<h4>Chapter 240 - Important Guests</h4>


    "What?" Smith asked with a confused expression, not expecting us to ask such a question.


    "You heard me, where''s the mayor''s treasury?" us looked at him coldly.


    "It''s in the vi." Smith said hurriedly.


    "I know it''s in the vi, I just need to know where?" us had the urge of smacking him in the face.


    "That...that...you see." Smith tried to look for a way to evade the question.


    "Trying to avoid the question? The funny thing is that your life depends on the answer I get." us shrugged.


    He could guess the area where the mayor''s treasury was located, but it would take a lot of time to pinpoint its actual location. Why go through that stress when he could just get the location from Smith?


    Hearing the threat, Smith gulped and threw a nce at Richard, hoping that he might be able to say something that would save them.


    "I see no reason why you''re cing your hopes on someone who can''t even save himself, much less, you." us followed his gaze and realized he was staring at Richard.


    Smith refused to tell him the location of the mayor''s treasury.


    "It''s not even yours, why are you protecting it that much?" us was left stumped by his stubbornness.


    ''I''ll do that to the other guy, that should scare him.'' he thought.


    "Hey Grey, hope there''s no way for sounds to get out of this ce?" He asked to confirm.


    He was nning on using his self-named technique, the nutcracker. It has been a while since he used it, but it looks like it''s time to bring out the big guns once again.


    "Yeah, Void isted the ce." Grey nodded.


    When he saw us'' smile after getting confirmation, he immediately knew he was nning to do something evil. Seeing the position Richard was in, a chill went down his spine, ''Don''t tell me he''s about to use ''that''?''


    He got to affirmation when he saw us preparing for a run-up, "Alice, you shouldn''t watch this."


    Grey and Reynolds hastily turned around. Thinking about it always scares them, watching someone experience it scares them even more. Alice nodded and turned around as well.


    "If you don''t speak, you''ll be the next." us said before running in Richard''s direction.


    "Why are youing towards me? Stay away!" Richard yelled.


    He had a bad premonition about what us was about to do to him.


    Smith stared wide-eyed as us got close to Richard whose leg was wide opened. That was when he saw one of the scariest things of his life, us drew his right foot backward, before releasing a frightening kick to Richard''s crotch region.


    Bam! Crack!


    The sound of something cracking rang out in the garden.


    Richard''s premonition came to pass as an unbearable pain came from his crotch region. He didn''t pass out immediately from the pain.


    "Ah..." He screamed at the top of his lungs.


    The shock and the pain he was feeling were what finally knocked him out. This was a pain that staying conscious made worse, so it was better if he passed out. He didn''t even care if he was killed in the process, he just wanted the pain to stop.


    "Heh! Never gets old." us looked at Richard with a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt.


    ''Someday, this technique will be known all over the world.'' thought us.


    "You see that? Now start talking." us said pointing at Richard, when he saw Smith''s expression, he added, "Also, unlike what he''s currently going through, I''ll make sure you don''t pass out, and feel double the pain."


    Smith almost fainted on the spot, if he hated us previously, now, he dreaded him. us was the most psychotic person he had ever seen. How would a guy do this to another guy when he fully knows how much it hurts?


    us slowly started approaching Smith, preparing to start his run-up.


    "There''s a secret passageway in my father''s room. You''ll find the treasury there." Smith blurted out everything he knew.


    He told us how to get to the mayor''s room without being spotted. But since it was alreadyte, the mayor would most likely be in his room.


    When the group previously came to the vi, other than when they were inspected at the gate, and when the servants brought the food over, they didn''t see others. They haven''t encountered any other guards nor servants. They were quite surprised about this and couldn''t help but ask Smith the reason for this.


    The answer Smith gave to them was that most of them were dismissed by the mayor. ording to him, the mayor seemed to be expecting some important guests, and having too many people in the vi wasn''t a good thing.


    "This seems suspicious." said Alice.


    "Yes, we need toplete what we want to do and leave immediately." Grey said seriously.


    He recalled how the guards checked the carriage properly before letting them in, making it all click. Since the mayor was being that thorough with the people who entered the vi, it was a testament to how important the guests were.


    "Yeah." us nodded.


    "Who are these important guests?" Grey tried to see if Smith knew the people.


    "I don''t know." Smith answered.


    From his response, Grey guessed he wasn''t lying. He also thought of the possibility of him being a good liar as well.


    "Okay, now that his question has been answered, I have one as well. Do you still have more of this wine?" Grey asked pointing at the wine jug.


    "Yes, such an important item, to think I forgot about it. Well, do you?" us lightly smacked his head when he heard this.


    He also thought of asking for more of the wine, but the coins came first.


    "Yes, I have one more jug in my room, and there should be others in the treasury." Smith nodded hastily.
