"Is that so?" Scarlett asked, calmly. Scarlett Lapis, one of distant relatives of Multa Family, a 39-years-old woman who has long, brown hair, which tied up neatly, and blue eyes. She looks very noble and virtuous.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

"Might I ask why you always donate money to ENOX, Ms. Lapis?" Dia asked.

"Well, I want to give some of my money to many charities," Scarlett said.

"Oh, I really have no idea about it," Ethan said, surprisingly. Ethan Gratia, one of distant relatives of Virtusarium Family, a 32-years-old man who has short, black hair, and green eyes.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

"Well, we suspected that you are related to ENOX because you promoted about them on your social platform 'V Seeit' under your own account very often," Dia said.

"Oh, let me explain. Well, you know, I'm a founder of social media 'V Seeit' and I have to make this social platform popular among the people in the world. That's why I have to do things for charity and make the good image for 'V Seeit'. Who is going to believe they are related to that drug trafficking organization if the government did not say anything in public? We all know that they helped a lot of people," Ethan said.

There was nothing popped up in Dia's mind. It meant that he told the truth.

"I see. Please keep the everything we talked today secret. We want to arrest the real culprits very soon. If we knew that you reveal or leak the information to the others in any way, we will assume that you are related to them and we have the right to arrest you, Mr. Gratia" Dia said and inactivated 'Familia' on him.

"I understand," Ethan said.

"Is that so? I really don't know about that drug trafficking organization as I informed the other police officer who contacted me the other day," James said. James Nubes, a 37-years-old man who has short, brown hair, and green eyes. He looks so nice and neat.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

Dia suspected that he might do something illegal, then continued to asked him, "Might I ask why did you often donate money to ENOX, Mr. Nubes?"

"Well, I have a lot of friends in high society. We always donated to ENOX because we think it's a good charity. We can deduct tax because of that as well," James said.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

"Might I ask what kind of business you are doing, Mr. Nubes? We found that your bank account got high sum of money transferred from many people," Dia asked, randomly.

"Oh, I got money investment from my friends. We planned to start up business related to digital coin," James said.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

Dia had a feeling that he might deceive people but she could not get any more information because there was no information about his crime. She stopped to investigate him, then said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Nubes. And please keep everything we talked today secret. We want to arrest the real culprits very soon," She inactivated 'Familia' on him.

"I understand," James said and left.

Dia went to meet Regina in the observation room.

"Don't use that power often. We will be in trouble," Regina whispered.

"But you can arrest the criminal because of that power, right?" Dia said.

"You did things recklessly many times," Regina said, tiredly.

"Anyway, I think Mr. James Nubes is a fraud but I can't ask any further because we have no information about his crime," Dia said.

"All right. I will tell our people to give information to MSI," Regina said.

"I will approach William's daughter next week and keep all the evidences. So, you can check everything from the videos. I will contact you after I wrapped everything up," Dia said.

"All right," Regina said.

Dia went to shopping mall to buy more clothes, ropes, masks, and the other necessary things.

She went back to the apartment, packed everything, and check the information about Austellus State on the internet.

'Austellus State' was a southern part of Mirarus. The southeastern part of Austellus State was close to the southern sea named 'Margarita Sea', which connect to 'Orta Ocean'.

There were the border between southern part of Austellus State and Adamas Kingdom, and the border between southwestern part of Austellus and Unitus Kingdom.

Austellus State was a popular choice for vacation in Mirarus because it close to the sea.

Dia spent time the entire week to remember all the main routes and important locations in Austellus.

The next day,

Dia drove on the highway, heading to WG Hotel in the city of Austellus.

She reached WG Hotel at night. She parked the sports car, took out a suitcase, pretended to be a normal traveler, and went to check in.

Afterward, she followed a bellboy across the lobby to the elevator, then took it to the fifteenth floor.

Dia walked into the room and tipped him 100 m-dollars. She wanted him to brag about generous tip to draw the target's attention.

"Thank you, Miss" A bellboy said. He was very happy after he got a high tip, then left.

The next day,

Dia spent time doing things leisurely in the hotel lobby as if she came for resting, while observing her target, William, and Claudia.

She did not see any of them after she observed people who walked in and walked out for a while. She decided to walk out of the hotel, to avoided making herself a suspicious guest.

She drove to the shopping mall nearby and parked the car. Then changed her appearance, wearing black wig, black eyes, and black suit. She teleported to the toilet, near the lobby, then went to the restaurant and observed the target.

She did the same way by changing her appearance every day in the past 2 weeks to observe them and make sure about their schedules.

She learned that William came to manage the hotel twice a week, and Claudia seemed to live here and do the routine activities. She saw her went to fitness center in the morning, went outside to go shopping or meet her friends in the afternoon, then came back to the hotel.

Dia chose the day William did not come to the hotel to approach Claudia.

She started to go to the fitness center first. She saw 2 bodyguards staying beside Claudia.

Claudia Griseus, a pretty woman who was in her early twenties. She has long, honey brown hair, and brown eyes.

It seemed that the other guests avoided them, working out a bit far from them.

Dia used 'The Eye of Truth' to observe them, while doing weight training, not far from her, waiting for a chance to approach her.

After a while, Claudia stopped running on a treadmill to get some rest.

One of bodyguards handed her a bottle of water while another one handed her a towel.

Dia could not see any chance to approach her, then decided to move to work out on ab bench near the door where everyone must pass to walk in and walk out.

Claudia stopped to work out, then walk toward the door. The 2 bodyguards followed behind her.

Dia activated 'Wind Magic' to pull Claudia's leg, making her fall in front of her. She pretended to support her on time.

The 2 bodyguards hurriedly took Claudia from her arms.

"Are you all right?" Dia asked.

"We will take care of her. Don't worry," one of bodyguards said.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

"Don't be rude," said Claudia angrily.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Claudia" one of bodyguards said.

"Thank you for saving me," said Claudia attractively. She felt warm in her arms momentarily.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

"It's all right. Please take care," said Dia nicely. She pretended to not show any interest in her, then turned around and walked away.

"Ah, wait, May I ask your name?" Claudia asked, eagerly.

Dia turned around to look at her, then nicely said, "I'm Julia Scientia."

"I'm Claudia Griseus. Well, do you have time this evening? I would like to thank you officially," Claudia asked, eagerly.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

"It's all right," said Dia nicely.

The bodyguards looked at her angrily.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

"Please. I really want to return the favor to you, Ms. Julia" Claudia said nicely.

there were the true words popped up in Dia's mind.

"All right," said Dia nicely.

"See you in the lobby at 6 p.m., Ms. Julia" said Claudia delightedly

"All right," said Dia nicely. She pretended to continue to work out.

Meanwhile, Claudia went back to her room.

"Find out about her and don't trouble her," Claudia said.

"Yes, Ms. Claudia" a bodyguard said and left.

Another bodyguard thought to himself,

In the evening,

Dia wore white, branded trouser suit, luxury watch, and branded leather shoes, wanting to deceive her. She walked to the lobby and saw Claudia sitting in the lobby while her 2 bodyguards were standing beside her.

Claudia, who likes woman since there was no man can approach her, impressed Dia's appearance, wanting to get her more. She recalled the words from her bodyguard.

★*:.。. ✧☆✧ .。.:*★

a bodyguard reported her.

Claudia asked.

a bodyguard said.

★*:.。. ✧☆✧ .。.:*★

Dia walked toward her, using 'The Eyes of Truth' to read her mind, then nicely said, "I'm sorry for making you wait, Ms. Claudia"

"It's all right. You came at the appointed time," said Claudia charmingly. She wore blue, halter silk dress, revealing her waist, and lean body.
