Chapter 23 Face so Thick it Pushed me One Kilometer Away

A few days earlier at the city lord's residence.

Hans arrived at the entrance and was permitted entry by the other guards. They were familiar with him as he was one of the city lord's lap dogs. He entered and made his way to the study room and opened a secret door with stairs leading to a basement.

Having been here many times, he walked downwards in a calm manner. After a while, he reached a hallway filled with locked doors on each side. Whimpers and silent cries of children could be heard from inside the doors. He got used to this scenario and headed straight to the door at the end of the hallway and knocked.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in,"

A lewd-sounding male voice came from the inside, it sounded like someone who was doing obscene things. Hans slowly opened the door, the room was dimly lit by lamps and candles along with a strong smell of perfume. There was not much inside, only tables filled with fruits, food and wine. The most eye-catching was the large bed at the middle carved with exquisite designs and obviously made from expensive materials. Only shadows could be seen inside the bed due to the silhouette curtains.

The shadows were shaped like a fat man sitting while two smaller shadows were beside him. The fat shadow even sounded like he was enjoying the pleasures of life.

"How did it go?" A voice came from the shadow.

"My lord, the merchant alliance said they will not loan anymore unless you pay at least half of what you owe them,"

Hans spoke truthfully.

"Damn them all! Who do they think they are? Damn this wretched place and damn that old fogey who exiled me just because of a little mistake! Fuck! I'll take what's rightfully mine one day make them all pay."

The man inside the bed was furious and strangled one of the small shadows out of anger. The other shadow started to whimper and slowly distanced itself.

"Shut up!"

Pak!

A loud resounding slap was heard and a naked little girl around the aged of eight fell down from the bed. Hans, on the other hand, watched with indifferent eyes, he was used to this kind of situations.

"Hans, dispose of them all and make sure not to leave any evidence. We are leaving with that bastard Batista's family and head to Red Sparrow city. Although I don't have to leave, I have some business to attend there so might as well go and make this as an excuse to the old man."

He commanded and threw out the other little girl on the floor but she was not already breathing.

"As you command my lord, by the way, the little boy you commanded to the mines came back and he was even pardoned under Captain Batista's name,"

"Tsk! Who cares about those flies? You want me to spend my time dealing with those shit? Prioritize our preparation to leave and go inform my son, I trust you know what to do right?"

He felt more irritated when Batista interfered with his business.

"Yes my lord, I'll prepare everything."

Hans acknowledged and went out the door.

"Just you wait you brainless brawn, you have always been a thorn in my side, always interfering with my business. I'll have my chance one day, just you wait."

The fat shadow mumbled while he filled a cup with wine.

.....

There were three military headquarters of the Carson Kingdom lead by three generals supported by their colonels and other subordinates. General Jakolito Lapid was one of them and he was the commander of Major Wilky and the others.
