Chapter 187

— I don't have that many people. The informant wasn't an important figure; we just wanted to rob him.

— And now he wants to rob us! What's next? Will someone decide to attack us, and I'll only find out when they're standing outside the walls of this castle?!

Watching the argument between Sergey and Leonid, the triumvirs remained silent.

— Alright, — Alexander stroked the tree next to him, — I think we should stop worrying. This is not dangerous for us.

— I'll send three scouts to the city, and soon we'll know who this scum is!

— Sergey, you'll send one scout to the city. Let him stay there for a couple of days.

— One?

The knight looked up at the sky but only saw the branches of the trees.

— Think, don't act on emotions. What will three scouts do in the city? Search for an informant who's only of interest to us because he has money we can take?

The head of intelligence blushed.

— When you put it that way...

— And I won't put it any other way. We need to know who this is, but right now it's not important. The bishop's blood and the mage's are far more important. The mage has storm spells, after all, while this informant only has extensive connections in the criminal world.

— But it's impossible to get close to them! The protection is so heavy! — the vampire raised his hands to the sky in frustration.

— Then focus your strength on overcoming that, not on searching for the informant! Although I want to know who this… — Alexander coughed, — I want to know who this unpleasant person is!

— I understand already. No need to repeat!

— Then the meeting is at midnight; for now, let's disperse.

A few minutes later, where the heated discussion had taken place, only Konstantin remained, thoughtfully chewing on a blade of grass. Coming back to his senses and noticing that no one was around, he spat on the ground and threw away the blade of grass he had been playing with.

— Something tells me that this informant is not as simple as it seems, — the triumvir said to the empty space and, not lingering, went off to finish other tasks before the meeting.

Gennady looked very pleased; on the table in front of him lay a tree branch for some reason. The cheerful man even hummed a melody to himself. And it was understandable. The business he had organized was profitable, and the vampires' treasury was receiving regular infusions. Soon, they could start talking about the full return on all projects. And start new ones! What more could a businessman want for a good mood?

Alexander stood up and cleared his throat, drawing attention and demanding silence.

— Let's review the preliminary results in each area and share our plans for the future. We need to understand what we have before we take ownership of the barony.

Everyone present smiled. Less than a year ago, they had arrived in this world with nothing but their hands and heads. Now they were firmly on their feet and confident about the future. Why not boast a little about their achievements?

— Let's start with finances, — the triumvir indicated Oksana sitting to his left, — and then go clockwise, if you don't mind.

The treasurer stood up.

— I don't have much to say. The treasury is full after today's infusions...
