Chapter 408 - King Dante

Chapter 408 - King Dante

"So soon?" Liam bolted to sit up straight and stare at the message.

Since Rey's life was on the line, he knew that the two sisters would definitely try their best but he did not expect that their best would be so impressive.

Liam paused for a moment, thought about his current situation, and then typed his reply. "I am on my way right now to Yleka city, if you are close by we can meet there."

"Ok, I will see you there." Mia quickly agreed.

Soon, Luna and Liam arrived at the city gates.

As the duo dived down to land, Liam hopped off his ride, and the huge fox effortlessly transformed into a harmless kitten like creature.

The two of them then hurriedly walked into the city almost as if they were running away from something which they were.

They did not wander anywhere and directly headed over to a local tavern and to a private booth on the upper floor of the tavern.

"Hey, I am here." Liam pushed open the door to find Mia sitting inside alone. The moment he saw her he knew that something was wrong.

The woman looked as beautiful as ever, calm, composed, and aloof.

In fact, she looked even more pure and angelic than her usual self which could only mean that she had also used the body cleansing solution.

But despite all of this, Liam could clearly see a hint of sadness in Mia's eyes. He had come here expecting good news or well at least some news, so what happened?

"What happened?" He asked calmly, sitting down in front of her, opposite to the side of the table she was on. "Did those two not spill out everything?"

Liam had the chance to listen to their conversation for a little while back at the graveyard so he already had some idea about their natures and characters.

The two were basically spineless cowards. It really shouldn't have taken a lot to break them? So what could have gone wrong?

"No, that's not it." Mia shook her head. "They actually… Alex only needed ten minutes with them and they told her everything."

"They folded in ten minutes?" Liam spat out the drink in his mouth in shock. That was way too fast! Just what did Alex do to them?

"Yes." Mia nodded. "We already have the information from them. We also know that it is one hundred percent true."

"How is that?"

"Alex had them sign the slave contracts." Mia took a sip from her drink and answered as a matter of fact.

Hearing this Liam once again spat out the drink in his mouth. "Slave contracts?" He asked again to confirm.

"Ummm. Yes." Mia nodded. There was faint blush in her cheeks as she did so because she herself realized the hypocrisy in her words.

The two of them had villanized Liam when he did the deed but now they were doing the same thing.

"He He." Liam grinned in amusement, unable to pass up the chance to tease the ice princess. Mia's cheeks became even redder, but she quickly cleared her throat and recovered.

"Like… Like I said, we got all the information but the thing is… it didn't lead anywhere. They don't know much about the soul healing potion."

"Hmmm…" Liam nodded. He expected as much. "What else did they tell?"

"The two are actually from one of the top guilds in the neighboring Kingdom, Sledge Hammer. They are officially not part of the guild."

"They were only recruited recently to spy on us. Paid them in cash irl for doing so." Mia explained.

"Sledge Hammer… hmmm…" Liam silently listened. He was indeed familiar with that name. It was one of the top guilds in his previous life time also.

Were they already popular enough for the top guilds to pay attention to?

"Go on." He nodded.

Mia shook her head. "That's it. That is literally all the information that we have."

"These two responded to the spies for hire notice and got recruited both for money and for the promise of soul healing potion."

"Of course, the guild only revealed the second reward for the more talented players."

"Eh? Are you sure they did not know anything else?"

"Yes, apparently the guild higher ups are very keen on keeping everything hush hush, under the wraps. Only very few people know about these soul healing potions."

Liam listened silently but he clearly did not look convinced. "Something doesn't add up. Did those two tell you anything about what the guild wants to find out from us?"

"Because if they are just two random spies why would they know the information about the soul healing potion. Just a monetary reward should be enough?"

"I think we are missing something."

Mia as well had the same doubt so she agreed with him.

"Is Alex with them right now? Can you ask them what they wanted to know from our guild?"

Mia nodded and opened her system interface to quickly send in the message.

And as soon as she did, within seconds, a reply popped up.

"They wanted to know about the details of the expert players in the guild, about you, about the spatial rift mission strategy, and about fire resistance potion."

"Ok." Liam mumbled but the next second, he suddenly realized a possibility. "About fire resistance potion?"

"Wait, can you ask who exactly recruited him?"

"Ok." Mia nodded and quickly sent another message. A second later, the reply for this one also chimed in. "Someone named Dante recruited him."

"Dante?" Liam's eyes widened in shock. This couldn't be a coincidence!

He was already extremely familiar with this name. In fact, everyone would be really soon.

This was Dante Russo, the Italian guy who would become the top alchemist in the entire world, also known as King Dante.

And he already had the recipe for the soul healing potion?

Now, everything made sense. Perhaps it was because of this potion that he managed to climb to the top of the ladder!
