Llyne Town Underworld

Chapter 35 Llyne Town Underworld

*Dak* *Dak* *Dak*

I woke up at night hearing a small knock from outside. Because of the training I received in the special forces, I had sharp hearing and eyesight. I changed my clothes and moved as slowly as i could and blended into the darkness. I slowly peeked out and saw someone in black trying to open the front door of Le Réseau, because the key I installed was different from the key used here, he could not make it through the door. He then tried to enter through the window.

Seeing that, I deliberately made the window lock a little easier to open, after waiting for about 10 minutes, the person managed to get into Le Réseau. I kept watching this guy's movements and hadn't noticed my presence in the dark. From the structure of his body I can see that this guy is a man, he checks all the places in the shop and looks for something.

It seems like he didn't find what he was looking for in here and continued his search upstairs. First he entered the room that was used by the employees to change their clothes, after checking that room he proceeded to my room. There he saw the safe that I used to keep some money and medicine.

Seeing the situation in my room and he realized there was no one in bed, he tried to open my safe. Due to the limited knowledge of people here about the safe lock, he was unable to open it and tried to carry it. He just realized that the safe couldn't move because I planted it with bolts to the floor, there was no tool that could be used to loosen up the bolts because the technology in this world had not yet reached there.

He gave up and chose to look elsewhere in this room. He checked the wardrobe, the mattress and the drawers. In there I left 2 packs of medicine left over from today's sale, he took that two packages and went downstairs.

'It seems like he was trying to steal the medicine, whether he was ordered by someone else or not I had to find out.' I followed him downstairs, before leaving he took 2 bottles of perfume and opened it. Looks like it was his first time opened a perfume bottle, because it was dark and he opened it by force, I saw he spilled a bit of vanilla perfume into his clothes when he opened it. He took the perfume and went out through the window like when he entered before.

I continued to follow him, I could follow him easily because of the smell of vanilla perfume that was shed on his clothes.

That man walked towards the slum area and entered into a place that looked like a tavern.

"Scarhead, it looks like you got a lot of money tonight. I can smell expensive perfume from your clothes, how much do you get?"

"Old Finger, I only took a few souvenirs when I carried out the mission from Boss Snake. Do you want to buy it? I gave you the price of 100 silver coins."

"50 silver coins, Scarhead. You can't sell them at a high price, you won't find a buyer."

"It's too cheap, I risked my life to get it. 90 silver coins."

"Risking life my arse! You left here 40 minutes ago and now you're back. If you really risked your life, you won't come back right away. 60 silver coins."

"Old Finger, let's look for the midpoint, 80 silver coins."

"75 silver coins, if you don't want it it doesn't matter. You can find other buyers who want to buy it."

"Alright, alright. 75 silver coins." He handed over the perfume he brought to some old man.

"It's nice to do business with you, you can meet Boss Snake now."

I keep watching him, in this tavern I mingle with the people here. I followed him walking to the back of the tavern, where I saw a pretty dark courtyard. The only light from the lantern illuminates a building's door across this courtyard, I made use of the darkness there to enter the building. I could easily enter inside through the window because of it's simple lock, I saw the man meet a man with long hair who was sitting counting money. There are some people who looked like guards inside this building, but they are too relaxed so I can approach them easily.

"Boss, I only got two packs of medicine there. I think all the medicines and money in that store are keep inside a metal box, I tried to open that box and it didn't work. That was the first time I saw a very strange safe box and I didn't understand how to open it."

"Looks like Scarhead's skill has diminished, you can't open the lock anymore. Are you became stupid because of some woman?"

"Boss, my skill is still very good. It's just that the safe is very strange, I've never seen a safebox with lock like that. Even the rich people in this town only use lock that are a little bit more complicated but I can still open it, while this safe box doesn't have any keyhole but some rotated thing with numbers around it. I really don't understand."

"Then you can bring some people and bring the safe here, we can open it later."

"Boss, one more problem. That safe can't be lifted because it's embedded on the floor with a big iron nail, i think the store owner paid a blacksmith to plant it there."

Hearing the explanation from him, the boss began to get angry and throw some coins at him. "Can't you think of another way?! If you can get that medicine, I can sell it at a high price." "Give this medicine to the client and ask for a full payment, even though he asks for more than ten packs, I don't care how you have to bring the full payment."

"Alright boss." The man left and I was still there to watch over the boss.

The boss then drinks some liquor and then shouts to the person outside.

"What's wrong boss?" someone entered inside.

"Has the other people who look for the medicine elsewhere still not returned?"

"Not yet boss, only Scarhead has returned." Hearing that the boss enrage, cursing and drink more liquor.

'It seems I can take advantage of this situation.' I went out and returned to Le Réseau to quickly take medicine and buy something from the internet and return to that place.

"Stop! Who are you? I never saw your face." I entered through the front door and was stopped by someone who was standing guard there.

"Brother, my name is Jack, a new person under Scarhead. I just came back from a shop that sells medicine, I brought the medicine that Snake boss is looking for and some expensive drinks from there for him." I showed him the medicine I brought.

"Hurry up and meet boss, he is very angry because your work is very slow." I entered the Boss's room.
