Chapter 172: More Trouble (1/2)

The large group quickly separated after reaching the town, with the mercenaries going to their camp at the western entrance and the members of the Hei Corps going to two places. A majority of them went to the Town center while a small number of them went to the safe house instead.

Lin Mu first dropped off the beast corpses in a warehouse for the mercenaries. Hei Bao had shown them this warehouse and had told the mercenaries to use it for the time being.

”We will prepare the corpses and give you your share brother Lin Mu.” Hong Luo spoke in a grateful tone.

”It's fine. But what are you going to do with the corpses now? Are you going to take them to Wu Lim city?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Yes, we will be seeding a caravan that will be transporting the beast corpses to the northern town. This is a rather large amount so we should be fine for a while.” Hong Luo answered and took a pause.

”Besides, we need to contact or companions in the other parts as well. If what we learned about the culprits is true, then we need to know what's happening to the other mercenaries as well. We had already sent a messenger to the headquarters, but Leader Teng has decided to head there personally.” Hong Luo continued.

”How long would it take for him to reach the headquarters? It's in Xiangwei city, right?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Yes, the headquarters of most of the mercenary companies are in that city. Leader Teng is going to rush there, so he should be there in about four days at the very least. He's also going to inform the other companies as well and gather some information from them as well.” Hong Luo answered.

”I see…” Lin Mu muttered while nodding.

He then turned around and left the warehouse. His next destination was the town center. He was told to come there after dropping off the beast corpses and meet up with Hei Wan. Fifteen minutes later, he reached there and stood in front of the large building.

Lin Mu could see the rest of the guards standing around along with the reinforcements of the Hei corps. He took a look around before walking in through the entrance of the town center. This time he was not stopped by the guards as they recognized him and had already been informed of his status.

Lin Mu went up directly to the third floor, where the town head's office was. He opened the door and found Hei Bao sitting there along with Hei Wan. Hei Wen was reading a letter and had a pile of scrolls kept to the side on the desk.

Even though her face was covered with the Veil, Lin Mu could still sense the fatigue that she had. He could tell that she had been working hard for a while and was possibly quite tired. He came to the desk and pulled the chair to take a seat.

Lin Mu did not interrupt her and simply waited along with Hei Bao, who soon poured him a cup of tea from the teapot that was kept on a warmer at the side. Lin Mu took a sip from the cup and closed his eyes to wait.

Five minutes passed by and Hei Wan finally put down the letter she was reading from.

”Seems like our troubles are only getting worse. First Hei Yingjie and now this.” Hei Wan spoke in a frustrated tone.
