As they passed the guard, they began looking for a nice house, or at least one nicer than average. As everybody was walking and looking around in silence, Damian chose to break it.
Walking down every street was a small group of the guard patrolling the streets. Doing patrols, Interrogations, trying to make sure the death count dropped.
"No way in hell am I taking orders from that dude" he said, shaking his head. Chase joined in. "Yeah, the lady is one thing, that man looks like he's got a stick up his ass" Chase was a rather lazy guy in his first life. He wasn't perfect, far from it.
But one of the few things he hated the most was when fellow classmates would try to force people to work or make fun of those who didn't.
And while it was semi acceptable in school,
At work you would get chewed out for not doing more than what your supposed to.
'Ridiculous, truly'
As Chase was in thought, he felt like he was forgetting something. he pulled up his system. He hadn't used it much.
Focusing, he pulled up a red screen that was longer now

Even now Chase wasn't fully used to seeing his upgraded system. 'Yeah the old quests gave more points, but I can unlock more abilities now.' His points had increased these days as well, just not by much.
Snapping him out of his thoughts was Andrew, who flicked the screen and watched as it disappeared, dissolving into pixels.
Wrapping his arm around chases neck,
He pointed to a house with a large yard protected by a gate. "Look at this, I think we found it."
Two guards stood in front of said gate, looking fierce. The house itself was two stories and had an all white look, made from brick and stone. After making sure Chase saw it was well, he let him go. "Well then, let's go"
As they got to the gate, they saw the guards protecting it. It would probably be hard to reason with them under normal circumstances.
"Is there a reason you're coming in, or will we have to make you leave the premises?" One of the guards voices showed his confidence.
'Good thing these aren't normal circumstances' Chase simply smiled.
"Your captain gave us orders to get briefed by Harold, as he was the one who sent us here"
The guards both made disgruntled faces, before letting them in. Though one turned around as they walked past. "If we find out your lying, you'll be skewered before you can think to leave."
They'd got to the door of the establishment and went to knock on it. In moments someone answered the door. But unlike the grown man they were expecting, it was a woman in a maid outfit.
"Are you the people Harold employed? Follow me, I'll take you to him." As that walked through the luxurious home, Chase looked around, seeing more maids either cleaning vases, portraits, the floor. 'I guess when you work and sometimes sleep in a nobles house, things still go on like nothing ever happened.'
Eventually they get to Harold's room. This is where the maid fully stops. "I must get back to work,but Mr Harold will see you now." she smiled politely at them, before walking off.
Opening the door, they see a man with a beard, his long hair is wrapped in a ponytail and he has glasses on. He wears a brown suit, he is signing papers in his office. Donny spoke "Is this Mr Harold? Your maid brought us here."
Looking up to see the group, he sighs. "Finally, some good news. I imagine you've ran into Mrs shiva and her army of idiots patrolling the streets, correct?"
"Yes actually, she seemed quite vigilant."
"Oh she is. Annoyingly so." The man then began rummaging through his drawer.
"They want my help, as if manpower would solve any of their problems."
Finally he found what he was looking for "Here you are." He pulled out a yellow looking gemstone that seemed to glow "I don't think this thing is human, But something that can mimic the looks of one. The thing is I would never give that the guard anything I own. They aren't fans of returning them."
"What is it if you don't mind us asking?"
Damian chimed in. "A mana stone with a spell imbued inside of it. When you find someone you suspect use it on them. If they are a human it won't work, and if they are not, it will try to absorb it and capture the creature."
Standing up, he handed it to Donovan, And shook his hand. "Happy hunting."
