Chapter 787: The Real Scum Of The World
Chapter 787: The Real Scum Of The World
The hardest part about going up against one of the commanders of the Glory Guild would be the fact that they spent most of their time in the guild base, which meant they would be surrounded by a high number of people at all times.
Currently, outside, both Kelly and Harvey were sitting at a convenience store eating together. She was in casual clothing for the weekend, while Harvey was still wearing a hoodie covering his head.
“I understand that we can’t go around in our robes telling everyone who we are, but don’t you think wearing a hoodie like that makes you look a bit too old? You look like one of those fake undercover cops,” Kelly commented.
“Although I’m not famous or a movie star, it would be dangerous for me if I were spotted or recognized, and it could jeopardize our position,” Harvey explained. “If you get caught, you could drop out of school and be on the run.”
“But at the moment, most of the Dark Guild and its operations work because I’m still in my position.”
There was less ambiguity between the two now. They both knew each other’s real jobs, positions, and could guess each other’s ages. The only thing they didn’t know, or ever spoke about, was why the other had started to learn Dark Magic.
What deep reason had forced them to learn such a thing? And it was something they didn’t want to talk about regardless.
“Right, I’m just helping you out, telling you not to follow someone like that in the future.” “Let’s focus on the task,” Harvey said as he pulled out a tablet. It was one of the devices that belonged to the office, so it allowed him to log into the server and gather whatever information he needed.
“The man’s name we’re after is Bronk Scornell. A commander in the Glory Guild and someone who’s been there since its inception. He originally joined the Glory Guild wanting to be a part of something big. He’s a strong mage, but he has his dark side, as do all these sick f*cks,” Harvey said.
Harvey scrolled down, and further information was revealed. Kelly was quite surprised that someone in the guild had a criminal record and that it wasn’t made public, or at least there was no public outcry about it.
“Bronk was quite well known and was the leader of his own guild. He had a falling out with his wife, or I should say a lot more than that. He was caught having sex with one of his guildmates. Apparently, Bronk had set up the guild just to have it as one giant orgy.”
“His wife found out and was going to go to the press to ruin her husband, who had been doing it behind her back under the guise of sex work for years. In the end, he blew her brains out with his magic.”
“Of course, he used the funds of the entire guild to cover up the mess, but the guild had to be disbanded. Although it was never made public, the guilds were aware of this, and no one accepted him until the Glory Guild came along.”
“I’m guessing Bronk was just too good of a talent for Enaxx to pass up.”
“So you think he’ll know more about Enaxx because he was there from the beginning?” Kelly asked.
“That’s one reason, but the other is because scum follows scum, and they feel more comfortable with their own kind. Most likely, Enaxx knows all about this, and I’m hoping he’s shared some things with Bronk as well. Neither of them would rat each other out.”
As the two were talking, a black cat jumped up and landed on the table.
“Sophie, you’re back. So you managed to find out where he lives or at least a place where he stays that isn’t so crowded?” Kelly asked.
Kelly then opened up a notepad and placed a pen down. Sophie started to focus, and with her magic, the pen was lifted up, and she began to write down all types of details.
“This is good, this is great. With you just being a cat, you can follow anyone, and no one will think anything different!” Harvey said excitedly. “You have a lot of uses. Maybe the most dangerous places like guilds and such would still be bad-they’ll kill anything, and I’ve seen my fair share of psychopaths targeting cats. It’s always the cats first for some reason, but still, it’s going to make our jobs a lot easier.”
Harvey looked at the address and then picked up the phone.
“I’m going to make sure the area’s cleared, just in case things get messy. I can hold off a police force coming for a while, but we need to deal with this quickly, so is everyone ready?” Kelly nodded, and Sophie gave a small meow.
Bronk had cheerfully come home. He lived in a cul-de-sac neighborhood that was away from the high-rise apartments and shops. He couldn’t stand being in the city center because he felt there were just too many eyes on him.
Coming back, he had parked his car just in front of his house. Opening the door, he then held out his hand, and a lady took it as he pulled her up.
“I didn’t realize you were such a gentleman. You need to be careful; otherwise, I might start to think you’re trying to keep me forever.”
Bronk and the female headed toward the door, and even on the way there, the two of them couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Bronk kept swiping his hand around her tight-fitting red dress, sliding his fingers between certain creases.
Pushing the door open, the two of them rushed inside. As they walked into the main living room, Bronk paused.
“Who are you?” Bronk said.
“My, my, my, what’s the matter? You didn’t want to show the new girl how much of a scum you are?” Harvey said, sitting down in a chair right in the center of the living room.
“Bronk, what is the meaning of this? What is all of this?” the woman asked as she looked around the room.
Holograms appeared, showing photos of Bronk with various women and also the women who had been killed, all under his thumb.
“Now, we can either do this the simple way, or we can make things complicated. I have something I need to know, and if you don’t give me an answer, the whole world will find out the scum you are,” Harvey said with a smile.
