The knocks on the door subsided.
"Come in!"
Kieran's answer came from the other side of the door.
Kana pushed the door open. Even though she had prepared herself a lot, it was hard for her to hold back the faint aroma.
She took a glance at the [Merman's Meat] in the ice box and turned her head away right away.
Her action made Kieran raise a brow.
He initially thought Kana was here for the [Merman's Meat] but judging from her reaction, it seemed like she was here for something else.
It made Kieran curious in his heart.
Kieran directly threatened Kana's life to make her obey him temporarily.
It was natural that such obedience wouldn't last long.
So, what kind of words or actions would she use to convince him?
Kieran was looking forward to it.
He knew Kana would have a deeper meaning in her words.
Kieran had a deep impression of Kana before his eyes.
She might be average in strength but she was definitely cunning.
The way she perfectly utilized her age, gender, and even the advantages of her personality wasn't something common people could achieve, especially under the influence of her bloodline. Most of the time, Kana's personality would be infuriated over the little things. It wasn't easy for her to achieve what she did, Kieran knew it very well.
Kana spoke under Kieran's gaze.
"We need to leave this place!
It's me and Jen! "
She emphasized after a slight pause.
"Oh."
Kieran nodded without further comment and waited for Kana to continue.
"Jen's parents are from Rassho Temple, we would notify them every day but since yesterday until now, we haven't gotten any news from them. Jen's parents must be very anxious!"
Kana said slowly.
"Rassho Temple?"
Kieran squinted his eyes.
He wasn't a stranger to the term.
During his reading last night, even with the special reading method, the term Rassho Temple appeared more than once.
The frequency of the term was even higher than Funeral Society.
There were only a few that could compare to it.
According to the records in the books, Rassho Temple and a few other civil organizations were the main force of Demon Hunters before Funeral Society appeared.
Even with the appearance of the Funeral Society, Rassho Temple's position was not shaken at all. In fact, Rassho Temple's position grew even higher.
That was because one of the founders of the Funeral Society was from Rassho Temple.
Kieran never dared to underestimate such an organization.
What he didn't expect was that the dull-witted Chen would be involved with such an organization.
"Inheritance... Rassho Temple?"
"Could it be?"
Kieran's narrowed eyes shone brightly.
Subconsciously, he thought of the Templar Energy.
Of course, this didn't mean that Kieran would believe her words right away.
"There's no need for me to lie to you. This kind of lie will be exposed in an instant. If you don't believe me, I can call Rassho Temple and prove Jen's identity!"
Kana looked at Kieran's expression. Her half-fiend's sharp instinct allowed her to sense Kieran's distrust.
Kieran, on the other hand, smiled.
"So?"
Kieran asked.
Then, before Kana could speak, he continued, "Do you want me to let you guys go or make a phone call to verify it?
Even if there were some misunderstandings between the two of you, you guys would have escaped to a faraway place or called for reinforcements right? "
Kana was stunned.
"I didn't lie to you!"
She emphasized.
"I can't be sure about that, so I chose a more trustworthy way!"
Kieran raised his left hand as he spoke.
[Mesly Ring] was shining brightly.
Kana shivered.
That unparalleled sense of terror once again shrouded her soul.
"I didn't lie to you!
I really didn't lie to you! "
Her frantic scream and her retreating body forced Kieran to stop for a while.
Or more precisely, after he got what he wanted, there was no need to scare her anymore.
It wasn't like a few days ago.
If it was a few days ago, Kieran would turn Kana into his puppet right away but now?
Kieran had a lot of things to deal with, he didn't want to cause more trouble.
After all, Kana wasn't alone.
Kieran was in someone else's territory.
Even if he was completely following orders, some changes would attract attention.
Kieran would never underestimate anyone.
If he treated others as fools, the one who would end up as the fool would be himself.
"Go make the phone call!"
Kieran said.
"Huh?"
Kana was shocked as she retreated to the wall in panic and stuck herself to the door.
"Go make the phone call, tell Jen's parents in Rassho Temple or the reinforcements that you think are here. Tell them everything that happened here and what happened."
Kieran said slowly.
Kana's anxious and doubtful expression immediately showed a sense of doubt.
Though, she didn't say anything else.
She knew what she needed the most right now.
Kana turned around and walked out of the room.
The door was closed again, leaving only Kieran in deep thoughts.
He was sitting quietly in a pile of books, perfecting his plan.
From the start to the end, he didn't mind more people and factions getting involved in the current situation.
As long as there were enough rewards, it would be fine.
Of course, [Special Event] had to be completed as well.
Kieran flipped through the books again, searching for fiends related to the earthquake.
At the same time, a map of Flame City was laid out before him and he started to draw lines with a red pen.
A thin, straight red line appeared on the map.
It was the direction where he sensed the terrifying presence.
However, Kieran wasn't sure whether or not that person was still on the line.
Even though Kieran's A + Intuition allowed him to know everything within a dozen meter radius like the back of his hand, once the range was beyond that range, it wasn't enough.
So, when Kieran sensed the presence, he knew it was because of the battle with the dragon-snake stone monsters that he sensed it, it wasn't because the person was nearby.
As for where the person was now?
Kieran wasn't sure.
He couldn't guarantee that the person would stay put and not move.
For Kieran who wanted to investigate the [Earth Anomaly], it wasn't any good news. All he could do was follow the trail that the person left behind and compare it with the records of the hidden incidents in the books to get more information.
No doubt, it was a stupid method.
But it was also the only one that Kieran could come up with at the moment.
He believed the person couldn't have absorbed the energy of the earthquake out of thin air, it must have required some special methods and such methods weren't something that could be achieved with a simple setup.
Otherwise, the person wouldn't have needed to flash away.
What if the person wasn't in Flame City?
Such a possibility wasn't impossible.
Kieran did think of the possibility but he didn't want to give up without trying.
So, for the whole morning and afternoon, Kieran used the map as an entry and started to read through the books around him.
This kind of investigation was boring and dry, but Kieran was patient and did not let go of even the slightest bit of information.
