~Night 7:30 p.m.
'I heard from the locals of the city that the best time to enjoy Lapras City is when night falls.And I know what I am gonna do. Enjoy some time before all the craziness I have to face.'
'Alright let's leave my accessories here and wear some commoner's clothes and this pouch which will have some money and I'm set to go.'
'I sneaked out the mansion pretty easily as it seems no guards were at their guard tonight. Well lucky for me, I got to get away from here.'
I started to stroll around the streets, the street performers performing their arts. The different neon lightning bathes the streets. You could see why tourists and Nobles enjoy coming to this place.
'On the way, I tried using my Odin's eye, but to no surprise, except the children , everyone was at least level one. It shows how much I need to improve myself.
"How much for these skewered meat sausages? Can I have two please."
I started to enjoy my food as I passed by the same 5 year old boy from the noon incident. It seems he has injured himself. Where is his brother?
"Hey boy! Need something to eat?" I gave my other skewered meat sausage to the boy who ate it instantly, whereas I'm struggling to eat one because it's hot.
"Hey boy! Where is your brother?"
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
"They took him."
As soon as I heard him, I knew it was gonna be a problem I can't solve on my own.But I can't leave this boy alone for too long can I? It also seems to be a serious problem.
"So boy!"
" Dilson." He replied without even looking at me. It seems calling him Boy bothered him.
" Ok Dilson. Who took your brother?"
"They took it. They took my father first and now my brother."
'What is he talking about?'
"Don't worry Dilson, I will find your brother. Okay. Let's look for him."
Dilson looked straight into my eyes with his dead looking eyes and said.
"My brother also said he would find our father."
Are you comparing us now?
"Look Dilson, I'm not alone in this ok. You will be helping me too. Ok. Let's try to find your brother together. I bet your brother didn't say that. Did he now?."
"No he didn't."
"I see. Now tell me his name."
"Gilbert"
"Only Gilbert, Okay right." This is gonna be a long night. I hope I don't get into some deep shit. I have seen this trope too many times in movies.
~Night 7:30. James pov.
'It seems both guards have left the residency just a few minutes ago. Should I follow them? No, that would be too stupid. But still this curiosity is killing me.'
Suddenly he saws Hunter leaving the residency in commoner's clothing.
'Where is Hunter going on? Don't tell me he thought it was a good idea to roam and enjoy the city at night without any protection or personal space to be beside him.'
'Let's follow him for now. Make sure he doesn't get lost.'
Hunter watched a street performance for a while. Then he met with some people who drew his picture in a few minutes and then he moved on to Food stalls and bought something. Oh it's Skewered meat sausages. A pretty normal food for the occasion.
'If it were me, then I would have gone with those Octopus legs, wait a minute. Octopus legs in this part of the continent. Ohh I'm eating the whole stall right now.'
'After some time passed he realizes that The young lord has gone missing. Oh no What am I supposed to do now?'
~Somewhere in the sewers.
"Hey Hens! Are you sure we are going the right path?"
"Shut up. It's been too long since Owens sent signals and he is not the type of guy who does these things."
"Yeah. You are right. Even that Other Owen I met was strange. His body felt cold even though he was alive and it is not a blessing."
"Hm…. Yeah I trust your instincts Jake and .." as soon as he saw Jack's face he understood what it meant.
~ clap clap clap clap clap clap clap.
"Gotta say, Duke's men are more capable than I thought they were."
Same man that was hiding in the shadows came out and revealed himself. He was easily 6.6 ft tall and was a wide man with brass knuckles in his hands where blood was dripping.
"Hens, Run".
Hens started to runs back whereas Jack chargers on the incoming intruder.
