Chapter 138 Dragon Hall's Preparation
On an elevated circular platform, Mike and Busca are sparring.
Busca jumped to the air, a magic circle flashed on his right arm, an earthen glove covered his right fist, and then he charged down to Mike.
Boom! He hit the floor where Mike was standing.
Mike covered his fists with fire, then he dashed to Busca. He struck his fist at Busca's head.
Busca also struck his right fist while casting magic to cover his left fist with an earthen glove.
Boom! The clash of their fists created a little shockwave, and then they kept exchanging blows at close range.
On another platform, Gan and Gin are also sparring. Gan is wearing a metal glove with sharp fingernails. Gin is holding daggers that became shadow blades.
Oswal and Eric are also training. Their bodies are flashing with lightning. They are moving fast on the platform. Oswal is holding a hammer, while Eric is holding a spear. Both the spear and hammer are clad with lightning.
Oswal dashed forward and swung his hammer. Eric jumped and charged from the air.
Oswal put more lightning elements on his hammer, then smashed his hammer at the spear.
Bang! The hammer blocked the spear, and Eric felt his hands tremble and hurt.
"Tsk! No one of the dragon guards is a pushover. Even that clumsy girl is deadly. A hyperbeing that is not clad with aura is very vulnerable to her," thought Eric.
Not too far from the platforms, Emily is also practicing.
She is running as she rapidly fires her arrows.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The arrows are deeply embedded in earthen pillars made with magic.
There is one earth pillar remaining. Emily aims the bow. Threads of wind element rotate on the arrow, and a magic circle appears in front of the bow.
Emily shot the arrow.
A small tornado surrounded the arrow.
Bang! The top of the earth pillar is destroyed.
A beautiful, mature lady approaches the training ground.
"Everyone, food is ready," said Mari.
"I-I'm coming, Mar- Ahh!" Mike's left cheek is hit by Busca.
"Idiot! It's your own fault! How can you look away when there is an incoming fist? Let it be treated by the boss!" shouted Busca.
The headquarters became more lively because of the arrival of more ladies. The happiest are Emily and Mike.
One day later, Edgar is walking to the monitoring room. He calls it the Dragon's Eye. It will be the eyes of the team. Oscar hasn't finished the AI yet, but his burning spirit has not diminished. He sleeps on the sofa in the monitoring room to rest, then continues his work after resting. He is determined to finish the AI.
His body fat has decreased. Even with the potion that Edgar gave, only a small amount was removed. No aura technique can be used by him because it is difficult for him to follow rhythmic movement and breathing.
Edgar looks at the codes on the screens floating over the hologram.
"How is it?" Edgar asked Oscar.
"Boss, I already have access to CIU's network. I am currently entering the network of PBI. Gin is really good. I don't know whose computer he put our trojan on, but I am easily entering the network," said Oscar.
Edgar nodded when he heard Oscar. It will be difficult for him to invade the headquarters of the Philippines Police Force and the Philippines Bureau of Investigation to inject a virus and access their network because there are strong aura masters and magicians that always guard them.
"Success!" said Oscar. The screens show the files saved on the PBI network. Oscar copied the files, left the Trojan, and then erased his traces. The trojan will be activated again once he needs to copy the files. The trojan is deeply hidden.
"Send a message to Gin that we succeeded and send me the files," said Edgar.
"Yes, boss!" Oscar sent the files that he copied from CIU and PBI.
Edgar received the files, went to a meeting room, and then turned on the hologram screen. He opened the files, and then many screens float over the hologram screens.
He touches his chin as he looks at the information.
"The trafficking of women and the smuggling of magic materials. There are guilds and prominent families that are definitely involved, but why are they not having conflict? They are involved in the same illegal business, so it is inevitable that some might touch their interest, but the gangs that are doing the deed for them are peaceful.
With their shady characters, they should have ways to make trouble for their competitor. They can even use the government's force. They just need to present evidence. The information here is not enough to make a warrant or raid, so the government's arms are tied, but they can use powerful force when enough evidence is presented. Did they reach agreements or is someone very powerful commanding them?" thought Edgar.
Edgar returned to the monitoring room.
Oscar is eating chips as he watches the screen.
"H-How can your skill improve so much? D-damn, is my title game king going to be taken away?" said Fatso with a dramatic voice. He is wearing an earpiece.
There is a big floating screen over the hologram. Two game characters are fighting. One is controlled by the wife of Gan, while the other is actually being controlled by Polaris.
To ease his relationship with Gan, Oscar made a plan: play with Gan's wife, be humble and slowly get defeated, let her take the title, and become the Game Queen. The title no longer matters to him.
Edgar smiles at the cunningness of Oscar.
Oscar noticed Edgar, then turned off the mic.
"How's the investigation that I told you about high-ranking officers?" Edgar asked.
"Boss, I already selected our targets. They are involve in many illegal activities, and they help cover up their family. Boss, I've been monitoring their family. They are not innocent. If those guilds take revenge, that will serve as their punishment," said Oscar.
"We must send their family away to make it more convincing for their roles, but we will leave some traces that are difficult to investigate. If those guilds do not seriously pursue them, then they are lucky," said Edgar.
Edgar looks at the screen that shows the image of their targets.
"Let's start the operation of Dragon Hall."
