Chapter 737 Part 2: Bamboo City: Dark League's actions
From MC's perspective:
Bamboo City,
Now that they have an opportunity. They won't miss it.
On the other hand, I crossed a few more streets. The 52nd cross street is a few distances away and I don't want these people to know. I have to cut this tail off.
So I changed my direction and entered the street busy with the crowds. The people who are following me will find it difficult to spot me.
Then I walked into the random shop and found the washroom to enter. As usual, when I entered the place.
I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion. I don't know how long this old tactic of mine is going to save me.
Barber Shop:
Same day- A few hours ago,
There is a secret room behind the walls of the Barber Shop. An old man in his sixties is sitting behind the desk. The old man is the local branch leader of the dark league.
He is an old, weak, and potentially exhausted level-6 wizard. In his retirement age, he is taking care of Bamboo City's branch office.
Usually, he used to deal with weak cases and rather easy missions. But this morning, he received one of the high-profile missions.
The old man who has several scars on his face was terrified. An extremely dangerous mission won't come to him. When he read the mission description in the morning.
He cursed out for his bad luck. A dangerous red star is staying in the Red City. He is no stranger to the dark league's intentions. A part of the dark league's intention was to eliminate potential seeds of the wizard academy in this country.
This time the target was one such wizard. But the dark league's members have been struggling to accomplish the mission for some time.
When he learned of the recent incidents. He thought someone from the dark league had taken up the task.
But the mission details show otherwise. It shows no one from the dark league has selected this task.
Which shows someone else is after this Gravity kid. Even a high-ranking wizard has failed to kill this kid.
What is he going to do? But it can't be helped. The organization has offered rich rewards for this task. And the local members are pumped up.
Most of the members have left to accomplish this task. But the gravity kid was staying in his hotel all this time. He wasn't surprised by the reaction.
After such a big incident, it's normal for people to be careful. He hoped that the red star would leave the city as soon as possible.
If Vincent Carey continues to stay here, then his organization might instruct him to deal with him.
The old man wants to enjoy his work peacefully. He doesn't want to stand out. He has been working in the dark league for several decades.
He knows how things were handled there. If he fails to complete the task, he will face punishment.
Even if he accomplishes the task, there is more possibility of him dying. Either the Yellow River Academy would target him or the organization's members might want to erase the roots.
Both things are not good for him. That's why he doesn't like such missions. His worry deepens more as the time passes.
Evening,
The old man's screen lit up with notification. Seeing that he knows there is instruction from the main branch.
So he opens up the page to look at it. The next second, his pupils shrink. He became deflated like a balloon.
[DARK LEAGUE HQ: Mr. Hudson is ordered to complete the task before the target leaves the city.
Note: Disobey or Failure of the task will lead to poisonous torture and death.]
The old man has no life in his eyes. He looked at the screen to read it again and again. Especially the note mentioned below the message.
"Disobey or failure," He muttered to himself. In other words, he is being forced to complete the task.
As a local branch leader, the worst thing happened to him. It's normal for the main branch to dispatch their local branch leaders to kill the targets in their city.
But here he got no room for refusal.
"My peaceful days come to an end"
"Damn it," He cursed out loud.
After a few seconds, he calmed down and his heart was unstable.
"Sigh"
"There is no turning back. I have to move my old bones," He convinced himself by talking.
More than eager to complete the task. He doesn't want to undergo the torture punishment in his old age.
The next second, a long-lost blood lust started to appear in his body. His perfectly combed hair becomes disheveled. Neat clothes become messy and untidy.
His appearance has changed from a weak old man to a savage beast.
"The evil mental method and the magic spell are sucking my life," The old man said in his heart. This was one of the reasons why his wizard potential was exhausted.
Now he looks completely different. The old man then asks his men about the updates. When he learned the target was still staying in the hotel.
A gloomy look flashes in his eyes. Earlier, he didn't care about the target's actions or intentions. But now the organization wants him to complete the mission.
The current situation is against him. He can't forcibly storm into the hotel. The only way ahead is to sneak inside.
The old man thought of sneaking at night. He doesn't think the target will leave at this time.
Night time,
When it was nighttime. He is preparing himself for the missions. He has taken a few artifacts for safety. When it comes to killing the target. It is going to be easier to kill a level-5 wizard.
After getting ready, he decided to leave. But before that, he receives information from his men.
"Target is leaving the hotel at this time," He muttered to himself.
Then he thought of something. Perhaps the target is going to the train station.
"No!"
"I have to kill him before he leaves," The old man said hysterically.
Then he instructed his men to keep following the target.
