Chapter 1081: Black Curtain (1/2)

Sam and the team reached the realm where the assassin organization's branch is.

The organization is actually disguised as a merchant association. And they are called the Black Curtain Merchant association.

Everyone knows they take jobs for killing people, but nobody dares to confront them, in every place, they are right now, they control the underworld and even the local governments have to comply.

If they were made known about Sam's arrival because of Hou Yi's stupid attempt to delay Sam, then things would have been really troublesome, as they had a great experience in going to hiding and fight long-lasting annoying battles.

But luckily the team managed to cut off the chain when they dealt with the last organization that are responsible for spreading the news to others.

Anyway, if the chain reaction would have to trigger again, they would rather let this Black curtain gone first before anything else happens, it would be really annoying if the guys from this organization escaped with the heirloom.

Sam and the team entered the city directly this time. All they did is try their best to hide their cultivation and keep a bit of a low profile.

They enquired a bit and entered the inn that was under the Black Curtain.

When they settled in, Sam conducted a meeting.

When everyone came in, he took out a small device and pressed a button, an energy wave occurred and a few small popping sounds were heard in the walls and corners of the room.

”Too many things to spy on the people.”

Sam muttered and said to the team.

”I want you guys to enquire about some rare herbs in the vicinity and how to find them. Try to be a team and at the same time be on odds with each other when you are not with each other. Act a bit suspicious.”

”Boss, what is with all the acting? Can we not just deal with them directly?”

”They have at least eighteen branches in different realms and every realm has at least one or two organizations that have people with Peak stage Transcendent cultivation of Astral Plane. But they still didn't manage to take control of this group. Of course, part of the reason would be that they use them for their dirty work, but that doesn't make them any less dangerous.

If we openly do something to them, we would be poking a hornet's nest. If the hornets are just targeting us, it would be okay, but these hornets will just escape from our sites.

We need to create confusion and some chaos. Then after making sure that another chain reaction doesn't occur, we can deal with them.”

With that, Sam gave them some specific instructions before letting them go.

The next day, Agar went to the pharmaceutical shop to ask about some herbs, later that afternoon, Tamas went there and sneakily approached the shop attendant. He took out a picture of Agar and asked him.

”I think she came to the shop you are working at this morning. I want to know what she asked for.”

The attendant looked at him suspiciously.

But Tamas just slipped a spatial ring into his hands and asked.

”Now can you tell me?”

”Sir, I really am tempted by your offer, but she was very secretive about the whole process and talked to my boss privately. But if you want, I have a way to get some information. The price will be higher.”

”Don't care about the price. I need the information.”

With that Tamas left as sneakily as he met him.

The same things kept on happening the next week. Everyone on the team contacted a seller on something and every one of them wanted to find what the other is buying.

The whole process is chaotic but completely under the wraps, except for the few people in the city and the people that are involved in the sham without even knowing cared about it.

Sam is also involved in this.

In fact, he actually managed to fish some more information than the others and after exactly one week, he went to meet the manager of the inn.

”Hello, I heard that you wanted to meet me.”

The manager asked Sam.

”Yes, I do. But do you mind stopping the recording devices all over the room? It is getting a bit problematic for me to ignore them.”

The Manager smiled and used some tokens to turn off the recording devices.

”So, now you can tell me.”

”I would like to put up an assignment.”
