Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 458 Pay Half

The drunk man sitting beside them laughed at her in a slurred tone, but a glare from A was enough to make the man raise his hands in surrender. The drunkard chuckled a few times before he hiccuped and slowly ambled away, making his way upstairs with the waitress he'd been feeling up. Once he was gone, A turned back to Richard.

Now that she knew who he was, she spoke in a low voice so that only he could hear her.

"I called about some information earlier. You said you had something for me about the people hanging around here."

Richard's eyes widened in realization before he smiled apologetically. If he'd known that she was the one who called earlier, he wouldn't have given her as much trouble as he did. But he didn't bother returning the money. Once money changes hands in the underworld, it never comes back.

Richard leaned down to talk to A.

"There's been a lot of weird folk coming in here for a good three weeks now. Thought they were just some fools who didn't know what this place was, but after one of them killed a man who tried to rob him, no one messes with them anymore. They're obviously superhuman, but they aren't causing any trouble other than making everyone nervous.

The owner takes them out to the back, and they disappear back there for days before coming out again."

A furrowed her brow in confusion.

"Do you know what they're doing back there?"

Richard shrugged.

"Not a clue. The owner is very hush-hush about it. He doesn't even let anyone go back there other than the strange folk. But there's something I noticed a few days ago. Something big."

A waited for the man to say what this thing was, and when she realized that he wasn't going to say anything more, she frowned.

If she told GHOST about Sasha being here, then she could leave the rest of the investigation up to him. A didn't want to be caught in the battle that could occur if both Sasha and Gunter were confronted by GHOST here.

Ring~ Ring~ Ring~

The phone rang for a while, and A furrowed her brow as she thought that GHOST wasn't going to pick up. She ducked into an alleyway on the left, and she was about to cut the phone and call again when GHOST finally picked up.

[You have something?]

Mark was lying in bed with Arit when he got the call. He had just finished fighting against a calamity that appeared a few streets away from the hotel, and since he was not exhausted at all, he was still awake even though Arit had already gone to sleep.

Arit moaned from beside him when he spoke and she turned around and opened her sleepy eyes. Arit asked him what was going on and Mark kissed her forehead and told her it was nothing, he would be back to bed soon.

Arit smiled and closed her eyes again as Mark got off the bed and walked out of the room. Mark went to the living room and then walked out to the patio that overlooked the city below. He scratched his hair calmly and watched the people moving through the streets while listening to what A was saying.

Mark had been expecting this call from A for some time now. He gave her the job of finding information about Gunter and Fiona about a month ago after failing to find anything through the first guy that he contracted, and Mark was already expecting her to tell him that she didn't find anything either. But he was surprised when she didn't say that.

Instead, she told him that there was something serious.

"I met with a man in the slums of City B. It's a wretched place, but you can trust the information he gives. They don't lie as long as you pay the right amount." Read the latest on empire

[Alright, what is it?]

"First the money. You need to send half before I can tell you."
