Chapter 193 Now that Steven died, I lost my only clue about the mastermind .
But with this, I confirmed the enemy's strength . If I'm not wrong, I'm facing someone on the same level as me .
However, I'm unable to find the reason behind the mastermind's actions . No matter how I look at it, there is not a good reason to use such a roundabout method to kill someone . People in our level are incredibly powerful, killing someone just requires a thought .
At least, of course, there is a kind of limitation .
Fortunately, there is still another murderer in the academy . If I'm not wrong, that murderer is in the same state as Steven, someone controlled against his will .
It looks like I must find a way to catch him, or at least, to catch someone else being manipulated .
Suddenly, I have a thought .
'How many people are being manipulated?'
And then, I thought about another thing .
'Are only people from the academy the victims?'
Maybe I can start investigating in that direction?
After following that line of thought, I concluded that it was the right direction . Perhaps…
I arrived at the Red Skull Gang while lost in thoughts . The two guards in the entrance bowed respectfully when I appeared .
\"Boss . \"
I nodded indifferently and entered the building .
Tonight, the headquarters of the Red Skull Gang were filled with people . All the people I met in the way seemed incredibly busy, but they were carrying happy smiles .
It was something normal, though . It had been just one day since we destroyed the Blood Night Gang, after all .
Strangely, I did not meet anyone familiar in the way . Normally, Raven or Marana would have come to receive me, but none of them was here today .
When I arrived at the office, I realized it was empty .
I frowned and tapped the table twice . Then, I went outside and called someone .
\"Do you know where Marana is?\"
\"Oh? Boss!\" The young man I stopped turned nervous when I called him . \"Y-You are here . \"
I frowned . Seeing my expression, the young man quickly composed himself .
\"B-Boss Marana is dealing with the aftermath of yesterday's battle, so she is not here . Miss Raven and Mr . Cline are with her . \"
I furrowed my brows . \"What about Elene?\"
\"Miss Elene has been very busy healing the injured . I heard she only rested just one hour ago . I think she is asleep now . \"
Sigh . It looks like everybody is busy today huh .
Well, it's normal . After all, the battle with the Blood Night Gang was just yesterday .
\"Is Akilah also busy?\"
\"I-I heard miss Akilah is training now . B-Boss, do you need her for something?\"
\"Yes . Go and call her . Tell her I have something important to tell her . \"
\"Y-Yes!\" The young man then ran to search for Akilah .
I sighed and returned to the office . Afterward, I started to revise the documents in the table while I waited for Akilah .
Fortunately, she did not take long to come .
\"I heard you were asking for me . \" Akilah entered the room with a displeased look . \"Hurry up, I'm busy training . \"
I was a bit surprised when I saw her . Different from her usual look, she was wearing a skin-tight sweater with short pants for training . Her body was a bit sweaty due to training, and her brown hair was tied in a ponytail .
To be honest, she looked incredibly seductive .
Her tongue, however, was as poisonous as ever .
\"Stop staring me like a pervert . I don't like it . \" She grunted .
I wrinkled my brows . This girl…
However, I have more important things tonight .
\"How is the situation?\" I asked .
\"A mess . \" Akilah said with irritation . \"Marana has been running around today due to the destruction of the Blood Night Gang . Moreover, the imperial guards and some nobles visited us earlier . Fortunately, nothing happened . \"
\"That is good . We can't lower our guard, however . I'm sure many people are eyeing the position of the overlord of the eastern capital's underground . The following days will be the most dangerous . \"
\"Sister knows about it . She has been doing the dirty work in your stead after all . \" Akilah said in a sarcastic tone .
I simply ignored her . \"I need to leave a message to Marana . Investigate all the strange murders that have occurred recently in the capital . I want a report on it tomorrow night . \"
\"… Is this important?\" Akilah frowned . \"Sister is already busy managing the gang . She doesn't need more work now . \"
\"It's important . \" I stared deeply at Akilah . \"Very important . \"
\"Well, if it's so important, why don't you investigate it yourself?\" She said coldly .
Sigh, this girl…
\"Akilah, I remember I warned you about being disrespectful, right?\"
\"And why I need to be respectful to you? You snatched the Red Skull Gang from my sister's hands . You are nothing but a thief!\"
\"It looks like you did not learn your lesson last time, huh? Last time, I forgive you after you attacked without reason, however, I remember saying that it would be the last time I allowed something like that . \"
\"Oh?\" Akilah scoffed . \"What are you going to do then, kill me? Do it if you dare!\"
I intertwined my fingers and smiled . I'm pretty sure that my smile is rather wicked right now .
\"Kill you, why would I do it?\"
My eyes narrowed . I stared at her tall and slender body and licked my lips .
\"No, I will just punish you . \"
. . .
