[401-600] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 462 - Reactions

The commotion in the red light district gathered the attention of countless people. It even piqued the attention of those influential people.

A lot of people escaped from the district and some of the empire's guards took them. They found out that these people were adventurers and the Bentley Family kidnapped them.

The empire's guards had no choice but to force themselves inside the red light district when they heard about it.

Also, the Adventurers Guild was furious about this incident. A noble family was kidnapping a bunch of their people and tortured them to the point that they just wanted to die. So the guild masters of the four branches of Adventurers Guild in Eternal Empire mobilize the adventurers in this country and issued a request to watch the people of the Bentley Family.

They weren't going to attack first as the guild masters were going to talk to the head of the Bentley Family. Also, they needed to talk to the Security Bureau of this country.

Lumilia and Lynn went to the palace as Princess Alea called them. The two of them received the request from the Adventurers Guild and they felt that Bryan's disappearance was related to this case.

When they arrived in the royal palace, Alea's butler greeted them.

"Princess Alea is waiting for you..."

The butler said as he bowed his head to the two and lead them towards the room where Alea is.

Lumilia glanced at the butler. She knew that this butler was a liquefied realm expert. He was not a simple butler at all considering the level of his strength.

They arrived in front of the room and the butler opened the door. Lumilia and Lynn entered the room to see Alea sitting on a chair with a serious expression.

Alea smiled when she saw the two. "Good to see you two." She said as she leaned her back on her chair.

Lumilia and Lynn thanked her and they sat down on a seat in front of Alea. They didn't say anything and just waited for the princess to start the conversation.

After a while, Alea sighed and she slowly opened her mouth.

"You are both registered adventurers so I'm sure that you've heard about the things that happened in the red light district one hour ago." She said.

"Yes... The guild issued a quest to guard the Bentley Family territory and watch their movements." Lumilia paused as she looked at the door before she continued, "I think that it will not be long before the guild ordered the adventurers to subdue the Bentley Family. The guild masters are really furious this time as more than a hundred adventurers were tortured in the underground of the red light district."

Yeah, hundreds of adventurers who were thought dead were still alive. The guild could accept it if they simply died while trying to explore dungeons or completing difficult quests but they were captured and tortured. They became a battery of the whole red light district. Their energy was the ones that keeping that district alive. That's why the guild couldn't accept it.

If the branch guild masters could solve this problem then they would contact the main guild in the Nivari Kingdom, the country of adventurers.

"The captives aren't only adventurers. Some of them are missing people of this country and we never thought that the Bentley Family is the one behind those kidnappings." Alea sighed as she closed her eyes. A moment after she opened her eyes and looked at Lumilia in the eyes, "and I think that this is connected to Bryan's disappearance. No, this is connected to his crime and disappearance. If we investigated this matter we will know the truth."

"The moment I heard about the things in the red light district, I already realized that the Bentley Family is the one manipulating the past incidents behind the scene. The girl called Mina disappeared that night when the incident in the detention center occurred. According to the information, that girl is a prostitute and she had a huge debt."
