"Hmm, Mr. Mendez...I have to admit that you are a generous person."

Alexander looked through the wallet he found when he searched Mendez

Alexander took out all the money and put it in his pocket without hesitation

Why is he doing all this?

He frankly doesn't care that Mendez is a bandit boss

He is not interested in eliminating the villain who turned the lives of thousands of adventurers into hell.

In his eyes, Mendez is nothing more than a big fish caught in his net.

He is a criminal and has a lot of money.

In this case, what is stopping him from robbing this bad man?.

Mendez's wallet contains twice as much money as he obtained from robbing young nobles in the forest

This made Alexander feel like he did the right thing even more

Alexander found a family photo in the wallet

Alexander took out the picture and looked at it. "You have a nice family."

"What do you want from me.."

Mendez was able to speak ten minutes after being poisoned, but he could not move his body yet

Alexander looked at him deeply

It seemed that he had found a weak point that he would use against his target

Alexander threw the photo on the floor next to Mendez. "Actually, I sent one of my companions to entertain your wife and daughter upstairs."

"You bastard..". Mendez's expression changed radically. "Your problem is with me, don't lay your hands on my family."

"Of course I won't do that." Alexander raised his hands innocently. "I'm not such a cold person..."

Mendez turned his gaze to the bodies of the guards that were piled up in one corner of the room

"Don't blame me for that...I mean What was I supposed to do other than kill them?...They wouldn't listen to me no matter what I said."

"What the hell do you want from me?" Mendez gritted his teeth as he looked at Alexander with burning eyes

If looks could kill, Alexander would have died thousands of times because of Mendez's stare

"I want documents or any proof of the identities of the bandits working with you. I would be grateful if you had information about the corrupt officers who are helping the bandits enter the forest..." Alexander revealed his goal

"I don't have what you want.." Mendez replied

Alexander was sure that Mendez had this information

He caught twelve groups of bandits and investigated them

We work with Mendez... so said all the bandits without exception

Is this a coincidence or a misunderstanding?

Alexander couldn't believe this even if he was beaten to death

Mendez was a merchant who had risen to the top of the city in recent years

He ran a company that sold weapons and armor

The weapons sold by Mendez were cheap and of high quality. Therefore, most adventurers dealt with Mendez's company

Alexander can easily guess how this company works

Bandits were stealing weapons, armor, and potions from adventurers

Then they give it to Mendez's company

Mendez then sells these items to adventurers again at a low price

Alexander had to applaud and praise Mendes' business mentality

"Mendez... Don't make me do something I don't want to do..." Alexander stood in front of him with a cold look

Mendez remained silent

"You will die and your family will accompany you to the afterlife..." Alexander said slowly

Mendez's expression distorted at his words

"but...". Alexander raised his finger. "Tell me the information I want, then I will let you escape with your family outside the empire. Your lives will be difficult, but at least you will be alive."

This was the devil's deal

Despite the difficult choice he must make, it is better than the death of his family

Mendez closed his eyes and said resignedly. "There is a computer in my office...the password is 'Livia'."

Alexander headed to Mendez's office without saying a word

He wandered around the palace before Mendez got here

He searched everywhere but did not find anything useful for him

It seems that Mendez was careful in his work

Alexander tried to search the computer, but he did not know the password. Even Mendez's wife didn't know the password

He downloaded all the files he found

His mouth opened wide when he saw Mendez's bank account

Seeing all this money that he couldn't get his hands on was painful

This money is deposited in Mendez's bank account. If Alexander wants to get this money, he must transfer this money to his bank account.

The problem is that he cannot do this because this money will be traced and the authorities will then discover the identity of the person who broke into Mendez's mansion

Baaaam

Alexander heard a loud sound coming from upstairs

"Ashley!" Mendez started screaming

Alexander frowned and went to the stairs, ignoring Mendez's cries

He detained the wife and her daughter in this room

He entered the room to find a bloody sight

There was blood everywhere and there was the body of a woman in the middle of the room and the head of a five-year-old girl in one of the corners of the room

Elena was standing near the woman's body, holding a sword many times longer than her body

" What happened?." Alexander furrowed his eyebrows

Elena threw the sword and picked up the phone. | This woman attacked me |

"Oh come on, Elena, this woman can't kill you. You could have subdued her instead of killing her.." Alexander shook his head and didn't buy Elena's story

| I will not risk getting injured for such a trivial reason.| Elena defended herself

Alexander sighed and left the room

He went down the stairs slowly

He didn't want this mission to end like this

He wanted to kill Mendez and leave the mother and daughter alive

But it seems that things did not go as he wanted

"Alexander, you bastard. You promised me you would leave them alone." Mendez screamed hysterically when he saw Alexander enter the room

He was so blinded by anger and hatred that he did not notice the teddy bear that was walking next to Alexander

"Calm down, man..." Alexander waved his hands. "They are not hurt, I will let you reunite as I promised..."

"Haah, are you really going to leave us?" There was a desperate expression on Mendez's face. He felt like something was wrong, but he wanted to cling to hope, no matter how small

" Of course..". Alexander knelt down and gently grabbed Mendez's head. "I promised you that you would be together in the end."

Alexander smiled warmly

Click!

Alexander quickly broke Mendez's neck

Mendez kept the same expression on his face, unaware of what had happened to him before he died

"Hah..." Alexander got up and left the place quietly

Elena was looking at Alexander's back deeply and followed him silently
