Chapter 316: Chapter 317 - Keith Grimes
"Now, how can we help you?" Peanut Butter said formally.
William looked at his face and went quiet. He didn't know how to ask him about his request. He has never made any request to anyone ever since he has reincarnated in this new world.
Mostly because when he was small, nobody paid any attention to him and just gave him what he needed and when he finally got himself acquainted with the world, he didn't need to ask anyone, he just told them and it was brought before him.
Talk about privileged.
The reason why he was hesitating the most was because the request was an odd one of breaking someone out of the prison. He did not know how to tell him that.
"Well…" William was silent while thinking many ways to ask and Peanut Butter did not make it difficult and stayed quiet for William to speak.
"I want your helping getting this guy." He said pushing forward a photo of the guy in his business attire.
Peanut Butter took a look at the picture and was silent for a moment, "Keith Grimes."
William's eyes widened momentarily as he heard that. The name was that of the bald guy's and Peanut Butter had already knew about him. Then William's eyes squinted as he thought, 'Is the Organization keeping tabs on me? How else is this guy supposed to know him so fast?'
But his thought was momentarily stopped as Peanut Butter said, "Can I ask what you mean to do with him?"
William waited for a moment as he thought whether or not to tell him about it. Seeing the hesitation, Peanut Butter spoke, "If it is a matter of vengeance or something more important than you don't need to say it."
William was relieved slightly and chose to trust them, "I want him in my security team." He said, not telling about how he wanted him to be his lead security man.
Peanut Butter nodded briefly as he spoke, "Hmm… that is a nice spot for him."
Then he spoke like he was trying to make himself remember, "Intelligent, Courageous, Loyal, Has great Leadership skills and quiet strong as well. Just the man I would want in my security."
"But" He waited, "He's in a penurious situation right now, did you know that?" He asked William. Stay updated through m-v l|e'm,p y r
William nodded, "Yes, that's why I am asking you this favor."
Peanut Butter again nodded as he understood most things, "Hmm… I understand. It will take some resources and time to get him out of it."
William quickly said, "Don't worry about money, If you need any money or anything else, I will provide it."
Peanut Butter smiled and shook his head, "No no, that's not what I meant. We would get you your man and because of your past help, we would like to grant this request of yours for free."
"For free?" William asked as he felt suspicious.
"Yes, we just want say thanks to you by doing this." Peanut Butter said in a way that felt honest to William.
'He is saying the truth.' Anne said to him.
William internally nodded.
Anne would sometimes out of the blue talk with him or ask him things. She also helped him sometimes in ways that were quiet helpful to him. Just like what she said right now.
William smiled, "Well then, give my thanks to the Organization and tell them if they ever needed any help… in a financial way, then I will be glad to help."
Peanut Butter smiled as well, "We are also thankful to that and we might actually put you up on that offer." He said with some subtle meaning which William didn't fully understand.
Peanut Butter looked back down to the photo again and asked, "Before I confirm this with the Organization, do you know why Keith Grimes was put in such a secure location?"
William shook his head, "No I don't. Do you know why?" He asked earnest to know about it.
"Well… it might change your views on him if you were to learn it," Peanut Butter said, "Keith Grimes… a man of many talents, was once a mercenary before an influential family in the Samara Kingdom put him under their service."
"He did many jobs for them and slowly had gotten a place that was quiet important in that family. He had great authority in the force and the family valued him greatly too."
Then he sighed, "But unfortunately everything came crashing down two years later. The family that he had worked under was developing a kind of medicine that was supposed to work greatly in many ways."
"The medicine helped people who had problems in their heart and the family thought that it was in a good state so they brought in a few test subjects to try it on."
"One of them being his only daughter." Peanut Butter stopped as he looked at William's eyes and asked, "You can already see where I am going with this right?"
William said, "Something went wrong, right."
Peanut Butter, "Not only wrong but very wrong. The test not only failed but it backfired and the people who were used as test subjects then contracted several severe diseases that guaranteed their deaths… unless a certain item was given to them."
"Then Keith demanded the item from his employer, which the employer did not give and instead blamed his daughters worsening health as the true cause… which made things worse."
"He went berserk." William said.
"Yes and killed off his employer before killing off half of his family member and was about to kill the other half too if not for the royal forces who were able to finally seal him off to that place."
William widened his eyes fully realizing the truth. He was shocked because the guy was able to kill not only the employer but also half his family tree, which would be quiet hard with the amount of protection such families relied upon.
And him killing off his family and boss, didn't make him that much worried, as he would do the same if he was in Keith's shoes.
"That must mean he is quiet powerful then?"
"He was. It took a lot of manapower to stop him and that too only because we couldn't kill him off swiftly enough." Peanut Butter said, "Now that you know about his story, tell me, do you still want us to get him out?"
William resolutely nodded, He was by no means frightened by it. Instead he was even more excited after knowing that he was so strong. He needed a guy that was strong and about him killing off his employer… he would have to do something to make sure it doesn't happen.
Maybe use the 'Skill' on him.
Peanut Butter spoke breaking William's thoughts, "Alright I will start the procedures for it to be done. It will take some time for all of it to be done, okay. The guy had gotten himself in quite a pickle."
"I hope that it's not that much of a problem for you guys." William asked.
"Oh! Don't worry about that, We can do at least this much for someone as valued as you." Then he turned serious.
"You should worry about how you can get him to work for you."
