Chapter 415 Mirage Crystal
"Vice supreme leader, since you have already been given the authority by the supreme leader to take action, then, I don't think that we need to continue hiding anymore…" A man stood up and looked at Antonio as he said those words.
Antonio remained silent, but he was not against what the man had said. In fact, that was what he was just thinking about. In fact, had it not been for the fact that he was required to be in the stronghold, then, he would have definitely made a move by himself.
"Can you please explain yourself?" Antonio asked calmly. Even though he was not showing it much on his face, the anger that was boiling beneath that calm fa?ade that he was putting on could scare someone to death.
"What I'm trying to imply is this, since the supreme leader has already given us the authority to do as we want, as long as we give the results, then I don't think that we need to continue hiding in the shadows anymore." The man began explaining.
"Since it is already assured that as long as we get what we want, then, whatever was found 5 years ago is going to be very useful, and it is going to enable us to conquer the entire stronghold. With it, even if other organizations in the stronghold come to know that we possess something like that, then, it will already be too late because we will be able to utilize it."
"As for the other strongholds that are usually governing us, it's going to take some time before they come over. And, since we are deciding to do this with full force, then, I do believe that we are going to complete the task as soon as possible.
And by the time that those from the bigger strongholds come over, we will have already hidden the evidence of our involvement in anything illegal.
I'm not trying to say that our actions are illegal, but, I do have to take precautions that we might do something that is completely against the code that we have been given.
So, by the time that they arrive here, if we have committed anything that is considered wrong by those from the biggest strongholds, then, we will have already gotten the chance to hide it."
Antonio was also thinking the same thing. As for the other three, they did not have any objections about what this man had said. After all, they all had a single thought, and that was, to get what they wanted as soon as possible.
Not only was this a task that had been given to them now by the supreme leader, but, there was also the fact that, after they got it, then, Antonio was going to maintain his position, stabilizing it without having any fear of being threatened.
At that time, with Antonio finally grasping all the authority in the organization, only lower than the supreme leader, then, they themselves would actually benefit from it. After all, there was no way that they were going to be together with a person if they were not going to gain any benefits from it.
"I get the point. But I do believe that all of you know that I cannot leave this place. And since that's the case, then, I will have to trust that the four of you are going to take care of the matter without need of my supervision.
The last time, there was a problem by the fact that, someone from the butterfly organization was involved. For that reason, Eric lost his life. But, this time, we are not going to send a single person, but instead, all of you are going out.
With the four of you together, I do believe that you will not fail the mission. Additionally, even if the other organizations come to realize that four of our guardians have gone out, by the time that they react, you will have already completed the mission.
I don't want to believe that the four of you can actually have a lot of difficulty taking care of a single person. Additionally, it is only a person with some wealth in the normal countries, and not possessing any authority in the strongholds." Antonio instructed.
Everyone present at the table nodded their heads. That was what everybody was thinking. They believed that by going out full force, they will be able to catch everyone by surprise, and complete what they wanted to do without any hitches.
"As for the people from the other factions in our organization, don't worry about them. You guys will be leaving here stealthily, ensuring that none of them notices you.
By the time that they notice that you have gone out, and try coming after you so that they can know what we are planning, you will have already gone. Moreover, they are not sure about where you guys will be heading to. So, they will be searching blindly, and that will be giving us enough time to complete the mission." Antonio explained once again.
He already knew that with the presence of the other factions in the organization, and due to the fact that he had already alarmed them with the death of Eric, then, they were all keeping an eye on him and the people around him.
But, it was not like they were keeping an eye on them 24 hours a day. So, by the time they realize that the four people had already left the stronghold, it would be too late.
Additionally, Antonio was not willing to send them out there without anything that they would depend on in case things went wrong.
He took out a crystal that was dark in color. Even though there was hesitation on his face, the determination that was in his eyes overwhelmed the hesitation.
Gasp!
Everyone present was surprised when they saw the black crystal. They knew what it was, it was the mirage crystal. They did not know the concept behind that crystal, but they knew that, once it was activated, it was capable of creating illusions.
They knew that this was the award that Antonio had been given by the supreme leader after he had ascended the position of the vice supreme leader. He had always been keeping this because it was considered as a life-saving token, that could be used during battles.
But now, Antonio taking it out implied that, he was willing to give it to them so that they could use it during the mission. This was something that all of them were actually drooling for.
Had it not been for the fact that there was a great difference in terms of strength between them, and the good relationship that they shared, then, some of them would definitely not mind having some plans on how to acquire it.
"I do believe that all of you know what this mirage crystal can do. Additionally, you also know about the value of this crystal. This is something that I have been keeping for several years now ever since I have taken over the position of the vice supreme leader of the organization.
As all of you have already known about the details of this crystal, you know that it is something that can save a person's life, even at my level, to actually be able to avoid death even when facing a superhuman.
But of course, even though it is something that can save a life, it has its own limitations. It can only be used three times, and until now, I have not used it at all.
But for this mission, I hope that once you go out, you will try as much as possible to ensure that you don't risk anything, so that you can continue maintain this mirage crystal.
Every single use of this mirage crystal is precious. And as I have just said, although I am giving it to you, that does not imply that you will have to continuously use it. This is just another solution, or plan B after everything else that you have tried has failed."
After saying those words, Antonio looked at the crystal once again, before placing it on top of the table. He knew that, the moment that this crystal was taken out of the stronghold, then, he wasn't sure if it was going to be brought back or not.
Of course, even though it was true that he trusted these four people, he was still worried. After all, humans could always change their minds at any moment. So, he was not sure if any one of them was going to change their mind during the time that they were out, and decide to betray him.
But still, he did not have any other choice. It was a matter of gambling now. If the plans succeeded, then, he was sure that the supreme leader might actually reward him with an even more precious gift.
After all, what he would have done would have definitely earned the Panthers organization something bigger than this. And, once they manage to control the entire stronghold, then, it would not be a problem for them to get as many resources as they want.
After a moment of silence, Antonio looked at the group of four and rolled the crystal towards them on top of the table. He then said, "With this mirage crystal, I do believe that you will not fail this mission. Because if you do, then, you will have to look for a way that you are going to compensate me."
"Yes vice supreme leader. We will make sure that we succeed in this mission." Everyone present in the room got on their feet, and said with resolution in their voices.
