I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 105's

“Uncle Leonard!”

“Oh, Winter. Did you find the culprit?”

“Uncle I interrogated the culprit and he's one of the shadow soldiers, he didn't tell me who paid him to do that but this guy seems to know something about Miss Leathina's disappearance.”

“How can Winter? Where is that person now quickly take me there.” Duke Leonard immediately moved from his place and was about to get out of his room to meet the criminal referred by Winter.

“Uncle, I'm sorry but unfortunately this person has been killed for disclosing information.”

“Gosh we lost the clue, Winter.” Hearing Winter's words made Duke Leonard lose the strength of his legs and fall back on his chair.

“I'm sorry uncle, I should have tightened the dungeon guard until we don't miss out like this.”

“It's okay Winter, you've worked hard.”

“Thanks uncle.”

“Did you find a clue, or something this guy said we could use as a clue?”

“Roland had said that there were people who took Leathina to their headquarters and hid her there, he said, before Roland died he also said that Leathina would stay in the border town but had not had time for Roland to finish his remark appeared the person disguised as one of the guards and stabbed him right in his chest, uncle.”

“Did you catch the man who killed him?”

“No uncle, the person who killed him also died of poison.”

“God what kind of joke is this, why my daughter Leathina can get to be with them.”

“Uncle, we must act immediately before they bring Leathina even further.”

“Follow you said Winter, go to the border town of Nicholas must have reached there and start the investigation you follow Nicholas and bring some soldiers but try not to let anyone know of your departure, I'll write a letter to Nicholas immediately to inform him of the situation.”

“Good uncle I will go undercover with my subordinates.”

After she finished delivering her report Winter immediately came out and prepared for her departure to the border town to find out Leathina's whereabouts.

“Master Winter, we will be soon until I will walk ahead and find lodging for us to stay for a while, it is already almost midnight.” One of Winter's subordinates wanted to find an inn so that they could instantly get a place to rest when they reached the city they had come to.

“No need Ben, Nicholas has archived everything for us.” Said winter while waving his hands at a man waiting for them at the border.

After almost a day's journey to the border town Winter and her people finally reach the border town.

“Mr Winter, finally you get to.” Nicholas welcomes Winter after meeting at the border gate.

“Nicholas, you can call me Winter. I'm in disguise now.” Winter spoke while jumping down from his horse.”

“Oh, alright Winter.”

“So Nicholas, have you found anything?”

“Follow with me first after that I will tell you everything, we will attract attention if continue to stand at the border gate like this, oh and the horses you put here later there will be someone I have asked to take it later, we will walk from here to the inn.”

“Good.”

Nicholas walked first followed Winter and his people, after walking far enough they finally arrived at an inn in the middle of the city.

“You brought a few people, Winter.”

“Is the situation so bad that you're worried about the abilities of my people Nicholas? Take it easy we can ask the local guard for help.”

“No, it's not like that you know I found information that around here there is a shadow army headquarters, I have received a letter from my father and explained everything in the letter.”

“True, did you find the Location?”

“I haven't found it yet, but we can pretend to want to use their services and observe it.”

“Do you know where we go if you want to use their services?”

“Sore earlier I walked in the slums and found a person who he said could take us to their headquarters as long as it was rewarded.”

“You're sure that person won't lie and trap us?”

“No, I'm sure one hundred percent.”

“Alright, if you're sure it's Nicholas I and my friends will rest for a while.”

The next day Winter and Nicholas are preparing to meet the person who will show them where the location of the shadow army headquarters is.

“You're coming?” said a little boy when Nicholas had just entered the alley.

“Hey, son so do you really know where I can meet people from the shadow army.” Winter spoke while looking at the boy in front of him.

“Of course I know, but I won't tell you if you don't pay me.” Say the boy while crossing his arms over his chest.

“This is your payment and I will give you again if your work is done.” Nicholas threw a bag of money at the boy.

“That's a lot, well follow me I'll show you the way there.”

Nicholas followed the boy out of the alley to the main road, then paused and waited for a freight train to pass in front of him.

“Uncle! Uncle! I want to hitchhike to the village with you is it okay?” the boy shouted to stop the coachman and asked permission to board his carriage.

“Luis, I warned you not to play around in that village. There is dangerous even more rumors there is a nest of criminals.” Said the coachman warning the boy who stopped him earlier.

“But you stay to sanakan uncle.”

“That's because uncle works to deliver goods there.”

“Uncle take this, and let us ride.” The boy called Luis gave some money to the coachman to let him ride.

“Alright go up then, but if anything happens to you it's none of my business huh.”

“Of course uncle, don't worry, These two people will come with me.” Luis spoke while pointing at Winter and Nicholas.

Luis immediately jumps aboard the train followed by Winter and Nicholas, the three of them travel to one of the abandoned villages and half the population has left the area because it is often entered by monsters and other dangerous animals because it is too close to the border.

“Our uncle got off here.” Shouted Luis as he jumped down and was back followed by Winter and Nicholas.”

“Why do we get off here?” Nicholas asked as he looked at his surroundings which were filled with trees without looking at anyone else.

“You saw the roof of the mansion.” Luis shows a top of the mansion not far from where they are.

“That is the headquarters of the shadow soldiers, the Uncle was going to deliver the goods there, and we must not enter, if we force then they will directly kill you.” Spoke Luis while scaring Winter and Nicholas.

“Alright, I have finished my work showing you guys the headquarters of the shadow soldiers so give me my pay now.”

“Luis, where did you find out that there was their headquarters?”

“I've heard it from my father, when selling information on someone.”

“Where is your father now?”

“He was killed along with the person who bought his information after selling this information.”

“Are you not afraid of being killed?” ask Winter to Luis.

“Take it easy, they won't kill me because I'm still a kid. But after I reach adulthood they might hunt me.” Luis answered Winter's question casually.

“You don't taku Dead.” Ask Nicholas again to Luis.

“When or later I will surely die, street children like me rarely survive and live long even though there must only live on the streets or be slaves. So if I can enjoy the money from selling this information why not, hand over my payment now.”

Nicholas then handed Luis another bag of money, and after Luis received his payment he immediately left Winer and Nicholas.

“Hey, do you know until when the red-haired girl stayed at the headquarters?”

“I don't know, But he said the girl was deliberately brought to the headquarters to smbunyikan.”

Suddenly the conversation of two people who were on the way to the old mansion made Winter and Nicholas immediately meet behind the bushes while listening to the chatter of two people who were passing them.

“You heard it?” Nicholas asked Winter after the two passed by.

“Yes I heard it and the woman they mean is definitely Leathina, Come we should immediately return to the city and do the siege.”

“Why don't we just go there, we're already here.”

“Do not be careless Nicholas mansion is their headquarters and of course in there are many killers if we go directly there now we will end up being easy prey for them so now we must return to the city.”

“Good.”
