Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 98: Philip Baker again.
'Wow, I didn't expect these nobles to be so interesting in their way of making an organization.' Matt thought.
They call themselves the 'Basement Organization'. They work from different parts of the Kingdom, in small and big cities, from private homes, hotels, and inns.
They have a particular way of avoiding the attention of their pursuers: Their main bases are always at the bottom of different mansions, deep in the background, and each base has various mechanisms to open so that no one can easily track them.
In addition, they very often change their location. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Still, there is one location that does not usually change from the ones Matt has been able to find.
'The City of Clans... They leave various orders from that city to this small house and then get sent elsewhere.' Matt thought.
This organization works for the Kingdom, although it does not seem so. They have a big mission to complete in the Kingdom, which they do not say. They were the first to suspect the guild of this city, which was why several people were there. They investigated the guild and discovered several things, but that's as far as information goes.
'They found information about the guild and everything that was going on there, but suddenly they were killed...' Matt thought, and his eyes flashed.
"Shit." He let out a scream as he ran out of this place after grabbing several important scrolls that were in the place.
He had realized something at this instant.
The man they had just seen in the mansion on the city's outskirts didn't go there by chance. He probably already knew where that basement was, and that's why he went to see what was there!
In that place, there was too much information to reveal the location of this house, so Isla and Alice were in danger!
That was why he ran hard upstairs to get out of the house.
Just as he reached the top, a small bird flew through the window and stood on a small shelf on the side.
'A messenger bird?' Matt thought and grabbed what the bird had in its legs.
'The City of Clans?' He thought, besides, there was a red danger sign printed on the small paper, so he was alarmed.
He quickly motioned with his hand to write a few words on another piece of paper and sent it off with the same bird.
At the same time, he took the gloves off his hand and, lit them on fire with some matches from the kitchen, and ran out of the house.
He sighed as he realized that Alice and Isla were okay and approached them.
But he hadn't even gotten there when he heard a voice from the doorway, "Hunter Matthew, Rose One, and Miss Moore?" the voice asked.
Making Matt turn to see who it was.
'Philip Baker.' Matt thought but nodded at him.
"Mr. Philip, I didn't expect to see you here." He replied, and Alice and Isla came to his side.
Philip Baker was not alone; several people were behind him, and they appeared to be guards.
Felipe Baker smiled and approached. "Boy, what are you doing here? We got a report that there was a strange smell coming from this place, so we came to see what it was all about. I didn't expect to find you guys." He said, and Matt nodded.
"To tell you the truth, when we left the guild earlier, Miss Assassin immediately sought us out to investigate the mansion as soon as possible. I think an emergency had happened in her house, so she wanted to finish the mission as soon as possible.
That's why we went there in the afternoon, and in one of the rooms, we found this paper, which gave us this address." Matt said as he pulled out a piece of paper from behind his body.
The paper was written in black ink and said the address of this mansion, but it was written in almost illegible handwriting.
When Philip Baker read this, his first thought was, 'Did a drunk write it?' Since that's the sentiment it gave, still, he nodded.
"Well, you guys work faster than I thought, hahaha." He said, laughing, though he soon stopped laughing, "Still, that's dangerous. You shouldn't go out so freely without informing the guild when it's a mission issued by a master; this time, I won't say anything, but a next time could bring consequences." He said, putting a hand on Matt's shoulder.
"All right, Mr. Philip. Tomorrow, we will finish the report on what we have managed to investigate. And regarding this house... I went in, but I had to leave quickly. Sorry, I am not quite qualified for what is in there.
You can see for yourselves, and you'll understand me." Matt replied with a sincere expression of anger and some sadness mixed in.
It was a genuine expression that made Philip nod, "I can understand that. The smell coming out of there is horrible. It looks like the assassins have done a terrible job this time." He replied.
Matt simply smiled though, 'Killers, huh? Then you know what's in there, Mr. Philip.' Matt thought and then apologized.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Philip. But I will be leaving. I have to meet with Miss Assassin soon to formulate the report that we'll give to the guild as soon as we're done, possibly by two days from now." Matt said.
Philip looked at him for a moment and smiled.
"Well, be careful, Hunter Matthew. Assassins have been rampant around town lately. Please don't die, young man. You have a great future. If you face a problem, you can go find me. I will help you with all my power." Philip said.
After that, they said goodbye, and Matt, Alice, and Isla left the mansion.
After that, they ran toward another section of the city.
Philip watched them go and smiled when he saw them disappear in the distance.
Just then, one of those following him approached his ear and whispered something to him, causing Philip Baker to nod.
At the same time, he looked down at the paper in his hand.
'I didn't expect those guys to have left this address in such a basic place as a room. Tsk, I hope they didn't take anything.' He thought and entered the house, burned the paper in a candle, and continued on his way, oblivious to the corpses on the ground, which were treated harshly under his feet...
