Thrown Into Madness - Lord of the Mysteries

Back Stabbed By Two Knives

Seeing that Hader stopped breathing, Dager stood up straight and looked to his sister.

He was planning on coming to help her since she was not the fighting type.

But, seeing her kicking one of the muscular men in the crotch while they laid on the floor coughing and sneezing, he cleverly gave up on the idea.

He stretched himself and pulled out the daggers and throwing knifes stuck in Hader's body.

Thanks to the Ice Curse, there was almost no blood coming out of Hader whatsoever.

Towards the end of the battle, he strangely felt his potion digest, although he didn't really understand why.

As he cleaned the blades, he saw one muscly guy in the bar standing up.

It was the man who almost punched him while holding him by the collar.

His face was still slightly red, but also not really.

"That was quite a quick one, didn't even take ya half a minute to finish it."

The man's name was Shake.

He was the boss of an underground market.

He and Dager were drinking buddies.

They got close after Shake began owning Dager his life.

During his usual patrol around the alleys, Dager noticed a particularly suspicious group of guys.

In order to digest his hunter potion, he chose to tail them.

While doing so, he discovered that they were in hold of two guns.

This fact made Dager much more alarmed.

Soon, the four men entered a pub, which, in his knowledge, was also an entrance into the underground market.

He was there before, and he even sold some things Juny gave him to make connections.

Dager didn't have trouble pursuing the squad.

They seemed to have bribed quite a few of the men inside.

Dager saw the entire scene as he followed closely behind them.

After some time, a man that covered himself from head to toe came to the four men and brought them to a backdoor of the boss's hut.

Everything in Dager's brain clicked at that moment.

Remembering Juny's warning about not being reckless and acting on impulse, Dager fell into a dilemma.

But he soon came up with an idea.

Taking out a folded paper, he infused it with spirituality.

The paper shone with red light, but the strange symbol didn't disappear.

'Why didn't I do this immediately...'

Feeling disheartened, he stuffed the paper into his pocket and walked into the hut using the front entrance.

The hut had a few people inside.

Upon entering the boss's hut, a one on one purchases could be made.

This was in order to ensure secrecy.

But that was as far as a normal customer could go.

Looking at the people standing in front of different closed rooms, Dager walked as far inside as he could without raising suspicion.

He started eyeing the two bodyguards standing by the door.

There didn't seem anything strange about them, but Dager could instinctively tell.
