Ch. 144 Information book
( Yuto Pov )
" There's the first target." Atalanta spoke as we both leaned over on a railing.
" Nothing special about him. He seems like a regular Noble with a stick up his ass." I spoke as I slowly turned my head to a different direction to not seem like I'm spying on the guy.
" Trace or track?" I asked.
" Trace?" Atalanta asked as she looked at me.
I took out a small bottle.
" Only animals with a strong nose can trace this smell. And you have a strong nose, don't you?"
" Are you calling me an animal?"Atalanta glared at me.
" Hehe, whatever you say." I said as I jumped over over the railing.
I quietly followed the target.
" So we're following him then?" Atalanta spoke.
" Yeah, since you didn't want to trace him with your nose."
" I'm not doing that." She stated
" Then let's follow him. Your loud voice could give us out." I smirked as I walked ahead.
Atalantas eyes were twitching as she followed me.
" Can't believe I'm following you." She stated.
" Deal with it." I chuckled.
" Sigh." Atalanta sighed.
We both followed our target.
We kept following the target to the east of the city into a large housing area.
" Man, look at these mansions."
I said as we were on top of a roof.
Atalanta didn't say anything and just kept focusing on the target.
" There are too many servants and guards. We should wait until nighttime."
" Alright." Atalanta responded.
We both sat behind the wall.
We say for a few seconds before I spoke up.
" Wanna get some pie?" I asked.
Atalanta turned her head to me.
" Sure."
" Let's go." I said as I got up.
Atalanta got up as well and followed me.
* Night time *
" Munch Munch. "
" Maybe you should slow down on the pie." I spoke.
Atalanta ignored me and kept stuffing her mouth with pie.
I just shook my head.
" It should be time. "
" Gulp, alright, we should sneak inside...."
" Space Strike. " I spoke as I held out my bow, Hunters Edge.
A huge shift appeared on the tip of the arrow.
As soon as I released it, the bow broke.
I looked down to the broken bow and to the mansion.
" Huh, I thought there would be a loud explo...."
* BOOOOMMM!!! *
The house exploded.
Atalanta just looked shocked, and I had a blank face as the shockwave passed us.
" I think that was overkill." I spoke.
" Y..you idiot!!!" Atalanta shouted.
" How are we supposed to get information on the next target!!!??"
" Calm down, well get it." I calmly said as I threw the bow away.
" It's not like the gods would just put the info in front of us!!" She shouted.
[ Lucky Encounter ]
' There it is.' I thought as I saw something fly from the explosion.
I just took a step back.
* Thud! *
Atalanta looked at the chest that landed next to us, and then she looked at me.
I gave a smug smile.
" Sigh, I'm just blessed by the goddess of luck herself." My voice was filled with smug.
Atalantas eyebrows was twitching.
" Sigh. forget it. Let's open this chest." She spoke as she broke the lock with her dagger.
* Clank *
I crouched right next to her.
" Well, it seems like I'm your lucky charm." I said as I pulled out a book with a list of names.
" Welp, we got intel on our next targets. Let's go before the guards arrive." I said as I got up.
Atalanta nodded and followed.
We escaped through the rooftops as we heard guards running on the road.
We made it out of the city as we began traveling through the forest.
Once we made enough distance from the city, I pulled the book as we kept walking.
" Hmm, there's a lot of people. Not to mention a king being part of the organization." I spoke.
" A king?" Atalanta asked.
" Here, read it yourself." I handed the book to Atalanta.
" King Vassilis." Who would've thought a king to be part of this organization." Atalanta spoke as she looked at me.
" Which means there's probably a god or goddess behind this organization. And not only that, but it seems they've given up hiding with how easy we got this information." I spoke as we kept walking.
" A god? that would be troublesome." Atalanta spoke as she frowned.
" Don't worry, we'll take down this organization even if it's a god or not. Even a god can bleed." I spoke as I thought of the Poseidons blood in the vial in my inventory.
I smiled as I looked at Atalanta.
" Don't tell me you're having second thoughts now?"
" Hmph, of course not." She said as she sped up passing me.
" Sure, sure. Whatever you say." I said as I followed her.
" But we'll do this together, right?" She spoke as she kept walking forward.
I chuckled.
" Of course." I smiled.
" Though I need some food as payment." I continued.
" Tsk." Atalanta clicked her tongue.
I just smirked as I knew she had some pie left in her bag.
" Here." She said as she gave me her bag.
I took the last pie she had, and just as I was about to eat it, I gave some to her.
" Sigh. here, let's just split it."
Atalanta didn't say anything and just grabbed the pie and ate it.
We both ate the last pie together.
