Thrown Into Madness - Lord of the Mysteries

Death

It the wide place filled with different carriages and cargos, the sound of dripping water into a puddle could be heard.

But it was unbelievably vague through the loud conversations.

Kaiso, an older man in his 30's took a gulp out of his jug, laughing roughly through the large place.

"Today's loot is a real catch! Kekeke~ I can't wait for the fat reward."

His words received loud acknowledgment from the surrounding crowd.

The Black Snake was a loose branch of the Snake Boys, quite well known for acting alone and doing as they wanted.

They were a branch in name only, not really thinking of themselves as the underdogs of the Snake Boys.

It was no surprise that the boss of such branch would be just much of a loose cannon as the branch itself.

The humorous mood spread before it was suddenly interrupted.

"Excuse me?"

Everyone quieted down at the timid and awkward voice coming from the entrance.

Their faces showed confusion and bewilderment.

In front of the closed metal door, which would definitely screech loudly if one were to open or close it, stood two well-dressed girls.

The one who just spoke was a young lady with short brown hair put up into a styled bob and brown eyes.

She wore light yellow dress with small golden embroidery on the sleeves and chest.

It was very simple, but still overly noble dress.

The girl wore an anxious and slightly scared expression as she looked up at the boss.

Behind her was a slightly taller woman with long light-brown hair and emerald green eyes.

She kept silent as she eyed those present, her face also looked timid, but her gaze strangely sharp.

Kaiso blinked twice before placing the jug down and leaning closer to the two girls.

He scanned them, then looked at the group of confused men around him, and then scanned the girls again.

His bewilderment twisted to amusement and exasperation.

"Heh, how did you get in here? You lost?"

Kaiso stood up, strolling closer to the two women.

Roselyn exhaled.

"We entered, uh. I think you took something which belonged to us, we've come to have it returned."

Roselyn gestured to the door behind her before looking at the surrounding carriages.

Kaiso tilted his head at Roselyn's strange words.

"Yours? You from Shake's group...? Nah, kek. You don't look like his type."

Kaiso stopped right before Roselyn, leaning to her eye level and licking his lips.

"If you really want, I can give you something you'll like."

A burst of laughter came from behind him, strengthening Kaiso's confidence.

Roselyn flinched, looking Kaiso in the eyes before quickly glancing away.

"No, you stole the cargo of the Baroness Mailey. If you return that, we'll have no more business here."

Kaiso snorted, pulling a knife from his side.

"Hah! What would a Baroness's business be doing on Shake's track? What you're saying is bunch of made up stuff. It'd do you much more good to keep your mouth shut and open your legs instead."
