Gustav yelped back in surprise the moment he heard Roland's voice resounding right in front of his ears.

His fat body wiggled as he tapped his chest, as if to relieve his wildly beating heart.

"Y-you startled me!" He exclaimed as he continued to calm himself down.

"Who told you to space out?" Roland said.

"Anyways, do you have something to say?" he continued.

Gustav hesitated for a moment before finally releasing a sigh, as if he made a decision.

"The Razor… I think I know him… personally.." Gustav said with a bit of hesitation.

Roland looked at him surprised upon hearing that.

Of course, after the hooligan spilled everything they knew, Roland also learned of this Razor-guy's existence.

According to them, Razor was a ruthless guy who was previously a bodyguard of a notable figure in Fore City. It was rumored that he had already killed a person before and that he was only fired from being a bodyguard because that notable person wanted him to run his dark business in Fore City.

And as for who that notable figure behind Razor was, the hooligans did not know themselves as they were not privy to that information.

He established a mercenary-like group who accepts requests from client to client and do some dirty jobs for them as long as they have the right amount of money.

This time, their client wanted them to sabotage the newly established Sparkling Buds restaurant to foil their income until they go bankrupt.

Only Razor himself knew of the real identity of the client and none of the hooligans knew even an ounce of information regarding the other party.

The hooligans had already spilled the location of the mercenary group's meeting point as well.

However, Roland and the others knew that this meeting point was only a temporary one and that their real hideout might be in a different location. Locating this without any leads was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

It was also the main reason why Roland and the others were not in a hurry to go to the location provided by the hooligans as they knew that the journey there would just be a waste of time.

And even in the chance that it was indeed their base of operation, with the capture of the hooligans, they would have surely been alarmed and would probably move away as soon as possible.

However, if Gustav truly knew Razor in person, then this was a different matter already.

Perhaps, they could receive some leads from him?

With Roland's Level 2 Reconnaissance talent, he was confident of locating the other party as long as they had a lead. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

"Can you explain in detail?" Roland said as he handed Gustav a chair to sit on.

At the same time, One who was still at the corner also paid attention to what Gustav was about to say next.

Gustav nodded his head and sat on the chair offered by Roland.

He went silent for a brief moment as if he was reorganizing his thoughts. A moment later, he finally started to begin his lengthy story.

"It was exactly five years ago when I met him. That time, I was still part of a local small mafia group. Selling illegal drugs to feed ourselves from this damnable city.

That time, Razor just descended in the underworld bravely. No one knows of his origin, but everyone knew how strong he was.

His strength was literally beyond human back then.

It's real, I witnessed it for myself how he managed to lift a sedan with just one hand.

That time, he was still accepting bodyguards' missions from anyone who had the money. After establishing his reputation, he established his own mercenary company out of thin air.

I have worked with him a few times during some missions already and we could be considered to be familiar with each other.

However, Razor is an extremely ruthless person and I saw him kill a person using only his bare hands. There was a chance that he might not have noticed my existence back then at all.

In the underworld scene of Fore City, Razor was basically a legend already.

Those who managed to hire his mercenary company to sabotage us are truly not simple.

We should not act recklessly with this matter," Gustav said.

His previous identity was a secret that he was supposed to hide all his life to give his wife and child a better future without trauma from being chased by death almost everyday.

However, Gustav decided to grit his teeth and expose his past as this matter was also very important for his future.

Roland frowned after hearing Gustav's story. It was surprising that he actually had some dark backstory that Roland did not imagine him to have.

However, the most surprising thing was still the case of Razor.

If it was the others, they would surely brush Gustav's story away as being mere fiction.

However, Roland has already experienced a lot of things during the past few weeks, he did not dare to underestimate Razor at all after hearing Gustav's description of him.

If what Gustav said was real, then it could be basically confirmed that Razor was a cultivator. And he was a strong one at that for being able to rip a man's heart out from the chest barehanded.

"Can you still contact him now?" Roland asked the most important thing.

With the threat level of the enemy increasing, Roland just could not let himself relax anymore.

He must deal with this problem as soon as possible to prevent future troubles from happening.

"I should be able to. However, I already left the underground scene a few years ago. There's a chance that what I knew back then might have already changed," he stated as he took out his phone.

He scrolled down the list and arrived at the number labeled as 'unknown number'.

After giving the phone number to Roland, he was just about to buy a skill or talent in the System when they heard a commotion outside the Sparkling Buds.
