Chapter 158: The Mastermind

"I believe you, boss!"

Darren shouted from behind with no hesitation and he ran up the pair with his drones flying around him. He was still wearing his black glasses, and he took them off and handed them to Henry while talking.

"My drones were still working in the fog, and I was able to catch footage of the instructor when she was moving through it! She attacked the drone and almost destroyed it!"

Henry still had a massive frown on her face, but she eventually took the glasses and put them on to watch the footage. Jason turned away from the pair of them as he saw a tab open in front of him.

The wolves had finally killed Ricardo, and Jason used the [Eye of the King] to see that they were dragging the dead body back to where Jason and the others were. Jason switched his perception to Fenrir and the other wolves, and he saw that they were absolutely tearing through the Red Gate! Fenrir was a Rook Rank I Magic Beast with enough power to take on an A Rank, and all the beasts that were working under Fenrir had enough defenses and strength to handle most B Ranks. So the Magic Beasts in the Red Gate didn’t stand a single chance against them!

Jason caught sight of some of the other test takers and saw that they were all returning to the Gate entrance so that they could leave back to the real world. They must’ve been scared off by Ragnar’s appearance.

’That’s good. I wouldn’t want them getting in my way.’

Jason told Fenrir and the others to hurry up before he turned off his skill and focused back on his surroundings. He saw Henry looking away with a contemplative look on her face, and he knew that she had finally agreed that the siblings were responsible for the attack.

The wolves that killed Ricardo dragged him into the clearing where Jason was waiting, and Jason reached out and patted them on the head after they dropped him beside his dead sister. Jason turned to Darren and Henry and told them that they had to go.

"The wolves will lead you back to the exit. So just follow them."

Darren was immediately against it!

"I want to stay, boss! I promise I won’t say anything about what I see! I promise!"

Jason narrowed his eyes seriously, but Darren stood his ground without budging! Darren wanted to be a part of this no matter what! Jason turned to Henry, and Henry turned away for a moment before turning back to Jason.

"A-As long as you keep my secret, I’ll keep yours."

Darren tilted his head to one side and spoke curiously.

"What secret?"

Henry’s face flushed slightly as she gave Jason a harder look, and Jason finally nodded to both of them. Jason already knew that keeping his abilities a secret wasn’t that helpful anymore, especially since there were organizations out there that knew him more than he knew them, so he wasn’t that worried about getting exposed.

Jason reached out to the two dead bodies before spreading his mana to them and calling out.

"Resurrect."

DOON!

Both Darren and Henry took steps back in shock when they felt the intense mana that surged through the air, but once they saw what was happening to the twins, they couldn’t help the screams that tore out from their mouths! Darren fell to his ass in shock, and Henry took many steps back with her eyes widened! What the hell!?

"G-Ghost! They’re Ghosts!"

Darren was a moment away from running, but one of Jason’s wolves went to stand behind him and made sure he couldn’t go anywhere.

Jason released a small sigh as he looked at the two subordinates in front of him. Rosa had been resurrected with her arm back in place, and she was holding a replica of the short dagger that she had attacked him with. Ricardo no longer had the injuries he got from the wolf attack, and he stood with a confident look on his face.

Jason leaned against his sword and spoke to the siblings while one of his wolves started to ransack their bodies for artifacts and Magic Crystals.

’Tell me everything you know about who’s behind this attack.’

Ricardo stepped forward and he began to speak directly into Jason’s mind. Ricardo’s explanation wasn’t as complete as Jason hoped it would be. According to what he knew, Ricardo and Rosa had been hired by the Director of the SMD branch in Riverdale, Millicent, to kill Jason in the Gate. They didn’t need to be discreet about it since there had been many incidents of people being killed in Gates, so it would easily be swept under a rock.

They weren’t exactly sure who it was that had instructed Millicent to hire them, but from the rumor mills in the criminal underworld, they were able to discover that this wasn’t the first time that an incident like this had happened. Over the past ten years, there have been multiple cases of new awakeners getting killed in their assessment. Once more, it wouldn’t have drawn any attention since it was not unexpected, but the reason why these killings were more interesting was because all the superhumans who died were just too promising.

People who awakened as C Ranks or high D Ranks, as well as those who awakened abilities that people thought would make them one of the strongest in the world, ended up being killed on their very first assessment! It was a very strange occurrence, and both siblings knew there was more to this than what they were seeing.

The siblings went deeper into the entire conspiracy, and they found that there was a link between Millicent from the SMD and one of the Vice Captains of the BloodRaven guild in Greenville. The moment they found that connection, they immediately pulled back and stopped trying to find out more. If there was one thing that every criminal knew, it was that they should never try to get involved in the business of people more powerful than them.

Jason’s eyes narrowed when he read all this. So Millicent was really involved in this, and this wasn’t the first time that she was doing it. They had killed many other superhumans before him. A surge of anger rose from inside Jason when he realized how deep this rabbit hole went, and he decided at that moment that he was going to find out exactly who it was that Millicent was working for.

’A vice-captain of the BloodRaves. From what I heard most big guilds have multiple vice captains, so it could be any of them.’

Ding!

A notification sound rang in Jason’s ear, and the system brought up a new tab.
