Braedon and Kai Jun were walking around the city, looking at all of the different buildings as they walked toward their destination.
Without even noticing, Braedon began to fall into a sort of nostalgic trance while looking around. It had been so long since he had just taken a walk peacefully. He felt as if he was a normal person again, not some ghost who was needed to regain his missing body.
After reaching the front of a shop, Kai Jun stepped in quickly without warning. This caused Braedon to stop, process the random action, an follow him inside. "Kai Jun what are you doing?" He called out as soon as he entered into the building and looked around for his pal.
An overwhelming feeling of annoyance began to take over Braedon, since he could not spot Kai Jun's whereabouts. It took him a few minutes before Braedon found out where Kai Jun was. He was standing before a glass box with a golden circlet encased inside of it.
He walked up behind Kai Jun and tapped his shoulder, startling him. "Oh Braedon! I'm sorry I didn't notice you standing behind me." Kai Jun only said this before he returned to watching the circlet.
"Is something wrong?" Braedon asked while looking in Kai Jun's direction. Braedon could not understand his interest in the ring-like object. It didn't feel like it was some powerful treasure to Braedon, so the fascination confused him.
Kai Jun did not say a thing as he slowly traced the glass case. The building they were currently in was actually a museum that held pieces that could easily be hundreds or thousands of years old. Suddenly, he pulled a glowing object out of his pocket and pressed it against the glass.
A blinding flash shot out, so Braedon turned his head away in order to not be blinded. When the light faded away, Braedon looked back at the box and saw that nothing had changed. There was no difference in the state of the box before and after the light flashed. Kai Jun just turned around and wrapped his arms around Braedon's shoulders, "I'm done doing what I needed to do here, let's leave now."
They left with none of Braedon's questions being answered and instead more questions being made.
As he was wondering to himself on whether or not he should get some answers from Kai Jun or if he should just ignore this event, they arrived at their destination. It was a small, wooden cabin.like structure found squeezed in between two buildings.
A large sign was hanging over it that read, "Fortune Telling! The Most Accurate Read On The Future That You'll Ever See!"
This building, while looking like a fortune telling scam, was actually the one of the hidden branch bases of the Shadow Guild. Right here in front of them, was a sea of people that could possibly have the information they needed. The location of the entity.
It seemed sort of strange that they would need a base hidden out in the open, but Qi Bao explained that this was also the place where many information brokers would visit and sell what they have learned.
The two men walked over to the door and knocked on it twice. A slide opened up as a pair of eyes appeared suddenly and began staring at them, "Which wise wizards, waddled with the waves."
"Ragnor Runold of Ruffington ran brought rocks to run with the Roc." Kai Jun repeated the secret code that they used to keep mortals away from the "VIP room" in the back. They learned this code from Qi Bao and they were lucky enough that the code only changed once a month so they still had a few days left.
"Come right in, oh knowledgeable ones." The door opened wide up and a handsome old man who looked to be in his fifties bowed down and pointed them in. Both Kai Jun and Braedon stepped through the door and threw the man a mid tier soul crystal, "A small gift for you."
The man scurried along to grab it as it flew through the air and a greedy smile appeared on his face, "Oh great customers, please do tell me how I could be of service to you! Are you here to buy or to sell?"
"Buy." They were waiting for these exact words and answered the man quickly. "Of course most generous one. And what about your hooded friend, will he be coming with us or does he have other objectives?"
Braedon was currently wearing a hoodie with the hood slapped onto his head and stretched out so that it covered most of his face. He was doing this because Kai Jun explained to him that when the entity took over his body, it did not change the appearance or anything like that. It just used him as he was.
This provided some minor inconviences for Braedon as he was not sure if anyone would recognize him or not, so they decided that he should wear a hood for this situation. "He is coming with me, but don't worrh about him too much. I am the one who will be purchasing the information."
The man nodded profusely as he lead them over to the back room which was covered by a curtain. They waved it aside only to reveal a large club-like area with alcohol and gambling all over the place.
Many drunken and rough looking people were roaming the place and staring at them as the group of three passed by. They were brought over to the bar where a lady wearing a tight red dress was serving them, "Now how may I help you handsome gentlemen."
The women knew her associate well enough to know that he would only personally lead people to her if they had a good chance of being incredibly wealthy. The two men before her didn't look very important or anything like that, but looks could always be deceiving.
"What do you boys need? Food, drinks, information, or... me?" The women gave off a seductive smile while arching her back a bit to show off her impressive... behind. Kai Jun gave off a calm smile while saying, "I need some info, payment only comes once I get what I came for."
"Well what is it?"
"I'm looking for a man who looks like this boy." Suddenly Kai Jun pulled the hood off of Braedon's face only to reveal his handsome appearance.
A look of shock and confusion appeared on her face for one second before she calmed herself down. Kai Jun and Braedon both noticed these changes in her facial expression and high fived each other in their hearts. "They know!" They silently said to themselves while seeing if they would get an answer.
"I'm guessing that you already know that this person is a high ranking official among the people that I work for?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry but I would ather not die today, if you want some information about that man then go find someone else." The lady have an apology as she waved them away. The man who had been treating them so generously before tried to lead the two away with a passive expression on his face.
Suddenly the lady's voice called out behind them, "Out of curiosity, what is your connection with him?"
Kai Jun's patter Braedon's shoulder slwhile saying, "My friend here did him a big favor in the past. He ran away before we could tell him how to repay us, now we just want what we are owed."
They left the building soon afterwords and the man returned to the woman's side, "Madam, what do we do. I don't trust what they said at all!"
"Of course you shouldn't you blundering dumbass. Someone with bad intentions would never reveal those intentions until it's too late... get me the boss. I think that we need to report those two to headquarters. The boy right beside the man looked to similar to that monster."
She popped out a cigarette from under th counter and lit it" And although I couldn't catch a glimpse of his cultivation, that man gave off an intimidating feeling when he was speaking to me. I only get these from two people, the boss and those who are extremely powerful and used to killing."
She took a deep huff from the addictive substance and looked at the direction Kai Jun and Braedon left from, "I think it might be time for me to finally quit this job. First the Zan Clan and now those two guys. Something big is halleneing and I don't want to be a part of it."
The man nodded in agreement, "Me too..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
