The potential huge rewards didn't make Kieran lose his cool.
Quite the contrary, Kieran was calmer than ever.
He knew very well that it was not an easy task to obtain huge benefits in the truest sense.
Whether it was on the same side or on the opposite side, it would require a lot of effort.
The former required a mission as a foundation to build up a good relationship with the target. In simple words, the target had to increase their friendship level to a high enough level to receive equipment and skills from the target.
The latter was a lot easier to execute, but it required sufficient strength and manpower to kill the target. In layman's terms, the target would drop their equipment and skills.
Kieran, on the other hand, was still far away from the steps mentioned above.
He had to deal with the danger before him first before anything else.
Following the heavy punch wind, the target's fist was inches away from Kieran.
Facing such a powerful punch, Kieran, who didn't want to break his bones and tendons, didn't take it head-on.
Master Level [Evading] and E- Rank Evading allowed Kieran to move nimbly like a nimble cat, dodging the first punch lightly.
"Huh?"
The target was surprised that Kieran could dodge his punch.
Although he was surprised, his opponent's second punch followed closely behind.
Fuuu!
This punch was even heavier and heavier than the previous one.
His speed was also a little faster.
Almost instantaneously, he appeared in front of Kieran. Kieran couldn't rely on his nimble footsteps and light body to dodge like before.
Facing the heavier punch from the target, Kieran was sure that if the punch landed, it wouldn't just be a simple concussion. His skull would be deformed.
If his skull was deformed, he wouldn't be able to survive.
Even his digitized body couldn't do that.
After all, the head and heart were considered as vital points.
Without a second thought, Kieran exerted strength from his waist, his upper body leaning backward while his legs stood firm.
The fist brushed past Kieran's face, bringing with it a gust of wind that messed up Kieran's hair.
Kieran felt his face heat up, and then there was the feeling of liquid flowing down.
In addition to that stinging pain, the skin on his face had been scratched by the wind from the opponent's fist.
However, Kieran did not pay too much attention to it.
Because the opponent's third attack had arrived!
The straight fist turned into a heavy elbow, like a smashing iron awl, stabbing towards Kieran's lower abdomen.
Kieran, who was maintaining the iron bridge and had nowhere to borrow strength from, instantly fell into an incomparably dangerous situation.
Between life and death, Kieran lifted his leg and stomped.
Bang!
Kieran's feet, which were planted firmly on the ground, seemed to be equipped with springs as he 'stepped' on his opponent's calf. Before his opponent's attack could touch his lower abdomen, Kieran quickly retreated.
However, it was an extremely clumsy retreat.
The moment Kieran lifted his leg, his whole body lost its balance. Although he used the force to retreat, it would be more accurate to say that he used the force to roll backwards.
The box containing the [Viper-M1] fell to the side.
Kieran rolled backwards, and his opponent relentlessly chased after him.
Likewise, Kieran would not sit still and wait for his death.
As he rolled backwards, the [M1905] and the dagger appeared in his hands.
"Stop!"
At that moment, Sister Mony, who was not far away, finally saw that it was Kieran. She stopped both of them from continuing the fight.
Guntherson and Kieran, who were ready to fire at Kieran, stopped their attacks after Sister Mony shouted at them.
However, both of them looked at each other cautiously.
"Detective Kieran, I need an explanation!"
Sister Mony looked at Kieran and unconsciously frowned, but her tone and gaze were still gentle.
Kieran smiled bitterly at Sister Mony's question, which could not even be considered an interrogation.
Sister Mony's gentle question was far more difficult for Kieran to deal with than the fierce one.
"When I was talking to you, Sister Mony, I realized that you were hiding something.
So, I pretended to leave and snuck back to investigate! "
Kieran said honestly with the same bitter smile.
"It's my fault!
You are the best detective in the city, how could you not notice the loopholes in my words?
I'm sorry, Guntherson thought you were someone else, that's why he attacked you! "
Sister Mony sighed and apologized to Kieran.
"Sister Mony, I should be the one apologizing!"
The bitter smile on Kieran's face got even thicker.
He would rather have another fight with Guntherson than face Sister Mony's gentle and remorseful face.
After all, it wasn't the other party's fault!
It was not her fault that she had not told him the truth.
