Chapter 16 - Into the wolf’s den Part 3

What Frederick took was a seal of approve from Urlan's company. This seal has Yerman's name on it thus allow him to utilize any part of the company in his disposal. Urlan's company will transport the mithrils that Yerman sold illegally and the profit will split between the two. It was a perfect operation, on the outside Urlan's company disguised itself as a legit goods transporting company but in reality they just deal in large numbers of mithril trafficking. Similar to this brothel, to outsiders this may simply be a place for men to relief themselves but it is really a illegal mithrils dealing house.

Another paper was a letter written to Yerman from Urlan about the mining operations. In it, they discussed all sort of deals they were doing.

"This will allow us to get rid of Yerman right?", Anna happily asked.

"Certainly, but if we were try to bring the ringleader down, Alex Von Urlan down, we need a bit more evidences."

"What else do we need?", Anna curiously asked.

"For Urlan to be unchecked while doing all of this, he must be in bed with the higher ups so these letters won't be any useful dealing with him. He probably will just brush it all off to Yerman and have him be the scapegoat. Hehe, but when the time comes I will naturally have the evidence to bring him down.", Edgar said while smiled in a villainous way.

"Then why do we need these for if it's useless?", Anna confusingly asked.

"You will see soon", Edgar replied.

(Hmph! You think you are so smart and all? Don't want to tell me? Fine then! I don't need to know!)

Unsatisfied with Edgar's answer, she pouted.

"Oh come on, don't be like that. When that time comes, I will share one my secret with you.", Edgar said it in a serious tone.

"O-ok, I am not really mad at you.", stuttering with a slight red on her face.

(He look really handsome when he is serious and not goofing around)

She thought to herself while smiling.

"..."

Frederick sensing something between the two also smiled.

"All right, that's it for today! Anna, let go to your father's place for the dinner."

"Yes milord!"

Anna didn't see her father much in these days working in the mansion. She misses him already. So she is happy that now she get the chance to see him.

(I wonder how's father doing?)

"Milord, we are currently being trailed.", Frederick warned Edgar.

"Hmph, how naive of them, I have Frederick prepared a second set of disguise for us in the restroom. Let us go."

Frederick and Edgar went to the men's while Anna went to the female's.

For a while, three spies were stalking the three. Seeing them went into the restrooms, they went into the open. But as time went on, Edgar and the others still wasn't leaving the restrooms and this is making the three spies starting to get impatient.

"Damnit, how long are they gonna be in there?, one spy said.

"Let go check inside", anther one said.

As they separately went into men's and women's restroom they soon realized that their targets aren't there anymore.

"Fuck! We got tricked!"

Realizing that they were found out by their targets, they immediately reported back to Yerman.

(Crush)

Yerman angrily threw a teacup to the floor.

"Find them! Find them at all costs!", he furiously demanded his servants to look for Edgar.

"What a bunch of useless trashes!", Yerman sit on a chair while still angry.

"Master please calm down, they couldn't possibly leave far this quick.", Vincent attempt to pacify his master.

"Vincent, sent the words, lock the whole town down! Give the excuse that my mansion was broke into by thieves.", Yerman now calmly instructed Vincent.

"Yes!"

What they doesn't know is that the people they are searching for wasn't in a hurry to leave the town.

Not bothered by the sudden commotion happening inside the town, the so-called thieves walk toward the town's inn.

"Let rest in here for tonight", Edgar said.

Anna was the first to walk in, eager to see her father.
