86 Quest Complete (1/2)
”Let me go f*ckers!” the guy who presents himself as one of the loansharks immediately got beaten to a pulp by Hyde as we capture and interrogate him and the noble-looking guy for information.
”I can cut off your tongue if you keep on screaming you bastard, I mean it and I never give out jokes of any kind,” Hyde glared at him and pulls out a knife from his pocket.
Lina's mother is confused when she saw Hyde. ”Why are you here Hyde? I thought your lackey is going to ask for payment for our debts which is your business but why are you beating him up?”
”Ah, that is not true because your so-called debt is nonexistent. Your husband might have died a long time ago but he didn't even leave behind a debt to you two to suffer and pay for his stead. The ”debt” this guy is saying is quite a bogus. It was already paid before he passed away.”
Lina frowned and pulls out her whip again and ready to whack the bogus guy but Hyde stopped her.
”You can do whatever you want with him later but I need him to be energetic for now to be able to extract info about a personal matter.”
”I won't say anything!”
”Hoho? Are you sure about that? We will see how you will fare later. But I will save you for the last,” Hyde said before he shifted his attention to the noble-looking guy.
”Are you going to interrogate him too?” I asked Hyde.
”This guy is one of the corrupt nobles I have contact with before. He is quite greedy when it comes to money and he will do whatever it takes to squeeze money to individuals. If he was involved, this case might not be the only one but countless others too. This means someone is behind this for him to personally do a lowly work like scamming people with fake debts. Much worse, they are trying to frame my humble sideline business.”
I can understand his sentiments but is there someone out there gonna do something of an elaborate work like this just to frame his business and stain his reputation? In the end, Hyde called his lackeys and carried the two somewhere away from there. He also ordered his men to dispose of the bodies of the adventurers and report it to the guild to make a catalog of the names of the fallen adventurers for their family to claim.
”The situation is now back to normal and I see that you are also quite good in sneaky fighting. Not that I am judging you in it since I also did it earlier,” Hyde said.
”You really deserved to be a called one of the strongest mercenaries in the Capital. Those swings are precise and decisive. Dealing with enemies is easily done by you.”
