Chapter 15 - Interrogation begin

Igor walked beside Vaterian, Viridiana is not following him. "Where is Miss de Montferrat? I thought you chose to save her instead of helping me, don't let me wonder that you can't even handle this simplest job." Vaterian questioned Igor about the hostage, he was also unhappy that Igor not helping him.

"Miss Viridiana and her father already being transferred into a room safely, loosening up a knot is not really a challenge for me, but satisfying you is truly a trouble. I trusted you could handle the fight by yourself, and you end up just letting him escape. Without me laying the trap you thought you would ever have the chance to catch him?" Igor made a counter-argument against his unhappy master.

"Fine, at least you get nothing wrong on this, but more security measures never made things worst. Risking letting the wolf back to its pack, just for an earlier hero time is not a good trade for me." Vaterian disagreed with Igor's opinion, however, it's not Igor who let the man escape, so he didn't keep hanging on to this issue.

"You continue to take care of Viridiana and his father, also not to forget to tie this man up, I needed him to fulfil my curiosity. In the meanwhile I will take the owner here, I also need to know the reason behind why he lends a helping hand to those guys." Vaterian went downstairs while leaving instructions to Igor.

"Is he always like that? A bit too…inhumane and rational?"

"He might be a bit more naïve back in the time, but I had no idea. Since I knew him, he had always been in this way. And I did tell you don't ask so much about it right? Miss Viridiana."

Viridiana appeared beside Igor, asking about Vaterian's past. Igor partially reply to her question and warned her once again.

"You know this will only make a woman more curious right? But I will take your advice this time. I'm more curious about how do you know I'm in danger? I never sent a message to you; not like I had the time to do so." Asked Viridiana.

"It's not that hard to guess it, there are more than 10 persons in the caravan and yet only 3 persons had their dinner. Neither did the Inn is filled with voice and sound, I believe the relationship between your employees shouldn't be that bad right? Furthermore, there was a basement if our ears function correctly, it might be where the rest being locked." Igor explained it to Viridiana and told her their prediction.

"You may hand the rest of the job to us and back to your room, enjoy your time with your father. We will be back when we have done all our job." Igor bowed to Viridiana and led her back to her room, the thing that would happen later might be too bad for her to witness it, even worst than the blood and bodies laid in the nearby room.

After letting Viridiana go back to her room, Igor tied the man up as Vaterian wished. By the time Vaterian reached here, Igor just finished the knot. Following Vaterian were a bunch of people, they were following Vaterian silently and went into the other empty room on the third floor, what made Igor curious were their chaotic step. Before he ever asked about it, Vaterian turned toward him and spoke.

"You take care of the owner, at the last room on the right side, and I will take care of this guy. Let's go down there on the second floor to do our job, letting the others hear their screaming might not be a good idea for their mental health."

Vaterian carry the man on his shoulder like he was a cargo, but Vaterian can't tell the difference between cargo and the man, they were both loaded with Information. He brought the man to the room beside where the owner stayed, after making sure Igor get in the right room, he threw the man onto the chair in the room.

"Wake up you bastard! I knew you already waken when I still talking with my friend, I guess you try to save your life by faking death, but you know that the owner had quite a lot of experience hiding bodies right? If you keep staying silent, I don't think the owner would mind having an additional body buried under his basement!" Obviously, Vaterian had already been into the basement and what he saw was just fascinating for him.

"I never expected to find a bunch of dead bodies instead of a living person in the basement, my hunting hound would take there as his perfect playground. But for me, it's nothing more than hell. Luckily the crew from de Montferrat was locked in the wine cellar instead of buried under the ground, so I didn't need to carry them one by one. Those Alpinian were also able to enjoy their favourite wine all day long." Although Vaterian said it is good news, he was not happy about the crew being so drunk down there, when he risked his life saving them.

"Anyway, it's time to wake up, I study a bit of anatomy before, I promise you I will aim at non-lethal part." Vaterian punched the man on his stomach, forcing him to vomit out all the stuff he has eaten.

"Let me see, not as fun as I thought, it's just some pork and beer. I was expecting something more disgusting from the owner, like meat from his victim. Apparently, he somehow kept his humanity in a rather strange way."

The man shakes his head to regain a clear mind he raised his head and asked "Who are you? What do you want from me?" The man looked at Vaterian with fear, he still remembered how easily this teenager took out all his teammate.

Vaterian walked in front of the man and pet the man's cheek "well, well. Look at how cute a person we had here, showing his foolishness. Look at my finger, three fingers were showing to you, right? But sorry once he reached your face it would be zero!"

As the last word came out from Vaterian mouth, Vaterian knock the guy to the wall. The man flew to the wall and knocked heavily on it, even the wall was breached, Igor and the owner were staring at the head on the floor, but soon Vaterian pulled the man out and paid his apology.

"Sorry to disturb your friendly Interview, I will make sure to not happen for the second time, I hope you had a good time with my friend, just remember those guys being trapped under your basement would always be willing to accuse you, so stayed honest," Vaterian said to the owner while smiling and staring at him, the owner swallowed his saliva and nod his head, Vaterian soon covered the hole with the cupboard nearby.

"So, Mister. You can start telling me about your employer, I would like to know more about him, not in a sense of love of course." Vaterian turned his body around and spoke to the man.
