108 Trouble (2/2)

”Don't give me that bullshit!” I want an answer to my question, not her trying to recover her pride.

”Hah!” She sighs and leans back on her throne as she answers, ”I don't get to know when something like that happens, not by myself. The reason I knew his request was because he sent a letter to this place in which he requested my help and was praying to me, accepting me as god.”

”Well, if that was all it took to make you help him, you are a rather easy woman.” I mock her, or try to. She takes it a bit too seriously though it seems as her eyes grow a bloodlust in them.

”Be thankful that I have a need for you right now and that we have some past connections, or I would have ripped your heart out and put it on display by now.”

”…” Despite having many retorts in my mind, I decide not to say anything as angering isn't really the smartest move. While I would love to see her suffer, I have no intention of getting myself killed over something like this.

”Now get lost!” Dues yells.

Well, that's that. Now I need to get to finding Roswaisa as Grey, as per my request, would be out looking for Cartel.

Nighttime – from what I know – is considered the perfect time for crime among the people of Earth. The many crimes that take place during night disgust me to even think about them, but the one I am concerned about at present is the shipping of drugs.

As of right now, I am hiding at a safe distance from the docks with the Chief of Staff I kidnapped somewhere in the distance and tied up nicely. I am keeping an eye on the docks and the people gathered on it. We are both waiting for one thing – for the drug shipment to arrive. However, our intentions are completely different.

Back when Dues sent me here, I was about to head out myself. She wanted me to save Cartel and so I did. I wanted to find out about this drug and so I did that too. It happened to be luck that the two things were connected. But anyway, now that I am here and free from Dues' job, I can focus on what's going on here.

The reason I have gotten interested in stopping this drug shipment is because I have heard that it is a new kind of drug and it can give a person the power of an Angel or a Demon. Obviously, I can't ignore such a thing.

And so, as I see the shipment arrive, I get ready to move closer.
