looking for clues

Sam and the enforcers had also found that, other than the four punks. 

One more kid of the same age has also disappeared, his name was Ravi.

  He studied in the same class as the other four and according to the academy five of these students were the brightest of this batch.

It was close to midnight Sam and the enforcers were looking for any clue that they could find, but they did not find any. 

Now Sam was also having a bad premonition.

He went back to his apartment to get the Evil sword for help, Even though the Evil sword was weird and had many weird hobbies it was more knowledgeable compared to Sam or anyone in the village and it had many tricks up its sleeves. 

Of course the Evil Sword demanded for compensation and Sam accepted everything without any argument.

Sam arrived at the alley where he last saw the kids, the Evil sword just floated on the spot for some time and said.

" I am not sure if this technique will work, if the person who we want to find is more powerful than me. I won't be able to find any clue..."

After saying her part the sword started vibrating with a special frequency, soon the sword started disappearing as if it was melding with the environment. 

As the sword disappeared completely Sam could feel that even though the place remained the same something was different.

Soon he recognized what was the difference , when he observed with his spiritual sense he could feel the aura of the four kids.

  Then he felt a more sinister and blood thirsty aura approaching the four kids' aura, but then all of this feelings or vision were cut off as if someone had blocked the rest of the happening entirely from anyone else.

Sam came out of the special state that he was in and saw that the Evil sword was floating in the air as before.

Evil sword " I am sorry the person is more powerful or he or she has some powerful equipment that can stop my probing.... But that sinister and blood thirsty aura, I think I have felt it before but I can't remember…. my memory is all foggy..."

Sam " It's ok, we will look for other clues...."

Before he completed that sentence Sam remembered something, he had also felt this similar aura when he was going to the hunter association in the morning. 

After thinking through it he was sure this aura was really similar, probably the same.

He took back the Evil sword into his dantian and caught up with the Enforcers to inform them about his conjecture.

  But they were faced with another difficulty now. 

The area around the hunter association was completely under the control of the hunter association, all kinds of surveillance were completely under their control and they didn't put the enforcers or anyone from the village in their eyes. 

For the hunters the village administration and the enforcers were a joke.

Now the village head and all others were in a dilemma, they didn't know if the hunter association would even accept their request. 

Even though they appeared to be in a dilemma everyone present knew the solution was simple, the hunter association or mercenary association worked for profit.

If they were to provide the hunter association with enough money, the hunter association would be more than happy to even capture the kidnapper for the village.

But Sam could see that the village head and the enforcer team had different emotions on their face. Some had anger, some had sadness and some had helplessness. 

Sam didn't understand why these people were showing different kinds of emotions.

Village head " I will talk to the association president.... if it doesn't go well, we will look for more clues.."

Melody " But village head ... we can't give upon this chance, this is the best chance that we have to find the children... we should just pay whatever they ask for..."

Village head " No need to talk anymore ... have you forgotten what happened when the spirit beast attack occurred previous time and how many lives we had to pay...I have already informed your father about the situation, he will be here soon... let's hope he could be able to find a solution.."

Melody " but by the time father returns, it might be too late.."

Village head" enough.."

Melody clenched her hand tight. 

Sam didn't clearly understand the situation, but he could figure out that the village and hunter association was in no good relationship or something similar, so Sam interfered.

Sam " Village head why don't you let me go, I know someone in the hunter association who might be able to help..."

Village head " No it wouldn't matter if you go or I go... "

Melody interjected " what if we show some other reason...and let Sam handle it .."

Village head " No, Sam had already helped us this much... we can't put him in trouble and if the truth comes out it would be more severe..."

This time Sam spoke with full resolve

  " You don't need to worry about anything, village head... I have a way to deal with this situation, just trust me ... and we are wasting time arguing amongst ourselves... "

Village head " This.."

With Melody and the rest of the enforcers supporting Sam, the village head decided to give Sam a chance.

  Sam didn't wait for anything else and moved fast towards the direction of the hunter association, at the same time he dialed a number in his sky watch.
