Chapter 1690  Clue After Clue

Anne left the building in a bad mood, heading to The Daenelis Clan's building. Just like how they had their own building, The Daenelis Clan had their own building. The Daenelis and The Reds were known for their rivalry, so their bases were quite far. One was in the east, and one was in the west. The System was quite careful to put a such thing into consideration as their disguise.

Torben and Prodan followed closely behind her. They knew the Senior Administrator was not in a good mood, so they decided not to say anything. However, both agreed with their captain. It was not their role to interfere with what happened in this world. They were here for a mission, not to uphold justice or protect the innocent.

Anne knew Tang Shaoyang was right, but she could not shake the uneasiness inside her. Walking through the street, they passed the bustling. She saw the street vendors were smiling, and waving as the customers left the vendor. A family with two daughters passed by her, holding snacks in their hands.

Just watching the people around her, was enough to calm her restless heart. As she arrived in front of The Daenelis Clan, the restlessness returned. Realizing those smiles would disappear soon because of the rebellion, making her heart heavy.

She had the power to stop the rebellion because she was a God Rank. But she did not dare to take action without her captain's consent. She felt terrible, but there was nothing she could do.

Releasing out a sigh, she knocked on the door. A servant opened the door and recognized Anne. The servant invited her to the building, and soon the servant led them to meet the Daenelis Clan's captain.

Khaya Daenelis was the name of Daenelis Clan Captain. She was the first Administrator from her clan. She was fortunate to meet a good team and get promoted to Junior Administrator without suffering. Looking at Khaya once more, even Anne had to admire the beauty of Khaya even though she was a woman too.

The reason Torben and Prodan wanted to follow was not just to give The Daenelis Clan respect, but because they wanted to see Khaya one more time up close.

Khaya was not alone, two Senior Administrators and two Junior Administrators from her team welcomed the guests.

"Hah… It's unfortunate but we haven't gotten anything yet from our investigation. It will take time to get the trust from the merchants."

Khaya did not wait for Anne to ask why they were there and shared their investigation. She was ashamed that they failed to get any results.

"I see," Anne nodded understandingly, "What about your position in the war against The Zaren Kingdom and also Duke Amalric's rebellion?"

Since The Royal Family and Duke Amalric came for their team, they must come to The Daenelis Clan as well. The Daenelis Mercenary was known as the second-strongest mercenary corps in the kingdom, after all.

"We declined their offer. We are not supposed to get involved in this world's affairs," Khaya confirmed that The Royal Family and The Duke Amalric came to them as well. Her response was similar to Tang Shaoyang's.

"What about The Reds?"

"We also declined their request. However, we decided to split our team into two. I will follow the army secretly while my captain is staying in the city. He said our target would likely make a move during the rebellion or a war."

Khaya rubbed her chin as it made sense. This group could use the war or rebellion as a cover to summon the void creature. They would make it like the natives summoned the void creature.

She nodded her head, "Do you perhaps need our help? What about if my team follows the army, and your team stays in the city instead of splitting up?"

"Let me ask my captain…" Anne messaged Ira instead of Tang Shaoyang. The former would answer her faster than her captain. Sure enough, she got the reply in less than ten seconds.

"We haven't found any clue regarding our target, so it would be better if you continue your investigation. Leave the army and rebellion matters to us."

Anne left The Daenelis Mercenary after that. She did not immediately return to the base, wandering in the market area where the crowd was.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang restarted his investigation. He excluded the four dukes since he had dug everything from the four dukes. He started from the lowest rank, the barons. The most vulnerable position from the temptation to work together with the foreign force such as the group with void summoning scrolls.

In just a few hours' investigation, Tang Shaoyang found a break in his investigation. While he did not find their target, he found the lead to their target. Surprisingly, their target was not connected to Duke Amalric's rebellion, but the people from the Royal Family's supporters.

Tang Shaoyang moved the remaining two shadows to this specific family, Baron Navares. He had the trio shadows to follow the important figure in the family. It looked easy from the outside, but it was taxing for Tang Shaoyang.

He had to listen to all the meaningless conversations from the people he followed. It was two days away before the army departed to attack the Zaren Kingdom.

His team members were working on the other nobles as well. There might be more people involved in this issue. Despite having a lead that The Navares Family was related to their target, he could not find their target.

He got a few important clues. The scroll needed blood to be activated, meaning a big sacrifice. The bigger the sacrifice, the stronger the void creature summoned. Meaning war was the best place to summon the strong void creature. That explained why their first mission encountered such a weak void creature. The young man could only gather a small sacrifice for the summoning.

When night arrived, the people he watched were going to sleep. That was the time he was free. Gathering his team, he shared what he got from watching the Navares Family.

"There's a possibility our target has contact with Duke Amalric's force as well. The rebellion that will take place in this city is also an ideal place to summon the void creature."

Just like how the battlefield would be a great place to summon the void creature. It was the same for the rebellion.
