115 Underground Lab Raid

After finishing everything with Arima Kishou that Lucien wanted to discuss, he returned back to his estate only to hear rather bad news. It was mainly about a certain person named Kano Akihiro and special order from his father to promptly exterminate this person.

Apparently, someone found a secret research facility that belonged to the Kano Akihiro and it was located beneath the Yasuhisa Mansion, which is the property of the Commission of Counter Ghoul. From the report given to him by Zelilios, Kano was working there for a rather long time, researching the ghoulification process on how to turn normal humans into ghouls.

Lucien then turned to Zelilios who was standing behind him all the time as he was reading the report about the Kano's underground laboratory.

"Who found about the existence of this facility?"

Asked Lucien with a rather angry voice as he finished reading the report itself.

"Apparently, Aogiri Tree itself. Kano is in close relationship with the Vasuki organization and thus the Washuu Clan itself. They found about the existence of this underground lab by accident, when they were spying on the assistant of Kano."

Answered Zelilios swiftly, seeing that His Highness is apparently very angry now.

"Aogiri Tree would want to raid that lab and we will join. We must capture Kano Akihiro by any means and kill him. Also, another priority is securing the research of his, something like that cannot fall into the hands of the Washuu Clan. Either it would be ours or destroyed for all eternity. Contact Aogiri Tree and tell them I agree to raid it."

Said Lucien as he stood up and walked away from the study room. He went to his room, where Itori was already waiting for him, clothed in a very provocative way. She was laying on the huge king-sized bed and reading some book, that Lucien gave her. She was very eager to learn new things, now she was aware of the fact, they would be entering the much vaster world and she was totally lacking information. Even Lucien and his people didn't have all pieces of information, but they still had a decent amount of it.

"What is honey? You look angry."

Said Itori as she stood up and hugged Lucien closely. Her breasts weren't covered and she looked like some kind of succubus.

"Aogiri Tree found the underground lab of which belong to the Kano Akihiro and my father ordered me to kill him at any costs. Also, I must secure his research on the ghoulification if possible. Aogiri Tree is planning to raid that lab in a few days so I and Zelilios would be going with them."

Itori knew about Kano and his attempts to create artificial ghouls, he even succeeded with experiment named Kaneki Ken who was turned into One-Eyed Artificial Ghoul, some time ago. It was vastly known in the underworld that Kano was human that researched ghouls to the extreme, and was creating artificial ghouls. Also, that he was funded by some mysterious organization was something like a public secret.

"When will the raid occur?"

Asked Itori with a concerned voice as she knew that Kano was a very cunning person and probably that entire underground lab would be a huge trap for his pursuers just to do some damages to them. Either it was orchestrated by the Vasuki and the Washuu Clan or Kano acted on his own.

"The sooner, the better. We don't have enough time to sit and wait for the miracle. We must act quickly and swiftly. I would go meet with Eto to decide exact strategy on the raid and people that would participate in this operation."

Said Lucien as he prepared to go to the 24th Ward and discuss the upcoming operation with Eto. As he was already leaving, Itori came to him and kissed Lucien on his lips, in a very passionate kiss that lasted for minutes. When they finally separated from each other, both of them had lust written all over the face and thus Lucien concluded the fact that meeting could wait one more hour.

=============================================

24th Ward

"So, now is the question of the day. Who would be participating in the 'Raid on the Kano's Lab Operation'?"

Asked Lucien with a happy voice as he scanned through the room he was in. There were also several high-ranking executives of the Aogiri Tree, namely Noro and Tatara. Eto was already sitting behind a huge wooden table and reading some book.

"From the Aogiri Tree, two people would participate, as you and your Knight would also. Ayato and Kaneki, both of them are around SS-rate so it would be good."

Said Eto and Lucien only nodded his head. Going only with four people is rather good, they would need to keep it low and not draw attention.

Afterward, they discussed plan for the raid and other things such as potential confrontation with the Vasuki or the Commission of Counter Ghoul, which would probably come true as they would also come to investigate the lab. Vasuki would be there to clear the mess after Kano for sure.

From the Commission of Counter Ghoul, there would be probably one Special-Class Ghoul Investigator participating in this operation as the leader of the squad. Lucien didn't know who it would be, but CCG didn't have a lot Special-Class Ghoul Investigators, and now that one of them was killed during the last operation.

Vasuki would try to cover up for the whole thing from shadows, which was something understandable as they were supporting Kano from the dark. Lucien didn't even dare to think who would they send, but he had a faint feeling it would be someone strong. Even though they suffered heavy losses, Kano's research was apparently very important for the Washuu Clan so they would try to recover it for all costs.

And lastly, there was Lucien with his Holy Imperial Knight Zelilios together with his chess pieces from the Aogiri Tree. His only goal was to kill Kano and maybe if they had time to recover the research of his. If he couldn't recover it his father said it would be also good to destroy it.
