"Aahahahaha, you are our favorite VIP. Of course, we won't charge if it's not something important."
"I don't know, but I think it is. Where do you keep Arkin?"
I watched Kim's face as I asked and I didn't see as much surprise as I thought. This man is good.
Kim frowned and said smoothly, "With the black axe of course. You should know this, you carried out the investigation yourself. Don't you see?"
I nodded along. "But we thought we should be careful and ask you as well while I deal with the Black Axe."
Kim's smile dimmed the more I spoke, and now his face was a hardened mask as he stared at me. "Is this an attempt at a joke? Torvan? To deal with the Black Axe? Have you finally lost your mind?"
Kim stood. "First, you came here, and I have to put on a smile for you disgusting fools; at least I was able to make some money from it, but now you think you are some special Iron rank that can take on the black axe by themselves?"
