Somewhere in Eastshire…
“What's taking it so long?” Zack Kerr, Langston’s father, asked the people who were seated in the meeting room. “I believe I sent you all enough funds to hire Mercenaries as well as Bounty Hunters. How come that boy’s grandparents have still not been captured?”
“We don’t know,” a Noble replied. “We have hired the best mercenaries, but all of them returned empty-handed. Some of them even attacked our middlemen and took them somewhere.”
“The Viscount who hired Pale Veil is still missing. After his disappearance, his eldest son took over the affairs of his territory. The Palace has also asked the Magistratus to investigate. But even with their help, they could not find any traces of that Viscount.”
Zack clicked his tongue because he didn’t expect that a mission so simple was still not completed even now.
It could only mean one thing.
