Chapter 138 – Investigation.

Words : 1598 Updated : Sep 17th, 2025

The incident regarding the attack on my shop had already spread through the city within just one day.Well, why wouldn't it? I'm famous and I was straight up attacked in the middle of the day, inside the city, by the guards and the knights who first tried to kidnap me and then murder me. So, yea…. Chaos that I this time did not made. And I'm still confused who the hell were these people! I mean, "Phantasia" doesn't have any NPC enemies and the only people I pissed off were the asshole players and PK players that went after me. So really, target me doesn't make any sense, unless I provoked somebody by accident without even knowing that…... …. Or I triggered some sort of story event. But no quest popped up or anything like that yet. The quest can be generated by the NPC or by circumstances or via special items or quest posts. But again, no quest had popped up, so what the fuck? Well, maybe I will have some answers, since a day has passed and the guards came to my shop. "…. So…. Before you ask me again to accompany you for questioning." – said Phantasia. {{The shop is currently closed.}} "The answers first." "…..." "Well…. We confirmed that none of the people that attacked you were the part of our city guard force, nor any of the knights that should have been in the city. We did a check on every single person that was captured, but none of the people were recognized as the guard nor as the knight." – said the city guard capitan with cat ears. "Okay. So do you know who they were really then?" – asked Phantasia. "…." "Well… That is the problematic part…. They escaped?" – replied the guard capitan. "…. What?" "Wait, stop. Did you just fuking said, they escaped?!" "Only 1 day had passed and you had already let them escape?! How?!" "Please calm down!" – said the guard capitan. "We don't know the situation either!" "The walls of the cells they were in had been completely demolished and the guards were knocked out cold before they realized anything!" "…." "So…. You are saying, that the guards and the knight attacked me, were confirmed to be fakes, but before you could get any other informations, you straight up fuking let them escape from the get go?!" – said visible angry Phantasia. "DO YOU! Have at least any leads?!" "…." "Fuck." – said Phantasia after the guard did not give any response to the Phantasia question. "…." "Regarding the questing, there is really no need to ask me…. I don't have any enemies among the people of this world and the only enemies I could possible have were some bandit adventures that I had dealt with." "Not only that, you can even check and see that I only got to the city recently and even bought my house and opened up this business." "Literally, I just came here!" "And I did not run even a SINGLE problem while I was in here or before my shop opened." "So I have even less informations about the situation than you!" "Is there is some sort of shady organization in the city or something? Like corrupted noble or maybe shady people?" "…...Em…. I don't know what should I say." – said the guard capitan. "…. Tch." "Forget it." – said Phantasia. "But I have a question." "If the same incident would happened again, do I have permission to kill?" "…." "Normally…. Normally I would say no. But as you said, these people tried to kidnap you and then murder you, so you won't face any punishment for killing anybody in the name of self-defense." – said the guard capitan. "But, if possible, please capture them instead. IF POSSIBLE." "We will also strengthen our patrols from now on as well. Including the area where your shop is located." "…Understand. Thank you for the help." – said the Phantasia. Moments later, the guard capitan left the store, leaving Phantasia all alone. "…." "Tch." (Welp, this is bullshit.) (In a single day, the fuking bastards that I had handed over had escaped?! How?!) (Did by any chance the guards were really working together with those people and instead of escaping, they let out those people?) (But what they would gain from that kind of commotion?) (….) (Second prince?) (This is an territory of the first prince, the territory I'm in currently.) (And there is currently situation going on with the whole Doctor being hunted down again.) (Currently, the two main suspects are the first prince and the second prince.) (So what if by any chance those people that attacked me were the members of the second prince faction that were send here to look "SUS" and give the first prince faction an bad impression?) "That guy looked like an scammer to me…. So, I honestly would be surprised if he did that." S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. (But then again, all of the criminals escaped the very SAME FUKING DAY they were arrested???) (Yea… Something is off about the whole situation.) (And still, no quest have been triggered or anything like that.) (Fuck me…..) "…." (Well, there could be somebody among the nobles or merchants that like to forcefully recruit me and stuff, since I'm quiet well known crafter and....) "…." "Wait a fuking second." "Isn't this Evilin situation?!" Evilin. Master of the Phantasia. Originally kidnapped by the necromancer named Hegan Bi'bio'ro and tried to force the dwarf into creating the artifact called [Unliving Heart]. Phantasia manipulated the necromancer by pretending to be his ally and helped out in the creation of the [Unliving Heart]. However, as soon as the necromancer let his guard down, he was instantly killed by the Phantasia who then took and put the [Unliving Heart] into his own body as well as had rescued dwarf completely safely, managing to gain the dwarf trust and make him accept Phantasia as his discipline who taught him. However, in the end, the dwarf was killed by the "Doctor" when he went on the rampage in the Dawn city. "…." (Is somebody fuking trying to kidnap me and force me to make some sort of artifact…. Literally, the same thing that happed to Evilin?!) (But are they idiots?! Attempting something like that in brough daylight?!) (Well, there are a lot of idiots, no matter where you are, from what country you are or even reality. There are always idiots and even bigger idiots who pulls something extremely stupid like THAT!) (Still, I don't know what could have been the real objective of the people that attacked me…. Maybe they wanted my items? My fortune? My skills? Or they just wanted to make a mess?) (Either way, I have zero fuking clue what the hell is going on and this time I'm completely innocent…. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkkk.) "…." "I guess I have to look into it myself, since I don't know if I can even trust the guards or knights." (I should also reinforce my fuking shop defenses and possible have the maiden dolls on the guard duty just in case. They look like humanoid beings, so its safe to use them… Unless somebody destroyers them and see that they are not humans.) (Still, it's better than nothing.) (But seriously…. I didn't wanted any chaos right now in the life of Phantasia… So, what the fuck is going on?) With little choice I had, I began upgrading my house defenses and security as well as having an upgraded doll maidens now being stationary in the build, in case somebody breaks in. After that, I closed down my shop for the time being while I myself began exploring the city. My first targets were obviously the knights and the guards, since for very obvious reasons. I tried approaching one of the guards in the city and getting him drunk tired to the point where he would talk easily…. But he didn't had any informations regarding the invaders identity. However, they found out that the armor and weapon they had were stolen, but nobody knew when or how they were stolen. And besides that, nothing. I tried tailing some people, but nothing came out from it. I could have beaten up some people for informations, but obviously that is a stupid idea for more than one reason. I then tried hitting bars, shops, merchants or other players…... BUT FUKING NOTHING! True. No city is "Pure" and there are always some rotten bastards here and there, and I even found some people that could be called "Rotten", but there is nothing that would point at them or something like leads. Not only that, but there is also the fact that the bandits that attacked me had just "Vanished". There are bounty posters in the city of these people, but I found nothing. I even gave a Zeus a favor of a small discount when shopping some stuff from me in order to have his guild look a bit, but they also found nothing. Nothing. Nothing. AND FUKING NOTHING! What the fuck!? How the hell there could be ZERO leads or anything like that! For fuck sake! Did I became a part of some sort of conspiracy or what? …. Things will get more annoying from now on, won't they?
