174 Chapter 174
Leislet's words made Scarlett's frown slightly and a grim expression appeared on her face.
She knew how dangerous this kind of stuff is. Not only are they infiltrating a place that is considered the base of a group of the most notorious criminals in the world.
They are also trying to find clues to Acht which will mean it will take time to do so.
"Are you sure we should do it alone? Such a mission needs a whole army to be able to capture Nightingale and get Acht back to our side."
Leislet shook her head and responded with a cold glare. Her eyes never left the building they were in a few moments ago.
"Even though I am 100% sure that this is our target, we still don't have full proof that this is it. Also, this is Evernight. The hunter association doesn't have any authority over this city."
Scarlett nodded her head as she seemingly understood the reason for this hard choice. Then, she asked another question.
"Then, when are we going to do so?"
p
"Now it's 9:00 AM. Tomorrow, by Dawn, we will infiltrate this place secretly. We need to be quick and decisive." She said as she started walking away.
Scarlett didn't follow her immediately as she kept looking at the building. Even though this place was beautiful and calm at first sight. Somehow, at this exact moment, Scarlett felt uneasy going inside again.
But, she slapped her cheeks lightly and thought to herself.
'This is all for my Acht. I will never let those fuckers separate us. We are going to stay together forever. I will skin every one of them alive if it comes down to that.'
Then, she walked away with such interesting thoughts rolling inside her head.
*************************
The day passed and the time became night. Even though this place didn't really need time as it was an eternal nocturnal city, there were clearly a lot of differences between each part of the day.
Then, after a long night of all kinds of all kinds of sins and entertainment, the dawn finally came and the city became empty again.
In these streets, Leislet and Scarlett walked in the shadows of these streets like two ghosts. Their eyes had this cold glint in them that made them look terrifying.
The two reached the building they intended to enter. The lights were off and the doors were closed. However, they weren't there for a drink so they weren't going to enter from the doors.
The two then leaped in the air. This single jump made them reach the windows of the bar.
After that, they opened the windows and entered inside without making a single sound.
The two looked around and the place was extremely dark as there was no light at all. There was also no presence nearby.
However, they didn't let their guard down at all. With one look, the two walked to each side of the bar and started searching silently for any clues.
After minutes of looking around, they couldn't find anything worthy of noting.
However, this didn't make them give up. The two had already discovered where they should go.
The only door in the room that looked harmless was indeed not that normal after all.
So, with that in mind, they opened the door quietly and peeked inside.
There, they found a massive hall like that of a castle or a massive villa.
It was very surprising but they didn't give it any more glances. After that, they walked inside.
'What a massive place. I was right after all. This is not a normal place at all.' Leislett thought as she checked a device in her hand.
It was a GPS that tracked down a chip that Scarlett and Leislet inserted in Acht's skin.
Both of them hated the idea of doing such a thing to their beloved. But, for the sake of protecting him when he was in a coma, they had to go to such extremes for him.
The only problem this chip has is that it can only show his position a day prior.
So, what they are seeing in the GPS is where Acht was a day before.
It was slightly inconvenient but if they wanted a more precise location, they would've had to use a bigger chip which could be discovered and end up being destroyed.
The chip showed their position and the place where Acht was 24 hours ago.
The two then walked to the exact place while making not even the smallest of sounds at all.
They were akin to two shadows, lurking in the darkness of the night.
Luckily, no one was able to detect them at all and they also didn't feel any other presence coming toward them.
The door they reached was a normal door on the second floor. It was a normal-looking door like any other door they had seen before.
However, having in mind that Acht could be behind that door made them feel their hearts beating loudly.
'Is he behind this door? Is Acht really here? I want to see him so much. I miss him so much. I have so many things I want to ask him about. But, first, I want to hug him tightly. Ah, I miss him so so so much.' Scarlett and Leislet thought about basically the same things.
Then, with a nervous look, Leislet opened the door.
Each passing second made her even more scared and also agitated.
However, much to her disappointment, the room was basically empty.
There was no one inside.
The clear sadness and longing appeared on their faces. But, this didn't discourage them at all.
The two entered inside.
The moment they stepped foot inside the room, a distinct smell reached their noses.
'This is…Acht's smell. I can identify it easily. There is no doubt about it.' They both thought the same again.
Almost instantly, their faces lightened up.
They were now inside Acht's room.
