The two kids looked at Vritra with surprise, they had never seen him before and suddenly appearing in front of them shocked them. The two kids felt a powerful dreadful aura around the dragon boy.

"W-Who is he?" asked Arthurious, feeling a dreadful aura from the little Vritra.

"I am Vritra! Nice to meet cha!" said Vritra cutely, he jumped out of Ruby and smiled.

"Nice to meet you…" said Arthurious.

"Sir Frank! Were you hunting monsters?" asked Miriam.

"Yeah, sorry about coming later, we had a few delays… Sorry about making you wait, I'll attend all of you immediately." Said Frank.

Frank opened the shop and quickly led the people inside, as he quickly began to sell the items and the like, until the customers walked back home happily, some had even brought their monster pets at their side, so Frank got to see a bunch of new creatures he had not seen before.

After all of this, Frank decided to finally interrogate the souls of the thugs…

The souls of the thugs were easy to interrogate, Frank learned quite a nice amount of information about them that he didn't expected to get from these run-of-the-mill thugs.

First of all he learned they belonged to a band of ruffians that ran around the Riverside City named Black Eye, and that they specialized in the illegal transaction of items and monster pets…

They often stole monster pets that were already tamed mostly from newbies in the nearby forests, and then sold these off in the black markets to make a big profit out of this practice.

But that wasn't everything, they seemingly had a whole market of monster pets illegally sold, and they were even doing some sort of shady stuff by experimenting on new drugs and even the creation of chimeras.

The Black Eye was slowly expanding in the city, and it seemed like quite the typical evil organization Frank would often see in things such as Pokémon games… but was doing illegal things their only goal? Was life that simple?

The souls, sadly, didn't knew more, they were just hired to do this kind of job and were not given more information in depth about what was truly happening outside…

But for now, that was more then enough, the souls of the ruffians were going to be let free…

As if!

Frank saw that although they didn't liked people, they had stolen hundreds of people's monster pets and sold them off, they had also captured and enslaved demi-humans using the collars, as they also work on these demi-humans from this work who are beast folk, being part monster.

Such discouraging news made Frank quickly decide that letting them go to the afterlife was way too good for them, they were just going to disappear forever.

And no, not by his hands, a cute little silvery-white-haired boy with sharp crimson-red eyes was waving his tail playfully as he saw with his big and beady eyes how Frank brought to him all the souls he wanted to eat before.

"Oooh! Papa, can I eat them? Really? Do you let me?"

Vritra was a Dracolich, an Undead Dragon with incredible power over Death, they naturally thrived in places with death, and also were able to eat souls easily, this being one of their greatest and most favorite meals, which also seemingly boosted their power and growth.

Frank had not given him many souls lately because Vritra would go a bit wild with them, and he began to feel bad for innocent souls that had nothing to do with bad things being eaten, so until now Vritra had been replacing eating souls through drinking Soul Elixirs which seemed to be as rich as eating souls, mostly produced as an item by the dungeon.

However, it wasn't the same as eating a tasty and juicy soul, so the boy naturally felt very happy when he was offered the opportunity to actually eat a big one for himself!

"Hmmm! Looks so good!"

Actually, not one, but many.

And these souls came from another world too, so they were like an exotic meal to the dragon boy.

The souls that Vritra was about to eat began to scream in horror but some of them felt happy to end like this, as they were too fascinated by him due to his Death Charm X2…

C r u n c h, c r u n c h, c r u n c h, c r u n c h, c r u n c h, c r u n c h, c r u n c h…

As Vritra began to devour the souls one by one like snacks, Frank discussed what he learned with Gwendolyn while leaving Ruby and Alexander with the other kids.

"So it seems that there is another evil organization here? And they capture and sell monsters illegally? Wait, they steal them from people?!" asked Gwendolyn.

"Yeah that's what I learned, it seems fairly common as a practice outside the law pre-established by the Empire that people often steal already tamed monsters. As you can see from the ones we got from them, they're very submissive once you get them, so its not like they can fight back as they're tamed." Said Frank.

"Huh… This is pretty bad, it kind of reminds me of Acacia Town back then…" sighed Gwendolyn.

"And that's not all, aside from being thugs, there are a lot of other things, such as a drug-making place, and even chimera projects… So they're probably trying to find ways to make their monsters even stronger… It wouldn't be far-fetched to think they want to take over the city…" I said.

"Hmm… This is quite bad, should we go deal with them?" wondered Gwendolyn.

"As of now I don't want to get myself involved with these things… it will only escalate into more problems eventually… but deep down, I can't let it slide either. For now let's keep looking for clues before doing anything rash though, I don't really want to go there and kill people now, just relax." Sighed Frank.

Gwendolyn sighed as she nodded and petted Frank's head, she understood her husband. He had been working hard lately and he just wanted a break, if she were on his position, she would feel the same thing as him.

Gwendolyn always admired her husband and what he did to protect and work hard for others, so she completely understood that he just wanted to take a break, he was probably feeling desensitized with killing people, and he might just want a small break for the time being.

This didn't meant they wouldn't be going to investigate, he said he was going to do just that but at a slower pace and not with the intent of doing it all in a single day or night, which he feared might not go completely as planned, so he didn't wanted to risk it.

Especially because these sort of events always trigger constant chain events as he has to uncover the ones truly behind everything… he just came to this world to earn more App Points and find a way to mature the little Ryujin, nothing more.

If he managed to help others along the way, that's good… but he really didn't wanted to involve himself too much, as much as it pained him to know that they were holding illegal market of monster pets stolen from their owners… it wasn't his problem.

After the conversation between Frank and Gwendolyn, the day passed rather quickly, and many customers showed up this time, up to five more.

Frank was happy to sell more products and gain more coins, he felt like his App Points were slowly multiplying with each passing second! In a bit more of time, he would truly get rich!

However, he was still wondering about that tournament that Miriam had named the other day, and as the girl was taking a break from helping Frank attend the customers and also cleaning the place, she answered whatever she knew about.

"Oh, this is a special tournament held every year in here! The prizes are always the major attraction, so the city is often filled with high level monster trainers because of that, there are many people that want the prize money for themselves, especially the other things that they gift too!" said Miriam.

"Hmm… I see. This city seems pretty rich to be doing such a thing as a monster pet tournament every year with such big prizes… Do you know where I can register?" wondered Frank.

"Oh yeah, you need to go to the Trainers Guild and register there! After that, you can get to register in the tournament, there is an entrance fee though, of 500 coins…" said the girl.

"That's a lot for just entering… I guess they also make money out of the participating, there's nothing saying there won't be more than one, so I guess this is relatively profitable, I guess…" thought Frank.
