Chapter 173 - 172. Learning New Things (2)
The night air was quite chilly but I guess it didn’t affect me or my companion too much, we walked down the street passing by those who were returning to their homes.
"It’s midnight," Roan reminded me and I hummed.
We were currently heading over to a place where I’d get clues about the real culprit. It wasn’t a good thing to make conclusions based on conjectures but, I had learned to trust my instincts more than my brain.
I was a strategist but it wasn’t hard for me to change style and try something impulsive if my gut gave me a sign of danger.
After all, the sixth sense was superior than our occasional misleading thoughts.
We crossed the street and entered the alleyway, the dark and winding paths went on and on like spiderweb before I stopped in front of a tavern that was nestled between the cheap prices inns.
"You remember what I told you, right?" I asked.
"Yes, I won’t make any unnecessary movements, nor will I react to anything unless it’s a danger for you." He repeated the brief words of warning that I had given to him before leaving Ryujin mansion.
"Good, let’s go inside."
The tavern despite the sparse populace outside was a contrasting picture. It was thriving with people playing music, chattering, laughing and drinking. The barmaids tittered around in revealing uniforms attending to the wild crowd while taking their share of tips from the drunk customers.
"It’s quite lively." Roan mumbled.
