Chapter 1029: Infiltration
Their first target, the prodigal son of the elder has one routine every day. He would go to a bar and gather along with some of the lackeys of some moderately powerful and rich people and drink with them while all of them try to kiss his ass so that he could feel better about himself.
That is the only thing that can be remotely considered as a routine. The rest of his day is completely unpredictable.
The Enforcement Department is a special department. The City guards are responsible for stopping the crimes and regular patrol while the Enforcement department handles all the matter regarding handling the criminals, bringing them to trials or even sometimes delivering immediate punishments.
They are also responsible for investigating the internal affairs and workings of the administrative departments.
They don't move in the public eye that much, except for this prodigal son.
That night, after that guy finished his regular drinking session, Gran and Sia kidnapped him in an empty alley.
He disappeared for the night and throughout, he was in presence of Kiran who studied him to create a perfect disguise.
After the required four hours, he was disposed of instantly and Sam used the help of a specter to transfer all his memories to Kiran.
Kiran spent the rest of the night studying those memories before going out as the prodigal son.
He went to the residence directly. The next morning, an hour before noon, he went to the enforcement department office which is located very near to the premises of the Night Demon family estate.
Since the enforcement department handles the affairs and investigations on the staff of various departments, he looked through some of the department records which he had access to as a vice-captain, to get some information regarding the employees.
These documents cannot be carried in spatial rings as they might have some trouble if any of the enemies get their hands on them.
"Why do you want to go in there?" The special guard stationed at the room asked the Vice-captain. Since he is just a person of authority in name, they wanted to confirm that he is not doing anything stupid.
"I need to get information on some women in the administrative department. I heard that new receptionists are sexy. I would like to woo them. You have a problem with that."
Kiran got into the guard's face as he arrogantly said in a condescending tone.
The special guard wanted to smack the shit out of him, but held his urge and let him in.
There is a special formation that blocks the spatial storage access so that the documents wouldn't be moved.
Even though cultivators can remember everything with a single read, the Night demon family took some measures in the past so that no one would easily trust the information from the department through the mouth. There were some bad examples that led to this distrust. This is something they got from the target's memory.
Now, Sam doesn't have to worry about those wrong information and such, Kiran read through the files.
The enforcement department has records of who went where due to their assigned jobs.
Kiran's focus was to see who are the investigators that went to investigate Sam and the Blood demon issue.
After he got the information as fast as he can, he looked through the administration records and took out the sheet of a hot girl, and yelled at the guard.
"Yo, can I take this with me? It is a pain in the ass to remember all of it."
The guard who was about to check on this guy suddenly lost interest to do so and spoke sternly.
"Nothing can be taken out of that room. If you are done get out."
Kiran browsed some more and left the room.
He went straight to the administrative office and flirted with the receptionist almost making her feel disgusted to the point that she would never forget this in her whole life.
Later he continued his daily routine and exchanged the information he obtained with Sia who took it to Sam.
He then kept on living as the target for the next few days.
Sam looked through the information and made preparations.
After getting the initial information from the Blood demon family, they came back and reported before getting assigned tasks on which direction they should go for further investigation.
He then went to the Tri-Ashura realm information, but before that, he met with Kiran in the forest to give him something.
"There are a bunch of new toys this. You have to be careful with them. I will give you a demo."
With that, Sam took out a small cylinder. It is just the size of a normal battery.
He placed it on a large rock and twisted the top of it which looked like a cap.
Inside the cylinder, there is some brown-colored liquid.
Sam came back and took out a small token which seemed to have been made out of some rock and there are some engravings and inscriptions on it.
"If you twist it like that, it will be active. You need to be extremely careful. A moderate impact will make it explode."
Kiran looked a bit skeptical. The small battery no matter how potent it can be, he didn't think it would cause that much damage.
But Sam crushed the token in his hands and…
*BOOM*
an explosion occurred.
The earth's elemental energy completely shook the surroundings and even Kiran instinctually flinched even though they are a safe distance away.
"It has been a while since I made something that is this good. Use your disguise techniques to hide them in some places. It would be better if they are near the formation nodes of the Night Demon family. But make sure that no one suspects your current identity directly.
If possible try to find the rival of your current identity's target or someone from the undead faction who is bitter about the recent developments. Try to frame someone of your age. Don't make it too obvious just make sure that someone notices and there is no possible alibi for them."
Kiran nodded as he looked at the last place of destruction. He left after taking the storage ring.
Next, Sam went to the Tri-Ashura, realm waiting for the rest of the team to arrive.
The team arrived on time.
Only two of them succeeded in drawing the Night Demons out and killed them sneakily. They even brought the corpses with them. It is none other than the Saber Monarch and Jwala who accompanied him.
Sam took the corpses and then gave the information he got from Kiran.
"Split into two teams. One with Night Ghost and the other with Tamas, both of them can get information from the souls. Try to disguise yourself as much as you can. The information regarding the investigators is here.
Try to catch them or kill them as fast as you can. You have a week's time. If you cannot kill all of them or even cannot kill them at all comeback. But do make sure that each team at least attacks one investigator. Keep your identity a secret and don't do this in open if possible."
After giving the instructions, he went back and waited for the results.
For the next week, he just let the shadow mice, Sia and Gran get as much information as they can, so that he can try and use it against the Night Demon family.
After the week is over, the team returned.
They managed to kill three investigators in total.
Sam didn't mind the result.
He just waited for the results to take effect.
"Just relax for now. We will be getting busy in no time."
These are his exact words.
After two days, Kiran gave some information.
"Night demon family got the news from other realms. Their investigators are missing. No one knows if they are dead or alive.
But one family gave the information that two people killed the Night demon investigators who came to their family for assistance because of the dispute caused by one of their younger generations.
At first, they thought it might be related to us, but due to report of the two people killing due to that family dispute, they are more inclined towards the fact that they fell into a mess caused by that dispute and offended some high-level people.
What is our next step?"
"Well, since they are already a bit tense, let us intensify it. Use one of the explosives I gave you and destroy one of the Night demon family's guard stations.
If possible try to make them suspect some other guy. Not too much, just a small link."
"Who do you want me to choose? There are too many options."
"This guy, the Vice-captain of the city guard. He is going on for regular rounds. Try to use some trick to make him disappear from the public eye while you do it and we will be fine."
