Chapter 258 258:Gathering Evidence
It didn't take long to put the plan forward into action.
The moment the orders were given by their temporary leader Lucas, the members had to make use of every resource to get work done as fast as possible.
As a result of which, though things looked quite calm on the surface, the entire underground organization of Cyprus was boiling.
The Emperor's forces were already putting pressure on the mass influx of mercenaries and underground organizations, tightening their grip.
And then a new force emerged striking the loose ends making things become more chaotic.
The fish that were able to escape the net were caught by Vice President Lee's forces who acted quite openly in partnership with the PSB.
The movement of so many forces alerted many people who found that someone was trying to muddy the water. Many guessed that there was a big force that seemed to be controlling things from behind and they tried to find that external force but no one was able to connect the links.
While a separate force of Valhalla collaborated with Duke Holmes's forces to track every single Professor that had been on the targeted list, the news agency already started getting notice of an earth-shattering breaking news.
Even the commoners had been bribed to track and relay information in exchange for some money which they happily agreed with.n).0velb1n
Meanwhile, Kelly who was in a very good mood due to gaining Issac's favours decided to indulge a bit.
He got a huge reward for performing his duty and decided to celebrate in a bar.
Singing happily, he stepped into the bar he visited frequently only to find everything empty.
There were no people, no girls, no bartender.
"What?!"
He screamed in bewilderment and turned around to run only to find the door closed.
A chill crawled from behind and his senses were warning him that he was in some deep shit.
"Who is messing with me?!" He roared violently circulating his mana but much to his horror he was not able to control his mana.
An inexplicable sense of horror crawled into his heart.
As he looked around in panic, he saw the scenery distorting before his eyes.
A table appeared out of thin air with two chairs. A man wearing a mask in a dark robe sat on the other side with a smile.
"Please take a seat, Mr.Kelly."
"Who are you?" Kelly asked in bewilderment.
"That's the wrong question, sir. At the moment, you should ask where you are or what's going to happen to you."
Kelly felt a shiver down his spine on hearing this.
Swallowing his saliva, he asked nervously,"Are you here to kill me?"
Pfft!
At the corner, a masked man along with a few dark-robed men stood watching around.
Tonight, a group of Professors from Horizon had booked the entire place to enjoy and indulge themselves but just as they began their enjoyment due to a certain mystical power, they fell asleep.
Then they were dragged into a dream world by a masked man who interrogated them making use of their weaknesses.
Some gave away in fear while some gave way due to great prospects.
And none of this would be remembered by them after they wake up from the slumber.
That's why Dreamweavers were feared by many because once they act unless you have a strong soul, you're gonna be stripped naked of every information.
"I have extracted everything." The masked man spoke.
"Thanks Sir for the help." A man spoke with gratitude.
"Nah, I was just following Madam's orders. I was asked to assist. Now, pass this information quickly so everyone can act as quickly as possible."
Scenes similar to this were happening in many places and for those on whom this method wasn't carried out, they were kidnapped directly and tortured brutally while others were threatened with the life of their close ones.
....
In a closed room, Lucas oversaw things asking for detailed reports each hour so that he could adjust if required.
Lucas with a badge that could communicate separately with any members made sure to keep a grasp of the overall situation. He even planned to move Duke Holmes into this organization if he was able to overcome the difficulty and survive but the final say in this lay with Julian.
Lucas pulled out the map that was filled with cross marks.
"Now only four places are left. With Grandma Irina making a move along with Vice-President Lee, it had been discovered that they had been hiding in these four spots."
"Since they have split up and are hiding in these four spots, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact place so all we can do is raid these four places at once and take them by surprise but..."
"That's not my work for now. It all depends on Duke Holmes. With all this detailed information, he just needs to get support from the Emperor and others."
"I have done what I need to do. And I already have proven to collude with White. Thank God, Grandma Irina moved personally without having to expand her power and extract their memories." Lucas sighed and then made a call and sent the information to Duke Holmes immediately.
After that, Lucas went through the confession and criminal records of the Professors and cursed loudly.
"Should this kind of thing be done by someone responsible for guiding others? These are rotten pieces of shits polluting the entire Academy."
The more Lucas went through the crimes, the more his expression became solemn. One of the significant aspects of this problem stems from the so-called freedom.
The Professors were free enough to live on the campus as they wished. Though they behave properly here, on the outside each of them is no worse than a criminal.
On the list, there were serial killers, murderers, thieves, rapists, illegal drugs and weed dealers etc.
"Since I am doing this, I should do this thoroughly. Previously, I ordered them to look for the ones under the Issac faction but now it seems I have to check everyone's background."
"Who knew how many blacks appear painting themselves as white? Except for the few core members whom it would be risky to take care of and named characters, let's just sweep everything and cleanse this Academy for real this time.
Though Lucas felt bitter doing the work that should have been done by Josh, he was going to make sure he squeezed from him thoroughly in exchange for this service.
"Since, you made me work this much. I am gonna make sure that you bleed properly."
