My Space-Time System

501 Master planner.

Having collected the package, the boss went on to place an order with the waiter while the dealer left the restaurant.

‘That’s my queue.’ Blake said as he stood from his hiding position and began tailing the dealer while remaining hidden.

After less than 10 minutes of following the dealer, he finally began circling an area before entering a hotel in the area.

[He is at the peak of the Champion realm, so we should be able to get useful info from him.] The system said.

Although being at the peak of the champion realm seemed to be nothing special, it was quite impressive that someone that didn’t attend the magic school was able to get to this level.

Also, the fact that the delivery man was at the peak of the champion realm meant that the people he was working for were not low-time drug dealers.

After 20 minutes of waiting to see if he would come out, an idea popped into Blake’s head.

‘I need to confirm something.’ Blake took out a map and used the locator spell to find the position of the man.

The light lit up on the map and it was currently on the area he was in, meaning that the man didn’t have any form of anti-tracking items on him or in his room.

….. .

“Why is the locator spell working way better than before?” Blake couldn’t help but ask, and it didn’t take time for him to begin thinking that it was something related to understanding the space element.

[Hold your horses.] The system said. [First thing is that you have gotten too used to criminals in Calton possessing anti-tracking items, and you have forgotten that Duststar is a backwash city.]

[Secondly, you are literally the only thing that scares criminals in Duststar. So since they think that they know everything about your movements, they feel they have no reasons for things like that especially when you are supposedly in your hotel at the moment.] The system explained.

“Doesn’t that mean that they are all working together?” Blake couldn’t help but ask.

[In one way or another, everything in the underworld is somehow related. So since exposing one might implicate another, why wouldn’t they work with themselves.] The system said.

‘I didn’t know I was that scary.’ Blake thought with a smirk on his face causing the system to facepalm and shake its head.

It just explained how things would be harder for Blake, but the first thing that came to his mind was bragging.

With how long the dealer stayed in the hotel, it was more than safe to say it was his residence for now, so it was time for him to return to the hotel.

The problem now was that he still had no ride, and he was even farther away from the Serene Angel hotel.

…

For the rest of the day, Blake was keeping an eye on the position of his target, but it wasn’t moving at all.

[What exactly do you want from him?] The system asked Blake.

“I need him to lead me to a drug depot.” Blake answered.

[So, what will you do if the drug depot is not in the city?]

Duststar city barely had a standard drainage system, meaning the chances of having a huge underground depot were low.

On the other hand, the city was surrounded by smaller mountains and hills making it the perfect hiding spot for all types of hideouts.

So rather than building a depot in a small city where they could be easily monitored, the drug lords decided it was best to build their hideouts out of the city. There they could both store and produce more drugs without being discovered.

The only problem was smuggling it into the city, but all that could be resolved by bribing the ash corps at the gates of the city.

“If he was to leave the city I will no longer be able to track him with the map, but I will still be able to track him just that it would be a little bit difficult.”

“The problem is how to leave the city without being detected, because there is a chance that the dealer can be informed of my presence causing him to lead me into a trap.” Blake said as he began pondering on how to solve the problem.

If the target began moving out of the city in the daytime, there was no way Blake would be able to keep up with his carriage on foot, undetected, talk less of leaving the city.

“To solve this problem I need to break it down into smaller components.”

“The first problem is leaving the city undetected. I can mark a carriage that would be leaving the city, then warp inside it when it leaves. The problem is being able to mark a carriage that would be leaving in both the direction and exact time the dealer would be leaving the city.”

“That would be close to impossible to find, but why should I look for one when I can create it.” Blake said with a grin as he came up with a plan.

[The next problem is getting to the wall without being detected.] The system said.

If Blake was somehow able to get to the outskirts of the city, there was a large space between the wall and the living areas. So, he wouldn’t be able to keep hiding with the buildings.

Also, if he was to leave his hotel just when the dealer was making his way out of the city, he would become suspicious thus ruining everything so far.

“That shouldn’t be an issue.” Blake said with a smile as he couldn’t believe how his problem-solving skills had increased by so much.
