Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

"Did you mean the organization that would do anything you ask, for the right price?" asked Matthew, feeling uncertain. He hadn't been aware that the Scarlet Devils had a stronghold in the River City as well.

"Yes." Pearce thought again for a moment before he added, "It's actually interesting that the Scarlet Devils has never taken any serious action in the River City. But even if they did commit crimes here, they would leave no incriminating evidence. So this organization didn't occur to me at first, since they've always been very low-key here in this city."

"Don't worry. They are overwhelmed by the recent loss of their son. Saying their thoughts out loud would help them all the better to make peace," Matthew responded thoughtfully. "The most important thing for us to do now is discover the murderer."
