Chapter 121: Torture
As Jayden walked he saw an inn that was still bustling with the crowd, a lot of people were dining there. After a thought, Jayden decided to gather information at that place.
‘ Hey ape, time for you to play translator, don’t do anything stupid. ‘ he warned the demon in his mind.
” Okay, though I might not be able to understand everything,” the colossal replied.
‘ Just do your best. ‘
Walking inside the inn, Jayden attracted the attention of everyone present there due to his strange clothing and his long height, walking slowly, he took one of the corner seats.
Jayden’s face was completely covered, and his body was wrapped under a blanket. Jayden raises his hand and calls for a waiter.
” What do you want to have, dear guest, everything on our menu is available. ” a man in his early thirties asks Jayden.
“…”
Picking up the menu, Jayden pretends to read it for a few seconds, then points at one of the items.
” Okay, your dish will be served within five minutes. Please enjoy your stay here. ” after taking the order, the waiter moves toward the other tables.
Jayden looked around and saw a group of four men eating at a table as they laughed and talked about various things.
‘ This could have been so easier if only I had my Void Eye skill right now. ‘ Jayden thought.
He stands up and walks towards the table of the four young men, noticing the presence of a towering figure, everyone turns to face him.
” How can we help you? ” one of the men asked.
” Sit here? ” Jayden spoke in human language while pointing at one of the empty seats, his speech sounded weird and his voice was hoarse.
“…”
All the young men looked at each other, it seemed as if they were going to reject the request. But before they could say anything Jayden spoke again.
” I pay, your food. ” Jayden spurted out the words that the colossal demon told him in the mind.
” Fine, you can sit here. What’s your name? ” hearing that the strange man was willing to pay for their food, all four of them agreed.
” Ian ” Jayden replied.
” That’s a strange name, by the way, I’m… ” All four of them introduced themselves one by one with big smiles on their faces.
” Tell us now, is there anything you need? ” the young man who appeared to be the most talkative in the group questioned.
” Ask… something. ” Jayden said, his speech sounded a little awkward.
” What do you want to ask? ”
” Second General, house where? ” Jayden asks.
” So you want to know where the second general lives? ” the talkative man asks.
“…” Jayden nods his head.
” Can you see that tall building, on the 6th floor of that building, I believe. All the general lives in that building, though since they are mostly on missions, their house remains empty most of the time,” he said, enthusiastically.
” Third General? ”
” Yes, he lives there too, along with all his family members that consists of his only son, I think he is on the top floor. ” the talkative man said, as everyone looked at him in awe. How did he even understand everything the cloaked man asked, they all thought.
” Here is your dish and spoons, have a nice dinner. ” the waiter brought a hot dish and placed it in front of Jayden.
Although Jayden wanted to taste the delicious looking dish, but he couldn’t expose his identity yet, and since he had already gathered the information he needed Jayden decided to leave.
” Toilet? ”
” Haha, it’s that way, don’t take too long or I might just eat your food. ” the talkative man joked while patting his chest.
‘ Eat all you want, just pay for everything later. ‘ Jayden thought, as he walked towards the toilet.
Without anyone noticing, Jayden disappears from the inn and heads in the direction of the tall building.
The building was just a couple of kilometres away, with Jayden’s speed, it only took him a few minutes to reach there while avoiding any suspicious gazes.
The security at the entrance of the building was quite high, Jayden hid his presence completely and walked towards the back of the building.
It was already dark, avoiding the patrolling guards Jayden began to climb the building. The building was very tall, it had around 13 floors, and it was structured like a pyramid.
Jayden was easily able to climb to the sixth floor of the building, opening one of the windows, Jayden climbed into the hall.
Although he knew the floor the generals lived on, but he wasn’t aware of the room they were staying in. He walks towards one of the rooms and knocks on the door
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
*Click*
After a pause of a minute, the door opened and a middle aged man walked out of it. After looking at Jayden’s suspicious outfit he took a step back and asked.
” Do I know you? ”
” Second general, where? ” Jayden asks in his hoarse voice.
“…”
The middle aged man stayed silent for a few seconds, then finally understanding the meaning of Jayden’s question, he asks:
” You want to know where the second general lives? ”
“…” Jayden nods simply.
He looked at Jayden and instead of answering him, he asked a question of his own: ” Who are you? And why do you want to meet him? ”
” Friend, forgot his room. ” Jayden replied.
” So you’re saying you are the second general’s friend and you forgot about the room he lives in? ” he questions.
‘ Fuck, why is he acting like Sherlock? Should I just beat him up and then ask? ‘ Jayden thought.
But before he could make a move, the middle aged man spoke:
” The room on the right at the corner of the hall, that’s where the second general lives. ”
‘ Thank your luck, you just escaped a bloody beating. ‘ Jayden thought.
” Thank you ” Saying that he turns around and walks towards the general’s room.
” What a strange fellow, if he is inside this building then I don’t think he is some kind of criminal, right? ” the middle aged man watched Jayden walk away and then closes the door.
” There is a magical stone, that could translate one language into another. I believe this general could have that stone. ” the colossal demon informs Jayden.
” That’ll be a great help if I could get that, but I won’t need it. ”
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
After knocking on the door, Jayden stood back waiting for it to open. After more than five minutes passed, Jayden knocked on the door again, this time a bit more harder.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
Again, even after five more minutes no one came out, Jayden was getting irritated, he moved forward and banged on the door loudly.
*BANGGGGG*
“Ughh who is it? ” A grumpy voice came from inside.
*CLICK*
Then the door of the room slowly opened, and an old man with dishevelled hair stood in front of him. The old man had a towel wrapped around his lower body.
Looking at the cloaked man, a frown appears on the old general’s face, with an impatient expression he spoke:
” What do you want? ”
” Have information- KIR monsters’ Village. ” Jayden spoke.
