11 Amanda (1/2)

The officer looked back and replied ”Last evening the captain never came back home, but we saw him leave. See that beautiful lady in the corner, she is the captain's daughter. She came this morning to ask us where the Captain was. She just learned he was supposed to come home last night.”

Dorian looked in the direction the officer pointed and saw a red haired young beautiful woman was sitting there, fidgeting from nervousness.

As if she felt his gaze, she looked their way and locked eyes with Dorian. She looked into his cold, indifferent eyes and lowered her head in fright.

Dorian looked back at the officer and asked ”Where is Charles' wife?”

The officer looked a little offended by the way Dorian called his captain, but still replied ”She must be at their house.”

Dorian said ”I'll go see her. I suggest you not to declare openly Charles as missing, you will push more people in the Red Scorpion Gang's hands. But add his wife to the suspect list.”

The officer frowned and said ”I don't receive orders from a hairless brat.” Dorian's face frosted and he released his killing aura onto the officer, who stepped back.

Dorian said ”I remember Charles saying that apart from his office, one was owned by the chief, and the other by another Captain. Where are they, I haven't seen them since I arrived.”

This time, the officer didn't play cocky and replied with a hurried voice and wide opened eyes ”The chief spends his day at the City Lord's mansion, and Captain Aymeri was assassinated right before your arrival.”

Dorian frowned, scarring the officer, and asked ”Why hasn't anyone replaced him?” The officer hurriedly replied ”His position is said to be cursed, the two last Captains died within a week once they became Captains. So no one wants to take the position.”

Dorian retracted his killing aura and said ”Did Charles have any enemies among the officers?” The officer shook his head hurriedly and said ”The only people who could wish for the Captain's harm is the gang.”

Dorian nodded and turned toward the red haired girl. She was about the same age as him but looked innocent, as if she was still a rose untouched by the world.

Dorian sighed inwardly, he had only spent five days in Dreamland and he had already started changing so much.

He walked next to her and said ”Hello, I am a friend of your father. I want to help you find him, and for that I need to come to your home. Can you lead me there?”

The girl said ”I don't know you. I never saw you with my dad, who are you?” Dorian replied ”I go by the name of Boring Guy, some call me the Butcher, but my real name is Dorian.”

The girl's eyes opened wide as she said ”You are the Butcher?!” Dorian nodded, and the girl got up saying ”My dad talked about you. Can I see your face?”

Dorian, who had the veil on, said ”No. Lead me to your house miss.” The girl pouted and said ”Fine. And call me Amanda, Miss sounds weird.”

Dorian nodded and said no more. Amanda walked out of the station, Dorian in her footsteps.

As the two walked in the street, Dorian looked around for any sign. If Charles really walked back home last night, they must have used the same path, so Charles must have disappeared on this path.

But Dorian couldn't get much. Despite being so early in the morning, some people had already gotten up and were on the streets. Although they weren't filled with people, the amount of people was enough to erase any footsteps from last night, and Dorian wasn't an expert in tracking so he couldn't use footsteps.

He couldn't find any trace of blood though, and if by the time they reach his home he still doesn't find any then Charles must have either been overpowered by someone much more powerful who knocked him out too quickly, walked out on his own or simply didn't come back using this path.

As they walked, both Amanda and Dorian kept silent. Amanda had a bored face and looked at Dorian, as if she wanted to say something, but as she saw him look around carefully she kept quiet.

As for Dorian, he was in middle of searching around when he suddenly felt danger. Through the past few days of survival and killing, Dorian developed a sixth sense for danger, and currently he was feeling a great danger coming toward him.
