57 – Old Acquaintance #2
Women dressed in heavy makeup and dizzyingly bold clothing quickly surrounded me and approached me.
They clung to me with coquettish smiles.
“Oppa, aren’t you too handsome? I have never seen such a handsome person while working.”
“People who look like this come to Changgwan. Oh my, look at the muscle on my forearm. Are you an adventurer?”
“Oh my, this one. Men are all the same. Even a handsome gentleman has some unspeakable hobbies.”
At the words of a woman, the women around her burst into laughter.
In the meantime, at the hands trying to touch my body here and there, I shook my shoulders and lightly shook them off.
“Sorry, I’m here to find someone.”
Then the woman with her red hair and her breastbone boldly exposed said with a soft smile in her eyes. She was the woman who made the women around her laugh a moment ago.
“All the gentlemen who come here say that. What kind of woman are you looking for? Do you prefer a mature and sophisticated woman to a gentleman?”
Her red-haired woman smiled seductively, emphasizing her own ample breasts. But when I didn’t seem interested, she grabbed the other woman next to her by the shoulder and introduced her to me.
“Or do you prefer a small and petite type of woman? Or is it an innocent and delicate woman like an aristocrat? Don’t be shy and tell me. Even if it’s a taste that I can’t tell others, my kids can match it.”
“… ….”
From noble mtl dot com
I’d rather fight the Demon King’s army.
“Stop.”
I shook my head resolutely.
“Where is Sylvia?”
“Huh? Sylvia… ? I’m sorry, gentleman, but there’s no kid with that name here.”
“No, there will be.”
The women all shut up at my confident tone.
Their expressions had changed from looking at a customer they liked to one of surprise and wariness towards the stranger.
The red-haired woman opened her mouth with a much colder gaze than before.
“… Gentleman. She doesn’t know where she heard that name, but it’s a name you shouldn’t say. If another guest had mentioned that name, she would have called the security right away, but since the gentleman is handsome, I’m giving her another chance. If she admits she’s wrong now, she’ll treat you like a guest. If not….”
“You heard it right.”
I answered in a calm tone.
“Please call Sylvia.”
“Haa….”
Her red-haired woman brushed her bangs over her and she let out a deep sigh.
“Brothers? Here’s a gentleman looking for her sister. Take care of me.”
At those words, the men guarding the Changgwan area immediately rushed around me.
They didn’t carry weapons in their hands, but they seemed to be former soldiers or mercenaries, judging from their sturdy physique, thick arm muscles, and familiarity with people.
About ten such men surrounded me.
Among them, a man with a tattoo on his shoulder spoke as a representative.
“What are you doing looking for your sister?”
“I have a business, so I will find it.”
I answered the man’s short words in short words, and then the atmosphere around me became even more threatening.
They glared at me with bloody eyes as if they would just drown a person in it, but I ignored their gaze casually and answered indifferently.
“Tell me that Ion Graham is here.”
“Sister doesn’t meet anyone. Just turn it off Unless you want to fall behind.”
“… ….”
It’s going to be difficult.
It wasn’t difficult to subdue them all here, but I had already swung my fists enough to get here. And considering the purpose of coming here, it was not desirable to act too radically in this place.
That’s why, instead of swinging his fists, he quietly crossed his arms and let out a thick murder.
And then he opened his mouth in a cold tone.
“You will regret it.”
“Hup!”
The air around me became heavy as the flesh I exhaled became thicker than the menacing atmosphere they exuded.
Some of the men’s breath stopped and their bodies stiffened with tension. They looked at me with fearful eyes.
After a tense confrontation in heavy silence, the tattooed man spoke as if he couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Okay! Got it. Let’s talk to my sister first.”
“Hmm….”
As soon as I took my life, the men who were gathered gasped for breath.
The tattooed man, who clicked his tongue as he looked at his subordinates, went inside the window.
After a while, the person who came out of the building was not a tattooed man, but a petite girl with brown hair in braids and a face full of freckles.
With an innocent smile that didn’t go well with Changgwan, the freckled girl lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed politely.
