*****Jace's POV*****
“The Wren Family? Avenir City?”
“Yes, Avenir City.” He confirmed and I frowned. Avenir City was another huge City outside Fangoria. A city that could rival Fangoria as well. It was also very far from Fangoria and just thinking about the distance brought me a headache.
“So, did you ask someone to check for the family?” I asked instead, still rubbing my head at this information.
Fagel shook his head. “I did ask someone to check, but the person returned with bad news.”
“Which is?”
“The name ‘Wren’ is extremely common in Avenir City, that means that there are lots of families with this name. In total, there are 82 families with the family name, ‘Wren’”
“What the heck?!” I yelled out at the amount of families bearing that family name.
“You see why I got tired.” Fagel sighed with a chuckle.
I ran a hand through my hair In frustration as well. How would we ever find the Wren family involved in the shady acts?
“Why don't you call the nurse over, let's ask more questions about the Wren family she was referring to.”
I suggested but Fagel winced for some reason.
“Unfortunately, the nurse is dead.”
“What?!” This time, I stood up from my seat in shock as those words registered in my mind. The person was even dead?
Could this life get any less difficult?
“Then how do we identify this particular Wren Family?” I asked as I felt my heart beat accelerate.
“Honestly, I have no idea. I asked someone to check all Wren families out to know the one having a suspicious activity ongoing. But out of the 82 families, 15 are the top most powerful families which are the ones I've asked him to look into.”
He explained and I yawned, leaning back into my seat.
“This is going to be very difficult, you know?” I asked, already feeling exhaustion kicking in.
He nodded and relaxed as well.
“Indeed.”
We stayed silent for a while before he gave a suggestion.
“Why don't we find a way to visit Avenir?”
I gave him a pointed look before shaking my head.
“Yes, we can visit Avenir, but definitely not now.” I replied.
“Why not?’
“Because I have a sister who is hell bent on keeping me safe, I'm not even allowed to leave the manor for more than two hours and you think I can travel to Avenir that is at least 28 hours away from Fangoria by air?”