Other than your parents, no one had the obligation to tell you everything you wanted to know.
Kieran had known this for a long time.
As for his subsequent infiltration, although it was reasonable, it could not be justified in principle.
In fact, after he had snuck in, he was the one at fault.
Kieran understood that and would not deny it.
Therefore, the situation before him made Kieran feel very awkward.
"Detective Kieran, you are a kind person!
Tilly is Guntherson's student, he should know more!
"I wanted to tell you tomorrow, but it's better if Guntherson says it himself!"
Guntherson, please tell Detective Kieran everything you know about Tilly. This is my request! "
Sister Mony looked at Kieran with a gentle gaze and then turned to Guntherson.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Guntherson placed his right index finger on his chest and lowered his body along with his head.
It was an ancient etiquette.
The way he addressed Sister Mony was the beginning of this ancient etiquette.
Kieran looked at Guntherson and Sister Mony.
He thought of how Sister Mony had addressed Guntherson when she was agitated. "My Guardian Knight!"
Now, Guntherson had officially addressed Sister Mony as "Your Highness".
Kieran was not stupid.
From the way they addressed Kieran, he could tell that they were not simple people.
Guntherson did not care about what Kieran was thinking.
After bowing to Sister Mony, the tall, strong old man told Kieran everything he knew about Altilly Hunter.
"Tilly accidentally found the most secluded corner of the school. She had a curiosity that surpassed her peers. After she found this place, she kept exploring and discovered my secret.
At the same time, I also realized that Tilly had quite the talent.
I took advantage of the situation and promised to teach Tilly some things she couldn't learn in school, and she helped me keep my secret. "
Guntherson smiled when he said that.
It was the smile of an elder facing the pranks of a younger generation.
"This has been going on for four years. I taught her all the basics and some advanced knowledge. A week ago, she brought an injured man to me. I think he was a stranger. Coincidentally, Tilly saved him. He stayed with me for a night and then left. Tilly was worried and followed him.
Tilly's disappearance must have something to do with this stranger.
But don't worry, Tilly will be fine. "
Guntherson was very confident.
It was not only to prove Altilly's strength, but it was also to teach himself.
"Accidents can happen at any time!"
Guntherson, tell Detective Kieran what you know about the injured stranger.
Our priority is to find Tilly as soon as possible! "
Sister Mony sighed softly.
The nun was worried about her student.
"That guy had a scar on his face. It started between his eyebrows and went all the way to the left corner of his mouth. It was very easy to recognize.
His hands were thick, and he had quite the fighting skills.
He was wounded on his back. If he hadn't dodged in time, his kidney would have been pierced. The attacker was a veteran! "
Guntherson told Kieran about the injured stranger.
His words were clear and organized. It was obvious that the incident from a week ago was still fresh in his memory.
"Are these all right?"
Sister Mony looked at Kieran.
"It's enough!"
Kieran nodded.
In fact, just the first point that Guntherson had told him was enough for Kieran.
A person with a scar on his face was bound to leave a deep impression.
Not to mention the other two points.
As long as he could get John's help, Kieran was confident that he could find Tilly in the shortest time possible.
"Then I'll leave Tilly in your hands!"
Sister Mony bowed slightly to express her gratitude to Kieran.
"I took Hunter's deposit. As a detective, this is my job!"
Kieran quickly stepped aside and explained with a smile.
Now that he had gotten some useful information, it was only logical that Kieran would leave.
However, Kieran did not forget that he had to complete the Sub Mission as soon as possible.
According to the information he had gotten, Sister Mony must have a Sub Mission on her.
More importantly, if he could complete the Sub Mission on Sister Mony, he would be able to befriend Guntherson.
Kieran's memory of Guntherson's strength was still fresh in his mind.
Especially that kind of continuous, fast punching. It was definitely not just because of his strong physique. It must be some kind of special technique.
If it was possible, Kieran wanted to learn that technique from Guntherson.
Of course, helping a respectable person like Sister Mony was something Kieran was happy to do.
So after a short pause, Kieran continued.
"Sister Moni, I overheard your conversation with Captain Reed. I'm very sorry, I apologize for that!"
You seem to be in some trouble. If you don't mind, I think I can help.
