Chapter 139: Someone powerful infiltrated
"Sir, two things just happened. The first, the two high-ranking Nobles who were our targets disappeared less than 1 hour ago, and no whereabouts are found. There is an uproar in the mansion that belongs to them because of it." He spoke.
His words made Ericson frown, and he looked at the device in his hand and the documents.
These all gave good information about that mansion and those guys, even their families, 'Could it be him? Did he manage to disappear them?' He thought in shock.
If that was the case, he had underestimated him too much. Not just him, but the King and everyone underestimated him.
Never in his life had he ever come to think that someone who barely had a little over 5,000 power could assassinate someone with three or four times as much power as he did.
Not even because he found him sleeping should he be able to do so.
Still, he revealed nothing on his face and simply looked at the man behind him.
"What's the other thing?" He asked.
"Powerful movements... Too powerful, sir. The Lord Leader sent me to tell you that there is at least one Vampire Clan in the City; there could be two, but we don't know what they are planning. They have made several moves and have caused chaos in the House of Marquis Campbell. Also, there is a possibility that 'The Ruin' has returned; we have found traces of their power in the vicinity of the city.
That's it, I'm retiring." Said the man and jumped out the window once more and disappeared into the darkness soon after.
His duty was only to report what had happened, and the less time he spent here, the better.
Ericson Lewis looked out the window in shock.
'A Vampire Clan... Could it be the Beckers? The General seemed to be hesitant about that Becker guy being in with Campbell; maybe he knows some things...' He thought and plunged into deep thoughts.
Then he looked at the documents Matt had given him and began to sift through his thoughts for a long while.
'I see, according to what these documents say, a very important meeting will take place soon. But, if chaos is created in the city before that, wouldn't it alert them? What the fuck are the vampire clans doing? They're making things difficult for us!' he thought angrily.
While he was thinking like that, he turned around abruptly.
"Who is?" he shouted, jumping out the window after feeling a shadow cross over there.
Still, there was nothing outside.
'What the hell?' he thought, looking from side to side, but after finding nothing, he simply returned to his room.
Leaving the dark and unlit courtyard alone...
It was a terrifying darkness, but that about 30 minutes later, Ericson's figure returned.
'I seem to be very nervous. But we'd better hurry things up then.' He thought and entered his room once more.
When he entered, it was already dawn. Without realizing it, he had spent a whole night reading the documents Matt had given him repeatedly, so he had to get to work.
.
During the morning, Matt woke up again.
His head ached like never before, but this was no time to be lying down.
'I must hurry things along.' He thought and looked out the window.
The very darkness of the night was there, so he smiled.
He thought he was going to see sunlight, but then he remembered that someone once thought destroying the sun was a good idea.
'Tsk, and to think I might be familiar with that person.' Matt thought and smiled.
Since he didn't have much time, he decided to eat a quick breakfast, which he pulled out of his storage ring.
Still, as he ate, he frowned slightly and put the cutlery on the table.
Then he stood up and looked at the window.
"If you're there, why hide and not say hello?" Matt said softly.
Then one of his hands ducked behind his body, and he swung the other hand roughly with a fork, tossing it toward the window.
The fork traveled at high speed, but then Matt noticed a slight movement there, so he abruptly stopped and tossed it to another side of the room.
At the same time, he moved several forks nimbly with the same hand around the room.
Until they stuck into the wall, one by one.
It seemed as if he was playing catch with some non-existent invisible being.
Still, just as the last fork dug into the wall, Matt showed his other hand, which held a strange token, which flew at high speed and dug into the wall, holding something.
Just then, Matt frowned and jumped back, summoning his Bloody Vampire General token again to his hand.
'This guy... What a terrifying power.' Matt thought in shock.
For a moment, Matt thought the intruder was not very strong since he could figure it out. But now he realized that maybe he found out because that guy allowed it.
That's why he kept on guard, preparing to do his best to escape from here.
"I never imagined that a little general could discover me. You are good, Matthew Dietrich. Don't worry; I just came to give you some news from my master." He said this and then tossed parchment onto the table where Matt had been eating. A strange red and yellow power enveloped the parchment.
The moment it landed on the table, the power enveloping it destroyed part of the table, and it fell to the floor.
That left Matt in shock, but when he went to look up, no one was there.
'...'
Speechless, Matt stayed in his same position, ready to move at any moment. After finding nothing, he simply frowned and grabbed the scroll.
Then he read it and frowned even more after seeing this.
He immediately pulled out the documents he had brought from the house of those guys he had just murdered the day before and started thinking once again.
The pain in his head didn't stop him from starting to connect the dots quickly.
Soon after, he smiled.
'I see, so that's how it is...' he thought and ran to talk to Ericson. He told him to move the low-level nobles with his family to a different location without much custody in the city and not to hide their tracks.
At the same time, he went to Reagan Cooper and the two Army Generals.
"It's time to get moving. We'll be playing catch the fish, but it'll be quick." He said and turned around without another word and left the mansion. At the same time, he sent a message to Alice, for he would need her help or, instead, the help of Clan Allen.
Although those three didn't understand much, Ericson told them a little about Matt's plan, and they all started to move.
