232 One Hell of a Lineup (1/2)

...…

”I am sorry to interrupt your meeting Town Mayor, but there is a guy waiting for you on the on the guest area. I can't refuse him since he has a quite special identity,” said Ribbit with some nervousness on his tone.

Shin frowned his brows when heard that. But from the tone of Ribbit alone, he somehow could tell that whoever that guy was, he might be a person with a special identity that even an NPC like Ribbit could recognize.

Shin looked at the others before shrugging his shoulders and standing up from his seat. ”Let me take a look who is first. You guys can discuss on how are we going to deal with our current problem.”

After that, he followed after Ribbit to take a look who was the person that was looking for him. And it didn't take them long to arrive at the guest area.

There, he saw a person covered an ash-grey cloak, that was currently checking out the portraits on the wall of the room. And when the hooded guy saw the duo of Shin and Ribbit walking towards him, he also walked towards them.

Shin didn't beat around the bush. ”I heard that you want to see me. Can I ask why?”

The hooded guy didn't immediately reply at Shin and just stood in front of the latter while also observing Shin at the same time.

Shin frowned his brows when he saw that, but before he was able to voice out his concern, the hooded guy finally opened his mouth to introduce himself. ”Hello, I am an agent from the Supreme Temple, and I am currently investigating the matter regarding the appearance of some Corrupted Cult members on the vicinity of the Holy City. Can I have your cooperation about this matter?”

'Supreme Temple? From what I know, that is one of the strongest Churches of the Righteous Function,' thought Shin to himself after hearing that name. Then he raised his brows and asked. ”What cooperation do you need from me?”

The hooded guy could hear that there was some displeasure on Shin's tone so that was why he immediately explained himself. ”Please don't misunderstand! My boss just ordered me to come here since he is currently hunting down the leader of the opposing side. As for why he ordered me to come here, hmm… how should I explain it?”

”Oh! Right! My boss has a special item that can detect some corrupted curses that was casted to a certain place or people, and that item lead us here. So, I just want to ask your cooperation to help us find the person or the place that is cursed.”

Then Shin suddenly become a little surprise at that and thought to himself. 'Huh? Now, this is an interesting matter. Did these guys detect the curse that Immortal casted on my body when I killed his clone?'

He looked at the hooded guy and asked. ”And what can I get in return?”

'Oh~!' Then Shin asked with some doubt on his tone. ”Can I ask why you want to do it for us? That offer sounds too good to be true.”

The hooded guy seemed to chuckle after hearing Shin's question and said. ”I know that it sounds a little bit suspicious. But believe it or not, we are really doing this out of good will.”

He paused for a moment to think about something before continuing. ”And as I said earlier, my boss is currently hunting down the leader of the opposing side's operation on this place. And we can also use our special item to locate the position of that leader.”

'Is this guy an idi*t? Spilling the beans just like that? Or is he confident that they can handle any kind of difficult situation,' Shin before asking carefully. ”Can I ask who you are? I can't just blindly trust what you just told me, right?”

'I want to make this quick and simple so that I can go back to farming, but from the looks of it, this guy is also not easy to deal with. Well, that is also understandable. He will not be a business partner of the Guild Leader of the Hand of Midas Trading Firm of he is too easy.' thought by the hooded guy to himself before taking off the hood of his cloak to show his face and basic information to Shin.
