Chapter 128



“Hey take a look at this,” Harold pointed at different screens. There were people in different groups moving in a coordinated way while entering all the brothels owned by Catherine Walker. Based on the way they moved they were all martial artists.

‘A clan or some sect, but why are they going against Walker?’

“Do you know who these people are, and what they want?”

“I don’t really know who they are, but I think I know what they want. I took a quick scan of their phones, and each group has some designated leader and each of these leaders has one similar picture on their phones. It’s the picture of Larry’s mother Mollie Fletcher.”

“If she’s the one they’re looking for I have a good guess as to who’s looking for her. So how about Catherine Walker have you found her yet?”

“Ever since you’re killing spree of mob bosses, the big dogs have done various things to keep themselves safe from you. Catherine Walker has several dozen safe houses, and she switches from one safe house to another every day. Finding which safe house she was in now might take a while more.”

.....

Fade nodded his head and went to the side as to not disturb Harold, he then started double-checking his equipment. The Equipment he chose today was the usual wires and needles, then there was the modified Barrett M82 with the bullets he imbued with different spells. He was also carrying the M1911. This was the first time in this world that Fade had been so heavily armed, but since he was not sure how strong the opponent was it was best to be prudent. Fade then started to gather his mana.

“[Minor Protection], [Deflect].” After invoking the spell words the two spells enveloped Fade.

[Minor Protection] was a low-tier spell that’s able to strengthen one’s defense by a little bit. It has the same effect as if you were wearing a suit of leather armor.

[Deflect] was a one-time-use spell. It can only be applied once per day. The mana consumption of this spell wasn’t all that great but the effect was life-saving. The spell could change the trajectory of one physical range attack. It doesn’t work on spells or anything supernatural but against a bullet, it would work.

After he was done casting the spells he checked how much mana he had left after activating the spells. The mana that was depleted was larger than he anticipated. Fade sighed as he meditated trying to refill as much mana as possible.

...

“I found her! She’s at her so called safehouse #3. It’s a high-rise building with fifteen floors, it’s located in the business district. Based on the information I got, it seems like the other big bosses are also close by. I’m guessing that since Scorpion can’t find you he’s using his clients as bait. The distance between each of them isn’t even a kilometer.” Harold showed Fade a map of the area as he pointed out where the other big bosses were located.

“Can you show me what the surrounding area of the place looks like?”

Harold started typing something and then various camera angles appeared on his screens. It was a live feed from the CCTVs in the area. Fade looked at each screen and once he got a good grasp of what the area looked like he nodded his head.

“So what do you-” Harold turned around but Fade was no longer there. “I can never get used to that, it’s cool though.”

...

In a certain building, a middle-aged man wearing a suit was checking his bullets looking for imperfections. He would open a box of bullets pick the best one and throw the others. This man was John Ray also known as the Elegant Scorpion.

It has been a few days now since he was hired to kill the so called urban legend of Leim city. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to track the guy he could not find a trace of him. Still, this was rather normal for people in their profession. So if he could not find Fade, then all he needed to do was wait for him to appear.

He could not predict who Fade’s next target would be, but he knew that based on how Fade did things he would most likely try to assassinate one of his current clients at some point. Knowing this he had asked his current clients to always stay close to each other, so no matter who Fade decides to target he could react fast enough.

Right now, John was staying at a building exactly eight hundred meters away from each of the buildings his clients were staying at. He had placed motion detectors in the best shooting spots to kill his clients. There were also numerous guards always with his clients. Now all he needed to do was wait.

‘I wonder just how good this newbie assassin is... I’ve only seen that one video of his so I can’t even tell if he’s a martial artist or not. Still, based on his various exploits his weapon of choice should be wires and some sort of hidden weapon, maybe throwing stars or something similar. Normally when using hidden weapons you need to be close to the target to be able to kill, but from what I heard this guy could kill his target a few hundred meters away. Well, no matter how good he is while using those kinds of things, his range is still a far cry from what my beloved Scorpion can achieve.’

Ray couldn’t help but get a little bit excited. It has been quite some time since he had a challenging target. Being in the middle of the Dark Rankings meant mostly mediocre jobs with good payment or near impossible jobs with sh*tty pay.

As he was thinking about his previous jobs one of the motion detectors caught something and based on how big it was, it wasn’t a bird.

‘So his target is Ms. Catherine Walker. Hmph, now Mr. Urban Legend either you kill my client or I kill you first, let’s see who’s better.’
