Chapter 595: Smuggled out (2/2)

”What are we waiting for then? Let us go.”

”There is something I need to do before that.” With that Buck went into the room and he seemed to have been laying down a formation and took out a weird-looking plant.

He came out and closed the door, when Sam scanned the room with the spiritual sense he couldn't see much difference. He could feel a presence of a person that is at the nascent level.

”Disguise technique. I am good at it.”

With that, he led the four of them down the stairs and led them to another room. He led all four of them inside that room and removed a floor tile before shoving them inside.

Then reappeared on the door next door and at this moment, there is another person waiting on the other side of the tunnel. After five of them are out, that person went back into the tunnel.

”Where is he going?” One of the three asked him in confusion.

”To take care of the tunnel.”

”How did the tunnel go unnoticed all this while? Surely, they would have noticed such a large movement if something is going on like that when they put so many people in this inn.” This time it is Sam who asked the question.

But he didn't get an answer except for the gesture that he would explain later.

Buck gestured them and they walked into the building which seemed like a warehouse. There the five of them changed into a different set of clothes before Buck taking out a few amulets and giving them.

”They are hard to make and they are only good for a few minutes, so hold it in your hands and don't activate them before l tell you. Be careful.”

With that he led them outside and then they walked out of the compound and walked to the road directly and they are walking towards the end of the street.

When they were a few feet before the turn, Buck slowly said under his breath.

”Activate the amulets now.”

When the four of them entered the spiritual energy inside, they felt like a weird aura was enveloping them.

When the guards at the end of the street stopped them, Buck took out a badge and explained something. The guards scanned them with their spiritual sense and let them go.

They walked out and went through some streets before going to a neighborhood that could lead them directly into the nearby forest. They are making their way out of the city and are going to take a hidden route to the Hot spring city and from there, they are going to the seashore.

The journey is smooth sailing as, by the next afternoon, they were out and when they reached the port city they docked on, they were shoved into some fish boxes and boarded on to the ship and were only let out after they left the waters.

”So, are you going to explain how you did this?” Sam asked. Now they are both alone and no one else is there to eavesdrop.

”It is my business secret, but judging from what I see you are not interested in this business. But since you are my treasured partner, I will reveal you a little bit of info.

”The tunnel was not dug during the expedition. But it was dug way before this whole situation. The man who went back into the tunnel was the one who did it and before the inspection happened, the tunnel was already there. But they wouldn't inspect that room so intently because that man is there for more than a month before the expedition and he is the seafood supplier of the inn.

So, they wouldn't let the six representatives bully him too much and cut some slack. And the warehouse we entered is also his. And both he and his possessions are mine.

He is my subordinate and he runs a seafood business in this area. And since for every year at this time, the business is high, his company has to send some expensive live fish to the inn and so he would stay there to supervise everything regarding them.

And I used my tricks to disguise the tunnel to escape from the mediocre inspection. That is how you guys got out.

Now the news will get out that you guys escaped and the guards will spread out and the leash on the inn will be reduced a bit. Because, every time their immediate response is to not check the escape method, rather finding the escapees.

So, before that happens, he will close the tunnel and erase every trace of it as he is the last suspect due to the guarantee of the inn's owner. That is the gist of it. Even though it sounds impossible and non-plausible and there might be a lot of loose ends in the story. My main expertise is in tying those loose ends and if I reveal those tricks to you, I will have an extra competitor.”
