The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 202: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 5

Although the bartender is a stranger, Kayn still didn't hesitate to follow her to the back room. That's because if he hesitates, it would mean that he is not familiar with what he is doing and has probably heard everything from somebody else. This would make the bartender change her mind about having a transaction with him, and what he came here to do would all be for nothing.

The backroom wasn't just one room, it was a hallway with dozens of doors on both walls. Each of those doors clearly has a person inside who has the information that he needs.

Kayn looked around curiously while following the bartender.

In the next moment, the bartender stopped in front of a room with the number nine, which has a symbolic representation of liberation, a synonym for the word freedom.

"The man inside has what you need," The bartender informed before leaving to return to her duty.

Kayn didn't waste any time as he entered the room.

Inside the room was a man with only the right hand and an eyepatch to his left eye. If he was to guess, this man probably received an attack to his left, which explains the missing left arm and left eye.

Of course, there's also the possibility that the man is just faking it. It is a very common performance in this line of work. By pretending to have irreversible wounds, they can drive up the price of the information using the excuse that they went to great lengths to get them.

"Are you done examining me?" The man asked with a serious tone in his voice.

"Yes," Kayn didn't hide his intention before sitting on the chair opposite the man.

"What about the Assembly of Freedom do you need?"

"Everything that you know,"

"I am afraid that I can't do that," The man pointed to the sign above him.

Looking at the sign, Kayn read that every customer can only ask for five pieces of information per day.

"If you want to know more, you have to return the next day, and the day after that. It would probably take you around a month to finish, and maybe by then I would have more information about the Assembly of Freedom, which would again take you another, I don't know, probably forever," The man rolled his right eye. "All I am saying is, ask the right question,"

Kayn didn't mind the sarcastic response of the man as he understand that he offended the latter by scrutinizing him the moment he entered the room.

"Okay," Kayn now understood the rules. "What are you asking for each piece of information?"

"You can ask first along with the offer, if I am satisfied with it I'll tell you. If not, then I won't respond,"

"Fine," Kayn realized that this establishment is very protective of their informant. They have meticulously considered the possibility of someone buying information from them and then selling it to another establishment. Not only that, by limiting the information a customer can ask, they can also differentiate the fake informants from the real ones because a fake won't know everything that the original informant knows.

"Give me the location of five of their bases around or nearby the Daze Village. You probably know more than five, so I'll leave it up to you to decide based on what I am paying you," Kayn waves his hand and took out five thousand coins. This means he is giving one thousand coins for each location.

Greed was instantly seen in the man's eyes. In his mind, he understood that the person in front of him is a big client. The reason is that information is normally priced from fifty coins to five hundred, only the rich one gives more than that.

"In that case, I'll give you the location of their important bases," The man waves his hand and immediately took out a map of the Daze Village and its territory outside.

"I got these pieces of information after —"

"Cut the useless talk and just give me the information I need!" Kayn interrupted. He doesn't want to hear the sympathy card that they usually use in order to earn more on what they supposedly call a tip.

"Alright," The man realized that he can't fool the man in front of him.

The man started circling the location while describing what those bases were.

"This one is for their food. The second one is for their weapons. The third one is where they store their slaves, which I don't know where they intend on using them,"

Kayn naturally knew after reading the description of the <<Cost of Loyalty>>. Those slaves are clearly going to be forced to swear loyalty to Chief Kylo so that he can use them as crazy soldiers during the war. Unfortunately, now that he has the Kingmaker, those slaves won't any longer be used for that.

"The fourth is where they gather for a meeting. And this last one, as a special treat for paying me a lot, is the house of Chief Kylo,"

"That's how you earn a tip," Kayn toss a Storage Ring which contains another thousand coins.

"I'll take note of that for the next time," The man smiled widely.

Since already have what he needed, Kayn immediately left the room. He followed the same path he took to get inside and not long after he returned to the tavern.

"Are you done?" The bartender asks.

"Yes," Kayn nodded his head as he returned to his seat. He put the stack of documents that he is still carrying from the devil's shot on top of the table and said. "Pick me a mission that's related to my Tonic Extraction,"

"This one," The bartender pushed a piece of document in front of Kayn.

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm "Thank you," Kayn pushed one hundred coins to the bartender. "This is my payment and tip for your service,"

Kayn immediately left the tavern.

As he was leaving, he can't help but notice a few men standing up from their respective seats and following him outside.

He already understood what was going on. But he didn't panic nor did something to flee from their nose. As a matter of fact, he was glad that this happens. In this way, he can ask for more information from these people after he incapacitates them.
