Chapter 244: Important Guests

“What?” Smith asked with a confused expression, not expecting Klaus to ask such a question.

“You heard me, where’s the mayor’s treasury?” Klaus looked at him coldly.

“It’s in the villa.” Smith said hurriedly.

“I know it’s in the villa, I just need to know where?” Klaus had the urge of smacking him in the face.

“That…that…you see.” Smith tried to look for a way to evade the question.

“Trying to avoid the question? The funny thing is that your life depends on the answer I get.” Klaus shrugged.

He could guess the area where the mayor’s treasury was located, but it would take a lot of time to pinpoint its actual location. Why go through that stress when he could just get the location from Smith?

Hearing the threat, Smith gulped and threw a glance at Richard, hoping that he might be able to say something that would save them.

“I see no reason why you’re placing your hopes on someone who can’t even save himself, much less, you.” Klaus followed his gaze and realized he was staring at Richard.

Smith refused to tell him the location of the mayor’s treasury.

“It’s not even yours, why are you protecting it that much?” Klaus was left stumped by his stubbornness.

‘I’ll do that to the other guy, that should scare him.’ he thought.

“Hey Grey, hope there’s no way for sounds to get out of this place?” He asked to confirm.

He was planning on using his self-named technique, the nutcracker. It has been a while since he used it, but it looks like it’s time to bring out the big guns once again.

“Yeah, Void isolated the place.” Grey nodded.

When he saw Klaus’ smile after getting confirmation, he immediately knew he was planning to do something evil. Seeing the position Richard was in, a chill went down his spine, ‘Don’t tell me he’s about to use ‘that’?’

He got to affirmation when he saw Klaus preparing for a run-up, “Alice, you shouldn’t watch this.”

Grey and Reynolds hastily turned around. Thinking about it always scares them, watching someone experience it scares them even more. Alice nodded and turned around as well.

“If you don’t speak, you’ll be the next.” Klaus said before running in Richard’s direction.

“Why are you coming towards me? Stay away!” Richard yelled.

He had a bad premonition about what Klaus was about to do to him.

Smith stared wide-eyed as Klaus got close to Richard whose leg was wide opened. That was when he saw one of the scariest things of his life, Klaus drew his right foot backward, before releasing a frightening kick to Richard’s crotch region.

Bam! Crack!

The sound of something cracking rang out in the garden.

Richard’s premonition came to pass as an unbearable pain came from his crotch region. He didn’t pass out immediately from the pain.

“Ah…” He screamed at the top of his lungs.

The shock and the pain he was feeling were what finally knocked him out. This was a pain that staying conscious made worse, so it was better if he passed out. He didn’t even care if he was killed in the process, he just wanted the pain to stop.

“Heh! Never gets old.” Klaus looked at Richard with a hint of amusement.

Of all the people here, Smith and Void were the only other two who watched this, the rest were either facing another direction or knocked out.

‘Someday, this technique will be known all over the world.’ thought Klaus.

“You see that? Now start talking.” Klaus said pointing at Richard, when he saw Smith’s expression, he added, “Also, unlike what he’s currently going through, I’ll make sure you don’t pass out, and feel double the pain.”

Smith almost fainted on the spot, if he hated Klaus previously, now, he dreaded him. Klaus was the most psychotic person he had ever seen. How would a guy do this to another guy when he fully knows how much it hurts?

Klaus slowly started approaching Smith, preparing to start his run-up.

“There’s a secret passageway in my father’s room. You’ll find the treasury there.” Smith blurted out everything he knew.

He told Klaus how to get to the mayor’s room without being spotted. But since it was already late, the mayor would most likely be in his room.

When the group previously came to the villa, other than when they were inspected at the gate, and when the servants brought the food over, they didn’t see others. They haven’t encountered any other guards nor servants. They were quite surprised about this and couldn’t help but ask Smith the reason for this.

The answer Smith gave to them was that most of them were dismissed by the mayor. According to him, the mayor seemed to be expecting some important guests, and having too many people in the villa wasn’t a good thing.

“This seems suspicious.” said Alice.

“Yes, we need to complete what we want to do and leave immediately.” Grey said seriously.

He recalled how the guards checked the carriage properly before letting them in, making it all click. Since the mayor was being that thorough with the people who entered the villa, it was a testament to how important the guests were.

“Yeah.” Klaus nodded.

“Who are these important guests?” Grey tried to see if Smith knew the people.

“I don’t know.” Smith answered.

From his response, Grey guessed he wasn’t lying. He also thought of the possibility of him being a good liar as well.

“Okay, now that his question has been answered, I have one as well. Do you still have more of this wine?” Grey asked pointing at the wine jug.

“Yes, such an important item, to think I forgot about it. Well, do you?” Klaus lightly smacked his head when he heard this.

He also thought of asking for more of the wine, but the coins came first.

“Yes, I have one more jug in my room, and there should be others in the treasury.” Smith nodded hastily.

Grey and the others quickly knocked him out before planning on what the next course of action was.
