"Mr. Xia Nan, I'll be at the Iron Barrel Toad Tavern these next couple of days. If there's anything you need my help with, just give me a shout!"
"Our Grey Badger Gang might not amount to much even all together compared to you, but for some trivial odds and ends that aren't convenient for someone of your status to handle, the brothers in our gang are still pretty good at them."
Iron Head's figure, disappearing around the street corner, was reflected in those pitch-black eyes.
Xia Nan withdrew his gaze and started walking, thinking he would first return to Jeff's house and make plans after lunch.
But he had only taken two steps when his body suddenly paused.
As if he had thought of something, he looked left and right to identify his position, and as his feet shifted, he had already changed direction.
If "Colander" Big Ben had not lied, then because of what had happened during Hunting Day, he had gone a long time without meeting Barker.
By the time he returned to Newm City from River Valley Town, the incident at Barker's house had already happened.
Although he had learned the cause of the incident from Big Ben, increasing the likelihood that Barker had been infected with "Beastification Syndrome,"
it had provided no useful clues about Barker's current location.
Therefore, Xia Nan planned to return to Grey Tree Alley and ask Barker's neighbor, the girl named "Harriet," for information from other angles.
Ideally, he could find out which sheriff had brought guards to handle the scene at the time.
Even though, because of the current chaotic situation among Newm City's upper levels, he did not want to have contact with the official forces, for the sake of completing his advancement mission, this was the only way.
