Chapter 4 - getting some info

i made myself some normal breakfast some bread with butter 

a few months ago viktor didnt have enough money for butter and just ate the bread with nothing

but because viktor took the extra job from edward he has some extra money now

he is a bit happy that he atleast has butter right now 

even though it isnt the worst it still isnt that good the bread and butter are both quite cheap and are both multiple days old which makes them taste not that good but its enough to strenghten myself 

i went outside it was quite a poor neighbourhood with many street girls and many homeless 

i wonder how should i act should i steal something 

but right now its in the middle of the day and in east borough there isnt much to steal he would also feel quite guilty to steal from someone whos already very poor and although there are people who have some more than the rest in east borough it isnt by to much 

i guess the richest to rob would be the gangs here i also wouldnt feel to guilty 

but i would definitely need a mask that they dont recognize me since i dont plan on killing 

maybe i should also think about going out of east borough to steal although i shouldnt pick a 

noble since it will bring official beyonders maybe finding a good target in the middle classes would be good 

i guess i should try to find a target in cherwood borough its where the middle classes live 

its good that the original viktor already talked with his boss to have a day off today for drinking the potion that gives me the time to look for a target today since i didnt plan on robbing just anyone they should either be bad in my opinion or have enough where it doesnt matter to them that i stole something since i deciding to go to cherwood borough i went and found a public carriage 

and went to cherwood borough it cost me 2 soli quite expensive for my budget 

when i arrived i didnt know what to do should i just sit at a bench and wait around? 

after some thought i decided to go to a bar maybe i can find there something 

after a quick walk i found a bar not to far away its called tigers bar 

compared to the bars that viktor saw in east borough this one was quite clean 

i went and sat down at the front although there were other tables nearby which i would have more preferred to sit i didnt because i wanted to talk to the bar keeper and maybe find something out 

the bar keeper was an middle aged man with brown hair and brown eyes

and he had quite a big forearm which made him look quite strong

"one Southville Beer"

"5 pence"

i paid and soon got the beer i drank a bit and it wasnt to bad 

"has anything big happened recently"

i wanted to get to talk to him hopefully i get something useful out of it 

"hmm there was a big scandal where a con artist swindled quite a loot of money out of people"

"hes now being searched by the police"

"is there a bounty if someone finds him?"

"no for now not are you a bounty hunter?"

i wonder should i say yes or no to that i might be able to get more info if i say yes or he would not find it as suspicious why im asking so many questions 

"yeah i sometimes work part time as a bounty hunter but its just a side job for me"

"i see from what i know although the police didnt put a bounty on him there was a woman from who he swindled money that put a bounty on him for 25pounds"

for me thats quite a lot of money but for now i should rather find someone i can rob to digest the potion rather than try to get money 

"did anything else happend it doesnt need to be something with a bounty im just interested"

"well a factory exploded a few weeks bless the lord of storms because it started to rain before any other buildings were affected"

"the workers there were hurt quite badly although for now nobody is dead there is one worker whos still in a coma and the other workers were also quite injured and are still in the hospital from what i heard"

"there is also quite a bit of hate against the factory owner now since he didnt pay the compensation money yet and quite a few of those workers soon cant pay for the hospital anymore"

"could you tell me the name of the factory owner and some more of him?"

"hes called Louis perry he was originaly born in intis and went to backlund for a better live i heard"

i continued to make some small talk with the bar keeper and drank my beer out slowly 

"ill be going now thanks for the stories"

i payed an extra 2 pence for his good service although i feel that im becoming more poor i hope i can get a lot of money from this Louis perry
