The possibility of dropping a Skill Book ignited the fire in Kieran's heart.
However, Kieran didn't forget his original goal.
He found a rope and tied the man to a chair. Then, he fetched a glass of cold water from the washroom and poured it on the man's face.
"Ugh, Ugh!"
The cold water woke the man up instantly.
However, the man's mouth was covered by the mask, so all he could do was whimper involuntarily.
The place he was in wasn't the deserted wilderness.
Kieran didn't want to get himself into trouble, so he was prepared.
The man widened his eyes and stared blankly at Kieran in front of him.
It seemed like the man still hadn't figured out why Kieran had made a move all of a sudden.
Kieran, of course, wouldn't explain it to the man.
"Who are your accomplices? Where are they? "
Kieran didn't beat around the bush. He picked up the dagger and pressed it against the man's left index finger. Instantly, the skin on the man's index finger was cut open. Then, Kieran used his other hand to pull the mask off the man's mouth. Kieran purposely left the man's hands free when he tied him up.
"Bastard …"
Before the man could curse, Kieran covered his mouth and cut off the man's index finger.
"Ugh!"
The pain of cutting off the man's finger made him whimper non-stop.
"Who are your accomplices?"
Kieran waited for the man's whimpers to stop before he pulled the mask off the man's mouth again. At the same time, he placed the dagger on the man's middle finger.
"But …"
Obviously, it wasn't the answer that Kieran was looking for. He repeated his actions again.
It seemed like Kieran was enraged by the man's continuous curses, so he cut off the man's left hand's remaining three fingers.
The man's body was twitching in pain, sweat pouring down his face.
However, Kieran did not intend to wait for the man's response. He placed the dagger on the man's right index finger.
After experiencing a personal interrogation, Kieran knew very well how to deal with these guys who were fierce in appearance but weak in heart.
"This is one of the few chances you have!"
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
Kieran pulled the rag out of the man's mouth and asked him coldly.
"I'll talk!"
The pain was still stabbing him deeply, but when he saw Kieran's cold expression, his mental defenses crumbled completely.
Everything was as Kieran had predicted.
The other party was not a real tough guy.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something as despicable as threatening Sister Mony.
Although the kind and gentle old woman did not describe her previous encounter in detail, Kieran felt that he should do something for her.
It was not to gain Guntherson's favor or Sister Mony's. It was just that Kieran wanted to do it.
That was why Kieran had chosen a more direct and efficient way to deal with these despicable people.
He would not have chosen to pretend to cooperate with them and lure them out.
Even if the latter seemed to be much easier.
"What's your name?"
"Swarko!"
"How many accomplices do you have?"
"Two!"
"What are their names?"
"Lushan, Evan!"
"Where are they?"
"Only Lushan is at 6 Seiler Street. Evan doesn't know! "
"Where did you get the secret of the Church of Dawn's wealth?"
"It's Evan!"
"Evan?"
"Yes, it's him! He was the one who contacted me and Rushan. He said he found a treasure! "
…
Kieran interrogated the man.
The sharpness of the dagger and the pain in his body made the man spill everything he knew.
Kieran asked him twice in a row, interspersed with questions to confirm what he had said.
The interrogation also allowed Kieran to come up with a few conclusions.
First, Kieran had confirmed that the group of spies was made up of three people. Swarko and the man named Lushan were both working for the man named Evan.
Second, Evan was very mysterious. He did not contact the two of them directly. He only contacted them through letters. Of course, the addresses were always fake.
Third, the man named Evan had not only contacted Swarko and Lushan, but Swarko did not know who the others were. He was only Lushan's partner.
"Evan?"
Kieran mumbled the name softly.
From Swarko's words, Kieran could not picture the man at all.
Other than knowing that the man was careful, cautious, and greedy, Kieran could not be sure if he was a man or a woman.
"I told you everything I know …"
"Yes!"
Kieran nodded.
Then, the dagger in his hand pierced Swarko's throat.
