Chapter 327  327:Tracking And Hunting

A few hours ago….

"Haaa!Why do I have to do such disgusting missions of acting as a bitch and seducing those bastards."

[That's because you are a bitch.."

"Huh!"Her body froze and she looked around.

She felt as if someone was cursing her.

She looked around and saw a few individuals but he found none near her

Shaking her head, she began cursing…

"Those perverts…I wish I could gauge their eyes and cut their dicks…..if only they knew my true self they might really piss and wet their pants."

Late into the night, with the moon hiding behind the clouds, Sharen, a high-ranking member of black demons, had just exited the underground auction house.

She had sneaked in to find an item.

She used seduction but the person just wanted to eat her to the point she decided this guy should just die.

Unfortunately, she couldn't take action because of strong individuals inside the auction house and then she was chased by a group of perverts that made her lose the target.

 The thing was taken away by a bastard so she sent a signal to attack the bastard.

As she walked out, done with her mission she couldn't help but drown in the thoughts of recent events.

She found herself mumbling to herself as she wandered the nighttime streets of the Hubris Alley of Sector 3.

"I don't know why we were given the order to attack. Thankfully, I was asked to hold out rather than go there and get butchered."

However, from the words of the boss, it seems he had encountered an anomaly.

Something or someone had forced him to act this way.

They, who had been covertly operating here for over ten years, and knew all the details of sector 3, had no record of someone so outstanding.

Moreover, people can sense the darkness emitting from them but it was quite common as many humans had a darkness element due to awakening Darkness attributed to Martial spirit.

There is Shadow Archer and Silent Reaper, two of the fiercest human attackers that can take your lives at any moment.

You won't even be able to sense them despite them standing beside you. They were the only two who could detect them hiding still it was a wager.

Now, it seems there was another one.

If he hadn't shown up on their radar, it implied he either had not been active at all or held enough influence to avoid detection.

Naturally, the latter seemed improbable, so she guessed the former.

She was annoyed.

"Hey, stop loitering, and let's finish our tasks."She spoke, sensing a figure nearby.

From his eyes that seemed to look down on Sharen herself to his cold, emotionless voice.

"Should we kill that guy and steal that item?"

A sharp voice echoed from the emptiness beside her.

"No need."

Sharen replied calmly, as if she had expected the question.

"Because he won't be around after today."

Before long, a spark of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Understood. Then, will you head straight to the branch?"

"Not yet. I have something to take care of first. Go and help them."

Ordering them she went to her next destination.

Responding to the subsequent voice, Sharen, who had already entered the slums on the outskirts of Sector 3, looked forward as she lowered her gaze.

However, just as she entered the darkness, many pairs of greenish emerged from the darkness, and before she knew it, she was hit.

...…

Soon, about half a dozen rough-looking men began to emerge from the shadows that were following and left to join with other tea.

"Did you make too much of a mess? Did the explosion blast our identity?"A woman from the group asked as reached the spot.

A man, his face marred by an array of scars, questioned, staring at the wrecked and flaming spot that was a few blocks away.

"That's why I told you to control your power. You fool, Jeff! We hadn't even completely cleared the outskirts, what if you had fired then?"

A woman, her body strong and skin black, scolded him as she neared.

"No, the timing was perfect. If we had waited any longer, there might've been witnesses!"

In reply, Jeff frowned and defended himself.

"Drop it, it's not like this is his first time messing up."

Around a dozen people emerged behind him.

They were part of a special unit from Black demons.

While they were called a special task force, their duties mostly revolved around clean-up.

But their skills were some of the best within their branch.

It was challenging to take on such special tasks without substantial power.

"Enough, let's find the thing fast and leave. I can't stand the smell of burnt flesh."

This man appeared to be the leader of the task force.

At Jeff's words, two of the team members chuckled and moved toward the ruined magical car.

"Huh?"

Confusion soon filled the eyes of those sifting through the debris.

"Captain, there's nobody?"

"What?"

"There are no bone fragments either."

At the troop member's words, Jeff's eyes filled with disbelief.

Even if the car was destroyed by the impact, some remains of the passengers should have been left.

But if there was nothing...

Just then.

"There's nothing to see."

A lazy voice sounded from behind.

As the troop members turned toward the voice,

Swoosh!

The head of one member at the back simply vanished.

"He never got hit in the first place."

Behind the falling soldier, a man slowly materialized.

It was an obscure figure wearing a floating cloak.

From the darkness covering the faces, everyone spotted a pair of golden reptilian eyes that shook their heart to the core.

A sense of palpation was drawn upon them.

"What, he survived? This guy had a trick, didn't he?"

"Bastard, you think you are a hot shot, right?''

Saying this a black demon suddenly shot at the figure who instead of moving, just stared at the black demon.

Just then…

Swish!

They seemed to collapse and the black accelerating collapsed onto the floor with a frightening cry of bewilderment…

"What?"

Jeff looked at the figure with a surprised expression.

"Who are you? You aren't the target."

His tone showed no anger over the loss of a team member.

"I never said, I was…"The man muttered, pulling off his hooded cloak that exposed a young boyish startling everyone.

"A boy.."

The man didn't respond to Jeff's words and glanced at the nearby building.

Inside were a man and the driver, whom he had protected before the car was destroyed.

From the system, he came to know that they were hiding in Sector 3 but the exact location was quite costly and it would also kill the fun of his hunt.

For a hunter, tracking and cornering the prey was a different type of joy.

So, after informing Argent, he came here and started searching.

As usual, if you are looking for a heinous group hideout, what is the best place to look for?

And as always the answer was none other than slums, alleys, and the black market.

So as expected on following the trail, he reached the destined place or destined beings he was looking for.

He found that the group was moving to assassinate a guy so he carefully knocked them down and replaced them with his shadows and Hella cast an illusion on them to make them appear as human.

And he has to say, Hella was becoming formidable so were her feelings alas…

"Boy, you are naive to wander around aimlessly."

Jeff grinned at Leon and spoke again.

Despite already losing a team member, his voice was full of confidence.

A demeanor that signaled he could kill Leon at any moment.

"You sure talk a lot for someone who won't do as he says, "Leon chuckled in response.

For them, it would be much more straightforward and cleaner to kill Leon himself.

There was no reason for them to keep him alive and deal with potential repercussions.

"Huh? Did you read my mind? How did you know I won't?"

Jeff shrugged playfully at Leon's words.

Then he lifted a hand and flicked his finger lightly.

Bright light burst from the waists of the remaining troops, forming a barrier wide enough to envelop all of them, including Leon.

Leon regarded the barrier encasing him with interest.

He felt that Qi supporting him slowly disappeared.

The space was now devoid of qi.

But instead of worry, it amused him more.

'Interesting!'

"You've come prepared," Leon asked.

"Oh, you recognize it? It's a sound and qi blocking barrier. We're a little apprehensive of others knowing our identity. It wasn't meant for but I can feel that you are dangerous so…"

Jeff, more careful than he appeared, had set up a barrier to impede Leo.

 He grinned and signaled to his troops.

Leon, who had been silently observing the barrier, and Jeff, finally responded.

"Don't hold a grudge. It's just the natural order of things. Consider yourself unfortunate."

As if those words were a command.

Whoosh!

Jeff's troops lunged at Leon.
