Chapter 199 - Confusing Investigation
Chapter 199: Confusing Investigation
[The portal has closed! ]
\'I have to make sure my plans go smoothly,\' I thought. I turned to the clock.
5:52 AM
It was still early, but I decided to take my cellphone and text Pearl. Since Myra wouldn\'t come with Miguel, I had to change my plans a bit, especially looking for a way to trap them somewhere so I could lure the reporters to uncover their affair. That\'s why I asked some of Pearl\'s bodyguards to come with us, in case I needed their help. After all, now, not only Ronan who was injured, but also Ian since Miguel hit his head with a vase yesterday. Well, in a pinch, I would use my manipulation or my devil\'s puppet skill to make them admit their own scandal in front of the reporters, but that was the last choice since those skills would make their eyes look blank. Even if it was not clear enough, since the reporters would record this big scandal and broadcast it on TV. One might notice that they were under some kind of manipulation skill, especially the demon hunter association.
- Clek.
The sound of the door being opened was heard followed by Foxy\'s voice.
"Master, are you home?" she said in a half sleepily tone. One of her hands rubbed her eye.
"Good morning, Foxy," I said. My hand put my cellphone on my desk after I sent my message.
"Good morning, master." She walked up to me and hugged me. Her tails wagged slowly and a smile on her lips.
I replied by stroking her soft hair.
"Is Celia awake?" I asked.
"Not yet, master. She studied till late last night," she said.
"Then can I borrow your body for a moment?" I said. I decided to investigate Myra\'s house as soon as possible. At least even if I didn\'t find any documents regarding her plan, I could find out her schedule today. That way, I could figure out where she was, if I had to take Miguel to meet her.
"Do you want me to sneak into Mrs. Clea\'s house again?" said Foxy as she released her hug away from me.
"Not her. I want to investigate something else."
"Okay."
After those words, I sat in my chair and leaned my back, my hand extended to her.
\'Master\'s Blessing. \'
[Please enter how long do you want to give your blessing.]
\'12 hours\'
[Do you want to synchronize your body with your servant? ]
\'Yes.\'
[You have used up 12 DP. ]
[Your Servant\'s strength has increased by 30%]
[Now you can access your servant body remotely.]
Then I shifted my hand to empty space as I opened my portal.
\'Portal.\'
[Set your destination.]
\'Clehinwus Boulevard bus stop, Lightglen City.\'
[The destination has been set.]
My portal opened in front of me.
[The portal has opened! ]
It was the closest place based on my memory to Myra\'s home address. Just like Emma\'s home district, Clehinwus Boulevard was also a district of the rich, so the bus stop should be empty.
\'Close the portal after Foxy arrives at the destination!\'
[Waiting for Foxy enters and leaves the portal]
I closed my eyes.
\'Access servant\'s body, Foxy. \'
[You are connected to Foxy.]
\'Full Synchronize!\'
[Full Synchronize in 3 ... 2 ... 1]
The darkness in my sight began to change with the view of myself sitting on my chair, my hands falling weakly as if I was sleeping. My eyes fixed on Foxy\'s two hands and moved it to make sure I could move her body perfectly. After I used Foxy\'s hiding skill, I stepped into the portal.
Since I used Foxy\'s hiding skill, I walked out of the portal without checking my surroundings. Besides, like most of the rich district, this area also had a lot of shady trees and as expected this bus stop was empty. After I made sure my portal was closed, I stepped my feet along the big houses and mansions that were lined up along the street. What distinguished it, this district\'s mansions and houses were more modern than Emma\'s. Guided by the signposts, I found the address in 15 minutes. Unfortunately, a large \'On Sale\' sign hung on the gate.
\'Did Emma give me the wrong address?\' But I remembered she sent this address from her contact directly, so she shouldn\'t be wrong.
\'I should check it to make sure this place is really empty,\' I thought.
I climbed over the fence and jumped down. My feet moved quickly through the yard. Luckily, even though Foxy\'s body was smaller than mine, her light body and her talent allowed me to move faster. I entered through an unlocked window and found the house completely empty, not even a single piece of furniture left there. But the house condition that was still clean, made me sure she just moved recently.
Still, I decided to check out the place for more details. Who knew she was using the sign to cover up her secret lab or whatever she was hiding to avoid the police and association. Unfortunately, after I checked all parts of the house, again, my guess was wrong since I couldn\'t find anything here, not even a clue. I snorted in annoyance as my eyes swept the large empty room in the middle of the house.
\'Fine, then I\'ll check Miguel\'s room.\'
------
7:17 AM
I sat in my chair with an irritated face as a long breath escaped my mouth. While Foxy, who was standing in front of me, also looked disappointed.
"Where did they hide it?" I muttered irritably. I had checked Miguel\'s room and again, I also found nothing. Then since I was not satisfied with my investigation\'s results which only gave me a little information, I had tried to find Myra\'s other home addresses by asking all my slaves, but they didn\'t know. I had also asked Emma about this, but she didn\'t know any other address than the one she gave me. Despite all my work, since all of my investigations ended in dead ends, it surely pissed me off.
\'But if it\'s that easy, of course the other four demon generals have known this for a long time,\' I thought. Even I, who had spent my entire life in the human world, still couldn\'t find much information about this even though it felt so close. Besides, other demon generals spent more time in the dark dimension.
"Master, is that document that important?" asked Foxy in confusion. She was quite confused as to why I looked so pissed off just because of the documents that I didn\'t even know existed or not.
Another breath escaped my mouth as I swallowed my irritation. I leaned back onto my chair, pinched the bridge of my nose and massaged it, my eyes closed. My brain was trying to find other ways to get another clue.
"It is. This is important for the human world and the dark dimension. Unfortunately this is more difficult than I thought," I said.
\'Then there is only one way, I have to find information from the source.\' The other way was to wait for Myra to appear in her office and follow her to her house. But since Miguel would meet me tonight, I chose to use him to take me to Myra\'s place.
Then I could feel Foxy touch my hand.
"What can I do to help you?"
I opened my eyes and looked at Foxy\'s worried face. My hand gave her a soft pat on the top of her head.
"You can\'t do anything, Foxy. Neither can I," I said with a smile, trying to shake off her bad feelings.
Only briefly, I got up from my chair.
"Since it\'s morning already, how about we make breakfast for Celia?" I decided to take a break from this confusing problem and get my breakfast.
Foxy nodded and we walked out of the room to the kitchen.
