My Space-Time System

Chapter 462: Catching bigger fish II.

Blake was added to the investigation department only for now, but it didn’t me he could be bossed around like everyone else there.

It was more of a consultancy relationship and of course, he was being paid extra for the extra work even though he did not need it.

[So what do you plan on doing?] The system couldn’t help but ask.

He had no idea why Blake confidently accepted the mission even though he had no clue or direction to take.

“On Earth, there are 3 top criminal sectors; weapons, human trafficking and drugs. These are things that are also in infinite realm so my guess is that the top gangs would be leading these sectors.” Blake explained.

[So which would you be going after?] The system asked.

“The weapon industry is the richest and most powerful among the 3. So if I was to go after them, I would need a lot of manpower and resources which would be troublesome and tiring to request for.”

.....

“So it means I would be going after the human trafficking and hard drug industry.” Blake said making the system wonder if he was alright. Tracking one of them was already difficult let alone going after 2 at the same time.

“It’s not as complicated as you think. Those being trafficked are mostly used as sex slaves in brothels and hotels and so on, but the good or bad thing about it is that sex and drugs go hand in hand.”

“So all I need to do is put in the normal effort and I would have information concerning any of them.” Blake explained.

[Don’t you think that the investigation department already knows about these things and still hasn’t made any progress?] The system said.

“They most likely know of it, but you forget there are certain factors that are halting their progress. The main one being the top gangs having informants in the ash corps, especially in the investigation department.”

“As for how I will solve the case, it is very simple. I am a locator and I will only release important information when I am ready to weed out all informants.” Blake said with a grin on his face.

“I can only do that through Darius’ help.” Blake got up from his chair and left for the Colonel’s office.

“Captain Blake, how may I be of help?” Colonel Darius asked with a wide smile on his face as Blake entered his office.

Blake wasted no time in explaining most of his plan to colonel Darius, before making a few requests necessary for the mission.

“So you are saying that in 2 days from now, I should announce that we have a lead on human traffickers to only those in the investigation department and that we would be striking a large base in less than 30 minutes. Then we keep a close eye on each of their moves and calls?” Colonel Darius asked just to make sure.

“Yes, sir.” Blake confirmed.

“Alright then, let’s hope this works out.” Darius was excited and impressed by Blake’s plan.

[You know he and the royal family is the reason the top gangs haven’t been caught?] The system said.

‘Yes, and I put that into consideration. His approval is one of the main reasons I spoke to him in the first place.

His approval was what I needed, and if he had told me to back out, I would have done so without question.’ Blake said.

They were right, the royal family was the main reason the top gangs were still existing. Why colonel Darius had given them the go-ahead was because the royal family wanted to send a reminder to the top gangs that they were still at the top and shouldn’t think about interfering with the upcoming projects.

The investigation was to randomly select the unlucky scapegoat to be used as an example to the rest.

...

Once Blake was done with colonel Darius, he moved straight to the training room to check on his unit that was currently training their physicality and combat skills. He stayed with them and gave pointers till it was dark.

Immediately after dismissing all of them, Blake changed to his casual wear before exiting the Square.

“Take me to the Mystic strip club.” Blake said to the carriage driver as he took a seat.

The Mystic strip club was a mid-sized strip club located in the middle region of the city, so it was only a little less than 25 minutes before they arrived at the location.

After paying the gate fee Blake walked into the club and was immediately hit by the strong scent of alcohol and smoke.

‘Dim lights and alcohol a combination that leads to many mistakes.’ Blake shook his head as he weaved his way through the crowd.

‘They are enticing, but not only will I not cheat on Tessie and Camilla, but I have standards and they are below them.’ Blake thought as he walked past poles and went towards the private room.

“Hey, handsome!” A slim but busty blonde approached Blake, but before she could touch him he grabbed her hand before paying for a private room and leading her in.

“Straight forward, I like that.” The blonde stripper said in a seductive tone, but Blake grabbed her hand once again as she tried to touch him.

“All I need is your blood, and nothing else.” Blake said.

The stripper was confused at first but seeing that this was an opportunity to get more coins she decided to get the most out of it.

“That will cost you a lo...” Before she could finish Blake took out a silver coin and tossed it to her before taking out a syringe.

She was flustered for a second before surrendering her arm to Blake who wasted no time extracting her blood.

Once done, Blake left the club and returned to his house.
