Novel Full 172 Plan's Done
It was nighttime when Asher and the rest arrived at their destination.
Dane looked around; it was just an abandoned camp used by some guilds. He could guess that much by seeing the architecture of the houses around them.
They were single-story houses mostly used for storing equipment and not for living. Most of these houses were built if multiple dungeons appeared in an area far from the main cities.
Tom looked around as he pointed at one of the houses in the center.
“I will do my set up there,” Tom said.
“Should I scout around?” Kai asked, looking at Asher.
Even though this was an abandoned place, there were still chances of people coming here.
“Don’t go too far; we will only stay here for a day or two,” Asher replied.
Kai nodded as he quickly dashed away.
“I will help you set all this up,” Dane said as he went inside the house with Tom.
Asher decided to stay in another house in the meantime to practice his mana circulation. He had already reached D Rank, and his body had also adjusted to D Rank.
Tom was setting up all the devices he needed to help them in their heist. It took him around an hour to set everything up.
Shortly after he was done, Asher and Kai entered the house and saw Tom working on something.
Dane was sitting behind him, looking at his work with a surprised look. He had worked with many people like Tom in his career, but he hadn’t seen someone as talented as Tom. Now he could understand why Asher had brought someone like Tom to help them in this mission.
“Is it finished?” Asher asked.
“Yes, I will show you the footage I found,” Tom said as he turned and tapped on his device.
A hologram popped up from the device installed on the ground, revealing a facility with guards all around it.
“This facility is currently under one of the Kalvas Gala’s Heads,” Tom said.
Kalvas Gala only happened once every three years, and every time it happened, seven new heads were chosen from the attendees to manage the next Gala.
From the theme of the Gala to the management, everything was done according to the seven heads. And some of them were responsible for delivering all the artifacts that would be put in the Auction to the special Vault.
In the upper society, it was considered a great honor to host the Gala.
And this time, one of the Seven Heads was the Family head of the Whiteheart Family, one of the three from the Seven Kalvas Gala’s heads responsible for the safety of the artifacts.
The artifacts sold in the Auction were either put up by the Elite families who wanted to sell them, or others were found in the Dungeons by independent Hunter teams.
As an SS Rank Dungeon was one of the most dangerous dungeons, there were many times when Guilds would work together with other guilds or the World Association to clear them quickly. And that was when the Artifact found was placed in the Kalvas Gala.
Apart from Monster materials and the mana gems found in these dungeons, artifacts were the only things that were very hard to distribute. So, in most cases, those Artifacts were sent to the Kalvas Gala, where the bid money would then be distributed among the teams that cleared the dungeon.
Only a few guilds, like Abyss Guild and others, could clear SS Rank Dungeons independently. But even then, there was an issue of Dungeon Ownership, which sometimes forced them to work with others.
And the Artifact that Asher was targeting was one that would be delivered to the Special Vault for Kalvas Gala. Stealing from that Vault was pretty much impossible for his current power. However, the artifacts that the Whiteheart Family’s Head was going to transport were still in the facility owned by the Whiteheart family.
“Do we have to infiltrate this facility?” Kai asked, but Tom shook his head.
“This is just a cover-up for the real facility that could only be accessed from this point,” Tom highlighted a specific area.
“There is a lift used by Authorized Personnel, and it is the only way to reach the artifacts without alerting anyone,” Tom said.
“But even when you go inside, the underground facility is divided into 5 Levels, and the artifacts are stored in the lowest level, which is the 5th one,” Tom explained.
“This means that we will have to engage in combat sooner or later during the infiltration,” Kai spoke.
“But if we make a mess here, the backup from the people will arrive, and we will be trapped in the middle,” Dane added.
“That’s where you are wrong,” Asher interrupted them.
“We will move through the 1st Level and eliminate all the people there,” Asher said.
“And you will secure the security room on the 1st Level,” Asher looked at Dane.
“And both of us will go to Level 4 together while he has control over the only security room that can call the backup,” Asher said.
“But there will still be many people inside the lower levels,” Kai said, and he was right.
“Don’t worry about that; for some reason, all of their S Rank Hunters are not in the facility, and they will not come here until the end of this week,” Tom replied.
“As he said, we will only encounter A Rank Hunters or lower ones,” Asher said.
“This is where I will split from you; the 5th Level will have no security, so I will be the one who will go down from the 4th level,” Asher said.
His plan was clear, and he had already assigned roles to Dane and Kai, knowing what suited them best.
“Well, here is the course you will take,” Tom explained their roles.
After Tom’s explanation, Kai had one question in mind.
“Do we know which Kalvas Gala’s head is behind this facility?” Kai asked, looking at Tom.
“Ah, it’s the Whiteheart Family,” Tom replied.
Kai’s eyes went wide when he heard about this person. And the reason behind his reaction was that among all the Elite families, the Whiteheart Family, despite being the newest one, had taken a firm spot in the High Council.
Many people were surprised when the Whiteheart family took the empty seat in the High Council, but there was not much opposition to this matter.
And the reason behind that was the Family Head of the Whiteheart family, known for his ruthless nature. So not only were they targeting their facility, but what’s worse was the fact that they were in Desmar.
If they messed up their plan, it was not wrong to assume that the hunters working under the Whiteheart family would act very quickly to arrive there and handle the situation.
“Get some rest. We will move tomorrow evening,” Asher said as he turned, leaving Kai and Dane lost in their thoughts.
“Are you sure that their backup will not be present there?” Kai asked Tom for one final confirmation.
“No, there is a Dungeon Breakout that happened a few days ago, and it will take them some time to return,” Tom replied.
**********
In a training room, a 45-year-old man could be seen swinging his spear around, and with each strike, the air around the room was shaking.
The man kept repeating the moves until he sensed a presence at the entrance of his training room. Then, finally, the door opened, and his butler came inside.
“Is the situation at that Dungeon stabilized yet?” The man with white hair and blue eyes asked.
“We have sent the S Rank Hunters as you ordered,” The butler replied.
“Tell them to settle the situation without wasting time,” The man said.
“As you wish, Master, but about the security around the facility…” The butler spoke.

He didn’t need to worry much about the facility as he was sure no one was stupid enough to mess with him inside Desmar.
“Not yet. They are not giving any clue regarding Reece William’s condition,” The butler replied.
“Any news about Raelyn and Kevin?” The man asked as he placed the spear on the handle.
“Nothing after the Auction happened,” The butler said.
“You can go now,” The man said, and the butler soon left him alone in the training room.
“It seems my son is doing well inside the World Academy,” A smile appeared on his face.
He was sure that Kevin would easily be able to surpass anyone in the World Academy when the Second Year began.
‘Ah, I should send something good to the Rothschild for this favor,’ He thought as he wore his robe.