“Sylvia said she would meet. I will show you to your room.”
I gave a small nod, and the shocked eyes of those around me, including the red-haired woman, turned to me.
The inside of the Changgwan following the girl was very noisy with alcohol, music, laughter and chatter between men and women.
Even though the environment was not suitable for a young girl to stay, the girl who guided me seemed casual as if she was already familiar with the scenery of such a window.
I deliberately followed the girl to the place I was guided to without looking at the surrounding scenery. After walking through a long hallway and stairs, we arrived at a very luxurious and luxurious bedroom located on the top floor of the building.
Looking at the large bed, enough space for five people to lie down and roll around, it was easy to guess what purpose this room was used for.
I looked back at the girl with a gaze asking if this is the right place, and the freckled girl replied with a slightly anticipatory look in her eyes and a smile full of laughter.
“He told me to wait here. Then, sir, I will step back.”
When I didn’t respond, the girl gave me a slightly disappointed look, then she turned around with a bright smile as if nothing had happened.
I spoke to the girl’s back as she left the room.
“Sylvia, how long will you be like that?”
At my words, the girl’s body came to a halt as she exited her room.
Finally, when the girl turned her back, she had a fatal, alluring smile that did not match her freckled country girl face.
“Did you know everything?”
The expression of the country girl with an innocent smile disappeared before she knew it.
In its place was the owner of this street, once a member of the Imperial Intelligence Service, a skilled assassin who once sought my life, and now nicknamed the Queen of the Underworld.
“Since when did you know? Ugh, no. Since it’s you, Ion, you must have known it from the beginning. I wanted to see a surprised expression, but it still doesn’t change.”
She asked herself a question and then answered herself, and Sylvia sat up on the bed with a playful face, retaining her freckled girl’s disguise.
There was no sofa or chair to sit on in this large room, so I leaned my back against the wall and answered in a nonchalant tone.
“You are still playful too.”
“I just checked. Seeing that you recognized my disguise at once, you must be Ion.”
“Did you doubt me?”
“Sure. Do you know my condition well? You should be more careful in this location. Disguising as a familiar figure and taking them by surprise is the assassination technique I am best at.”
Sylvia sat on her bed, tucking one leg to her chest and smiling seductively.
“It’s always amazing. How the hell do you recognize my disguise?”
I was surprised by the excessively startled reaction of those around her when she first revealed herself, how she didn’t hear her footsteps when she walked, like her assassin, and the subtle and subtle Instead of citing a unique habit, he just answered nonchalantly.
“By persimmon.”
“Really? That feeling is still there.”
Sylvia narrowed her eyes and giggled.
“There’s no way you came to see me without anything to see…” Do you have something to ask for?
I nodded slightly.
“Don’t ask why, just find someone.”
“People? Who?”
I pondered for a moment. Is it the right choice to tell Sylvia about Ella?
However, whether it was through her introducing her informant or talking directly to Sylvia, the fact that I was looking for Ella would somehow reach her ears. Because Sylvia was the powerhouse of this underworld.
At last I told Ella’s demographics. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, that she left the village 20 years ago with a group of mercenaries, and that she said she was going to the Isles before leaving, but that she may have actually headed for the Ionian Kingdom.
Then Sylvia couldn’t hide her interesting expression and let out a meaningful laugh.
“Are you looking for a girl? Uhm, who is it? Could it be that Hyeongseong had a first love?”
“I would have told you not to ask why.”
“… Oh my, i’m scared I’m really scared, so can you stop looking at me like that?”
Sylvia let out a faint laugh and shook her head, showing disapproval.
“Twenty years ago, even the Ionian kingdom… You know that there is nothing left of the land, right?”
“There is no one to entrust to you but you. Is it impossible?”
“It’s not impossible, but….”
“Okay then. I’ll give you as much money as you want.”
Sylvia lowered her head and shut her mouth for a moment.
And after she thought deeply, she carefully brought her words out.
“The money is enough, then will you do me one favor?”
What favor now? Very sus, Sylvia 🤣🤨
