Since they got a new task, the team immediately split up, planning their own movements based on their specialties.
For Erwin, he was roaming around while acting arrogant as usual. However, he was observing every single person, especially the one from the country Clovis mentioned.
Of course, since the information came from Angelia, her country was also monitored by him.
Kanaria was working with Vina to see if there were any movements. All of them started with logistics, such as the number of people, the amount of food, and other equipment.
Once she could track all of them, the situation would become clear.
Still, the most important role would be left to Aileen.
Unlike anyone else, her presence could be erased completely.
Clovis was already surprised by Angeliaâs lack of presence, but Aileen was even more amazing than her in concealing her presence, and Aileen was still Tier 7. If she became Tier 8, her ability would evolve further.
That was why Aileen followed their leader, Jun, as much as possible. There was a high chance of him being involved, so she made sure to get everything.
It looked like there was indeed a conspiracy.
Aileen was leaning against the wall with a calm expression, waiting for Jun inside the room.
It was then that she overheard a conversation.
"Everything has been prepared. However, Angelia and Raven are pretty much uncooperative."
"It doesnât matter if they cooperate with us or not. What really matters is whether you can stop them or not."
It was a voice that she couldnât recognize, but it was clear that someone was there with him. Aileen maintained her concealed presence, making sure not a single mistake occurred so as to not alert the enemy.
"Of course I can do it. As long as I can do this..." Jun squinted his eyes.
"Of course. The Prophet will reward you greatly. No, he might even make you his student if you really succeed."
Jun clenched his hands into fists. Becoming a student of a Tier 9 human was simply different from any other benefit. First of all, the teacher would most likely protect their student.
And just having a Tier 9 human behind him would greatly boost his reputation.
Just like how people were wary of Clovis, who had the backing of Michael Hacfield and Ezekiel Elseingarde, Jun would become one of the most fearsome men once he became the Prophetâs student.
"Just make sure you do well. If not, you will have to pay the price." The man exited the room after he said his piece.
As soon as he got outside, he couldnât help but look to the left, only to find an empty space.
"..." Aileen stayed silent the whole time and even hid her body behind a small pillar.
The man then walked away, slowly but carefully.
Aileen tried to follow the man, considering he was the one with the link to the Prophet.
Unfortunately, she wouldnât be able to capture or kill this person. After all, the man was actually a Tier 8 human.
If she came with the intention to kill, the other party would pick up on her killing intent.
So, she just followed him until they reached the lobby. After that, he took a seat, opened a newspaper, and stayed still. It was as if he was just waiting and observing the state of the hotel right after.
"..." Aileen couldnât help but wonder if she should continue tailing him or just report back.
She waited for at least four hours until a group of people, all Tier 8 humans, approached him.
"Have you been waiting for us?"
"We are not late, are we?"
Aileen couldnât help but squint her eyes. âThere are 7 Tier 8 humans? Are there more? Not just Tier 8... There might be more elites at Tier 6 or Tier 7 who arenât important enough to be included...â
âIt looks like there is going to be a big clash this time.â Aileenâs body suddenly shook.
She couldnât help but hear, "Hmm?"
"Whatâs wrong?"
"I donât know..." The woman looked around but couldnât see anyone. "Maybe itâs just my feeling."
"Are you nervous? Well, you can be nervous, considering our target this time."
In the meantime, Aileen had completely gone as soon as there was a sign that her operation was about to be discovered.
She was the last one to report, but her report was the most important.
"I see." Clovis crossed his arms. The rest of the group had grim expressions.
7 Tier 8 humans were something they couldnât take lightly.
There were three Tier 8 generals from Absalom if Clovis wanted to ask for help, but they still needed to fight four more people.
Clovis wouldnât be able to handle him alone, especially if this Tier 8 human possessed a pseudo unique ability.
At most, he could handle a normal Tier 8 human. Anything beyond that would require assistance.
Christina should be able to take one on, but the problem would be the rest of the team. He might have to ask them to cooperate with each other to take on the other two.
But the problem was that Clovis planned to go ahead so that the country didnât get involved in this clash.
Clovis muttered, "There is nothing weird with the logistics, but there are at least 7 Tier 8 humans, so itâs clear that theyâre operating alone. If we take the âdiscipleâ thing into account, Jun might be doing this without his countryâs knowledge.
"In the worst-case scenario, the country knows, and we will have to include them in the equation."
Erwin nodded in agreement. "There is no special finding on my side. However, I have seen Junâs face. From the looks of it, heâs a very greedy person who isnât satisfied with his current status. So, it might be because of his personal greed."
Clovis wondered how he should proceed with this. After all, he didnât really want to involve Absalom unless it was necessary.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, startling them.
However, the moment they heard the voice or her line, it was clear who the person was.
"Room service. Food service? Bed Wrestling? Or maybe an information service?"
