Chapter 8: Meeting under Cait
Cid was feeling very annoyed as he walked past several stores.
It had been nearly a week since he tried to remove a potential annoyance and test his new abilities. However, it ended in failure. Cid knew there was a margin of error of 0.1% for it not to go the way he expected, but for that to come into play on his first attempt.
Cid: “I must be the unluckiest person in the world. No matter. I will deal with that issue at a later date. For now, I need to meet up with her.” He mumbled to himself.
Cid was heading towards the tea house that Scarlett had told him to meet at. The location was relatively close to Mr Li's store. Only a ten to twenty minute walk to and from.
The location made him wonder if Scarlett had some sort of connection to the crime syndicate of this city. Any establishment so close to the red light district would make Cid question its affiliation. Especially one to hold a meeting with one of the most wanted criminals on the continent. The staff at this location would need to keep their lips sealed, or it would turn bad for Cid if the cops knew who he was associated with.
Eventually he would arrive at his destination. It was a quaint little tea house called the Cait House. The design of the store was simple and didn’t stand out. The only notable thing was a black cat logo in the front windows.
“What a weird place to meet.” He thought before he nonchalantly entered the store.
The inside was just as unremarkable as the outside. There were about a dozen tables and a serving counter with various baked goods behind a glass display. The walls of the establishment were covered with bookshelves and a few pieces of random artwork. Two waitresses behind the counter were busily brewing tea and packing away baked goods for a customer. There were a few other customers seated at some tables eating food while enjoying some of the tea this place offers.
