Chapter 261: Crack down (2).
The trio walked into the empty alley where the manhole was located. It was only after the system had reported that there was no one at the other side did they open it up and jump in.
"Holy fuck!" Blake quickly held his nose when the distinct stench of rotten egg mixed with lots of shit, flowed into his nostrils. They quickly grabbed the gas masks in their dimensional space and put them on.
"This isn't how I imagined the sewers to be." Blake felt like throwing up when he saw liquid sewage flowing through the channels. The 'sidewalks' weren't clean either, algae, excrements, and insects could be seen all around.
[Seems you have forgotten you are at the slums.] The system reminded Blake. As expected the sewer system of the slums was the worst in every aspect possible. Not only were they less maintained, but they were rarely cleaned unlike those of the middle class and central region.
Trying to ignore the nasty sight, the trio continued moving through the tunnels, in 10 minutes' time they arrived at a safe distance away from the hideout entrance.
While Brian monitored the entrance, Blake and Castiel went into stealth mode to place a mana disruptor at the tunnel that directly led to the hideout. This was to make sure their escape route was secured in case something went wrong.
"Any activity so far? Blake asked through the mind link when they returned.
"Nothing at all." Brian replied.
"It's about time they return from their operation. So all we have to do is have a little patience." Blake said.
After close to 20 minutes of waiting, people began popping up on the system's detection range.
"It's time boys." Blake and Castiel went into stealth mode as they positioned themselves at the top of the ceiling using arcane magic to hold themselves.
Soon after footsteps were heard and in a few seconds, gang members appeared, and after one of the 3rd in command leading them made a call with his communication amulet, the stone door slid open.
The crates they had robbed had been taken into the sewers. So they need more people to carry them into the hideout.
'This would take some time.' The door wasn't tall enough for him to crawl past. So they could do nothing but watch.
They watched as some of the Black scorpion gang members came out of the hideout and helped the rest to carry the crates.
'That's a lot of crates, did they empty the entire warehouse?' Castiel was stunned as crates after crates were being taken into the hideout.
[This should be the last guy.] The system reported to Blake.
'Finally.' Blake crawled down and stood beside the door, but because of the camouflage effect and presence concealment of the night veil, the guards were unable to see or sense him even though he was up close.
When the last gang member arrived Blake went behind him, and just when he got past and the stone door was about to close, Blake threw a void dagger at his head.
CRASH!
The void dagger pierced through his gang member's skull and he fell face-first causing the crate to shatter.
"Huh?"
By now the door had closed, but before the guards could realize what was going on, a spatial tear open. Blake who was wrapped in arcs of lightning dashed out, beheading them before they could even make a sound.
"I knew Fin will be clumsy to drop one of the crates. Unlucky for him, the boss hasn't been in a good mood after Jones failed to rob the carriages of the brotherhood pub."
The shattering of the crate made quite a loud noise and had gotten the attention of 2 other gang members who were not too far. Blake activated the night veil's camouflage and climbed to the top of the ceiling.
"What is going on here?" When the 2 gang members arrived they saw 3 dead bodies and were about to raise an alarm but that was when Blake appeared behind them and decapitated them.
'Not a bad hideout.' Blake said as he looked around.
Beyond the entrance of the hideout, the walls were smoothened and every corner was properly lit by light sources at the top of the ceiling.
'Time to shut this place down.' Using the hideout's map which had been integrated into the system, Blake located the best spot to place a mana disruptor. It was located at the point of the entrance which branched off into 2 corridors.
'Do your magic.' After setting the mana disruptor which was in the shape of a disk at the top of the ceiling, Blake gave a little bit of distance before activating it.
Zzzg Zzzg
Blake heard the sound of sparks from it before everywhere went dark.
'Perfect.' He switched to the system's night vision, before going to the stone door and opening it for Castiel to enter.
'Let's end this as soon as possible.' Blake thought his mind link before activating the skill of a locator. The ash clairvoyant light appeared and went through the left corridor.
The plan was for Blake to go after the gang boss and his 2nd in command while Castiel was to take care of the other.
When the lights went out, the boss who was currently in darkness with one of his 2nd in command looked at each other.
"Warn them immediately, there is an infiltrator." The boss said to his 2nd in command, who immediately left the room.
"Fuck they actually went for the power!" The boss cursed as he stood up from his chair and went into the core room.
The hideout had only 1 exit, but the boss had a 1 man warp array in case they were found out. The problem was that it needed power to run.
It sounds stupid in a way, but the truth was that warp arrays with their own independent power source were 5 times costlier, and for a small gang like them it was even surprising that he could purchase this one.
