Chapter 167 The Struggles Of Our World

[Charles POV]

The search for Constance was still a no-go. Earth simply didn't have the artifacts to search for people on a different plane. And my tracking only worked for people within the distance of my range.

Should I go back to the hub now? Before I could go back, Felicia gave me another call. She must have news if she had called me now.

"Do you have any information relating to Constance?"

"There may be some correlation to her."

Hearing what she said, I wanted to urge her. But doing that won't do me any good. I let Felicia speak what she needed to say.

"Recently, people all over the world have gone missing. People within the thousand rankings are disappearing left and right. We need you to check the potential targets."

"The case of this disappearance is essential to the world. Could you do this for us?"

If that were the case, this would be easier than I thought. This mysterious kidnapper would taste my full fury.

"Then send me all of the people that could be kidnapped potentially. Give me the information that is needed."

After getting everything from Felicia, I end the call. Looking at the list, only five of them were listed. All of them were humans that lived in a different part of the previous Earth.

Since Felicia had given me their address, I immediately found four of my targets. One was missing, or the person wasn't at home yet.

Tracking the four people, I had to search for every minute of them simultaneously. It felt weird spectating their hobbies, but what else could I do?

"Charles... What are you doing?"

From Rose's perspective, I must be staring at the roof. I was lying down on my bed, checking for a potential kidnapping.

"I was tasked to check up on five people. This case could help with Constance's disappearance."

Rose didn't say anything and had her body leaning on me. I continued to watch everyone seeing if I could find something out.

Now that I think about it, can't people use a video camera to record them? Why do I have to do this?

"Rose, I'm going out for a bit."

Before I could hear an answer, I left the house. Instead of slaving my time, I brought five mini recorders and put them to the four targets.

As for the fifth person, he might be already gone. But that shouldn't be the case if Felicia had been the one who handed me these files. They should also have tabs on their location.

Now that I had a camera on them all, if they happened to disappear. Then the recording will be saved to my computer, and the culprit will be mine.

"Felicia."

This time it was my turn to call her. I wanted some additional information for people all over the world.

"Did you find something?"

Even if it hadn't been long since Felicia had called, I could see how tired she was. Working in many fields would quickly lead to exhaustion. I'm glad that wasn't me. Being the nice guy I was, I secretly sent her some energy so she could recover.

"Get me everyone's profile that has skills relating to death itself. We can narrow our target that way."

Since I gave her something, she had to do something in return. Felicia had already gotten an idea of what I was going to plan. I had already told her the details of my investigation at the abandoned base.

"That's the problem. No human on Earth has that ability. Unless you were to ask the people of Winar and Necropolis, they might have something to do with it."

"Then set me up with each leader of each world. I'm going to talk to them in person."

Felicia sighed as I commanded her. Even though she didn't have to, as I could storm in uninvited, I made Felicia do more work. I still haven't forgotten about her trying to poison me. She was already lucky that I didn't curse her.

Since I didn't need her, I first went to where Gram lived. He still led one of the largest groups, even if he didn't have as much authority as he would like.

"Long time no see Gram."

I said in the most sinister tone I could think of. Looking at him, I felt his spine tingle. I had only done it for the jokes of it, but he looked like he was pissing his pants.

"You okay?"

It was awkward that he was leaking. Before we continued our conversation, I left him alone so he could change. When he returned, he shamelessly shrugged it off as if nothing had happened.

"So what brought you here?"

Seeing him try to talk politely was weird. But that is what fear brings into people.

"Do you know anyone that has a skill relating to death? Or an artifact that has that element?"

Gram had seriously heard what I wanted. He carefully thought it through his head. I didn't think it would be that hard to remember anyone with any skill with that.

"There is one person. But he's part of the Mystic Wolf tribe. You will have to talk to their chief about it."

From Gram's expression, he wanted me to leave immediately. I had already got what I wanted, but I needed to ask one more thing before leaving.

"Then where are they located?"

I haven't seen their base. So having no lead to where they were, it would be hard for me to find them. Gram should know where the Mystic Wolf tribe was, so I asked him for directions.

"Keep going straight left, and you will find them in hours."

Confirming whether it was true, I used my ability to seek where they were. Once I found them, it was time for me to leave.

Since the last time I was in this village, they got a new makeover. Earth's influence was both great and bad. Now that they had seen what we had, they had extensively upgraded their place. I noticed some of their people had left the town, probably living elsewhere.

Leaving the place, I went to a forest where the wolf resides.
