Chapter 74 Mouse Company Leader

Meanwhile, in a not busy area of Peters City, a blonde woman wearing a mask on her face walked towards an old building, where several scruffy people were gathering on the outskirts.

In that place where these individuals who looked like homeless people were, there were small fires here and there, as well as a certain silence capable of striking fear into the hearts of the weak.

But this was not a simple place where people with no luck nor good judgment skills in their lives gathered. No, some of the eyes in the surroundings were not those of people who do not know what to do with their lives but of obstinate people with goals.

Precisely because of this distortion of signs, the strange sensation someone unsuspecting would feel when passing by this area was significant to the point of causing fear.

However, as significant as the sensation of being observed and the tension in the air was, the woman ignored this, already accustomed to visiting this area.

With that, she went on her way, passing by several individuals who limited the passage of people to the upper floors of one building that seemed abandoned.

And upon arriving at the most important place there, she finally came across better-dressed people, different from those on lower levels.

"Are you here to notify the completion of your mission?" A dark-skinned, muscular man, 2 meters tall, asked the newcomer calmly.

The blonde observed the man in front of her, disappointed with her failure. "No. Problems arose during the previous attempt, so I am here to notify your leader."

"Problems, huh?" That man's eyes sharpened as he looked meaningfully at her. 'Such incompetence...'

'Is killing a mere mortal that hard for this younger generation? Do they think that people of higher rank and seniority have to do everything around here?'

But that man said nothing to that woman that had seductive curves.

It was not his role to discipline her, even more so considering that this woman did not belong to this place. As such, he just walked out of the front of the door he was guarding, making room for her to move on.

Soon after this, Elise made her way to notify the people of this place about yesterday's incident, entering a relatively dark place with a strange smell in the air.

Smelling the odor of drink and another she did not quite understand, this woman wriggled her nose under her mask while a disgusted expression formed on her face.

She then ignored the vulgar decorations of that place and made her way to the office of the leader of this post.

Slurp!

"Ahhh~"

Upon entering that place, Elise saw a scene that she sincerely wished she had not seen, making her feel worse for dealing with such people.

They belonged to the same organization, but because she came from a different post, one with less 'corruption,' she could not help but be disgusted by such people.

This feeling was particularly true of the leader of this post, the man she had just seen sitting on a sofa, forcing a naked woman's face into his private part.

After being faced with that situation, she closed her fists, glared in that person's direction, and said. "I am here to report something about my mission."

"Oh?" That fellow finally realized Elise's presence, but he was not embarrassed nor stopped what he was doing.

He simply smiled at her, letting go of the body full of red and purple marks of the person who was serving him, and relaxed his arms over parts of that sofa.

As he made that movement that gave a different image of the tattoos on his upper body, he finally said. "Can't you wait a few minutes?"

"Or rather, if you want to join..."

"Tsk!"

"If you don't mind delaying the services ordered by our leader, I can wait for you to finish your fun." She said in an irritated tone.

The man then laughed wryly and looked at the woman serving him, who was in a deplorable state.

Seeing this, that woman ran her hand over his face, wiping the tears from her face and something else from her lips.

She then ran naked through there, quickly leaving those two alone.

'How despicable!'

'If it weren't for my leader's orders, I wouldn't even exchange words with someone like that!' She looked in that woman's direction in silence.

That man then pulled up his trousers and walked over to the chair behind his desk, picking up a sizeable brown cigar that was there and taking a few puffs.

"So?" He asked, still smiling.

"You shouldn't treat such a woman that way. What if she comes out saying the wrong thing because of your manners?"

"Hahaha, impossible!"

"That one there, I have already conquered body and soul!"

"You need to know her story!" He said with a proud look on his face. "She was married to a nice husband, and they both had three small children. But after a few nights of adventure, she dumped them to be by my side!"

"You must see, her husband still seeks out my Mouse Company every week in search of information from his missing wife..."

"The last time he did this, she was doing what you saw today, totally naked under my desk, while her pathetic husband was crying for her."

"Tsk!"

"You are despicable!" She looked at him with even more disgust, knowing that such a man did not use 'fair' means to deal with women.

Elise had been working with the people of the Mouse Company for months, so she had seen several situations like today's, with different women involved. As such, she knew he did not use natural conquest skills but somewhat corrupt means to bind his victims to him.

However, despite her contempt for such attitudes, it was neither her responsibility nor place to get involved with these people's problems.

With that in mind, she tried to ignore the previous situation and got straight to the point. "About the previous mission, I'm afraid I failed to eliminate that fellow once again."

"Oh?" That man with a goatee and black hair said, getting much soberer. "Is that why those three haven't returned yet?"

"They're still trying to handle that good-for-nothing?"

"No. They're dead."

"What?" He stood up from his chair, not understanding how three cultivators died trying to deal with an ordinary mortal.

Elise then said what she had seen the day before and that Lothur had returned alive and well from his mission.

"How can that be? Who would kill my men? They certainly didn't do any shit to justify something like that!" The veins in Kai Berger's neck trembled as he said these words in an irritated tone.

He had created the Mouse Company to help him serve the organization he and Elise were part of. Still, even so, he hated the idea of having his members eliminated without justification.

Kai was even capable of sacrificing his subordinates. Yet, those three were only doing a service he ordered and had never created problems for his Mouse Company.

As such, he could not help but shake with anger, feeling that he needed to show the person responsible for those deaths that he was not to be trifled with!

"I don't know," Elise said in a low voice before continuing with matters concerning Lothur. "But regardless of what is behind those three deaths, we must find a way to deal with that fellow."

"We've already failed to eliminate him several times, but if we can't deal with him in the next few weeks, I'm afraid that when our leader returns from Holland Province, we'll have problems..."

"At the very least, he will not be pleased to learn Lothur is still alive."

Remembering that their leader wanted to eliminate an old enemy and marry the Frost family, Kai quickly laid out his alternative plans. "I won't forget about that situation, but we must focus on eliminating that brat."

"But lucky for us, he's not like I know his father. Otherwise, it would be more problematic..."

"Hmmm."

"Then I will give some orders to my subordinates to set something up for him." He then smiled as he remembered something. "I heard Lothur likes to gamble, no? So, I'll have someone approach him and take him to the Three Feathers Casino."

"House Frost itself will naturally abandon him after that!"
