Chapter 239 - Permission To Kill?
The following day,
The members from the Crimson Hall team decided to investigate separately except Ella and Sallie. As both of them decided to work together as a team. After leaving their inn, all of them went separate ways. Ella and Sallie choose one place to go and investigate.
For this mission, they wore ordinary clothes in order not to raise any suspicions. While on the way the duo spotted a few more people belonging to their ages roaming around this city.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..." Sallie let out a small laugh before saying, "Ella, Don't you think those guys were too doing the same work?"
Hearing that Ella shifted her gaze towards the three men. Three of them follow another team in secret. Though they appeared to be cautious in their work. But still it's very noticeable from a distance. "Looks like their target is going towards the Bakery shop." Ella mumbled under her breath.
Sallie too watched their activities. She felt funny by looking at their behavior. She thought it's actually not a difficult mission but rather it's quite tricky. Since the participants' details were all open to the public. Any of them can search it online and learn about them.
As their faces were recognizable it's easy to find the target. But the hardest and tricky party is to collect details without letting them know about it. If the targeted party happens to catch a whim, then it would mess up the whole thing.
Next moment, Ella and Sallie looked into each other's eyes seemingly planning the same thing.
At this point of time, talkative Sallie opened her mouth to take lead, "Ella, Why don't we follow these two teams? We can go back to the inn after collecting the information about these two. " Sallie said with a knowing smile.
Ella thought this plan was feasible. After all, they can't waste time by roaming around the city. Ella answered, "Okay! But, I don't know whether you will be ready to use your favorite face mask or not?"
Sallie pouted hearing that it's one time use low end artefact. You can slightly change your appearance but the drawback is, it will wear off after a few days. It's difficult to remove it yourself until then, unless there is a high-level warrior willing to do it for you.
Seeing Sallie's reaction, Ella's smile curved a little. Most of the work will be done, if Sallie is willing to use her face mask. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to do. They are not experienced on this task. Only people from the intelligence team can pull off this.
While they were pondering, the three men already entered the bakery shop by following the other team.
Sallie sneered by looking at their behavior, "What's the point of blindly following someone? People won't casually talk about their organization while walking outside." She felt they are being stupid by doing this. They must be from some low level forces.
"This won't work Ella, these people are not a threat to our organization. We must change our target." Sallie said with dissatisfaction.
"Oh, Really?" Ella rolled her eyes at her. She thought Sallie didn't want to use her face mask. That's why she is changing the topic all of a sudden. But unlike her, Ella recognized one face from the trio.
That guy exited the tower along with me. But he didn't even cross the 7th flower. His power is quite ordinary. He is at Peak Trainee level. After confirming it, she agreed with Sallie.
Shaking her head, She didn't talk about the face mask any longer. Then both of them changed their ways to find suitable targets.
....
At the Star Tower Elder's Meeting hall,
An urgent virtual meeting session was being held at this moment. Except the Hall Master of the Star Tower, the rest of the Elders were virtually present.
As all of the elders were guarding strategic locations all over the city. It's impossible to attend the meeting in real body.
Not only the elders were involved in safeguarding the city, which also includes some power houses gathered by the Hall Master.
Right now, the old man, the hall master of Star tower, sat in his seat in silence. He is waiting for someone to open the discussion. As the meeting was requested by a few elders. He already knew what's going on. But he wants them to bring those topics to the table. And also he had one news to reveal at the end. Which can be regarded as the last trump card.
At this time, one of the elders opened his mouth to say, "Hall Master, This time we are in a difficult situation. The Elites from opposing forces are increasing gradually."
As the Elder broke the ice, following by it another elder began to complain. "Hall Master, We lack in Elite Warriors. I'm spending most of the time fending off those warriors. I don't know what to do, if numbers were to increase."
Followed by him, everyone began to pour out their worry. This situation is even more new for the Hall Master. He too didn't expect the number of elites to increase. He has been hearing from numerous intel reports. That many forces recruit at least one Elite level warrior on their team.
So far he heard the movements of fifty Elite warriors from the four borders. Which is more than usual. He sighed deeply, On their side here the numbers seem to be lacking.
The Hall Master feels quite a headache hearing their constant murmuring.
"Silence" He said in a hoarse voice.
The atmosphere became quiet. Achieving the response the Hall Master commented, "One by one, brief carefully, what's happening on your side." His words instilled fear among them they don't dare to disobey.
Following his words, Each Elder explained their own situation of dealing with opposing forces.
Sometime later, All of them explained their own scenario carefully without hiding anything.
From the beginning, the Hall Master begins to listen to their worries carefully. He didn't interject in the middle by asking for some clarity. When everyone has done their part to explain.
At this time the Hall Master answered, "Okay, Everyone! You all did well by protecting your own post. It's assuring that there is no casualty of Elite level warriors reported until now. But it's impossible to say that will be the case as the time progresses further."
The atmosphere became solemn for a moment. It's easy to understand their current situation. But the difficult thing is to solve the problem. It's too late now to request assistance from other forces. As it will take some time to reach here. So, it's a waste of time to ask for more assistance, they can only rely on themselves to solve the problem.
The Hall Master let out a deep sigh, "Looks like I need to leave the Star Tower for a while to assist each one of you." The Hall Master dropped bomb shells which stunner everyone.
At this point of time, Ross, the second most powerful elder beside the Hall Master commented, "Hall Master, it's against the protocol to leave the Star Tower Zone. Unless there is an imminent threat attack on Star Tower. Which is impossible to happen."
Elder Ross thought if any situation arises we can ask help from above.
The Hall Master nodded hearing Mr. Ross's words. "I'm just joking, But I believe in you guys. You won't let the situation deteriorate further." After saying that he looks at everyone's reaction. He doesn't like whining people. If they can't even find some solution, then it's shows only their incompetence.
Then the Hall Master finally came to the topic, He said, "I already informed the higher-ups about the situation. I requested permission to kill Elite level and above."
Elder Ross smiled, He was thinking about it now. But on the other hand, the Hall Master asked permission for it. A desire to kill rose in his heart.
He looked at the Hall Master and said, "Hall Master, then it's settled. We don't have to worry about their numbers. We can hold on until we get the green signal from higher ups. Once the permission arrives, We can deal them a heavy blow."
The Hall Master nodded, He too knew the importance of that green signal. Right now unlike opponents they are restrained outside of the border. Like, they can't cause damage to public property and they can't wipe out other organizations. All they can do is to deter and in some cases they can kill by evaluating the threat of the person.
They can exert their full power inside the city to kill the opponents. But unfortunately the enemy forces won't come inside the city.
The other hand, the rest of the elders sighed in relief hearing his words. They felt they had been worried for nothing. As long as the higher ups desires the situation can be overturned in a matter of seconds.. Then the meeting ended after having other miscellaneous talks.
