�When I stealthily followed behind them, I noticed a couple of houses near the bridge that is at the edge of the slums. Many people were being held captive in the basements of those houses.�

Crack. Crack.

The fingers on his fake left arm cracked as Ron bent his fingers. He then gently continued to speak.

�They were doing terrible things that even assassins would not do.�

�Mm.�

Cale turned his gaze away from the assassin Ron.

�And?�

However, Cale wanted Ron to get to the point. Ron got to the core of the issue.

�I noticed one of the Chryshi household�s butlers going into one of those houses last night. Those buildings are regular houses for families in the slums during the day. However, once the sun goes down, those so-called families turn into employees.�

Freesia added on.

�After tailing the butler until early the next morning, we verified the butler meeting with a merchant.�

There was a high chance of that merchant being part of a merchant guild that was part of the slave trade.

She quickly continued to speak.

�One of my subordinates is currently tailing that merchant. We will soon receive a first report about the identity of that merchant guild. We will be able to have a good idea about their identity and know for certain after the second report.�

Tap. Tap.

Cale tapped on the armrest before looking back toward Ron. The old man realized that his young master had realized something.

Cale slowly started to speak.

�A merchant guild illegally purchasing people as slaves��

Where would those slaves go?

Slaves were illegal in the Roan Kingdom.

Unless the Chryshi household was crazy, they would not sell slaves within the kingdom.

So, who would need slaves?

Furthermore, who would need to use a merchant guild in order to stealthily gather slaves?

Cale had a good idea about the answers to these questions. JrNovels.com
