Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 251: CHAPTER 251 – Planning.

(One hour after decided to take Clare along with them.)

Alex was not much into planning; he was more of a brute-force guy.

He was smart, and he understood things, but he believed that strength would be able to solve everything.

After all, if you have the strength to overpower your opponents, then no matter what plan they make, they will be under your feet by the end of the fight.

But there are times when the enemy is a bit too slippery, and the mysterious group is like that.

So, this time, they needed to plan things out.

"They must already know about the video."

Ann pointed out the first thing when they started planning.

"Yes, and if their leader is someone with a brain, then he won't attack the guy who recorded the video."

Luna nodded her head and added her point.

They had a chart in front of them.

On that chart, they were writing the things they knew and the things that could happen.

So, when Luna spoke her point, she cut out the 'cameraman' from the list.

"But aren't they known to be very vindictive?"

Alice questioned with a frown.

She was not good at planning, so she wanted to stay out of it, but she still made her point since she felt it was important.

After all, the mysterious group never leaves even a single ant who saw them, alive to be able to tell the tale, so how could they leave the guy who recorded them alive?

"If you see someone stealing 10 credits from someone, and then you see another person robbing a bank, which one would you stop first?"

It was Alex who questioned Alice, and hearing his question, both Ann and Luna nodded their heads.

Clare who was also there decided to remain silent.

Just like Alice, she was only going to point out if she saw some glaring point being missed.

Stay tuned to M V L

"Of course, the bank."

Alice replied with a shrug.

Alex didn't say anything, instead, he nodded at Ann, and she nodded, taking the conversation in her hand.

"So, right now, what do you think they would go for?

A single man who recorded their video, or an entire guild and their archive that might contain a lot of information about them?"

"Huh?"

Alice frowned again.

"Guild?"

She didn't understand where a guild came in from.

"Let me."

Before Ann could defuse Alice's confusion, Luna requested.

Ann nodded her head.

"Alice, what do we find in common in all the cases we find that are related to the mysterious group?"

Luna asked as she made a question mark on the chart.

"Tampered information."

Alice replied instantly.

She had been engaged in this case for so long that these points couldn't be unknown to her.

"Yes, and where do we find those pieces of information from?"

Luna questioned again as she wrote down 'tampered info' right below the question mark.

"From the archive of the slain guilds."

Alice's response was instant, once again.

Luna then smiled as she wrote down 'slain guild' right next to the 'tampered info'.

"Doesn't that mean that every time we find the traces of that group's movement, one organization is massacred?"

Luna questioned with a smile, looking into Alice's eyes, that brightened in realization.

"But there is no guild massacred recently…."

Alice muttered as she started to grasp the situation.

"Yes, so there must be a guild in Yellow Country that still has the information we need, and the fact that the mysterious group will probably attack that guild soon is something we can use to our advantage."

Luna wrote down a guild with a question mark on the chart as she nodded her head.

"We just need to figure out which guild it is, or if it is the association…"

Ann muttered as she stared at the empty chart with a deep look.

Luna started thinking with the same deep look, and silence descended upon the room.

"We can cut out the top power from the list without a problem."

However, the silence was soon broken by Alex's words as he wrote 'Yellow's raider association' and crossed it.

This action caused the girls to look at him questioningly.

"They won't go for someone who already has everything, and the top force of a country has everything, unless there is a force equally stronger to them."

As Alex mentioned that, the girl nodded their heads.

They never thought about it that way, but now that they did, it made sense.

"Then we can cut out the second-ranked force as well."

Luna spoke as she wrote, 'Blue Sawn' and then put a cross across it.

"Why?"

Alex questioned curiously.

He never really focused on other Countries' affairs, so he didn't know much about them, but Luna and Ann did, so Ann also nodded her head at Luna's decision.

"The Guild leader of the Blue Swan Guild and the Guild master of the Yellow Country's raider association are a happily married couple with two sweet children."

Luna replied to Alex's question but when he saw him frown, she quickly added another line.

"And before you say something, they are not in any kind of fight, nor is there any kind of hidden tension between them."

"I see."

Alex nodded his head at her words.

"But how are you sure about it?"

However, Alex still asked Luna a question.

Luna stared at Alex for a while.

She contemplated whether she should hide it or not.

"I run a secret organization that gathers this kind of information."

In the end, she decided to stay honest.

"Oh, that's new…"

Alex raised a brow at her words and dropped the topic after that.

"I need more details about that organization of yours."

Ann, however, didn't take Luna's words lightly.

She knew that an organization that could get this kind of information must not be ignored.

"After we are done with this?"

Luna replied with a question.

"Un."

Ann nodded her head before they all turned back toward shorting out the guild's name.

"What about the third-ranked guild?"

Alice questioned, making them all focus on the topic at hand.

"They are most likely the ones we are looking for."

This time again, it was Luna who spoke.

No one said anything, they just looked at Luna with a look that was clearing asking her to elaborate on her point.

"There had been a lot of missing cases in their area, at first, I just ignored them since it was never our headache, but after seeing the video, it was not hard to link them to the case."

Luna revealed the reason behind her words.

The video showed the members of the mysterious group carrying live bodies, and according to the guy, that happened daily, so the dots were easy to connect.

"Then why did you not say that from the start??"

Alice asked in an annoyed tone.

If Luna already knew that, then they wouldn't have to waste their time thinking about who it could be.

"I don't remember everything by heart, ok?

When the guild was mentioned, the memory of the records of missing people surfaced in my mind automatically…."

Luna defended herself.

"Eat almonds, at least you will have a better functioning brain."

Alice snorted.

"Says the one who can't even do the duties of a guild master perfectly."

Luna retorted as well.

Just like that, both of them started bickering with each other.

Alex and Ann shared a glance, but in the end, they just shook their heads with a light smile.

It was refreshing, looking at both of them bickering like a child after they used their brains to figure out the most complicated thing in this case.
