"You went to Dublin Street before right?"
The Funeral Society member asked.
Kieran frowned.
In order to numb the unknown mastermind, Kieran went to Dublin Street to kill the butcher, Lude, and Lee knew what he did.
Now that Lee asked again, it seemed like there was something wrong.
So, Kieran didn't answer and signaled Lee to continue.
After taking in a deep breath, Lee continued.
"Unfortunately, right after you left, there was a burglary in the wealthy district of Dublin Street."
"The portrait of Artitelgar has been stolen!"
And according to the video … "
"You're the one who stole that priceless painting."
The millionaire who lost the painting was infuriated, he offered a reward of a million to find you and his painting! "
Lee smiled bitterly again as he spoke. Before Kieran could say anything, Lee continued, "I know this is a clumsy way of framing and shifting the blame to someone else. There are a lot of people in the Underworld who could achieve such a feat but that is only in the Underworld. For the common people in the world, everything is so unbelievable!"
"So, this hunter decided to make a move on me?
Don't tell me he wants to exchange me for the bounty? "
Kieran pointed at the unconscious Ditko after he understood the situation.
His tone was filled with mockery.
Kieran knew Ditko wouldn't use him for the bounty but Ditko chose to make a move on him.
However, the reason why the other party chose to make a move was because the Funeral Society was expressing their stance to the millionaire. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Talk → Net]
】
Maybe some other secret organization's members would protect their identity and wouldn't do such a thing.
But Funeral Society, which had many factions and even the government behind them, would surely do so.
Besides, Funeral Society would definitely put on a front that said they were very capable and had found the person they were looking for based on the clues but the person wasn't the real thief.
Of course, it was built on the premise that Kieran had displayed a certain level of strength.
If it was a common man …
The result was obvious.
At the same time, the identity of the millionaire must be something else to be able to make the hunters of the Funeral Society move out right away.
"Of course not!"
"It's just that the influence of that tycoon is too great. We have no choice but to take a stand!"
The Funeral Society member shook his head.
Everything was just as Kieran had guessed.
However, there was one thing that Kieran found a little strange.
"Based on our relationship, I'm curious why you're helping me like this?"
Kieran looked at Li with a playful expression.
Through their interactions, Kieran knew very well that the other party was not a person who cared about justice.
In fact, from a certain perspective, he couldn't even be considered a good person.
Would such a person help someone just because they had met a few times?
It was simply too fantastical.
The other party must have their own reasons for doing so.
Kieran was curious about this.
Instantly, the bitter smile on Funeral Society's face got thicker.
"Because helping you is helping me!"
Taking another deep breath, the Funeral Society member started to narrate his story from beginning to end.
"The person in charge of each branch of the Funeral Society isn't fixed, they have their own selection system. Those who pass the test will be retained and promoted and those who fail will be punished or even transferred to some retirement department. It's no different from being banished!"
"One of my colleagues who didn't pass the test was transferred to the retirement department just like that. The last time I saw him, he looked no different than a 60 years old man. His body and will were lifeless and he wasn't even 30 years old! I don't want to accept such a fate! "
"But the choices before me are few and far between. Saint Brilliant High School's unusual incident caused the HQ to lose a hunter and after I sent out a request for assistance in the investigation, I continued to seek help from the HQ … It left me with no way out and now, the painting of my true love is gone as well. I've been pushed down the cliff but fortunately, I still have a straw in my hand!"
Lee then looked at Kieran.
"You want me to help you find that painting?"
Kieran squinted his eyes.
"Helping you is helping me and at the same time, if you help me, you will also be helping yourself. As long as I can find that painting, I have the confidence to persuade that person and not only will I be able to keep my position, you will also get a sizable reward!"
The Funeral Society member said in a sincere tone.
Of course, Kieran didn't believe the sincerity of Lee at all.
Lee was forced into a corner and he was trying his best to struggle.
If he succeeded, it would be a happy ending.
But if he failed?
Based on Lee's performance, Kieran believed Lee would sell him out at the first moment.
He would lie that Lee was under Kieran's control.
Kieran didn't point it out since he knew what Lee was thinking.
Kieran had something he needed from Lee as well.
In fact, it was an urgent need.
So, he didn't mind feigning civility with Lee.
"Not a bad way of putting it!
I'm looking forward to that sizable reward! "
Kieran said.
"You will find that it will exceed your imagination, so let's …"
"Wait!
I still have some things to deal with. "
Kieran pointed at Tanya, Kana, Jen who were tied up, Ditko who he knocked out and the ancient well.
Lee was stunned for a while before nodding repeatedly.
"Understood."
Although he was anxious to see Kieran search for the famous painting, he wouldn't go against Kieran's suggestion at the moment.
"Then let's find a suitable place.
"Please follow me."
The Funeral Society member carried the unconscious Ditko over his shoulder and headed outside.
Kieran grabbed the other three and followed closely behind.
…
The earthquake happened for a moment before disappearing.
Still, the damages caused by the earthquake made all the firefighters and police officers busy.
Oaker didn't rest for the whole night.
When the last part of the slums that he was responsible for was cleaned up, Oaker heaved a deep sigh.
He was a righteous man without a doubt.
He was also willing to help the poor.
However, his capabilities were limited.
Oaker who had passed the hot-blooded age knew it very well.
It was just that tonight, he had a deeper feeling.
Not just those fiends that he had never heard of, but also … natural disasters!
Looking at the bodies covered in white cloth, Oaker felt helpless in his heart.
His heart was filled with helplessness, the inspector lowered his head and turned around with a lonely expression.
Then, he was stunned.
A person that he never thought would appear behind him.
It was Lee from Funeral Society.
"What are you doing here?"
Oaker had a bad impression of Lee, his tone was also bad.
"Don't you want to know why the earthquake happened all of a sudden?"
The Funeral Society member asked with a smile.
"What the hell are you talking about …"
"The earthquake was caused by 'man'?"
Oaker retorted out of instinct and only realized what was going on when the words escaped his mouth.
He grabbed Funeral Society member by the shoulder.
"Which bastard is it?"
Oaker lowered his voice.
However, anyone could hear the anger in his voice.
"Follow me!"
