Chapter 282: Chapter 279: Thanks to the Contributions Made by the Creature Called Spy Chapter 282: Chapter 279: Thanks to the Contributions Made by the Creature Called Spy Sanctuary, villa district, eastern zone.
From afar, one could see the towering blue-and-white dod castle, yet very few survivors ever managed to approach the majestic structure.
This was forbidden territory, accessible only to the higher-ups of Green Shadow or to invited survivors who were privileged enough to enter.
Many new Awakeners would gaze at the castle from a distance, full of admiration, but when they asked the old-tirs who had spent ti in Green Shadow, no one could provide any information.
It made everyone’s curiosity itch like a cat’s paw, growing ever more intense.
However… they dared not step into the restricted area. Although most harbored a death-wish, more often than not, reason managed to suppress the urge for self-destruction.
For re curiosity’s sake, it wasn’t worth it.
Inside the villa district, a few Awakeners conversed, seemingly discussing a mission they had taken from the adventurers’ guild, yet their gazes would surreptitiously drift towards the distant castle, quickly retracting.
White high walls, deep blue rounded rooftops, and in front of the castle, one could vaguely make out a very large garden with a myriad of colorful flowers competing in splendor.
The group didn’t linger, moving on like any normal group of adventurers passing by, soon returning to their rented accommodation.
They rented the most popular suite among adventurers, with a total of five rooms, perfectly accommodating the needs of a small adventure group.
Click.
After entering, the last person closed the door tightly and locked it.
An Awakener with a Black Snake tattoo on his arm gave the other four a look, and they dispersed to conduct a thorough search of each room.
“Boss, it’s clear.”
“Yeah, no bugs, no hidden caras.”
“We truly are professionals.”
Black Snake coughed once and waved everyone over with a gathered gesture of his fingers.
The five huddled together in a circle.
Black Snake pondered briefly before speaking in a low voice, “We’ve scouted the whole Sanctuary, excluding the castle’s forbidden area. It seems like Green Shadow’s secrets are likely hidden within the castle.”
A man with an open shirt revealing a tattoo that resembled a Unicorn spoke up, “Black Snake Boss is right, but the forbidden area is under strict guard. How do we get in?”
“But strict guard? I didn’t see any guards around,” one of the underlings expressed in confusion.
Unicorn imdiately slapped him on the head, “Idiot, we’re so far away, how could we possibly see the guards? From where we were observing, we couldn’t even see the castle’s gate unless there were guards standing on the rooftops.”
“Unicorn is right,” Black Snake mused for a mont, “This is enemy territory. Even though we are among the top experts of Lingshan City, we can’t possibly stand against the entire power of Green Shadow’s Sanctuary. We must sneak in covertly. But the castle is large, and we don’t know the internal layout. If we just barge in, it’s very likely we’ll get caught.”
He frowned, “Previously, the City Lord sent people here to buy off a few informants. We thought these spies could bring back so valuable information, but unfortunately, we’ve lost contact with that guy. He must have been exposed, either captured or executed by Green Shadow; otherwise, we would have had more intelligence.”
“But from our recent investigations, Green Shadow Sanctuary hasn’t shown much activity, which may be partly due to their fear of us, Lingshan City… After all, the City Lord is also a super expert who has broken through that level. On the other hand, perhaps Green Shadow is currently facing pressure from Lindong,”
Black Snake sneered.
Tatted with a unicorn, the burly man chid in, “Boss makes sense, but if Green Shadow can’t withstand the pressure and offers its secrets to the Lindong officials, then we will have nothing to do with it. Moreover, if we continue to drag our feet, the City Lord will also beco dissatisfied with us.”
Black Snake glanced at him, “Of course I’m aware of this; I plan to make a move in two or three nights.”
“Why at that ti?” A subordinate didn’t understand.
“In two days, the Green Shadow business district will open. At that ti, many foreign Awakeners will flood into the business district, and Green Shadow will definitely strengthen the security there. But the number of Awakeners can’t increase out of thin air; the most likely scenario is that the guards from the castle will be reassigned to the business district, leaving the castle’s defenses empty.”
“Not only that, according to the rumors we’ve investigated, after the opening of the business district, Green Shadow is planning to host a Martial Path Tournant…”
Black Snake looked at the others and seeing that no one picked up after him, his eyes revealed a hint of disappointnt. He sighed and then continued, “The Martial Path Tournant is just a ruse by Green Shadow. The rumors also ntion that the Green Shadow Patrol Team is planning its third recruitnt. Only Awakeners who achieve a certain rank in the Martial Path Tournant will be eligible to join.”
“This information confirms that Green Shadow is facing imnse pressure and needs to recruit more Awakeners to stand firm against Lindong.”
Black Snake picked up a teacup and sipped from it, his eyes shimring with a confidence nad ‘self-assured’.
It was then that the other mbers had their sudden realization, with admiring words flowing like a barrage, which Black Snake quite enjoyed.
…
…
Labeled as a forbidden area, the castle, if any survivors were fortunate to be invited in, would find it nearly void of human figures.
The castle seed desolate, with at most so Puppet servants for simple tasks like serving tea and water, their wheel chanisms at the base whisking them back and forth across the red carpet.
Within the territory, there were quite a few red dots, and Tang Yu was well aware of it, but he had not dealt with these people.
As the population of the Sanctuary grew, especially with the construction of the business district, the survivors consisted of a mixed lot, including spies sent from various factions.
These spies, although they intended to steal secrets and harm the Sanctuary, many of them either had not acted yet or could not find the opportunity to do so. As Lord Tang, who planned to develop the Territory into a comrcial Holy Land, found it difficult to simply wipe them out. Sotis observing them led to unearthing even greater secrets.
Moreover, these spies, in their efforts to gather information, often spent lavishly without hesitation… Tang Yu guessed that the spies could claim expenses from their backing factions, which was just fantastic, contributing enormously to the business volus of various shops within the Territory.
Sotis, certain overly eager spies would even provide a stark lesson to other external Awakeners in the Territory at the right mont.
Their contributions were genuinely grand.
At this mont, inside the room.
Through the Crystal Ball, Tang Yu was observing the fight that had just occurred at the Martial Arts Arena.
He was unlike ordinary people; his focus wasn’t on the two combatant Awakeners. Such low-level fights no longer interested Expert Tang. His attention was on the number and enthusiasm of the spectators watching the battle.
“Just an ordinary fight has attracted so many onlookers; the upcoming Martial Path Tournant will surely bring even greater footfall to the Territory…”
