Chapter 158: Waiting for a lead

Corvus and Mika were sitting alone by the table in the corner of a roadside inn during a morning rush.

Both of them had only ordered some tea but had the guts to occupy a whole table by themselves when other potentially more profitable patrons had to wait...

...which has earned them more than a few annoyed glares from the staff whenever they'd pass by.

"Tsk...! Where did that woman go? It's been over thirty minutes! Maybe she was deceiving us from the start and want to get me in even bigger trouble?!"

Corvus was nervously tapping his foot while looking all over the inn in search of the missing third member of their small group.

But alas, Ti, who left the two almost immediately after they were seated by the table, was nowhere in sight.

"Corvus, isn't she just waiting for the other two to show up?"
