Tomoe and Elena both knew that just blindly searching for a person in this large city was foolish. So instead of wasting their time doing that, they decided to take help from an organisation who would be much more familiar with this city and the people working in it.

Obviously that organisation had to be among one of the big three as only they would have the most correct information about the city. As for which organisation to contact, Elena left the decision to Tomoe. After thinking about it a little bit Tomoe decided to contact the organisation called "Laughing Jester". This was the organisation which was behind the inn where they were staying.

Tomoe and Elena had a bad relationship with the Cursed Order and they had no contact with the third criminal organisation called "Blood Pact". From what Tomoe had heard from Elena, the members of the Laughing Jester were all greedy for money but had not fallen as low as the other two gangs. If they were paid enough, they would complete the job without tricking the client. So taking their help was the wisest choice according to Tomoe.

With that in mind, Tomoe returned back to the inn with Elena and Atoge. Then she told one of the inn staff that she had some work for them. The staff were already aware of Elena and Tomoe's strength so they knew they would definitely be valuable clients. So in no time a meeting between Tomoe's group and a higher up from this organisation was set up.

Elena asked Tomoe to take the lead in this meeting. So far she was really impressed with everything that Tomoe did and was impressed with her growth. If it was before the start of their journey, Tomoe would not even know what to do in a situation like this.

Tomoe did not beat around the bush in the meeting and immediately went to the main point. She showed the higher ups the picture that Atoge had with him and asked him if they could find this person or not ? Tomoe noticed that as soon as the picture of this person was taken out, the higher up had a shocked look on a face for a moment or two. So Tomoe pressed him on if he knew the person in the picture.

The higher up, who was a fat vampire knew that they had already noticed his changed impression from before, so lying here was useless and might even put his life in danger. So he decided to be honest. But not before asking for a high amount of money as even with a risk to his life, he was unwilling to give on the lovely lovely gold.

Tomoe also did not care about the amount of money this man had asked her. Atoge had promised to pay them quite well and the amount that this man was asking was nowhere near that high. So Tomoe immediately threw a bag of money at him which had the exact amount that he had asked for.

Seeing this and counting that the money was perfect, this man felt a bit regretful. Seeing how easily this lady paid him, he guessed that even if he ended up asking for a little bit more, they would still have agreed to this amount. But now that die had been cast, he was unable to change the outcome anymore. He did not dare to ask for extra money as he knew that his greed should have a limit. Or these two strong people might just torture the information out of him.

So after putting away the money, he started to tell them everything about the person in the picture that he knew about. It turned out that just a few years ago, this man suddenly appeared in the city out of nowhere. He had the strength of a B rank and he was also quite smart and intelligent. So he was able to make a name for himself in no time.

At that time period, the Cursed Order and the Blood Pact were in a serious fight. These two gangs actually fought almost all the time but in certain times, this fight would escalate to a greater degree. And that time was exactly like that.

But then one day both of the gangs suddenly joined hands and attacked the ruling noble family of the city. They had not participated in the troubles at all so this move surprised everyone.

Actually even though mostly the criminal gangs were the shadow leaders of the city, the noble baron family was in an invincible situation. That was not because they had some secret treasures or hidden powerhouses, but because their authority over this city was given to them by the Vampire queens themselves. So if the criminal organisations tried anything funny with them, in the name of the queen, they would immediately be wiped out.

That was the reason why all the criminal syndicates avoided the noble family. If the current baron did not get in their ways, they were happy to ignore the baron family. And the young baron was aware that he did not have the strength to oppose the criminal organisations, so he also avoided them.

But suddenly two of the three biggest organisations attacked him. They had come up with a clever plan to control the baron without alerting the subordinates of the queen. This whole gang war was just a blindfold for them to block all the information channels of the city. Then they were planning to quickly attack and get the baron under their control. They also had vampires with noble blood in their gang, so the authority of a noble was useless against them.

But this whole failed because of this newly arrived man who introduced himself as Dark. It turned out that by a few clues, he had managed to already figure out the plan and had even told the baron about it. The young baron was very impressed by him and had made him his advisor. So they were already ready for this attack.

Every ruling noble could ask for the queen council's help if they encountered a problem that they were unable to solve. So the baron had already secretly asked for help and a powerful A ranker had come to assist him. With that A rankers help, their attack became useless. Not only that but both of the gangs suffered heavy damage and became quite weak for the time being.

Since then, the ruling noble family of the city had started to show signs of change. Under Dark's guidance, they had been recruiting more people and the strength of the family was slowly but surely catching up to the three large gangs. And the person mostly responsible for all these changes was the man who was in the picture.

...

After knowing about this Atoge was relieved that his son was doing fine. After knowing that he was in an infamous city, Atoge had feared in his heart that his son was already dead. So he was happy that it was not the case. The same higher ups who had provided them with the information had told them that with just a little extra money, he could set up a meeting with this dark person. Tomoe had agreed to this and they were going to meet him after some time. So the son and father should reunite soon enough.
