Chapter 112: Investigation (1/2)

Sam sent the remaining two mice to the Count mansion, to keep a track on the officials. The info he got was that there are two officials supporting the two big organisations each in the dark and the gang leader he killed even mentioned that this is not a secret in the under-ground circle, it is just that they don't know who those two officials are.

So, Sam decided one thing, he must deal with the two officials before he could get his hands on the two big organisations.

The two shadow mice, which went to Count mansion are going to follow an official each for a whole week.

If the officials are clean, then they will change the targets, this is what Sam thought out.

Until then, he and Jack will slowly erode the small gangs.

Midnight.

In the Arena, the great mage who recognised Sam, is sitting with two people. Both of them are Peak Novices.

”Rank 5 Artisan Sam is here.” The Great mage who is a middle-aged man said in a low voice. The expressions of the two people changed.

”He is one of the suspects behind the elimination of the Black pond in the Falcon Cliff city. Higher ups said that even though Sam might not be directly involved in the attack, there is a chance that he made the special poison that killed our people.”

”Maybe, the culprit has asked Sam to make them this item and he didn't have any idea where the culprit is using them. After all, he is an artisan and many people can buy things from him.

And most importantly at that time he is still in Novice Level 1. It is impossible for him to attack all of them at the same time.

Even though, the poison is involved, I think there is a great possibility that at least a Novice peak Level is involved in this.

If possible, we can even ask him who that person is and investigate.” A peak level Novice said.

”We will observe things for now and see why is he here and then we can decide on how to proceed.” The great mage then dismissed the meeting.

After the meeting dismissed, the shadow mouse in the dark immediately left the room. Even though, he got some information, he is in no hurry to report to Sam.

Sam has clearly mentioned that they have to report weekly and also told them to gather as much info as possible.

Meanwhile, Sam is sleeping in the inn. Even though, he is wealthy enough to buy a house, he is not that interested this time, he has some plans to his wealth and he also needs to stay low profile.

The next day, Sam went into the woods and let the ape out. He still needs to activate the bloodline of the Ape, but it would be better if he is on same level or higher level than the ape. Then he doesn't have to put much effort and risk being weak for days.

He is here to practice some combat with the beasts here and catch some beasts exclusive to this region to have taste.

As for the ape, it is responsible for the search of the fruit trees and the herbs.

For the next week, Sam ventured into the woods every morning. Since, he was occupied with other things, he doesn't have enough time to practice his combat. Now, he has enough time.

Every morning he was in the woods and night he and Jack investigated the small gangs slowly.

The previous gang leader, he has killed is the weakest among them and his position was already taken over by someone else.

But he isn't in a hurry to take them down.

After dealing with the two officials, he can take these guys on as leisurely as he wants.

And now all the shadow mice came to report to him.

After hearing the repot he got some important news and that is the Arena is the Black water's branch in this city and they have suspicions on him.

Then only he realised the mistake of not cleaning the battle field. He thought that, the count will make sure to clean it up after he sent the letter as robin hood. But now only he realised that he didn't.

If not for the fact he was unconscious after the battle, he might have cleaned up himself.

But Sam didn't know that it was his fault. Just after he was taken away by Jack, the great mage from the nearest city already came and took a look at the battle field and reported it to the higher ups. That happened even before he wrote the letter to the Count Falcon.

But Shadow mice didn't have any evidence on whether the two big gangs are part of the Black water or not.

As for the two mice following the two officials, the officials turned out to be clean and didn't have any connections with the other underground forces.

So, Sam sent them back and he went on with his daily routine.
