Chapter 133: City of Clans.
Naturally, for this mission, Matt had changed his name.
From today until the end of this mission, he would be called 'Carl Wright'. His identity was that of a nephew of Ercison Lewis' wife, Leonie Wright.
Not only had that changed, but he now wore a mask that only changed his physique and made him look as if he were someone else. Although it was uncomfortable, he would only wear it in front of people.
This identity he was given is pretty cool. After all, they made him one of the sons of one of Leonie's brothers, one of the leaders of the Wright Family.
This family is immensely wealthy and is one of the main Families of the Blacksmith Kingdom of Braum. They work with wood craftsmanship.
However, it is not as if he could use this identity to receive riches from 'his family'. It was just a trick so that no one would suspect him.
The real Carl Wright was hiding right now, so it was an excellent time to use his identity.
Matt greeted them as well. "Uncle, Aunt, it's been quite a while since the last time." He said respectfully.
Ericson then smiled and invited him in.
To enter this city, he needed to go through a lengthy background check procedure, and that the person receiving him had permission.
That was the same even for Ericson, one of the highest-ranking men in the Kingdom.
So, Matt had to go through a lengthy procedure, but everything went smoothly.
The streets of Clan City are pretty scary, as no one is walking around. Though Matt called them 'the best streets he'd ever walked on.'
The quietness they exuded, with no noise or anything similar, felt too good for him.
A while later, those who had come out to greet him led him inside Ericson Mansion.
'The buildings in the City of Clans certainly are grand. There's not much to say about them. The nobles love giant things.' He thought.
The mansion had all sorts of amenities, though they were hardly used. To say it was large would be an understatement.
Once inside, he was shown to his room. They also prepared some people to help him dress to look as close as possible to a real nobleman.
All the clothes Matt brought were given to him by the Kingdom and were the clothes of the highest level.
He chose a black suit with small golden decorations, a black cloak on the outside and red on the inside, black shoes, and gloves of the same color on his hands.
The black color with the golden decorations made him look like a high-level nobleman.
'Not bad.' Matt thought, smiling slightly.
For him, elegance contained the most excellent assassination tactics he could use, so choosing this type of clothing was the right choice.
After that, he left the room and walked to where he had been told, one of the basement floors of the enormous mansion.
When Matt arrived in a massive room with red decorations and large chandeliers on the ceiling, many of those present greeted him with respect.
"Greetings, General!"
That included 2 Army generals.
Reagan Cooper and Ericson Lewis gave him a military salute of equal standing.
Although Matt was not on equal footing with them in this Kingdom, his status worldwide was so high that it made them feel on equal footing.
Matt nodded and returned their salute.
"Show me the clues explained on the map of this city, and then I can get to work. You don't need to beat around the bush." Matt said, and Ericson Lewis and Reagan Cooper nodded.
They then turned on a small device to transmit images on the wall and began explaining various things to Matt.
"These four houses are the ones that are in our eyes. Philip Baker: We were able to confirm that his brothers are with him there at the moment. In the opposite position is the mansion of the Marquis of Campbell. With him, you must be extremely careful; that man is not easy. Also, the Campbells and the Whites are allied.
On several occasions, we have seen some Whites in that mansion, so you have to go carefully."
The images showed the different investigation targets and the explanation they were giving him; they were trying to make it so he was aware of those guys' strengths.
They also showed the movements they had made in the last two years.
'The Whites of Caspian... If I'm not mistaken, that family has an incredibly high status. Plus, the fact that Caspian White is a subordinate of 'that' woman and his older sister also, elevates the status of those guys.' Matt thought and looked at the different images he was shown.
"Wait." He said suddenly.
The person passing the images stopped and looked at him doubtfully.
Matt then requested the device and started to scroll back through the images.
Among those images, next to the Marquis de Campbell was a person known to him.
Not only to him, many people knew him.
Still, several presents perhaps ignored him because he was barely a student.
"A Becker?" he said, causing several of them to look doubtfully at the screen.
Reagan Cooper came a little closer then and frowned, "Isn't that the student Becker, who is well known as 'Mr. Becker'?" He asked, and Matt nodded.
"Do the Beckers have a presence in the City of Clans?" he asked. Ericson Lewis looked at his wife, and she shook her head.
"The Vampire Clans don't have a very good friendship with the City of Clans, so they shouldn't." She replied, and Matt nodded.
'Students were in that organization and this guy meets with the Marquis of Campbell himself... Also, he has a good friendship with Caspian White, who uses the poison of that organization...' He thought and smiled slightly.
"Put that guy among the targets. Also, investigate what name he uses to get in here." He said and passed the image again.
"What is that place? It's been visited by those guys on several occasions." Matt pointed to a large building after asking that question.
The building was large in width and length, but in height, it was only about three or four stories high. Even so, it was very well decorated, with beautiful chandeliers. It looked like a theater of the nobility in the olden days of the earth.
"It's a Nobility Club, headed by the Marquis de Campbell. They usually have parties there, so it's normal to see them there from time to time. Even so, to enter the control is very strict and only people of the nobility who are very close friends of Campbell could enter. We have confirmed that it is a Club where they meet for occasional fun." Ericson Lewis replied.
Matt then nodded and continued to look at the rest of the pictures, asking for explanations and trying to imprint them in his mind.
Later, they were handed several more things that served as clues, making the meeting go on for a long while.
Until they finally finished.
'Looks like it's time for me to start moving.' Matt thought as he walked out of the mansion.
