Chapter 59: Finding Cassian (4)
"You know where my brother is??" Inna impulsively stepped forward after hearing what the average-looking man had to say about Cassian. Before she could get any closer to the unknown man who had interrupted their conversation unpromptedly, Orson had stopped her from moving nearer by blocking her path as he came to stand in front of her.
"First of all, you’re not allowed to come in here since everyone else is restricted from stepping into this building." Orson uttered strictly to the man, his eyes stern. "This house is placed under tight security and your mistrustful actions could lead you into becoming one of the suspects. Who are you??"
"The name is Geoffrey." He quickly introduced with his head bowed. "I am not here to hurt anyone, nor do I have any evil intentions against either of you, but I do have information that could lead you to the young man you’re desperately trying to find."
Geoffrey understood their suspicions and he didn’t blame them for it, neither could he even if he wanted to. He had shown up out of the blue which was enough to make them raise their alarm, but he was only here to repay the gratitude the young lad had shown him by sparing his life, and to the extent of giving him the money and another chance to escape from those night creatures?
He won’t be able to leave peacefully with himself knowing he sat back and did nothing to help the man who saved him.
"I know where he is." He determinedly looked up to meet Orson’s skeptical gaze. The tone of his voice remained genuine, and he sounded like he knew exactly what he was talking about.
"How do you..."
"W_wait... did...did you say Geoffrey?" Inna hesitantly questioned the bald-headed man who nodded in response to her word. "Yes, Milady."
"By Geoffrey, I mean the bladesmith my brother went to visit in the lower East quarters? Are you a bladesmith??" She asked, hope gleaming in her eyes, and Geoffrey nodded once again.
