Capítulo 473: Investigation (Part 3)

"But you know, the mercenary market is a mixed bag. All sorts of people, some not so friendly. One wrong move and you're in trouble," Ernesto continued.

Amalia asked, "Have you made enemies?"

"Of course," Ernesto replied with a smirk, as if offending others was an honor, "Gathering information sometimes means hitting a nerve. If it weren't for Yolanda Yoder and Grandpa Florentino, I'd have been dead a h undred times over."

Amalia didn't really buy into Ernesto's words.

Thankfully, her aunt had mentioned something similar before, or else solely based on this, Amalia would have definitely been suspicious of him.
