"Of course, I shall look for you in your clan once I succeed."
"Good Good."
"Now I shall take my leave."
"I hope we meet again soon," Milo spoke as she waved her hands.
Luna and Bella had smiles on their faces as well, it was a good talk.
Soon, Nux and Melia finally left.
"You are quite good at this, 'Dio'." After they walked out of the inn, Melia spoke as she glanced at Nux.
"Hahaha~" Nux laughed out loud.
"I feel like you are more open when you talk with women." Melia narrowed her eyes.
"Oh? Is that jealousy I sense?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
"I have no reason to be jealous."
"Look at that confidence, 'people get jealous when they are insecure, I, have no need for that since there is no way any woman can take my man,'
I can sense your sass just from your expression."
"W-What are you even talking about?"
"Fufufu~ It is not like I hate it either, I love that my woman is confident."
"I am not your woman!"
"You will be soon."
"…"
"Anyways, I guess we can narrow down our targets now?"
Nux then stopped playing around and spoke with a serious look on his face.
Seeing that, Melia's face returned to her normal expressionless look and she nodded,
"She is too popular."
Milo and the other 2 were not the only Catkin they had talked with, the two of them had been doing this since morning, talking to different people from different regions, and not a single mortal, or a cultivator spoke anything against Rune.
These catkins genuinely liked Rune, to the point some excited ones even said that they would support her if Lady Rune ever decides to revolt.
Of course, other people quickly covered up for them and those talks were buried.
Anyways, this made things clearer, Melia's initial theory was correct, this situation reeked of filthy politics.
And for someone who was so well-liked by the people, the suspects were numbered.
Oberon Feline, the City Lord of the Feline Cat City will choose his successor within the next 100 years, the successor would then receive power and influence second only to the City Lord.
It was clear that this assassination mission was related to all this.
Someone who would benefit the most if Rune is dead.
Someone who has the power to influence the City Lord into not using the 'Appeal',
The suspect list automatically reduces to a single person,
The only other contender for the position of the Successor,
Rune's younger brother, Felix Feline.
The Culprit was definitely related to Felix, there is no other person, well, not someone Nux or Melia could think of.
Felix was the most logical assumption.
However, it still didn't make sense why Felix didn't contact a stronger Assassination Hall, or the reason Rune came to him instead of going to stronger Clans for protection.
"Things would get riskier from now on," Melia spoke up.
"Mhm." Nux nodded.
Since they had a basic understanding of the situation, their next destination was obvious,
The City Manor.
"Now we need to understand what people inside the City Manor think."
