The next day the whole team are sitting inside a single room of the inn as they are listening to the report Watt is reading after the shadow mice ca back.
At the sa ti, the similar thing is happening inside the Count eting hall.
"They seed to be investigating about so gangs and illegal businesses. I heard them when they are talking about a person nad Sam who seed to be busy with sothing inside the inn."
The middle-aged man who looked was tasked to keep an eye on them was giving his report to the Count and his son.
"Didn’t you find him at the inn then?"
"I tried, but the other party placed so kind of formation, it will not only alarm the party, it seed to have so offensive functions as well, so I didn’t probe him further. It completely concealed him from my vision and spiritual sense."
"What, a Peak stage Novice like you, can’t even see through a formation from a person with a cultivation less than you.?"
"Yes, Master."
The Count was deep in thought on how to proceed about this, killing all the mbers crossed his mind, more than once. Because, only he, his son and the servant standing in front of him knew that he is the big-boss of all the cris.
If they are really investigating the underground business and it is part of their mission, he can’t let them go at all.
But the middle-aged man interrupted his thoughts.
"Master, I have sothing else to report."
"Do tell."
"A young lady among their team seed to posses the qualities you are searching for."
When he said these words, the room was silent for a second before the count beca frenzied.
"What did you say? Are you sure?"
"Yes, master. She has exact sa qualities you ntioned. Her spirit and aura are sothing different and she seed to possess the rcury marrow constitution you ntioned."
When the count heard him, he imdiately stood up and said.
"Imdiately bring her here. Try to con her, if not possible use force. But don’t kill anyone openly. We will secretly deal with in dark and nobody of them will be going out of this city alive."
Count imdiately ordered and after the middle-aged man left, he said to his son.
"Gather every mber of the clan and gang and be on high alert. We don’t know of they had any power house escorting them. Gather all our mbers in our family estate and guard the door. I will make the ritual arrangents.
Even if the girl is not soone who we are looking for, the conflict will already be started. So, we need to prepare to take them down, but if she is really the one and even if the powerhouse did show up. I need an uninterrupted 3 hours with the girl to perform the ritual, you are in charge of it."
After that both father and son went on their ways.
At this mont the team mbers are already done with the report and when they got the news from on of the mice that the Count is suspicious of them, they realised their mistake of being overly active.
They decided that they will put on an act of being on a vacation. So, they separated and went on to various places.
Watt is the only one inside the room with Falck, thinking on how to deal with the situation. He and Jack went overboard with the investigation and sohow their group has been recognised by Count’s son.
But at this mont a shadow mouse streaked in and when he heard the news on what it is, he was completely shocked.
The news is about the peak stage Novice making a move to catch a girl from their group. But Watt didn’t know who that girl is, but he was glad that the mouse ca as soon as it got the news.
That person might not have made a move yet.
But Watt didn’t know where the girls are and he didn’t know whether their target is Kelly or Jasmine.
He wanted to ask Sam on what to do, but when he opened the door and saw, the ape didn’t let him in at all. He tried to say sothing and Falck translated. Ape also gave an answer.
In short, "Boss is in a critical stage and we cannot disturb."
Watt didn’t have any choice and ca out of the inn, and imdiately boarded on Falck.
Both of them flew in the sky as they made loud noise attracting all the attention. Many people only looked at them with curiosity, but they didn’t care much.
But the teammates recognised them and followed the duo. Watt was searching for the girls as fast as he can. He finally spotted them at the beach.
When Watt landed, he was already late, the Peak stage novice already reached the place and is talking to the two ladies.
He ran towards them as he looked at the frown of their faces, when Kelly made eye contact with him, he signalled to get out of that place, but before they could react, the middle-aged man reacted and abducted Jasmine.
When Kelly tried to resist, she was knocked out.
The middle-aged man was fast as he imdiately moved.
At this mont, their remaining teammates ca running.
"The count sent soone to abduct Jasmine, I got info that he is using her for a ritual. We only have three hours; Boss is in a critical stage of cultivation, inform as soon as possible. Jack let’s go.
Philip, they are also planning on eliminating them, you lead the rest and stay with Boss, until he cos out you have to hold on. If it is possible, we will try to get her back."
Watt said, he imdiately flew on his beast as Jack followed him by land.
The rest of them imdiately went back to the inn to inform Sam at any mont.
Watt is really anxious on what is going to happen. He didn’t know, if they can find a loop hole and get Jasmine back, at this mont all he wished was for Sam to co out.
He didn’t know if Sam can turn the situation around. But he felt that there might be a chance, if he was really here.
Even though, Watt flew, he mainly did so, to not lose the sight on the abductor and also give Jack a direction.
They finally stopped outside, the Cougar estate. They saw as the middle-aged man entered the estate and run towards a building deep inside.
But they didn’t dare go inside, because, there are a lot of people gathering inside the estate and all of them are Novice stage.
There are a lot of people from the Novice early stage to Novice peak stage.
When the flow of the people stopped, there seed to be more than three hundred people. They didn’t know what to do. Sneaking is almost impossible.
At this exact mont, Sam finally opened his eyes. He is at Level 7 Novice, finally at the late stage.
If not for his exhausted ntal state, the breakthrough would have been easy.
He stood up and looked at Sky and Yanwu who just opened their eyes, at this mont, the ape ca forward and said sothing, Sam’s expression changed, the happiness on his breakthrough just a mont ago was gone.
He ca out of the room and saw Philip and the rest are running towards him. From their expressions, one could say that they are really glad that Sam ca out.
"Thank goodness, you are out." Philip explained the whole situation on how Watt and Jack went after the abductor to get Jasmine and also about the whole ritual.
His expression grew colder.
Apart from the anger, there is only one thought in his mind.
’Why?’
This is the only question in his mind.
In his previous life, Stella was also in sa situation, even when he was in top of the world, they still dared to do this.
Now, when he was still a Rank 5 Artisan, the status, all of it seed nothing now.
Even though, Jasmine is not as close as Stella, he is still frustrated.
The scenario was extrely similar to what happened in his previous life.
The family heads of those clans in didn’t dare to do anything to him, but their sons, who don’t how dangerous he is dared to do this.
Now, the situation is almost sa. The marquis, who is a lot stronger than him, didn’t even refute him when he blatantly went to him mansion and threatened him.
But here, a count, who isn’t half as strong as the marquis is blatantly making his move on a person under his wing.
Why?
Why is this happening?
Even though, he was plagued by this, he didn’t stop one second. He took out his hoverboard and moved towards the estate. Yanwu, Sky and ape who are outside, also moved out and started following him.
His teammates are the last ones to follow him as they were still in daze by Sam’s speed.
Sam didn’t stop for his teammates, today he is determined to know the answer that is plaguing his mind. He doesn’t want to let the history repeat again and the sa scenario shouldn’t happen in the future as well.
