Chapter 44: Rosenthal Inn of Street 13

Cynthia Rosenthal, the lady manager of this inn.

She had a pair of deep amber eyes, showering warmth with her gaze. Her long dark chestnut hair is tied in a bun to not get in the way of her work. She had a mature and elegant face as if she hadn’t aged a little. She wasn’t too plump like other mature women Leon had seen. She was slightly curvy, yet giving birth made her hips widen with protruding plump pairs of asses, and her large boobs grew, which were held tightly by her dress. Along with that slim waist, she was prime to breed.

She was a beautiful MILF who Leon had his own; unfortunately, she was married and had a kid recently. So, he crossed her off of his list.

"Lady Cynthia, how have you been?" Pooland didn’t answer his question immediately and greeted her.

"I am fine except for my aches in pain these few days." Cynthia said while rubbing her shoulder, resulting in the cloth pulling her tits up and down.

Leon looked at them with a pure appreciative gaze, wondering inwardly how good her milk would taste.

"Lady Cynthia, you are working nonstop, not even taking a break after you gave birth." Pooland spoke with concern. "I think you should take a long rest and get your body healthy before working again."

Cynthing let out a sigh of dismay and said. "I want to but can’t. I am just a lowly member of the family. With the stroke of luck and hard work, I reached this stage, gaining the trust of the family’s high-ranking members. If I don’t work properly, I will lose this position."

Pooland couldn’t say anything but sympathize with her.

On the other hand, Leon understood the situation she was in. She had no great talent or backup, only reaching this with her connection to the family. If she lost this job, she would practically be jobless forever. Not homeless, as she still had her husband.

"Okay, now tell me. Do you want to inspect or not? I can’t waste now. Currently, we have a load of work on our shoulders." Cynthia asked in a hurried tone with a calm and serene gaze.

"As expected of Madam Cynthia, she is always prepared for anything." Leon said with a smile, in a joking tone.

Cynthia looked Leon up and down, inwardly clicking her tongue. Then she replied. "Well, you two are making quite a ruckus in the streets. The smaller families are all dissatisfied."

"That has to be expected." Leon raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders. "We are targeting only them, not anyone else. It makes everyone think they are easy to bully. They are noble families; to get bullied by mere city guards, it would be surprising if they didn’t."

"Ehh..." Cynthia’s eyes widened a little and her lips curved up. "You...I didn’t expect you guys to be like this. Mocking and looking down on us."

Clearly, Leon’s words triggered Cynthia a little. Well, Leon deliberately said in that tone to rile her up.

The investigation of the past few days made Leon feel he couldn’t just inspect the place; he had to inspect the individual in charge thoroughly too.

So, what better way than making them mad? The classic skill he learned from doom scrolling social media.

"Madam Cynthia, you are mistaking me. I just answered your question." Leon spoke, backing away a little as if he were a victim and were about to get assaulted.

Cynthia squinted her eyes, deciding to drop this matter. She felt the more she engaged with him, the more she would be exposing herself.

"Fine, just search this place and be done with." Cynthia waved her hands and spoke with an annoyed tone. "I have too much work left."

"Sure. Lead the way, Madam Cynthia." Leon nodded his head and gestured with his hands to take them forward.

Afterward, Cynthia brought them to many places in the inn. From the kitchen, staff room, guest rooms, storage room, dining hall, etc.

’This four-story inn has quite a lot of facilities. I didn’t expect they also occupied such a large place. These noble families sure have a lot of money.’ Leon was once again amazed, just like every time, inspecting the shops, public houses, and entertainment facilities these smaller noble families owned.

However, going through the entire inn, Leon noticed something strange. For such a huge inn, there were not many staff present, and the few staff they had, they were all female. There were no male staff members.

Instead, the guests were all male. He couldn’t see any female guests.

This was so bizarre that even Pooland caught the hint of it.

Leon and Pooland stared into each other, relaying their reaction. However, they decided to remain silent and see through the situation more.

At present, they were at the underground section where they put all the unused items and devices.

"Do you guys want to check these too?" Cynthia asked with a smirk on her face. She would be more than happy to see them.

Leon glanced at this pile of trash filled with dust and spider webs. He decided on his new skill that he created recently, which has come in handy for these past couple of days.

[Life Sense: Detects nearby living beings through their Life Essence]

Leon’s world changed before his eyes. Everything became gray except for the two green light bulbs, which were Cynthia and Pooland. He shifted his gaze around the room and then caught the sight of a flickering green light bulb coming beneath the corner of the room.

The next moment, his eyes tingled in pain, causing him to cancel the skill immediately.

"What’s wrong?" Cynthia noticed his expression and asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Leon, did something happen?" Pooland too asked with concern.

Leon held the back pain, not letting it show. He cracked a smile and rubbed his eyes, showing signs of red. "Madam Cynthia, I think you should immediately clean this place up. My eyes caught dust, and oh boy, these dust particles are so big yet so tiny."
