Chapter 244: CHAPTER 244 – A Video from a weird guy.
"So, what information did we receive?"
Alex asked as he walked into the hall where Luna, Ann, and Alice were sitting with a laptop in front of them.
"From the many emails we received, there was one that seemed legit, and it had the video of some people in black vanishing as they reached a certain location."
Ann spoke as she turned the laptop toward Alex.
"Hmmm…."
Alex hummed thoughtfully before he picked up the laptop and sat on the sofa adjacent to the three of them.
Then he played the video.
*Bzz*
There was some static at the start before the video started playing.
'As you can see, I live in front of this building….'
The one recording this video whispered as if he was afraid of being heard by someone before he turned the camera upward, showing the building that was the place suspected as the mysterious group's base or hideout.
Unlike what someone would think, it was not an abandoned factory or some deserted building, nor was it a haunted mansion. It was the largest hotel in the Rosvic city in Yellow Country.
"Yellow country huh…"
Alex muttered as the video clip continued.
'For some days, I've been seeing the same guys coming here from time to time before they would vanish….'
The guy in the video continued in a whisper.
'They always carry a large package which I think is probably...'
The guy who was speaking paused for suspense before he turned the camera towards the backdoor of the hotel and added.
'Dead bodies or maybe live ones….'
Alex paused the video, raised his brow, and looked up at Luna, Ann, and Alice one after another with a 'Really now, girl?' type of look.
"This guy clearly feels like those wanna-be detectives, who have seen a lot of crime movies, thinking that everything going on around them is a mystery…"
Alex was having a hard time believing that this video would be useful.
They had seen many videos like this, and all of them felt like they would lead them to something, but in the end, they were found to be nothing or just some fake videos made by their fans to catch their attention.
"I know it feels like that, but give this one a chance, I really feel like we are on to something in this one…"
Luna spoke with belief in her eyes.
Alex looked at her for a while, before he sighed.
'Sigh…'
"Fine, I'll watch it…"
Alex spoke in resignation before he played the video, hoping that this one really gets them somewhere.
He was getting frustrated with all those fake videos by now.
They had watched too many of them to even count by now….
Now, some of you might want to know: What's happening?
Well, as Luna had said before, Alice was underestimating her popularity.
The day Alice told the world everything that had happened that day, all the people who lost something or someone that day started thanking her for what she saved and for the compensation.
After all, more than half of the world was Alice's fan, and they would never think that Alice, who's their savior would ever try to harm them.
But then came the case of Alice being attacked in broad daylight.
This ignited a spark of fury among her fans and that spark slowly turned into a firestorm.
One of Alice's fans was a programmer, so he created a website, a website where anyone from around the world could log in, and after logging in, they would have to upload anything they found that was related to that mysterious group.
The good thing was that this website cleared out anything that was not related to the mysterious group in any way, so the website grew famous in a matter of a day.
Then, this website's ownership was transferred to Crimson Lotus by that fan, causing his image in the public to rise, and Alice personally met and thanked that guy.
Since then, in two weeks, all they received were fake or misunderstood videos.
The point is that all of this gets discovered when they reach the scene. However, after some time, they stopped going here and there themselves, instead, they sent some of their guild members to check the credibility.
But just like before, none of the videos were something that would give them a clue.
And now it was getting frustrating for them all.
'Those guys are very sneaky, they come in when it's dark, and go back in dark, and since it's the back alley, they blend in quite well in there.
It's like they are using some camouflage ability even though they are not…'
The guy spoke as he zoomed in the camera at the back alley that led to the backdoor of one of the largest hotels in the world.

'I'm lucky to have made a window in my bathroom just so I could peak at the lady next door, but it came in handy right now since it helped me record this.'
The guy continued speaking as the camera was focusing on the same alley.
'The building I live in is right next to Hotel Alabama, which is one of the best hotels in- Wait, why my am I advertising them for free??'
The guy paused for a bit and questioned himself, causing Alex to shake his head and look at Luna.
Luna just smiled a bit forcefully before she averted her eyes.
These past two weeks, Alex and Luna's relationship has improved a lot.
Now Luna was not just someone to Alex, now she was someone close to him.
Luna earned that much, and for now, she was happy with that.
Luna knew that the path after this was not hard, it just needed opportunity and….
Luna turned to look at Alice and Ann.
'Acceptance…'
By now, Luna knew how Alex functioned, so she knew that if even one of them both didn't like Luna joining them, then Luna stood no chance of getting into Alex's harem.
She knew that although all three of them had a nice relationship, they might still not let her share the same man.
'But I won't back down easily…'
Luna muttered inwardly and her voice was resolute.
Alex, on the other hand, was now looking at the video again.
'Whatever, so, as I was saying, my building is right next to the Alabama hotel, so it gets shadowed by its grandness and is almost invisible in people's eyes.
However, those sneaky guys wouldn't have used this path until they were completely sure about the fact that there would be no eyes on them here, and you know what?'
The guy paused and from God knows where, suspenseful music started playing.
*Bzzz*
But the music stopped with a buzz.
'Fuck! This shitty music player, it had to go down right now!'
Alex who heard all that didn't know what to do…
Laugh or cry?
