Sam gave the sketch of the person that treated this guy to the brothel and gave the description of the place they were in. He also went back to the brothel manager to ask who that person is.
She looked at the picture and Sam noticed a flinch, but she denied seeing him before.
"Manager, I don"t have time to interrogate you and make you spill the beans, the person that is asking you is not me, the young master of the Gaja Clan.
Not only is he a successor candidate, but his grandfather is also a grand elder and his father is a core elder. You know how that goes. If you don"t answer me immediately, he would use extreme measures and I doubt whatever you are trying to hide would be able to save you."
She gulped down and looked nervous. She looked around trying to avoid eye contact.
At this moment, energy gathered at Sa"s fingertips and a very small bullet was shot at her hand.
The arm was severed completely and fell down holding a spatial transference token.
Sam then aimed his fingers at her forehead and said.
"I already told you, I don"t have much patience."
*BOOM*
The head exploded and the specter immediately came to collect the soul, but Sam didn"t stop and aimed the hand at another woman in the line and shot an energy bullet.
The bullet landed on her shoulder and the arm fell off with the token. The rest of the women started panicking as they didn"t expect such a gruesome scene.
The lady who lost her arm tried to run away, but Sam aimed the energy bullet at her leg which she tried to block the attack with a shadow which made Sam a bit intrigued.
But the shadow was completely destroyed and the leg was still injured.
By now the guards and Grivon all came in and looked at the whole scene.
"Seems like we got the moles."
Sam killed the woman without a second thought and got the information from her too. After he looked through the information, Sam was even more confused.
The prost.i.tute who was about to escape was actually the one who killed the woman they came for. Apart from killing her, this woman doesn"t know anything.
The manager on the other hand also doesn"t know the full story, she got the instructions from the same guy that gave a treat to the informant.
There is also no confirmed location of the guy, except for the few plausible locations.
Sam took the spatial transference tokens of both of them and examined them. The coordinates locked onto it are of a s.p.a.ce gate somewhere and they are leading to the same place.
Sam talked with Grivon and gave him all the required details.
"Can we make more of these tokens and go to that place?"
"We can, as long as the formation and inscription masters get the exact structure of the token, it is quite easy. I can give that structure to you."
"I will call them here. Make that structure. We wouldn"t go back and just stay here. I think we need to seal the news completely. What do you say?"
"It is better that way. If that guy has any way of learning this information, it is better for us to seal it completely."
"I thought so too."
Sam went to work on the structure of the token while the formation masters and inscription masters with s.p.a.ce elemental expertise were called from the stray realm.
After Sam gave the detailed structure of the tokens, they started making extra tokens.
Meanwhile, Sam kept on brainstorming about what is happening around.
The person who gave the information directly to the league member is now dead, but the lead he has is only up to the brothel and here they caught another guy whose location is completely unknown and the only lead they have is the plausible location that he might be at.
The main thing they need to know is how these people even came across the information. But even more problematic is the fact that the other party managed to know the time they are arriving in this place beforehand and managed to kill the woman in the brothel.
And even that killing happened in such a way that there are two extra links attached to her death.
Someone is clearly trying to escape without any possible connection with this place and they are also one step ahead.
Sam looked around. There are some Blue cloaks, the secret subordinates of Grivon and the leader of the group who a.s.sumed command over these people, the subordinate that came with Grivon"s inheritance from his mother.
They are all standing guard in various posts around the brothel.
He walked to Grivon and asked.
"Blue Cloaks. How are they doing lately?"
"They are doing fine. The training is actually working well. They were tamed faster than I thought."
"The secret subordinates that are working lately?"
"I never had any problem with them. They only take orders."
"Your mother"s guard?"
"They are the best of them all. Why are you asking all these questions?"
"How many people knew that we are coming here today?"
"Are you suspecting that there is a mole in guards? They all have a soul contract binding with me. They wouldn"t dare break that and if they did, we would have already known about it."
"Where are the contracts?"
"What?"
"The contracts. I need to see the details."
"What? Do you think there are loopholes? I believe the contracts are perfect."
"Nothing is perfect in this world Grivon. There is always a flaw and there is always a loophole in everything that exists.
Get the contracts for me. I will be staying alone for a while. Don"t disturb me."
Grivon nodded solemnly and ransacked his whole storage for the contracts, he gave them to Sam secretly and he started looking through them.
He studied every line a dozen times and he spent the whole day reading through them.
After the day, he came out and by now the tokens are also ready.
The whole team immediately used the tokens and they were transported to a different planet. The s.p.a.ce gate is in the middle of the woods.
The team spread out and soon they found a city in one direction and the rest of the place is complete dead ends.
When they reached the city, Grivon immediately recognized the place. This is a subordinate organization directly under the control of another young master.
Grivon"s thoughts immediately went for suspecting that young master, but Sam immediately rejected them.
"Don"t jump to conclusions. Let"s just go into the city and check it. Do you have any spies here?"
"Yes."
"Contact them and don"t let the blue cloaks go. Use other subordinates."
"Why?"
"I think I am on to something. Let me see first. Tell the blue cloaks that they are under my command."
With that Sam who took a large room in the biggest inn in the city gathered all the blue cloaks and spoke to them.
"From now on, you are under my command. I believe there is a mole in the other subordinates. We don"t know exactly who it is, but we would find him out.
You guys are the only ones I could trust at the moment. So, follow my commands properly and don"t do anything differently. You should also not interfere with the work of others. Do you understand?"
They all nodded their heads.
"Now, we got the information that the person we are looking for is in the next city, we would need to travel for over an hour and the path is a bit dangerous with some beasts and there is a bandit group in the middle. We need to be careful and we are going there now. Do not let the other subordinates know. For them, we are also searching the city.
Also, take these tokens. This is the special communication token I designed, you cannot store it inside the spatial storage, but the range is better. We need to sneak out of the city one by one and we will meet at the westside forest. Don"t be late."
Sam left the room after that and directly went to the west side city gate to stand at the west forest.
There as he waited, he held the token in his hand as he waited.
One person after another, the blue cloaks started showing up and within the next half an hour, every one of them gathered again, but in the process just once, the token blinked for a while. Of course, Sam just acted as if he is tinkering with it while waiting and didn"t bother explaining.
The blue cloaks also didn"t think much of it, after all in their opinion, Sam is just a dignified nerd.
After everyone gathered, they made their way towards the next city and the forest path is true as Sam said, extremely perilous and they even encountered the bandit gang. They dealt with all of them and the beasts by themselves.
In the middle of it all, the blue cloaks separated several times for scouting purposes and meantime Sam always checked that token, which blinked occasionally.
