Chapter 268: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 71
"Lead the way," Kayn gladly accepted. Of course, he decided to leave a note to the bartender for Maria to know his whereabouts.
Noticing Kayn leaving, the bearded man quickly approached him and asked where he is going.
Taking this opportunity to advertise himself, Kayn didn't hesitate to reveal that he'll be selling more information about what he just told them to the other branch of this tavern using the same excuse that he intends on making everyone prepare for the worst.
Hearing this, the bearded man instantly felt delighted. "We'll come to you later to ask for more information. Would that be okay?"
"This time, you'll have to pay, though," Kayn informs.
"We understand and it doesn't matter how much it would cost,"
"Rest assured, I won't price it so much as I am dedicated to my cause,"
"We'll help you as well,"
The bearded man bid farewell and watches Kayn leaving the tavern.
Kayn followed one of the waiters of the tavern as he lead him to their other branch just a few blocks away from the headquarters.
Instead of going to the front door, he was taken to the backdoor which has a hidden door connected to a hallway that has a bunch of rooms where people sell information.
"You've been assigned room 7. The bartender in charge of this place will inform you if ever there is anyone interested in knowing what information you are selling,"
"How would they know what information I am selling?" Kayn was curious as he hadn't mentioned to any of them what he told the men of the Forest Bandit Guild.
"We already heard,"
"That was fast," Kayn became cautious.
"We have a lot of people inside the tavern. One of them was eavesdropping on your conversation, that is why,"
"I see," Kayn finally realized that he wasn't the only one paying attention to the people inside the tavern a while ago. Next time, he'll make sure that there is no one else eavesdropping nearby in case it might ruin his plan.
"So, expect a lot of people to visit you as your information is very valuable," The waiter walked out of the door. But before leaving, he reminded, "And danger, too,"
"Thanks for the heads up," Kayn muttered before walking to room seven and sitting on one of the chairs inside.
"I know you have thought of everything before deciding to do this. But, once you're discovered, you'll have no other choice but to go in hiding and your plan with the Undead Apple will be temporarily put on hold," Natas felt worried.
"Not really," Kayn waves his hand, immediately taking out a bunch of snacks from his Storage Ring.
Seeing this, Natas instantly understood what Kayn intended to do. If his memory serves him correctly, the latter had added Undead Apple to all of those snacks.
"The best place to serve food without the people caring about its ingredients is in the tavern," Kayn arranged the snacks on the side to make them look presentable. "This will also be a perfect hiding spot for future operations,"
Nobody would suspect that the number one wanted person of the Assembly of Freedom would be hiding inside the tavern close to their territory. Just the shady nature of taverns, especially the one in the Freedom City, is the perfect cover-up for everything that he intends on doing.
It didn't take long for Kayn's first customer to knock on his door.
"Come in," Kayn calmly uttered.
The door of the room opened as the bartender led two men inside. Afterward, he quickly left.
"And you two are?" Kayn initiated.
"I am Abram, the Guild Leader of the Forest Bandit Guild,"
"And I am Gustavo, the Guild Leader of the Spiderweb Guild,"
"It seems like you two immediately came here the moment you heard from your subordinates the information I gave to them for free," Kayn can already guess what happened. He motioned his hand for the two guests to take a seat and make themselves comfortable.
"That's right,"
Abram sat on one of the chairs before Gustavo followed.
"Do you want some snacks?" Kayn pointed at the snacks he had prepared by the side.
"I'll take that dumpling,"
"I want the fishball,"
"Alright," Kayn stood up and served Abram and Gustavo their order before returning back to his seat and proceeding with the main matter. "So, what do you want to know?"
"Everything,"
"That's unfortunate," Kayn pointed at the sign behind him. "Each client can only ask three questions per day, that's the rule. It doesn't matter how much you pay, because I am not the one who establish this tavern and I don't wish to go against it,"
"We understand," Abram nodded. "Since there are two of us here, that means six questions, right?"
"Yes,"
"Alright, my first question is…"
After receiving the answer to their six questions, Abram and Gostavo didn't waste any time as they left the room with a satisfied look on their faces. It was very apparent that they got what they came to know from Kayn.
Not long after Abram and Gostavo left, the bartender led another guest to Kayn's room.
In the same manner as the previous guests, Kayn answered three following questions from the second guest.
Then the next client came, followed by another, and another. Eventually, a soft knock sounded.
"Maria?" Kayn can already guess who it was.
"Yes," Maria announced.
"Come on in," Kayn immediately welcomed Maria.
The instant Maria came in, she immediately blasted the tablet to the side with her telekinesis. Her face was fuming in anger.
Bang!
The door closes, which instantly activated the isolation spell installed inside.
"I reminded you over and over again not to leave, and the instant I took my eyes off you, you immediately disappeared!" Maria uttered angrily. "Do you know how worried I was?"
"I apologize, but I have my reasons,"
"No need to tell me because I already know!" Maria stared intensely at Kayn before eventually letting out a sigh and sitting on the chair beside her. "The Guild Leader of both the Forest Bandit Guild and Spiderweb Guild retracted their request for alliance not long after they left the penthouse,"
"It was so sudden, but when I discovered you were gone, I immediately know that you were involved with it,"
"Was it so obvious?" Kayn chuckled.
"Luckily, this time, no one suspected anything and they all believe that it was the personal choice of the two Guild Leaders," Maria smiled. "Albeit, the two Guild Leaders weren't as lucky as they met their unfortunate deaths not long after they left the Freedom City,"
