Chapter 377 Meeting (II) Black Petal Sect

"I regret to say these following words which I dread, but it seems that there is no other option now. There is only one 'group' that wears all black, and has power over this very material," Hyst's father exclaimed, staring at the Dark Ore.

"Their name has been mostly restricted throughout the three kingdoms as taboo, but I must speak it here for I have no other choice."

He paused, as Lyrian squinted his eyes slightly--feeling as though he had heard all of this before somewhere.

"The Black Petal Sect." As soon as Hyst's father said this, Lyrian's eyes expanded and the women in the room gasped slightly.

'The Black Petal Sect? That's what Israthel and that other kid spoke about just before the deployment exam...'

"If I may, m'lord," Sebastion spoke up unexpectedly, as Hyst's father's gaze switched to him.

"I know that this is out of place," Sebastion said, but Hyst's father quickly reinforced him.

"No, go ahead. You have been serving this family for so long that you are practically a part of it now. Your opinion also matters. Please speak your mind..."

With this, Sebastion spoke, "Although suspicions may arise of the Black Petal Sect, I do not believe it is wise to assume that it is that group who has caused this mishap so soon."

As Sebastion paused, everyone quietly stared at him to continue. And he did just that.

Lyrian said, fitting to leave.

"Lord Lyrian!" Hyst suddenly exclaimed just as Lyrian was about to step out of the door.

Lyrian turned to face Hyst, who was hiding his face for some reason--as if in embarrassment.

"I know this is selfless of me to ask..." Hyst scratched the back of his head, "But... would you please investigate the Red Light District next?"

"That place? Well, I was going to do that soon... why can't you explore it if you want to so bad."

"Well, I guess I just suck at investigating compared to you, since you found this much information on your first quest. I have tried doing my best investigating that area, but bore no fruit."

After this, Lyrian fully turned around and asked, "Why is that place a priority?"

Hyst paused before replying, "First and foremost, recent child disappearances have been cited there as early as this week." He paused once again, getting a bit awkward, "And secondly... that was where I last saw something very important to me, who has also disappeared."

Hyst stared at Lyrian with eyes of genuineness, as Lyrian swiftly turned around.

"I'll see what I can do."

"W-wait! B-but! If you are planning to go there tomorrow, just know that the Red Light District only opens during the nighttime..."

Lyrian retorted, "Right." Before leaving.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Hyst exclaimed in contentment.
