409 The Mysterious Client

When she heard Emmelyn's question, Lyla could only shrug. "Unfortunately, the identity of the person who is offering the second reward is shrouded in mystery."

"Then, how do we know that he is serious and the money is there?" Emmelyn asked.

"He is serious because he is vouched by several top knights for hire," Lyla explained. "He already paid 2000 coins to those people just to spread the bounty announcement. That's how my girls got the info actually. Those knights for hire would prefer to keep this among themselves and search the woman in private."

"Oh..." Emmelyn felt her stomach churn. Why was she so unlucky? She was cursed by a family whom she never met, and now a mysterious person was so adamant in capturing her that he was willing to spend that much money on her?

This was crazy!
