Novel Full Chapter 1225 - Bust
Sam checked the remains of the person who just killed himself. Even though he doesn't know what kind of technique he used to destroy himself and the soul and why he did that. He doesn't know what kind of secret this guy held, but they knew one thing for sure.
The candidates that were selected as a prospect to become future successors have much more free will and thoughts than the normal followers. That also means this guy who failed to become the successor has been convinced into joining hands with the current leader and is helping in handling all these extra rackets.
"It seems like some self-activating curse. All they need is to chant those words and it is activating."
Sam said as he looked at Markan who has a complicated expression.
"The successors don't have to go through the same training as the others particularly the training programs that are designed for the mentality. It is because they are the decision-makers instead of just blind followers."
"That means, they don't need to be replaced by duplicates, all they need to do is convince them. Since these people will already have some administrative hold on low-level members, things are way easier. Seems like cancer caused by your rival has spread too much in the organization. We need to be careful while handling this."
Sam said and he looked over at the team before asking Markan.
"How big is your authority in the organization at the moment? Not the authority you currently hold, rather the authority you can hold with your current rank."
"It is pretty high, I am right next to the Leader of the organization and I can even veto some of his decisions if I appeal to the grand elders and provide a proper reason."
"Can you have personal subordinates working in the organization?"
"I cannot just inject new ones in. Every subordinate must be taken in from various training areas. Why?"
"From the reaction we got from this guy, he clearly doesn't know that you are alive. But we already made sure to send the information that you are alive through the subordinates of your organization when we are dealing with the puppet organization.
But why did this guy not know that you are here? He reacted as if you should be dead. It is as if the news didn't spread at all.
We sent almost two dozen people back here just to spread the news, it is almost impossible to not hear it."
"Unless someone suppresses it deliberately," Markan replied and he felt like he touched upon something.
"It seems like your Arch-enemy doesn't want your presence to be known," Sam said with a smile.
"I think your disappearance might have a lot to do with the convincing of the other successor prospects helping in these rackets. It seems like we are not as disadvantageous as we originally anticipated."
Five-elemental King chimed in.
"It seems like we can put the information you gathered to good use and we don't even have to wait. It is just that there is no good reason for our presence with you. The grand elders might make a fuss about it. Let us just think of some other ways, if we cannot find any other ways, you can carry the Lightning divine dimension with you and we can just hide in it."
With that, they dispersed and started preparing for the move.
After half an hour or so, Markan suddenly got an idea and called everyone.
"I think I have a way."
Everyone looked at him waiting for him to continue.
"I used to have a crew with me when I disappeared. During the ambush, all of them died. I think we can pose you as that crew.
They used to wear cloaks to cover their faces, even though they never used any concealing formations to aid their disguise and just wore them symbolically, we can just add the concealment to the cloak, and with some explaining, we can just sell you guys as the crew. But the problem is, there are two members who cannot do that and I think Sia and Gran would be better off coming into the divine dimension.
Our group has three more members than the crew and all of them are men. If Sia and Gran come in divine dimension, they wouldn't have to go through the hassle of disguising themselves as men. But even then, we have one person more, so one of you guys also has to go into the divine dimension."
The group exchanged glances and Sam volunteered after some thought.
"I will go in. Since I will be doing most of the planning and less of the fighting, it is better for me to be inside. I can also leisurely look at the situation and don't need to waste time with the pretenses and the meetings. I can find a better use of my time."
Thus the preparation started once again.
Sam started preparing the cloaks properly. He took the template from the guys they captured and created the perfect black cloak that could create the most proper concealment that is needed for their operation.
After that, they decided to make their move immediately.
He looked at the team that assembled before their departure and said.
"The investigation team's arrival was always known to the Black Ghost members, so they are prepared. But now we are moving with the person who has the second-highest authority directly and gives them surprise and after every cleanup, we are going to make that a secret.
We are going to do a sweep. We are going to move fast.
Markan, you are going to use your authority to command the local Black Ghost members to keep a watch on the whole racket after we busted it. We will record everything and present the witnesses, confessions, the scenes, and even the interrogations all of them to the Grand Elders.
This operation not only restores the Black Ghosts to normal, but it also helps you to get your position back."
With that, Sam started giving instructions and soon they moved out.
They went to bust the fighting ring they had been eyeing for a while.
Currently, they already busted the main leader and even the supervisor, but both of them are unfortunately dead, so they can only capture the deputy who is also a Black Ghost member.
They arrived at the ring, Markan stayed out of the door while the rest of the team members went in blocking all the exits.
At this moment, Markan performed his Hexagram Summon in the city.
The Black Ghost members all around the city looked at the sky and even the city administrators, and others are stunned by this symbol and started running to the underground ring.
The attendants that are outside saw the summon and understood that their bosses' asses are about to go on fire and wanted to get in touch with them to give this information, but before they could get there, the team made their move and pinned down every Black Ghost member there is along with the members of this parallel racket.
The doors were opened and Markan entered. When the deputy saw this, he was about to chant the same thing as the previous one did, but Kiran who was beside them placed a disc on his back before he could chant and inject his energy.
The energy started in his body riled up. It was actually supposed to flow to their hearts and brains before blowing up, but now it is just in utter chaos.
Markan looked at the Deputy who is groaning in pain.
"Long time no see. But I doubt that you remember my face."
"I… I.."
"I didn't know that bastard has a grip on the previous successor prospects too. You are older than us by at least fifty years. Why bother digging into this shit? You know how the Black Ghosts work."
"You were supposed to be dead. You were not supposed to be alive."
"Oh, I was dead. I was dead as Markan and returned as Judgement for you and your boss. How dare you sully the name of the Black Ghosts. How dare you do this to our sacred organization? All of this for what? Huh?"
The other party didn't dare say a word, he knew that he wouldn't be able to do anything now that even the chan didn't work.
The Black Ghost members came in and knelt down before Markan.
"You are to hold the racket. None of the information leaves this place. I have seen every member here and until my command, Markan's command comes, you are to stay in the place. I am vetoing the power of the current leader of the Black Ghosts with the Grand elder. Until that trial ends, the leader doesn't have the authority to veto my command unless he comes here himself. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"That is right. Now guard the place. Make sure that none of the administrators know what is happening and give them a warning in the name of me and make sure that not a word slips by. Otherwise, they would incur my wrath."
