Alfred Winson wasn't pleased.He wanted to have revenge on the people who had done this to him and his family.He wanted to give them fates worse then death if it was possible.
Alfred listened to Gary 12# and his associates in order to hear their plans.It became unlikely that Alfred would be able to escape from the area.On top of that his scions and mobs were being continuously killed by the SMB operatives.
Alfred had only one solution and that was to see if there were any deals on unique monsters.Specifically ones that were good at tracking and gaining information while also being able to put up a fight.
Alfred searched through the dungeon store and browsed its contents.He couldn't read the skills of the monsters he was buying so he could only infer what they did by what they were called.
Alfred eventually found a unique monster by the name of Detective Grimshaw.There was a problem however and that was the fact that there was no deal or discount for the monster.It also cost 4500 essence which was probably around the same cost as non-deal Kalogorax.
Kalogorax paused before confirming his purchase.This was an expensive monster and he would be sending it out of his territory to look for the people that did this to him.This was risky and depending on the monsters skills it could get killed permanently.
Alfred could probably wait until he had a heart to heart chat with the SMB but he didn't trust them.Especially when they would essentially manipulate the minds of the people he knew.
They could deal with the possible consequences later however he wanted his revenge and desperately wanted the sorcerers to pay.
Alfred confirmed his purchase.A being appeared on the castle grounds on the second floor of the dungeon.It looked like an abnormal human with skin too pale to be alive or healthy.The eyes were black and glassy.It appeared to be a male adult male wearing a black trench coat and black shoes.He also wore a dark bowler hat,black gloves and grey trousers.
The man looked like a walking corpse from the early 1900s,it was currently the 2500s in the long modern period.He would look out of place in current modern society where people wore jeans and jumpers.
The pale man opened his mouth to speak.Before he could even let out a sound some cockroaches moved out his mouth,across his face and out of view.
"Greetings boss,Detective Grimshaw at your service." The voice sounded as though it were made up of the sounds of insects.It was deep and raspy with undertones of bees buzzing and crickets chirping.
Alfred immediately checked his skills.
[Detective Grimshaw level 1]
[Skills are as follows]
[Superhuman strengh level 1:Detective Grimshaw possesses physical strengh far above the normal human.]
[Superhuman speed level 1:Detective Grimshaw possesses physical speed far above the normal human.]
[Past vision level 1:Detective Grimshaw is capable of reading the past of the space around it.]

Alfred felt like he hit the jackpot in terms of monsters that could locate people and find them.Finding the people and bringing them back would be easy if it had these skills.The past vision and Predatory instinct could be used to find people and Detective Grimshaw could stuff people into the trunk of the Bently car and bring them back.
