Karles who was depressed, Mark who was comforting him, even Rachel who was in a daze looked at Kieran at the same time after hearing what Kieran said.
Everyone's expression made Kieran heave a breath of relief even though he was worried in his heart.
Ever since Darde told him that Broker and the guardians of the Witch's Legacy were fighting openly and covertly, Kieran paid extra attention to the guardians.
But at the same time, Kieran also knew that the number of players who could come in contact with the guardians of the Witch's Legacy would be very few in number.
Just like Darde the Titan.
As one of the ten Supernovas under the Witch, it was only because he had his eyes on Broker that he knew about the guardians. Before this, he had never even heard of the so-called guardians of the Witch's Legacy.
Kieran was very sure about that.
It wasn't because he was confident in his interrogation techniques but because he had some understanding of Darde's patience.
Darde the Titan was as rumored, brutal and bloodthirsty but that was only to outsiders. Against himself, Darde the Titan wasn't as powerful as he looked.
Maybe it was because of the repulsion from the secret spell.
Or maybe it was because of other reasons but in the end, Kieran didn't get any more information about the guardians of the Witch's Legacy.
Fortunately, judging from the reaction of the crowd before him, he was about to get something.
However, out of Kieran's expectation, what followed was Karles and Mark's hostility.
It wasn't the test anymore but the hostility with killing intent.
On top of that, both of them seemed to be sitting still but their muscles were tightened under their clothes, as if they were cheetahs ready to strike at any moment.
Kieran raised a brow and turned to Rachel beside him.
Karles and Mark's overly nervous behavior was out of Kieran's expectation but Kieran didn't care.
Or rather, in the small hall before him, the only person that could catch Kieran's attention was Rachel.
As for the others?
If they dared to make a move, he would crush them to death.
As a matter of fact, if it wasn't for Rachel, Kieran would have made his move the moment Karles and Mark showed their hostility.
But even so, Kieran was only waiting for Rachel's explanation.
"Hey, guys, relax!"
"Those who come to my place are my friends. There are no spies, no secret agents, and no assassins. Do you understand?"
Rachel stood up and spoke to Karles and Mark. She then turned to Kieran and said with a sincere tone, "There's a misunderstanding here."
"Yes."
"I know."
"So, I'm listening to your explanation."
Kieran said.
But the more he acted like this, the more Rachel's head hurt.
After several meetings and conversations with Kieran, it was enough for Rachel to understand Kieran's contradictory and dangerous character.
When there was no conflict, Kieran was very peaceful and kind.
When someone showed hostility, Kieran's coldness and viciousness would make the person doubt their life.
Rachel knew Kieran was waiting for her answer.
If there wasn't a suitable answer, she would be ready to watch a big battle.
More importantly, there was a ticking time bomb outside.
If that bastard knew that Kieran was in danger here, he would absolutely, 100% explode. Then, she could collect Karles and Mark's bodies.
A bastard's friend would only be a bastard!
Rachel felt the sulfuric stench coming out from Kieran's body. She cursed in her heart but she had to take a deep breath and explain.
"We had a little conflict with the guardians of the Witch's Legacy.
"The things that that woman left behind are too tempting. At first, everyone's level was still low, so we were still restraining ourselves. But as our strength increased, our ambitions naturally emerged. But before there was any clear information, everyone was still restraining themselves, until one of us discovered a clue."
Ever since that guy knew about the woman, he was passionate about collecting everything about the woman. Then, he started to be obsessed with everything about the woman. "
"Because of that guy, the tip of the iceberg of the Witch's Legacy was revealed."
"A lot of us joined in and it was only natural that we ran into the guardians of the Witch's Legacy."
"We fought a few times in the dark and both sides won and lost, that's why Karles and Mark were so nervous."
Rachel explained in detail.
Kieran nodded without saying anything.
He agreed with what she said.
Any player in the big city wouldn't be indifferent towards the Witch's Legacy, Kieran was no exception.
Just like what Rachel said, as his strength increased, his ambitions rose without him knowing.
Of course!
More importantly, it was about that bastard Broker.
"Do you guys know about the fight between Broker and the guardians of the Witch's Legacy?"
Kieran asked directly.
"I know a little but not the details."
"Our battle has been noticed by that bastard Broker. Naturally, that bastard wouldn't let go of such an opportunity. When we were fighting the guardians, that bastard was prepared to reap the benefits more than once."
"In the end, we and the guardians fought a few rounds with that bastard, causing him to suffer heavy losses."
Whenever Broker was mentioned, Rachel clenched her teeth in hatred.
Even though she killed a few of Broker's powerful men, it didn't make her feel comfortable.
"Is that so?"
Kieran was in deep thought.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Rachel but against an enemy like Broker, no matter how careful he was, he couldn't be too careful.
He couldn't be sure whether Broker really wanted it or if he was just putting on an act.
After learning his lesson once, Kieran didn't want to fall into Broker's trap again.
So, even if what Rachel said was the truth, Kieran would still collect more information.
Then, Kieran shifted the topic back to the guardians.
"What kind of organization is the Guardians?"
Kieran asked.
"I don't know.
Other than being sure those bastards are players, I can't be sure about anything else. Their strangeness trumps their strength.
If you want to search for the Witch's Legacy, we can do it together. "
Rachel shook her head, her tone sounded heavy but she quickly extended an invitation to Kieran.
"It's fine.
I'm used to being alone. "
Kieran said before he looked at Wu, who went silent again.
"Draw again?
Just as casual as before? "
Kieran asked.
"Em."
Wu nodded.
"Not even looking for an excuse, changing the topic right away?
You are as clumsy as a certain bastard. "
Rachel complained but her eyes were glued to Kieran. Kieran picked up the third card on the left side.
When the card was flipped over, Rachel's breath skipped a beat.
Crow!
It was still a crow!
But it wasn't black!
It was …
Golden!
