Central Graveyard, the grave of Arwena Algo Zelgar.

That was the contents of the piece of paper.

“Central Graveyard, eh?”

Kieran couldn’t hold back his grin as he thought of something.

This extra reward seemed to be much bigger than he expected.

“Is your goal there as well?”

Kieran muttered in his heart as he left the building.

At the end of the stairs outside the building, Wier was standing with a man from the Special Affairs Division. When they saw Kieran come out, the man walked up and greeted him.

“Lord D, this is the present from the Lady.”

“If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to tell me.”

The man said with a flattering tone after handing a suitcase to Kieran.

“En.” Kieran took the suitcase without commenting on the flattery.

Kieran then headed towards the car that he arrived in without further looking at the man.

Since the beginning, Kieran didn’t need any so-called ‘helpers’ from any divisions, because he knew they weren’t reliable.

The man’s face changed many times when he saw Kieran walk away, but he wasn’t angry after Kieran ignored him.

A second later, a warm, delightful smile appeared on the man’s face. He walked over to the car, bent down, and said next to the window, “Take care, Lord D.”

The man then straightened his body and looked toward Wier with a stern face.

“Wier, you must now be around Lord D 24 hours a day, help him in any way you can, if there is something that you can’t handle, don’t forget to tell me. Understand?”

Wier didn’t even look at the man amidst the bossy words, he went straight to the driver seat instead.

The veteran consultant knew what kind of person this man was.

He didn’t have to care at all.

Once you cared, the man would stick to you like a dog skin plaster that had sh*t on it instead of herbal medicine.

Wier didn’t want to linger for another minute.

After the car roared to life, the pedal was stepped on, and it drove off like a horse let loose of its reins.

…

“Lord D, where to?”

After driving away from the building, Wier asked.

“Back to the hotel,” Kieran answered.

There was no extra chit-chat or the intention to continue the conversation. It made it hard for Wier who wanted to ask about the missing Mayor Syro Derl.

But since his good friend was abducted, he couldn’t really turn a blind eye.

Ultimately, he braced himself and asked, “Do you have anything on Syro Derl?”

Wier didn’t expect Kieran to answer when the question came out, but to his surprise, Kieran answered straightforwardly, “No.”

The answer made Wier gloomy.

A while later, he smiled bitterly.

“If it’s possible, I’d rather you not answer that.”

“The Lord really found you for something else.”

“I know, I know, the mayor is missing, so what?”

“Even when Speaker Hardy Lynne died, and Wilberst died in his cell without reason, the Lord never asked about it, so who cares about the mayor’s abduction right?”

Wier’s bitter smile even mocked himself.

With his self-mockery, his bitter smile got even worse.

Through the back mirror, Kieran clearly saw the bitter smile, but he remained expressionless.

Even if he weren’t playing a qualified Monster Hunter, he would not say anything else regarding the matter.

Even though Wier looked honest and reliable, it didn’t mean Kieran had the duty to let him know something that he shouldn’t.

In simpler words, Kieran didn’t trust the man.

Trying to befriend a suspicious person is extremely difficult.

Not only do you need strength to fight side by side, but you will also need decent luck as well.

As for the veteran consultant, Wier?

He didn’t have the strength nor luck.

The car then fell into silence.

The silence wasn’t broken even when the car reached Stove-grilled Fish’s door, and Kieran walked out.

“Tsk, seems like you got quite the rewards.”

Lagren raised a brow when he saw Kieran with an extra suitcase. He then waved at Wier who also followed in.

“Wier, want anything to drink?”

“A cup of hot tea please.”

“No tea. What about water?”

“Sure.”

Lagran shook his empty tea can at Wier. Wier then simply answered.

Wier’s gaze was glued to Kieran, even after Kieran went out of sight, his gaze was still lingering around the second floor.

“Sometimes you just can’t force things to happen.”

“These guys have their own ways of doing things, they know what they are doing.’

“They won’t change their ways because of someone or something.”

“They followed their own rules.”

“They love their lives as well.”

“Even when an outsider views them as a complete mess, nothing will change because they are the ones known as Monster Hunters.”

Lagren poured a cup of warm water in front of Wier and said with a shrug.

“I know, but I am worried about Syro,” Wier smiled bitterly as well.

“So you should hope that D sticks to his own rules more.”

Lagren sat in front of Wier.

“What do you mean?” Wier seemed baffled.

“Because only then does it prove that everything will be alright,” Lagren smiled.

…

Kieran heard the conversation between Lagren and Wier.

He didn’t care, he wasn’t a real Monster Hunter anyway.

What he believed differed from the Monster Hunters.

Besides, there was one more thing pending for his attention—

Kieran opened up the suitcase.

Inside the suitcase were 2 [Ice Remnants], and 5 weaker versions of the former, [Ice Remnant Pieces]. The attributes and effects were the same, but the result was much weaker.

However, this weaker version, [Ice Remnant Pieces] attracted attention from under the bed.

Frost Wolf pup, who had been hiding under the bed whimpered softly.

And after it got Kieran’s permission, it jumped out and circled Kieran non-stop while wagging its tail.

“You want them?”

Kieran took an [Ice Remnant Piece].

The pup quickly nodded.

“What a smart fella.”

Kieran touched the pup’s head and placed all the [Ice Remnant Pieces] in front of it.

Kieran wasn’t afraid that the pup would overeat. When he got the [Ice Remnant], the puppy behaved normally. It seemed like it knew what it could eat, what it couldn’t.

Supplements are good, but once you overeat, it would be lethal as well.

Kieran watched the pup lick one of the [Ice Remnant Pieces] before eating it. He waited patiently for the changes to happen.

The wait wasn’t that long, and he was rewarded with enhancements to the pup.

A cold aura overflowed from the little wolf.
