Nick watched the three remaining people slowly walking towards his house.

Right now, Nick was in his fog state inside one of the heaps of rusted metal in his backyard.

'Eleven people in total, huh?' he thought as he watched them with narrowed eyes.

For a while, Nick just looked at the three of them.

They were constantly on the lookout and didn't dare to split apart.

Nick could attempt killing one with a spear throw, but he decided against it.

'That one sniper shot and the three shots I took from the gunner already exhausted over 80% of my Zephyx,' he thought.

'Entering battle in my state is stupid.'

'I have to remember that I am still at a numbers disadvantage and that the strongest of them is still alive.'

'From what I could tell, all of the assassins have been Peak Johns, and the leader is most likely a Veteran.'

'If he were alone, I might attempt it, but not with the two guys beside him.'

Nick watched as the three of them carefully entered his house.

Then, Nick slowly slithered from one heap of metal to the next.

'I think it should be here,' Nick thought as he looked through the heap of rusted metal.

Then, Nick finally found it!

At the bottom of the heap was a black box of steel with several buttons on it.

'The Specter Cage!' Nick thought.

After that, Nick came out of the northern side of the heap and went to another heap.

He threw a glance at the building.

Nobody there.

The next moment, Nick materialized and immediately threw a spear at the heap of metal hiding the Specter Cage.

BOOOM!

The spear shot through the metal and sank into the sewers.

Since Nick wanted to keep his location secret, he had cut the Ghost Wire of the spear.

Only when he was 100% certain did he actually slowly restore his real appearance.

Eventually, he slowly walked toward the Inner City.

His bored eyes looked at the entrance and the people beside it.

"Sir, please wait a moment," one of the guards told the leader.

"What?" the leader asked with boredom.

"Sorry to disturb you, but something happened in the Outer City, and we are supposed to investigate every level two and level three Extractor coming from the Outer City," the guard said respectfully.

"What is this about?" the leader asked in boredom.

"The Chief Zephyx Extractor of Dark Dream was attacked by several level two Extractors and a level three Extractor. Do you know anything about this?" the guard asked.

"I heard the commotion, but I thought it was just a battle between some gangs," the leader said in boredom.

"Where have you been for the last two hours?" the guard asked.

"I was meeting the head of my Investigation department," the leader said with annoyance.

"Are there any witnesses?" the guard asked.

"Almost my entire Investigation department saw me," the leader said calmly.

"Alright, thank you for cooperating," the guard said. "One last thing."

Then, the guard pointed at somebody sitting on the ground with their head lowered.

"Do you know this person?" the guard asked.

The leader furrowed his brows, walked forward, and lifted the body's head by the hair.

It was a corpse.

It was the corpse of one of the two people that had fled with the leader.

It seemed like Nick had followed them, killed them, and brought them to the guard.

"Mergur Mender," the leader said. "He quit our company around four months ago. I've seen him on the streets here and there, but I haven't talked to him since then."

"Sir, we would like to talk more about this at the station. I know that it wasn't you, but we have to follow all the leads. You knowing one of the culprits sadly makes you a suspect," the guard said carefully.

The leader just nodded. "I get it. Lead the way."

The leader wasn't really worried.

Everything for today had been meticulously planned.

There were tons of witnesses who could give him an alibi.

Also, no one would expect that he would personally go out to kill some level two Extractor.

After all, he was Kallum Sondur, the Chief Zephyx Extractor of the Spartans.
