Chapter 155 - 154. Something Sinister (4)
Rose wiped the tears that had gathered at the corners of her eyes before her gray orbs met mine.
"Sadly, enough, I couldn’t find anything worthwhile except for the gossip that I heard from the townsfolk."
I leaned ahead steepling my fingers together as I focused on her.
"They were discussing about the gang or some beast who roams the streets at night and takes away the homeless or any person whom it finds on the streets after midnight and that’s how a lot of people had disappeared not only from Hezborn but also from the neighbouring towns.

And once they are discovered they are gotten rid off by a separate team." She concluded and I inhaled and exhaled deeply picking up a few points from her report.
"They have a skilled sniper and also my people." I mumbled.
"If they would have taken me then, they would have brought me to the same place where the others are." She added making me turn my sharp gaze on her.
I saw her shiver before she avoided my eyes, "Please forgive me."
"If I had to send a bait then I have plenty of other people who can take care of that. You are the manager of my information guild so, make sure to do only the job given to you and not step out of your bounds and get yourself in danger. Am I clear?" I spoke coldly making her nod.
"Yes, I understand, Master."
"I’m letting this slide for now if you dared to do such a thing without reporting to me again then," I let my Dragon’s Presence whip around us making her tense up as I added, "I won’t be as forgiving."
