Anuka just looked at Charles for a while and sighed.
"Anything else you found in Freyton?"
She asked.
"Yes, your new partner hold power over that little city like no other, even I am not able to phantom how he got such control over this city"
Charles said.
"Care to explain?"
"Yes, every road, every shop, every nook and cranny of the city is under his watch, he can see everything that is going daily in Freyton, he had eyes and ears everywhere and the scariest of them all is his human pets"
"Human pets?"
"I don't know what should I call them, the whole city is filled with them, they all live independent lives with their family, eats and laughs with each other, have affair, are in love, are protectors, are protection seekers, are old, are young, but when the time comes they can accomplish everything, even I was not able to track down the mana stone that was to be delivered to your partner"
Anuka listened to Charles seriously.
She understood what Charles was saying, her new partner is a phantom who holds power that is unimaginable, thousands of people at his fingertips and no one knows how he looks.
If he wants he can fake a terrorist attack, he can bring down the whole government ruling that area, he can cause a company to go bankrupt.
The power to control a large number of normal people living their normal life is scary and Anuka understands this.
"Looks like we really underestimate humans, when I sat down and start thinking about what will happen when these weak creatures with such intelligence are being controlled by a single person who uses them at his will, what can he not do?"
Charles said and took in a cold breath.
"Indeed, we really don't know the extent of my new partner's power, how much power does he really hold and what is the extent of it, how was he able to gather so much power over this city that is filled with crimes?"
Anuka asked herself.
If she could do what Jason had done she might have control over the whole world and nobody will know about it, just like Jason's case.
"He holds so much power but still the big families and ruling parties in Freyton don't know who the real ruler of the city is"
Charles said.
"Indeed a very mysterious partner I have gotten, I cannot wait to meet him one day, who knows how we will meet"
Anuka said a chuckled.
Charles sighed seeing this, he never understood his lady, she was always mysterious from birth, she was more intelligent than children of her age, she was sometimes kind, sometimes cruel, sometimes cunning, and sometimes benevolent, it all depended on how she felt during the moment.
'I just hope this person is not someone similar to Lady or I don't know what will happen to this world'
Charles thought for himself.
"How about that human you met? did he tell anything?"
"Yes that young man named Derry, I don't know how I should put this, even though he came that day to meet me and talk for your new partner, I cannot tell if he really works under your partner"
"Why do you say that?"
Anuka asked in surprise, she thought she might be able to use this Derry to get to his boss but what Charles said confused her.
"This Derry looks very innocent but he also has a lot of influence, he works for every criminal in the city, any business transaction that is to be handled, hacking, breaching, intel about someone, all this is done by this young man called Derry, I investigate about this young man and found that he loves money and he would do anything if the price is to his satisfaction"
"So you are telling that my partner must have paid this Derry to come and talk to you?"
"Yes, seeing how every step is chosen carefully by Lone Wolf, I don't think he would send someone directly under him to do some biding"
"You are right, he could just be another pawn my partner may be using, looks like we have to wait until my partner feels comfortable"
Anuka said.
"I think that is the only way"
Charles also agreed with Anuka.
"Now that this is over, you have a work to do"
Anuka said.
"Bring back the Blue Silver"
Charles said.
"Yes, I have already negotiated with my partner, he will exchange the Blue Silver for Mana Stones, the war is about to start and Blue Silver will be more precious than anything, well I did pay a lot if I think about it, buts it's all for a better relationship with my partner"
Anuka said and handed over a key to Charles.
"Take all the Mana Stones form basement 3 and exchange it for the Blue Silver.
Anuka said and got up.
"I understand"
Charles nodded and escorted Anuka to her room.
