chapter 18: desperate search

While everyone was playing cat and mouse in the black market. Reno finally hide inside the building.

He then check the mission difficulty on which it was a hard mission.

He never thought that coming in the black market area will be his most problematic event to him.

Most of all, he didn't know the current culprit or his location.

Since many people saw him. He have guessed that they will find him at all cost. Moreover Reno surely have a bad feeling that if he tries to escape in the black market.

Someone will shoot him from the distance.

So instead of sneakily get out. He then look for the culprit or rather, the henchman from the noble society.

Reno didn't when to streets but instead he when from building to building to avoid the partol. he even steal some stuff to concealed himself from the others.

Right now, he look like a hitman in Afghanistan as he throws the cat mask in his pouch.

"Damn many people are patrolling in the area."

As Reno curse his luck. He then saw a small shop across the street.

This makes Reno to look at it with suspicious since most arms deal has pack with people but this one almost none of it.

As Reno gritted his teeth. He decided to gamble and walk across.

He didn't look everywhere as his eyes was remain in front of him.

Most people saw him suspiciously but nobody bothered him since there are some people like that. And it will be idiotic if they offended that person without knowing his background.

As Reno entered the building. He saw a man standing in the counter where the iron bars and bulletproof glass are protecting him.

This makes Reno to click his tongue since he couldn't forcefully beat the guy up. And also relief that this is not a arms deal.

"Welcome to whispers how can I help you?"

When Reno heard the word whispers, he have guess that this person was selling a information.

This makes Reno finally understand why many people didn't when to this building. since they are busy in preparing the coup.

As Reno look at this suspicious person. The man in the counter remain smile like he did this several times in this kind of job.

"Before I ask can you answer one question for me?"

In Reno's serious tone. The man kindly said.

"Sir if you want ask anything you need to pay first. Of course, what I say is very true without hint of lie."

"How can I trust you?"

"Oh? You don't trust us? Let me guess. You're new here right?"

As Reno nodded.

The man smiled and said.

"Well lucky for you sir, we the whispers are very professional in this kind of field. We never sell a false information since we don't want our loyal customer to loss there trust on us.

Moreover, looking at your appearance and how you are new here. I can guess that the people outside are looking for you right?"

As Reno remain silent. Reno couldn't help but to sweat rapidly. And the man continued.

"Relax, am a professional person. We never snitch someone unless they pay the pair price. In fact, I have a hunch that this people outside doesn't care about you since they are very busy. Right now. You sir are being search by the local militant or perhaps I would called them. A local thug."

As he finished speak. Reno didn't let his guard down. But he didn't have a good option since he was running out of time.

As Reno sigh inwardly. He then ask.

"Fine how much for the information?"

At Reno's question. The man smiled and said.

"We have three categories. The first one is I will tell you anything related to the target, but it was just a rumors and it will take over two to three days to delivered the information you want. It will only cost you about 150 copper coins.

Second was to tell you related to the target. Unlike the other one. I will tell you anything related to the target including his hideout. His business and even his family. You can ask him directly where the target was located. This will cost you about 500 silver coins and 120 copper coins and it will take only a couple of minutes.

Lastly, I will tell you directly where are the target was and he was currently in but this cost you a large sum of money and not only that it will take a few minutes."

"How much was it?"

"2000 gold coins, and 1000 silver coins."

When Reno heard this, his eyes when wide which the man only shrug it.

If you compare the gold coins in a dollar. 1 gold coins was equivalent of 100 dollar while the silver coins was 50 dollar which means it cost him over 204,000 dollars. Making Reno to almost got a heart attack.

As Reno gritted his teeth he then choice the second option causing him to ran out of money in just one day.

This makes the man smiled and said.

"Don't worry, what I said is true and you will never regret it."

Reno almost spit the man's face but he urgently to restraining himself to do so.

After that terrible event. Reno quickly when to the guy related to the man who wants to start a coup.

After he went to his home. He immediately kick the door causing the people to surprised.

They didn't know who is this intruder and Reno didn't say anything as he fired the guards inside the house.

Bang!

The bullet penetrated the man's head causing the other to fight back. But since Reno was too angry right now.

He killed many of them but, the injured people was also not so luck.

They suddenly burned alive by the bullet causing everyone to panic.

Right now, Reno equiped his rifle with a fire orb. They didn't notice that the rifle change it color since they are busy at Reno who was killing left and right.

Not only that, Reno even goes as far as killing the guards in close combat.

Thanks to his reflexes. He dodge the incoming bullets and even use there comrades as shield.

Soon Reno almost killed everyone in the mansion as he violently kick the door.

What he saw was man he was looking for.

Trigon the man related to the henchman he tries to kill. Moreover he isn't alone inside the office.

There over 10 people inside including trigon which trigon gave a sinister smile.

Looking at the guns pointed at Reno. Trigon smirk his face. He didn't know why the unknown man suddenly charge at him but he didn't care.

He is a man who committed many disturbing crimes as he already forgotten how many he committed.

Of course Reno wasn't surprised as he throws a thick grenade in his hand.

Reno isn't stupid enough charge the door without a plan. What's more the large grenade he throws isn't ordinary grenade causing everyone to turned pale.

Reno who saw their pale faces quick takes cover.

What Reno throws was a powerful weapon that almost strong as 3 c4 bomb.

Boom!

Upon blowing the office. Reno felt his ears gone deaf in too much loud and saw the devestated ruin office. It's a miracle if someone was alive in that explosion.

Since Reno who looted the whole mansion. He tries to use the large grenade in the basement out of curiosity.

But then the man named trigon was still alive or rather. His perfectly fine.

Thanks to his life saving artifacts. His life wasn't endanger but this makes trigon to sweat rapidly.

He has confident that his men will kill the intruder before and he even goes far as using the artifact to be sure but.

He never though that the intruder was going to search his mansion and use his reserve to blow him and his men up.

Now, his arrogance will cause his terrible luck and Reno who was in front of him ask.

"W-what do you want?"

At the man's words. Reno didn't hesitate and gave a powerful punch.

The reason he punch him was to release all of his angry in front of him. And ask.

"Who is the responsible for the coup d'etat?"

At Reno's word. Trigon became surprised. He never though that someone will revealed there plans but in the same time. He just smirk at Reno.

Trigon knew that the coup d'etat will start today causing him to laugh.

"Hahaha, do you think I revealed his name to y-."

Bam!

Reno didn't let him continued as he punch the guy again. Trigon's laugh became Reno's irrigation.

He knew that trigon was making fun of him because he was desperate to end the coup.

Of course, Reno has a way. To break the man in front of him. He gave dozens of heavy punch.

Trigon's face become swollen with wounds and his face was beyond recognition.

Trigon can tell that Reno will never stop and his words only keep asking where is the main culprit.

For over couple of minutes of endless beating. Trigon finally spoke.

"His in the downtown near the commercial area. This is the only thing I know. Please stop hitting m-. Ugh?!"

At Reno's last punch. He look at the man with cold eyes while his right arm and face was covered in blood.

The people who tries to save trigon saw the terrifying face of Reno.

Rather than the face. His cloth of mask was stain in blood but when they look at his eyes.

Only merciless can see on it.
