Chapter 106: A Murderous Animal, a Leech, and Vipers Trap (1/2)

Along the way, Leo didn't forget to take away all the valuable things from the dead Black organization's men and hiding them inside the net bags with the Magical Beast bodies.

This time, there were just too many net bags to carry. So, Leo could only go back and forth until he finally took out all the net bags from the cave. He then slowly moves all the net bags to the building of the North Sewer Management back and forth, again.

While going back and forth, Leo naturally didn't forget to always check around his surrounding in case the leader who had successfully escaped was just hiding around the area waiting for him to exit the cave of the north sewer in order to report him back to their base. Fortunately, there was no presence of that person. Maybe he had returned to base after leaving the cave.

After the Vice-Head of the North Sewer Management checked all the heads of the Magical Beast that Leo had 'supposedly' hunted, he then gave the Official Seal of Completion with a total of 1,500 points to the latter.

Leo was feeling really excited while receiving the Official Seal of Completion. To be honest, it was really out of his expectations that he will be able to have this much of a bountiful harvest this time around. Not only did he destroyed the secret operation of the Black organization, but he had also taken the 12 pieces of large Mana stones for himself, he also took out all the valuables from the dead Black organization soldiers, and lastly, he received all the Magical Beast that was killed by the Black organization for himself, specifically a total of 150 Magical Beast equivalent to 1,500 points.

While leaving the North Sewer Management, Leo didn't forget to check the area nearby once again from time to time for assurance.

Arriving outside, Leo quickly hails a public carriage to take him to Sword and Magic. This time, he wouldn't sell any of the 12 pieces of large Mana stones to Madam Silva, but instead only the Magical Beast bodies and the valuables he had got from the dead Black organization's men. Surely, Madam Silva wouldn't mind not having some pieces this time around, right? Especially since he had worked extremely hard this time to get them, too.

.....

Meanwhile, Richton finally arrived at the base of operation of the Black organization in Silver city. No one could have thought that the base of operation of the Black organization in Silver city was actually just opposite from the store of Sword and Magic, specifically a competitor's store called Black Magic.

This really proves the saying, the most dangerous place is the most safest. Who would have really thought that the Black organization would actually choose to establish their base just in front of Sword and Magic, right?

At this moment, Richton was feeling nervous and afraid while deciding whether or not he should get inside, specifically from the back alley of their base of operation, or not.

The assassin had after all practically killed all of the men assigned to Richton for this secret operation. Who he doesn't know was actually Leo. Hence, he really feared what kind of punishment he will receive from those Elders the moment he went inside.

Moreover, Richton's only way of reducing his punishment was also killed by the assassin, too. So, he doesn't have anyways now to try to evade the worst punishment possible.

'Will I be killed due to how incapable I was, or will I be given another chance?'

Basing on how the Black organization treats its members, the former consequences would highly likely be Richton's punishment.

That's the exact reason why Richton was feeling afraid and nervous at this moment.

”F*ck! It's all that assassin's fault that I'm facing such a situation right now!” Richton can't help but to curse out loud the assassin for putting him in this kind of dire situation. If only the assassin didn't attack them during their retreat, then he wouldn't have to face possible life-threatening punishment from those Elders.

After a few minutes of deciding whether he should get in or not, Richton finally went to grab the doorknob while closing his eyes as he carefully opens the door.

Getting inside the base of operation, Richton opened his eyes as he braced himself from the worst possible scenario.

Inside the room, as soon as Richton opened his eyes, he was immediately greeted by the 3 Elders of the Black organization's base of operation in Silver city. Contrary to what he had expected though, the 3 Elders weren't actually showing an ugly expression or disappointment; it was more like they were nonchalant about what had just happened.

Actually, the Black organization had this kind of tool that they gave the 3 Elders that allowed them to check the vital signs of the members who had gone out to complete the mission called Tablet of Life.

This Tablet of Life had a dropped of blood from the members of the Black organization before they had gone to their mission. A broken tablet means the person was dead, and an intact one meant they were alive.

Also, they have a map called, Magic Map, that could scan the location of the 12 pieces of large Mana stones as long as it was inside the cave that the Black organization's men had gone to and also the movement of all their soldiers in the cave.

So, the 3 Elders had practically been watching the happenings inside the cave by using those tools.

Taking a glimpse at the map, Richton quickly saw that the 12 pieces of large Mana stones were already gone. Obviously, the assassin had taken it away, which signifies he had failed the mission and that the assassin actually knew about those 12 pieces of large Mana stones.

”I...” Richton wanted to explain, but he was immediately interrupted by one of the Elders.

”Don't worry, the price we paid was within our expectations. But you should still tell us everything that had happened inside the cave, from the beginning till the end!” A man with a muscular body and a cross scar in his right eye said solemnly.

This man's name was, Escobar. One of the Elders in the base of operation of the Black organization in the Silver City. He is a Magical Knight who was granted such power by one of the High Elders of the Black organization. He is like a murderous animal that only has killing and becoming stronger as his number one goal.

Despite being a Magical Knight, Escobar was someone that shouldn't be offended by just anyone, since his strength was actually comparable to a 6 Star Magical Beast. Moreover, the person behind him should also be taken into consideration before offending him.

Imagine, just how powerful was that High Elder in order for that person to be capable of giving Escobar such strength. It would surely be around 8 or 9 Star Mage in order for them to grant someone such power. So, offending Escobar would also be the same as offending that High Elder.

”First, how did you fail and who had caused you to fail!! ”A Mage with an eyeglass and an ugly face said angrily as he suddenly released a strong Pure Mana pressure towards Richton, causing the latter's body to immediately kneel down on the ground right after.
