Chapter 1287: 1287
Kieran brought Smith and Bloody Mary to Kozert's hideout . The latter ignored the huge bag of spoils of war on Bloody Mary and bowed respectfully to Kieran .
"My lord . "
Kozert straightened his body after the bow and passed Kieran a piece of paper with many words .
At the top of the piece of paper was details about Quaker Wilberst's entire life and his father's reaction after the death .
Quaker Wilberst, one of the victims from before the emergence of the Blood Moon, came from a good family, received elite education since young and also shared the hobbies of those higher class people, things like being skilled in all sorts of sports . He'd also loved attending parties and dinners, and from the records, he seemed to be the center of attention every time he attended .
That was why Quaker Wilberst became the appointed heir to Merchant Wilberst .
And if normal procedures were to be followed, a few years later when Merchant Wilberst got older, Quaker Wilberst would eventually become the head of Wilberst Family .
Unfortunately, following Quaker Wilberst's death, everything popped like a bubble and it infuriated his father beyond words .
The piece of paper even clearly stated how many cups and vases the father broke over the two weeks after losing his beloved son, including his favourite vase .
"Unwilling? Holding back? Or is this another trap?" Kieran speculated .
He didn't draw a conclusion right away .
The imposter house leader from House of K had already given him a warning .
The opponent he had to face this time was much more cunning and special than he had imagined .
After thinking for a while, Kieran gave orders to Kozert .
"Send the merchant an invitation . Ask whether he is curious about his son's death . If he is, tell him to find me on Sheryl Street . "
"Yes, my lord," Kozert bowed and vanished from the room .
After Kozert went off, Smith, who had been quiet all this time, came up to Kieran suddenly .
His habitual silence made him not speak, but Kieran understood what he wanted to say .
"You are nervous? Because you don't know why I helped you to this extent?" Kieran asked .
Smith nodded .
"I saw a chance, so I made my move . I didn't help you intentionally, nor do I request a debt of gratitude," Kieran said calmly .
He didn't emphasize or reinstate anything, as he was just stating the fact .
His answer stunned Smith .
Smith clearly felt that Kieran wasn't lying, and because of that, Smith couldn't accept his help wholeheartedly .
In his mind, he had thought his gifts had caught Kieran's attention, thus the help from him .
Was Kieran a kind person who just wanted to help?
Stop joking .
Anyone who saw Kieran's cold and expressionless face would know that he wasn't a kind and warm-hearted person .
Smith had planned to use his gifts as leverage, and from that point onwards, he even thought of the conditions that he would agree to Kieran and those that he would reject firmly .
However, when he was greeted with the truth, Smith realized that he had been overthinking .
Kieran didn't care about him, nor his gifts or strength .
In simple words, Smith owed Kieran a massive debt of gratitude, and even if Kieran didn't care, it didn't mean that Smith could forget about it .
The people in the world were divided into good and bad .
All sorts of strange personalities existed in different people .
Some people viewed everything that was beneficial to themselves as reasonable while others marked down all the debts of gratitude and try his or her best to repay them .
Smith was the kind of person that was cold on the outside, but warm on the inside kind .
After twisting his body in a nervous and uncomfortable way, Smith finally spilled out the words he had concluded in his mind .
"There must be something that isn't too convenient for you, right? I can help you with…"
Before he could finish, Smith was forced to stop because Bloody Mary, who was beside him, upon receiving Kieran's order, swiftly transformed into Wier, Mier, Lagren and even Smith himself .
