Chapter 1391.2
MacGuff's hometown was near Lyndis.
He had come to the Rowane Kingdom to earn money, ultimately dispatched to Heins Territory with Davey O'Rowane.
Willow and Rinne quickly pinpointed the location of the loan sharks suspected of kidnapping MacGuff’s son and murdering his brother, MacGuffen.
Rinne had already caused chaos while searching for them, not needing to work very hard to find such a notorious criminal network.
They approached the Gelup Merchant Group in Verdarium Territory. It was a huge organization, especially large among the loan shark companies within Lyndis, with its leader operating dozens of massive gambling halls. Its foundation was solid, with connections even to the Lyndis Imperial Family, but its reputation was rotten.
Clearly, they did absolutely anything as long as there was money to be made. They even kidnapped and sold people into slavery. All sorts of rumors went around.
For Willow, the Gelup Merchant Group was a literal den of demons.
“So this is it.” Sighing, she walked toward the enormous gambling hall, accompanied by Rinne. She treaded softly by her side with her usual expressionless face while munching on a chicken skewer. The robe covering her head hid her identity, but her height, which hadn't grown despite her heart evolving, made her look like a child.
Surprisingly, Darian was strapped to her back. Back at Heins, Darian, who had been sound asleep, somehow sensed Willow was about to leave and wailed as if the world was ending, so they’d been left with no choice but to bring him along.
“Phew. Nice. I always wanted to try something like this. It’s a very film noir vibe.”
Willow tried to put on a pair of sunglasses, looking all serious, but Rinne leapt up and confiscated them. “Rinne states attire as highly suspicious. Rinne analyzes drawing attention as not advisable.”
“...You don't get it,” she grumbled, but Rinne wasn't wrong. There was no benefit to drawing unwanted attention. She sarcastically added, “Then I guess you'll have to show me what's considered proper.”