Swarko looked at Kieran in disbelief. He did not understand why Kieran had done that.
Why didn't they verify his words before killing him to silence him?
That was the way it should be!
Puzzled, Swarko sank into eternal darkness.
After Swarko's death, a skill book wrapped in white light appeared in front of Kieran.
However, Kieran did not pick it up. Instead, he looked at the door.
The door to Kieran's room was pushed open. Guntherson walked in, carrying a man on his shoulder.
Guntherson did not bother to hide his footsteps.
His tall and buff body was carrying an equally buff person on his shoulder. The floor in Kieran's room was squeaky as he stepped on it.
"Lushan?"
Kieran asked, looking at the man on Guntherson's shoulder.
"Yes, one of the two."
Guntherson nodded and threw the man named Lushan next to Swarko's body.
Bang!
The heavy thud indicated that Guntherson had not shown any mercy.
Kieran shrugged.
When Kieran had suggested luring the spies out, Guntherson had asked for help without Sister Mony's knowledge.
Kieran had been more than happy to oblige.
He had hoped to have a strong helper like Guntherson.
However, Guntherson's strength had exceeded Kieran's expectations.
At first, Kieran had thought that the strong and burly Guntherson's greatest strength would be his unimaginable strength and extremely special techniques.
However, when Guntherson had volunteered to help, Kieran had realized that Guntherson's greatest strength was his stealth.
Even with his E + Rank Intuition and the fact that he knew the man was hiding in the dark, he still could not detect the man's presence.
If Guntherson had not released his presence at the right time, Kieran would have thought that Guntherson had not been there at all.
Because of this, Kieran had been able to kill Swarko without hesitation.
He did not even need to leave. Guntherson had proven the truth of Swarko's words.
Swarko had not been able to detect Guntherson's presence at all.
"Are you wondering why I'm so good at stealth?"
Guntherson had noticed Kieran's strange reaction.
"Yes!"
Kieran nodded without hiding it.
"Because in order to protect, you need to understand the darkness. Only by understanding the enemy can you deal with them!"
Guntherson said calmly.
His tone was calm, as if he was talking about something normal, but Kieran could see a lot more from his calmness.
Conspiracies, assassinations, and blood!
The era that Guntherson and Sister Mony had lived in …
It had been harsher than he had imagined.
Kieran sighed.
He focused on what was in front of him.
"Did you find any other valuable clues in their hideout?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes, this!
"I've hoarded over a hundred of them in their room!"
They wanted to raze St. Paolo to the ground! "
Guntherson took out two sticks of something that Kieran was very familiar with. They were self-made explosives!
Kieran took a closer look at the explosives in Guntherson's hand and realized that they were very similar to the ones that the crazy bastard Shuberg had used.
They were exactly the same!
Kieran furrowed his brows.
A bold guess popped up in his mind.
Shuberg fought against the police like crazy so that the military controlled by his backer could enter the city. The backer didn't want to start a rebellion as Shuberg had originally guessed, but he wanted to use the military to search for the thousand-year-old treasure of the Church of Dawn!
In the name of searching for Shuberg!
The premise of this guess was that the mastermind was the same person that Swarko had mentioned!
Kieran squinted his eyes as he looked at the explosives in his hand that were very similar to the ones he had seen the night before.
"What's wrong?"
Guntherson looked at Kieran, who was frowning.
"I think I've found something amazing!
But I need to confirm it again! "
Kieran did not tell Guntherson his guess right away.
Just like Kieran had said, he needed to confirm something.
After all, his conjecture was only based on similar homemade explosives.
No one could guarantee that homemade explosives would not be similar.
So, Kieran needed more evidence to confirm his guess.
"Mr. Guntherson, could you stand guard here for me for a while?"
"Of course!
But I have to get back to St. Paolo before dawn. Otherwise, Moni will get suspicious. If she finds out that I've broken my promise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep my job as the night watchman! I'll be expelled from the school! "
Guntherson did not reject Kieran's request, but he reminded Kieran to pay attention to the time.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
