Chapter 310 - 263 : The First Step (1/2)
After a quarter of an hour, the three subordinates soundlessly appeared in the central room of this hideout. Lucy and Arthur followed right after, waiting for the detailed information.
Today, Arthur wanted clear answers about the kidnapping of the past. Although they weren't directly involved with the past torture, they still contributed thus they can only be considered enemies, people who shouldn't be left alive or else his thirst for revenge will never be quelled.
”Report.”
Lucy's emotionless voice resounded in this dark and cold room, where the only source of light is a few hanging lamps that illuminated only a small part of this awfully sinister place.
”Yes, Mistress! The BattleCrawler is a medium-sized mercenary group. Notorious for handling dirty jobs and tricking their employers to gain more money.
Since the appearance of the System, they gained more power thanks to their leader, who obtained a special set of skills. They usually operate in the Middle-East or Central Africa, however, we've found a few cases where they took jobs in Asia.”
When the first one finished speaking, the woman on the right proceeded to report right after:
”The group has over fifty members with two vice-leaders who are a bit weaker than the chef.
Sadik Saad is the leader of this mercenary group, it is known he is Lv156 but the truth is that he surpassed the 200 boundary around three months ago.
He is also nurturing a young talent he accidentally found in Libya, North of Africa. Her potential is proclaimed to be unmatched, with the exception of the beast child, Saly.
Sadik is trying his best to hide her existence but many powers already have their eyes on her. We even received many requests to kill her or capture her.”
When the second 'shadow' finished her report, the one at the middle initiated the last but not least report:
”Currently, they are residing in their main base situated South of Russia, a few miles away from a hidden dungeon that has not been discovered yet.”
A bit curious, Arthur asked:
”Don't they operated in Africa and the Middle-East, what are they doing South of Russia.”
Although it was pretentious for an unknown stranger to ask them directly, the woman at the middle answered after a slight hesitation:
”We haven't confirmed it yet but there's a rumor that they were secretly contacted by the Russian Government to carry out a mission. There's also another rumor about the possible existence of a massive gold mine under the dungeon.”
Arthur nodded his head and spread his sense, with the approximate location in his mind, it would be a piece of cake to find their target, as for the possibility of being facing some resistance? There is no way such a thing would happen unless a God Monarch was hiding on Earth for god knows why.
After a bit more than five seconds, the mercenary group was found by Arthur.
Surprisingly, they were living in a large villa with tents spread out in the massive garden.
twenty-five presences were sensed and amongst them, there were two who are slightly stronger than the rest.
Although, it's 'slightly', that's only from Arthur's point of view. In reality, the leader of this group is significantly stronger than his subordinates, in fact, he could slaughter them all by himself if he wished, but for Arthur, they were all mortals who can be killed with only his aura.
”I found them.”
In response to him, Lucy nodded and signaled for the subordinates to leave. Contrary to her expectations, the woman at the middle hesitated for a second before she said
”Mistress, do you want us to dispose of them? You do not need to dirty your hands with the fool's blood.”
Her words seemed pretty sincere, unfortunately, the subordinate didn't receive the answer she yearned for. She wanted to properly serve Lucy, who recruited her and trained her to become this powerful, where she's afraid of no one.
”No need, we'll do it personally.”
