Ch. 180

( Yuto Pov )

The Capital of Anima, Mistral.

I was inside a bar disguised as a grown man with a cloak.

I drank the alcohol as I listened to any information that was available in the bar.

And no matter how they whispered or tried to keep it a secret, I could still hear them.

I had my eye on a group in the far corner. Each of them had a spider tattoo.

' It's been a while since I had alcohol. But sucks that I can't get drunk.' I thought as I put down the empty cup.

The five men observed a woman from afar who was dancing with her friends.

" Human trafficking..." I whispered as I already knew their plans.

Usually, the Spider organization would spy and collect information, but it seems this group got greedy or a little desperate that they need cash.

Spider who stepped out of their webs for food only to be hunted by a cat.

Two of them stood up as they approached the woman as they tried flirting with her, but her friend tried to get in their way and try to get her friend away.

I watched this as they forcibly grabbed the two women.

I looked at the bartender who looked away, and it wasn't just the bartender. The whole bar looked away or watched doing nothing.

' Well, I shouldn't be surprise, this is their bar.'

I stood up from the bar.

' Time to get to work.'

" Huh? Who are you?" The spider member asked as he raised an eyebrow.

" Just looking for someone." I replied.

" Huh!? Get the fuck out of here!" He waves me off.

" Sigh, no respect. Kitty attack! Eri Style!"

" Wha!?" Before he could react I threw Eri into his face as Eri bit his face.

" Aaaahh!!" He screamed as I kicked his other friend back into the chair.

Shing! I revealed the hidden blade ad stabbed his neck.

The rest of the thugs were in shock as they didn't react as I took the blade back before going after the rest of them.

One tried to run by vaulting over the chair but failed as I grabbed his ankle and dragged him back as I plunged the blade in the back of his neck.

Two frozen in shock as they held the two woman as shields.

" How pathetic." I spoke as I grabbed the two men and threw them to the floor.

" W–wait! Gah!" Before he could speak anymore I stomped on his throat crushing it.

" De–dell!?" The man shouted in anguish as I looked at him.

[ Josh Allen ] [ Age 23 ]

[ Level 23 ]

[ Hp: 240/250 ]

I pressed my foot against the man's throat as he struggled to take them off.

" Gruekk! No!!" He pleaded as I broke his neck.

I looked at the last one, with a messed up face filled with cat scratches and bites as I walked closer.

" Enough Eri.Wr need information." I took Eri into my arms as I observed the man.

[ Johnny Gavin ] [ Age: 25 ]

[ Level: 41 ]

[ Hp: 240/850 ]

" Well, johnny...you have a choice, the cat or information." I held up Eri in front of him as he retreated back in fear.

" Nonono!! Please no!!" He pleaded as he raised his arms.

" Hisss!" Eri hissed at him as I smelled urine.

" Where is Lil' Miss malachite?" I asked as I put Eri on the table.

" I–I can't!!" He refused.

I sighed asi turned to look at the two terrified girls.

" Fuck off." I spoke as they ran away.

I looked back at Johnny.

" Seems like I'll have to do this the hard way." I spoke as I forcefully grabbed Johnny's head.

' Genjutsu: Truth maker.'

Unclear eyes and the same breathing rythem.

" Now...what's this bar...lucky Luke's business?" I asked as I felt the eyes staring at me.

" Spying...information...and search for potential targets." He replied.

" And the targets? Why and what for?" I asked.

" To brainwash them into our spying network."

I slightly let go of the man's forehead before lifting my arm and unsheathing the blade into the air.

Shnngk!

Blood dripped to the ground as I heard the body fall.

'Invisibility cloak.' I looked at the man half invisible on the floor.

' That's pretty high tec. I see, the must've used these to gather information amd report to this bar to be sent to somewhere as well.'

I picked up the cloak before throwing it into my inventory.

' Like a spider web its all connected and sooner I'll find the spider.'

" Where's your information room?"

" back storage...there's a cellar that lead underground that leads to our collective room." The man replied as I cut his throat and threw him to the floor leaving him to die.

I relaxed the genjutsu as he started gasping for air and trying to stop the bleeding from his neck.

I went to the storage room and and found a cellar under a keg of beer.

I pulled the door opened as I walked down the steps.

It was well lit as I made my way deeper.

There shelfs of books, scrolls and papers as I continued deeper.

I would look through some of them but didn't find what I was seeking.

I entered a few roomfilled with boxes of information as I continued my search.

" Meow." I heard Eri as I walked towards her direction.

" Foumd anything?" I asked as I crouched next to her.

" Meow." Eri replied as she patted a folder.

I raised an eyebrow as I picked up the folder.

Opening it I saw maps and information of the city's potential targets for the spider organizations.

I frowned as I continued to look.

" Well this is something." I remembered the folders information as I started to leave this place after dropping a few explosive cards.

As I walked out I immediately notice the lack of people inside the bar as I felt the killing intent surrounding me.

" One.. three....five....seven of you." I counted as I pointed out their position.

Seeing their stealth had failed, they rushed at me as they dodged a few of their attacks before countering by cutting their legs tendons and their necks in one single strike as I made my way through them.

Sheathing the hidden blade as I continued to walk away from the ground of dead bodies covered in blood and invisibility cloaks.

In Mistral there were many hideouts for the spider organization and from the information I got a from them I had to look for spider emblems.
