Chapter 969: Scouting (1/2)

Sam and Sark are currently sitting inside a forest as they looked at a piece of rag. It was covered in mud and Sam is trying to uncover the rag without losing any possible blood or other marks that could be on it.

When he was done, he gave it to Sia who looked at it. There seemed to be some kind of embroidery design on it, but since it was torn they couldn't see what is truly is. But Sia smiled and said.

”It is hit. He really came to this side of the mine, he might have escaped that way.” She pointed in the direction they found the rag.

But Sam is not as optimistic about it, he thought for a moment and asked.

”The rag is not that difficult to find, why do you think the soldiers from the Azure Blood Demon family didn't find it?”

When he mentioned it, she also began thinking of other possibilities.

”This mud cleared off all the bodily scent that we could have used. Let us go try to find some other information or we can wait for another event like this to happen.”

After that, they began walking away and Sam looked at the possible path in which this guy might have escaped one more time before he left.

They came back to the city and went to a bar.

”So, why are we here?” Sia asked as she looked around.

”Of course, why would we be at a bar? To drink.”

”I thought we need to work.”

”We do and we did and we are going to do so. I would never let my work impede my time of vanity.” Sam answered and took seat at the counter, gesturing Sia to take the one next to him.

He looked at the menu and ordered one drink after another as he sampled them. There are not too many varieties here and they are also not exactly the best wines.

Sam looked around. This is the best bar in the city and everyone is flocking inside drinking like pigs, but the wine here is one of the worst wines he had to the date.

”Seems like I have some business opportunities here.”

Sam said as he came out of the bar and Sia hurriedly took out her own wine to wash away that disgusting flavor she just tasted.

”I thought demons would know how to enjoy life. But turns out I was wrong.” Sia said as they walked.

After some more roaming and scouting the city, Sam and Sia came back to the residence. Since this is in the mountain region, the terrain is not completely even and there are many paths, Sam could take advantage of.

In fact, the whole city seemed to have been built on along with the uneven mountain terrain without any leveling.

After returning to the residence, soon the rest of the people also came with a bunch of information.

Sam took out a map of the whole city which he bought that day itself and started  marking.

The map only included the city and the surroundings are completely denoted a forests or mountains, there is no mention of the properties of the Azure demon family or any other person for that matter that might have been outside the city range.

But Sam and his team managed to see a few properties of Azure Demon Family out of the city.

Some mines, some fields across the mountain and some factories.

Unlike Sam who went for the latest attack information, they went for the information about the properties instead.

”There are still a bunch of properties we hadn't visited yet. Until now, including your visit, we went to five properties. And out of wife, three have already been attacked. From the looks of it, he is going to attack even more properties. By day after tomorrow, we will finish visited the rest of the properties and find out which are attacked and which are not.

The information from the city has not been accurate. It seems like the family hid all the attacks from outside. Their situation might even be worse than what rumors are saying.”
