Chapter 126: Auspicious Night (2)

Auspicious Night was divided into two parts. The first one was the first floor, a nightclub-like place, where anyone with enough money and status could enter. Javelin had used his connections to bring Bloed and the others here.

The second part was the upper floors, where the private rooms for important dinner and meetings were located.

There were a total of four upper floors. The higher the floor, the more luxurious the private room, the stricter the security, and the higher the cost.

In terms of safety, the lower floors had D-Ranks and one or two C-Ranks keeping watch. The higher floors, on the other hand, had C-Rank practitioners guarding the stairs, and C-Ranks and B-Ranks stationed on each floor.

Bloed could swear he felt the presence of an A-Rank on the fifth floor.

The fact that an establishment like this had an A-Rank working as a guard was pretty astonishing to Bloed.

Bloed looked at Illina beside him. he could feel that the wolf girl was a bit nervous, and her breathing was uneven.

��Control your breathing." Bloed whispered softly. "You look nervous."

Illina looked at Bloed startled before nodding. "I understand. Don't worry."

Bloed furrowed his brows, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that this girl doesn't blow their disguises later.

Fortunately, Illina's breathing had turned steady when they arrived at Bernard's room.

"I will be the one talking, okay?" Without waiting for Illina's answer, Bloed knocked on the door.

"Come in." A voice said from the inside.

Bloed pushed the door open and entered the room. Then, he moved his gaze through the people inside.

It was just a brief glance, though, so nobody noticed anything strange.

"Sirs, we brought the food you asked for." Bloed said.

"Why did you take so long?" Bernard asked displeased. "It has been almost ten minutes!"

"I'm sorry sir, we prepared it as quickly as possible." Bloed apologized respectfully.

Seeing that, Bernard clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

"Anyway, hurry up, do your job, and leave."

Bloed nodded. He and Illina then started to put the food on the table.

Bloed was a bit nervous during this part. He did not have knowledge about the etiquette used to serve the food, so he was afraid of the people inside noticing something strange. Fortunately, Illina seemed knowledgeable about it, so Bloed just followed her lead.

At the same time, he examined the people inside the room again.

There were six masked people seated around the table, each one accompanied by several guards behind them. Bloed only recognized one of them, Bernard. As for the others, he did not know who they were.

Despite it, Bloed tried to remember as many of their features as possible. Perhaps, he could use these features to identify them later.

When Bloed and Illina finished serving the dishes, they took a step back respectfully.

"We are done, do you need anything else, dear sirs?" Bloed asked.

Bernard waved his hand exasperatedly. "Just go. We will call you again if we need anything."

Bloed nodded and turned around to leave with Illina.

But at that moment–

"Wait."

One of the bodyguards standing behind a man spoke.

Bloed cursed inwardly while making his best to not show any sign of nervousness.

"Yes, sis? How can we be of help?"

The bodyguard smiled and looked at Illina. "It's nothing. I'm just curious about the beautiful miss here. Miss, do you want to have a drink with me later?"

Illina was startled but she quickly recovered her composure and replied with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, sir. I must consult it with my boss first."

"Is it so? I see."

One of the men in the table snorted at that moment. "Jaden, control your men. Do you think this is the place to flirt?"

"Stop fussing, old man. This was nothing more than an innocent joke." The one called Jaden said. He then smiled at Bloed and Illina. "I'm sorry for my subordinate's conduct. Don't worry, you can go."

Illina smiled politely. "It's nothing." Then, she and Bloed left the room.

Once outside, Bloed let out a sigh of relief while looking at Illina in praise for her quick witness.

Then, the pair left the place without mentioning a word.

From this moment, they were in a race against time. The longer they took to leave this place, and the more people they came into contact with, the greater the probability of they being discovered.

They hurriedly walked towards a bathroom, took off their servant clothes, and exchanged them for the set of clothes below, identical to the ones they were using when they arrived at Auspicious Night.

Then, the pair activated the invisibility device and returned to the first floor.

Fortunately, it seemed that nobody noticed their absence or anything wrong with them.

Once there, they made eye contact with Javelin and nodded to indicate that everything was alright. Then, the pair left Auspicious Night.

Less than five minutes after that, they arrived at the meeting place they had accorded before.

"Master."

"Bloed.���

Regina and Liu Ying walked towards Bloed with concerned expressions. When they made sure he was alright, they sighed in relief.

But before Bloed could give them a recount of the situation, Javelin arrived.

"Beautifully done, guys. The plan went without a hitch."

"Unfortunately, everybody was wearing a mask, so I was unable to see their faces." Bloed said.

"You don't need to worry about that, Mr. One." Javelin smiled. "Illina, how is it? Do you find him?"

Illina curved her lips up. "I think so. One of the people inside carried the smell of several human and beastmen children, plus a slight scent of blood and stagnation. If I'm not wrong, he is someone that deals with slaves constantly, that is our target."

"Do you think you can follow his scent?"

Illina nodded. "When I was inside, I blew a very special pheromone on him. It's undetectable for the human nose, but for me, it's like a lighthouse in the dark. I can follow such a scent from five hundred meters away."

"Perfect." Javelin nodded. "We already have a target. However, I'm interested in their conversation, maybe we can learn more about our enemy through that. Mr. One, is the thing you said before ready?"

Bloed nodded and took out a small device from his pocket, putting it on a table.

This device had been recording the conversation inside Bernard's private room.
