Chapitre 243: The Establishment of Intelligence Bureau

The air gradually cooled after the moon rose. Sitting in the garden, Theo could see the little fire reflected in the windows of pubs, brothels, and casinos from a distance. The fire in the night was like the stars in the sky, showing the city's prosperity.

This was a scene that only could be seen from the inner city area of the king's city. Even after the end of the demonic plague, about one-third of the civilians died on the fringes of the city. Those deaths did not stop the nobles from drinking and merrymaking in the city center. If one listened carefully, one could even hear the soft cries floating in the breeze.

Theo bought the house with a garden and pool for 150 gold royals, located on a hillside near the edge of the inner city area, even though no one wandered here in the daytime. He typically did not stay here unless he was meeting an informant or exchanging intelligence. He would either spend the night at a hotel or stay in Covert Trumpeter for a few days.
