Chapter 181: Scheming Left and Right
In an underground facility, Capital of the Unity
Leader, we received another intel from H. One of the men responsible for information reported to the man sitting on the throne. Man on the throne looked at it with his red eyes and held the paper before unfolding and reading it. He was the leader of the Starve Cleric. He was searching for Marooner for a long time to avenge his men and foiling his plans. But when Marooner sold a dual elemental orb in the auction, he decided to capture the man for himself instead.
There was only one line of text on the paper, Marooner, 123 Main Street, Capital.
Leader of the Starve Cleric, Degenhard looked at the text with his eyes shining. He ordered his man, Gather Warriors and Soldiers. Your mission is to capture Marooner whatever the cost.
Yes, sir.
This scene happened all around the Capital. Many criminal organizations received a piece of information from secret channels and found out Marooners whereabouts. They all gathered their men to capture the only man who knew about dual elemental orbs.
In the Army Headquarters, Capital
In General Strankovs room, there was a blond old woman with a blonde young teen. The teen was General's granddaughter, the Grader Irina Strankov. She leveled up to Form-Rank not long ago and would enter F-Circle pretty soon.
But her age was also close to 19. She would have to serve in the army pretty soon. General ordered her to come to headquarters often to let soldiers know her, so when she started to serve, soldiers would know who she was.
Grandma, when will you train me again? Irina asked respectfully. Her grandmother doted on her, but she still respected her.
I will have time in a few hours. Lets train then. General Strankov raised her head from a bunch of virtual documents and looked at her granddaughter. She was the most talented among her descendants. She initially wanted to send her to the Police, but later when her talent was discovered, she decided to train her to take her position. She was also diligent and would train whenever she was free. Her pride wouldnt let her slide after every loss.
In the address he put into the site, there were hundreds of men in disguise waiting for someone to appear. They were all unaware of the existence of each other, except five figures in full blacks hiding in an alley. They were already locked into criminal parties with their technological goggles and marked them one by one. An interface appeared to show their names, talents, and much other information even themselves wouldnt know.
Delivery in 2 minutes 33 seconds. One of the figures in black said silently, others nodded.
Time ticked slowly. A hundred men and five figures in black waited patiently. When the clock hit 0, a drone appeared in the street and floated to the post box. A stick drew out of the drone's body and opened the post box, before placing the small cargo inside. After that, it closed the post box once again before flying away. No one reacted.
After that, the wait continued.
1 minute.
5 minutes.
30 minutes.
An hour.
After waiting for an hour, the figures in black noticed something was amiss, but a voice gave them a new order. Look into that post box right away.
Five walked to the post box and opened it, but all of a sudden hell descended to Earth. Hundreds of men attacked simultaneously with binding attacks and nets to capture five men. Five figures in black gathered their superpowers and a sun shone among their amidst.
The sun clashed with the collective power of a hundred and canceled all of them. Criminal parties looked at five figures in surprise and fear, before falling back. They were also eyeing each other.
One of the five reported silently, There is a hole beneath the post box. Where it leads, unknown. Just after they finished, a small explosion reverberated under their feet.
