Chapter 409 Mysterious Case
Chapter 409 Mysterious Case
Snake's already swollen eyelids forced their way open, not wanting to believe what his eyes saw.
Yes!
Those stationed outside the Tian estates and all hidden parts within the gated community were gathered.
Those controlling the drones, those seated by the computers, and many others were there.
F***!
Snake's eyes were red. Night Whisperer also felt despair as well as the others.
Now, they only hoped those in the vehicles parked outside the gated community and those in their living quarters and hotels wouldn't get discovered.
In fact, the moment they lost signal with that team, they should've already retreated after a while as per protocol.
So everyone hoped they escaped the police's search.
Sadly, their luck had also run out. Because during their nightly battle here, Dorian had some people round that group up too.
"Take them away."
Today was the end of this Darknet matter.
As for Alice, who should be waking up by now, he'll leave the Hous to handle her matter as planned.
Sure enough, the Hous punished Alice and informed the rest of the staff residing in the estate.
Everyone dared not to have any other thoughts after seeing Alice's end.
Finally, the Tian house was cleaned up.
Happy. Happy. Happy.
.
"What a fun play. I wonder when I'll be able to make paper men as sturdy as the Grandmaster's?"
"Heh. In your dreams! I shall be the one to master it before anyone else."
"Hey... I wonder when the Grandmaster will start accepting disciples. Obviously, I'm the best candidate."
"Screw you, Sota! If anyone should be his disciple, it should be me!"
"Damn, Wayne! Are you trying to fight me for a position I've been vying for?"
The group of lucky disciples opportuned to watch the show were all excited, talking about the events that unfolded.
Don't think they didn't notice the use of several spells and attacks from beginning to end.
Many were so pumped up that they immediately said their farewells and left the Tian estate, rushing back to the Academy through any of the 3 portals stationed across the city.
As for the police who came to take the intruders away, they were also at a loss.
What sort of hellish beatings had these people taken to be left in this state?
Shudder. Shudder.~
Many felt a chill crawl up their homes, handcuffing the prisoners after taking off their masks.
Hell! Not even the women were spared... This was real equality.
.
The police officers placed them in the prison wagon trucks and took them away without further questions.
In truth, they were also happy with this capture. Why? Because the computers they retrieve and some files they find would also help crack the darknet's forces.
Of course, down the line, those in the Darknet would eventually know Snake's team was captured. But for now, the news wasn't known to others.
So this window of opportunity was perfect for going undercover. They could pretend to be Snake's group for a while.
Of course at the same time, they also had to dim the other members of Snake's group scattered around the world.
Snake's leader had some form abroad, like Night Whisperer, who returned to help, while others were hiding within the country.
So you see, this was a perfect time to strike!
All computers, gadgets, phones, and everything else found in their sleeping quarters, hotels, or other places would need to be taken in.
However, what the police didn't know was that even though they were captured, these killers had already taken precautions should they get caught.
So everything they had here was 'clean.'
There was no information linking them to the darknet at all.
All the police would find would be their plans for infiltrating the Tian estate and nothing more. Even the phones they had here were burner phones, ones they could throw away after usage.
And now, even though they had been captured, they were waiting for their members to break them out.
Why? Because people in the Darknet also had spies and members who did 'ordinary' jobs like being police officers.
So was this truly the last they would see of them?... Who knows... Only time will tell.
.
Vrmmmmm!~
The police vehicles left the scene, as well as the many disciples.
Alice was also sent out by the Hou guards after begging and pleading to no end.
Her dreams of marrying Jung Hou were a thousand times harder than before.
"No! No!... I'm a genius! You can't do this to me! I didn't know they were criminals. Believe me, senior Jung. Don't you like me?"
"_"
Alice's heart was in disarray as she struggled to break from the Hou guards.
Her eyes were crazed, and her heart was pounding wildly.
Her dreams... Her hope of marrying the wealthy man...
"Get your filthy hands off me!!"
She released an ear-bursting threat, shaking her head maniacally after getting Jung Hou's rejection.
While begging, she bravely confessed her love, only to get a straight rejection.
He didn't even hesitate to tell her no.
Why! Was he blind? Was he made of stone? Or could he be dead down there?
No! She was beautiful! A genius many praised and a one-of-a-kind one at that... So why was Senior Jung not moved by her?
Alice had her hands on her head, shaking in disbelief.
It's over... It's over...
"No! This can't be! Tell me you're joking, senior!"
In no time, the desperate Alice was escorted by the Hou guards after taking her suspension notice and told to return to the Hospital to take her work transfer forms after a few days.
She looked like a corpse while taken out. And just like that, the matter had ended with the elders surrounding Dorian.
With them alone, the atmosphere once again turned solemn.
"Grandmaster... We've been keeping an eye out for weird news and reports." Old Gia commented, with everyone nodding too.
It was only becoming exorcists did they realize how many 'ridiculous' and bizarre reports were true.
Even some online threads or news posted on blogs and personal chats and forums were important to them.
Strange disappearances, bodies appearing with deep unexplainable animal marks…
They found their cases like so.
