Chapter 306 - Lost Goods (1) (2/2)

”Passed this message to him. If he decided to wait until tomorrow, then it is his turn to look for me, and maybe everything will not go as smoothly as today.” Auron smiled.

The same guard went inside the house once again. Once again, He interrupted the conversation and whispered to the old man's ears. Hearing the message, the old man frowned. Then, he left his message to the guard and continued his conversation with the guest.

The guard exited the house and invited Auron in. The old man was greedy. So, when Auron told him that he could find the lost goods, his money thought conquered his mind. He had been significantly compensated, and if he could retrieve his lost goods, then he would have a double profit. That was why he decided to invite Auron in.

The guard knocked the door once again and went inside with Auron behind him. Auron went inside the house and looked at the old man.

The old man introduced Auron to the guest, ”Come in! Come in! Let me introduce you. This is someone I hired to look for the lost goods.”

Auron looked at the guest, and he was surprised. It was Trito. Hearing that Auron was a tracker, Trito frowned for a brief before he went back to his amicable appearance.

”Oh, hello. What a surprise! Are you a capable tracker?” Trito asked Auron.

Auron answered, ”I don't know whether I am considered capable or not since I only handle five cases so far. However, from those five cases, all the missing things were found.”

”Oh, only five cases so far. I thought you were an expert that had already handled more than hundreds of cases.” Trito said to Auron mockingly.

Auron shrugged his shoulder, ”Well, even for an expert, he must have been through five cases. There is no harm to try. After all, you only pay me when the lost goods are found.”

Trito faced went dark. He stood up and said to the old man, ”It looks like you have a more important matter right now. Let us continue our conversation next time.”

”You don't need to see me out,” Trito added.

When he walked passed Auron, he looked at Auron and warned him, ”You better be careful to not poke a hornet's nest.”

Then, Trito exited the house. Auron felt confused with Trito and asked the old man, ”Why did he threaten me?”

The old man laughed and said to Auron, ”Don't mind him. It was already his nature when someone talked back to him impolitely.”

”Forget about him. Now, let us talk about our business. Do you really can find my lost goods?”
