Chapter 150
"A-Armed?" Baron felt like crying. What kind of job did I get myself into? Once they got to the urban
vige, Baron gathered his men around and kept telling them to be careful. He told them to never let
anyone find out they were on a search for someone. The fighters nodded.
"Got it, boss. I''ll talk to the locals and find out if there are any sketchy guys around."
"I''ll go to the Crimson Hall. Leoric, one of Jeanne''s guys, is there. This vige is his turf."
Everyone split up and talked to their local friends to find out where the Sweoya spy was.
Baron said, "Don''t worry, boss. This is a small vige where everyone knows everyone. It''ll be easy
to find a foreigner. They''ll probably find him this afternoon at thetest." He looked around and
rubbed his hands. "I heard Nearcity Vige has some mean barbecue. Wanna get some and have a
little beer?"
"Nearcity Vige?"
"Yep." Baron pointed at the sign beside the road. "This urban vige is made up of a few viges.
The one in the center''s called Nearcity Vige, or Nearcity for short."
Kingsley smiled. "It''s alright. I have somewhere I need to be, but you don''t have toe with me.
Just call me if you need me." He just remembered that this vige was Leroy''s hometown. The guy
was working on the Nicholson Family Cemetery, and he kept watch over the site every single day.
Thest time Kingsley saw him, he was as tan as charcoal. Even so, he refused to leave the site.
Now that Kingsley was at his hometown, he wanted to visit Leroy''s bedridden father. If his sister
was around, he could ask her if she had seen anyone suspicious.
He went to the mart and got some fruits and gifts. ording to Leroy''s file that Daniel sent him
previously, Leroy''s house should be on the hill in the northernmost side of the vige. It was just a
pigsty made out of red bricks. He knocked on the door, and a girl asked, "Who''s there?"
Kingsley thought about it for a moment and lied, "I''m Leroy''s colleague. Thepany just gave us
some gifts, and I''m here to give them to you guys."
A few momentster, the rusty door yawned open, and a youngdy peeked outside. She looked
clean and was in a bleached school uniform. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was lively
enough. This was Leroy''s sister—Yvonne. She was eighteen years old and in her senior year. She
blinked at Kingsley. "You''re Leroy''s colleague?"
"Yeah." Kingsley nodded and gave her an innocent smile. He might be the fearsome Ares, but he
was only twenty-two, and he looked handsome. Yvonne let her guard down easily.
"Come in." She let him in and said sheepishly, "But it''s a small house. We only have two rooms
here. Dad can''t move around, so he''s lying in his bedroom. Here, have a seat."
The room was dim. It only had a bed with a metal bed frame and a small desk. The space was not
ideal, humid, and hot, and even the paint on the wall was peeling off. "This is your room?" Kingsley
sounded sad.
He suddenly understood why Leroy did not fight back even when Ka pped him so hard that it
made him bleed. He understood why Leroy was so loyal to him just because he gave the guy a job.
He has a poor family to feed.

Kingsley took a deep breath. "Don''t worry. Our boss is a generous one. Leroy''s making 4,500 a
month. You''ll have enough money to build a new house soon."
"Yeah, Leroy told me about it!" Yvonne nodded. "He said his boss is the kindest, most brilliant, and
most handsome man he has ever met!" She rested her chin on her hand, longing surfacing in her
eyes. "I hope I can meet his boss. He sounds like a great person.
"Ahem." Kingsley looked awkward, as he did not expect Leroy to have praised him that much.
"You''re still young, so just focus on your studies. Once you get into a good college, I promise you''ll
get to see the boss."
"Really?" Yvonne was excited. "Great! I''ll work my hardest!"
Just then, someone banged on the door.
"Open the door right now! I know you''re in there! Don''t make me burn your house down!"
