Chapter 474 Gathering Intelligence

Ned was surprised when he heard the offer from the guy who saves him. He was really grateful that the man helped him, or else his soul might have already crossed the afterlife. Now, he also offered to give him a chance to have the power that he desires.

"Of course, this path is dangerous. I'll give you a pill that has a 50% success rate. But if it failed, you might die... So do you still want to walk on this path?" Fein reminded kindly.

'What should I do? Join his organization?' Ned instantly knew that it was this moment and the decision he would make will become a turning point in his life. It was his opportunity to become a fish that jumps to the dragon gate! "I'll join your organization! I don't want to die as a nobody... Even if I die, I'll die because I choose to fight for my fate!"

Fein smiled as he saw Ned bow to him. "Raised your head. I gave you this chance because I like your resolve and your character."

"What should I call the leader??" Ned asked, which in turn Fein answered. "My Name is Fein Bonifacio and you can call me anything you want. I'm not the type of guy that was very particular with formalities."

"Got it, I'll call you Sir. Fein then! Thank you for saving and this opportunity. I'll try my best to reach your expectations and I won't let you down!"

'It seems my vision isn't wrong. I'm right that I recruited him in our organization.' Fein chuckled inwardly.

After all, the 'Eye of the Dark Knights' was currently lacking members. Although Ned is just a normal human currently. Fein was confident that he could give Ned strong power.

Fein had the 'Awakening Pill' he developed to help normal person awaken their powers and sense the degu energy in the environment. If they succeed or not, is up to fate. Ned chose to pursue the path of power. What's important, he had already reminded him. He was at his own risk.

"Well, I'll give you this for the time being." Fein took out a mobile phone in his storage space in a practiced manner.

'Is this the legendary spatial powers!?' Ned took a deep breath as he saw Fein take something out of thin air. Even though he was not the one who did it. It still manage to excite him because he saw it with his own eyes.

"This thing is called a mobile phone, and it has a lot of useful functions. You can contact me with this, or I'll contact you when the time is right for your awakening. More importantly, this phone can do a bunch of amazing things."

Just like that, Fein told some important information to Ned about the base of 'Eye of the Dark Knights'. And also about the other members of the organization before they parted with their ways. As for Jonathan's corpse, Fein just burned it, which was more reliable.

Sofia, who was sleeping, opened her eyes. She first saw the unfamiliar ceiling of the hotel.

Sofia tried to move her hands beside her as if she was expecting to touch something, but she only felt the soft mattress in her hands.

"Fein?" Sofia looked beside her, but Fein was nowhere to be found. 'Did he wake early? But it's still 7 AM in the morning.' 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Sofia pouted... After all, she still wants to have her morning time with him like how normal couples are. Though she was aware that their journey in the East wasn't a vacation or anything. But a serious business that Fein had to take care of. Because of this, they have something more important.

'But where did he go? We still have seven countries to cover after this.'

As she thought of this, Sofia stood up in her bed. Then her attention was shifted to two plates on the dining table that was still releasing faint white smoke. A smile appeared on her face and he walked towards the dining table.

A thin blood-red cloth covered the top of the dining table. Two white-lit candles could be seen. The two candles released a pleasant scent in the room, which made Sofia feel relaxed.

? Besides the two candles were the two plated foods. Brown garlic rice, sizzling pork, sunny-side-up egg, bacon, and green vegetables.

The sight of the food made Sofia's stomach tremble. So she sat at the table and enjoyed the food and coffee.

After ten minutes, Sofia stood up from the table with a satisfied smile and went toward Aoi and Voli's room

"Aoi, did Fein say where he was going?"

"No. He just said that he had something important to take care of." Aoi shook her head.

"Just where did he go?" Sofia looked on the window, and she could the hustle and bustle outside. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

The hotel where they were is near the market. Most of the customers from the hotel were rich merchants of the market or visitors from other countries.

...

In the red district, walked around while looking at the people that come and go. He was currently in front of a bar.

The red district is an adult area. That's why it forbids people with age 18 and below.

What would Fein do in front of the bar? Of course, to find, seek, specific information. Although his perception is an excellent information-gathering skill. It only acquires general information, ongoing transactions, and some other secrets that come from people's mouths. Not the specific ones he needs.

If Fein needs to find out specific information about the event or people, then he still needs to personally ask someone.

Now, he was in the bar for this. A perfect place for information gathering is like the ones in the novels where the main character would sit and quietly listen! Of course, inns and low restaurants are included. After all, in bars or eateries, all types of people go in. Such as mercenaries, adventures, degu users, people that work in the underworld or grey areas, and even information brokers!

And Fein knew that the bartender in the bar in front of him was a credible, popular information broker in the underworld of East!

How'd he know? He learned of it when he let his perception cover the whole country before...
