133 The Mystery Finally Starts Unraveling (1/2)

”So what are we going to do with this place?” She asks as she looks at an apartment complex of 1-bedroom flats.

”This is where she told us Cartel used to live in a few months ago. It's the only lead we have got on him.” I say, motioning to come inside with me.

”I am not sure if this even counts as a 'lead'.” She says and starts walking.

Well, I am not sure if this counts as a lead either but it's not like we have any other way to track him down.

”That was boring!” Roswaisa says as she stretches her back.

”Yeah, that definitely was.” I say as I do the same.

We just spent four hours taking to the people living in the apartment Cartel used to live in as well as the neighbors but we didn't get any new leads. All of them said the same thing everyone at that Remedy Corp. state office said when I interrogated them. Is there really no way we can find this guy?

”You said already check him current residence and there was nothing helpful? Now we have checked his old residence and it hasn't been helpful either.” She looks as irritated as one can be as she says, ”This guy is REALLY getting on my nerves now.”

I know how she feels. He is getting on my nerves too. My patience is running out and I am starting to think I should go and tell Dues to find him herself. Of course, I won't do that. No way am I letting her get an excuse to take any authority over Glice from me.

Wait!

”Cartel Hopkins killed Jerome Hawks a month ago, right?”

”Yes!”

I dismissed this as a coincidence earlier but what if it's not a coincidence.

”A month ago from today would be the day Dues became 'God'. It would also be the day Kaylith Glice and the Angel Trevor died. It would also be the day Priscina's AI disappeared forever and the day I inherited the throne of Glice.”

Roswaisa's eyes widen as she realizes what I have realized.

”It can't be.” She tries to deny but her expression clearly states that she is unable to. ”He wouldn't actually be-”

”I think he is.” I say. ”I think we should hurry to Glice.”

”Looks like Irium got into some trouble right after he left us.” Niviks says as he comes to me after talking with one of his informants.

”Did he now?” I say with a carefree attitude, ”It'll probably be find though.”

If he actually got into trouble that I didn't set up, then Dues would have set it up. And since that'd be the case, I am sure it'll be fine as she has no intention of killing Irium.

”Okay, some important information from earth has come too.” He says then.
