The fact that he said that in the whole city can be felt is a bit ridiculous. Sam'an City is so big that several cities could fit inside it.
It is a huge city in territory, and Klaus knows that. But he was completely sure of it because he had researched it before.
Seeing the certainty on his face, Sua was forced to nod. "Then let's see what you say." She stood up and looked at the leaders. "If it is true, then this mission will be the initial preparation. It's ti for you to start moving."
The various leaders understood and began preparations on their behalf. They seed to be moving to do sothing amazing, but Klaus couldn't figure anything out just by looking at them.
Soon after, he, Carion, and the two healers from before accompanied Sua to the location she had determined to investigate.
It was close to the building they were in, but as Klaus exited the building, he could see that the sorcerers that had once road the area were no longer there. The area was lonely, and no people were walking nearby.
'There seems to be interference as well. But I can't figure out what kind of interference there is and what is creating it.'
He didn't give it much thought, and when he got there, he simply uncovered the manhole to show them.
This place is close to the central area, so there was a lot of concentrated cursed energy down there. Klaus was the first to feel it, followed by those healers who quickly got in front of Sua, Carion, and, to finish, Sua.
She frowned.
'Such a large concentration of cursed energy is no small thing. So it's true, the specialized devices have failed.'
Naturally, they could not sense cursed beasts, although Klaus and the healers could sense so movent down there.
If there was one thing these healers excelled at, it was their high sense capacity. They could sense things from an amazing distance, and this ti, it was evident.
"Ma'am, there is movent down there."
Sua nodded. "How many?"
"I don't know. There are several, but not many. Still, I can feel that so of them have strong footsteps and are surely powerful."
Klaus nodded. "There are more than 10. Saying the exact amount is still difficult, but less than 50. And having so much cursed energy to beco strong and to learn, plus cursed beasts that could be intelligent, I think they can beco very strong in a short ti. So, how about, do you think I'm lying?"
Sua frowned. She pulled a device and tried to throw it in, but Klaus stopped her.
"That would be tipping them off that we're aware."
She looked at him, thought about it for a few minutes, nodded, and put the device away.
"Let's head back. We'll take control of the city sewers and launch a thorough investigation. Also, we'll send sorcerers in there." She looked at the two healers then.
"Go back and tell the healer assassins that a special mission was issued today. They are to pay attention to all access points to the sewers, and any unauthorized person approaching or attempting to enter will be stopped by Nithim Twice orders."

"Yes, ma'am." Replied the two healers, who disappeared shortly after.
'So they were real assassins. And the most dangerous, healer assassins.'
Klaus could understand what kind of danger that ant. Because it was like a doctor being a murderer. dical doctors are highly sought after; how much more would a healer be? Who can cure things that a dical doctor can't? So no one would suspect them.
And they could approach their victims with relative ease, and when they least expected it, the nature of killers would co out, but no one would be able to stop it then.
They were the best kind of killers that could exist.
Sua began to walk back to the building.
"Do you want to take the mission this ti? You should know that I think quite highly of you; I'm not convinced you're in danger like that. If you want, I can pay you quite a bit just for the information, and I will send you to complete another mission of equal importance that we have." She looked at him casually. Sohow, Klaus could sense sothing strange in her gaze.
Unfortunately, he wasn't soone who could read looks or feelings, so he couldn't understand exactly what that look ant.
Still, the fact that she said that made him shrug.
"Nothing to worry about; if I die, I'll die doing what I want to do. That's always been my life motto. Besides, I gave you that information because I want to take this mission alone; I won't accept help from people much more powerful than unless I bring them along."
"Carion will go with you?"
"Obviously, he's my teammate."
"Sigh, if you both die, it will be a big loss of personnel for the organization."
"Haha, don't worry. The organization won't die without the two of us there, though I think it might if you're not there." He looked at her as he said this, but Sua didn't react.
"Well, who knows? It's stronger than you think."
"Even if an organization is strong and looks well-established, without a comnsurate leader, I fear it cannot sustain itself."
"Tsk." Sua grumbled and decided to walk faster as she realized Klaus was starting to annoy her again.
"Klaus and Carion, you have had a very long afternoon, and night is about to fall. My little ones will not be ready at this ti. Tomorrow at 1 p.m., the mission will begin. You two will go in first, but I must tell you a few things."
"First, the first phase is based on research. Everything in there must be reported. Second, if powerful cursed beasts are discovered, more than enough of them, we will send in powerful groups to take over. Although I will keep my word, I don't like to lose Nithim just because, so you'd better keep that in mind. Third and not least." She turned to look at them.
"We are in an important phase of our plans. I will not allow the curiosity of one or the stupidity of another to cause trouble at this ti. Nithim Twice could undergo a major change before long; enjoy the mission."
She walked away after saying that.
Klaus frowned and paused.
'A threat disguised as goodwill. Looks like the real missions will be starting shortly. It's ti for to start moving on Ronan's side. I have to kill Johew before the weekend.' Klaus looked at the watch in his hand and realized that it was almost 7 o'clock at night, so he said goodbye to Carion and went to et Jasmine.
Before those beasts showed up, she sent him a ssage to et. It was the first ssage he had received from her after those bold words, and the eting point was a bit curious.
It is a plaza that is normally secluded but has good night sky views.
Even better, it is close to the place where he recently bought the properties.
Klaus walked through the slightly darkened square. There wasn't much artificial lighting around here since it was a square specifically made for stargazing. This is also why it is not much visited, except at special tis, because in the dark, the cursed beasts can hide more easily and ambush their prey.
As he walked on one of the sides of the square, he noticed a solitary silhouette.
It stood there, bathed in the darkness of night and the light of the stars. At the sa ti, the breeze hit her body, making her beautiful long black hair and deep red dress flutter.
It was a peculiar dress for the occasion. If Klaus had to describe it in one word, it would be: Charming. If he could use one more, it would be: Sexy.
It was charming and sexy, which showed off the beautiful lady's figure there.
Although he didn't see her face, Klaus knew she was Jasmine. That unreal beauty could not be hidden, even if her back was turned.
As he approached, she smiled.
"I'm sorry for summoning you to a place like this at this hour, Klaus." She said and then turned around to see him.
The mont she did, Klaus felt a strange ache in his heart. His mind beca clouded with a face unfamiliar to him, and the pain in his heart intensified, causing him to recoil slightly in bewildernt and clutch his chest tightly.
"Agh..." Although he tried to look at Jasmine hard, his head seed to be being pushed down by a huge rock that weighed tons.
Klaus' sudden change made Jasmine startle.
"Klaus!" She ran towards him, but he fell backward, sitting on the floor.
His pulse suddenly intensified, and his heart began to beat at high speed. That activated his ability sooner than expected, for his heart, which is the Great Attractor itself, was pumping hard and fast.
'Who's the fucking bastard who wants to stop from seeing her? Shit, get the fuck out of there, you fucker! Let see your fucking face if you have the guts!' His mind scread enormously.
It was only for a mont, but Jasmine's beautiful, perfect face transford into an unfamiliar face. One that didn't hold her forr aura didn't hold her beauty. It was not her.
Clearly, sothing was attacking him directly so that he could not see her real face.
And he realized that when he saw that his heart seed to be under attack by sothing.
'Well... Let see what you can do to a real Gravitational Anomaly. Do you want to play little gas with the Cosmos? Hehe, I WANT TO SEE YOU KEEP TRYING; I'M GOING TO SWALLOW YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!' He growled fiercely inside and sat on the floor, closing his eyes.
If soone wanted to play fuck him, he wanted to play too. He wanted to see what kind of bastard he was.
