Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang sighed as he caught sight of Darcx. He turned around to look at Theseus and said, “Theseus, you will follow Instructor Yuu, check into the hotel and stay put till the competition begins, I will be back in time before you all go through the tests. Second, make sure that none of you is left behind, follow the unit code, and stick together. This bustling city is no less than a forest with many snakes lurking in the dark.”

Theseus caught a hint of warning in his words and nodded, then he relayed the message to the class and they all followed Instructor Yuu. After the crowd of students moved out of earshot, Shi Lang snapped his fingers and signaled Darcx to come over. The latter walked over and said, “Long time no see, Boss.”

Shi Lang did not say much and directly asked, “Have you become so useless that you cannot find the enemy inside our house?”

Darcx was deflated and said, “Boss, you do not know how cunning this person is, he never surfaces, and all the raids that we conduct on the human trafficking division turn up empty. I cannot help but think that we have a mole among us.”

Shi Lang crossed his arms and nodded, “It is indeed quite possible, or this person has a clairvoyant ability.”

Darcx nodded and said, “We did think around that line, and investigated the people registered with this ability however none of those people are located in Elton City. They do not have any ties with shady business at all and are all posted on different planets, serving the military.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “The military is too controlling of this ability, I will look into this.”

Darcx nodded and said, “So what shall we do?”

Shi Lang said, “Find a secluded place, who knows if someone is keeping an eye on us. Let’s do it in my room at the hotel.”

Darcx nodded and the two of them moved. Shi Lang did this to avoid suspicion from the people watching in secret. He could sense people looking at him, but even after looking at the scene with his spiritual sense, he could not find a single set of eyes that was focused in their direction. Thus he decided to move to the room.

The two people acted like old friends and talked about all sorts of things from the past. The syndicate was strong but not strong enough to find out the origin of the two people. They reached the hotel room and checked in quickly. They got inside the room and searched the place for bugs. They found several bugs, so Shi Lang used his communicator and sent a text to all his students to scan their rooms without missing an inch.

He did not want his students to suffer from detection. After the bugs were recovered he did not destroy them and have them placed inside an isolation formation array. This way the enemy will not be alerted that he has been found out.

Darcx saw this situation and said, “Boss, you sure are generous towards your students.”

Shi Lang looked at him and said, “They do not act like a crybaby when I put them through training.”

Darcx’s lips twitched from the corner as he said, “You have changed, Boss.”

Shi Lang brushed it all off and said, “I want a list of all the registered ability users in this city.”

“That could number in thousands,” said Darcx.

Shi Lang said, “I do not care. Just get me the data. Or do I need to call your director?”

Darcx sighed and surrendered to his fate, “Yes, Boss, I will get you the data as soon as possible.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Arrange a remote set up in this room. I want a surveillance network set up.”

Darcx shook his head, “Not possible, the people in the surveillance bureau are afraid of the people in the syndicate.”

Shi Lang asked, “What do you mean?”

Darcx shrugged and said, “A few months ago when we tried to investigate, a few officers supported us, however, when the teams retreated, the syndicate assassinated the families of the officers and made them watch the scenes for days before the officers committed suicide.”

Shi Lang was shocked, he did not expect the power of the syndicate to be this strong, and even government officers were not spared. Who could be the mastermind behind this? Shi Lang stood up from his seat and began to move around the room. He furrowed his brows tight, this character was proving to be a tough opponent.

He did not know what to do. Suddenly a thought clicked to him and then he said, “What was the economic status of this city before the syndicate surfaced?”

Darcx was surprised and said, “Boss, this city was popular but the economy was normal before the syndicate.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Let me guess, the business boomed after the unauthorized fighting arenas?”

Darcx nodded and Shi Lang said, “Find out where the first arena opened and who was the person behind it.”

Darcx nodded and got to work. Shi Lang started to investigate all the plausible ends that he could find. The young man jumped into the quagmire without any hesitation. To be safe he told Amelia to not leave the family unguarded and always wear defensive shield equipment.

He looked at Darcx working up a sweat and said, “Did you not get married?”

Darcx almost fell and said, “Boss, can you not give me a scare, I am still young, okay.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Since this guy is so cruel that he does not mind killing children and women, help me find out about people who have an emotional scar toward their families. At the same time, call over extra hands. We are short on manpower, though make sure that all these people are fresh faces and cover their tracks perfectly.”

Darcx nodded and said, “Boss, we have three ways to follow.”

Shi Lang sat down and gazed at the ceiling as he said, “I want to see, who is this fucker.” freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
