Chapter 121: Abduction (1/2)
The next day the whole team are sitting inside a single room of the inn as they are listening to the report Watt is reading after the shadow mice came back.
At the same time, the similar thing is happening inside the Count meeting hall.
”They seemed to be investigating about some gangs and illegal businesses. I heard them when they are talking about a person named Sam who seemed to be busy with something inside the inn.”
The middle-aged man who looked was tasked to keep an eye on them was giving his report to the Count and his son.
”Didn't you find him at the inn then?”
”I tried, but the other party placed some kind of formation, it will not only alarm the party, it seemed to have some offensive functions as well, so I didn't probe him further. It completely concealed him from my vision and spiritual sense.”
”What, a Peak stage Novice like you, can't even see through a formation from a person with a cultivation less than you.?”
”Yes, Master.”
The Count was deep in thought on how to proceed about this, killing all the members crossed his mind, more than once. Because, only he, his son and the servant standing in front of him knew that he is the big-boss of all the crimes.
If they are really investigating the underground business and it is part of their mission, he can't let them go at all.
But the middle-aged man interrupted his thoughts.
”Master, I have something else to report.”
”Do tell.”
”A young lady among their team seemed to posses the qualities you are searching for.”
When he said these words, the room was silent for a second before the count became frenzied.
”What did you say? Are you sure?”
”Yes, master. She has exact same qualities you mentioned. Her spirit and aura are something different and she seemed to possess the mercury marrow constitution you mentioned.”
When the count heard him, he immediately stood up and said.
”Immediately bring her here. Try to con her, if not possible use force. But don't kill anyone openly. We will secretly deal with in dark and nobody of them will be going out of this city alive.”
Count immediately ordered and after the middle-aged man left, he said to his son.
”Gather every member of the clan and gang and be on high alert. We don't know of they had any power house escorting them. Gather all our members in our family estate and guard the door. I will make the ritual arrangements.
Even if the girl is not someone who we are looking for, the conflict will already be started. So, we need to prepare to take them down, but if she is really the one and even if the powerhouse did show up. I need an uninterrupted 3 hours with the girl to perform the ritual, you are in charge of it.”
After that both father and son went on their ways.
At this moment the team members are already done with the report and when they got the news from on of the mice that the Count is suspicious of them, they realised their mistake of being overly active.
They decided that they will put on an act of being on a vacation. So, they separated and went on to various places.
Watt is the only one inside the room with Falck, thinking on how to deal with the situation. He and Jack went overboard with the investigation and somehow their group has been recognised by Count's son.
But at this moment a shadow mouse streaked in and when he heard the news on what it is, he was completely shocked.
The news is about the peak stage Novice making a move to catch a girl from their group. But Watt didn't know who that girl is, but he was glad that the mouse came as soon as it got the news.
That person might not have made a move yet.
But Watt didn't know where the girls are and he didn't know whether their target is Kelly or Jasmine.
He wanted to ask Sam on what to do, but when he opened the door and saw, the ape didn't let him in at all. He tried to say something and Falck translated. Ape also gave an answer.
In short, ”Boss is in a critical stage and we cannot disturb.”
Watt didn't have any choice and came out of the inn, and immediately boarded on Falck.
Both of them flew in the sky as they made loud noise attracting all the attention. Many people only looked at them with curiosity, but they didn't care much.
But the teammates recognised them and followed the duo. Watt was searching for the girls as fast as he can. He finally spotted them at the beach.
When Watt landed, he was already late, the Peak stage novice already reached the place and is talking to the two ladies.
