179 Infiltrate (2/2)

\”Oh you are going to include me in this. I have a bone to pick with those people.\” Ellen said in an aggrieved manner.

\”But Ellen…\”

\”It's fine, Uncle.\” Raven interjected before they argue even further. He then looked towards his friend and said: \”You guys will come with us. BUT! You're following my instructions, are we clear?\”

Seeing them nod, Raven was satisfied. He then beckoned them to come closer and gave them strict instructions about their tasks. He constantly reminded them to follow the plan since it would be a swift one, they can't allow any mishaps to happen and they already discussed what to do in case of emergencies anyway.

On the side, Luis could only shake his head and laugh, kids nowadays are such busybodies. On the other hand, Bradley's still hesitant about this.

\”Are you sure that it's going to be fine?\” He asked Raven just to make sure.

\”It will be fine Uncle, so long as they follow my instructions they won't be in any danger at all. They're mainly tasked with saving the victims during the raid since we can't look after them.\”

Seeing Raven's confident response, Bradley couldn't say anything more. Instead, he just went over with the plan with Raven once again. Once they straightened out every single details and remember the key points of the plan, all that's left is to execute it.

The infiltration act was scheduled during the night.

Raven and the rest of his team were gathered not too far from the Mort Family Estate. Eyes shining with his ocular technique active, Raven spied through the estate and carefully checked their defenses. As expected, this place became heavily guarded ever since the incident about the stolen recipe from the Pill Saint Pavilion. The guard were unnaturally active and glaring at each spot, some were even glancing at their general direction.

Thankfully, Raven considered this scene and arranged the gathering place in a position where the guards can't see clearly. This made it so that even some guards are looking at their direction, they won't be spotted. He beckoned them to gather around him, when they were huddled, he spoke:

\”Remember your tasks. I will only be me and Uncle Bradley that will create chaos inside, you guys stay here and wait until we create an opening for you. Assume position and wait for the victims, escort them somewhere safe and make sure to guard them, understood?\”

Seeing them nod, Raven's heart was settled. He placed his trust in his friends and went ahead with Bradley. He held Bradley's arm and concentrated, using his psyche, he sensed the marker that he left inside one of the warehouse of the estate.

Upon sensing it, he pulled the link and both his and Bradley's body disappeared from where they were. After a brief second, they found themselves standing inside the warehouse. Raven gasped and quickly drank some concoctions he created so that he will recover faster, Bradley stood guard and spread his senses everywhere, doing some minor spying while his nephew was recovering.

After sometime, Raven opened his eyes and his exhaustion disappeared. He then stood up and went close to Bradley. \”How's the situation, Uncle?\”

\”Not bad. I sensed fourteen guards roaming around, they're weak but all of them are carrying an Alert Symbol. It was just as you said.\”

\”Then we move according to the plan. If you will, Uncle.\” Raven said to which Bradley nodded.

Bradley then closed his eyes and spread his sense like a spider web. He was scanning his surroundings patiently and waited for the right timing. Raven stood beside and similarly looking around as well, he knew that Bradley is in a very sensitive state right now and he can't allow any mishaps to happen.

Minutes passed since Bradley entered that mysterious state. In his mind, the location and habits of the roaming guards were imprinted and taken into careful consideration. It was then that the perfect moment arrived when every single guard that he sensed earlier was within the web of his senses.

Bradley's eyes snapped open and a low growl escaped his throat. All of the guards around the warehouse froze, they didn't knew what was going on but for some reason they can't move.

Suddenly, the door of the warehouse flew open. Then a shadow instantly jumped through the roof and spun rapidly while throwing needles that landed precisely on the guards neck. After that, all fourteen guards were found unconscious on the ground.
