there. All signs of blood were also erased, as if nothing like that ever took place. Qien felt like he was going crazy. Was this all an illusion? No! He was certain that this was the reality!

This place was one where he had promised to meet the gang members that paid him. If they were here, the gang should have been there as well. "Did you... kill them?" His voice was trembling when he asked the question. "What do you think?" Karyk asked in return before grabbing Qien by his collar and helping him up. "If you don't want to join them in the afterlife, you would listen to me, right?"

"I won't be hurt! I am a grown man!" The young boy pouted. "Mother, please...?"

"How about it? When you turn twenty, I will take you out myself?" The Mother asked. She didn't like disappointing her son either, but she could not agree to this either. Even if she was to agree, she knew that her husband would not agree. Even though this was their city, they knew that there were many hidden enemies there. Everyone knew that the prince was their weakness. If someone found out that the Prince was outside the Palace, it could really become dangerous. The Prince lowered his head. "Alright. I will go back to my room." He was truly disappointed, already having an answer. They were never going to allow him. "Wait, you didn't tell me what other gift you want?" The Mother asked. "I'll be fine with anything." The young boy left the room, accompanied by the maids. Outside the room, the young boy remained silent. However, a lot of thoughts filled his mind. 'Mother thinks I am weak. I will leave the palace myself and prove to mother that I'm not weak when I return in the morning!'

In another corner of the city, Qien knocked on the door. An old man opened the door. A happy smile spread across his lips as he saw Qien standing outside the door. "Qien, it's you! I suppose you have already succeeded? You must be here to give me the promised reward!" "I'm not sure about the promised reward, but I am definitely here to give you a reward." Another man's voice came from behind Qien. Before the old man could react, he saw Karyk in front of him. His throat was grabbed as Karyk pushed the old man inside the house. Qien also entered the house and closed the door behind him. ....

Half an hour later, the door closed and Karyk stepped out of the place with Qien. "Which one is my house?" he asked Qien. Qien pointed towards the neighboring house that had a lock on the door. Karyk had already checked his pockets but he couldn't find anything that was stolen. He didn't know where that thing was hidden but he believed only that house could give him a clue. He was convinced that the mystery of the past revolved around the thing he had stolen.
