Chapter 112: Investigation (2/2)

Today night, he has some plans and that is to get his hands on the drug that is being supplied by the tiger fish.

But since he is in suspect list of the Black water, he doesn't want to show his face yet. So, he sent Jack to buy some at a contact point of the Tiger fish.

That night, Sam took a look at the pills Jack brought back and gave it to the ape to take a sniff and the ape gave an utterly disgusted expression.

Why did Sam do this? The ape has another ability and that is distinguishing the herbs. But it doesn't know, the qualities of the herbs and their uses all it can sense is whether the herbs and fruits are tasty or not according to its preferences and the preference of the ape is never wrong.

So, Sam said some words.

”From tomorrow, collect the herbs you think that are used in this pill.”

The ape nodded as it ate a fruit which looked like pear.

Sam left the divine dimension and went into a deep thought.

First, he needs to observe the effects of the drug to see what he can do with this.

Sam had an idea on how to deal with the two big shot organisations. That is even if they are the two organisations operating together discreetly under the black water, the info must have been only known to the people in charge and other important members.

The remaining members though, are all in the dark. Otherwise the façade will collapse easily.

So, Sam wants to use their disputes to take on each other and before that, he needs the effects of this drug on the people to see if he can use this to his benefit.

Next day, Sam went to the woods with the ape, but this time he didn't practice combat instead he followed the ape inside the woods.

And by the evening, the ape found six herbs which are supposedly part of the drug.

When they went back, Sam went to a drug contact point, but he didn't buy any, rather he waited for a customer.

He waited till midnight and finally a young man bought some and walked away hurriedly.

Sam stealthily followed him and after an hour of walking in circles, the young man led the way to his home. When Sam secretly looked inside the home, he saw the young man feeding the pill to a crazy looking man who seemed to be in his late twenties.

After taking the pills, the crazy look was gone and was replaced with euphoria and ecstasy. He seemed to be in some kind of illusion as he muttered something about his love and a woman.

Sam kept on observing and when the drug seemed to be wearing off, the young man fed another pill and the addict seemed to immediately fall asleep.

He went back to the inn and the next day, he similarly followed other customers and what he knew is that the addicts themselves didn't come to buy them at all.

All the people who came are the relatives of the addicts and effects of the drug are similar to the first person he saw.

For the first pill, they will feel euphoria and the second pill seemed to make them sleep.

But the herbs that the ape found weren't sufficient to cause all these effects and there must be some kind of special ingredient.

But Sam didn't find the last item in the next two weeks.

The third report from the shadow mice gave him some news and that is that the organisations are really linked together by the Arena and this news seemed to be only known by three people.

But there is no news on the officials and the list also narrowed down considerably. There are only few officials left who climbed their ranks up as commoners.

All the officials from the noble families are clean. Even though, they are corrupt but they don't have anything to do with these organisations.

In a week it would be one month since he came to this city and Sam wants to gather the info as soon as possible.

Then only he suddenly remembered the monthly report the mice stole in the Falcon Cliff city and Sam immediately gave an order.

”Steal the documents, from all three organisations this week. Don't hoard all of them, just steal some which are well placed or treated as important.”

The mice went onto their duty and Sam is still thinking about the herb.

Since, he wasn't able to think of anything, he went on a stroll.
