Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Routine (1)

Deculein’s last command was to ‘wait’ in January.

There were hundreds of informants at the time. They were based in Oklan, the underworld, and other shady areas.

Ren was one of the organization’s main pillars.

However, Deculein’s orders were cut off at some point, leaving them with no guidance or support.

With no money— the factor that united them— to back them up, their numbers dwindled from three digits to two digits in a month. Another month after that, only two of them were left.

They each went to different places.

Ren and Enen had nowhere else to go.

The siblings remained in the dirty cave, waiting, just in case, for the return of their master.

Of course, material reasons factored in on their decision. Since the number of members had decreased, they thought that the promised compensation would also increase significantly…

Ren and Enen bathed away the dirt on their bodies and wore the suits that Deculein bought directly from a tailor shop. Those were the first high-quality fabrics they had ever felt graze against their skin.

After that, they trimmed their hair at the salon.

Embellishment proved to be their best disguise.

Ren and Enen entered the Yukline mansion as completely different people.

Deculein introduced them as his ‘new direct servants.’ At the same time, the warehouse built on his vast land was neatly remodeled into a private residence.

“… Huh.”

Enen, the younger of the two, looked at the mansion with surprise in her eyes. It was the first time in her life she’d be living in such a clean, colorful and refreshing residence.

“I can have a dog here.”

“Oh my god, this mansion has a front and backyard.”

Did such a place really exist on the continent?

“… You shouldn’t have done that.” Ren reprimanded Enen, but she didn’t answer.

Her cheek that he slapped was still swollen.

“Did it hurt?”

“Why wouldn’t it?”

“… Still, you shouldn’t say things like that. At least in front of the master.”

Although they weren’t paid for six months, they persisted in fulfilling the orders he had given.

If there was nothing to eat, they ate rats, and they did everything themselves because they didn’t have money to hire people.

“Do you still believe in the master?” Enen asked.

Ren shook his head.
