Chapter 271
Dudian's eyes swept over the old man and number 3 . He indifferently said: " Nicholas Donald . This year is going to be fifty-eight years old . You have been imprisoned for nine years . His father was an arrogant noble's butler and died early because of kidney problems . At seventeen years old Nicholas began to manage the noble family's affairs and assests . At the age of twenty-three he had secretly transferred all the property of the aristocrat family and resigned . He was sued by the noble family and his assets were taken back by the magistrate . At twenty-five years of age he was employed by a wealth businessman . In about three years all the industries under that businessmen were transferred to your name . In a day you changed from a servant to a well-known and rich business . But you didn't have good reputation in commercial district . "
"You were always concerned about the hostility and exclusion of aristocracy so you tried to buy your identity with gold . You were successful in joining the noble family but was betrayed by the son and daughter-in-law of the family . You were detained by the magistrate and sent to Thorn Flower Prison . Life imprisonment!"
The old man's face slightly changed and he said in a gloomy tone: "You are quite careful about your investigation . "
Dudian turned towards the brawny man . He looked at number 3: "Sergei . . . Thirty-two years old . Have been imprisoned for 7 years . You were a senior hunter under the command of Krylov consortiu, . You had graduated from hunter college with brilliant records . During the 16 year of service to Krylov consortium you had brought them good wealth . You were able to kill seventeen high level monsters . You have assimilated the magic marks from a rare beast which is ranked in top ten . The 'Steel dragon . ' You were a knight as a hunter and had a bright future . However because of repeated offense against the first beauty of Krylov consortium, Granita, you were arrested on charged of 'attempted rape' and was thrown in Thorn Flower Prison . Term: 30 years of imprisonment . "
Number 3 looked back at him but didn't speak .
Dudian indifferently continued: "I have spent one hundred thousand gold coins to bail out both of you . Now that you are bailed out, I'll become an enemy with Krylov consortium because of 'conspiracy' . You guys need to make up for that price . "
Nicholas sneered: "You know my past . In addition to falsification of account I haven't done anything . Moreover, even before the jail I wasn't able to earn hundred thousand gold coins . Now I'm old and don't have the ability even if I tried . . . "
Dudian indifferently replied: "That is not a matter that you should be worried about . You just have to listen my orders and complete the tasks on time . "
Sergei looked at the girl who was sitting opposite to him . He turned towards Dudian: "She . . . The inner wall . . . What did she do?"
Dudian lightly said: "She was member of the organisation which caught and imprisoned you . "
Sergei's pupils shrank: "Is she a disciplinary knight?"
Nicholas was startled as the only organisation that he was afraid was magistrate . Actually everyone within the wall were afraid of them . He didn't expect that the woman sitting on his side was a former member .
Number 1's hair shook but her expression was invisible .
Dudian slowly said: "Gwyneth . This year she is going to be seventeen years old . . . "
"Seventeen?"
"Seventeen!"
Sergei and Nicholas cried out in surprise before Dudian was able to finish . They would never imagined that the slim figure sitting close to them would be a 17 year old girl!
Dudian paused for a moment then continued: "She was honored by a Sun Medal from the magistrate . She was hunting down senior level criminal hunters . There is no information about her parents, birthplace or family . She has been imprison for three years on charge of 'murdering the nobility'"
Sergei as a senior hunter was informed about the disciplinary knights of the magistrate . They were terrorizing existences that were seasoned on imprisonening hunters . Normally, silver medal disciplinary knights would hunt after senior level hunters . Even for a seasoned senior hunter, it would be very difficult to escape silver disciplinary knights if they encountered them . The golden disciplinary knight were very rare . Escaping away from them was impossible for senior hunters . According to the rumors they were existences which had passed the limits of human evolution . "
However, even such a person was imprisoned .
Moreover her age was soo small . Did she began to practice combat the moment she learned walking?
