Chapter 261 - The Ark Of Mavislins Instructions (1/2)

”Look, 'Risking' doesn't mean throwing away your lives. It means that there would be a danger of death, not that you have to dive straight into it. Figure out any other way to go about doing this, without putting your life on the line. That's the human way of solving things.”

”We aren't immortal, we are just a bunch of people trying to find the best way to solve problems without killing each other. Call it cowardly, but that who we are. Like it or not, you're working and dealing with human lives,” replied Bryan, looking at Ysabeau directly in the eye.

”I won't call it 'cowardly'. I'd call it, inconvenient, at best. But, he's got a point. If there are other humans around me, I can't guarantee their safety. If there's another way, we will tailor the mission to that. Now, Baron Tuazon, I need you to answer my questions,” instructed Mavislin.

”I'm all ears.”

”Alright, you claim to not know who has been running the two brothels. However, you had track records of them, right? What are the names that you can give that are related to the two areas?” asked Mavislin.

”I had track records, but they've stopped since three years ago. As for the people, only one remains. And that person is not even in the brothel anymore. He was in the Velvet Pearl but he wasn't the owner. He was a traveler who was a regular there. He settled down but far from the brothel.”

”How about the owners that were there three years ago? We can start finding things from there.”

”They've gone missing. In fact, their families are still finding their whereabouts.”

”How is it that people are going missing left right up down and you can be so nonchalant about it?” questioned Brayn, unable to comprehend how the wealthiest Domain had so many missing people.

”I like that new phrase. I shall use it next time. He has got a point, it is your job to be aware of at least know their whereabouts. Failing to do so might cripple the Domain. But going back, did the owners hand over to the next people? Or what came of it?” asked Mavislin.

”They did, but thee new people did not say their names or who were they from. At that time, they were silent for an entire year. When I sent people to check, it was reported that they were doing fine.”

”And when was the time you decided to check up on them? By sending yourself to see the operation?”
