Chapter 455: Miscommunication.
“How can a kid be with so many coins? Well, it’s not as if I care, more beer for !” The gang mber said with a brimming smile on his face as he went on to complete the task given to him.
[It still surprises how your planned interactions always work to the last detail.] The system said because this wasn’t the first or 10th-ti scenarios like this were going as planned.
‘Humans claim to be special and higher animals, but the truth is that only a few are special while the rest are just higher animals.’
‘So since all of them are no different from each other, all you need is to learn a few behavioral patterns and you will be able to predict and manipulate them.’ Blake explained as he went into an alley and opened up a detailed map of the city.
‘Where is the man that took my silver coins?’ Blake asked as he activated the locator skill.
Over the years, Blake learned that certain factors affected the locator spell both positively and negatively.
The power level of the person being tracked affected its success rate as well as the use of anti-tracking artifacts and magical devices.
.....
As for its increase in success rate, if the item being tracked belonged to Blake the success rate would skyrocket.
That was why Blake had staged the encounter just to give him the silver coins because this was the only lead they had and he didn’t want to take chances.
Once the locator spell was activated, a moving light dot appeared on the map representing the gang mber. Blake watched as he moved to an area 2 streets away from where the gang war occurred.
‘I think we’ve got the gang hideout.’ Blake thought as the light dot entered a horse rental building, but that was when sothing unexpected happened.
The light dot in the horse building had sohow made its way into the carriage rental building beside it.
“Well, that makes sense.” Blake said as it didn’t take him a second to realize that there was an underground channel that connected both buildings.
After a few more minutes, the light dot exited the building and was returning to the pub. Imdiately Blake closed his map and activated the com.
“I have gotten all the information I need. Cautiously exit the premises and et up at the square.” Blake instructed his team.
...
When he and his team returned to the square, Blake went straight to Darius office to update him on their progress.
“That was quicker than I thought it would be.” Darius said as he gestured for Blake to give his report.
Blake wasted no ti to report everything including his thod of investigation and the location of the gang hideout.
“That’s great. So when are you planning on wiping out the gang?” Commander Darius asked.
“We will be striking tonight to make sure that we get most of them.” Blake answered.
With the report over, Blake returned to his office and inford his unit before ditating as he waited for it to get dark.
...
4 hours later it was almost dark, and even though they wouldn’t be raiding till it was completely dark, they still needed to scout the location. So they wasted no ti getting to work.
In less than 30 minutes, the unit arrived at the slums and imdiately took over the roofs to reach the buildings.
‘Just the perfect ti.’ Blake thought as they saw that the activity in both the horse and carriage rentals had increased.
The reason Blake had chosen to attack at night was because it was the ti gangs regrouped to either rry, plan and execute a raid, or count the hauls they got after terrorizing mbers of the public.
“In the next half an hour, both businesses would be closing. So the task is to eliminate any living thing in the area.” Blake said through his commd in their ears.
“The horse rental is almost twice as big as the carriage rental, making it the best space to build a hideout.
“So I will be leaving you guys with the carriage rental, make sure no one escapes.” Blake said shocking everyone.
‘Isn’t it ant to be the other way around?’ The ash corps couldn’t help but ask.
‘Because he won a kids’ competition he thinks he can take on the whole world?.’ Radley thought.
During the afternoon when Blake inford them out of nowhere that he had discovered their hideout. At first, they were shocked by the news because they thought that it would be a failure, but they soon began wondering how he did it.
They read the report he gave which made them, even more intrigued, and caused them to search for more information about him.
That was when they read that he won the regional competition, but since there were no videos for them to watch they had no clue of his powers or the power level of his competitors.
This gave them room to make up excuses about school and real-life experiences not being the sa thing.
‘Well, it will be nice to see how he fails miserably.’ So of the ash corps thought.
30 minutes went by quickly and both businesses closed up, aning it was ti to act.
Ebony and Ivory appeared in his hands as well as his night veil. Without wasting any second, Blake jumped down from the building in his camouflaged state causing the others to follow suit.
Once they touched the floor, they split into 2 groups and made their way to the different entrances, but that was when a large fireball crashed into the door of the carriage rental building.
“What the fuck?!” They turned to see that it was Yavin who fired the spell but he was confused about why they were looking at him that way.
