Chapter 142: A Blackmailed Agent

Emir\'s Family Flat.

Lyra continued, her voice laced with sly confidence:

"And so, I went ahead with Nathan\'s blackmail, subtly leaking information about our supposed group in the Liberation Army going against the Order. Of course, I carefully selected which details to share."

She paused for a moment, her eyes narrowing as she analyzed the situation.

"So with all that in mind, his level of trust wouldn\'t be high now, would it? Though it\'s hard to say for certain, even though he is being blackmailed, we are both going against the Order, so he at least believes that. Yet, if his expressions are any indication, there seems to be a flicker of doubt lingering beneath."

Nodding at her words, Emir said:

"Good job. I knew it was a good decision for me to leave him in your hand, you\'re quite experienced at manipulation after all."

Lyra\'s lips formed a subtle pout in response, a playful defiance in her eyes as she refused to give Emir the reaction he anticipated.

Little did she know that her decision to withhold a reply gave her reaction a quality that exceeded anything she could have mustered, only making her even more endearing.

Emir\'s face then showed a smile as he asked:

"Okay, now that it\'s confirmed we have Nathan on board, how about you, Lily?"

He shifted his gaze towards her, continuing his question:

"What information did you get from the Elite?"

Lily, seemingly anticipating this moment, couldn\'t contain her excitement and exclaimed:

"Listen! Listen! Although they didn\'t directly talk about their families, I\'ve learned a lot about the relationships between each of them."

Emir\'s eyes widened in surprise, after all, he knew how important all of this information would be in helping them get out of this mess they were in.

Encouraging Lily to proceed, he gestured for her to continue.

With enthusiasm, Lily began, "Okay, so, let me start with something that you already know, the Gold Leaf family and the Moon Scribe family are in cahoots, so the children of both families had a lot of chances to meet when they were kids, and so the Moon family\'s youngest heir, Elijah, is good friends with that Aria from the Gold Leaf family."

Smiling from ear to ear, Emir commented:

"So the principal\'s naive grandson can be used here... Well, the financial and legal Elite would fit together nicely, alright then, who\'s next?"

Nodding, she added, "Yeah... It was weird seeing Elijah act the same way you described he would..."

"But, anyways, next comes the Blackwood family, their kid, Max, is another brat and is hated by all of the Elite in the academy, so he wouldn\'t be of help."

Laura added, sitting opposite Emir:

"Neither would their family, there is even a high chance of them being connected to the Liberation Army."

Nodding at her words, Emir said:

"They hold a tight grip on the underworld after all. They must have connections with the big three."

Seeing that everyone said their piece, Lily continued:Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"The last one, being the Ebonfyre family, wasn\'t talked about as much. Olivia and the others didn\'t know if they had any heirs either, so only a select few know about Arthur being the bastard son of the family\'s head."

Emir smiled and leaned back in his chair.

"Ah, yes... The family connected to one of the ten clans, too bad they didn\'t mention which clan it was in the novel."

Clapping twice, he brought their complete attention towards him as he said:

"I have a plan in case everything goes wrong, but for now, all you need to know is that our plan is to find evidence against the Elite... Evidence that we could use in court."

Lyra knew what Emir had in mind as she asked:

"So, you want to use Nathan to track the Elite to find dirt on them?"

Nodding, he confirmed, "Yes, we still don\'t know who of the Elite have a connection to the Order, and that\'s what we would find out if we use Nathan... We will have the best of his and our men track those we find suspicious, giving us the perfect weapon."

As those words left his mouth, he smiled ever so brightly, and his family couldn\'t believe he was looking so happy while thinking about going against the entirety of the Elite, something they still didn\'t comprehend the implications of.

Lyra looked at the scene while matching Emir\'s smile, always loving to see him excited.

Standing up, he glanced over them once more.

"Alright, expect something big to happen soon, Magnus won\'t let me having the upper hand go, he desperately wants me after all..."

"For now, continue business as usual, Mom. Tell me if anything strange is happening, and we will immediately act on it. Oh, and I almost forgot, congrats to both of you for becoming celestials. I thought about it for some time. It\'s a good thing Lyra made that happen. Now you only need to decide on a specialization."

They thanked him as he waved them goodbye and left the apartment, with Lyra following closely behind.

...

Reaching the hunter association building, Emir stepped inside in what felt like years since he last did so, as the air itself felt unfamiliar.

Heading up to the receptionist, he handed out his hunter ID to her, finally noticing how small

it was in his hands.

Masking his surprise, he asked:

[Lyra? I got bigger again....]

Sounding a chuckle, she replied, her voice soft:

[Yep... although I was right in saying that you passed your growth spurt, you would still get bigger, after you rank up, your body can only compress its muscle strength for so long.]

Sighing inwardly, he said, [As long as I don\'t become a giant, I\'ll be fine with it.]

With their unimaginably fast conversation over, time resumed its usual pace, and the

receptionist grabbed his ID.

Scanning it, she let out a gasp as his profile information showed up on her terminal, followed

shortly after by a confirmation beep.

Not knowing what to say, she simply handed back his ID, waiting for him to state his reason

for visiting the association.

Understanding her woes, he said:

"I\'m here to meet with Manager Nathan."

Quietly nodding, she tapped a few times on her terminal and gestured for him to wait in the

seating area.

After a few moments of relaxed silence, they noticed the receptionist move towards them, wanting to show them the way.

But they both gestured for her to know that there was no need for help and headed towards Nathan\'s office by themselves.

Knocking on the door, they entered the room, acting as if they were normal visitors.

Nathan greeted them with stunned silence, and they waited on him for his usual gestures, but

seeing that he wasn\'t going to do it this time...

Emir walked up and sat down on the chair as if he owned the place.

"Hello, Manager Nathan, long time no see, how have you been these past months?"
