  “Abel’s thoughts are roughly the same as my analysis,”Kant said. “It’s just that we need to gather more information before we can figure out who their first target is.”


  “Leave this to us,”Abel promised. “Soldier can observe the movements in the city while searching for information related to this.”


  “Yes.”Kant nodded. “But it’s important for you to pay more attention to the movements of the city. If there’s any news, you must immediately report it to me.”


  “Yes!”Bunduk and Abel replied.

  “Bunduk, are you alright?”Kant asked worriedly.

  “No problem,”Bunduk said confidently.

  Abel glanced at him but did not say anything.

  “Today’s mission is over. Go take a hot bath and rest well. “Let’s go to the dining room to eat together later,”Kant instructed. “Bunduk, remember to arrange for the kitchen staff to cook medicine for you before the meal.”


  “Got it, Your Highness,”Bunduk agreed.

  When Abel and Bunduk got up and returned to their respective bedrooms, Kant walked to the door of the guest room. He found a waiter and discussed with him the dishes that would be served tonight.

  During dinner time, Kant and Abel arrived at the dining hall early.

  After that, the soldier who came would walk to the dining table where the two of them were. After greeting them, he would walk to his seat and take a seat.

  When the dining table in the dining room was fully occupied, Bunduk arrived late. Meanwhile, Kant and Abel had already inquired about the information that all the soldier had.

  “I’m sorry, I’m late. I didn’t delay everyone’s meal, right?”Bunduk hurriedly walked to the dining table where Kant was and asked apologetically.

  “It’s okay. It’s only served before the meal.”Kant shook his head gently and replied.

  “Did something happen?”After Bunduk sat down, Abel immediately asked.

  “It’s nothing.”Bunduk waved his hand, “When I brought the medicine to the kitchen, someone told me that the place to boil the medicine was actually in the backyard. Right now, the staff doesn’t have any spare manpower, so I need to go there personally.”


  “You’ve been staying in the backyard and working until now?”Abel asked curiously.

  “Yes.”Bunduk drank a mouthful of water, he nodded and said, “There’s a place in the backyard where hot water is boiled, and it’s burned with firewood. It wasn’t easy for me to find a clean pot, so I poured the herbs into the big pot on the stove.”


  “The staff in the kitchen is really boring.”Abel curled his lips and said, “Forget it. We won’t stay here for long anyway.”


  “It’s fine, as long as we don’t miss the meal time,”bandaka said indifferently. “After all, the kitchen is really quite busy.”


  “By the way, before you came, the soldier who went back to the shop reported all the information they had to Kant and me,”Abel said happily. “I didn’t expect that the news that we didn’t catch them would be discovered by the soldiers of the West City.”


  “What News?”Bunduk took a deep breath and asked.

  “Someone discovered that the ‘corrosion’Union in the West City had been secretly selling a homemade drug to the residents of the town. The soldier happened to witness the scene of the people in the union delivering the product to the buyers today. He also heard pick’s name from their conversation,”Abel introduced in detail.

  “The soldier stopped the group of sellers and asked them the truth.”Kant took over Abel’s words and continued, “It was discovered that this pick was actually the raw material supplier of the union’s self-made drug.”


  “Pick…… what raw materials did he provide?”Bunduk was stunned for a moment and then asked.

  “This is a trade secret. We have no way of knowing.”Abel glanced at Bunduk, “The key point of this matter is that there are still people in this city who maintain regular contact with pick. This contact has already been locked down by our soldier.”


  “Judging from pick’s solitary nature, he will definitely come personally to make the handover,”Kant said. “At that time, we will have a chance to catch him.”


  “I see.”Bunduk nodded silently.

  “What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so depressed?”Abel asked in puzzlement. “When King Kant and I heard this news, we were both happy for you.”


  “I…… I don’t know.”Bunduk forced a smile and said, “I just don’t feel at ease.”


  “Pick and the internal members of the guild are scheduled to deliver the goods at the beginning of each month. The time is not fixed.”Kant looked at Bunduk strangely, “It’s already the end of March. Our only chance is at the beginning of April. If we wait until May, by then, Bunduk’s condition should not be able to be controlled.”


  “His Majesty Kant and I are preparing to move most of our manpower to the western city ahead of time to prepare for this operation. Now, only your opinion is left. What do you think?”Abel asked.

  “I think it’s better to stick to the original……”Bunduk was silent for a moment before he said.

  “Why?”Kant asked faintly.

  “Just as you’ve analyzed before, Pick’s actions are ultimately controlled by the decision of the Dark Side. We need to search for more information in the city in order to make timely changes,”Bunduk said.

  Abel and Kant did not reply to Bunduk immediately. Instead, they pondered for a moment. Then, Kant nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll do as you say.”


  “Okay.”Bunduk nodded as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.

  At this moment, the kitchen staff carried the dishes into the dining room and served the dishes for each table.

  Abel seemed to still have doubts about Bunduk’s decision. Even when the deceased who delivered the dishes walked to his side, he did not feel anything.

  The waiter could only try to walk to Bunduk’s side and trouble him to help with the dishes.

  After the dishes were arranged, the waiter said to Bunduk before leaving, “Thank you, Lord Bunduk.”


  Bunduk was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the back of the waiter with puzzlement. He silently said, “How does he know my name?”


  Kant looked at the two people at the table. One of them had a worried expression, while the other had a dull expression. He helplessly raised his wine cup, he said, “Since we’re sitting at the dining table, let’s not keep thinking about business. Come, after we finish this wine, let’s start eating.”


  “Yes.”Abel returned to his senses and agreed. Following Kant’s actions, he raised his wine glass and downed it in one gulp.

  As Bunduk had been taking medicine recently, he had used water as a substitute for wine to complete the pre-meal ritual.
