Dante took a bath after returning to his hotel, he was now sitting on his bed relaxing.
[Master, can I ask you a question?] Nemesis suddenly asked and Dante who had been expecting this nodded.
''Go ahead.''
[Why go to such lengths to get that girl? You almost died there.]
''Because she is worth it and before you begin to complain about why I ask her to collect information when you could easily do it, it is simply to give her a purpose.''
Nemesis analyzed her master's words and finally concluded that what he said does make sense.
[I'm checking different sources to see if someone claims responsibility for the terrorist attack but for now nothing. However, it seems something similar did happen in other cities as well.]
''I see, keep searching.'' Dante nodded, he was not too much in hurry to find out anyway because even if he were to find out something with his current strength he couldn't do anything. He was not doing this because of some sense of heroism after witnessing many people dying but simply because he would have died just helplessly like others if he was not strong and quick and for this, a price must be paid, nobody target his life, and leave without paying an appropriate price.
''Did you manage to hack into Hunter's association system?" Dante brought up something important now that he got a bit of time.
[Not completely but I can do a few things such as finding good dungeons and creating a fake hunter's license.] Nemesis explained, upon hearing this Dante could not stop a grin from forming on his face, he got an idea but that would have to wait for now, he must increase his strength and prepare a few things before letting this idea blossom.
[Master, I just find something. It seemed that there was another terrorist attack in another part of the city and the police if after one of the responsible. He is on the run as the police are chasing after him.] Nemesis suddenly informed him and without wasting time he ordered her.
"Continue to track their location. If it is possible lure the police away and I will take care of the fugitive.''
[I understand. I will show you their location and the most appropriate place for an ambush.]
Dante saw a 3D map appearing in his head with a lot of blue dots chasing after a single red dot, a red dot he believes to be the fugitive. Dante leave his room through the window and like a cheetah he was already on the rooftop and started jumping from one building to another thanks to his agility and amazing reflexes. His destination is the slum where the red dot was heading.
°°°°°
Light blue, wavy hair clumsily hangs over a strong, charming face. Dancing gray eyes, set charmingly within their sockets.
A mustache charmingly compliments his cheekbones and leaves an amusing memory of his luck in battles and dangerous situations.
This is the face of Alluin Dawnwing, a member of the underworld syndicate, today operation should've been easy but for some reason he became a wanted man and was now on the run, hoping to escape from furious police cars, Alluin believed in his luck and as if to acknowledge this the police cars not far behind him suddenly turned tail and went in another direction.
''Lady luck hasn't forsaken me.'' Alluin declared with a smile before taking a shortcut through a deserted alley after running into the slum. It happened the moment he walked into that alley.
''Welcome.'' A young man with white hair and unusual eyes appeared from the darkness.
Alluin's heart tightened and a chill went down his back as cold sweat covered his hands and feet; a feeling of unease clawed at his heart. His long years in the underworld have told something, to always stay vigilant in unforeseen circumstances and there is no coincidence.
''Who the hell are you?" Alluin yelled while secretly calling out the scarce mana he had left, he would wait for an appropriate moment to strike before running. As mentioned above, he never believe in coincidence, this young man was specifically waiting for him here which would mean he must be the one responsible for the police cars heading somewhere else.
"!"
A chill crawled up Alluin's spine as he realized what this meant. This young man is dangerous and the people behind him are as well.
''Motherfucker, didn't you hear my question? Who the hell are you blocking my way?" Alluin asked while secretly preparing to attack.
All he got in response was those odd eyes staring at him like a beast playing with its prey, this made Alluin angry and his body trembled, delaying his timing.
As if he had been waiting for this, Dante finally made a move.
His spear's blade flashed in like lightning.
"Keough! Ahhh!!"
The eyes of the black-robed man widened, and Alluin's eyes went round with shock.
Gazing at Dante, who suddenly launched a deadly surprise attack instead of answering, Alluin's body shook in disbelief.
"I'm the investigator.''
Dante then twisted the spear that had pierced the man's stomach and smiled brightly.
