Chapter 445: Making some noise! (1/2)

The two boys continued to go around the settlement, and Kyle continued to pay no attention to those around him. It wasn't that no one had the answer, but most of the people had no clue who Kyle was talking about.

The main reason being, the girls were only there for such a short amount of time. A lot of the people there preferred to mind their own business and had no such interaction with the girls.

While they continued to ask, Harry was making note that they were starting to get a lot of attention and it was from the wrong type of people. He could see the guards stationed everywhere whispering and talking to each other while looking in their direction.

However, Harry didn't know whether this was really a good thing or not. Perhaps it would be a quicker way for them to find the girls.

”Yeah, I saw them.” A man finally replied.

'Really!” Kyle said, surprised that his plan had worked. He had been going around asking blindly and most of the people here were giving him the cold shoulder.

”The last time I saw them, they were bothering the man that used to live there.” He pointed.

”Used to?” Kyle replied.

”He's out of here. He requested to leave and I saw them take him away not too long ago.”

Stomping his foot on the ground out of frustration, it looked as if their one and only lead had disappeared. The man they were talking to just seconds ago eyes widened, and he had suddenly gone back to his room.

”What was up with him?” Kyle thought.

When the two boys turned around, they were greeted by a few of the guards with a nice smile. Harry knew something like this would happen sooner or later. All they could do now was go along with the flow.

”We saw that you two young boys looked quite strong.' The guard said.

”That we are.” Kyle replied with a smug smile.

The guards were thinking this was all too easy. They were right about their initial thoughts.

”You see, the research centre is looking for some strong people for a new test they're about to do. While you're here, you will need to do a test once in a while. So you might as well get it over and done with now.” The guard said. ”I heard there are also some extra rewards as well for completing this one. I just thought I should give you two a heads up, let you know before they post it on the bulletin board over there.”

To Harry's surprise, after telling them this little bit of information the two guards walked away without saying anything else.

”Well what do you think?” Kyle asked.

”About what?” Harry replied.

”About what they were talking about. Do you think it's a trap? Maybe they did the same thing to the two girls before. Come on, you must have noticed everyone looking at us when we were asking about the girls. This place is extremely fishy. Like fish left out in the open air on a summer day fishy.���

”I thought you were meant to be the master white knight. I thought you would have at least noticed this much.”

Harry was stunned, absolutely stunned. Of course he knew that, he just wasn't aware that the whole time Kyle knew that as well.

'I guess there was a reason why he was chosen to replace Monk as the black sash master knight after all.' Harry thought.

”There's nothing else we can do, we have no leads. It's the only thing we have.” Harry replied.

It was decided, the two of them would venture into the research lab. When they had entered the facility, it appeared as if some of the guards recognised them. For as soon as they had entered, a few of them started whispering to each other.

They tried to be discreet about it, but for trained knights such as Harry and Kyle, it was easy for them to spot. When they eventually turned up at the desk, the person behind the counter had given them a different list compared to the others.

Usually the list would have different clinical trials one could do. But this one had only one option on it.

”Unfortunately all the slots for the other trials are filled up now, but we were told beforehand that someone offered you a more practical one. So we left these last two spots for yourselves.” The pretty girl behind the desk said. She had a sweet smile behind her face.

Harry felt disgusted, that they would use such an innocent looking person to fool people. 'Things like this don't actually work, do they?'

However, once again he was proven wrong as his partner was blushing with a red face.