Dudian looked at Gwyneth and calmly said: "I have investigated the aristocratic family you had conflict with . The Porter family is still within the inner wall . Their business interests extends to outer wall area of the commercial district . I can help you if you want to destroy their family but you must first help me out . If you list to my orders then its not a dream but will become a reality . In addition even if you killed me and escaped you will be caught before you know . Neither magistrate nor nobles would allow an existence of such a level to lurk freely outside .
Gwyneth was silent as a stone scultpure .
Nicholas and Sergei glanced at her but kept silent .
The carriage came to the border fortress . Coachman handed out the clearance letter from the prison and their smoothly entered the commercial district .
Dudian looked at the trio: "It seems that your fates are connected to mine . I wish for a happy future cooperation for all of us . "
All three of them bowed their heads and were silent .
Nicholas sighed: "I didn't expect such an outcome . It seems I am really getting old . "
Dudian smiled in return .
Nicholas shook his head and no longer said anything .
Dudian directly went to his own castle by the riverside . He looked at the others and focused on Nicholas: "You will be my butler from now own . But you should forget about your playful identity from the past or else make sure that I don't find out anything . " Afterwards he got off the carriage .
Everyone followed him into the castle .
"Before beginning to work under me, you are going to solve your own trouble . " Dudian said .
"What trouble?" Sergei frowned .
Nicholas's eyes lit up: "Do you mean that we have to through wash white our identities?"
Dudian nodded: "Yes the eyes of the mahor consortia would be staring at me . The information about your bail out will be leaked so they use tricks to play you out to fight against me . You should be prepared to face the first wave of problems . "
Sergei sneered and said in an arrogent tone: "I would like to see who dares to attack us!"
Dudian strenly looked back at him: "The assassination techniques of number 1 and yours won't work . Don't even think about that! "
Sergei frowned as he looked at Gwyneth: "Hey . Did you tried to assassinate or killed the noble?"
Gwyneth's long hair was slightly blown by the wind but she acted as if she hadn't heard him .
Sergei face slightly changed but didn't react more .
Nicholas stared at Dudian: "We have been detained for too long and as a result we are out of touch with the outside world . Moreover, it is impossible to fight against at the same time with all the six consortia . How would we accomplish something like that?"
Dudian indifferently smiled: "I will see your performance first . Moreover its your first day out of the prison . You should go wash and rest for now . " Afterwards Dudian looked at Scar and Jin: "You guys should rest too . I'll help you to pull out the spikes . "
Sergei frowned: "What about me?"
"You and number one should keep them for now . It is best not to pull them out without authorization from me . Just to let you know I don't mind nailing them again . "
Sergei's heart sank . He knew that Dudian was afraid of his strength so he was going to keep spikes to contain them . After sometime when Dudian would come up with new methods then he would make sure that the spikes are pulled out .
Same night .
Dudian had hired a cook to make the dishes . Moreover he had brought the youngest two maids from the Ryan family to serve them . Both of them were standing by the table . Dudian took the lead and sat on the top seat . He could sense through smell that Nicholas and Sergei were together while Gwyneth and others were in other parts of the castle . They were rushing over .
Jin and Scar were the first to join him at table . Jin was a Knight of Light but because of his family mistakes he was exempt from the duty and imprisoned for atonement of his sins . Scar was a primary hunter . The cause of his imprisonment was regrettable . One when he had returned back to his house Scar had found an aristocrat from the consortium had forced and rapid his wife and daughter . Under the rage he had killed the noble and was imprisoned .
Fortunately, this family wasn't an influential one . The death of the members of the aristocratic family didn't cause a great sensation or else Scar would be dead by now .
Both of them came over and sat a bit away from Dudian .
Dudian looked at them but didn't say anything .
After a moment, Nicholas and Sergei also joined them . After wearing the new clothes their looks and temperament was totally different to the previous looks . Nicholas was tortured and skinny but his gaze was like of a hawk's and seemed as a quite capable person . He was wearing a butler's dress . Sergei was wearing guard's uniform . The strong muscle lines of his body were highlighted even after years of torture and 'diet' of the prison . The body muscles haven't shrank and it was the result of 'Steel dragon's magic marks .
