Chapter 155 Chapter 155 – The Storage
Nick dropped the corpse onto the ground.
Then, he took out the Peddler Storage Token and showed it.
"I found this storage token on him," Nick said. "I presume you've seen this guy before?"
The two looked at the token with worry.
They were not allowed to give out any data from their customers.
Although...
This customer was dead.
"Yes," one of them said, eliciting a nervous glance from the other one.
Nick nodded. "I want to access the storage, and I don't want to get led to a fake room. I am from the Dregs. I know what you guys deal in, and if a level two Extractor is storing something here instead of the Inner City, it must be bad."
The two guards looked at each other in nervousness.
"Please, follow me," one of them said, opening the door behind him.
Nick nodded. "I'll leave the corpse here. If anything is missing from it when I return, I'll go home with a second corpse. I can afford to spend 15,000 credits on a tantrum."
The guards swallowed again, and one of them called a couple of colleagues to watch over the corpse.
The other guard then entered the warehouse while being followed by Nick and his two "companions".
"You're sure we took the right turn just now?" Nick asked coldly.
The guard swallowed.
He turned around and looked at Nick's narrowed eyes.
"M-may I see-see the token again?" he asked, holding out his shaking hand.
Nick slowly placed the token in the guy's hand.
The guy looked at the token.
"Ex-excuse me. I made a mistake just now," the guard said carefully as he handed the token back.
Nick glared at him.
Nick had used the storage service of the Peddlers in the past, and he knew that they would never store important things upstairs, which was where the guard had just wanted to lead Nick.
Something stored by an Extractor had to be stored in the basement.
Sure enough, the guard led Nick and the others into the basement.
After a bit of walking, everyone stopped in front of a metallic door.
"This is the door," the guard said, his body still shaking. "We value our customers' privacy. So, we don't know what's behind this."
"Open it," Nick commanded.
"Of course," the guard said with a polite but nervous smile as he took out a couple of keys.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
As soon as the door opened, the panicked voice of a small child came out of the room.
Nick narrowed his eyes.
Jonathan and Kiara became shocked.
"Please," the guard said with a polite tone as he gestured to the door.
Nick unceremoniously pushed the door open and walked inside.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please! I'll do anything! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!"
When the three of them saw what was in the room, they had to take deep breaths, and even Nick's heart sank.
In the back of the room was a rickety bed.
On the left side of the room were some pieces of bloody metal and some bloody scissors.
The corner of the room had some piss and shit in it.
And in another corner was a cage.
Inside the cage was a little girl with several wounds on her body.
