Chapter 137 - Is There Something That You Are Not Telling Me?

After a few days, the rain finally died down and left behind a city that was flooded.

Everyone stayed at home during the entire time and only when the rain had stopped did people go out to their jobs.

Hecathe also lazed around at home as he limited his time outside and only went out in order to buy food for the Dorgon.

Since some time had passed, the man felt that it was a good idea to move on to his next step and headed to the guild as soon as there was a sunnier day to enjoy.

"What...?!" Kelly frowned as she muttered in disbelief. 

Hecathe had a small smile on his face as he spoke, "Tell the client that Alphius is still in Ocasia." 

Kelly's eyebrows furrowed together as she heard the man repeat his words and she could still not understand what Hecathe was planning. 

"Hecathe, Is there something that you are not telling me?" Kelly asked as she looked at Hecathe with suspicion. 

Hecathe chuckled dryly as he shook his head and felt that this was to be expected. Kelly was a smart woman who let most things slide but it would certainly be impossible for her to not be suspicious of all the needless work Hecathe was putting in on this mission. 

Hecathe had already expected the woman to one day catch on to his secret planning. 

"Miss Kelly, The mission was for us to find the truth behind the rumor, and believe me, that's really what I'm doing," Hecathe spoke with a sigh and it didn't sound like the man was lying in the least. 

"Then why are you purposefully creating confusion and making everything more complicated?" Kelly questioned back as she clicked her tongue. 

"Because confusion and chaos are hard to decipher. You can only find the truth when you learn to dig at the right places," Hecathe responded and Kelly could sense that there was a deeper meaning behind his words, however, she could not understand what he truly meant and this was only natural considering the fact that the woman had no idea about Hecathe's original goals. 

"By the end of it, the truth is going to reveal itself and that is something that I can assure you," Hecathe added and Kelly couldn't help but be curious. 

Hecathe kept talking about the real truth and secrets when the mission at first only involved finding the roots of a ridiculous rumor. It would be a lie to say that Kelly hadn't been curious since day one to know just what exactly this big truth was. 

"So you're not going to tell me what you're planning?" Kelly asked with a scoff. 

Hecathe chuckled softly as he shook his head and responded, "Patience is a great thing. You'll eventually come to know so what's the hurry?"

"..." Kelly pursed her lips into a thin line as she heard this and took a minute to ask, "And you expect me to agree to everything you say because I should trust you...?" 

Hecathe nodded his head and Kelly was left a little speechless. 

"In a guild, trust is a really important factor for a brighter future, don't you think?" Hecathe asked as he tilted his head and Kelly couldn't help but grit her teeth as she heard this. 

"Fine," Kelly agreed with a sigh as she slammed her hands on the table, "I'll go and tell him that but you better have an Alphius kept ready for him. We can't just lie to a client." 

Hecathe nodded his head as he reassured, "Alphius would definitely be there waiting for the great Orgon." 

Hecathe could ensure this only because he had a special connection with the so-called Alphius, but of course, Kelly would naturally not know this. 

"Tell the client this much and give him this address," Hecathe took out a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it on the table before pushing it forward towards Kelly's side as he spoke. 

Kelly took a look at the paper and nodded her head as she picked it up before folding it neatly and keeping it away safely. 

"Okay. As long as you can get the job done, I'll be there to support your crazy ideas but you better get the job done if you don't want to see me freezing you to death," She glared at Hecathe as she spoke and Hecathe nodded his head as he didn't feel intimidated in the least. 

Whenever Kelly was angry, the room would get colder and the sudden coldness would certainly manage to send a shiver down anybody's spine, however, by now, Hecathe was already used to this woman and her anger so the cold hardly bothered him. 

"If you don't see the results then you can just make me work my ass off in this guild for the rest of my life as compensation for my careless plans and actions," Hecathe nodded his head with a small chuckle as he spoke and he clearly meant every word of what he had said. 

"If you are willing to take responsibility then that's good," Kelly rubbed her forehead with a sigh as she spoke and suddenly took out a file from one of the desk drawers as she continued, "If you are up to it then take a look at this." 

Hecathe's eyes narrowed down on the black folder and he picked it up as he opened it to read. 

It took only a few minutes for him to understand what this file was about but the more he read and understood, the more confused he seemed. 

"What's this?" Hecathe asked with a frown. 

"A new case. It's a small case so it won't cause you much trouble," Kelly shrugged her shoulders as she spoke casually. 

"A mecha-suit?" 

Kelly nodded her head as she explained, "There seems to be a mecha-suit going around harrassing random strangers." 

"The guild handles these kinds of jobs as well?" Hecathe asked with surprise as he looked at the woman. 

Kelly shook her head with a sigh as she responded, "We don't usually get a lot of these cases but they are always a pain in the butt when we do. Because it isn't a single client that is coming to us with a problem." 

"Isn't there anyone else who can take the case?" Hecathe asked with a frown. 

"If you can't do it then I'll pass this case on to someone else," Kelly shrugged her shoulders as she spoke, "But since you haven't taken any other cases recently, I thought it would be a good idea to get you out there for some experience." 

"Don't you just want to make me work more so that you can get the value that you paid for?" Hecathe questioned with a scoff as he called the woman out for her true intentions. 

She had paid Hecathe to join the guild so it was only natural that the woman would want to make him work so that she can get the most out of what she paid.

Kelly chuckled dryly as she heard this question and nodded as she confirmed it, "You better take this case." 

"..." 

Kelly was really fit to be a dictator. 

Hecathe sighed as he nodded his head, "I'll take the case since you aren't really leaving me a choice here." 

A small smile curled up on the woman's face as she heard this. 

"You may get going now."

Hecathe nodded once again as he slightly bowed his head and turned around with the file in his hand as he got ready to leave Kelly's office. 

The man opened the door and stepped back a few steps as he saw Marvin and LeiLei falling forward. 

"..." 

LeiLei looked up and blinked as she awkwardly smiled, "We were definitely not trying to overhear your conversation." 

They clearly were doing just that. 

"Of course, you weren't," Hecathe responded sarcastically, "You were simply checking the sturdiness of the door, were you not?"

LeiLei smiled brightly as she heard this and climbed up to her feet enthusiastically as she nodded her head and replied, "There doors are really amazing and thick!~ We couldn't hear anything and we couldn't even break through it."

Hecathe chuckled softly as he heard this and looked down at Marvin who was still on the floor, "Are you not going to stand?" 

Marvin gulped as he heard this and shook his head as he spoke, "It's not that. What is that in your hand?" 

Hecathe raised the file as he questioned and answered without waiting for a response, "This? It's the new mission that we would be working on."

Marvin frowned as he heard this and stood up from the ground as he asked in confusion, "But I just saw a photo of a mecha-suit inside it." 

Hecathe nodded his head as he explained, "We are going to be finding this mecha-suit." 

Marvin was a bit taken back as he heard this and didn't dare say anything. 

"A mecha-suit? Isn't that dangerous?" LeiLei tilted her head and asked innocently with a bit of worry. 

Hecathe smirked as he heard this question and looked back at the woman as he asked, "Do you think there is anything in this world that can be dangerous to us?" 

LeiLei unhesitantly nodded her head, "There are a lot of things actually." 

"..."
