Chapter 137: Melt Matter
Both men looked at him doubtfully but nodded shortly after that.
Both at the same time replied.
"We don't know. It's a big organization of very high level, and we are barely among the lower strata. I hear the Recruiter knows."
Matt nodded at this.
Thanks to that first question, he could see that the poison was taking effect without any problems, so he continued.
"Do you know who the members are and what they do there? I'm interested in joining," Matt said, and they both nodded.
"They tend to look for Wealthy Nobles but also high-level people, so it should be possible for the Young Lord to join us. We don't know many members, but we know that Lord Philip and his brothers are there, as is Lord Campbell. Sometimes we sacrifice children, sometimes we make sacrifices to the sacred dagger or look for Basement bastards... Sometimes…" They said but stopped before finishing.
It seemed like they didn't remember, so Matt changed the question.
"Where do you meet within the city? Do you work from somewhere else?"
"...Nobility Club... We work from the usual and normal places..."
Once they said that, they felt the urge to vomit, and they did it forward, and an intense pain plunged into those guys' heads all of a sudden.
That made them want to let out a scream, but when they tried to do so, an icy chunk covered their mouths, and just then, two daggers shot out of their bodies.
'You're not going to explode this time.' Matt thought angrily and immediately moved his hand forward, firmly gripping one of the daggers that was going to explode.
Then, an icy chunk grew large from one side to the other, freezing both daggers and bodies simultaneously.
In an instant, the two bodies below shuddered and almost shattered the ice, causing Matt to frown.
'They're under the pressure of the dagger and my icy power, but they still have so much strength...' He thought in surprise, noticing once again the difference in power between him and them.
Still, he would not let that happen. Therefore, he clenched the dagger clutched in his hand and activated in his mind one of the most potent and deadly abilities of his Icy Curse... An ability that even he was afraid of.
'Melt Matter.'
Then, a deep pain hit his head at the same time that everything around him was transformed into a strange, crystalline water mixed with a slight shade of gray.
The ice, the dagger, the bodies, the furniture...
Everything beneath him melted as if it had never existed and made no sound at all.
Shortly after that, the remaining 'water' disappeared without a trace as it evaporated at an alarming rate.
Matt stared at this; even though he had used this ability before, he was still amazed.
Still, he soon brought a hand to his head.
'Tsk, shit, this is so painful.' After noticing that some people were walking nearby, Matt ran out of there with difficulty.
He went out the other door and entered those guys' rooms.
'Even if they don't go to that room right now, it won't be long before they find out. I'd better endure this pain however I can and continue investigating the mansion. At least I have proof this time.' He thought as he grabbed the image recording device he had used to record the little 'interview' he had done.
After that, he quickly ran towards these guys' offices, hiding from one side to the other.
He soon arrived at that office.
'From the usual places... It should be their own offices, then.' Matt thought and started to investigate here.
He soon found some stuff.
'Encrypted.' He thought, and his head continued to buzz.
He almost couldn't hear that there was a tremendous commotion outside.
The whole mansion had been shocked at not finding the leaders.
And it was when someone came running into this office that Matt noticed it, 'Tsk, I have to leave as soon as possible.' He thought, but just then, the door opened abruptly.
'Shit, the pain wouldn't let me listen...' He thought...
.
A few moments ago, in the main hall where Matt had been.
"What the hell happened here!? How can they neglect the leaders, being in the same room as them!?" a muscular man shouted.
The servants lowered their heads, "I'm sorry, Sir. The Lords asked us not to be with him because they were going to have wine with a good friend. It was very high-quality wine; we could not disobey." They replied.
"Keep searching; tell the guards that no one is allowed to leave the mansion today! Also, go to the gambling halls; I'll go to the offices; if you don't get anything, I'll murder you all!" He shouted extremely angrily as he threw several things on the ground.
All his strength was unleashed back and forth at that moment.
He was powerful, at least 20 thousand power. He was the protector of this mansion, a high-ranking member of the family to which these nobles belonged.
He quickly ran across the room and punched some thick walls that shattered before his mighty fists.
'Shit, where are the lords? I felt the inscription on their bodies disappears without a trace. But that's impossible; even if they were killed, it wouldn't happen; what the hell is going on?' He thought angrily, and just then, he felt a presence nearby.
'Someone? It's weak...' He thought, looking at the office.
'He's in there...' He thought and quickly hurried inside.
Still, no sound came out of his mouth.
He simply scanned the room once he entered.
But he felt nothing.
'How strange...' He thought and stared from side to side.
Just then, a slight movement in a curtain behind him made him turn around sharply, and he threw a strong fist towards it.
"Who are you!?" he shouted. His punch shattered the entire window behind the curtain, and the glass shot out everywhere at that moment.
'Wasn't that anyone?' he thought in confusion as he looked from side to side...
.
Matt, who had appeared above the ceiling of the place, looked at the burly and powerful man in that room with a scowl.
'That guy's stronger than Philip Baker.' He thought as he brought a hand to his cheek to remove a piece of the window glass.
It was by a few milliseconds that he managed to escape successfully.
Still, Matt smiled.
He had gotten everything he wanted.
'Not only did I kill two hindrances, but I also got some good information from that organization, from Marquis Campbell, and from this disgraceful annoying student...' He said as he looked at a few documents in his hands.
One of them had a picture of who was believed to be the 'Recruiter' of this organization.
'I have no doubt that you are to blame for my being targeted by that organization, Mr. Becker. I hope your neck is ready because now my search will be relentless.' Matt thought, smiling slightly, and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
He needed to return to the mansion to rest. Shortly after they found out that some nobles had died inside this city, everything would become chaos, so he needed to get things done faster. Two targets had been eliminated, but he still had two more to go.
However, because of his current weakness, the skills he used will not be able to be used again for a long time. At most, he might be able to use 'Melt Matter' one more time, but it's so painful that it would be better to count that the skills he could use were being discounted...
