Conquering The Game's World

After beating them until they were in no position to resist, Luis tied them with his Lightning Whip and scanned their bodies. Sure enough, he found the Curse Mark in the same location as the kidnappers. He grabbed their necks and within a few seconds lifted that Curse Mark. Since he already had experience in removing it. This time, it didn't take him long.

"Now, I want you to answer my questions, otherwise the beating will continue," Luis said with a dashing smile.

*GRRR*

The bear-man growled like an injured beast. On the other hand, the human was already terrified.

"No, don't. I can't give you any answers. Don't beat me."

Luis said with a neutral expression. "If you are worried about the Curse Mark. I've already removed it."

They were both surprised when they heard Luis' words. The bear-man was quiet, but the human was excited. "For real?! That means we won't die?"

Luis stared at them with a plain expression and said, "Maybe, but if you don't answer or lie. Then there will be a torturous death awaiting you."

The human shuddered. As he felt the pain all over his body, he knew what Luis said was the truth. If he hides things now, his end would be much worse. Scared out of his wits, he didn't hesitate to answer all of Luis' questions. While the interrogation was ongoing, Luis' performance satisfied Olivia, who was watching from the side.

'Now that he got the information about the kids. We just have to wait and see if they can make it in time. Well, there's still around 45 minutes left. They shouldn't have any problem with the rescue. After this is over, I should probably treat Hena and thank her.' ***

By the time the interrogation was almost complete. Alica, along with Diana and Mira, arrived at the location.

"Luis!" Diana called out while observing the bear-man with disgust.

Luis turned to look at them and said, "You guys are here just in time!"

"Did you get the information out of them?" Alicia asked while looking over at the agents who came to pick up the kidnapped kids.

"Yeah, I did."

Luis nodded, then before they could ask anything, he said. "Let's go back to Gusto Town first. I'll explain on the way."

They nodded in understanding while Mira started her hover car.

Before hopping in, Luis said. "Professor, I'll leave them and the hover truck to you. Please drive it back to the town. As you know, there are still kids inside the truck, and they should require medical assistance."

With those words, Luis sat inside the hover car and, not wasting any second, Mira drove her hover car at high speed towards Gusto Town.

After they left, Olivia appeared near the unconscious kidnappers.

"Well, I guess this much shouldn't count as them asking for help with the mission."

While she was throwing the kidnappers inside the truck. The bear-man, who was still conscious, felt his mana bracelet vibrate. He was receiving a call, and he had already guessed in his mind about who was calling him at this time.

'I must inform them, somehow.' Thinking so, his eyes glinted and gritting his teeth, he slammed his body on the ground, smashing his mana bracelet until it was broken. 'I just hope they understood my signal.'

"Hey, why are you injuring yourself? Wasn't the beating enough?" his human partner asked.

The bear-man ignored him and as he saw Olivia coming in his direction. He sneered in his mind. 'Want to save those kids? Let's see how you do that. It will be too late until you reach there.'

Olivia first gave a slight neck chop to his partner, making him unconscious. Then looked at him, showing a wide grin.

The bear-man couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart, and he was right when he heard Olivia's mocking words.

"Did they receive your signal?"

"H-How?!" His eyes widened in horror, and he was in disbelief. 'No way! I was sure she wasn't looking at me!'

Olivia felt amused when she saw his expression and said with a chuckle. "No need to be surprised. There is no way your actions can be secretive in front of an S-Rank."

"S-Rank!" The bear-man was stunned. Then, a moment later, he lowered his head with a sigh. "Guess we were meant to fail from the beginning."

"That you were." Olivia nodded and did not bother to continue the conversation, chopping the back of his neck, she made him unconscious.

"Hmm, should I tell Luis and the others or not?" She pondered.

"Well, there's no point, since they are already hurrying over. It doesn't make much of a difference."

Although she gave herself a reason. It was just an excuse for her since she wanted to see them asking for her help.

Absorbed in her dark thoughts, Olivia didn't notice that on the shirt of the human agent. Luis attached a button drone on top of his shirt's button, and it recorded everything. Not even her S-rank senses could detect that inconspicuous button drone.

Inside Mira's hover car, Luis was briefing them on the situation and the information he extracted.

"… To summarize everything. There is one last location left among their pickup points that we haven't rescued, and they have already delivered all the other children to Pharmos City?" Alicia asked.

"Yes." Luis nodded and said, "They are taking the sea route and will be trafficking the kids using a medium-sized cargo ship before dawn."

As soon as he stated that, Lily's voice sounded. {Master, see this video.}

Luis furrowed his brows as Lily turned on his mana bracelet and started playing a video from the drone he had left in case of emergency. 'Did something happen there? With the professor around it shouldn't have been a problem, right?'

He watched in confusion, and after the video ended. His lips twitched in annoyance. 'This woman! Even if she doesn't want to help us, why is she creating trouble?!'

*Sigh*

'I'll get her back for this later. For now, we need to hurry up!'
