Asher looked around as Dane and Kai successfully hid the bodies of the two guards.
[00:09:57]
Tom reminded them as Dane and Kai moved towards Asher, who was heading towards the Central building inside the facility.
From this point on, they were supposed to follow the plan that Asher had laid out very carefully. Even one mistake would alert the whole facility, and their plans would be ruined.
Asher looked at numerous guards standing in front of the Central Building.
Tom was monitoring multiple drone footage from the house he was sitting in. He was under a lot of stress because he couldn't afford to make a single mistake.
"You will need to circle around the Central building before you spot a red-colored gate," Tom said, looking at the facility's blueprint.
"It will be opened when the guards change their shifts. You have 50 seconds to make it in time," Tom instructed them.
He couldn't see them on the footage because of Kai's ability, so his instructions needed to be very clear.
As the three of them were running around, suppressing their sounds, Kai couldn't help but observe Asher's movements.
'Did elite families train their children like this?' He couldn't help but notice how calm Asher was in this situation.
It was similar to how professionals in his field behaved. But, first, they needed to maintain a certain breathing pattern to suppress their presence entirely. Although Kai had told Asher how to do it, it was not easy to master.
Moving around while using a definite amount of mana, making minimal movements, and suppressing your breaths took years to master. This made Kai think that Asher was trained like this from a young age.
'So all that talk about Greville's Heir being unawakened until 14 was false,' Kai concluded from his observation.
Asher's eyes scanned the various B Rank hunters present there.
He had three motives for coming here himself.
Although everything was going according to his plan, the existence of the System and various mysteries around his regression were bothering him.
At first, he was going to make the first appearance of Zephyr around his second year in the World Academy, but he decided to do it a lot earlier.
In 40 seconds, they arrived at the Red Gate, which was going to open in 10 seconds for the shift change.
"I told you that bastard was lying," one of the guards laughed loudly as his group walked towards the red gate.
They didn't know that at this moment, three people were standing just behind them, walking with them.
The gate opened when one of the guards used his key to gain access to go inside.
Asher saw the gate opening and revealing a huge facility inside where a bunch of hunters could be seen standing, waiting for their shifts to begin.
"Did the supplies arrive?" one of the hunters asked.
"I got the confirmation, but it's your shift now, so not our problem," one of the guards who had just entered shrugged his shoulders.
There were 10 B Rank Hunters here, but none noticed the three people that slipped past them and were inside the Central Building.
Asher was walking behind Dane and Kai, who were quietly making their way toward the place where they could enter the Underground Facility from.
Tom said as Dane and Kai looked around the hallway, which was clear.
Not many B Rank Hunters would be present on the Ground Floor, apart from those who would be changing their shifts soon.
It was midnight, so most of the staff were already sleeping, apart from the Hunters.
Asher looked at the only entrance to the upper floors, which was the lifts present there. The Central building was full of workshops and items related to the Whiteheart family, so most of the B Rank Hunters were stationed there.
"Should we wait or call the lift?" Dane whispered.
The problem was that there were only 8 minutes left in the timer Tom had given them.
"Call it," Asher said, spreading his mana sense over the building.
"Clear the 3rd Floor," Asher said, and Dane pressed the button.
The lift arrived shortly, and all three of them stepped inside.
On the 3rd Floor,
"Who is using the lift now?" One of the two people standing in the 3rd Floor hallway spoke.
"Did the Team Leader call someone?" He was confused,
"I don't know, we can ask them," the other guard casually replied.
Although the third floor was not restricted, it was rare for the guards to come there, and as it was the time of the shift change, they didn't sense anything weird with it.
Ding!
The lift arrived, and the doors opened.
"It's empty?" They were alerted as they saw the empty lift.
But before reacting to the situation, they felt a hand on their mouths as they felt a syringe penetrating their neck region.
Thud!
Their bodies soon fell to the ground.
Kai looked at the effect of the poison Asher gave them, and he had never seen anything like this before. The effects of the poison lasted around 10 hours, and their consciousness remained intact the whole time.
'Who the hell made this thing?' Even Dane was having similar thoughts.
They wanted to ask, but both of them refrained from doing so as it might be something that was related to the Greville family.
But they didn't know that the drug that Asher had given them was a diluted version of the one he used in his previous life.
"Clear the whole floor," Asher said as Dane and Kai dashed.
It would take them around 4-5 minutes to clear this floor and neutralize everyone present there.
Asher already remembered the blueprint of the building, so he navigated himself through many hallways and arrived at a special room.
Spreading his mana sense, he could sense a presence of a C Rank Hunter drinking inside the room.
It was the room of one of the managers that handled the things inside the Underground facility. Tom had already shared information about such people, and he was Asher's current target.
Knock Knock
"Huh? I told you, bastards, not to disturb me when I am relaxing," the manager shouted annoyedly.
The door creaked open, but the manager squinted his eyes as he saw no one.
"What the hell are you-" He spoke when he felt a stinging pain near his neck.
But his senses were not focused on the pain. Instead, he sensed an immense killing intent from the man behind him.
"Wha-" Before he could make any sense of what was happening to him, he lost all control over his body.
Asher looked at the body of the manager. Then, crouching down, he grabbed him by his collar and dragged him to another room not far from there.
On his way, he could see various guards lying on the floor, unable to move. Some could see that the manager was dragged by something invisible, but they couldn't do anything.
He opened the door, and a huge room with a single door inside it was revealed. As soon as Asher stepped inside the room, a robotic voice resounded inside the room.
Asher grabbed the manager's head and put his eyes near the scanner.
Thud!
After throwing the manager's body aside, Asher saw the dim light around the special door before him shine.
< Access Granted: You can proceed>
Asher looked back, and within five more seconds, Dane and Kai had arrived in the same room as him.
"Was there any issue?" Asher asked, but both of them shook their heads.
Dane's eyes noticed the manager lying there. Seeing that Asher had managed to take down a C Rank Hunter by himself, he was assured Kai could protect him.
Listening to Tom's instruction, Dane brought out a blue-colored chip they needed to insert into the Security System.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
