Chapter 87 - A Powerful Whale Is On The Hunt (2/2)

”Eh?” Hecathe's eyebrows creased together in confusion immediately as he heard this answer, ”What do you mean?”

”The guy wants us to find the person who spread the rumor and to further investigate if the rumor is true or not. If it was nothing more than a rumor then we provide the dead body of the person who spread the rumor and if it was indeed true then we hunt down Orgon and hand over his dead body.”

Hecathe didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry as he heard this.

This fish he was trying to catch was indeed a whale. Zather seemed to have been right.

Hecathe, the person who spread the rumor and who was also supposed to be the fake Orgon that had come back from the dead, feigned ignorance as he asked, ”And what if we can't find both?”

”Then our dead bodies get served,” Kelly had a thin smile on her face as she spoke with a threatening tone that indeed managed to make Hecathe feel a shiver run down his spine.

”So you took a mission from a lunatic?” Hecathe scoffed as he asked.

”A powerful lunatic and we were forced to take the mission,” Kelly corrected him as she informed, ”If we don't take the order, the guild burns down and we can't take a chance of that happening.”

It seemed that this whale was seriously powerful and Hecathe had indeed underestimated his enemy this time.

Hecathe let out a small chuckle as he nodded his head and spoke up after a minute of thinking, ”Then let's go and collect some dead bodies.”

Kelly looked to be a little surprised as she heard the man agreeing with no further questions or complaints.

However, she clearly didn't know that the two dead bodies that they were tasked to collect were supposed to belong to the same person and that person was none other than Hecathe himself.

If they couldn't find the fake Orgon nor found the one who spread the rumor then the dead body to be served would be theirs only and it was still Hecathe who was going to be targeted.

This mission wasn't just funny, it was the whole circus.

Hecathe could already guess that he was going to have the time of his life.

Kelly's lips curled up in a smile as she nodded her head and exclaimed, ”Great! I'm glad to see you being so disciplined.”

Hecathe smiled with a nod as he heard this and although the woman was certainly wrong about him being disciplined, he clearly didn't want to correct her.

”Then you can start working on this mission right away,” Kelly opened her desk and took out a folder before throwing it forward on her table as she instructed, ”The origin of the rumor can be traced back to all these places but since we can't depend on the information given completely, I'll need you two to go and check them first.”

”You want me to go check them out personally?” Hecathe frowned as he asked and Kelly shook her head.

”I want you both to go and check personally,” Kelly corrected him as she spoke.

Hecathe chuckled dryly as he questioned, ”By you two, do you mean you want to see me working together with that Raven?”

Kelly nodded her head with a smile as she confirmed it, ”That's right. It would be faster if you two work together.”

Hecathe opened his mouth to say something but immediately close it as he had second thoughts.

He took the folder from the desk and opened it to take a look inside.

”As you can see, there is no way you would be able to do all that on your own,” Kelly spoke as she saw Hecathe's eyes widening in surprise as soon as he opened the folder and read the first page.

”This... Did you even try to cut it down?” Hecathe's eyebrows immediately creased together as he questioned the woman.

”Isn't that why you are here?” Kelly tilted her head as she asked, ”I'm asking you to help me cut down those leads. Most of them are probably fake but we can't dismiss them because we don't have proof. I want you to personally go to these places and find proof.”

Hecathe didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry as he quietly counted the number of pages that were kept inside this folder.

”All the best,” Kelly chuckled as she spoke up and Hecathe could almost feel as if this woman was being sarcastic.

There was no doubt about it, she was purposefully making Hecathe work harder.
